If This Happened # 2
"I'm laaaate!" The blonde yelled and several heads turned to face her as she ran at breakneck speed out of the airport, luggage in bath hands. "Damn. damn, dams, damn, damn!" She said under her breath as she ran to a taxi, opening the door. "Here's the address." The girl handed over a slip of paper and the cabbie nodded. The sat down and shut the door as the cab took off.
She stared out the window, her wavy golden hair and turquoise eyes reflecting brightly in the window.
"I'm home, Japan."
"I told you we should have left earlier, Eizaki-nii." A red-haired girl spoke as an auburnet boy frantically looked around for their luggage.
"We had one concert left, Eimi. One. We couldn't just skip out." Eizaki stated as he snatched a suitcase off the conveyor belt, seemingly still waiting for another one.
"What about Ema?"
"She'll understand."
"What about Kasai?"
"She'll be late, too."
"What about Sakura?"
"..." Eizaki blanched a bit, but forgot the question completely as he snatched off another suitcase and handed it off to Eimi. "Let's go!"
They both rushed off through the airport.
A girl with extremely long midnight blue hair approached a brunet girl and man, and a pink haired little boy.
"I'm the eldest, Masaomi. This-" The brown haired man was cut off when the bluenette walked over.
"I'm so sorry I'm late." She apologized, bringing the man's attention to her. He blushed lightly as he took in her appearance.
It was true, she was very beautiful. She stood at the tall height of 5'9 with a curvy figure. Her features were somewhat sharp, but her dark purple eyes were large and slightly downturned, softening the rest of her face. Her lips were dark, naturally near-red colored and in complete contrast with her medium-tone skin. Her hair fell straight down to below her hips, midnight blue, and mysteriously covering her left eye.
"Sakura nee-chan!" The brunette girl exclaimed in surprise. "I thought you were-"
"Ema." Sakura reached out and hugged her. "I'm so glad to see you. How you seen Kasai, Eimi, and Eizaki, or are they late, too?"
Ema hugged her back and answered as Sakura pulled away, "I haven't seen them, so-"
"Oh,"Masaomi spoke up, "If there are others coming, we can wait." He offered kindly. Sakura gave an odd look.
"You didn't know about them or me?" She questioned, causing Masaomi to give an apologetic look.
"No-"
"Well, that's Rintaro for you." Sakura dismissed with a wave of her hand. "He really needs to remember to better inform people, that's too irresponsible of him."
"Nee-chan…" Ema sighed.
"I'm here!" A voice shouted as a golden-haired girl rushed out of a cab.
"Kasai?" Sakura and Ema questioned in sync.
"Hey!" The cabbie shouted in outrage.
Kasai clung to Sakura and blurted out hurriedly, "Can you please lend me some money?!" Sakura sighed in response, but handed her wallet to Kasai, who rushed off to pay a rather angry cabbie.
"Is...that your sister?" Masaomi questioned.
"Adopted, but yes." Sakura answered.
"Then, are you…?"
"I'm also adopted." Sakura answered simply, just as another cab pulled up.
"Here!" A panicked Eizaki exited the cab, a much calmer Eimi paying the cabbie with what looked like Eizaki's wallet and stepping out behind him.
"So are they." Sakura added as she narrowed her eyes at Eizaki.
That made sense to Masaomi, it certainly explained why none of them really looked alike. Sakura looked half-japanese, her stronger features cluing him into a different ethnicity in the mix. Kasai didn't appear japanese at all, maybe French or American. Meanwhile, Eimi and Eizaki looked mostly Japanese, but Masaomi had to wonder what else was in the mix with Eimi's bright red hair. Ema was clearly fully Japanese.
"What made you so late?" Sakura questioned. Eimi subtly pointed to Eizaki and Sakura unleashed her wrath in the form of an interrogation and a lecture as Eizaki grew paler by the second.
"Anyway," Masaomi spoke with a kind smile and all attention was turned back to him, "My name is Masaomi, I'm the oldest." Then he motioned to the adorable kid by his side. "This is the youngest, Wataru."
"Hello, big sisters, big brother!" Wataru greeted cheerfully. Sakura's eyes softened, Eimi greeted back with a smile and Kasai practically melted.
"H-hello." Ema greeted back shyly with a tilt of her head and a small smile.
"Hello, Wataru-chan!" Eimi greeted.
"Hello." Eizaki greeted back simply.
"Nice to meet you, Wataru-kun." Sakura smiled at him softly.
Kasai dropped down and hugged the adorable boy, "You are officially my favorite brother." Kasai said as she hugged him, drawing an indignant, "Hey!" from Eizaki.
"I look forward to living here from now on." Ema, never the one to forget manners, said and bowed. Sakura did the same.
"Eh, thanks for having us." Kasai said in the closest thing she knew to manners, foregoing the bow entirely.
"Us, too!" Eimi said informally, but still bowed and Eizaki followed her lead.
"We look forward to having you." Masaomi replied, not at all phased by some of the rather unorthodox approaches to the formality, with a closed-eye smile.
Juli leaned over on Ema's shoulder and finally made an input, "Hm, these two seem more harmless than I expected." Sakura, Eimi, and Eizaki spared the squirrel a glance, while Kasai jumped up from hugging Wataru and looked at Juli.
"Tell me about it." She replied, receiving warning looks from her siblings and a confused one from Masaomi.
"What are you talking about, nee-chan?" Wataru asked and Sakura, ever the savior, spoke.
"Maybe we should get inside." She stated.
"Oh, of course." Masaomi stated courteously, smiling as he lead them inside.
I have no idea where this came from. I just thought it would be funny to see how they got there on time, since none of them even showed up until a year later in the story.
Also, if you didn't notice the references to the original story: Kasai never having money to pay the cabbie and Eimi always using Eizaki's money.
