Chapter 1: Japan

In the Tokyo airport you could clearly see the planes coming down to land, the people around, you could hear the noise of their words, also the squeaking of the wheels of various suitcases, the people excited and also the people calmly waiting around.

As they passed by the exit door, a tall young man with long dark hair and wearing black sportswear came out.

"Damn, I need a cab"

complaining the young man watched as several vehicles drove away through the place, when a woman in school clothes approached him.

"are you lost?"

kindly the pink-haired young woman smiled at him as she held her suitcase in her hands, but seeing her clearly Dante pulled out a small dictionary.

"where...can.... find...transportation vehicles?"

she surprised smiled and took his hand.

"come with me."

Only then did the young man find himself taken to a vehicle where he was lifted into it, but to his surprise the young woman also climbed in with him.

"Heh?"

confused he looked at her, but the young woman only smiled at him and the cab departed.

"Huh? I think I should get out."

but with his words the young woman smiled again and the locks of the vehicle rang firmly.

*I'm being kidnapped*

Dante's thoughts began to churn, as did his hands.

*maybe they're yakusas dammit, they'll sell my organs on some black market?

With fear running through him, Dante began to wrap his fists in tape.

* if there's one thing I learned on the street, it's how to break car windows *

but as he was about to do so, the young woman showed him a notebook.

"Dante Gerald"

When he read his name, terror covered him completely, but he continued reading.

"after your scandal in new york we will send you to a school in Japan, you will be in the care of your half-sister Leticia and her Daughter Yuno, she will meet you at the airport."

Confused Dante looked at her slightly and she smiled at him.

"You are Yuno?"

she nodded to him slightly, as Dante watched her fist ready to punch slowly relax.

"it's nice to meet you and excuse me."

Yuno confusedly tilted her head, but just smiled at him, that's how the journey continued for hours, until they reached a town where there was quite a lot of nature.

In silence they got out of the vehicle, while Yuno said goodbye to the driver, both walked down the street to a normal house.

Yuno opened the way for him, as she arranged her shoes in the entrance as she saw Dante pass by without removing his slippers a blow came full on the back of her head.

"AUCH!"

"What are you doing?"

"What are you doing to hit me?"

"your slippers leave them at the entrance."

"ha? or sorry about that?"

annoyed Yuno advanced at a fast pace through the house, Dante though confused left his slippers at the entrance to walk to the living room to wait for the angry Yuno.

"What are you doing?"

"I... I don't know."

Dante confused looked at her, on the way home she seemed very friendly, but now she seemed like someone very irritating.

"where will I sleep?"

Yuno sighed and smiled at him pointing to the staircase.

"on the second floor the last room on the right and remember to sleep early, we have school tomorrow."

"School?"

confused Dante followed what he was doing as Yuno had a knife in his hands and was tapping it against a piece of meat.

"where will Leticia be?"

but only moved into the designated location of his room, a bed, a closet and a nightstand.

Dante opened the suitcase and left the clothes in his suitcase, finger ribbons, garters and hair bands, but among all the things including the money he brought which was not little, after all it was the various bets he brought with him, his precious childhood gift a ball autographed by Michael Jordan.

In the closet he could see a black uniform hanging with a letter attached to it, when he removed the letter he could see his name on it.

Sitting down on the bed, he began to read the letter.

"to my troubled brother.

dear Dante, I will be traveling for a while, so Yuno will be in charge of you, I leave you the regulation uniform for your school and I heard that you like basketball so I advise you to enroll in the club so you can continue enjoying the sport that you love, but keep something in mind, this is not America, stop being a bully, your sister Leticia greets you."

confused he went back to rereading the letter while scratching his head.

"i am not a bully"

but several memories flashed through his mind.

street fights, vehicle bashing, and even some confrontations where he took money from idiots.

"no, no, that was because they beat me up and as punishment I took their money."

"you're a bully"

from the edge of the door you could see the eyes of Yuno who replied that he was a bully.

"hey don't eavesdrop on people!"

Yuno walked away quickly as Dante sighed heavily, he took the ball in his hands and played with it for a while but after that he just decided to rest, the trip after all was very long.

Ready to sleep he could hear Yuno's footsteps and her piercing eyes looking at him from the door, he tried to ignore her hoping to pass the time but she didn't leave and Dante fell asleep, not knowing if Yuno left the place.

Even so Dante's worries did not disperse, he understood the language as well as the writing, but only slightly, so it would be a big problem, on the other hand he wants to participate in the basketball club but he never learned how to work in a team, after all he only played two-person or one-person street.

It will be different now, maybe it is even the end for his basketball life, but he should not give up without trying.

"tomorrow will be such a long day."

In the middle of the night he opened his eyes to groan at his thoughts that woke him up, but he got a surprise to see Yuno sleeping next to him hugging him lightly.

"what is this?"
