Praying for love and paying in naivete

Praying for love and paying in naivete, oh

Asahina Miwa stared intently at the TV screen, eyes focused on the brown-eyed girl with the microphone. She stared even more when she noticed the similarities in the girl's features to her stepdaughter Ema. Azure orbs widening with realization, she picked up her phone and immediately called Rintarou.

"Hello? Rin-kun, I may have found our other daughter..."


To say that Tsumi Andersen was pissed is the understatement of the year. She was, for lack of better words, seething and furious. Who wouldn't be, having to suffer from jet lag then getting only four hours of sleep with a huge concert (to be broadcast live all over Japan no less) coming up in the next two hours? And now, when she wanted nothing more than to fall asleep on the fluffy bed at the hotel, their manager pops up to inform them that they have an interview. An at-the-last-minute interview only fueled her irritation.

"Ms. Andersen," she immediately paid attention to the interviewer "I understand that you are half-Japanese. Theoretically speaking, what would you like to say to your family if they're watching right now?" She blinked. Oh boy, she did NOT see that coming.


"I'd probably say hi. And also hope that my big sister is still my big sister..." Ema blinked. There was something familiar about the girl on the screen but she couldn't quite place her finger on it. Yusuke, on the other hand, was hanging onto her every word (then again, he'd been hanging onto every word from the other three as well) kind of like they were his idols or something.

"Why are we even watching this anyway?" Even after two years, Futo was still as snide as ever. But this would probably be one of the only times that she was grateful for his somewhat snarky comments.

Yusuke finally managed to tear his gaze from the TV to reply to his younger brother, "Because they're my favorite band." Well that certainly explained a lot. The three of them sat in silence until Masaomi called them down for dinner. Ema, upon seeing the complete set of brothers before her, smiled contently. She silently prayed that her little sister would never come back and mess things up, for you see, once Ema has something, she gets rather territorial over it. Unfortunately for her, that was one wish that isn't going to come true.
