Swiss Family DEAD chapter 1
L.T: Hi-hi, minna-san! This is the first chapter of my newest story, as suggested by LonelyHollow117… what happened to the 116 Lonely Hollows before him, I'll never know… Anyway, this is another HOTD fanfic, but I have no current plans to add lemons unless there is a high demand for them, since the main characters in this story are brothers and sister. They're also O.C's, but please don't hold that against them, they're really lovely people! Ok, enough babbling, and ON WITH THE SHOW!

Their three childen live in Tokunosu, and hope that their parents are safe and well.

And now, for the first time ever, CHARACTER PROFILES!
Collette
Blond-haired and blue-eyed, Collette is the middle sibling, and the only girl in the family. Looks much younger than her age, and often gets mistaken for a twelve-year-old, with a very small figure. Eats like a starving cow, but never puts on weight, and loves to cook, read, eat, and watch anime. Her brothers are the people she cares about most in the world, and they are always nearby. If you mess with her, you'll have to deal with them both!
Dillon
Dark brown spiky hair and ice-blue eyes in a slim face, and an athletic build. He has a burning hatred for all bullies, and has trained in boxing and kendo since age eleven. His medic mother taught him how to treat various injuries, and his father taught him the correct use of a variety of firearms. The oldest of the three, Dillon is also the most mature. He's a calm, cool boy with a serious demeanour, but a wicked sense of humour and slow smile that make him a target for all the girls. He enjoys spending time with his younger siblings, and often allows them to get away with things that their parents wouldn't!
Kyle
Brown-haired and blue-eyed, with a slight tan, the slightly-built Kyle takes after his sister in appetite. Younger than his sister, but taller and broader in the shoulders, Kyle is the talkative one of the trio. Always smiling and almost impossible to upset, the one sure-fire way to piss him off is to make Collette cry. He loves to eat Collette's delicious lunches, and often helps her to cook. Quite a sensitive guy, but don't underestimate him!

COLLETTE'S P.O.V
"DILLON ONII-SAN, KYLE IMOUTO! WAIT FOR ME!" My feet pounded the ground, as I set off running after my brothers, trying hard to catch up. 'Curse my short legs!' I thought, as the lights changed to red. Kyle shouted, "Come on, Collette! We're gonna be late, and it's all because you decided to have a second, and then a third, portion of rice at breakfast!"
Blushing and grinning sheepishly, more from embarrassment then from the running, I called out. "Hey! I was hungry! I can't go to school with less than three bowls of rice inside me! And I had to make your lunches, you meanies!"
Sighing in frustration, Dillon came back and grabbed my hand, dragging me over and leading me across the road. Letting go of my small hand He took my bag from me.
"God, you're so clumsy, Lettie-chan! Why are you so ditzy?!"
Stumbling after my family, I muttered, "I dunno, maybe 'cos you rush me around too much?"
Kyle gently pushed me onwards, laughing. "Stop being so melodramatic, little lady eats-a-lot! You eat more than me and Dillon combined and in half the time it took us to finish eating, so don't you get snippy with me!"
Elbowing him in the ribs, I started running ahead, trying to get there before the both of them. Kyle took off after me, followed by Dillon.
As I ran, my legs pumping, I risked a look back, and gasped. I was in good shape, but those two were something else. They were easily keeping up with me, and now they were overtaking!
"NOT FAIR!" I screamed, putting all my effort into a little burst of speed, hurling myself onto Dillon's back. He didn't even slow down, just kept running, even with me clinging to him. Kyle was still keeping up! My brothers are stamina freaks! No wonder they're both on the track teams for our school.
Our school is actually three separate buildings. Kyle, the youngest, goes to Shintoko junior high, I attend Shintoko Academy, and Dillon goes to Shintoko U. we always eat on the roof of the university building, and it's our secret place.

After the morning assembly, I headed to my first lesson, double math. I hate double math! Our teacher, Komuro-sensei, was a good one, but I was useless with numbers… I almost always struggled in her lessons. Next, I took my bag and ran for the library, on my free-study period. I had a homework assignment I hadn't quite finished, so I sat at a computer and started tapping away at the keys.
"Hey, sis!" Kyle sat next to me, logging onto a PC. He leaned over.
"What're you gotta do?"
I sighed. "An essay for science, little brother. Photosynthesis."
He nodded sagely, smiling. "I… Can't help you with that, sorry."
I slumped in my seat, growling at the screen.
"He can't help, but I can."
Turning, I saw Dillon approaching, his eyes lidded and sleepy-looking. Kneeling beside me, he stared at the monitor, reading through what I'd written, and then smiled. "You say… you don't get it. But you've already covered all the important stuff… looks good, your spelling's improved, too."
Patting my shoulder, he stood and started perusing the shelves, selecting several books. The librarian senpai on desk stared after him, blushing faintly. As she checked out Dillon's reading material, she coyly stared at him, obviously crushing on him, and I felt sick just watching her. Why was she making googly eyes at my brother? I hated that! Turning away, I clicked onto a random page, and promptly ignored most of the articles. Stuff like, 'Increase your bust without pills!' and 'Mysterious sickness originates in the Balkans,' boring things like that. I clicked away, just muddling along...

UNIVERSITY ROOF, LUNCHTIME
"Want another rice ball, oniichan?" I offered the plate around again, but Dillon shook his head. Kyle grabbed one, and bit into it enthusiastically.
"Mm, yum!" he chortled, mouth full. I smiled; I always loved the feeling of making people happy with my cooking. As Kyle munched, I started clearing up the litter. Dillon joined in, and soon the floor was tidied of all the lunch remains.
Sitting together, backs to the railings, we just chatted, meaningless stuff about our day, what we were gonna eat for dinner, and other stuff. I offered to make sukiyaki, and Kyle hugged me.
"MEAT!" he cheered. Dillon slapped the back of his head.
"Stop choking Lettie or she won't be able to cook if you strangle her!" he ordered. Sheepishly, Kyle dropped the hug of death, and grinned like a child.
"Still, sukiyaki's awesome!" he chuckled. Dillon cracked a smirk.
"I gotta admit, Lettie does make the best sukiyaki around!"
Blushing, I stood up and dusted my skirt off, picking up my satchel. "I got class now, and it's P.E. later!" running off, I heard the bell chiming. Lessons were starting...

"God, this is so LAME!" my friend Kotori Kugimiya moaned, her large boobs almost spilling out of her bra as she pulled on her Shintoko Academy regulation sweater. "First, you disappear, so I can't get any of your delicious cooking, then, we have P.E!"
Giggling at her, I mutter, "I disappeared for two reasons. One, so I could eat with my brothers, and two, judging by the size of those melons, I think I've been feeding you too much!" she smacked my butt, and I poked her in the ribs. Then as we started slapping at each other, a substitute teacher came through the door and shouted, "OK! Everyone on the field, five minutes!" I hurried into my kit. Wearing the school sweater and my P.E knickers, Kotori following, I ran onto the field where the rest of the class waited.
Kotori butted me from behind. "Hey... you hear about that new illness? Sort of like rabies? They think it came from the Balkans, but scientists are stumped about any way to control it."
Nodding, I agreed. "Yeah, Dillon mentioned it. Our parents are both in that area, but we spoke to them yesterday, and they're both fine. Kyle's a little worried, but then, he was always a bit immature. He's really grown up, though."
Kotori sighed. "Oh, Kyle's sooo gorgeous! I still can't believe two of the hotter guys in school are your brothers, Collette."
Giggling at her girlish squealing, I started jogging round the field, keeping up with my teacher's shouted instructions. I noticed her wincing a lot, and there was a plaster on her neck.
"Sensei, what's wrong?"
She shook her head. "It's nothing, Daikatsuki-chan. My sister and her baby girl came to visit, and she's teething. She bit me, and ever since then, I've had a sore spot on my neck." Coughing slightly, she waved me on, and Kotori came huffing up, chest heaving.
"Hey! You little flat-chested hamster-girl! Why...why did you leave me behind!?"
Glaring at her, I folded my arms. "Don't ever talk about my chest! It's not my fault I don't have mega boobs like you, you milk-cow!"
Rubbing her chest, Kotori pouted, her lower lip jutting out defiantly. Stamping her foot, she opened her mouth, but-
"Argh... kuh-kuh-kuh!"
Looking round, I saw the substitute kneeling on the grass, one hand on the ground, the other pounding at her chest. A spray of spittle dripped from her gasping mouth... no, it was...
"AAARRRRGGH, FUEEH!" She collapsed, flat on the ground and rolling like a lunatic. A trickle of crimson flowed from the corner of her jaw. She arched her spine, almost forming a 'U', and lay, still as a sack of rice.
"Se-sensei? Sensei, are you ok?!" I whispered, stepping a little nearer to her. Kotori clutched at my arm, argument forgotten.
"Is she…ok?"
I shook her off, and took another step. The moment my foot touched down, another, older, student ran over, and dropped to her knees next to the downed teacher, and began shaking her.
"Mom?! Mom, what happened!? Are you ok? MOM!"
As the other girl was about to shake her again, the sub's arm shot up and seized her by the shoulder. Pulling herself into a seated position, she opened her mouth, and then bit the senpai on the upper arm, ripping through the sweater. The senpai screamed in agonising pain, as the teacher ripped out and devoured a lump of meat. Sempai was Screaming, as she fell over, the teacher moved unnaturally twisting her neck. Flopping over, she grabbed one of the screaming girls legs and bared her teeth again, rearing back to take another bite.
I screamed, and the teacher stopped, turning to me. Her face, it was horrible! Blood dripped from her mouth, and her eyes were rolling in their sockets. Her skin was an unhealthy greyish pallor, and a trickle of clear fluid oozed sluggishly from her ear. Crawling slowly to her feet, she lurched towards me, making a weird, growling noise. I backed away, starting to hyperventilate. 'This wasn't real! It wasn't! People don't die and then start moving!' I thought, my mind screaming to at me to run, run, anywhere but here!
Still staggering backwards, I bumped into something. A tree. I looked, but all the other students had run off, and Kotori was nowhere. By the time I turned back, the once-teacher was only a few feet from me. I knew it then; I knew I was going to die. Staring, I saw the senpai who'd been bitten fall over again. She was weaving side to side, and coming for me too… I slumped against the foot of the tree, closing my eyes, and screamed.
"DILLON, KYLE! HELP MEEEE!"
As the shout left my lips, I felt in my heart of hearts that it was too late. I was already dead; I just didn't know it…
