DING DONG

"I hope this is the right place." I say to myself as I rung the doorbell to the mansion.

I look back and around the front of the home and sighed in awe as I saw the beautiful and neat roses in the bushes and the fountain in the middle of the pathway. The sun was setting and the water from the fountain seemed to glow in a fiery orange. As I kept my eye on the surrounding area, the door behind me opens and an older looking man stood in front of me. He seemed to be a butler maybe from the uniform he wore. He eyes me for a moment before speaking calmly to me.

"May I help you?"

"Is this the Sakamaki residence?" I felt my voice shake as I asked.

"Yes. Are you a visitor?" I nod before he moves out of the way and I enter the grand entrance.

I again sigh in amazement as I looked around the large room. On the ceiling hung a large crystal chandelier and there was a wide staircase that split from the East and West onto the second story of the mansion. The stairs were covered in a crimson carpet that went with the dark feeling of the room. There is an eerie silence in the room as I only heard myself breathing.

"Come this way miss." I follow the butler as he showed me a way through a hallway and we approached a large, double door that seemed to be leading to a chamber or somewhere. "The man who you should speak with is in here." He opens the door and I reluctantly enter the brightened room.

"Ayato, can you please get off my lap? I'm trying to study." I heard a girl's voice as I walk into the room and saw that on a long couch was a girl with light blond hair draping below her shoulders and pale skin and on her lap was a man with dark red hair and a casual outfit, who seemed to be napping.

"Aw. Come on pancake. Let me lay here for a while." Ayato complains as the girl sighs deeply.

"Ayato, do you have to be so annoying?" Another man with black hair shakes his head as he looks up from his book that he was reading.

"Hello." I heard a seductive voice behind me and gasp when I turn to see another man with shoulder length red hair and a fedora with a red silk ribbon around it look down at me. I met his dark green eyes as I took a step back from him.

"Is she new meat?" A pair of hands grab ahold of my shoulders and I quickly turn around to find another man behind me. He had matching violet eyes and hair but he had dark bags under his eyes as if he lacked sleep.

"Leave her alone." A husky voice made the two men take a step back from me and pout.

"Shuu! You didn't have to ruin the new food." The one with the fedora says in a whine.

"I don't think she's food." My body started to tremble as I heard the voice. Yet it was calm, it gave me a cold sweat just about me being food.

Turning around again, I saw a tall man with light brown hair and bright blue eyes stare at me as he leaned against the wall. He had a choker with a small MP3 player with short earbuds attached and placed in his ears. He held a blank face as he kept staring at me before he spoke.

"Who are you?" He asks gently.

"Christina." I answer quietly.

"What is your full name?"

I hesitate before answering. "Christina 'White Rose' Sakamaki." I then heard gasp around the room as I finished and I immediately regretted it.

"What do you mean?!" One of them shout.

"Does that mean we have a sister?" Another asks.

"What the fuck did you say?" A rough voice rose above me and I slowly look up at the similar facial features of another man. He had red eyes and white hair long enough to cover one side of his face. He shows his teeth to me as I hear a growl escape his lips. I then notice his pair of fangs.

"You're Subaru." I quietly whisper.

"How the hell do you know my name?" His fist clench tighter and his jaw tighten as I took a step back.

I gulp before forcing myself to speak again. "I'm your little sister." He punches the concrete wall next to us and creates a deep crater in the wall. I quickly cover my mouth with both my hands and tightly shut my eyes as I began to shake.

"LIKE HELL YOU ARE MY LITTLE SISTER!" His voice roars throughout the room while I began to feel tears well in my shut eyes.

"Subaru! Calm down!" I hear one of the men shout at him but his growls didn't seem to cease.

"Subaru, you're scaring her." I heard the girl's voice speak to him calmly but there was a hint of fear hidden in the tone.

"I don't give a shit." He kept speaking roughly to the others, but it felt like it was aimed towards me.

"We should let her explain herself." The man with the husky voice continued to speak gently even when the air around us was all tense.

"No!" Subaru rejects. "She doesn't have to explain anything! She's a lying little bitch!"

He roughly grabs hold of my shoulder, making me dart open my eyes and uncover my mouth; finally letting my voice out. Tears overflowed my eyes and they ran down my cheek and down my neck as I kept looking up at my big brother. His red eyes pierced mine and his white hair covering his right eye. It was like mine. My bangs covered my right eye because I chopped it in an angle and my eyes were the same darkness of red as his were.

He stares at me for another moment before roughly throwing me onto the ground. I fall on my rear and look up at Subaru again.

"I want you out of this house."

"But,"

"SHUT UP!" My tears start to fall rapidly as Subaru's voice echoes around us. "I don't ever want to see you ever again!" And with that, he disappears.

It was dead silent in the room. You would be able to hear a pin drop. But it didn't last long before I finally broke down and hug my knees. I didn't move from my spot on the ground, my butt and shoulder hurt from pain but my heart ached from rejection. I have waited so long for this moment. To finally meet my brother. But I was rejected, disowned, unbelieved. I couldn't stop crying even if I try to.

"I'm sorry." I heard the girl's voice near me and look up to see her on her knees in front of me with brows furrowed and a look of pity on her pale face.

"I'm not lying." I choke out.

"Does that mean you are our half sister?" The man with the violet hair and eyes asks as he squats down to my height.

"She must explain herself first." The man with black hair bluntly states, making me nod and get off the ground.

The girl lead me to the couch she and Ayato sat on and I pull up my leg and rest my chin on the jeaned knee. Everyone else found a seat around me and waited patiently before I began to speak.

"A long time ago, before Christa married Karl, she had a best friend. This was her only best friend while she was growing up. And one day, they made a pact to each other. Whoever gives to a child that looks like one of them, even if it isn't their birth child, they will name it as their own. Her best friend was the exact opposite of Christa. She had short, black hair and bright, blue eyes. She was hyper, outgoing, adventurous, creative, always looking into the positive and exciting things. But that all changed when Christa left her for Karlheinz. She was miserable and depressed. A year after Subaru was born, she was raped by a mortal. He kidnapped her, chained her, abused her, and planted himself inside of her. He then left her for dead. But she somehow survived and soon after; a baby girl with white hair and red eyes was born. She remembered that pact from that day and immediately arranged papers. She requested that once her daughter turns 14, she will seek out her real mother. And that's what happened. She told her daughter everything. She told her that she wasn't her mother legally but only biologically. She told her that she had a brother. She told her where to go. She even asked her own daughter to kill her before she left. It was difficult but she finally convinces her daughter to kill her before she left the house in search of her real family."

I look at all the faces around me. Some have a surprised face, some have a blank face.

"Christa is my adopted mother. Meaning Subaru is my step-brother." The room again went silent.

"So… You are our half-half sister?" The man in violet asks.

"We could figure that out later. But first let us introduce ourselves." The man in the black hair says in a frank tone. "Shuu here is the eldest." He says as he points to the man with the brown hair who was laying on the couch. "My name is Reiji. His full blooded brother and second eldest."

"I'm Ayato. And my full brothers are Kanato and Laito." He points at the man in violet and the man in the fedora.

"And you already know Subaru. No full brother but a half sister." Laito says.

"I'm Yui. I just live here with the Sakamakis. It's great to meet you." A gentle smile spreads across her lips and I couldn't help but smile back.

"It's nice meeting you all." I bow my head and smile to them all.

"Sorry about Subaru's behavior." Yui says to me. "He must have been surprised about the news that he probably freaked out. But once you get to know him, he's very sweet."

"I don't think he'll want me anywhere near him ever again."
