A Family of Miracles
Chapter Two: New Family
Hitomi stared out the window, trying to ignore the two pairs of eyes that were on her. She bit her lip, thinking that it was so much easier to ignore others when they weren't sitting right beside you.
This was all so sudden, she thought. One moment, she was just a normal girl left at an orphanage with no name, and the next, she has a family and two brothers.
Hesitantly, Hitomi turned to see the two prying eyes. She glanced at their hair, then at their eyes.
"Hi! I'm Kise Ryouta." The blond grinned, holding his hand out awkwardly for Hitomi to shake. She stared, and slowly grabbed his hand, blinking as he shook it happily.
"Kuroko Tetsuya." The blue haired boy smiled ever so slightly. Hitomi tilted her head.
"Why are your surnames different?" She asked.
Both boys tensed, and shared a look, before looking back at her. "Our family names," Kise murmured, almost sadly.
"We decided to keep them, all for different reasons."
"Oh, that's right. Hitomi, your surname is Daishiro, okay?" Akimi smiled sweetly, tilting her to peer behind her awkwardly.
Hitomi nodded silently, and sniffled, rubbing her nose. "Hitomi-chan," She blinked, looking up to see her new father looking at her through the review mirror. "Is there anything you know about yourself?" He asked, wanting not to upset her or anything, but he was just as curious as his wife was.
"... I know my birthday." She said slowly, feeling shy all of a sudden.
"That's great!" Akimi clapped her hands together, grinning brightly. "Ooh, I know the others will just adore you!" She squealed in that mothering fashion.
'Others?' She thought, before wetting her lips to speak. "My birthday is the 16th, of February."
"Alright, hold that thought! We'll discuss this once we all sit down at the table." Akimi ushered, practically hopping out of the minivan. Hitomi stared; she hadn't even noticed they arrived.
She got out, and stretched. "Oh, dear, you have dirt on you." Akimi smiled, wetting her thumb to rub the dirt off her brow.
"Sorry." Hitomi apologized, angling her head towards the ground.
"Don't be." Akimi laughed, pulling Hitomi along with her. "This; is your new home," She said, motioning to the large house. The five walked inside, and Hitomi was surprised to see four other boys waiting near the door.
A very tall boy held a tray of cookies, a blank look on his face, a shorter boy with red hair and mismatched eyes, a tanned boy with dark blue hair and a sneer on his face, and finally a green haired boy, with glasses.
Hitomi looked at her feet, as Akimi wrapped her arm around her in a loving manner. "And these; are your new brothers!"
After ten minutes, everything was finally in order. Hitomi, her new brothers, and her new parents, were all finally seated at the long table, which could hold up to twelve people.
"Alright," Akimi started, making everyone straighten up in their chairs, except for Hitomi, who stayed slouched forward. "Everyone else here knows the drill, but, Hitomi, you don't. All we'll be doing is sharing basic information with each other, like; our names, age, birthday, dreams, and so on, okay, sweetie?"
Hitomi nodded slowly. "Alright, we'll start with the oldest, as usual." Ren stated, pointing to himself. "I am Daishiro Ren. I'm 34 years old, my birthday is November 1st, the love of my life is sitting right beside me," He paused, only to nudge Akimi, who giggled. "Also, I like pie, I do not like sheep, and uhm, oh, and my dream was to marry Akimi." He grinned sheepishly. Hitomi blinked, and nodded slowly. She turned to her new mother, staring.
"My name is Daishiro Akimi, but my maiden name is Satou Akimi, I'm 29 years old, unable to have any children... Oh! My dream is to be an Art teacher! I adore babies, and enjoy shopping and trying new things. I'm not afraid to hurt anyone." Hitomi stared, slightly shocked. The others only laughed, knowing how true it was.
"Okay, next!" Akimi said. Everyone's eyes turned to Kise, and he grinned widely, standing up.
"I'm Kise Ryouta! I'm 16 years old, my birthday is June 18th, and I really wanna be a pilot when I grow up! I also like singing karaoke, and I really hate earthworms!"
"Midorima Shintarou. My birthday is July 7th, I'm a Cancer, and I'm going to be a Doctor when I'm older. I also hate cats." He tried to keep is as short as he could, frown still glued to his face.
"Shintarou, be more nice to your sister." Akimi huffed, nudging his arm. He stayed silent, but offered a twitcy smile to Hitomi, who only stared.
"I'm Aomine Daiki, my birthday is in August, on the last day, and I'm clearly going to be a police officer. I really don't like bees, because one stung me before. Hurt like a bitc-"
"Murasakibara Atsushi. October 9th. I wanna be a pastry chef, because I love anything sweet and any snack type things... I also don't like women taller than me, but tall enough and I also don't like crows." Aomine gave his taller brother a glare from being interrupted and grumbled to himself as he crossed his arms.
"Akashi Seijuurou. I was born on the 20th of December, and I'm going to be a professional shogi player. I hate disobedient dogs-"
"Sometimes I think he's referring to us." Aomine cut in, smirking at the red haired boy.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Kuroko Tetsuya, born in January, the 31st, and I would like to be a kindergarten teacher." Kuroko liked to keep it short and simple, but again, he offered his new sibling a smile.
"Alright, it's your turn, sweetie." Akimi smiled softly, running a hand through Hitomi's hair.
Said girl nodded slowly, clearing her throat before she spoke up. "I guess I'm Daishiro Hitomi... but before I had no name, other than Mujōna, at the orphanage. Uhm... My birthday is on the 16th of February, and I want to be a robot or an assassin when I'm older..." She trailed off, poking the edge of her seat shyly.
"A robot-" Kise started.
"Or an assassin?" Aomine finished. They all shared a look, before Kise broke out into a grin.
"Like, one of those really big robots? That shoots lasers and stuff?" Hitomi nodded slowly, a weird feeling filling her heart. Usually when she said that, the other kids would make fun of her.
"I think being an assassin would be way cooler." Aomine smirked, finally uncrossing his arms as he mulled over the idea.
"If you become an assassin, could you steal snacks for me, Hitochin?" Hitomi stared at Murasakibara, who was still eating some of the cookies he had made. She felt her cheeks heat up, at the random nickname he gave her.
"Hmm, today's horoscope for Aquarius was: There could be some changes in your home or family life that will be really beneficial to you just now. Some woman, although not necessarily a relative, will have a profound and even spiritual influence on you and other relatives. This is a time when you extend your love beyond your family and take on a more active role in your community at large."
"I've decided. You aren't so bad, even though your boobs are sma-"
"Daiki!" Akimi snapped, giving her son a glare.
"What?" Aomine help up his hands in an innocent gesture, trying to fight the oncoming smirk. Hitomi just sat there silently. She scanned over the six boys, and then her eyes finally landed on a shorter one, the one with red hair, Akashi Seijuurou. He didn't say anything to her, but only gave her a light, intimidating look, before directing his gaze elsewhere.
HOLY CRAP. That is seriously the horoscope today (July 4th) for Aquarius. How can it be so... so close-... that's weird, lol. I'm not even an Aquarius. I'm a Virgo; my birthday is a day before Aomine's, which I think is very awesome. :P
Oh! Also, if no one knew, I'm going by the Japanese school year, for how old they all are, and yeah. Just wanted to put that out there. lol.
And Hitomi, your dream is to become a robot, or an assassin? Someone watches too much cartoons at the orphanage. *Shakes head* I also have a question! Who should Hitomi share a room with, if anyone!?
To bloodymaiden95: I'm pretty sure it was called Brothers Conflict. Anyways, it's really cute, and the guys are all cute and smexy looking *slapped*
