Shuichi Shindou was born into a low middle class family of blacksmiths and bakers. His father was a blacksmith and his mother owned a bakery. When he was born, his mother and father knew that he would be the perfect son. They loved him so and were very protective of him. Especially his father; in fact, no matter how much he worked his father always found time to make sure that Shuichi was out of trouble. His mother was just as overprotective if not more of course as a child the pink haired boy was always very curious about the world around him. So curious that at times he would wander out of the house or away from his parents to see everything around him. Earlier on this night was no different, even as a teenager he was always wondering offs somewhere.
"Sakyo," Mrs. Shindou called. He approached her oldest son with worry filling her heart. Sakyo like Shuichi had pink hair and shiny, violet eyes. He was Shuichi's identical twin brother. He knew that his twin was always slipping away; even when they were together he would wander off.
"No, I haven't." he answered. Then being the concerned mother she was, she looked all over for her baby boy. She went to his and Sakyo's bedroom and he was no where in sight. She went in the Kitchen and he was not there either. She finally checked the balcony and saw her boy outside staring at the sky. This was a regular habit of his. Each morning he would slip away and go onto the balcony and after that just pop up out of no where.
"Shuichi, why are you up here?" His mother asked.
"Hi, mom." He greeted innocently. He then turned her attention to the stars. At first she seemed confused. How can shuichi be so interested in the night sky? But then she remembered that no matter where they were, he would always stare at the sky, especially at night.
"I always wait here for a shooting star to appear that way my dreams can come true." He said.
Then Mrs. Shindou finally seemed to be getting the picture. She stayed at the balcony for a good twenty minutes before they finally saw what appeared to be a shooting star. Shuichi got excited and looked closer but it was just a helicopter. Then ten minutes later. It looked like another one appeared. This time it was real. Both the teen and his mother made wishes on the star.
Shuichi's mom: I want my sons to be the happiest boys in the world.
Shuichi: I wish that I could one day find true love.
The shooting star disappeared and they headed for bed.
The next day the young man was in school here he sat with his best friend Hiroshi Nakano. The two of them had been best friends for years, ever since they were in preschool. Things in the school seemed to be going okay, at least until during class he was called into the principal's office for reasons unknown.
"SHUICHI SHINDOU, PLEASE REPORT TO THE MAIN OFFICE. THAT IS ALL!"
"Ooooo. The class said in unison. They all assumed that the near perfect Shuchi was in trouble, but he was not one to do anything wrong, sure at times he was reckless but never wrong, not on purpose.
The pink haired teen nervously trailed to the principal's office. He went there awaiting the worst of the worst.
"Y-yes Mr. Kazui?" he uttered out.
"I'm afraid that I have some terrible news." The man said. The fear in Shuichi's heart began to flow through is whole body; his mind was ready to explode at that very moment. He was hardly ever called into the principal's office. What ever he was about to be told he knew it wouldn't be a good thing.
"I didn't do it, sir!" he blurted out.
"I know that you did nothing wrong, ." Principal Kazui said. Then he let out a sigh and began to tell the terrible news.
"I'm afraid that your mother, father and twin brother were all involved in a fatal car accident. Sadly, your mother and twin brother are now dead."
Just then the pink haired boy had turned cold all over. The shock of hearing about his family sent him into a state of quiet devastation. His face was void of any emotion but his heart was breaking into pieces, his mind had gone completely blank, and his body had felt numb. Tears began to fall from his stiff eyes.
When school ended he was greeted by his grieving father, the father and son went home to grieve their loss together. How unfortunate that such a loving family can suffer such a devastating loss in just one day. With his wife and older son gone, felt compelled to find a woman with a son to have a wife for him and a mother and brother for his only son. Just before dinner he went on a dating website to find the perfect woman for him. And he found one in one called Ayumi Aizawa.
