<em>Let us set the setting for you. It is a small village on the island of Hawaii. Kihei to be exact, just off the beach too. Within the village you have the Bird's Nest, the local hangout. It was set back from the neighboring stores, allowing parking in the front of the cozy tavern. However, the parking lot was rarely used as people tend to walk around the village then drive. The population of said village was small too, only about 150 people, on good days. So therefore everything was within walking distance. <br/><br/>the people we will be focusing on are all friends. These six friends are about to get some interesting news from their parents. Each are in their parents home, each about to hear the news. So what do you say? Let's listen in, see what happens.<br/></em><br/><br/>Akira was sitting in her class, Ear Training, in New York when she saw one of her father's men come into her class. Sighing, she knew what was happening. She was being forced to head back to her home town, for some reason or another. Gathering her books, she pulled the tight jean skirt down and her dark hair across her shoulder before heading to her dorm room.<br/><br/>She had to pack, had to change, had to get ready for whatever it was that her father needed her for. She just hoped Eri wasn't causing problems again. Just hoped that he wasn't in jail, hoped for a lot of things. Sighing, she grabbed Claire's birthday gift and put it in her purse. She grabbed enough clothes for the month, and all her necessary items before getting a pair of black jeans from her closet. Slipping them over her bare hips, she put her hair up and smiled.<br/><br/>Her clothes always managed to fit her curves just right, always managed to show off just the right things and never showing off too much skin. Grabbing her suitcases and book bag full of every text book she needed and her laptop, she took them down to the rental car from her father and then went back to grab her music books, violin, and script for this years performance. Sighing, she closed up her dorm room and then got into the car.<br/><br/>Reaching the airport, she took her violin, her purse and a small bag on the plane with her. The basics that she never wanted to loose, especially her music books.<br/><br/>Nearly two days later, she landed in Honolulu and getting into her father's car. She didn't say anything, didn't want to say anything with the jet lag that she had. However the silence was not lived for long.<br/><br/>"So how was the flight?" Her father asked. It was clear there was something on his mind, something eating at him.<br/><br/>"It was fine." She whispered, "Just wish this could have waited until my break." She smiled. The rest of the trip home was quiet. As they got up to the house, she saw Eri and was relieved that nothing involved him at least.<br/><br/>As everyone got settled, both Eri and Akira was in their dad's study, ready to hear what they had been brought together forever, "Aki, Eri, I hate to say it, but before both of you were even born, just a fetus in your mothers womb, we all agreed to have you married off. Engaged rather to certain people. It was all to keep the blood in good lines."<br/><br/>Akira scoffed and said, "Dad, I already know. Maybe you should learn to hide papers a little better. Let me guess, Richard and Sandra? Richard for me, Sandra for Eri? Well I hate to tell you, but everyone thought wrong." She smirked and looked towards her twin. "Let's say we go to the nest, meet up with everyone."<br/><br/>She didn't wait for an answer before she was already out of the room and the house, hearing her father cursing in the background. She was walking towards the Bird's Nest, texting to her friends. 'In town, meet me at the Nest?" Hitting send, she walked into the bar after a few minutes of walking and took their usual spot, ordering their usual beverages.
