We're moving to japan…
Eiji's mother's had said this to her about a month ago right in the middle of her freshman year of high school. Her parents always wanted to run a marine life rehabilitation center. An old friend of her Mama's called and said he wanted to finally retire for he was getting to old to take care of the animals. Her mothers were all for it
Her problem was not that she couldn't speak Japanese because she could. Reading Japanese was difficult for her but she wasent insanely worried about that. The problem was that she liked the security of the place she lived now. She knew how to get to the store, knew when traffic was bad, knew the people around her and she felt safe. She didn't want to have to learn a new place when she was already comfortable where she was. Plus she would have to start high school all over again as a 1st year…awesome.
Unlike her brother who chose to go to Samezuka academy for boys because of their Gymnastics team Eiji's only option was to go to Iwatobi high. Not having her older brother with her at a new school would suck ass. Not only that her older older brother was going to college and instead of living at home like the plan was he would be staying in the dorm so who knows when he'll be able to visit. Not only that the eldest of the siblings Malachite got an internship in Ireland for the year with very little chance of him even visiting at all. Not to mention she would worry for her little sister who had a hard enough time learning English, now she would have to learn Japanese.
But there was a bright side… living near the ocean which was Eiji's favorite place in the world. Although when they arrived at their house there was too much work to be done at the house and the Rehabilitation center so it would be awhile before any of them had free time.
Eiji's parents, Kala and Catherine decided to open the rehabilitation center as an aquarium to the public on order to help people be more aware of how important marine life was and to help bring in more money to care for the animals. Also it would give all of their kid's part-time jobs.
Eiji was very strict about kids tapping on the glass, screaming, or people throwing shit in the pool to try and feed the animals, or to just be a lazy jackass and not throw their trash in the garbage cans and it was never hard to get people to listen to her given her appearance.
Eiji was scary looking. She had black hair with half her head shaven and the other half wild and spiky. She had her ears pierced all the way to the brim including her eyebrow, tongue and belly button, topped off with thick black liner around her sharp bluish-jade eyes and she looked like bad news.
"HEY!" Eiji yelled at a couple of teenagers who were throwing shit like trash at the sea turtles. "DO THAT AGAIN AND ILL THROW YOU IN THE TRASH CAN!" Her dark bluish Jade eyes glinting dangerously as they scurried away.
"Jesus Eiji." Her younger older brother came up to her patting her on the back to calm her down. "You're not even on duty, don't you think you can go a little easier on people?"
"There's no excuse for being an insensitive dumbass. There are signs everywhere people should know better." Eiji growled. She loved animals and she was attached to every single one here. She knew every fish in the tank from every seal in their enclosures.
"Yeah but we need people to want to come visit not scare them off." Agamine reminded her as he grabbed a net and skimmed all the paper cups out of the pool.
"I don't want assholes near the animals." Eiji crossed her arms and knitted her brows. Over the 6 months of working at the aquarium Eiji had grown an attachment to all of the animals. She was very passionate about protecting marine life and she got insanely pissed when people were careless. "The safety of the animals is top priority."
"I guess you're right." Agamine sighed knowing there was no point in arguing with his younger sister. "By the way… we start school very soon. Are you excited?"
Eiji's face fell in disgust. "No."
"Ha! I'm not too ecstatic either." He smiled flipping his sandy blonde hair out of his pale blue eyes.
"I still hate you for going to Samezuka." Eiji growled "Leaving me to deal with people all by myself like that."
"If Iwatobi had a Gymnastics team I would go." Agamine defended "Plus there is an all-girls school nearby if you wa-"
"No" Eiji cut him short
"Ouch. Why?"
"Girls are bitches." Eiji said simply
"You're a girl Eiji."
"So I should know most of all."
Agamine laughed heartily hitting his sister on the back lovingly "You'll be fine. I'm sure you'll make lots and lots of new friends."
"Tch." Eiji tsked and returned her gaze to the pool.
"Agamine everything okay over here?" Their mom Catherine walked over her long blond hair swaying with every step. "I heard yelling."
"Eiji just yelled at some teenagers. They were throwing trash in the pool." Agamine laughed
"That's my girl!" Cathy gave Eiji a side hug lovingly. "Make sure you don't curse at anyone though okay?"
"I won't." Eiji agreed as her mother squeezed her tighter.
"Good girl!" Cathy turned to Agamine "Oh and sweetie remember to take off your necklace before you clean the pool, we have a newbie, Remi, who likes to eat shiny things. We don't want him getting sick."
"Of course." Agamine nodded
"And your mother is making a very nice curry dinner for you all tonight so you make sure you don't get any fast food crap for dinner" Cathy gave both her kids a kiss on the cheek before leaving to check on the newest dolphin.
"So, do you think you'll join any clubs at Iwatobi?" Agamine asked
"No." Eiji deadpanned
"Eiji~" Agamine sighed "I wish you would at least do one thing."
"Why?" Eiji squinted at him.
"Because I want you to have friends." He sighed "You loved being on the dive team for awhile there."
"Things changed…people changed." Eiji tugged at the black work goggles she always kept around her neck when she was at the aquarium.
"Please…just try and join one club? Please?" He begged giving her puppy eyes that she found irresistible. "It dosnt have to be a sport it could be a book club or a drama club or really anything, Iwatobi should have a lot of little clubs to make up for its lack of sports."
"…maybe… I don't know." Eiji looked away to one of the turtles whose shell surfaced then disappeared. Agamine stared harder his lip pouting and his eyes twitching. Eiji looked at I'm out of the corner of her eye and sighed audibly in defeat "I guess I can try something… maybe drama club"
"Yay!" Agamine hugged her tightly
"But it won't be a sport." Eiji growled "I promise you that."
"Just a club Eiji I just want-" suddenly his eyes widened
"…what?"
"Bathroom! Watch the tank for me Kay?" he jogged off to the restroom without another word.
Eiji set her arms against the glass railing resting her head in her arms going over what Agamine said. She guessed she could do one thing. Maybe like a book club. At least that would give her time to read books about marine life.
"Oh no! My bracelet!" with her eyes she glanced over at a busty redhead who was currently leaning over in the water watching her silver bracelet slowly sink to the bottom of the pool.
"Oh…don't worry… we'll tell an employee and maybe they can get it out for you." her other female companion consoled her. Eiji hope they don't turn out to be a pain like some people. Agamine can get the bracelet shell just have to wait until tomorrow to get it back. The tank isn't cleaned until after closing so there won't be an opportunity to get it while she's here. Things like cameras and phones get dropped into the tank and the people tend to bother them until they make a special accommodation to them and get it out immediately. If she-
Oh and sweetie remember to take off your necklace before you clean the pool, we have a newbie, Remi, who likes to eat shiny things. We don't want him getting sick.
Mama's warning to Agamine echoed in her brain. Eiji's eyes went wide as she gasped standing up straight. There's a turtle who likes shiny things and a very shiny bracelet just fell into the pool.
Shit.
"Come on Gou. We'll go ask-"
Before the sentence was finished she snapped on my black goggles and dove into the turtle pool shoes and all dolphin kicking to the bottom of the pool. Where did she drop it? Eiji spent at least 2 minutes swimming around frothing her hands around the sand looking for the bracelet. At the top of her vision Eiji saw Remi herself swimming down towards an object glinting in the sunlight. Shit! There it is!
With a powerful kick she swam towards the glinting object. Gently pushing Remi away she snatched up the object pushing off the bottom to the top. She broke the surface with a gentle breath and moved her goggles to her forehead.
"Eiji!" she turned to see her brother Agamine holding out his hand. She swam over and grabbed his hand. He effortlessly pulled her out of the water over the glass wall. "These girls kept saying you jumped in and drowned." Eiji looked over to the small group of girls curiously looking at their shocked faces. "I didn't believe them."
"You were under water for like 3 minutes!" The red head shouted "How are you alive?"
"Here." she said simply holding out the charm bracelet she had retrieved. Before anymore could be said she quickly walked away. There's nothing worse than wearing wet socks and I wanted nothing more than to change into some dry clothes.

"Eiji baby why are you all wet?!" Eiji's mother Kala shouted abandoning her cooking and rushing over to her soaking wet daughter.
"I jumped in the turtle tank." Eiji grumbled shedding off her black hoodie "Some chick dropped a bracelet in to pool. I got it before Remi could eat it."
"You're not hurt are you baby? Its cold outside you could got a cold! Go upstairs and put on a warm sweatshirt the curry is almost done!" Kala gently nudged her daughter to the stairs "And get your sister okay?"
"Yes mom!" Eiji shouted down the stairs. She went into her room pulling an ugly yellow but insanely soft and comfy hoodie from her dirty clothes basket and grabbing a pair of black sweatpants. Then she headed over to her sisters room where she was taking a nap with the Families dog. A majestic St. Bernard named Queenie. She had been born from the neighbors dogs who bred St. bernards, being the runt of the litter the mom immedeatly rejected her, not wanting the poor little puppy to die they asked The Katsuyaia family if they had wanted to take her in. The incredibly heartbreaking pouts from their children forced the mothers to say yes. As she grew it was a shock to the family how big she had gotten considering she was a runt. Dispite her gigantic size she was just a big cuddly teddy bear.
"Hey Ramee." She shook her 8 year old sister who was taking a nap waking the dog in the process who excitedly wagged her tail at the arrival of Eiji. "Dinner is ready."
"Eiji?" her sister sat up rubbing her beautiful hazel eyes sleepily. "Why do you smell like fish?"
"I jumped in a tank." Eiji explained
"Why?" Ramee asked
"I explain at dinner, let's go little fish." She said quietly as she scooped up the smaller girl. Little fish was her nickname for her because it was the first thing in English she ever learned. So little fish was her nickname. She had been adopted from Spain and English was something the whole family had helped her with.
In fact they were all adopted, even Eiji. The only blood relation was Agamine who is Catherine's nephew, and even though Catherine is his aunt he still calls her mom because that's what she is to him Eiji became an orphan at the age of 4 then was adopted when she turned 5. Keon the 2nd eldest of the siblings was adopted from Kenya. Malachite who was the oldest of all the siblings was from Ireland, His mother was very, very young when she gave birth to him and decided he would be happiest with Kala and Catherine who happily adopted him. And the youngest Ramee was from Spain.
Eiji carried her baby sister down the stairs. To the kitchen and plopped her onto a barstool.
"Here you go kids!" Kala served 2 bowls of Chicken curry to her daughters. "It's Chicken! And I'm also making a salad!"
"Thanks mom." They said simultaneously digging in to the delicious curry. Kala came up behind Eiji and wrapped a blanket around her shoulders giving her a kiss on the temple.
"Mom I'm not gonna freeze to death." Eiji deadpanned.
"I just don't want you to get a cold baby." She smiled.
"This Curry is great mom!" Ramee shouted.
"Good! It was very popular in my hometown!" Kala beamed. Kala was originally from India and she moved to America for a good education where she met Catherine and well… she never went back to India knowing that her sexuality would not be accepted by her family, her family was never very good to her anyway. She sent them a letter telling them about everything but she never got a response.
Eiji let out a little kitten sneeze and almost a second later there was a cup of warm milk in front of her. Eiji looked up at her mom. "Mom I'm not dying."
"I just don't want you to get sick baby." Kala was defiantly a worry wart. Catherine was more the 'oh you scraped your knee? rub some dirt on it you're a tough kid it'll be fine.' parent Whereas Kala was 'OHMYGOD YOU SCRAPED YOU KNEE WE NEED TO GO TO THE ER GET IN THE CAR NOW OHMYGOD.' parent
"Oh by the way mama is going to stay at the aquarium all night." Eiji said with a mouthful of curry. "Apparently there's a dolphin who can't properly swim with his injuries so she's gonna stay up all night to observe him."
"Aww Catherine is always so considerate for the animals." Kala smiled brightly "I might just go over and watch with her. Would you be alright staying here by yourselves?"
"Yeah we'll be fine." Eiji nodded.
"Good!" Kala went over to Ramee and began combing her fingers through her long chocolate brown hair "Have you been having any more sickness baby girl?" Kala asked
"Nope." Ramee smiled brightly.
"I'm taking a shower." Eiji said simply putting her bowl in the sink and putting some water in it.
"Hey! You didn't tell my why you jumped in the turtle tank!" Ramee pouted
"Eiji jumped in the pool to save a turtle from eating something dangerous." Kala explained beaming at her daughter. "Clothes and all. So sweet."
"Eiji you're a hero!" Ramee smiled
"I guess so." Eiji shrugged going upstairs to take a shower.
…. 15 minutes later…
Eiji shook a towel through her wet hair while stepping into her bedroom. Agamine was on her bed playing Zompocalypse on her TV while Queenie was on her pillows just chilling.
"Did I say you could come into my room?" Eiji asked throwing the towel in her dirty laundry hamper.
"You would have said yes anyway." Agamine said not taking his eyes from the screen.
"When did you get home?" Eiji asked sitting at her vanity to comb her hair.
"Like 10 minutes ago." He jerked his body to the left like it would help him avoid zombies. "Kala went to the Aquarium."
"Yeah she said she would." Eiji said as she rubbed moisturizer on her face "Where's Ramee?"
"She said she was going to bed."
"Of course." Ramee's favorite thing to do was sleep. She would sleep for weeks on end if she could.
"Shit! Eiji come help me I'm dying!" Agamine panicked. Eiji grabbed up a controller and tagged herself in shooting zombies off her brother's avatar.
"So were you serious about trying to join a club? Or did you just say that so id shut up?" Agamine asked once things in the game calmed down and they were building a bomb trap.
"I said I'd try didn't I?" Eiji said not taking her eyes off the screen "I don't just say shit to say it."
"I know I know. I just…" Agamine sighed "I'm going to be training like crazy and Keon won't be around all that much and Ramee is going to be studying a lot…" Agamine sighed "I Just want you to have people to be with. It's dangerous to be too alone because."
"That's when the monsters get you." He and Eiji said simultaneously.
"I'll try okay? But you know how people are around me. They get scared." Eiji explained her heart feeling a little heavier "I'm not… the sweetest person in the world."
"Said the girl who dove into the Turtle tank to save Remi." Agamine giggled "You may be a bit rough around the edges but on the inside you have a good and loyal heart."
"Horde horde!" Eiji yelled as a whole plethora of zombies came after them "Run!"
Agamine sighed looking back at the game. He just hoped that Eiji would make at least one friend at Iwatobi.

Yes Eiji has 2 mothers and they love each other very much. Got a problem? Leave or ignore it I really don't care. I won't tolerate homophobic hate in the reviews or in pm format.
I wanted to make some characters to support the lgbt community. I support love and my stories do to
