WOOHOO! I can write it!

As I'd said in my A/N of Epi8 part1 of Vertrauen, I would be making seven, separate stories detailing important/key times in each of the sisters' lives before Rozen Sisters. Think of it as seven prequels. They won't really be in the order of each sister, more in whatever order I choose. This story's chapters will be known as 'Events'. This is Event One.

First, since I love them so much, I'll be doing the twins. Enjoy this first chapter, about the two-year-old twins first meeting with a six-year-old Suigintou and a five-year-old Kanaria. ^_^

The Life of a Rozen Sister

Suiseiseki and Souseiseki Rozen

Event One: First meeting

Little Kanaria sighed. Her older sister, Suigintou, just ignored her.

"Why did Mama have to move to Germany, kashira?" The little girl whined. Suigintou shrugged.

"The question is, why did Father have to promise to go see her every two years? And the other question is why you still say that word and when you started saying it? It's annoying." Kanaria ignored the last part and asked, "When did he promise that?"

"When you were only three. Probably can't remember. I do though." Kana just stared at the silver-haired child, confused. Suigintou just ignored her, as usual, and focused on the TV, which was playing an episode of the Teletubbies. She didn't even like it, but she was bored, and would do anything when she was bored. Kanaria shrugged, knowing that Suigintou wouldn't talk again for a while. She turned to the TV and started watching as well. Just as Po had found her scooter again, the maid looking after them in Father's absence opened the living room door and said, "Ms. Suigintou, Ms. Kanaria, your Father has returned." Kanaria gasped. She jumped off the couch and ran out, cheering. Suigintou sighed, and followed her little sister.

"Gin-chan, Kana-chan!" The little grey-green haired tot jumped up into the man's arms, screaming, "Papa!" Suigintou walked up to the man and stood a little away while Kanaria embraced the man. When he put the girl down, he turned to Suigintou, who gave a small bow and said quietly, "Father, it is good to see you again." He smiled, and scooped the little girl up in a large embrace, surprising the silver-haired Suigintou.

"Why so formal Gin-chan?" He laughed. Father put a waving finger in front of the girl. She shed away from it, only to burst into fits of laughter when the finger made contact with her stomach. She jumped out of his arms and coughed, recomposing herself. She turned back to the man and rolled her eyes as Kanaria bounced into place beside her. She looked up at the man, only for something crouched by his leg to catch her attention. The something shuffled, and a scared whimpering came from his other.

"Father, who are they, kashira?" Kanaria asked, indicating to the figures behind Father's legs. They both peaked out from behind the man's legs, revealing one green eye each. It seemed normal, until the rest of one of the heads poked out further, showing her right eye to be red. The tiny brunette frowned, and stuck her tongue out at the two kids. The man bent down net to the tot and told her, "Now now, Suiseiseki, don't be mean." Suiseiseki pouted, and the other little girl, like a reflection of her, except for her shorter, more reddish-brown hair, scurried over behind her.

"Suigintou, Kanaria, meet the twins; Suiseiseki and Souseiseki," Father said, bending down behind the two and pushing them toward the twins. Suiseiseki gave them both a hostile look while little Souseiseki just cowered behind her sister. Suigintou motioned to the man that she wished to talk off in the kitchen, so they left Kanaria alone with the new arrivals. She was nervous, to say the least.

"So...did Father tell you about me and Suigintou, kashira?" she asked. The brunette only nodded, still hostile. Kana gulped.

"U-um, I-I'll be right back. I'm going t-to get so-something to d-drink, kashira. J-Just go into th-the living r-room a-and watch T-TV." Suiseiseki nodded slowly, and started to lead her twin toward the door Kanaria had pointed out. The little girl ran into the kitchen, ignoring the two whose attention she'd just grabbed. She hurriedly grabbed a brown paper bag and started breathing panicky into it. Father walked over to her, leaving behind the annoyed, pouting Suigintou.

"What's wrong, Kana-chan?" Kana dropped the bag and said, panicked, "I was scared, kashira! That Suiseiseki just stared at me! And it wasn't a nice stare! And that Souseiseki didn't say anything, kashira! What was I supposed to do?" Father's eyes widened in panic.

"Where are they now?"

"In the living room. I told them to go in there while I got a drink, kashira. But..." Kana frowned, and tears came to her eyes. Father turned to Suigintou and told her, "I'll get back to your problem later, Gin-chan. Right now though, I need to go talk to the twins." Suigintou opened her mouth to argue, but the man was out of the room before she had the chance.

"Um?" She turned to Kanaria, who was looking nervous again.

"Can you please get me some juice, kashira?"

The man pushed open the living room to find the twins watching a puppet show. The door creaked, causing Souseiseki, who was sitting closest to the door, to jump off the couch and climb next to Suiseiseki on the other side.

"Don't worry, it's just me," the man reassured the girl. The red-brunette relaxed, but didn't move back. Suiseiseki looked up at the man, worried and nervous.

"Father, why are we here, desu?" She asked. Her little sister looked up as well.

"Yeah. Why did we have to go away from mother?" The man smiled a sad smile.

"Well, your mother has to stay in Germany, and I could never take Suigintou and Kanaria away from here. This is their home."

"But this isn't our home, desu!" Suiseiseki shouted.

"And besides, those two don't even like us," she continued. Father sighed as Souseiseki started nodding small little nods in agreement.

"Listen," the man said, taking the two onto his lap, "it doesn't matter what they think. But it matters what I think. And I want you two to stay here. And this is your home now. You'll grow to love it," he told them. The youngest twin looked up at him with uncertainty and worry in her green/red eyes.

"Promise?" She asked. Father smiled and gave the two a hug.

"I promise."

I know this first chapter doesn't focus too much on the twins, but the next ones will. And I know that Souseiseki isn't normally like this. But I've got somethin' up ma sleeve for next time. Till next time! ^_^
