Chapter 1 : Moving in and moving on
Stupid pen , she thought to herself as the pen move in snyc to her hand . Damn it , why isn't there ink in this pen ? She asked herself , for the fouth time while shaking the pen vigorously . One might think that she is trying to coax a snail out of it's shell "Ah !" , the lightly-colored brunette , muttered or more precisely , yelled softly under her breath . Yeah , keep telling yourself that , Ema , she mentally told herself . "Excuse , me , Miss Hinata , would you like some...guidance ?" , the clerk standing behind the brown mahogany counter asked Ema , a slight tone of reluctance was hinted before peering at the form she was suppose to fill in . Looking up at the clerk , then back at the registration form for a room , she realised that she's spent the past ten minutes trying to scribble out the ink of the stubborn blue pen . Smiling nervously , she said , "Uhh...do you have another pen that I could use ?" , she asked , feeling silly as she handed the blue pen over to the now narrowed-eye woman .
"Sure thing , dear , why didn't you ask ?" , the lady suddenly gave Ema a warm smile before handing another blue pen.
"Thanks." , was all that came out of the brunette's mouth before turning her attention back to the white piece of paper that was filled with black . Scanning through the form , she started filling in the form but when the tip of the pen touched the word 'Yes' , she stopped . Okay , I've decided this already plus Ukyo has already chimmed in his opinion . She slowly circled the 'Yes' before moving on to the next question.
"Ukyo-onnichan? Can I talk to you for awhile ?" , she asked as she waited for the lawyer to finish his cleaning up of the dining table .
"Yes , Ema ?" , he smiled warmly at his younger sister . Yes , almost all of his brothers have started dropping the 'step' part from that relationship . Well , all meaning those who weren't in love with her which not surprisingly consists of only Masaomi , Kaname (He wasn't technically in love with Ema but I stll don't trust that perverted monk , thought Ukyo) , Hikaru and Louis . Even our 10 year old Wataru wants her for himself , saying that he'd grow up and be successful before marrying his Oneesan . He laughed at the thought.
"Eh ? Oniichan ?"
"Sorry , Ema , my mind was drifting in the clouds as always." , he says before picking up the plates and heading to the kitchen . When he walked back to her , he noticed that her eyes were a mix of saddness and confusion . "Is there something wrong ?" , he asked , bringing her back to him .
"Oh yes , I wanted to ask for your advice on something since you're a lawyer and you're the most sensible person here."
He blushed slightly when she complimented him , "Uhh..thank you . So what is it ?" , taking a seat next to his younger sister as he draped his arm on the couch frame directly behind Ema.
She looks nervous , he noted as she placed both her hands on her lap , "Well , you know I'm about to start university next month , right ?" , he nodded . She continued , "I've been thinking of doing this lately but I wasn't sure whether it was a rash decision or not . I'm thinking of moving out and into one of the rooms of the dorms at Meiji , just like Subaru-kun." , straight to the point . Not believing what he just heard , he continued staring at her , trying to let her words sink in , "B-But w-why?" , he stuttered .
Was it because she couldn't take anymore of his other brothers advances ? Has she come to a point where she just wants to be alone and not be bothered with ? Many questions and answers flood into his mind as he tuned the world out , he was ready to give all of his brothers a talk or possibly a punch for harassing Ema even after she rejected them . Realising what he's thinking , Ema waved both her hands arm in panic , "No ! No ! No ! It's not because of anyone here ." , Ukyo calmed down a bit .
"Then why do you want to move out ?" , he asked in a calmer tone .
"You're the first person I'm telling this but...I've got a part time job working as a waitress in a well to-do restaurant." , she beamed .
Ukyo was surprised but he was extremely happy for her . His beloved younger sister already getting her first job ! He enveloped her into a loving hug and she reciprocated by hugging him back as well . But he was slightly worried too , being a pleasant looking girl , yes , he used the word 'pleasant' , not wanting anyone to think of him as a perverted brother , Ema would definetely catch a lot of unwanted attention but he can worry about that later , "I'm so glad , Ema ! But what does that have to do with you moving out ?" , she pulled away from the hug he initiated and stared at the glass made coffeetable in front of them .
"I've never lived on my own , not counting the times that I was left alone with Juli while Dad was working , so I think this should be a good experience . Here I have Ukyo-kun to prepare breakfast , lunch and dinner for me . Louis to help with my hair , Yusuke-kun to walk me to and from school and so many other amazing brothers to help me and I appreciate everything including the joy and happiness you've all brought me even Futo." , she held his hand now , looking into his eyes .
She continued , "But there are things I need to do on my own too , I can't forever depend on everyone , I must learn to be independent . This is why I wanted your advice in this because I know in my mind , this is a wide decision but my heart says otherwise as I don't want to see all of you only during the weekends.".
He just smiled , Ema-chan has really grown through this past year in the Asahina residence . She used to beat around the bush if she wanted to say or ask something , afraid of hurting other people's feelings , but now , she's grown into a pleasant , yes , again with the pleasant , woman . She was no longer the timid little rose that was afraid to bloom , thinking she'd stole someone else's sunlight , now she was a blooming flower that was glistening among the others , her beauty inside as well as out was now for the world to see . Unknowingly , he felt his eyes dampen and a tear rolled down his cheek , proud of his little sister for maturing faster that Tsubaki ever did . She panicked , "Don't cry , Onnichan ! I didn't mean to hurt your feelings...Don't cry ! Never mind , forget I said anything , it was a bad decision after all." , she flustered around before Ukyo cried out dramatically , "WEEEHHHHH , Imoutosan has grown up !" , he cries again , this time he was leaning against her for support as he continued his overly dramatic cry.
"Huh...?" , she asked dumb-founded but begin to use her right hand to stroke his head like a child . "Uhh...Onnichan , are you alright ? I'm sorry if I said anything that hurt you." , she apologised again for no apparent reason , she was just trying to calm her older brother that was still sobbing .
"Awww , don't worry your pretty little head about , Ema-chan , Ukyo-kun is just having those once a month melt downs." Suddenly Hikaru pops out from behind the couch , scaring both Ukyo and Ema . Ukyo's sudden cries stopped before he folded his arms together against his chest , "You make me sound like a woman , Hikaru and just so you know , you aren't one." , the blond haired man replied to the cross-dressing man before he flipped his long wig hair , "You're just jealous you don't look good when you cross dress unlike me who can pull off being a beautiful woman and an extremely handsome man." . Before she knew it , both her older brothers begin to bicker about who's manlier . Ema let out a sigh before both men stop for the moment and turned to look at their younger sister .
Being the , uhmmm , professional lawyer he was , Ukyo adjusted his loose tie before straightening his already neat blond hair , "I'm sorry for the sudden outburst , Ema but I couldn't help feel a sense of pride knowing that I , I mean we have helped you grow into the lovely woman you are ." , he said , adding the 'we' part when he heard his two years younger brother cough , intentionally , of course . He decided that he didn't want to risk the disappointed face Hikaru and especially , Ema would give him if he called her pleasant , now would he ? She smiled softly before feeling her cheeks turning a shade of pink slightly when her brother called her lovely .
Ukyo cleared his throat before adding , "And about the move , I think it's a wise and very mature decision to be honest , it is crucial for one to learn how to stand on their own feet . So if you ever decide to move forward with that decision , I shall support you no matter what." .
She smiled widely before getting up , she stood in front of her brother before saying , "Thank you so much." . Just in time to see Hikaru writing something down on a peculiar looking chart of his , sensing Ema's eyes on the chart and him , he says , "Don't worry , sweetie , I heard your conversation here with Kyo-kyo , I shall support whatever decision you make too." , he smiles genuinely before disappearing into the corner of the sitting room . How does he always do that ? Pop out and just disappear ? Ema wondered as she begin thinking of ways to tell her brothers about her decision to move out subtlely.
It's been a few weeks since she told her brothers about moving into a room at Meiji University . They took it quite well , considering the fact that only Wataru cried slightly at the thought of not seeing or playing with his favorite and only sister but Ema quickly soothed him down by assuring him that she would come back during the weekends . Masaomi , Kaname , Natsume and Louis supported the idea , eventhough Kaname-kun begin his endless yapping of flirtatious remarks at her . Saying that being a monk , he doesn't think that the moon will shine any longer as they would be apart now , more than they ever were . Surprisingly , Tsubaki and Azusa just smiled and ruffled her hair , saying that a bird can't always be caged , but of course , it wouldn't be usual without Tsubaki hugging her waist and kissing her cheeks countless times . Yusuke had to pull him away from Ema but Yusuke was pretty apprehensive about letting her live by herself in a university with no one she knows living there except for Subaru-onnichan , but she managed to guarantee him that she would immediately call him if there was any emergencies , which caused the other men to cause a ruckus wondering why of all people , Yusuke was the one she'd call .
She now looked at the door of her new room , here goes nothing , she thought to herself as she slowly twist the doorknob open . She was about to get ready to readjust her eyes for the dark but to her surprise and Natsume-kun's , the lights were on . Natsume whom had volunteered to help her move her things and settle in took a step in to check what was going on . He was about to take another step when a girl , about Ema's age , stepped out of nowhere and almost gave him a heart attack.
"AHHHHH ! WHAT'S A GUY DOING MOVING IN A ROOM WITH ME ?!" , the girl started yelling to find Ema placing her hand over the girl's mouth , "I'm sorry about my brother , we were just shocked to see someone else in the room , I didn't think I'd have a roommate." . Ema then took off the hand she had over the girl's mouth and smiled as Natsume tried to calm his breathing . "Oh Kami.." , he muttered as he re-lived a reason why he couldn't stand girls except for Ema . She was an exception .
The girl had short green hair that reached just below her shoulders which was a deep contrast to her dark brown eyes . She was slightly shorter than Ema but she didn't mind her new roommate being taller , in fact , she has taken a liking into her already . The girl then smiled widely before saying , "Hello , my name is Aoi Ichinose . It's nice to meet you." . She then gave Ema a slight hug . Ema didn't mind people hugging her but she didn't think that Aoi would be so friendly after the brief misunderstanding between her , Natsume and Aoi . But Ema smiled , she had a feeling they would be great friends , "Hey ! I'm Ema Hinata and that is Natsume Asahina , it's nice to meet you too." she replied as she gestured to Natsume that was setting a few boxes down . He grunted in reply , still not liking the fact that he almost died of a heart attack . "Can I call you Aoi or would you prefer me calling you Ichinose-san ?" , she asked the green haired-girl .
"Oh please , call me Aoi , Icinose-san is my dad." , Aoi laughed .
She laughed too before replying , "Okay , Aoi , it is then."
"Sorry about the fright just know ." , she turned to face Natsume who was shaking his head , signalling he didn't take it seriously . "I know this is an intimate question , but are you two lovers ?" , Aoi asked as she stared back at Ema , grinning . Ema immediately blushed before turning away and replying , "No , he's my stepbrother but I prefer calling him my brother." , she said after her cheeks went back to the color of her skin . As the girls started talking , Natsume leaned against the doorframe as his eyes focused on his step-sister , yes , he wants to call her his sister but...he can't . He just can't . No matter what , he still loved her and this love isn't what you'd think it'll be between two siblings . It was more than that , he wanted to be with her , she wasn't like any girl he's ever liked or dated before, she was...special . Even after being rejected , he promised her he would always still be waiting , waiting for her love , her embrace , her warm smile , her kiss...everything about her . He was snapped out of his trance when Ema pulled his hand and showed him her room , she begin talking but he wasn't listening , he was smiling as Ema smiled and talked excitedly about what'd she would accomplish in Meiji . She told him that she'd unpack but he insisted to helping her as her roommate added the finishing touches to her side of the room , smiling at all the posters of the boy bands she loved before striking up another conversation with Ema . He sighs , I guess we'll have to wait and see , he thought.
