A/N :
So here it is~! My OC story! I've had this idea for such a long time, since I do have OCs all around fandoms I like. But I'm just too lazy to type the story. But somehow I feel like I HAVE to type this, so my other K fictions (if I post any) won't make people confused! There is some OCs here, and 2 of them are in my profile already.
This is still prologue. I will have 3-4 chapters of prologue, and after I post all of them, I will mark this story as complete. Why? Because I have 2 storylines in mind. So after I finished the prologue, I will post 2 more stories about 'Seven Color of Life' with different lines. Which one I'll post first will be based from reader's votes!
Let's go!

"Darlings, meet our new neighbor, Suoh Family."
I glanced at Mama, not quite understand what she was saying. Mama was holding my hand and my twin's hand, while Papa held my brothers' hands. We were standing in front of another family, which consisted of parents and a boy. The boy had red fiery hair and his eyes were golden. What I didn't understand, was why we had to meet new neighbors? Our old one was nice enough, right? But nevertheless, I smiled.
"Nice to meet you! I'm Rihito Aori, this is my younger twin sister Auri, that is my older twin brother Aoru, and that is my younger brother Tadase! I, Auri, and Aoru are 3, and 'Dase-chan is still 1!" I said with my childish voice. I was just 3 years old after all. Aoru had golden hair and crystal blue eyes like mine, while Auri had golden hair and pink eyes. Tadase had golden hair and pink eyes like Auri.
"Oh, such a cute child you have, Takara!" The woman beamed at my Mama. "Nice to meet you too, cutie. My name is Suoh Setsuna, you can call me Aunt Setsu! This is my husband, Suoh Anzen, you can call him Uncle Zen!" She said.
Being the eldest girl on family, I had to be brave. My elder twin brother was a shy person, and he hated to be confronted by strangers so suddenly. So it was my task to introduce my siblings. Mama always told me that she was proud of me because I was brave. Not that she disliked Aoru, but I thought Mama needed to give Aoru more love..
"Mikoto, greet them!"
"..Hn."
I stared at the boy. He seemed bored and didn't care about our introductions at all. "I'm sorry about him. This is my son, Suoh Mikoto. He's 5 years old. Mikoto never got interested in things, so honestly I'm worried about him." Aunt Setsu sighed. And then, she talked a lot with Mama, while Uncle Zen talked with Papa. They told us (except for Tadase) to go play with Mikoto, so we entered Mikoto's house.
"Ne, Mikoto-kun?" I called him as I held Auri's hand. Aoru was hiding behind me.
"What is it?" He answered lazily.
"I'm sorry if we're bothering you, coming here so suddenly.." I apologized.
He stared at me, confusion obvious in his eyes. "Bothering?"
"I mean, that's why you look so bored and upset, right..?"
After a few moment of silent, he laughed. "Mikoto-kun..?" I asked, tilting my head.
"You guys don't bother me at all. I'm used to use this expression."
Hearing that, Aoru stepped forward. "Um.. Suoh Mikoto, right?"
"Yeah."
"I-I'm Rihito Aoru, nice to meet you!" Aoru bowed.
"I'm Rihito Auri, nice to meet you!" Auri followed suit.
Looking at them, I and Mikoto raised an eyebrow, confused. But then, I laughed and followed my twins. "I'm Rihito Aori, nice to meet you!" I said, bowing.
"Whoa, you don't have to be so formal."
We all laughed together. After that, we played. We became best friends in such a short time. Since then, we played together every day. Even after we went to school, we still became best friends. I was glad that I met him, Mikoto was such a good person!

4 years had passed. We were 7 years old, while Mikoto was 9 years old. Tadase was 5 years old. We were having the time of our lives. The five of us was inseparable, and Mikoto was like our own Big Brother. One day, when we got home from our school, I and my siblings were shocked.
How could we not be?
We found Mama and Papa's bodies. On the floor. In the middle of blood pool.
"M-MAMA! PAPA!"
Auri and Tadase were quick to run to Mama and Papa. I and Aoru stood on the door, we couldn't move. Aunt Setsu, who brought us back from our school, screamed. Mikoto was stunned too. But I couldn't hear a single thing after Auri and Tadase shouted. It was like my hearings got numb.
I didn't really remember what happened. It seemed like Mama and Papa was killed by some people who wanted us. Aoru, me, and Auri. They knew that Auri had special powers, even though she never showed it. Those people wanted Auri for their power, but they wanted me and Aoru to see if we had the same power. Since we are twins. And yes, we do have powers. Auri was what weird people called 'strain'. I and Aoru weren't strains, but our powers came from Auri. Mama and Papa refused to tell them about us, so they got killed.
While I and Aoru didn't say much, Auri and Tadase cried badly. Aunt Setsu and Uncle Zen used their all to comfort us. They did make Auri, Tadase, and Aoru calmed down. But not for me. I refused to say a single thing. For a few days, we lived in Suoh Family's house. But I didn't say a thing, unlike my siblings.
"Aori."
I looked up to find Mikoto looking at me. I didn't reply, however. He knelt in front of me and took my hair into his hand. He didn't pull it, only grabbing it. "Get out from that daze. Cry if you want, scream if you want. Just don't cocoon yourself in that stupid mask of yours."
He said it in a cold manner, but I couldn't help but crying. Tears started to flow from my eyes. "What do you want right now?" Mikoto asked me.
"I.. I want Mama and Papa.." I sobbed.
Mikoto patted my head as he hugged me, and I cried loudly, screaming for my parents. Little did I know, Aunt Setsu and Aoru were peeping that time.
After a week, our relatives came for us.
"Alright then, Tadase, we're here to take you to our house." Our far relative, Aunt Hotori Mizue, said sweetly to Tadase. I knew this would happen. Our families would take us away, parting us. All because they couldn't house 4 kids at the same time.
"No! I don't want to go without Ao-nee, Ao-nii, and Au-nee!" Tadase said as he hid behind Aoru.
"Come on, Tadase. You have to go with us, and your brother and sisters will go with other aunts or uncles, and I'll make sure you can live happily." Aunt Mizue tried to persuade Tadase.
"I don't want to!"
"Tadase, your parents wants you to go with us, so come on." Aunt Mizue's husband, Uncle Hotori Yui, said softly.
Tadase was at the verge of crying. Auri and Aoru said nothing, they seemed to know that this was going to happen too. So I approached Tadase and knelt in front of him. "Tadase, you have to go with Aunt Mizue and Uncle Yui."
"A-Ao-nee?"
"Don't worry, we still can see each other. It's just, we're going to live in different house. It won't be bad, and Mama and Papa will always be with you even though we don't see them." I patted his golden hair softly. I was lying. We wouldn't see each other soon. I knew that. Tadase was going to live in Seiyo City, far away from here.
"B-But.."
"Ssh.. It's going to be fine, okay?" I forced a smile. Luckily, Tadase didn't realize that my smile was a fake smile. So he nodded, although he didn't seem to be happy.
"Goodbye, Onee-chan, Onii-chan.." He said softly, waving at us as the car that contained him left.
I felt like crying. My little brother already left me. And then, our grandparents came. "Obaa-chan, Ojii-chan." We bowed immediately.
"It's been a long time, you three." Grandma said. We only nodded.
"We're here to take Auri." Grandpa said to Aunt Setsu. Aunt Setsu nodded solemnly. Mikoto was standing beside her, his face emotionless. Though I knew that he was actually sad about parting with us. Uncle Zen was the same. All this time we had been together, I thought Uncle Zen already saw us as his own children.
Auri looked at our grandparents, and they she ran towards me and Aoru and she hugged us. "I will miss you two.." She whispered.
"We will miss you too, Auri.." I whispered back.
"But we are twins; we have connections other people don't have. So don't worry." Aoru smiled a little. Aoru was talking about Auri's power and some of the power she bestowed upon us. Telepathy.
Auri nodded and let go of us. She smiled, though there were tears on her eyes. I and Aoru reached up and wiped her tears. She was the crybaby out of us three.
"Auri, here, for you." I unclipped my blue sakura hairclip and gave it to her. It was my precious thing, the last item Mama bought for me before she died. Auri accepted it, and she gave me her matching hairclip. Only hers was pink, while mine was blue.
"Goodbye, Aoru, Aori. Until we meet again." Auri said to us as she left with Grandma and Grandpa. Auri would live in Kyoto. That was even further than Seiyo.
It was only me and Aoru left. "Aoru-kun, Aori-chan." Aunt Setsu called us.
"What is it, Aunt Setsu?" We asked together.
"I know that this is hard for you four, and if you want to, you can stay with us."
We looked at each other, and then we shook our heads. "We don't want to be a burden to Aunt Setsu, Uncle Zen, and Mikoto anymore. Besides, our family wants us, because they are our family no matter how they act." We said together again.
Just then, other person came. It was our Uncle, our Mama's brother. Uncle Jin Habari. "Aoru, Aori!" He hugged us tightly. "Oh my goodness, I was so shocked when I hear Sister passed away.. I should have protect you all.." He said with regret in his voice.
"It's alright, Habari-Ji. It's not your fault at all." Aoru patted Uncle Habari's back. We knew Uncle Habari's job. It was to capture strains, such as Auri. But evil strains. He also protected good strains; that was why Uncle Habari felt so guilty about our parents. Yes, Uncle Habari knew about the fact that Auri was a strain.
"Habari-Ji, which one of us will go with you?" I asked.
Uncle Habari looked at us sadly. "It's Aoru."
"I see.." Aoru looked at me sadly. "Stay strong, Aori." He said bitterly. I nodded at him. We knew that Uncle Habari couldn't stay too long, so we were going to part right away. Before Aoru left, Mikoto grabbed his arm.
"Mikoto..?"
"You.. Don't you dare give up and forget us, got it?" Mikoto said with low voice to Aoru. Yeah, years together, Aoru and Mikoto became very close, since they were boys. Aoru nodded at him and smiled, and then they had manly hug. And after that, Aoru left with Uncle Habari. Aoru was going to live in the center of Shizume City.
Now all left was me. And I already had a feeling of who would take me. It must be our other Uncle, Koku-Ji. "Oi, Aori.." Mikoto called my name.
"What is it?"
"Do you really have to go?"
I looked at him and smiled. "You know I have to." I replied.
"You can stay with us."
"While my other siblings left? No."
Mikoto looked down. I approached him and patted his head, though it was hard for he was taller than me. "It's alright, we'll meet again. Maybe it's going to be years from now, but we will definitely meet again."
He sighed heavily and hugged me instead of answering. "I like you, you're like my own sister already." He said.
"Aw, I'm honored. You're like my big brother too, Miko-chan." I smiled, calling him with the nickname I made a few days after we first met. Usually Mikoto would get angry and hit my head for calling him that, but this time he didn't.
"Oh, are you here for Aori-chan?"
We turned our head when Aunt Setsu spoke up. There, I saw my other Uncle. 'It is Koku-Ji.' I thought. I was right, the one who would take me was my other Uncle. Uncle Kokujouji.
"Are you okay, Aori?" He asked me softly. I nodded at him. "Are you ready to go now?" I hesitated for a moment. I looked at Mikoto, Aunt Setsu, Uncle Zen, and at last Uncle Koku. I quickly ran towards Aunt Setsu and Uncle Zen, and I hugged them both.
"Thank you for taking care of me, Auri, Aoru, and Tadase all these years, Aunt Setsu, Uncle Zen." I said as I hugged them tightly.
I could feel Aunt Setsu's tears as she hugged me back, and Uncle Zen buried his head on my shoulder. "We will miss you and your siblings, Aori-chan.. All of you are very good kids, but you matured too early.."
"We will miss you too, Aunt Setsu."
After I let go of them, I approached Mikoto and kissed his left cheek. "Thanks to you too, Mikoto, for being our Big Brother for the past 4 years." I smiled at him. I may be only 7 years old, but I do know to thank people who had taken care of us. Mikoto nodded at me and messed my hair. And then, I ran towards Uncle Koku.
"Goodbye, Aunt Setsu, Uncle Zen, Mikoto! Until we meet again!" I said cheerfully, before I left with Uncle Koku. I glanced back, looking at the house I'd been staying at for 4 years with my parents and siblings, with Mikoto's family as our neighbor.
Good dreams would end when we wake up. Now I couldn't see my parents or my siblings anymore. At least, not until a few years. But I was sure we would meet again. But not for our parents. That day, I swore to myself, that if Uncle Habari couldn't find our parents' killer, then I will find them and get my own revenge. I would change the fate on the future, so no one would feel what I felt. So everyone I love would have a happy ending. All, except for myself.
To Be Continued
Yay! Chapter 1's done! I planned for 1000 words or so, but it ends up being 2301 words! But oh well~ Aori acted like a little adult, don't you think? I make it on purpose. When Aori was a child, she was the one who take care of her siblings, and her parents were proud of her. That's why Aori became such adult-like, because she wanted to make her parents even proud. But I think she matured a bit too much.
So, anyone notice the names of the Rihito Siblings' families?
Hotori Tadase, Hotori Mizue, and Hotori Yui © Peach-Pit
(I take them from Shugo Chara! Even though here, Tadase is a Rihito. I only borrowed his first name and appearance~)
The one who took Aoru is Jin Habari, the previous Blue King, before Munakata Reisi. And the one who took Aori is the Gold King, Daikaku Kokujouji. Why them? Because they're going to have important roles in this story! The story focused on Aori, sometimes Aoru. Auri and Tadase will not be shown often.
Tadase's life, however, will be the same as Hotori Tadase's life in anime Shugo Chara!, since in this story, Rihito Tadase get adopted by Hotori Yui-Mizue and his name changed into Hotori Tadase as they live in Seiyo City. Why I make it like this? Because, well.. I always think that Tadase does not look similar to Yui and Mizue, so maybe he's adopted or something.. But most anime characters don't looks like their parents. So oh well.
As for Mikoto's parents, yes, I used the name 'Setsuna' and 'Anzen'. They do have meanings. Setsuna (taken from Taisetsuna) means Important, and Anzen means Safe. If combined, it will become Taisetsuna no Anzen which means Safety of the Important One. Nice name right? XD
This story has mixed timeline, so I'm sorry if it confused you. Jin Habari is still alive here, though he's going to die soon because of Genji Kagutsu, Red King before Mikoto. Uh oh, what would happen to Aoru then? Find out at the chapter soon!
