It was almost noon; breakfast had passed by without the second and sixth brothers' presence, but no one seemed to mind it. The four remaining brothers were hanging out in their bedroom, each one doing their own thing, until Choromatsu's voice broke the silence.

"Hey, Osomatsu-niisan, don't you think Totty has been in the bathroom for too much?"

There wasn't an answer; the eldest just kept reading his comic as if he hadn't heard him. The thirth brother decided to be understanding and searched for opinions in the other two; Ichimatsu shrug and continued playing with his cat, while Jyushimatsu, next to him, shifted his gaze several times between the two middle brothers an then fixed it on the red-clad one.

"You are right, Choromatsu, someone could want to use it; like, for example, me now."

And, not saying any more, he stood up and headed towards the door, leaving his old parther in crime a little confused. Osomatsu wasn't stupid; simple, of course, but not stupid. He knew perfectly why he had asked that. Nevertheless, when the firstborn Matsun was about to leave the room, their father got in his way with a mixture of joy and anger on his face that couldn't be anything but surprising for them.

"How is it that you didn't tell us Todomatsu turned into a woman? You should say such things, man."

"Eh?, so the bathroom is free now? I'll be right back."

A sweatdrop slided down Choromatsu's forehead because of how little seemed to care his brother about some things. Finilly, after sighing, he replied to sis father:

"We're sorry, we don't..." Yet he was interrupted by Jyushimatsu, who sprang to his feet falling before Matsuzo.

"Where is Totty?! Hustle, hustle! Muscle, muscle!" He shouted cheerfully.

"She has gone shopping with your mother, since he is a woman now she needs other type of clothes." His father answered with a ear-to-ear smile, something a bit weird to see on him.

Jyushimatsu looked at him disconcerted, doing 'Eh? Eh…?' sounds, while the others loked at him beweirded. At that exact moment, Karamatsu got with them, yet he didn't come from the roof but from downstairs.

"Ah, Karamatsu-niisan, I was wondering why we weren't hearing your guitar. Where had you been?" Choromatsu questioned curiously.

"I was only doing every big brother's duty: aid their little ones when they need a mainstay that could give them the needed courage to overcome that colossal enemy that fear is." He said as if he was boasting of a great archivement; causing everybody to look away from him immediately, ignoring him instead.

"Hey, guys!" Since he was running, Osomatsu missed the door and crashed into the end of the hallway, but returned to the door immediately. "How about we go to Chibita's to celebrate we have a new sister?"

Everyone agreed and rushed off, some more than others, to the main door. The two eldests were the last ones; when Karamatsu was about to start walking, Osomatsu passed by his side and gave him two quick pats on the shoulder before getting ahead. The second one didn't understand what was that for, yet he followed their brothers on their run.

"I'm glad you are happy for your sister." Matsuzo thought naively while observing the empty hallway.


The journey to the oden stand had elapsed between banal topics, with no more setbacks than usual: Ichimatsu getting distracted by some cat, Osomatsu leering the girls that passed by, Karamatsu sputtering his phrases everytime he could and Jyushimatsu... being Jyushimatsu. When they arrived, it all continued as quiet as normally, between fights over food and arguments about anything; being them, this was too peaceful.

"And, what are you celebrating? Did you finally get a job, damn it?"

That was the question that unleashed Armageddon.

"Ah, Totty turned into a girl, so now we have a sister." Choromatsu answered; fake calm camouflaged in his usual gesture of concern.

"Ah..." Chibita didn't give it so much thought until he noticed what he was said. "Your brother becomes a woman and you go out to celebrate?!"

The five of them nodded simultaneously, without looking away from their food. Behind them, a dog passed running followed by a woman that was calling him.

"Armageddon, come here!"

"Did you not think how he is taking it?! The hell?! You idjits! Damn it!"

"Armageddon!" Jyushimatsu claimed and, acting as a dog, she went to chase the other.

"Hey, relax, Chibita. It's Todomatsu, it's shouldn't bother him that much." Osomatsu replied calmly.

Karamatsu was about to say something, yet his older brother's previous words provoked his friend to bang on the table, making the oden's boiling sauce splatter. A bit of it landed on Ichiamatsu's hand who, reacting like a cat, startled Karamatsu making him fall of his seat. No one cared about it.

"The hell?! You idjits! Damn it! The hell?! You idjits! Damn it! What kind of brothers are you?! Do you even know how to treat a girl?"

Silence. For a few seconds, interchanging looks and thoughts ; until Choromatsu snapped too.

"Who are you to say that?! It isn't a ramdom girl! It's still our brother!"

Meh... He doesn't need any special treatment, we'll just treat him the same as always." Osomatsu declared, which the rest nodded to.

"But, burazas, even if we see her like that, who will save her from the accusing gaze of society?"

"Eh… I don't understand. Ichimatsu, you know what is he going on about?" The eldest asked.

"Uh... That people might...? Wait, why are you asking me?!"

"Now that you say it, Totty cares so much about how people see him; that does is a problem. Moreover, they could take advantage of how sociable he is." Choromatsu showed his concern again.

"That's what I was saying, idjits." Chibita said a little bit more clam since they were starting to see his point.

At that moment, Jyushimatsu returned with several scratches carrying a baseball-shapened dog toy in his mouth. He looked at everybody, surprised by the strange mood that had formed around them, and suddently he spitted the ball and tucked it in his hoddie's pocket.

"What are those faces for?! Totty can manage it! And if he needs any help he has us! Hustle, hustle! Muscle, muscle!" The fifth one exclamed, before jump on his seat and start devouring food as if it was nothing, leaving the others puzzled because he knew what they were talking about, yet they were glad that he relieved the tension of the moment.

"That's right, the damn guy has five bodyguards." Osomatsu joked letting out one of his typical laughts.

A good mood spreaded at Chibita's stand and, in quiet agreement, they decided they wouldn't talk about that topic anymore. They were his brothers, they would know how to take care of him... They would, right?


Todomatsu and his mother spent all afternoon shopping, you could see them carrying bags from here to there, he had already loss count of how many clothes he had tried on and there were so much more shops to see yet. He was starting to get tired, even though at first it seemed like a good idea to him, now he believed his mother had got way too exited with his temporal state, but he didn't want to spoil her illusion or the mother-son (daughter?) bonding moment they were sharing.

"Oh, look at the time! We have to go back home, I still have to make dinner." Matsuyo appointed. "It's a pity, we'll have to come again another day.

"I don't think it would be necessary, mom. These weird things that happen to us don't use to last more than one day." Totty replied unable to contain a relieved sigh.

"Well, you can always crossplay and your brothers too, maybe that way it would be easier for you to meet girls."

The day-dreaming look on his mother's eyes caused a sweatdrop to slid down Todomatsu's nape; she really was willing to do anything to get grandchildren or at least they leaving to live in another place, but that didn't mean they were too. Although, maybe any of them WAS desesperate enough...

"What is wrong, daughter? You seem worried." His mother asked after a while, when they were already on their way home.

"Eh... No-nothing. I just was a bit worried for my brothers." She looked away to conceal the little doubt that assaulted him when he was called 'daughter'.

"Don't worry, I'm sure they will be as excited as your father and me to have a sister."

"That is exactly what worries me, they being way too excited." He thought as the memories of the audition for his mixer passed through his mind.

He felt a chill run down his spine as soon as he eyed his clothes; since he didn't have any others before leaving, he chose wearing the ones the used to test his brothers. Definitely, he didn't want it to happen again, neither that or that morning's issue. His gaze turned dark suddenly, remembering how both situations ended.

"We're back!" His mother shouted as they arrived since Totty was so distracted he didn't notice.

"Welcome." His father replied from the living room.

Matsuyo accompanied him to leave the bags in his room and then she headed to the kitchen. While he was putting them away, Ichimatsu entered the bedroom and sat on the couch hugging his legs. This time there weren't any cats with him, he was only there observing her, what was quite spooky with the dark aura he always carried around.

"Hey, Ichimatsu-niisan, do you know where the others are?"

Suddenly, he got so nervous, began sweating too much and shaked his head frenetically muttering 'no's before hiding his face behind his knees. Totty sighed when he saw it.

"Same as the other time." He mumbled.

Too many negative thought were running through his mind at that moment; perhaps it was because, as well as Jyushimatsu's aura cheered you up, Ichimatsu's made you feel down. He decided to concentrate on the clothes in order to not divagate more in that uneasiness that was starting to stir his stomach.

"Yo, Todomi!" Someone greeted hugging his waist from behind.

"Kyaa! Le-leave me alone, Osomatsu-niisan!" He shouted startled by the sudden closeness. "And what are you saying of Todomi? I'm Todomatsu."

"Don't be like that, I was just kidding." He laughed, ignoring deliberately the last part.

"Hey, sisuta, do you need any help?" Karamatsu spoke moving between them surreptitiously.

"Yes, thank you, Karamatsu-niisan."

Soon after, the missing ones arrived, yet, since the two eldests' arrival, Todomatsu kept frowning: the bad thoughts didn't leave him and hearing them refer to him as a girl only made it worse.


Dinner passed by normally, as much as it could in that crazy house, except for Totty skipping dessert so he could go change his clothes before his brothers. He knew how pervert they could be, even being his brother in a woman's body, and preferred to avoid any embarrasing moments. He finished just in time, because they didn't happen to think of knocking on the door before coming in, not like they used to do it though. Totty helped to set the futon, noticing how nervious Choromatsu was by the trembling of his hand while placing it on the floor.

"Is something wrong, Choromatsu-niisan?"

His gaze wandered among the others briefly and then it got locked on her eyes, being as serious as he could muster. The rest turned to them in curiosity.

"Uh, I wondered if..., I mean, are you going to sleep with us?" He had to correct his speech as he reminded who was he talking to.

"What? Of course, I'm not mad at you anymore." Todomatsu answered naturally.

"Ah, so she was mad?" Osomatsu couldn't keep his mouth shut and thought it would be nice to take adventage of the situation teasing his little brother.

"You better shut up, niisan. I'm not in the mood."

The others looked at him in beweirdment by the reply and then stabed the oldest with their sharp glares; seeing swords and other weapons appearing out of the blue surprised no one. Totty knew he was contradicting himself, but he didn't care; suddenly he just wanted to sleep and know nothing of anyone. He hoped the next day everything would be solved, so he occupied his usual spot and closed his eyes hard. The rest imited him immediately, with different expresions on their faces, yet everyone was showing or hiding their concern for the youngest; the only one that looked truly calm was Osomatsu.

"I can't sleep." Totty thought, looking the relaxed expression of the eldest sextuplet. "Could it be true that they prefer me as a girl? Our parents made it clear even before this happened, but they..."

His train of thought was cut as he saw Osomatsu move around and reach out to touch his chest showing a perverted smile. Totty pulled himself back containing a scream and, as soon as he did this, he bumped into Karamatsu; he didn't even flinch, just kept sleeping facing the ceiling with his lips slightly open, letting out a little snoring every now and then that was totally elipsed by Jyushimatsu's.

"Osomatsu-niisan won't ever change." He told himself glaring at him before sighing. "At least, Karamatsu-niisan does treat to help me, he has been there from the start."

And as if being invoked, the second turned to face Totty, sliding one of his arms around him. The youngest got surprised, but then smiled starting to feel sleepy.

"Anyways, I have nothing to worry about, this won't last that much."

With this thought he placed his hand on Osomatsu's reaching one, before closing his eyes. When he was about to fell asleep he felt a light squeeze from the eldest, yet he hadn't time to question if it was true or his imagination, since Morpheus had already taken him into his welcoming embrace.


Author's note:

Hello!

Here is the chap 2. I decided to leave several things to free interpretation like the series do. If you didn't notice, the bold words are to emphasize them and the italic words are mispronounced words, if there is any text or recorded message I'll write it underlined. I'd like to add that, no matter what they had said at Chibita's, everything is 'easier said than done' and I'll leave it there XD

Please, if you like the story leave some reviews, seeing your opinions give me ideas and makes me able to update quicker, furthermore if I write when I'm motivated the chapters use to be better.

Sayonara!

Translator's note:

So... Yeah. Sorry for any mistakes. I think this one is a little bit funnier than the last one, but it may have lost part of that in the translation. Help me 😥
