The Prologue has been edited because, since it was the first thing I wrote, it was so full of grammar error that I couldn't belive it... I also fixed a few things.

If you're just starting to read this, let me tell you that the first few chapters suck, but it gets better. This is my first project and because of that my skills when I started were horrible. I think I've improved over the course of time, but I still have a long way to go.

PS: This story is mosty centered on Original Characters, just so you know... If you want, give it a chance.


Prologue.

Dark clouds covered the sky and heavy rain was pouring down. Summer rain was an oddity, but not so much in a place like Inaba. Here it rained all year long. In a room, a single silhouette, sitting in front of a desk, was looking through the window… remembering.

The silhouette belonged to a man. He was tall, dressed in dark gray pants and a light grey shirt. Looking at his face, one could say he was on his late 30's, but the silver hair, often confused with the grey hair of an elder man, might make you think otherwise.

The room he was in was a small one. Inside it, there was only a bookcase, a desk with many drawers and a chair in front of it. On top of the desk, a lamp and a bunch of papers were decorating it. A single window, about half the height of the wall, could be seen at the left side of the desk. By the looks of it, this was just a simple office.

Having finished checking some documents, the man allowed himself to watch the rain and think.

'It has been many years now... and yet, the memories are still fresh.' He thought with a small smile on his face. 'The rain always manages to bring them back.'

Yes, is has been many years since 'those days'. Days of 'adventures', if you want to call them that, which he shared with his group of friends. Those days were full of danger, and when he thought about it... 'God, we were reckless' was all that crossed his mind, along with a big smile forming his face as he shook his head. He was relieved that they made it through. They had not only stayed alive, but also succeeded in their self-proclaimed mission.

But not everything was hardship and danger back then. Precious were the memories of the times at the beach with his friends, the skii trip they made to the mountains, simple school days and school-related events like the trip to Port-Island and even the school camp-

...

Forget that last part, that wasn't fun at all.

'If I think hard, I can still taste that Mistery Food X'. Not that he would try to remember, though. But even that memory was precious to him.

The noise of footsteps on the wooden floor woke him up from his thoughts. He looked at his wristwatch and by the time, had an idea of who was coming. There was a gentle knock on the door to which he answered:

"Yes, come in"

The door opened up and the figure of a beautiful woman dressed in a pink kimono appeared in front of him.

"Dear, dinner's ready. Are you done?" She spoke in a gentle voice.

Her long, black hair reached far below her shoulder, almost reaching her waist. He looked at her, and with his mind still remembering 'those days', he thought how much she had changed over the years, but also how much she was still the same. Her beautiful, slender figure hadn't changed much, and the grace with which she wears a kimono, no matter how many times he saw her, still surprised him. But even thinking that, she had obviously changed. The look of the innocent high school girl had been replaced with the look of a beautiful and strong woman, worthy of the manager of this traditional Inn. Yes, her name was Yukiko Amagi.

"Yeah, I finished here a while ago, I was just thinking..." He answered, still seating on the chair in front of his desk, but now facing towards the door.

The nostalgic look on his eyes told her exactly what he was thinking.

"Well, it is raining..." She looked out the window, then got closer to him to have a better view of his face and put a hand on his cheek. "Are you ok?" She asked with a look of small worry in her own eyes.

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just remembering the good times" He told her while smiling at her and taking the hand in his cheek in his own.

"You make it sound like these aren't good times" She teased, giggling lightly.

"You know that's not what I meant." He stood up. She was somewhat shorter than him, so she had to look up.

Now, he put both his hands in her cheeks and gave her a small kiss on the forehead, in a way of saying 'thank you for worrying about me'. Then, he gave her a teasing smile.

"Come on, it's dinner time and the kids will start wondering what's taking us so long"

"We are not 'kids' anymore, you know!" That voice came from the hallway, the voice of a girl.

"Well, speak of the devil..." Yukiko spoke in an amused/annoyed tone. "Why is it that you are two are always there when your father and I are having a moment?"

"Isn't that what children normally do? You know… ruin their parent's moments…" The somewhat bored voice came not from the girl, but from a boy this time, as they both appeared through the door.

The siblings were a couple of teens. They shared many facial features so they looked almost alike. They also shared similar height, with the girl being slightly taller, and seemed to be the same age. You would say they were twins, and guess what, you'd be right.

The man looked at his son and his daughter, then at Yukiko, who was now talking to the kids with her hands of her hips. He took a moment for himself while this happened.

Yes, he and Yukiko had gotten married many years ago. It had been many years since he had to change his last name to 'Amagi'. Not that he minded, of course. It was somewhat of a requirement for marrying the daughter of an important family.

Sometime after that, around a year and a half, Yukiko got pregnant. They were kinda surprised, but really happy nonetheless. When they found out they would be having twins, to say they were 'surprised' was an understatement. And now, in just a few days, it would be 17 years since they were born.

His daughter, Reiko Amagi, younger than her brother by 1 minute, had the silver hair of his father and just as long as her mother's but tied up in a ponytail. She also had her father's sharp, grey eyes. She was wearing her school summer uniform. The sailor uniform has remained the same as it was back then for Yasogami High.

His son, Haru Amagi, had black hair and in a bowl cut sort of style, like the one he used to have when he was younger and still used. He had his mother's grey eyes, but with a somewhat bored expression on them. Like his sister, he was wearing his school summer uniform, only the male version, of course… the classic gray pants and the white short-sleeved shirt.

He made himself snap out of his thoughts and started heading for the door, silently. When passing by the side of his wife and children, he noticed the odd looks they were giving him, looks that asked 'where are you going?' but he just walked past them.

Once out of the room, he started heading for the dining room and screamed to his back.

"You forgot about dinner? Last one to get there has to wash the dishes!"

And with that the siblings bolted from the small office in direction of the dining room at full speed.

Yukiko also exited the office but she did so more calmly. She looked at her husband and he just smiled at her in return.

"See, Yu? These are good times, too." Yukiko told him.

"I know." Yu smiled. "And I'm thankful for every single moment."

Together, they slowly started walking towards the dining room for another family dinner at their home, the Amagi Inn.
