Rewrite of an older story: I figured this one could use more than 1 anime. So…like this original (which only has 3 chapters) is about a bunch of teenagers who witnessed a bunch of crimes…which are found to be connected. Seeing as there are a group of people connected in this issue, police decided to move all of the families to a new town in a different part of the country and they could privately discuss what they saw and what they're feelings are towards it and how it's effecting them in therapy three times a week. Most of them go to a regular school where they mustn't say anything about what happened. Strong bonds are created, as are relationships. Please Review.

Kish & Kari:
Kish and his twin sister Kari lived a peaceful life with their grandparents, Nanny and Toshi in England after their father killed their mother and was thrown in jail.
The two of them have been living with their grandparents for the last five years since their father got drunk and killed their mother because she "forgot" to do some of the housework; in reality Kari was very ill and needed a lot of attention at the time and didn't have the time to get everything done. It didn't even matter that Kish was helping as much as he could, but that didn't matter; in fact it only made their dad even angrier, because men shouldn't be doing any domestic stuff. So when got home to a "messy" house he became enraged and shot their mother and was going to go after Kari, but Kish being the brother he was protected her and got shot in the arm.
Needless to say police were called after a neighbor complained and their father was taken to jail, later apologizing and regretting everything, and Kish was taken to the hospital, where he made a quick recovery.
That happened when they were ten and Kari took it really hard and blames herself and it only made Kish become a very protective brother.
The two of them are currently single and have no interest in dating; Kari had a boyfriend at one point, but they broke up after he hurt her and Kish beat the crap out of the dude. Kish also had a girlfriend, but broke up with because she was insanely jealous of Kari and was always saying crap.
They are fraternal twins, meaning they do not look alike; Kish has shoulder length forest green hair and ember eyes, while Kari has brown hair with an orange hint to it down to her upper back and emerald green eyes.
Both of them are currently fifteen and have jobs so that they can help out their grandparents for all that they've done for them. However, a few days ago they had to quit their jobs and move to Japan.
About a week ago the two of them witnessed the murder of a very wealthy and important couple in the little town that they lived in.
Flashback:
Kish and Kari were just walking out of a store after buying some groceries for the house when they heard a woman screaming and a man yelling obscenities.
After a minute or two Kish and Kari went to investigate what they had heard; Kish was curious as to what was going on and Kari just stuck with her brother.
Kari did her best to keep up with Kish as was right behind him when he stopped.
"Kish, what's going on?" Kari asked and then saw what Kish was looking at.
Kish just stood there looking at the scene in front of him shocked, before coming to his senses and to get him and his sister out of there.
"Kish?" Kari asked scared.
"Shhh, its ok Kari. Just be quiet and back up slowly; we'll go get the police." Kish said as he grabbed the groceries that he was carrying.
Everything was going well until Kari tripped over a raised part of the sidewalk and fell backwards, dropping everything she had. That's when they heard the gunshot and the couple who were begging for their lives earlier went silent; they were dead, bullets in their head.
The man who had committed the murder had seen Kari and started charging her and that's when Kish dropped his groceries and grabbed Kari's arm and started running; they had just barely made it to the police station.
Once they got there they explained everything that they had seen to the police, who went to investigate.
Not only did they find everything the teens said to be true, but the guy who did it was there trying to cover everything up. Needless to say he was arrested, but he warned them that he had friends who could take care of other business.
After everything the police took Kish and Kari home and had a long discussing with their grandparents; they explained that witness protection would be the best thing for them until they could find every last one of that guys men or whomever.
Everybody had agreed to go into witness protection for the twins' safety and agreed to move to Japan with a few other families who are just entering the program as well.
The chief of police had said that it would take awhile but he would enroll them in school and therapy and other things that they may need to be situated. The only thing that they weren't too thrilled with was that they would be living in one house with several other families.
End Flashback:
So there they were, with the other families, standing in front of this huge mansion like house, staring in awe at how big it was.
Ichigo, Rini & Ringo:
Ichigo, Rini and Ringo were sister, but not your typical sisters; they're actually cousins. You see when Ichigo was little and both Rini and Ringo were maybe a year and a half or two, Ichigo's and Rini's parents, Sakura and Shintaro took Ringo in, after there were personal issues going on with Ringo's parents; they couldn't keep her so Sakura and Shintaro took Ringo in.
Ichigo is fifteen with shoulder length red hair and brown eyes.
Rini is twelve with pink down to her mid back, but tied up in pigtails and red eyes.
Ringo is twelve with short reddish-orange hair and brown eyes.
Before witness protection they lived on the island of Hokkaido in Japan, but now they live in a different part of Japan far from Hokkaido.
They haven't exactly had a hard life, but they haven't had it easy either; their parents had great jobs, but they rarely ever see them. Neither of the girls really have any friends; Ichigo had one really good friend who didn't think she was overly weird and Ringo had no friends because she was considered to stuck up because she was shy. Rini did however have two really good friends that she was really close with…so she wasn't overly thrilled with being in witness protection and having to move and leave her friends behind.
Anyways, Ichigo's friend belongs to a high society and she and her family is the reason why they're going into witness protection.
Flashback:
"Ichigo, make sure you be polite and courteous while you're there!" Sakura called as Ichigo left to go spend the night at her friend's house.
"I will!" Ichigo called back waving goodbye for the night.
Ichigo had then got to her friend Shita's house after a fifteen minute bus ride, and upon arriving the butler opened the door to let her in.
Shita's family was one of the richest families in Japan and lived in a big mansion with two butlers, three maids, at least four chefs or cooks or bakers, whatever you want to call them.
"Ichigo you made it." A young girl with dark brown hair and golden eyes said calmly walking down the stairs.
"Of course I made it. You still want me here don't you?" Ichigo asked looking at her friend.
"Of course I do. I'm glad you could make it. Come on, I'll show you my room." Shita said taking Ichigo upstairs.
When they got to Shita's room, Ichigo couldn't believe how big it was; it was the biggest room she'd ever seen in her life; it was at least two and a half of her room in one.
So for the next few hours they talked and played games. Sometime in-between all the fun and games they ate dinner.
Finally it was time for bed; it was around one am when Ichigo and Shita heard screaming coming from down the hall and then gunshots fired.
"We need to hide." Shita said as she pushed Ichigo into her closet while she went to go hide under her bed, but it was too late; the person, hiding under a mask, came in and started throwing her around her room, before eventually stabbing her to death twenty eight times.
Ichigo would've been ok if she hadn't screamed in horror.
When the masked killer heard her, he yanked open the closet door and yanked Ichigo out by her arm, pulling it out of the socket. Said killer then started throwing Ichigo all over like he had done with Shita; he was about to stabbing her when cops came in and started shooting at the masked man.
Unfortunately the masked man got away before they could nab him, but before she was taken to the hospital she gave a detailed description of a tattoo that the man had on his neck.
After a few days in the hospital the FBI came to the family and explained that the man who killed her friend and her family is a very dangerous gang leader with members all over the world.
Because of the circumstances they would have to be put into witness protection with other families who have had run-ins with other gang members.
Ichigo and her family were not thrilled in having to go into witness protection, but understood for the safety of their family; so eventually they agreed.
End Flashback:
They were the first ones to arrive at the new place and Ichigo couldn't help but think how much it reminded her of Shita's place.
Soon after they arrived the rest of the families started showing up. The final family seemed to be a boy with green hair, what they assumed was his younger sister and who seemed to be their grandparents.
Ryou, Masaya & Keiichiro:
Ryou, Masaya and Keiichiro are a unique family; none of them biologically related. Ryou's parents, when Ryou was about five or six adopted Masaya when they found him on the streets begging for food; they had found out that he was left on the steps of a fire station in the middle of the night when he was a baby. Keiichiro came to them when he was about fourteen as an orphan, just to be an assistant to Ryou's father; he wasn't there for pity or anything, just a job and maybe a meal at night. He never expected them to adopt him a year later.
Keiichiro is twenty with long brown hair tied into a ponytail and brown eyes.
Ryou is fifteen with short blonde hair and cerulean blue eyes.
Masaya is also fifteen with short black hair and brown eyes.
Ryou, Keiichiro, Masaya and their family are from America.
Ryou's father is major in the area that they are in, being a very successful archeologist. As a successful archeologist, he is very good at digging things up and because of that a major gang came to him and demanded that he help them dig something up. When he declined the gang threatened his family, which by the way did not end well for the gang as a lot of them tried and failed.
Although they're not your typical family, they get along or don't get along like family; they defend one another and the fight like normal brothers do. Ryou and Masaya, they argue a lot, especially about stupid stuff and girls; half the time they don't like the girls the other one dates. Keiichiro is the calm and reasonable one; he tries to get along with everybody; sometimes that just doesn't work. Masaya feels that Keiichiro's always taking Ryou's side, while Ryou believes the opposite.
One day, while the professor and his wife were out on a site and grocery shopping Ryou and Masaya were fighting because they were both dumped by their girlfriends. Eventually they dragged Keiichiro into it because he came into the room and he just lost it.
Flashback:
"What did you do this time?!" Ryou shouted at Masaya when they got home.
"Me? What do you mean me? What did you do? Carrie broke up with me because of you!" Masaya yelled back.
"Oh really? I guess then we're even because Sasha broke up with me because of you and your slut of a girlfriend!" Ryou yelled.
"Carrie wasn't a slut! Not like Sasha who slept with every guy she sees! Oh look Keiichiro's here! i know he usually takes your side, but for once I bet he'll side with me!" Masaya yelled.
"Like hell he sides with me; he usually sides with you!" Ryou yelled as they glared at each other.
The fighting went on and on for what seemed like hours when it was only five minutes before Keiichiro intervened.
"That's enough now! I only take sides when needed and you both know that! Now when it comes to girls I try to stay out of it because I want you two to be happy! However, when it comes to Carrie and Sasha they were both major hoe bag, cum guzzling sluts! I'm surprised either of you don't have some sort of STDs! For crying out loud! You two have horrible tastes in women! When will you guys find a nice girl who ACTUALLY cares for you and not sex! Sex isn't everything!" Keiichiro yelled exasperated.
"Geez Keii, relax…I didn't know you felt that way about who we dated." Ryou said simply shocked at Keiichiro's outburst.
"Yeah, calm down. Who knew you cared so much about us." Masaya said simply, just as shocked as Ryou.
"Of course I care; you guys are my brothers, blood or not. Now if you excuse me I'm going to go lay down and relax, as you said." Keiichiro said going to his room.
"Oh…you got some dirty magazines in there?" Ryou asked mischievously.
"I bet he does…he says not everything is about sex, but even needs release." Masaya said with a devious grin.
"Geez guys! Knock it off! You know I'm going to take a nap." Keiichiro said turning red thinking about how they knew about his secret.
A few weeks later everything changed when one of the gang's leaders came and blew up the house with Ryou's parents still inside the house.
Because the gang or whatever you want to call it was after their family, Ryou, Keiichiro and Masaya must go into Witness protection. No ifs ands or buts as the detective said simply, saying they'd be moving to Japan and in a large house with other families also dealing with the same issues
End Flashback:
When they arrived there was another family already there and others soon followed suit.
Pie, Berry, Maya & Tart:
Pie, Berry, Maya and Tart were a somewhat normal family; a mom, a dad and siblings. Well that's how it used to be; a few years ago the parents became seriously ill and passed away. At that time Pie was seventeen and could take responsibility for his younger siblings.
Currently Pie is the oldest sibling at twenty, has purple hair and dull dark blue eyes. He rarely shows emotion except when it comes to his siblings and every now and then when he watches some criminal show. His father left when he found his wife to be cheating on him with Tart's father and blames Pie for not informing him.
Tart is the youngest sibling at fourteen, has light brown hair and orange eyes. He is pretty hyper and has been diagnosed with ADHD and is technically not allowed to have sugar or sweets, but he usually gets away with it. He is six years younger than Pie. He has the same mother as Pie, but not the same father; both his parents are dead.
Berry is one of the middle sibling at fifteen, has long blonde hair and dark brown, almost red eyes. She was adopted by Pie's and Tart's parents after they couldn't have any more children. She was adopted out of France when she was six. At that time Pie would've been eleven and Tart would've been five
Maya is the other middle sibling at sixteen; she has long dark navy blue hair and deep blue eyes. She was adopted by Pie's and Tart's parents a year after Berry was adopted after they couldn't have any more children. She was adopted out of Japan when she was seven. At the time Pie was twelve, Tart was six and Berry was seven.
Their parents loved all children equally. Although at first Pie and Tart wondered because their mother kept saying how much she really wanted a girl.
They, like Kish and Kari are from England; but none of them seem to know each other.
Now, their parents had gotten into some trouble…mainly because Pie's father was insanely angry when his wife cheated on him with Tart's father. And because of that anger joined the gang that is putting so many in witness protection.
As it was discovered Pie's father was poisoning their parents; after they were gone, a long while after they were gone, he'd start poisoning the kids.
Flashback:
It was a short time before they had to go into witness protection there was a knock on their do; Pie answered.
"Officer Kai? What's going on?" Pie asked looking at the cop at his door.
"Yes, is there somewhere private we could talk?" Officer Kai asked seriously looking at Pie.
"Yeah, anywhere works; Berry, Maya and Tart are out for the next hour or two." Pie said leading the officer to the living room.
"So, what's going on?" Pie asked again as they sat down.
"This is about your father." Officer Kai said simply.
"What about Deep Blue?" Pie asked slightly angry that it was brought up after all these years.
"Do you remember when your mother and step father died a few years ago due to unknown causes?" Officer Kai asked.
"Yes, you said it was due to something with their jobs. What about it now?" Pie asked, his anger rising.
"Well, we found more victims like that all over town. We took a deeper look into your parents' death and found out that they had been poisoned. Not only that, but we apprehended Deep Blue and after a few hours of interrogation we got him to admit to everything and then he also admitted that you and your siblings are next. We didn't want to tell you about any of this originally because we know how you can get, but then out of nowhere he mysteriously disappeared. So in the end someone had to tell you the truth and since I worked on your parents' case before I figured it should be me." Officer Kai said looking at Pie, who by now was dark red in the face with anger.
"So what does that mean for us then?" Pie asked trying to calm down, but it didn't seem to work.
"Well, for your siblings' safety and of course yours as well we think that it is best for you and them to go into witness protection. It is what's best for you guys." Officer Kai said simply looking at Pie, thinking that he wouldn't agree to the witness protection and would want to go out and find and kill Deep Blue.
Officer Kai couldn't blame him, but he couldn't let him do such a thing for safety reasons.
"Fine, we'll go into witness protection, but I don't know how well they'll like it. Well Tart might; he likes adventures and stuff like this. Berry on the other hand, I think she'll hate it; she's pretty popular from what she says. And as for Maya…I'm not sure; she doesn't really care for change, but she really doesn't seem to have a lot of friends…" Pie said rolling his eyes at while explaining Berry.
"Right, well you have fun with that. I have to go; I'll be back within a few days." Officer Kai said leaving as the other two came in?
As expected Tart thought this was the coolest thing ever; he didn't have any friends so it didn't matter to him. Berry on the other hand threw a major fit; she was leaving all her friends…even though she only had two and really wasn't all that popular. And Maya…well she was conflicted
End Flashback:
So here they were, in front of the new house; Berry complaining the whole time.
Haru & Pudding:
Haru and his younger sister Pudding lived in an orphanage in China before going into witness protection.
Haru is fourteen with orange hair and crimson red eyes while Pudding is twelve and has short blonde hair and light brown eyes.
All of their younger siblings have been adopted; it seems nobody wants teenagers. For Haru and Pudding what happened to them, whether they get adopted or not didn't matter; what mattered to them were their younger siblings.
After their siblings were all adopted out the owners of the orphanage started being really nasty to Pudding and Haru, so they got what they could carry and ran away. Of course being fourteen and twelve they couldn't get too far; they ended up living in an alley under a very large box they had found.
The only reason they are in witness protection is because of something Haru and their parents witnessed when he was eight…drug bust gone wrong.
One night while they were trying to sleep a man came and grabbed them and tried to take them to who knows where and put an end to them. However, a friend bystander was there and stopped anything from happening.
After all was said and done the bystander took them to the police who in turn called the FBI when they heard who they were and they were sent with them to Japan where they would meet others somewhat like them and maybe make new friends.
They stood there, in front of the house, bouncing from foot to foot, excited at how many people they would be living with.
Michiru, Zakuro, Ami, Mint, Setsuna, Lettuce & Tasuku:
Michiru and Zakuro are sisters who lived in Paris three doors down from their best friends Setsuna, Lettuce and Tasuku and Ami and Mint before being relocated. Actually, Zakuro and Mint were and are dating.
Michiru is nineteen with teal colored hair down a little past her shoulders and blue eyes; she was professional painter/violinist.
Zakuro is seventeen with long violet hair down to her mid back and light blue eyes and used to be a model/singer.
Ami is seventeen with short dark blue hair and blue eyes; she has dreams of being a doctor.
Mint is fifteen with dark blue shoulder length hair tied up into buns and brown eyes and is a dancer, no longer professional.
Setsuna is nineteen with long dark green hair that reaches her knees with a bun and red eyes; she was an up and coming scientist
Lettuce and Tasuku are both sixteen year old fraternal twins. Lettuce has green hair and light blue eyes while Tasuku has gray hair and eyes.
Lettuce's and Tasuku's parents, Dashi and Pepper, are business moguls, as is Michiru's, Zakuro's and Skyley's mom, Rose; their dad died when they were young from a heart attack or something like that. Ami's and Mint's mom was also a business women obsessed with her work; she died in her office. Their dad died when they were really little, so they don't really remember him.
One day while they were out shopping, much to Tasuku's dismay, they heard a loud boom come from behind them and found that Setsuna's, Lettuce's and Tasuku's father and Ami's and Mint's mom and many others had been in a building that had been blown up-there were only four survivors, all lower paid interns on the bottom floor.
Michiru's, Zakuro's and Skyley's and Setsuna's, Lettuce's and Tasuku's mothers were supposed to be there that day, but had to stay home because they both had severe food poisoning from bad sushi that they got from a convenient store on the go; they needed food fast. Boy, are they suffering the consequences and they are pissed; work is the most important thing to them.
Anyways, when the four survivors came out the group witnessed four people in black, three men and one woman, shoot them dead in an overkill kind of fashion.
The group did know what to do; they stood there shocked until the shooters saw them and started walking towards them shooting.
Not even five seconds after the people in black saw them, Setsuna, Michiru and Zakuro started pushing the younger kids to get them to run; they all made it to the nearest police station, but not unharmed; Mint was shot in the back of left her leg and Lettuce in her right arm and shoulder.
They were rushed to a hospital as soon as they knew it was safe; the bullets missed all major organs and bones, so they were just wrapped up and sent home after statements were taken.
Two days later FBI agents who work all over the world came to talk to the families and told them that they would need to be put in witness protection, to which their mothers threw a fit. They were complaining because they just made leads in their departments; needless to say they were not happy.
The kids all agreed to go into protection almost right away; their mothers however, took hours to get them to agree. They did, however, after hours agreed to go, defeated.
So about two weeks later they arrived at the new house; there were some people there already there and then the rest of the people arrived after they did.
Lettuce and Tasuku were a little apprehensive, Mint and Zakuro were…well…annoyed; they didn't sleep very well on the bumpy plane ride. Michiru, Setsuna and Ami were excited; they liked a new challenge and scenery. And we all know how their mothers are, pissy and bitchy.
Haruka, Makoto, Minako, Usagi, Rei & Hotaru:
Haruka and Makoto are sisters who lived in a small neighborhood in Germany right between their best friends; sisters, Minako and Usagi on the left and sisters, Rei and Hotaru on the left. That was before they were relocated back to Japan…where most of them are from to begin with; but of course in a different area completely.
Haruka is nineteen with short, choppy, sandy brown hair and green eyes; she was professional racecar driver and was very into sports.
Makoto is sixteen with long brown hair down to her upper back, kept tied up in a ponytail and dark green eyes; she was just trying to figure out who she is.
Minako and Usagi are sixteen year old twins with blonde hair and blue eyes; the differences are Minako leaves her hair down to her lower back while Usagi keeps her hair tied up in pigtails with buns that reach her ankles. Minako loved playing volleyball and Usagi loved sleeping, reading manga and eating.
Rei is sixteen with long black hair down to her lower back and bluish-purple eyes; she was a priestess and an aspiring singer.
Hotaru is twelve with shoulder length black hair purple eyes; she has no clue who she is or wants to be.
One day while they were just hanging out and getting ready for a race or talent show there was a shooting; none of them knew what was going on as they all hid in an old abandoned shed.
None of them were hurt, but Haruka's race was cancelled; the talent show would go on…until there was a bombing destroying the community center that the show was to be held in three days later.
They, along with everyone in the area had no clue what was going on or why it was even happening in the first place…but the police damn determined to figure it all out.
It wasn't until a month later that they figured it out…
Haruka, Makoto and Minako were attacked while playing volleyball while Usagi, Rei and Hotaru were out shopping.
They were all rushed to a hospital as soon as they escaped from the madmen who attacked them.
Haruka and Makoto had their arms slashed up pretty decently and had to have stitches; sixty-four for Makoto and eighty-one for Haruka.
Minako got away with twenty stitches as she only got a cut across her cheek and arm; but then she fell and busted open her knee.
Rei was able avoid getting injured while Usagi got a broken finger from it being slammed in a door and Hotaru was shot in the wrist…shattering it.
No one knew why they were being targeted until something about their deceased parents were brought up. Haruka's and Makoto's dad left the mob just before Haruka was born. Minako's and Usagi's parents owed the mob money for whatever reason. Neither Hotaru nor Rei really knew their parents.
So here they are…in witness protection…along with everyone else.
Mamoru, Seiya, Taiki & Yaten:
You want an unconventional family? Well here you go…
Mamoru, Seiya, Taiki and Yaten are all eighteen…and are all brothers. Well, half brothers; they have the same father, but different mothers. Their parents were involved in polygamy; something the boys just don't get and couldn't get into…so they all left as soon as they could. However, they all still live together as they didn't have enough funds on their own to live on their own, pay bills and buy food and such.
Their parents' lifestyle is why they're in witness protection. But I'll get to that in a little bit…
Mamoru is eighteen with short black hair and blue eyes; he aspires to be a doctor one day.
Seiya is eighteen with long black hair down to his mid back, tied up in a ponytail and blue eyes and is part of a boy band with Taiki and Yaten.
Taiki is eighteen with long brown down to his mid back, tied up in a ponytail and brown eyes and is part of a boy band with Seiya and Yaten.
Yaten is eighteen with long silver down to his mid back, tied up in a ponytail and blue eyes and is part of a boy band with Taiki and Seiya.
One day while they were rehearsing and Mamoru was forced to listen to them, they were attacked by, who they thought were just the paparazzi or insane fans…but as they found three days later when they found their manager dead…they were dead wrong.
After all that they were forced into going into witness protection. Taiki was actually kind of thrilled about it all; he loves adventure and being able to change who he is from time to time.
Mamoru was annoyed, but at the same time understood.
Seiya and Yaten on the other hand were not happy at all; Yaten didn't want to move and Seiya didn't want to give up his fans.
But like everyone else, they gave in and went into the program with the promise of getting back to a normal life…for them…once everything was figured out.
"So, this is where we will be staying?" Ichigo asked looking at the house after everybody arrived.
"Yes, this is where you will ALL be staying. It's a safe place for you all; you're all connected because of the problems you have encountered that brought you all here." A man in a navy blue uniform said coming up behind everybody, along with an older woman who looked like she was in her late forties or early fifties.
"Surely this won't fit all of us! It can't be that big. And how are we supposed to get any work done with all these people in one house!" Rose complained first, Pepper following suit.
"Who are you people anyways?" Pepper asked rudely right away.
"Me? I'm Akio Tokawa, director and head of witness protection for anyone dealing with the people who are trying to kill you guys. This is one of my associates; her name is Chihiro Jade, and she is one of our best therapists/physiologists that we have; she's here to help you all cope with what has happened to you. And this house is big enough for you all; it has fifteen rooms, each with their own full bathroom, plus four other half bathrooms around the house, a decent sized living area, if you decide to use it, an extra large kitchen and dining room, again, if you decide to use it, a massive basement, an attic and a yard that stretches ten acres. Outside there is a pool house with three pools and two hot tubs, a pool house with pool tables, air hockey tables and other various table games, a small golf course, a play ground type area and sixteen different sheds for the kids to uses whenever they want. And for the adults who can legally drink, there is also a small bar outside as well, that's way down the way thought; there is a path to follow…for everyplace out there. And ladies, the pool house isn't just for you guys; the kids and other adults may use it whenever they please. And we will know if you are hogging the pool house. That being said, please note that with the exceptions of the bedrooms and the bathrooms every room, the pool house and the sheds are heavily monitored with cameras so we can make sure that everybody here is safe and using places fairly. Now as I said before there are only fifteen rooms, so everybody will have roommates and we've already got them picked out and who gets what room. Now if you'd please follow me." Akio said simply as he was about to go inside and show them all around.
"Roommates, I can handle, fine. But not being able to pick my own room. Uh-uh. No way, no how. I demand to pick my own room! And I certainly will not allow some guy, who I don't know to pick my roommate!" Rose said angrily.
"Some of these young people have no respect and think that they should get everything handed to them on a silver platter. Good lord if they worked for me, they'd be fired on the spot." Nanny said simply.
"Excuse me! Who do you think you are, you little old hag?!" Rose and Pepper demanded at the same time.
"Actually, Mrs. Nanny, they do work for you. They worked for your company back in Paris and they work for your company here." Akio said simply.
"Excuse us?! What do you mean we work for her?!" Rose and Pepper asked shocked and pissed.
"Well, that company you worked so hard to get ahead in was owned by Nanny and Toshi. Their names were on the logos; well their birth names were anyways. There new names are on their company here, which by the way is going great; I think you said it was once your daughter's idea." Akio said looking at Nanny.
"No, as much as I loved my daughter, she had no creative ideas in her body; this new company is my granddaughter's idea; the real creative designer in the family." Nanny said looking at Kari.
"Yep, that's Kari for you. She can't sew worth crap, but she drew a lot of her outfits she used to wear when she would model; yeah, I know who you used to be. Granted Kari doesn't really like designing outfits she's more of other artsy type of stuff." Kish said looking at his sister.
"Wait, you're that family? The family who owns the best clothing companies in the world? The family with the deranged man who killed his wife and almost killed his own daughter and actually shot his son?" Rose and Pepper shot out immediately, causing Kari to have a panic attack.
"Nice going lady. Do you just puke out what you have to say? Why the fuck can't you think before you fucking speak!" Kish yelled at them helping Kari to relax.
"Kish, language!" Nanny yelled while Toshi gave him a thumb up.
"What?! They fucking started it. I'm not apologizing for their stupidity!" Kish said angrily.
"I'm not even going to argue with you right now. Just get her to calm down." Nanny said calmly.
"I'm ok. Can we just look around?" Kari asked standing up after a few minutes.
"Aren't you going to do something about your disrespectful grandson?"
"No. First of all he's right; you should think before you speak. Second of all, you have no right to comment on our life. I will have a talk with him later. As for you ladies; my granddaughter and grandson will be taking over ANY businesses we ever have, so I'd suggest you respect them like you supposedly respect me and my husband. We have heard of you and the work that you put into the company and the promotion that we so gracefully gave to you. Oh yes. Did you think that your boss gave you the promotion? Well you would be wrong. The company belongs to us and we ultimately decide who gets hired, fired, promoted or demoted. I'm telling you right now if your work ethics weren't so good, you'd either be demoted or fired. Do you understand me? Oh and one more thing, you will listen and respect Mr. Akio's rules and have a roommate and your rooms picked for you." Nanny demanded, annoyed at the two in front of her, who by now looked like they were about to shit their pants; they just nodded their heads.
"Wow…I've never seen our moms so quiet before. I like this lady; she's awesome!" Zakuro whispered to Michiru, Setsuna, Lettuce and Tasuku.
"I know right. I've never seen anybody stand up to them ever. And that boy with the green hair, the lady's grandson, he's so good looking." Michiru whispered back, causing Lettuce to giggle a bit while Setsuna, Ami, Tasuku and Mint stood there in agreement.
Neither Lettuce nor Tasuku said anything, but just stood there shocked, just nodding their heads in agreement.
"Well, right. As Ms. Kari and Mrs. Nanny have said and asked I will now show you around the house and to your rooms." Akio said opening the door, leading everybody inside.
Once inside everybody's jaws hit the floor at how nice and beautiful the place looked.
"Wow! Look at this place." Pudding and Ringo said at once while everybody looked around.
"Right if you follow me. This is the living area; if for some reason you should spend any time together this would be the place. Same goes for the dining room, which is the room right between the living area and the kitchen. This is the kitchen; I know it's really big, but I don't know how many of you will be in here at once. The basement is through this door; it would probably make a good game room or something along those lines. The attic is upstairs; I'll get to that in a little bit. There is a half bath in the basement, one between the dining room and living area. There is also a half bath upstairs and one in the attic. If you follow me this way to the sliding glass door; this leads to a porch and to outside." Akio said sliding the door to outside.
Everyone then stepped out onto the porch to see the beautiful view.
"Ok, so you see this path, just follow it and it will lead you to everywhere you would go. Out to the right is the playground and to the left is the golf area. If you go straight back a little ways both pool houses are back there; swimming pools to the left and pool gaming area to the right. Follow the path further back and there will be several large shed like buildings with each of the kids' names on them indicating which one is theirs. Ultimately they will fit all of the kids in them at once, but they are designed pacifically for each individual or group. And if you go back even further the bar is at the end of the one path. After the bar however, are two more paths, one leading east and one west; those are hiking or bike paths, either or. I will let you guys explore that later when you're all settled in. Keep in mind, stay to the path at all times; don't want anyone getting lost out there. Now if you'd follow me back inside I'll show you all to your rooms." Akio said simply as everybody walked inside.
"I have a question, Mr. Akio." Lettuce said raising her hand.
"Yes, what is it Lettuce?" Akio asked looking at her.
"I saw horses out there. Do they belong to this land or no?" Lettuce asked.
"Yes and No. They do live on this land, but people in the city own them; they don't come by very often. One of the groundskeepers takes care of them. I hope that answers your question." Akio said looking at her.
"Yes, thank you." Lettuce said quietly.
"Ok, this way then. Oh and I've ordered you guys pizza for when you do get settled. Anyways follow me. The adults will all be downstairs, and those rooms along with the few spare rooms are this way. The laundry room is on the other end of the house on the other side of the living area. Nanny and Toshi this will be your room; I hope you enjoy it and I also hope it's big enough." Akio said showing them.
"I think this'll be plenty of room." Toshi said as he and his wife looked around.
"Will you two be ok on your own?" Nanny asked Kish and Kari.
"Yes." Both Kari and Kish said simply looking inside their grandparents' new room.
"Ok, then. Behave and have fun." Nanny and Toshi said looking at Kish when they said behave and at Kari when they said have fun.
"We will." They both said.
"Ok, next to them we have Sakura and Shintaro and on the end are Rose and Pepper." Akio said as they all went looking, Sakura and Shintaro saying their "I love yous and behaves and have funs" to their kids. Rose and Pepper just went without saying a word to their kids.
"Ok now if you'll all follow me upstairs I'll show you your rooms." Akio said leading them upstairs.
Once upstairs he let Chihiro explain the room arrangements.
"Ok, when we picked who would be staying with who, we went by age and of course gender and there was some other things that we had to account for. First of all we put boys with boys and girls with girls. Boys are on the east wing and girls are on the right wing. The attic separates each wing, right here at the top of the stairs. Right, we'll start with the girls; as we have uneven number of girls and certain ages, some of you older girls will be sharing with younger girls. Also, I know that there are a lot of siblings here…not all of you will be in the same room…it all just depends on where you're placed. This first room here belongs to Setsuna, Haruka and Michiru and the room next to them belongs to Zakuro, Rei and Mint. Next to them we have Ami, Maya and Lettuce. Then a few feet down, past a wall/walk way we have Makoto, Ichigo and Kari. Any who, moving on; next to them we have Minako, Usagi and Berry. And finally, at the end of the hall, making it impossible to sneak out in the middle of the night because I know how twelve year old girls are, we have Pudding, Ringo, Rini and Hotaru. Well, all of your things are already in your rooms; they're just waiting to be unpacked. Go ahead and get settled in while we show the boys their rooms." Chihiro said showing the girls to their rooms and new roommates.
"Are you going to be ok? I mean when everything is all said and done I'll show you where you can find me at any time." Kish said to Kari while she looked around.
"Yes, I'm fine, just a bit nervous. But everyone else seems ok. New place I guess. Thanks." Kari said walking into her new room with Ichigo.
"Don't worry; we'll take good care of her over here. Nothing to worry about." Ichigo, Makoto, Setsuna, Haruka, Michiru and Zakuro said at the same time smiling.
"Ok then. See you in a little bit." Kish said walking with the other guys.
"She doesn't talk much does she?" Ryou asked looking at Kish.
"No. But a lot has happened and it's her business to say or tell you if she wants; not mine." Kish said simply, knowing full well he was just curious.
"That's fine. I think we've all been through a lot; some more than others." Ryou replied back.
"I guess." Kish sighed.
"Ok guys, here we are. This first room belongs to, Keiichiro, Pie and Mamoru and next to them are Seiya, Taiki and Yaten. We didn't figure you guys would want to be with younger guys and would like to have intellectual conversations assuming you guys talk. Any who, moving on…just a little ways past down a wall we have Ryou and Kish; we thought of putting Ryou and Masaya together, but then we read your file…found out you two don't get along a whole lot and we want to try and keep the peace…so we put Masaya and Tasuku in the room next door. And finally on the end because I know fourteen year old boys are sneaker than twelve year old girls, Tart and Haru are on the end. Especially these two fourteen year old boys…very mischievous. Any who go ahead and check out your new rooms and get to know one another." Chihiro said in a chipper voice as she and Akio went downstairs.
"Wow, she's one peppy lady." Tart and Haru said staring after her.
"Yeah, it's really annoying." Ryou, Kish and Pie said going to their new rooms.
"Any who…" Tart and Haru said mimicking her.
"Be nice. She just has a sunny disposition that's all." Keiichiro said as they all went to their own rooms.
