Sakamaki Sister
Just an ordinary day in the Sakamaki mansion; all the brothers and Yui Komori are minding their own businesses. Shu; the oldest, is sleeping somewhere, listening to his music. Reiji; second oldest, is in his room, reading a book while having a nice cup of tea. Ayato; the oldest triplet, is currently bored out of his mind, and decides to go for a walk with Raito; the youngest triplet. Kanato; the middle triplet, is playing around with his dear Teddy. Subaru; the youngest only child, is also taking a small nap in his room. And finally, the only female – and food tank – in the whole mansion; Yui Komori, is doing her homework in her room.
This may seem like any other day to the Sakamaki brothers and Yui, but they never thought of something such as the following will happen.
As Ayato and Raito are passing the main gates, they see a small girl – no older than fifteen – a striking image of Subaru, which is very odd. They decide to think of her as a passerby, but she then calls out.
"Hey, is this the Sakamaki mansion?" her small voice echoes to their ears.
Raito then steps up to the gate and crouches eye level to the small girl.
"Why yes, it is. Something you need?" his voice playful as usual.
She then searches her pocket in a hurry, not wanting Raito to wait. A piece of paper is then handed to Raito, who skims through it. Ayato sighs and attempts to leave, but is stopped when he hears Raito gasp in total shock.
"What is it?" Ayato asks.
Without any hesitation, Raito opens the gate and carries the young girl bridal style, and then speed walks to the mansion.
"Hey, wait up! Don't leave Yours Truly behind!" Ayato chases Raito, really confused by Raito's sudden change of behavior.
Raito nearly slams the door open.
"SUBARU!" he shouts loudly, scaring the poor girl.
Instead of only Subaru, the whole household comes down to the lobby in a cluster of footsteps; very shocked and annoyed at Raito's outburst. The person who Raito called steps up front, a very obvious angry look on his slightly sleepy face.
"What's the meaning of this?" He almost shouts, pointing at the girl who Raito is still carrying.
"It's you who should be explaining" Raito retorts. "You never told us you had a younger sister" he continues.
Everyone stays silent, Subaru has a sister? There's a female Sakamaki? This information was never known, even by Shu, the one who always gets all the calls. They all stare at the girl whose still in Raito's arms, skeptically looking at her, unbelieving. Especially Subaru; his mother never told him about this, let alone his father. But Richter could've known about this, right?
"This can't be, I didn't know about this…" Reiji fixes his glasses, confused and slightly annoyed.
The small girl hops down from Raito and heads to Shu, giving him the letter.
"The oldest, am I correct?" she bluntly says, her soft blood red eyes staring at ocean blue ones.
Shu takes the letter in his hand, and reads aloud.
Dear, sons
Forgive me for not informing you all about this, but it seems like I have nearly forgotten about my one and only daughter, Aria. A picture of dear Christa brought my mind up to her, and remembered that Aria is in a hospital at that moment, due to her current condition; but she's alright now.
Anyways, I decided to send her to you all, and become one as a family again. Beatrix and Cordelia knew about this, but ignored her presence for their own needs. She became heavily ill during birth which caused Christa great worry, sure that she disliked her ways of giving birth, but her concern for the one and only daughter of the Sakamaki family brought her to come to some senses and cure her. She thought that Aria could bring change to our family, but I doubt that.
Take good care of your sister, especially you, Subaru. As her blood-related brother, I expect you to be kind to her mostly.
Farewell, sons
Father, Karl Heinz
Shu finishes reading, putting the letter back to Aria's hands. Yui seems a bit happy that there's another girl in the house, even though she's a vampire. Some seems to take interest too, like Raito and Kanato, new playmate. The only one who's pushed by this is Subaru; he clenches his fists, eyes downcast, and walks slowly to his room.
Aria eyes his older brother, wondering if there's something wrong with her presence. She was going to go after him, but is stopped by Raito pouncing on her.
"Welcome, dear sister!" he chirps, rubbing his cheek against Aria's, who seems totally annoyed.
"I'll be expecting good manners from you, young lady" Reiji says, smirking a little.
"And do everything that Yours Truly says, got that?" Ayato continues the supposed-to-be-done sentence by Reiji.
Shu nods, accepting her, but is too sleepy to say it.
Kanato eyes Aria, a small sadistic smile upon his lips
And Yui hiding her happiness, but is still seen smiling widely.
Aria is happy that she is welcomed in the family, but the mere thought of Subaru's ashen expression drills to her senses, making her not totally happy of her position. She then notices that Raito has let go of her and is now giggling to himself, Shu and Reiji has left along with Ayato, Kanato is back on the sofa and playing with Teddy, and Yui is eyeing her curiously.
Yui's stare has caught Aria's attention; she then turns her head to Yui. Her eyes soft and solid at the same time, her skin pale like the others, almost shining long white hair, small body, and a sweet smile that may be a devil's mask.
"You have been with them for quite some time, I recon. Mind telling me more about the brothers I've met only just now?" her speech polite; like Reiji's, but not a single hidden meaning, threat, or insult found.
Yui nods, and motions her to come to her room for more private talk. Aria meekly follows Yui up the stairs and to her room. Yui opens the door and lets Aria go in first, she does and sits on the soft silk bed, admiring the tidiness of this room.
"Now then, where would you like to start?" Yui sits next to Aria, making the bed slightly bounce.
"I guess starting from to oldest to youngest will suffice" Aria nods slightly.
Yui takes a small breath in and out, then starts
"Shu's the laziest out of all, but he can be nice sometimes, if you know what situation you're in. Reiji on the other hand is the one who takes all responsibilities in hand; he dislikes bad manners, and will give punishments to those who disobey the rules. Ayato is a bit full of himself; he's confident but can be reckless and annoying. Kanato isn't as innocent as he seems, he's really scary sometimes, but he can also be quite childish. Raito's just a huge pervert, that's all I gotta say to be honest. And finally there's Subaru, he's a bit lonely I guess, he got mad at me for some reason on my first day here and broke a wall, also my phone…" Yui stares down at the floor, remembering that day when her dear phone was crushed by a mere hand.
Aria stays silent for a bit to process all that information from Yui; who's still staring at the floor.
"Wait, how do you know which is which?" Yui asks, lifting her once sorrow eyes.
"Father gave me their names and pictures a while back, and it wasn't all that difficult to distinguish them either" Aria gives a small smile at Yui.
Aria nods and then gets off the bed, heading for the door. She opens it and walks outside to the halls, her small feet making tiny clicking sounds. The hallway is simple but also detailed in a way, a vase of roses here and there, the line of chandeliers on the ceiling, the dark red carpet, and the many candles lighting the way. This feels like home for Aria, even better than the friendly hospital that she was in; it was too friendly there. Aria is more of a solitude person, constantly wanting to be left on her own to wonder about her own life without someone asking nearly every second. And this is perfect; this gigantic mansion only consists of six of her brothers, a butler, and a girl – two since she came here. The amount of residents and the size of the mansion is just perfect for her, the lush yet dark back and front gardens, the calming atmosphere of the gothic themed rooms, and the faint scent of roses; just perfect.
Aria makes her way back to the lobby, eyeing the 3 way intersection curiously. She just came down from the second floor, now it to pick left or right. From stair view, she turns to the left, where she spies a hint of blonde hair on a sofa; suspected as the lazy Shu.
