My name is Ema Hinata. As of today I will be living with my new brothers. You see, my father is getting remarried and has asked me to move in with her sons. I was shocked when he told me there was thirteen of them, but I agreed anyway. My dad travels a lot so I'm often home alone.
"What are you doing after school today?" Yuusuke asked me in maths. Yuusuke and I have been dating for about a month now. We had been friends for a while and we both finally admitted our feelings for each other.
"I'm moving in with my new brothers, remember?" I was sure I told him at least five time by now.
"Oh yeah. I'd come with you, but-"
"I know Yuusuke, you have a supplementary class. You really need to start working harder."
The final bell rang and I started to pack everything away.
"I'll see you tomorrow." Yuusuke gave me a quick kiss before rushing of to his lesson. I walked to the train station and boarded the train. I got off and took the map out of my bag. I then followed the directions to where my new home should be.
"You must be Hinata. I've had your stuff moved into your room already."
The man was tall with mousy brown hair and a friendly face. Standing next to him was a young boy with light pink hair.
"Yes, I'm Ema Hinata, please take care of me from now on." I bowed in politeness.
"I'm the eldest son, Masaomi. This here is the youngest son, Wataru."
"I'm so happy to have a big sister to play with." Wataru said cheerfully.
"And I'm happy to have such a cute little brother to play with." I smiled back at the young boy.
"We should probably go in to meet everyone." Masaomi stated. I agreed and followed him into my new home. We walked into the living room where I saw two men standing, one had silver hair and the other had dark purple hair.
I felt arms wrap around me.
"Tsubaki," the purple haired man said, "what are you doing?"
"It's a please to meet you hug, Azuza." The silver haired twin replied before he let me go.
"I'd appreciate if you didn't just hug me when you felt like it, Tsubaki-san" I said, my face bright red in annoyance.
"You remembered my name? My cute little sister remembered my name." Tsubaki smiled.
"That's enough." Tsubaki was interupted by a tall blonde with glasses. I noticed the badge he was wearing. "I'm the 2nd son, Ukyo, pleased to meet you."
"Ema Hinata, please take care of me." I bowed again.
"So adorable." Tsubaki wrapped his arms around me again. I was about to push him away when Azusa punched him.
"What was that for?" Tsubaki asked Azusa.
"You're bothering our little sister. She told you already not to hug her."
"What's this? Little sister doesn't like hugs?" The man was tall and wore a beautiful purple kimono. "I'm Kaname, you can call me big brother."
"I do like hugs, if there from my boyfriend, big brother." I replied to Kaname.
"Aw, she isn't available..." Tsubaki complained.
"Anyway, if you ever want to listen to some prayers, come to your big brother." Kaname said.
"You must be a monk." I said offhandedly.
"Why is there a girl in the living room?" I recognised that voice and looked up at the balcony.
"Yuusuke." I shouted, shocked. What was he doing here?
"Ema? Why are you here?" Yuusuke asked me.
"I live here now."
"No that can't be. I won't accept it."
"Except what?" Tsubaki interrupted.
"My girlfriend can't be my sibling."
"Girlfriend?"
"Yeah, Yuusuke and I have been dating for a month now. I had no idea he would be my new brother."
"Hey, don't you think we look alike?" Azusa and Tsubaki said to break the tension.
"Well, yeah. You two are twins."
"Eh," Tsubaki frowned, "how did you know?"
"You really think I'm so stupid that I can't see if someone is a twin."
I was sat on the sofa surrounded by 9 of my new brothers. There was Iori, Subaru, Masaomi, Ukyo, Kaname, Yuusuke, Tsubaki, Azusa and Wataru.
Masaomi was the first son at 31, next was the second son Ukyo who was 29. Kaname is the third son at 27. Next was the fifth and sixth sons, Azusa and Tsubaki who were both 24. The ninth son at 19 was Subaru. Iori was the tenth son and he was 18. The eleventh son was Yuusuke at 17 and Wataru was the thirteenth son at 10 years old.
"I apologise that not everyone could be here. Few are busy with work at the moment." Ukyo explained.
"I understand. You're a lawyer, aren't you? I asked. I had been wondering about it since I saw him.
"Yes I am, how did you know?" He asked in return.
"I saw the badge."
"I see." He then turned on the TV. "One of the brothers is here." The TV showed a concert and a young idol.
"That's Asakura." I said blandly.
"You're a fan?" Tsubaki asked.
"Not at all. He seems so fake to me."
"Finally someone who can see past our brothers facade." He cheered.
"Brother?" I asked.
"His real name is Asahina Fuuto. He is the twelfth son. He's actually 15." Masaomi explained.
I pulled the sleeves on my jumper down.
"Are you cold?" Masaomi asked me worried.
"Ah, no." I said and smiled.
"It's quite the opposite actually, since so many of us are here." Kaname explained.
I felt my eyes close and reopen again.
"Are you tired?" Masaomi asked me.
"I'm fi-" I suddenly felt dizzy and my whole body slammed against the coffee table. I felt a hand press against my forehead.
"You're not fine at all. You have a high fever."
I woke up to see I was in my room.
I managed to sit up without feeling dizzy.
"We're lucky there's a physician in the family." Ukyo said.
"It's a paedatrian though." Masaomi interjected. "Are you dizzy when you sit up?"
"No, I think the medicine is working."
"That's good. I'll prepare some rice soup." Ukyo left leaving me with just Kaname and Masaomi. A blonde man entered with flawless skin.
"When you are feeling better, let me arrange your hair." He asked.
Masaomi explained to me that Louis was a beautician and I agreed to the blondes request.
Eventually they all left me to rest, telling me to use the bath on the fifth floor since the one on my floor is broke. I woke again and opened the door. I noticed a cart full of gifts by my door.
"Did I wake you?" Kaname asked.
"Not at all."
"Do you think you can sleep?"
"Probably. I'm gonna take a bath first though."
"Do you need big brother to sleep with you?"
"No thanks." I left Kaname and made my way to the bathroom. I was about to enter when I saw Subaru standing there shirtless.
"Sorry Subaru-San." I apologized and left.
I was standing on the balcony when I heard voices from below. I only heard parts of the conversation, but I was able to piece together what it was about. Suddenly Tsubaki and Azusa walked up the stairs.
"I support you." I said. "If you two want to be together, then I support you."
"What?" Tsubaki said. "Oh you don't know?"
"Know what?"
"Tsuba-nii and Azu-nii are voice actors." Subaru explained from behind me.
"Oh I see." I looked over the balcony to see two script on the table.
"You're reaction was so funny. Must mean we are doing a good job." Tsubaki said cheerfully.
I left and went to bed. As I fell asleep I wondered what other adventures my new brothers had in store for me.
A few days passed and I was getting on with my brothers. Yuusuke couldn't except the fact I would be his sibling and decided that it'd be best if we broke up. Of course I was upset, but I wasn't going to let him know that. I walked downstairs towards the kitchen ready for breakfast.
"Good morning." I said.
"Morning." Ukyo replied. "Breakfast will be ready momentarily. I began serving bowls of rice according to the schedule. There were to be 5 bowls today. I served on for Ukyo, Subaru, Yuusuke, myself and Wataru. "Thank you, you didn't have to do that."
"I feel useless just sitting here." I explained. "Morning." I said to Yuusuke and Subaru as they walked down the stairs. Yuusuke didn't stop for breakfast.
"Aren't you going to eat?" I asked.
"I have a supplementary class I have to get to." He was lying. There wasn't any supplementary classes in the morning.
"Oh." I frowned and sat down.
"Are you okay?" Ukyo asked.
"Of course, why wouldn't I be?" I was hoping he would leave it at that.
"You don't look okay. In fact you look upset. Did something happen between you and Yuusuke?" I couldn't hide it.
"He broke up with me." I cried out. "He said he couldn't handle being my sibling and my boyfriend."
"Boyfriend?" Subaru asked.
"Did you not know that Ema and Yuusuke were dating. They were together for about a month now." Ukyo explained the situation to him.
"I don't understand why he's lying. He's been my best friend for years now suddenly he can't stand to be around me for more than a second." I began crying and I couldn't stop myself. "Supplementary lessons my ass. The idiot knows there's no supplementary classes in the morning." I was furious. Ukyo decided that I wouldn't be able to concerntrate if I was in school so he allowed me to have to day off.
A few hours later I left my bedroom and walked down to the living room.
"Fuuto-Kun." I whispered when I saw the boy asleep on the sofa.
"Who are you? Are you someone's girlfriend? How did you get in?"
"I'm Ema. I'm your new older sister, I've been living here for a while now."
"Are you an idiot?"
"No." I denied.
"Hmm. You're pretty cute big idiot sister."
Fuuto left me in a confused daze. He was a bigger dick than I thought. I walked into the kitchen and saw Ukyo standing there with groceries.
"Welcome home." I said with a smile.
"It's been a while since I heard that. Have you met Fuuto yet?"
"Yeah, earlier."
"That's good. I asked him to come home early today seeing as he can't make it tomorrow."
"What's happening tomorrow."
"We're throwing a party for Subaru. We don't normally celebrate birthdays, but since it's his 20th it's special."
"That's amazing, is there anything I can do to help?"
"It'd be great if you could bake a cake."
An hour passed and I was struggling to carry the bags back home. Let me tell you, carrying enough ingredients to make cake for 11 people was difficult. I knelt down placing the bags down as I took a much needed rest,
"I bet Subaru-San wouldn't have a problem carrying all these bags, with all the roadwork he does." I turned around, sure someone was behind me, there was no one there.
When I got home I made a huge Victoria sponge cake with strawberries inside. I decorated with white buttercream icing, strawberries and a chocolate plate that had 'Happy Birthday Subaru' inscribe on it in my fanciest writing. The cake looks amazing. I just hoped I could give my older brother an amazing 20th birthday.
I returned to my room for a while when I heard a knock. I opened up to see Louis.
"Since it's a party, would you let me arrange your hair?" He asked. I agree and followed him down stairs. He sat me on a chair in the living room and curled my light brown hair. It was beautiful with a fish tail plait in it and the rest left down.
"Now for finishing touches." He tried to turn his curlers on finding that they were broken. "Let me just get a new pair."
"This is more than enough already, Louis-san."
"Please. Let me finish." I agreed and he left.
"Hey!" I looked up to the balcony to see Fuuto. "Have you seen Louis-san?"
"He just went out, he should be back soon. Why?"
"Like I'd tell an outsider like you. How long will he be gone?"
"Like I'd tell an obnoxious dick like you." I resorted.
"Hey you changed your hair. I never noticed how beautiful my big sister was. You think you could forget for a moment that you and I are siblings, my pretty big sister."
"Ha." I laughed. "Fuck off."
"Wow!" Wataru squealed. "Big sisters cake looks so yummy."
"Thank you." I replied.
"May I ask why you made Subaru a cake?" Iori asked me.
"Ukyo asked me too. Subaru is twenty now, I wanted to make it special." I explained.
"I wish my cute little sister would make cake for me." Kaname said, pulling me into a hug.
"You're making her uncomfortable, Kana-nii-san." I was thankful that Iori said that.
"I can't eat it." Yuusuke said.
"Fine don't eat it then. Tsuba-nii can eat your share." I knew he was acting like a dick so I would be a bitch back to him.
"Only if my little sister feeds it to me." Tsubaki paused. "Or do you prefer to be fed? Here say ahh."
I followed Tsubaki's request and opened my mouth as he popped a strawberry inside.
Everyone was sat around the table watching as Subaru blew the candles in his cake out. I took a picture with my camera. Ukyo cut the cake up and gave everyone a piece. Yuusuke reluctantly accepted and ate it, saying it was delicious.
I woke up feeling thirsty and was about the head to the kitchen when I heard voices coming from the kitchen. Tsubaki, Azusa and Subaru had stayed up drinking to celebrate as I went to bed.
"What do you think of her? Do you like her, Subaru?" I heard Tsubaki ask.
"I thinks she's an annoyance." I was hurt, but I couldn't stop listening. "Ever since she came I can't train with my shirt off. It's a pain." I was upset at his words.
"Well sorry to be such a pain. Dick." I shouted over the balcony before I could stop myself. I ran to my room before I dropped to my knees and sobbed. Damn it, why was I so weak?
"I didn't mean it." I stood up and turned around when I heard Subaru's voice. I stepped closer to him.
"Even if you didn't mean it, it still hurt a lot." I said.
"I'm sorry. You were never a pain. You have to believe me."
I opened my eyes and saw I was on the floor with Subaru struggling to hold himself up. His breath smelt of alcohol. He passed out with his lips touching mine.
"What's going on here?" Tsubaki asked as he and Azusa pulled Subaru off me.
"He accidentally tripped and passed out." I explained.
"I see. Look, forget what Subaru said earlier. He didn't mean it. He only said it because I was teasing him."
I nodded and left the twins to do what they wanted to Subaru.
I had been at this home for a few days and it was already so eventful.
