I have always had this idea, but now, finally, I can put it into print! It's basically the sisters as humans. Does not feature the Alice Game (Well, until my RM/SC! Xros-over) but it does feature my OC Marina. That's because I have always plotted this out with her in it. She is an asset to the story. Don't like, don't read...but I would like you to read. ^_^

EDIT: I've changed the twins age, because I've got something planned for a very near future chapter.


Rozen Sisters

Chapter 1: Father's Return


"KANARIA! PRACTICE SOMEWHERE ELSE!" The eldest of 7 sisters, popularly known as the Rozen sisters, 16 year old, Suigintou pounded her bedroom wall. The violin in the next room stopped and the second eldest, 15 year old, Kanaria, shouted back, "That's the thing, there is nowhere else!" The silver haired teen scowled as she threw open her bedroom door, only to collide with the sister she hated most, 5th sister, 11 year old, Shinku. The blonde and the silver haired girl stared at each other, shocked to find that they had actually met in the hallway, which they had tried, and succeeded, to avoid for over 3 months now. Then, they scowled at each other.

"Mercury Lampe," Shinku hissed in German.

"Reiner Rubin," Suigintou snarled back in the same language. They turned pointedly to each other and walked to the stairs. Suigintou ran ahead to put some distance between her and the girl. They ran downstairs and into the living room, almost colliding into the twins, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki, third and fourth sisters and both 12, as they raced each other.

"Hey, watch it you two!" The eldest of the twins shouted. They entered the living room, scaring the little girl, second youngest sister, Hinaichigo, 9 years old and more commonly called Hina by the sisters and everyone, already in the room. She sighed with relief.

"It's only Shinku and Suigintou." The twins walked into the living room too, and Souseiseki picked up the remote. Her sister snatched it off her and said, excited, "That documentary we've been waiting for is so about to come on!" She couldn't turn the channel from Hina's cooking show, because it was thrown out of her hand by Shinku hitting it with her favourite cane, which she had used to open doors when she was younger. She had been really small, and even when she grew up, she still kept a hold of it in case she'd need it.

"I'm afraid not, Suiseiseki. Detective KunKun is about to come on." The teen looked like she was about to cry.

"B-but...me and Souseiseki have been waiting weeks for this thing!" Shinku narrowed her eyes.

"Well, then you can watch it another time. Right now, it is time for Detective KunKun," she said in her snooty, yet sophisticated voice, turning the channel to the puppet show. The brunette pouted while her little sister comforted her. Suigintou snorted.

"I do not understand what enjoyment you get from this childish show, Shinku," she said, almost bored. Shinku glared at her, her ice blue eyes piercing. But, she ignored her, and turned back to the TV. The living room door creaked open slowly, and the youngest, and most timid and shy sister, Kirakishou, 7 years old and called Kira-chan for short, peaked her head past the door.

"Suigintou-onee-sama..." she whispered. The teen ignored the girl, and went back to watching the puppet show with interest the last thing written on her face. All the sisters took up their usual seats; Shinku in the big armchair, nearest the TV, Hina, Suiseiseki and Souseiseki on the three-seater by the window, Suigintou sitting on the back of the big armchair, and Kira-chan on the floor.

Hina sat nearest the window. As much as she loved KunKun, she was bored, so she perked up with interest when she saw the mailman.

"Unyuu? The mailman. Hina's going to get the mail," she said to everyone. The response was that of, 'Sure thing,' 'Hurry back, KunKun's going to solve the case soon,' 'Do we care, puny ichigo,' and 'What Suiseiseki said.' Kira-chan remained quiet, as usual. Hina walked past Kanaria, who was on her way to join the rest of the family, to the door, where the mail dropped through the letter slot and onto the mat. The little girl shuffled through the letters, sighing at the many private school letters addressed to them all. She didn't even cast a second glance at the acceptance letter a cooking school had sent her. But one letter did grab her attention.

"Unyuu?" She blinked several more times, until she gasped happily. She ran back to the living room and threw open the door. This made everyone jump and Shinku snap, "This better be important, Hinaichigo! KunKun is about to solve the case!" The girl gave a few excited hops.

"It is, it is! It's a letter from Father!" The reaction was huge. Everyone, even Shinku, abandoned the puppet show, and scrambled to read the letter. Hina cowered in the hall while they all argued over who should go through the door first.

"Wait!" Everyone stared at Kanaria, surprised at the outburst. She cleared her throat and said to Hina, "Since we are getting nowhere here, could you please read out the letter, y'hear?" Everyone continued to stare at her, making her uneasy.

"Well, I do have my moments, y'know." The stares continued.

"H-how about that letter, y-y'know?" The other girls shrugged and turned to the blonde, who was still cowering in the hall. Hina stood up and cleared her throat before reading the letter out loud.

"'Dear daughters,

I am pleased to tell you that, at the time you receive this letter, I will be returning to Japan and bringing home a surprise with me. I am sure you will all love it. I also bring back some words from your mother. I will relay them to you all when I enter the house. Until then, try not to kill each other.

Father.'" Hina smiled and clutched the letter to her chest while spinning around in circles.

"How childish," Suiseiseki muttered.

"As expected from her," Suigintou murmured. Then, they all looked at each other, and then tried to force themselves through the door. All of them.

"Move! Me and Souseiseki need to get back outside!"

"Well I need to get back to practicing, y'hear!"

"Not in your room you're not!"

"Move, all of you! I need to go upstairs and feed KunKun and Hollie!"

"Yes, those two rags you call puppies!"

"Take that back, Suigintou!"

"That reminds me, I forgot to feed Pizzicato!"

"That stupid bird, you're always forgetting to feed it! It's a wonder it's still alive!"

"You take that back about Pizzicato, Jade Stern!"

"Come now, there is no need to use Suiseiseki's other name," Shinku said, calming down after Suigintou's comment about her dogs. She pulled herself out of the commotion, causing them all to fall forward in a heap. She dusted herself off and walked upstairs, but not before casting a hostile glare at Suigintou.

"Speaking of birds," Souseiseki stood up and brushed herself off. She helped her sister to her feet and turned to the eldest sister, "have you fed MeiMei today?" The teen glared at the younger sister.

"I don't need you telling me when to feed my bird or not. Now out of my way you two baka sterne!" She hissed, pushing between the two. Kira-chan followed after her prickly older sister, not even casting a second glance at the others.

"Honestly, what does Kira-chan see in her?" Suiseiseki asked. Her sister shrugged.

"Never mind that. We need to go back to the garden." Suiseiseki sighed, but followed her sister regardless.


They all gathered back in the living room later, waiting. The other sisters were mostly talking to each other, through clenched teeth due to most of them hating each other, with the exception of Kira-chan, who just stared at Suigintou, and Hina, who had been given the task of watching out for Father. She sighed.

"This is boring. Hina is bored." She blinked, and perked up when she saw something outside.

"Unyuu?" She gasped.

"Father! Father's here!" Everyone stopped their conversations and ran to the window to watch. Out in front of the mansion was a black limo, and Father was stepping out of the back. He was holding something, but none of them could see what it was. When the door opened, they stayed in their seats, waiting. The door opened, and everyone got to their feet and stood in a line, from Suigintou to Kirakishou.

"Welcome home Father," they said, bowing slightly. The man chuckled.

"You may rise," he laughed. They all stood up straight, only to see something move behind his leg.

"Um, Father?"

"Yes Shinku?"

"What is that?" he pointed to his leg. He smiled.

"I believe you mean 'who is that?'." He bent down and whispered, "Come on, don't be shy." Standing up straight again, they all saw a little girl staring at them all from behind his leg. She stepped out and looked up at Father, then at the girls.

"Girls, this is Marina."
