The Ties of Family

Ding dong Darien moans as the sound of his doorbell summons him from the dream realm to the waking world. Who in the world could that be? He didn't have any appointments that he knew of, and Serena, Rini and the other girls were off at some girls' summer camp thing, so who in the name of the Silver Millennium was at his door at…he turned over and grabbed his watch off of the night stand and glanced at the time, groaning when his eyes focused…ten in the morning?

Ding dong Again the bell tolled, insistent that he get up and attend to the one who was ringing it. He sighs heavily before grunting as he got up, quickly throwing on a shirt before shuffling toward the door, "I'm coming, I'm coming." He mutters, rather irritable at having been woken up from a rather pleasant dream. Ding dong the bell sounds in reply, almost seeming to mock his bad mood.

Finally he reaches the door, and yawning as he opens the door, he asks, "What is it?"

At first, there's silence, which makes him pause mid-yawn and open a single eye to see who indeed had dragged him out of bed. The sight that greets him is quite unexpected, for he finds two girls standing in his doorway, staring at him like they'd seen a ghost. They were both brunettes with semi-long hair, the taller one with hazel eyes and the short one with blue gray eyes. They could have been fraternal twins had it not been for the obvious height and age difference. They continue to stare at him in such a way that makes him ask a bit uncomfortably, "Can I…help you?"

This seems to break the shorter girl out of her trance, at which time she proceeds to tackle him, yelling, "BROTHER!"

Darien is so shocked by the sudden movement that he can't help but fall backwards, landing squarely on his butt. The taller girl immediately moves to remove the other one from her position on top of him, sighing in exasperation as she does, "Oreasa! I thought we agreed, NO tackling! For Pete's sake, you could've given him a concussion!"

'Oreasa' just glares at her, "I don't care! I wanted to make sure he knew we were happy that we finally found him!"

By this time, Darien had recovered from the shock, and asks uncertainly, "Umm…excuse me, but who ARE you two?"

The taller of the two girls clears her throat before extending a hand to help him up, which he accepts, while saying "Sorry for the shock, we meant for it to be a bit gentler. My name's Meredisu and this is my younger sister Oreasa. To put it bluntly, we're your younger sisters, and we've been searching for you for the past five years."

Darien's eyes widen and he gasps, Oreasa using this chance to talk a mile a minute, "Yeah! We've learned everything we could about you before we came here. We know what school you go to, what orphanage were born at, and that you have a girlfriend." She says, saying the last word with a bit of a singsong quality.

"You're my…sisters?" he asks, barely able to grasp onto cognitive thought. "But the hospital never said…."

Oreasa automatically rolls her eyes, "Oh them, they told US that, since it would be likely that we would be adopted by different families, that it would be best for your 'unstable emotional state' if we not traumatize you with first reuniting with you, then leaving due to being adopted."

Meredisu nods, taking over, "Right, but after a couple years we decided that even if we were all adopted by different families, WE were still family, and WE could still be together, even if we didn't necessarily LIVE together."

Oreasa butts in once again, smiling widely, "And so we started searching for you!" her face then gets serious before whacking him over the head, "You idgit, do you have ANY idea how HARD it was to track you down? You shouldn't freakin' move around so much!" she says, pouting a bit.

Meredisu holds out her hand, smiling, "Come on brother, we've got a lot to catch up on, and I'm sure you have tons of questions."

Darien just stares at her hand for a moment before taking it with a smile as well, using it to help with his getting off the ground while saying, "You've got no clue." He then ushers the two in before closing the door behind them. Once inside,
