Hi! It's me. Haven't finished my old story but here's a new one. Don't hate me Tell me what you think. Don't forget to review!

CHAPTER 1

My name is Kuroda Sakura, 16 years old, currently attending Hyotei Gakuen High School.

"Onee-chan. Ohayou." That's my younger brother Haru, nine years old and attending Hyotei Gakuen Elementary school. He may be only nine but he's still mature for his age.

"Haru Ohayou. I'm almost done making breakfast so can you wake up Ren-nii and make sure he comes down.

"Hai." He said as he ran up the stairs. Soon I could hear screaming from upstairs. "Ren-nii, wake up! You have to go to school today! Breakfast is almost ready!" Soon I could hear two sets of feet coming down the stairs. Behind the short brown haired boy, came a tall black haired male with glasses. That's my Onii-chan, Kuroda Ren. He's 21 years old and a 2nd Year student in Waseda Unversity doing Drama.

And that's my family.

My parents? They passed away 4 years ago. I am sad that they aren't here anymore but at least I still have my onii-chan and otouto with me.

"What's for breakfast?" asked onii-chan as he gave a big yawn.

"We're having Western today, toast, sausages, baked beans and eggs." I said as I place the plates in front of the two of them. "I woke up late this morning so I didn't have much time to prepare."

"Onee-chan, it's alright. I always love Onee-chan's cooking." Replied Haru.

"Arigato, Haru." I loved him so much, he is so cute. And since he's the baby of the family, I felt he needed to be protected.

"Sakura, I'll be late today because of work so don't make dinner for me."

"Onii-chan, are you going to skip dinner? You know it's not good for you."

"Who says I will." he couldn't look me in the eye. Ren Onii-chan was a model. He took the job basically to support us. He is our guardian now that he's an adult. And apparently he inherited that pig headedness from our father, according to our mother.

"Mou Onii-chan. Since I don't have to work today, I'll make a bento and bring it to your workplace."

"Sakura you don't have to do that. I promise to eat something."

"Onii-chan you'll end up lying and say that you ate when you didn't."

"Ren-nii I think it's better you listen onee-chan." Laughed Haru.

"Ya! Haru what do you think you're laughing at." Said onii-chan as he grabbed Haru into a headlock.

"Ah, stop playing both of you. We're all going to be late." I turned to look at the clock. "It's already 8am. Haru, quickly eat your breakfast. Ren-nii you start school at 10 so I'll leave the dishes to you. And don't go back to sleep."

"Onee-chan I'm done."

"Haru, quickly get your stuff and let's go."

"Hai." He said as he ran back to his room.

I grabbed my bag and walked towards the entrance of the house while Onii-chan followed behind me. "Sakura."

"Hmm?" I replied as I put on my shoes.

"Thank you and be careful okay. It's not safe going to Kabuchicho at night."

"Onii-chan it's the least I can do especially since you're working so hard. And when haven't I been careful." He just ruffled my hair teasing me.

"Onii-chan you're messing up my hair."

"Haru, you're going to be late." Said onii-chan trying to change the subject.

"I'm coming." Said Haru as he ran down the stairs.

When Haru finished putting on his shoes, we both turned to Ren-nii and said "Ittekimasu."

"Itterashai."

-That night-

"Onii-chan, I'm almost there."

"I can't go out but I'll send someone to bring you in."

"ok."

"Sakura I've got to go now."

"See you in a while then." With that I closed my phone. I looked at my watch. It was already 7.

Kabuchicho was known as a red light district and since the sun was setting, I'd better hurry to the studio Onii-chan was working at. As I neared the building, I saw some people pacing around looking very worried. I wonder if they are the ones onii-chan said would bring me in. Still there were like 3 people, 1 person would have been enough. Onii-chan must be paranoid. As I walked up to them preparing to speak to them, their face became relieved. "Thank god you're here. Everyone's waiting for you." Without even saying a word, they dragged me into a room and made me sit down on a chair. One of the people who brought me in said "Hair and makeup quickly. We're already behind schedule."

Wait. What?

I quickly tried to explain myself. "Hey, wait. I'm not a model. I'm just here to give something to my big brother."

At the very moment, a young male came in screaming. "Akimoto-san, the female model Karin can't make it. She's down with a fever." The lady sighed heavily and I could see the stress on her face. "Can you find a replacement?"

"I'll try." Replied the male.

She quickly turned to me and said "Miss I'm sorry for the misunderstanding."

"Its fine."

I got out of the chair intending to find Onii-chan but a familiar face appeared. "Izumi-san."

"Oh, Sakura-chan. I've finally found you. How did you end up here?"

"They mistook me for a model."

"That's not hard to believe."

"Where's onii-chan?"

"He's finishing up his solo shots. He was supposed to do some shots with a female model but she seems to be sick."

"So I've heard."

Before I knew it we were already in the studio. I watched as onii-chan pose. Truthfully, I enjoyed looking at him work. Watching him now, you wouldn't think that he was the same nerdy guy from this morning.

"Ok we're done." Said the photographer which snapped me out of my thoughts.

"Sakura."

"Onii-chan."

"Sorry you had to come all this way."

"It's fine. Anyway I made your favourite tempura and korokke."

"Arigato. Let's go over to the other side."

We sat at a table and opened the lunch box. "Is Haru asleep yet?"

"I told him to sleep early but I know he wouldn't go to sleep until 9. But don't worry I made sure that all the doors were locked before I left. I also asked Rei oba-san from next door to check up on him once in a while."

"That's good. Now all I have to do is worry about you. I better call a cab for you."

"Onii-chan I can take the train back. The station's not too far away."

"Still, it's not safe."

"But I promise to be careful."

"Truthfully I was hoping I could go back with you. I'm basically done with my shots but since the female model can't come, it's going to be hard to get a replacement. They might just let me go home if they can't find a substitute."

"Honto?" I know Onii-chan has been working really hard to support the both of us. Because of that he's become a rather famous model. I wanted him to get enough rest. Some people might say that I have a brother complex but the thing is Ren-nii and Haru are my only family left.

"It might happen but don't get your hopes up."

"I understand."

From nearby we could hear someone shout "Where is she?" The voice sounded like it belonged to lady from before.

I saw someone point towards us and the lady started to walk towards us. "I heard that you're Kuroda's imouto."

"Hai."

"I am Akimoto Sara, the person in charge of this photo shoot and the main photographer. I have a favour to ask of you." I could only nod in reply telling her to continue. "The female model that was supposed to come today couldn't make it and we can't find a replacement in such short notice. The thing is we need to submit the shots by 11am tomorrow so I need these photos to be taken by today. Please be our model. You can just follow your brother's lead. It won't be very hard."

"You want me to what?"

"The model that was supposed to do this photo shoot got injured and is now in the hospital."

"But why me? I'm not suited to be a model."

"On the contrary. Even though you have that old fashioned hair style and those glasses, you have wonderful features. And seeing as you are Ren-kun's sister, you should have some of your brother's skills. And if you are worried about remuneration, you will be paid the same amount as your brother even though you have no prior experience. But seeing as we're desperate, we need to make it worth your while."

"Well, I have to admit your deal is tempting."

"No way!" My brother suddenly shouted. "My sister will not model. I will not allow it."

"But onii-chan. It's more than what I would earn at the bakery for a single shift."

"Sakura."

"Please it's only once."

He took a deep breath trying to calm himself and come to a decision. "Ok. Fine but only on one condition."

"We'll do our best to accommodate whatever it is."

"Disguise her." I think everyone just looked at onii-chan, wondering about his weird request. "I don't care. You can give her a wig and give her contacts. Just make it so people won't recognise her."

"Wow, I knew you were overprotective but this takes it to a whole new level." said Izumi-san.

"I just don't want her private life to suddenly become public if people start taking an interest in her."

"I understand where you are coming from. But I still can't understand why you're so worried. Just to be safe, we won't use her real name either. But we still have to put a name on the magazine. Even if it is an alias. So think about it for now. I'll want an answer by the end of the photo shoot." With that she walked off and started to direct people once more.

I too was dragged into some dressing room and felt myself being exploited. They plucked, rubbed and pulled my face and who knows what else. I will admit, I didn't really dress up or put make up much. But I still did some basic stuff like plucking my eyebrows and putting moisturiser everyday (which was bought by Haru and I would feel totally bad if I didn't use it). Was my face in such bad condition? I knew they were doing it for the photo shoot but did they have to use so much strength?

Somehow, after a good half an hour, the hair and makeup coordinators revealed their hard work. I couldn't believe it was me. They'd cover my brown hair with a dark blue almost black wig. I looked so different from my nerdy self.

The two women quickly called Akimoto-san to look at their finished work. She came in and looked at me and looked slightly taken aback. "Wow, you look better than I expected. Miharu-san, Megumi-san well done. Get her into the clothes now."

I followed another woman into another room. I was of course shocked at first when she bluntly told me to strip. I was somewhat reluctant but did as I was told. Truthfully I was really glad I did. The dress she made me put on was really beautiful but seriously complicated to put on. There seemed to be an infinite number of laces and ribbons to tie to who knows where.

I quickly stepped out as I was told and walked towards the set. I could feel people staring. Did I look weird?

Onii-chan got off where he was sitting and walked towards me. "Onii-chan, do I look weird?"

He could only smile and say "You look exactly like Oka-san. A younger version of her anyway."

"Arigato."

"Come let's go." He said as he pushed me forward.

"Sakura-chan." called Akimoto-san.

"Hai."

"You'll be taking some individual shots before taking those with your brother. I want to see how well you do. The theme is 'fantasy'. Don't think too much. Just let your body flow. Since we're on a tight schedule we'll be going on a fast pace. Don't get too overwhelmed. If you need something, don't be afraid to ask."

"Hai!"

"Let's get started then."

~3 hours later~

"Otsukaresama desu" said Akimoto-san, signalling the end of the shoot. "Sakura-chan. Thanks for agreeing to do this. We couldn't have finished today without you."

"Well I'm getting paid. Besides I had fun."

"Depending on how the photos come out, I might request your services again. But seeing how you worked today, it seems you have talent. Maybe even more than that arrogant obnoxious brother if yours."

I couldn't help but laugh at that statement.

"Hey, I heard that." said Onii-Chan as he found himself a comfortable spot leaning on my back while putting an arm around my neck. "And there is no way I'm letting my sister model again."

"We'll see about that." smirked Akimoto-san as she walked off to pack her things. But she suddenly turned back to face us. "Before I forget, have you thought of a name you want to use?"

"We haven't come to a consensus yet though." I told her.

"Well, I actually have a suggestion." We both just started at her egging her on to tell us. "Truthfully, when I first saw you with that hair and makeup, I did a double take. With that coloured wig you looked almost like a famous model. Actually if not for your real hair colour, I might have actually thought you were her. But anyway, I was actually thinking you could use her first name as your alias. I'm not sure if you've ever heard of Hanabusa Yuki."

Onii-chan and I could only smile at that name. "What are you siblings smiling about? She was here before you were born so I highly doubt you knew about her. But seriously, what a waste. She was at her peak when she disappeared." She sighed thinking about that thought.

"We know who she is and why she disappeared."

Akimoto-san just gave us a confused look.

Onii-chan put her out of her misery by saying "Well, she had me."

Yes, our mom was Hanabusa Yuki. She was considered to be one of the top models in Japan. She even did some photo shoots for US magazines. But somewhere along the line, she met out dad, Kuroda Makoto. They fell in love. They found out that she was pregnant and mom didn't want to be a supermodel anymore. She wanted to be a mother. And the rest was history.

Akimoto-san was surprised but soon her shock turned into laughter. "I guess God must be giving me a second chance at my dream then." Now it was our turn to be confused by her words but we knew we shouldn't pry. We just waited till she calmed down, which she soon did. "So what do you think?" We both once again looked at her confusingly. "About my suggestion? Using the name Yuki."

I actually really liked the idea. I turned to face Onii-chan. He nodded.

"That's good. And I actually have another suggestion. Your family name is Kuroda and Kuro means black. So I was thinking that instead of Yuki, you could use BLACK YUKI. Using English would give it a more modern feel and black could give the image of you being an alter ego of the real one."

I felt excited by her idea. I loved it. I looked towards my brother again but instead of nodding he had a look of contemplation on his face. So instead I made the decision. "Akimoto-san I love it. Please let me use it."

"Hey wait I haven't given the okay yet."

"Onii-chan come on. It sounds cool."

Akimoto-san decided to intervene. "Ren-kun, your sister is growing up you should stop being so overprotective."

"Alright fine."

"So that's all settled. I now need to get back to work."

"Oh, Akimoto-san we would appreciate if you didn't let anyone know about our mom."

"Don't worry your secret's safe with me. And expect a copy of the magazine in your mail." She said as she waved goodbye before disappearing.

"Come on let's go home." said Onii-chan.

"Hai."
