A teenage boy wearing a black beanie rides his skateboard recklessly though the crowded streets , with two others running after him , one a brunette and the other raven haired . If you look far behind the three boys you see a man that is giving up chasing after the boys .
As the man turns back the way the boys came from . They duck into a alleyway were they had stored their backpacks . You see the boys were orphans they were they only family the others had in the world . The boy on the skateboard jumps up and reveals he was holding a loaf of bread he had lifted from the mans stand .
He throws it to the brunet who easily catches it while he says " Its not much but it should feed us for a couple days right , Saruhiko?
The brunet replies has he places it in his backpack " Yes Yata it should feed us for a few days if were careful ."
He turns to the Raven haired boy of the trio making sure he can clearly see his mouth and says " Crow we need to move tonight you have a place picked right ?"
The boy answers slowly taking the time to consider his words and how he thinks they should sound " Yes Saru , Yata I have a place picked out . It's not far from here . Behind a bar named Homra there's a dumpster that we should all fit behind and it should shield us from the wind and cold ."
Which was important because it was the middle of winter in Japan and the streets weren't the best place to sleep that time of year .
Yata picks up his board and backpack then nods his head to Crow saying " Lead the way then".
Crow leads the way out of the alley with the other two following him towards the dumpster which is only about a block away .
Mean while at Homra
The bar had been slow that night has it had started snowing half an hour ago and it had sent people to their homes early so the only people at the bar were the three members of Homra . The third and red king Mikoto and his two best friends Totsuka and Izumo who owned the bar .
The sight inside it was not unusual with Mikoto asleep on the couch . Izumo behind the counter cleaning the few glasses that had been used by customers that night . Totsuka sat at the counter eating the dinner Izumo had made for them . Because after the accident when Totsuka and Mikoto had set the stove on fire they were both forbidden from using anything in the kitchen besides the sink and the fridge to get drinks and prepackaged snakes from the cabinet .
" Hey Totsuka ." Izumo's voice breaks the silence in the the bar causing Totsuka to look at him . When Izumo has his attention he asks " When your finished eating will you take the trash out to the dumpster for me ."
Totsuka replies " Yeah Izumo I got it ." Then stands and picks up his plate and walks into the kitchen , placing his plate in the sink he walks to the trash and pulls out the bag . Then heads out the back door . As he opens it the automatic light goes on and he is sees three teenagers a little younger then him huddled together sleeping behind the dumpster .
Totsuka leans in the door and shouts " Izumo , wake the King and come out here we have some strays sleeping back here ."
Izumo hearing Totsuka shout about strays and waking the king , walks out the back not wanting to wake Mikoto with out a very good reason . When he joins Totsuka , he sees the three boys as well . He quietly tells Totsuka " I'll get the King the only reason they would be sleeping back is if they are street kids and judging by the state of their clothes they are . They'll need a place to stay at least for the night . But knowing the king it will most likely be longer then that ."
As Izumo walks back inside to get the king ,Totsuka takes a moment to look at the boys clothes and sees Izumo is right about them looking like street kids . The only one that looks remotely dressed for the weather is the brunet sleeping on top of the other two and even his blue coat is threadbare and worn . The other two are dressed worse . The raven haired boy is wearing a ratty black button down and blue jeans with the knees torn out . The last boy with the red hair sticking out from under his beanie is shorts and a tee shirt both strained and torn . Shorts in this weather it would be a miracle if he didn't get sick it would be a miracle if any of them didn't get sick .
Inside the bar , Izumo walks over to the couch Mikoto is sleeping on and starts shaking him while saying " Mikoto you need to wake up ."
After a minute of Izumo shaking Mikoto he wakes up and looks to Izumo and asks " Izumo what the hell ."
Izumo tells him " We need your help in the alley . Totsuka found three boys sleeping behind the dumpster . Were to small to move them and if we tried when I woke up it could end badly for us . We could use some back up ."
Mikoto asks " How old are they ?"
Izumo sighed and said " they look to to be Totsuka's age ."
Mikoto stands up off the couch and says " come on then . Let's go out there .
Mikoto follows Izumo back out to the alley were they find Totsuka speaking to one of the boys that had woken when they were inside . They stay in the door way not to startle the boy.
