And so the story begins...

It was a cold winter night when a relative of Big Madam came to their place. Suzuya was wearing a pretty baby pink dress that complimented his pale complexion during that evening their guest visited. Big Madam was dolled in her luscious ruby red and jet black luxury clothes and they sat waiting patiently in the living room. She no longer wore her glasses and had her make-up done up as beautifully as possible.

"Rei-chan, Mama's sister is coming so you better behave, okay?" She said to Suzuya who nodded with a smile.

"Very good" she said smiling at her while fondling Suzuya's cheeks until the wooden door creaked open and it ushered in a tall lanky woman wearing a long grey dress with a slit on the right which revealed her long slender legs. She brushed her hair back and flashed a sneer at Big Madam. Big Madam reciprocated with a curt smile for she was deeply irritated by her actions and struggled to keep her emotions in check. They both shared the same strawberry colored hair but their figures were of opposite proportions. Her hair was luscious, long and wavy unlike Big Madam's plump up curls. All in all, she could be summarized as a very attractive ghoul.

"Oh, Aniki!" the guest greeted aloud whilst making her way forward towards Big Madam "It's a very a pleasant evening, it'd been such long time." she greeted by extending her arms open wide but her sister sat unresponsive.

"Oh my. Are you by any chance angry at me? Should I call you Onee-san instead to appease your anger?" the woman smirking at her as she crossed her arms under her voluptuous large chest. She openly taunted and teased Big Madam because unbeknownst to some Big Madam was originally biologically a man. However upon reaching adulthood his preference tilted resulting in him wanting to be a last time they met, she was still a he then. A grouchy ghoul who gawked at her sister's body jealously filled his heart for he yearned to attain such a figure.

"You're still annoying as always. Come here!" She said and embraced her sister. "If you don't want me to give you a night you'll never forget like we often do in the past you best correct yourself now." she uttered in a guttural, menacing almost threatening tone as she squeezed her with a vice like grip. Her sister gasped upon receiving the embrace as her body's internals were being crushed by Big Madam.

"T-that would be memorable, Onee-san" she replied forcefully pushing herself out from the embrace.

The two siblings proceeded to glare at each other as tensions heightened to new levels. Clearly neither party was willing to submit to the other. It was excruciating sweet and painful to watch. Meanwhile, Suzuya was alerted to another person Standing behind their guest. The unknown figure cloaked in the shadows had the silhouette of a little girl hiding coyly behind the door. She was intently watching the two adults clearly scared but ready for an preemptive attack. His gaze transfixed on her and he gradually took a keen liking to her. Her eyes glistened with a golden luminescence but momentarily it was replaced with a ominous red dark luminous glow as a sinister aura enveloped her very own surroundings.

"Mama" she called out with her small high pitched voice as her right eye was the only thing visible while she was covered with black menacing aura. Part of the door was firmly gripped and three tentacles inched and slithered to her sides.

Upon feeling an intense killing desire aimed directly at her, Big Madam felt shivers being sent down her spine. The murderous intent so concentrated it resulted in Big Madam breaking out in cold sweat

She immediately flung her sister to the side and sourced for where it was coming from. Apparently, it was from the girl. She stared agape her eyes transfixed, surprise filled her eyes as her face portrayed a bewildered look.

"that's your niece, my daughter." their guest proudly affirmed after composing herself. Feeling Irritated but a sense of helplessness, Big Madam calmed down.

"She's rude." Big Madam expressed staring ever so intently at the red eyed girl standing motionless behind the door.

"Oh, you felt that didn't you? Her overwhelming threatening powers." the tall woman smirked as a sense of arrogance contorted her facial features.

"She got that when she was protecting me. So a fair warning to you Onee-san, you're not allowed to toy with her. She hates getting hurt." she said emphasizing her words knowing that Big Madam was differently playful with cute kids.

She just made a disgruntled hnn sound almost seemingly disbelieving her sister's words. She watched her sister walking towards her child. As she gently patted the girl's head, she returned back to normal. A girl who boasted vibrant red hair and light blue floral dress appeared in front of them. Her mother pushed her gently towards them evidently for an introduction.

"This is my child, Rebecca. She's eight years old so do pardon her manners Onee-san."

"G-good evening, it's a pleasure to meet you aunty." Rebecca said as she ever so gracefully lifted her skirt and she bowed her head. (almost like a curtsy)

"You,." Big Madam expressed her indignant feelings for the lack of respect from before as she threw a killer look but still managed to pull of a smile for the young Rebecca.

"You really are your mother's child. Indecent yet beautiful."

The tall woman laughed heartily, "take that as a compliment Rebecca, your - ahmm - aunt is very conspicuous in making remarks."

"By the way, I also want to introduce you to my dear daughter, Rei-chan." She showing Suzuya to them.

"Good evening" he said grinning.

"Isn't she pretty like you Rebecca-chan?" Big Madam exclaimed moving them closer.

"Yes..." she replied and grabs her mother's skirt. "b-but she's a guy" she pointed at Suzuya.

Big Madam who was calm and smiling a while ago boiled with anger. Her eyes see the with malice and she slapped down hard on Rebecca's hands.

"That is the last straw! How dare you call my child a he! Can't you see she's a girl!" Big Madame shouted.

In an instant, all three of them possessed glowering red eyes. The tail of Rebecca's rinkaku was directly at Big Madam's chin piercing through her bikaku which she made as shield.

Fortunately, her sister's kagune was there too, preventing Rebecca from chopping Big Madame's face.

"Rebecca stop! She's your aunt!" Her mother chided her and slowly turned back to normal while the girl dropped to her knees as tears streamed down her face.

"B-but it hurts." Rebecca touched the part of her hand which stung from the blow given by Big Madam. A red imprint had etched itself on her fair maiden skin.

"I told you not to hurt her, Onee-san." The tall woman said while clicking her tongue in a disapproving manner as the both of them withdrew their bikakus. Big Madam edged away from the children while her sister followed her.

"tch" she couldn't find the right words to express her dismay

"She gets very emotional and always ends up killing those who hurt her physically or emotionally. She's strong, agile and very just a word of caution, her senses are by far the sharpest among any ghouls I know so she usually distinctively senses someone if she or he is a he or she." she explained with a hint of mockery from her tone.

She boldly held Big Madam's chin where a freshly opened cut took form from the earlier clash with Rebecca's kagune. Before she could grab her younger sibling's hand, she released her chin.

"She also dosent like seeing the people she loves, like me, getting hurt as well. (she gleefully laughed) That means, your tyrannical bullying days are over Onee-san"

"Why you!" Big Madam was clenching her fist whilst her teeth gritted holding in her seething rage.

Meanwhile, Rebecca stood crying and Suzuya just watched her with a deep captivated gaze in his eyes. He was staring at her as if not understanding why she was crying. But a gnawing feeling was growing inside of him and his hands unknowingly reached out towards her. Seeing his hands, Rebecca tearfully looked up at him and innocent gaze and she hugged him immediately in a warm embrace.

Suzuya was genuinely surprised. He could feel her feelings ever so tenderly warming up to him. Her hot tears trickled down her face as she buried his face in his chest holding him ever so tightly. She wanted him to comfort her yet he had never experienced such an situation which resulted in him wrapping his arms around her

"it hurts" she said sobbing incoherently.

"Don't worry. The pain will go away pretty soon." he replied in a smiling manner while holding her hands up to his face.

"really?" She peeks upwards and saw his heartwarming innocent smile. "yup. Very soon."

It was a nostalgic inexplicable feeling overflowing in him. They stayed huddled up like that for a while, almost like sisters providing comfort to each other. Rebecca proceeded to stop crying and in between her short huffs and puffs of breaths she inquisitively probed.

"what's your name again?"

Suzuya loosened his sweet embrace and looked at her tenderly, his eye made contact with her.

"You can call me Rei"
