Family affairs: conspiracies of the heart

kanami just arrived in Tokyo from Sendai. The last time she was here her mother was killed and everyone believed it to be the Tanaka's that killed her. Her stepsister Chiharu brought her to a park where the basketball team of her school was having practice. "So why do we have to be here again?" "I told you we're just here to watch the practice" "What's so fun about that?" "Come on Kanami you used to love basketball you even pretended to be a boy to play it " "That was a long time ago, people change" "you can say that again" As they are approaching the Court a group of girls came to them . "Here comes trouble" Kanami said "They are my friends relax" "Doesn't matter they are trouble and I'd rather not get involved I'm gonna go watch the practice without you enjoy your day" Kanami said and turns away from her she goes to sit down at the bench.The girls came to Chiharu . "Hey Chiru you made it who was that with you just now? "One of the girls asked "Don't mind her she's just my stepsister and I'm supposed to be nice to her and all ...(Chiharu thinks for a moment and comes to a realisation.) But that doesn't mean you have to you guys can just torment in my place while I keep up appearances"she said "That's great and all but she's still your sister and she definitely saw us talking to you so that would be too obvious"one of the girls said "but you have connections so get someone at school to do that and don't drag my name into this "she said and they started to walk towards the bench where Kanami is sitting.another group of girls arrived just as the practice is about to end they sit far away from Kanami and when the practice is over Hinata Kanami's childhood friend came to her and hugged her. "(she hugs him back and pulls away quickly) not to be rude but you're really sweaty and I'm clean so better do this another time" "(he laughs)you haven't changed at all .. how have you been ?" "Has could be expected from someone who has to have guards 24/7 " " You don't have guards now right ?"Hinata asked " For now anyway ... enough about me so you're the captain of the team that's something for a nerd like you anyway" "That hurts "he exclaimed Kazumi the young master of the Tanaka family was one of the players he came towards them and claps Hinata's shoulder . "Hey captain I don't really have the time to watch you cozying up to your friend I have places to be ." "oh yeah you can go and can you tell the others for me?" "We both know I'm not going to do that (he looks at Kanami) second young miss I almost didn't recognize you " "Do I know you?" "Don't worry you will soon " (he left) AT KAZUMI'S CAR .... Kazumi is talking with his gaurd "can you find out why the second young miss of sasakis is back here again"he asked "I'll get to it young master"the guard replies "(kazumi is talking to him self) this is going to be a fun end of high school" Back at the court ..... "is the conflict between your families still going on?"Hinata asks "Do you think it will ever stop as long as my stepmother still has dad wrapped around her finger it will never stop"Kanami replies "I guess,but I have to go now it was nice talking to you before school started( he hugs her again) " you really should stop doing that you're going to make your girlfriends jealous " "Them l don't care what they do and also they're after Kazumi so it's a good thing you won't be with him (he gives her a skeptical look) right?" "of course why are you looking at me like I was planning to get close to him? " "you might not be planning to but I know Kazumi and he would do anything to get what he wants" "what's that got to do with me ?" "just saying .. bye I'll see you tomorrow"he starts to walk off "okay bye "she waves at him and turns to look at chiharu who's still talking to her friends so she decides to wait . While she was waiting the girls who were sitting opposite her came to her . "hey you !"the leader of the girls shouted at her
