DA Family

Normal P.O.V.

"Hayate, get up already!" Rei shouted in frustration as he kicked the bed, making his fourth eldest son fall out of bed and hit the floor with a 'thump'. Hayate rubbed his sour butt and then looked up into his angry father's eyes. "This is the fourth freaking time I had to come into your room to wake you up! Hurry up; otherwise you're going to be late for school!"

"Oh come on dad, it's like what they say! Fourth time's the charm, like how I was born!" Hayate said with an innocent smile. Rei lifted his spatula in the air in a menacing way, like he was about to beat up his son, which gave Hayate enough reason to race to the bathroom to quickly get ready and away from his father. Rei sighed as he went back to the kitchen to make breakfast.

Rei Serio, single father to seven kids. Rei was a tall guy who didn't look a day over twenty-five, but still had to take care of seven butts around the house. The worst part? They all had Alice powers. Imagine living in a house with seven kids, one father and the chaos that came with super power wielding kids. Rei had the Death Alice, in which one touch from him could kill anyone. Ever since he was young, he was scared to touch anyone, but that got settled ever since he started wearing gloves and Alice controllers… A lot of Alice controllers. Then he got married, had seven kids and his wife dies leaving him with them. He remembered when he first got kids and was scared to touch them, if he would somehow kill a small living being that he made with the help of his loving wife, but he got over it quickly after the first three kids.

Why did it take three kids for him to get over it? Well, you'll find that out momentarily.

"Ah! I smell something wonderful! I'm guessing breakfast is almost ready?" Rui asked. Rui was Rei's first child and seventeen years old. He was a twelfth grader on his last year of high school before he could start college. Rui was a tall boy with shoulder length blonde hair, pale skin and an impeccable sense of fashion while being the top in his drama class and club. He was a good student with straight A's but… he acted somewhat gay, which sort of worries Rei.

"Yes so-!" Rei was cut off as Rui gracefully took a seat and looked at his face through a compact mirror.

"Don't worry; I made sure everyone else was up and getting ready. Just worry about breakfast for now," Rui confirmed as he closed his compact mirror and smiled at his father. Rei eye twitched a bit but shook it off and went back to flipping pancakes.

"Oh gosh!" Rui shouted out and Rei didn't even flinch, knowing what happened already before even turning around. "Hajime, you scared the day-lights out of me! Stop creeping up on me every morning!" Rui scolded. Rei turned and winced. Hajime, his second son, is why Rei was scared of touching his kids when they were younger.

Hajime was a tall boy, a year younger then Rui and in eleventh grade. He has black hair with the bangs longer in front of his face then the back, piercing black eyes having the Insect Alice, and bandages wrapped around most of his body. The bandages were, unfortunately, Rei's fault. When Rui was born Rei was extra careful, but then after a while he thought he finally got the hang of taking care of kids. When Hajime was born, Rei became a little careless and well… an accident happen. Hajime is a mostly quiet kid who doesn't like outshining others and would rather stay in the background then up in front, contradicting to Rui's personality, yet somehow they were like best friends. Ever since the accident, Rei was scared to touch Hajime, so he made as less interaction physical contact with him as much as possible. Frankly, Rei doesn't even know much of Hajime, which he feels uneasy about but still doesn't know what to do about it.

"I hope breakfast is ready," Tsubasa said with a smile as he came down the steps with a smile on his face. Tsubasa was the third born and fifteen years old in tenth grade, having the Shadow Alice. He was tall with blue spiked hair, matching blue eyes, a pale complexion and a sapphire star tattoo under his left eye. Tsubasa got that tattoo in his rebellious ages, but after Rui was done with him, he completely converted to the right path. Tsubasa was now captain of the soccer club, straight A's student and was even in a long lasting relationship with his childhood friend Misaki Harada. He has a great personality and he's a role model to most kids now, so you could call him the shining son.

"Tsubasa-Kun~! Sit next to your big brother~!" Rui suggested happily as Tsubasa shivered and decided to sit on the other side of the table instead. Rui has a somewhat extreme brother complex with Tsubasa, which is another thing that worries Rei. When Rui found out about Tsubasa's rebellious nature, he went into full throttle action on Tsubasa. Rei doesn't know exactly what Rui did, but all he knows is that Tsubasa got out of his rebellious actions almost immediately and onto the right path afterwards. Some things are better left unsaid, you could say.

"Food! I smell you! I'm starved, how much longer?" Hayate shouted out excitedly, running to the stairs while putting his pants on, tripped and then ended up rolling down the stairs. Everyone sighed and rolled their eyes. Tsubasa might have been born the shining son, but after him was just the dunce then. God probably thought he was getting too many outstanding beings as children that he had to add an idiot in there somewhere. Hayate is fifteen and somehow Tsubasa's fraternal younger twin brother and I guess the idiot of the family. He was the same height as Tsubasa with short messy brown hair and brown eyes, with the Wind Alice. He's a certified idiot who likes skipping classes and instead of clubs, he does afterschool tutoring. He's an otaku as well. Hayate got up and stumbled to his own seat on the table. "I'm ok, thanks for asking…"

"We weren't planning to…" Hajime mumbled as Hayate shrugged and then took his own seat. Rui patted his head with an encouraging smile and then went back to filing his nails. Rui took the position of being the mother of the house ever since their real mother died and since he was the oldest.

"Fwood~!" Youichi said dully in his baby voice as Natsume helped him walk down the stairs without falling and Nobara was close behind, not in any rush down the stairs. Natsume and Nobara were twins, fraternal of course, both twelve and in seventh grade. Natsume has raven spiked hair and red eyes. Besides his eyes, he was the son everyone would call 'Like father like son'. He was a special star student, like Tsubasa, with straight A's, but also the somewhat delinquent. He skips classes, disobeys school rules and does whatever he wants. Tsubasa tries to bond with him since he thinks he understands his little brother, but Natsume just threatens him with his Fire Alice, since Tsubasa just seems to piss him off even more. Natsume is looked up by most of his peers, with many fan girls and also has been in a steady – mostly roller coaster – relationship with his all time lover Mikan Yukihara.

Nobara on the other hand has long curly black hair and blue-black eyes. Her Alice is Ice, and she's mostly known as the Ice Princess in her school. She's Rei's only daughter, and the term 'daddy's little girl' applies to this duo. You'd think Nobara would be a tomboy and outgoing and free spirited and manly since she grew up in a household full of men, right? Wrong, she's the exact opposite. She's shy, timid, unstable, nervous more than half the time and everything else that implied to the shy category. You could say she's the exact opposite of her twin Natsume, who is always cool and confident in himself. I guess that's why they don't get along so well, mostly on Natsume's part anyways. However, Rei is completely protective over his little girl. He loves her as much as any father could love a daughter, times that by twenty.

Then last but not least, Youichi, three years old and the youngest of all seven of them. He's small with silver hair and grey eyes, with a Ghost Summoning Alice. Natsume might look like an unemotional guy, but he loves and cares about his little brother a lot. Youichi looks up to Natsume as a role model. It was hard for Rei to take care of Youichi at first, since shortly after Youichi was born, his wife died. So mostly all the other kids pitched in to take care of Youichi. A little while after, Rei got out of the mourning stage after a precious one's death, and finally started taking care of Youichi… but that proved harder then he though. Going to work with a crying little baby in your arms wasn't really professional. And with the image Rei had at work, it proved more embarrassing. Thankfully, Youichi starts school this year, so that will be less of a hassle for Rei.

"Breakfast is ready…" Rei announces as Natsume helped Youichi into his highchair while everyone else is digging for a plate full of one or the other of the delicious food laid out in front of them.

"Scrumptious, as always…" Rui moaned out after taking his first bite.

"Today is the first day of school, what are your plans for this year?" Rei asked, taking a seat and assuming his role as the head honcho super cool and concerned parent, like he thinks he is.

"I'm going to shine on stage!" Rui said victoriously with determination, stars already in his eyes by the mere thought of it. Hajime just shrugged shortly and easily, before going back to picking at his food.

"It is soccer season, so I'm hoping to bring home a trophy!" Tsubasa said excitedly with his trademark charming smile. Hayate flung a green pea with his fork across the table, making it land on Youichi's plate and in turn making the three year old giggle.

"Hayate…" Rei said in a warning tone as the said boy pouted.

"Nothing much just… going to try and get through school…" Hayate said uncertainly while scratching the back of his head.

"Does that include your plans on backing up the school's pipes and making all the crap from the waste pipes come out into the pool of the school?" Tsubasa asked with a roll of his eyes as Hayate looked bewildered at him.

"How did you know?" Hayate asked in amazement.

"You're as transparent as a book, little Hayate…" Rui said adoringly with a smile.

"And you wouldn't shut up about it last night since you were so excited about it; I had to put on headphones just to block out your stupidity…" Tsubasa commented.

"Damn!" Hayate shouted out dejectedly and then hung his head low. Rei shook his head and directed his attention to his other kids.

"Hn…" Natsume replied nonchalantly and went back to finishing his food up.

"I-I'll try my best… with whatever I can…" Nobara stuttered out as Rei patted her head with an encouraging smile. She smiled back up at him and went back to eating.

"What about you, You-Chan? What are you going to do today? Are you going to bring honor and success to the Serio name? Are you? Are you?" Rui asked Youichi in a baby tone while making funny faces and inserting funny noises, with tickles, whenever possible. Youichi giggled and squirmed in his seat as a response making Rei crack a smile.

"Ah! Hajime-nii! Your bugs are swarming over my food!" Tsubasa shouted, trying to swat the insects away.

"Your point?" Hajime replied.

"Mommy!" Youichi shouted out and Rei's eye twitched. For some reason, he started calling Rei his 'mommy' instead of his 'daddy'. He thinks one of the kids made a joke about it and it somehow got stuck in Youichi's head. And the worst part is that while he calls Rei his mommy, he calls Rui his daddy.

'Of all the…' Rei thought with a sigh as he looked tiredly at his youngest son.

"Bubble!" Youichi shouted, pointing to the air. Rei saw nothing and quirked a brow at his son. Youichi closed his eyes tightly, using his Alice most definitely, and a white sparkling ball appeared. Hayate jumped and released a gust of hurricane wind in his startle, wrecking the entire room in the process. The food was all over the place, the furniture got disordered and the room that was already previously messed up with all of the family member's belongings looked even more messed up. Rei's eye twitched as everyone was silent in the room.

"Look! A penny!" Hayate shouted and was about to reach for the penny on the floor while Rei was about to strangle the boy until Tsubasa cast his shadow over both Hayate and Rei to stop them in mid action.

"Stop!" Tsubasa shouted. "Everyone just calm down for a minute…"

"Fwire!" Youichi shouted on the side as everyone turned their heads to the side to see Natsume was playing absentmindedly with a fire ball in his hand while texting in the other, not knowing that some of the flames caught on the curtain next to him.

"Damn it, Nobara, do something!" Rei instructed angrily making Nobara panic, and in that panic moment, froze over the whole room. Again, everything was silent.

"… I-I-I-I-I-I-I'm s-s-s-s-s-s-sorry…" Nobara stuttered out as Natsume glared at her and then melted the whole room's frost cover in one blow.

"You're so useless…" Natsume commented, making the girl shake and tears built up in her eyes.

"I-I'm s-sorry f-f-for b-being u-u-u-u-…" Nobara couldn't even get the word out as tears dripped out of her eyes. Tsubasa released Rei out of the shadow bind – but not Hayate – to allow Rei to walk over to her. She closed her eyes sadly, expecting to get a lecture of trying not to be a disgrace to him, but Rei just hugged her and patted the top of her head.

"Bumble bee!" Youichi shouted out dully. Hayate and Rui screeched at the same time in a girlie tone and started running around in a panicked frenzy. Hajime sighed as he cupped the bumble bee gently in his hand and then released it to fly away out the window.

"Nii-Chan!" Youichi shouted, holding his arms out so that Natsume could carry him, in which the latter party obliged and picked him up.

"You do know we're almost late for school… right…?" Natsume commented as Rei looked confusedly at him. Rei glanced at the clock and saw that it was a few minutes before eight and then gave out a short frustrated shout.

"Everyone get your butts in the car this instant!" Rei barked as Natsume grabbed both his and Youichi's bags and ran out with the child, followed by Nobara with her bag with her head low so her hair could hide her face, followed by Tsubasa grabbing his school and duffel bag, with Hayate holding nothing and simply running out, then Rui skipping-running out with his purse and then finally Hajime slowly striding out the door with his bag. Rei got his bag, his wallet and keys and then dashed out.

How he survives with this type of family is beyond him, and even though he loves his kids more than anything in the world no matter their peculiar ways and differences, he really needs a break from all this chaos…
