One fan asked me if Kagome travels back to the feudal era and all, but sorry. She doesn't. It's just that there are so many characters already in the story I am afraid there won't be anymore. But don't be completely disappointed, there is a silver lining of hope. ;)
And thanks to everyone who has read the previous chapter and waited patiently for the next one! Here it is! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: This is a crossover between Brothers Conflict and Inuyasha. I own neither of the characters but the story is mine.
Ema has been living with the Asahina brothers for a year and we all know what has happened. But what happens when Kagome comes to live at the Sunrise Residence? Will things turn out to be for better... or for worse?
2. Messed It Up Already
The car stopped and Kagome looked out. A huge, white mansion stood in front of her. On the azure walls beside the opening for the house, was a beautifully carved nameplate. 'Sunrise Residence…' Kagome thought.
"We have reached!" Ema exclaimed cheerfully, Tsubaki and Wataru joined her. Masaomi smiled. He had always wondered how Ema had managed to be so nice even though the unimaginable things done to her by his brothers.
Kagome smiled but her heart was beating very fast. She was going to meet some men who would now be her family. Ema had told her a lot about them over the phone, sent some pictures but still, a real meeting is different, isn't it?
"You all get off, I will join later after parking the car." Masaomi said.
"OK!" Tsubaki did a salute as if accepting an order from his authorities, exited the car and went to the other side to open the doors for the girls. "My beloved sisters…"
Kagome and Ema got off, while Tsubaki helped Wataru to come out. Kagome straightened her sweater and adjusted her hair slightly. "Do I look okay?"
"You look very nice, Kagome. Don't worry." Ema reassured her with a smile.
"Yep! Onee-san looks very beautiful!" Wataru joined in.
Tsubaki laughed loudly and said, "I think my brothers are going to have a stroke after seeing that another beautiful sister has come to live with us!" As flirty as that comment was, it helped Kagome to ease up a bit. She looked back at the car and said, "M-Masaomi-san, let me help you with the luggage." But she was stopped.
"Don't worry, I and Tsubaki will take care of it. You three go ahead."
"Oh! I also wanted to go with my cute sisters!" Tsubaki let out a shriek.
"Tsubaki…" Masaomi said with a convincing voice. 'Hai, hai', was Tsubaki's reply. He went back to the car but not before winking at his sisters and saying, "See you later."
"Come on new-onee-san! I will show you the house!" Wataru grabbed Kagome's hand and pulled her with him as he ran into the house.
"W-Wataru! Wait a second!" Kagome exclaimed with surprise. She didn't want to go in the house alone. "Ema! Come!" But Ema smiled, coming slowly behind them. 'Oh, don't tell me she wants the Let-her-blend-with-her-family crap!' In moments, Wataru guided her to the elevator and clicked the number 5.
"Directly fifth? Shouldn't we go to the living room first?" Kagome asked Wataru.
"We own the whole building but the first two floors are for rent. We all live on the third and fourth floor while the living room is on the 5th floor." Wataru, very smartly, replied.
"Oh yes, I forgot about that." 'They own a mansion in the middle of Tokyo which is five-storeyed. The first two are out for rent and there are many working brothers with a businesswoman as their mother… man, I can only imagine what their income would be.'
"Just some time and you'll get to meet everyone!" Wataru exclaimed excitedly. "Everyone would be very happy to meet you new-onee-san!"
'I can only hope so…' Kagome thought before talking with Wataru. "Wataru, from now onwards call me Kagome okay? Because now you will have two sisters, you will get confused." 'And as cute as I find that new-onee-san thing, I am sure he will be bored of it soon.'
"Just Kagome? Will it be okay if I call you Kagome-onee-san instead?" Wataru asked innocently.
'What a well-mannered boy he is! Refuses to call me just by my name, even though I told him to. I wonder if all his brothers are gentlemen like him…' (You don't know what a bunch of well-behaved guys this is, Kagome). "Sure Wataru, I would love that." Kagome flashed her genuine smile and Wataru blushed. Just then a bell was heard, indicating that they had reached the fifth floor.
Wataru took Kagome's hand and walked out. On both the sides were walls, which led to a balcony that showed the grand living room below. Wataru walked towards the balcony, standing beside the green sofa and announced, "WE'RE BACK!"
Much to Wataru's unknowing, Kagome had stood back and so no one below could see her. She could hear the chatter like 'Looks like they are back', 'They're back'. Kagome gulped. 'Oh shit, that's a lot of voices! Are all 10 of them down there?! I don't want to go!' Kagome's breath hiked, her throat became dry and her heart started beating faster.
As Wataru led her down the stairs, without even looking she knew that all eyes were on her. A few seconds seemed like hours going on by. She was aware of the silence that spread in the room as soon as she started descending down the stairs with Wataru. At last, they reached the bottom. Kagome, only for one more moment, looked at the ground. 'What a carefully and beautifully furbished floor this is!' She thought and took a deep, silent breath and looked up.
"Hello." 'I can't let them think I am some stupid, shy person… I need to be confident. First impressions are very important.' Kagome let go of Wataru's hand and clasped both her hands together. "My name is Kagome. Very nice to meet you all." She bowed deeply and then stood straight. 'That's not a lot of people… Only four? …' She saw awfully tall, slender handsome male figures and a tint of blush appeared on her face.
'Hey', 'Hello', 'Welcome', 'Very nice to meet you as well' such replies were heard and just then Ema appeared in the balcony. "Wait a second! I want to introduce you to everyone!" She squealed cheerfully and hurried down the staircase. An orange haired guy quickly said, "Be careful!" Kagome took a quick glance at him and then her eyes went back to Ema.
"Everyone, this" Ema said with a sweet smile while she put her hands on Kagome's shoulders. "Is my sister Kagome. Even though she is taller than me, I am six months older. And Kagome, these are all of my brothers… Oh, I am sorry. Our brothers!" No Asahina brothers seemed to notice the change of 'me' to 'our' as they were clearly fixated on the word 'brothers'. (We all know why)
Kagome just shyly nodded and threw a quick glance at them again. She didn't know why, but she couldn't look at each of them individually for a long while and used to divert her eyes again.
"Welcome to the family." A tall, blonde guy came forward. He had a cloth on his right hand. "Was your flight pleasant?"
"Yes, thank you for asking." Kagome quickly replied as she observed his beautiful features especially his blue eyes.
"This is Ukyo-san, he is the second brother. By profession, he is a very esteemed lawyer." Ema told Kagome and Ukyo laughed.
"I don't know about 'esteemed', but I am a lawyer for sure." He said, his perfect face shining. There was something about him, his voice was so calm and collected. Not what she expected from a lawyer. 'He definitely must be making a unique and intimidating impression in the court…' "I have been thinking about how to introduce all of us to you, but then I thought that maybe we all should stand in ascending order of our age and then, we could be introduced to you."
"T-Thank you." 'That actually is helpful, I was already confused about how to remember which brother was of what age and all. I wouldn't even be able to remember their names properly. Perhaps this method will help me… Man, he is a smart person and plus, that killer looks! Oh no, focus Kagome! You don't want to seem like a drooling fool!'
As Kagome was thinking, all the brothers fell into a line as if on cue. 'So obedient…' Kagome observed.
"You might be thinking what obedient and quiet brothers I have… well, it took me some time to convince them to do this. And believe me, they're not even close to being quiet." Ukyo laughed as the other brothers kept silent.
"I am sorry for the inconvenience." Kagome bowed again because from Ukyo's statement it was obvious that they didn't want to do this. Ema took her hand.
"Come on, let's meet everyone." She said and took Kagome forward.
The first in line was a dark-haired guy looking very similar to Tsubaki but had glasses. Kagome noticed that he also had a mole beneath his eyes.
"Hello." Kagome greeted as the guy in front of her smiled and replied in a polite and reserved tone.
"Hello to you as well. I am Azusa, 26 years old and younger than Tsubaki. I work as a voice actor." He gave her a soft smile and Kagome felt a bit more relaxed.
She smiled as well. "That's very impressive! It was my childhood dream to be a voice actor! But as simple as it may seem, it requires quite passion, dedication and hard work, doesn't it?"
Azusa seemed a bit surprised. Not a lot of people thought of his occupation as Kagome did. They always regarded it secondary. He smiled thoroughly now. "Yes! What a surprise to meet someone who does not regard my profession as something low leveled."
"That's the most pitiable thing about people. I think every work is important and all of them are interdependent. Some people might be that narrow-minded, but not me." Kagome added, "I see why you became a voice actor, your voice does seem very cool and very nice for the ears."
"Thank you." He replied shyly.
"Azusa-san is Tsubaki-san's twin brother."
"Well, that wasn't a surprise. You two look very similar." Kagome noted. "What does Tsubaki-san do?"
"He is a voice actor as well, in fact, he was the one who pushed me to become a voice actor." Azusa replied with a smile and Kagome let out an 'Ooo'. 'That Tsubaki guy does seem very pushy. But it's good that his brother is glad to be in the profession and not doing it just because of his twin.'
"Now, moving-on." Ema said as she took Kagome to the next guy. He was also very tall, had orange hair with violet eyes. His face was quite expressionless but was very handsome indeed. He also had a beauty mark but below his lips. He was wearing business attire and Kagome was always attracted towards such suit-wearing guys. She noticed that he was the one who earlier had told Ema to be careful while coming down the stairs.
"This is Natsume-san. He is the eighth brother." 'Wait a second, eighth? Directly eighth? Where did the middle ones go?' Ema continued, "He is also twenty-six years old and is a CEO!" Kagome let out an audible gasp and everyone laughed, even Natsume's face softened.
"I see you are very intimidated by my post." Natsume said as he held out his hand and Kagome shook it. 'A confident and strong grip… not bad.' Natsume thought as he put his hand back in the pocket.
"No, it's just that you don't expect for a 26-year-old to be a CEO of a company, that's all." Kagome honestly replied and Natsume nodded.
"Natsume-san is the triplet brother of Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san." Ema added.
"Triplet brother?"
"Yes," Now Azusa started speaking. "Tsubaki and I came from the same egg while Natsume came from another. I and Tsubaki are identical twins while Natsume is a fraternal one." Kagome let out an 'Ooo' and observed Natsume. 'He does look quite similar… Especially those violet eyes.'
"I hate that every time we are introduced, this story has to be repeated again and again." Natsume said and rolled his eyes. Kagome, with Ema and Azusa, loudly laughed which startled Natsume. Her laugh seemed very lively and outgoing as compared to how shyly and quietly Ema laughs. 'I guess she belongs to the Tsubaki group…' Natsume thought as he remembered his elder brother's loud and unabashed laugh.
Ema moved Kagome to a red-haired guy with small braids that laid on his shoulder. He had a very different, rebellious but warm aura around him. 'A delinquent one… well, I would have been astonished if all the brothers had turned out to be goody-goody, smart fellows…' Kagome immediately recognized him.
"Yusuke! You're Yusuke, right?" Everyone in the room was surprised.
"Y-Yeah, how did you know?'' 'She recognized me out of all people?'
"Kagome, how did you recognize him?" Ema, amazed, asked Kagome.
"I saw your graduation ceremony's photos, remember? So, I immediately recognized him." Kagome continued as she looked at the other brothers. "It's not like Ema didn't show me your photos, but since in the graduation's photos only Ema and Yusuke were there, it was easy for me to know him." She explained. "Is it okay if I call you Yusuke?"
"Y-Yeah, s-sure!" 'He is startled, so cute!' Kagome thought with a smile.
"Ema has told me a lot about you. She told me you're very understanding and made her feel very comfortable." Yusuke blushed profoundly but beamed with happiness as well. 'She talked about me…' The girls and Yusuke didn't see the reaction of the other brothers though, who were surprised to see none of this happened with them. "I hope to have enjoyable college days with you Yusuke." Yusuke nodded confidently and gave her a smile.
"And what about me? Did onee-san tell you about me?" Wataru, who had stood next to Yusuke, asked eagerly.
"Wataru-kun, why are you standing in the line? Didn't you meet Kagome already?" Ema asked with a chuckle.
"Yes, but I wanted to formally introduce myself." He turned to Kagome and said, "Kagome-onee-san, I am Wataru, the youngest Asahina brother." Kagome chuckled as she noticed how formal and charming he was trying to sound. "I am currently in middle school and I hope to get to know you better." He said and shook hands with Kagome as she did with Natsume earlier.
"Wow, a hell of a grip! Seems like Wataru is the most intimidating personality in the whole family!" Kagome exclaimed and Wataru smiled brightly. Everyone else laughed at this. "I also hope to get to know you better." Kagome said with a warm smile and patted Wataru's head.
"Oye! Are you all done with introductions already?" Tsubaki asked as he descended the stairs.
"What were you two doing till now?" Azusa asked as Masaomi also came down.
"We were taking out her luggage and parking the car and everything, so it took us some time."
"You should have called me, I would have come to help." Natsume said.
"Don't worry, everything is done." Masaomi told him and turned to Kagome. "Your luggage is upstairs, in your room. Here, this is your key." Kagome took the keys and again apologized for the inconvenience. Masaomi told her not to worry and sat down on the sofa.
Tsubaki came and put a hand on Kagome' shoulder. "Now now, don't apologize little sister. If anybody has to apologize, it should be Rintarou-san."
"What? Why?" Kagome asked, dumbfounded.
"He should apologize for hiding such a cute daughter from all of us." Tsubaki replied and winked. 'This guy winks too much!' Kagome thought and Azusa came near them, removed Tsubaki's hand from her shoulder. "Tsubaki, don't make her uncomfortable. Come on, let's eat."
Everyone sat on the plush red sofa, with Ema on Kagome's right side and Wataru on her left. On the further left sat Masaomi and Natsume while on the right sat Tsubaki, Azusa, and Yusuke. Just then, Ukyo came from the kitchen with hot teas and snacks. He kept the tray on the table and Kagome noticed beautifully arranged snacks which included watercress, crab and roasted capsicum ribbon sandwiches, delicious strawberry tarts and for a little change from the sweets there were lemon yogurt syrup cakes.
"Wow…" Kagome openly expressed her amazement and hunger for the mouthwatering snacks.
Ukyo smiled and handed her a Black with Vanilla tea. "Thank you." Kagome mumbled and looked down at her cup. "Is this…"
"Yes, I was told that you are very much fond of a Black with Vanilla." Kagome looked at Ema and she smiled. "So, I thought it would be very nice for your welcoming." Ukyo said.
Kagome noticed that he gave a coffee to Natsume and Azusa while Masaomi received a freshly brewed Assam Khonega and Ema was given a Zesty Lemon. Tsubaki drank the same type as Kagome, and Wataru was drinking a fruit juice. Yusuke took nothing as he wasn't a big fan of teas and all.
"So many drinks… did you make all of these?" Kagome asked.
"Yes, I did." Kagome, who still hadn't recovered from the shock that Ukyo had made such exquisite and efforts-taking teas, she received another as she sipped her tea. "Oh my god!" Kagome exclaimed in English.
"So, it's good, I am guessing?" Ukyo asked politely.
"Good? This is fantastic! It's perfect, actually!" Kagome exclaimed and others smiled. Ukyo replied, "I am glad you have been able to enjoy it. It certainly puts me at ease."
"Have some snacks as well." Masaomi told Kagome as he enjoyed the lively girl. 'She is very different from her sister… So outspoken and energetic… She has something that keeps you engrossed in her.' He thought.
Just as Kagome was going to choose one snack, Wataru also jumped from the sofa to take some.
"Wataru, let your sister take some first. That's not very polite." Masaomi warned in an older-brotherly way. Wataru gave out a pout.
"Oh no, that's okay. The youngest one should have the first preference anyways." Kagome said with a smile and had replied in English again, and not just English but in a perfect British accent. "Go on, Wataru. Take some and please do tell me which ones I should eat." He took some strawberry tarts and lemon cakes and gave some to Kagome as well. "Thank you."
"I see, you are very fluent in English, but I guess that's very obvious since you have been in England ever since your childhood. But I am surprised to see that your Japanese is so well." Azusa remarked.
"Yes, my mother always told me to speak in Japanese at our home." Tsubaki finished his tea and kept it on the table and so did Natsume. "The only thing she is very strict about is speaking in Japanese."
"But it was very surprising to learn that Rintarou-san has another daughter," Ukyo said as he also sat down with his own tea that was the same as Masaomi's. "It became known to us only a while ago however our mother seemed to have known about you since the beginning."
"Yes, I did meet your mother. Intriguing lady, I must say." Kagome said as she took the first bite of the lemon cake. "And she wa- oh my god! This lemon cake is fabulous! It reminds me of the cake shop near my school back home. Where did you order these from?" Kagome asked as she took another bite.
"We didn't order them, Kyo-nii made them." Yusuke replied casually.
"Kyo what?"
"That's me, my younger brothers call me that. We all have such nicknames."
"You made this?" 'I mean, up till tea was okay, but he made these heavenly delicacies as well? If this was a restaurant, I would have kissed his hands right away! The cake is so tasty!'
"Yes, cooking is one of my responsibilities in the household. I am very flattered that you find my creations appealing."
"They are amazing! Boy, you are really good." 'That explains the cloth on his hand... just shows how much he is into and devoted to cooking.'
"That's enough compliments for Kyo-nii." Tsubaki interrupted. "I would like to know more about our cutie sister."
"Are you going to refer me with cutie or cute sister only? You can call me Kagome, you know. In fact, I insist so." Kagome said. 'Those words out of his mouth really seem weird… cutie sister, lovely sister and blah, blah, blah! Does he do the same with Ema as well? Well, I don't know how she deals with him when he calls her such names…' Everyone was surprised to hear such a straightforward proposal from Kagome. 'As expected from her.' Tsubaki thought with a smirk and continued,
"Okay then, Kagome. Tell me something, how come you didn't come to your father's wedding?" Tsubaki dropped the bomb right away while the brothers remained quiet. 'Ts-Tsuba-nii! Did he seriously just ask her that? Right now?' Yusuke screamed from inside and so did the other brothers except for Wataru, but it was a question many of them were pondering about.
Before someone could scold Tsubaki, Kagome started speaking herself. "Yes, I didn't. I wanted to, it was Papa's wedding after all. But my final examinations were going around that time and so, flying from England to Japan became impossible."
"Oh! I thought it was some 'Dad marrying step-mother drama' or something like that." Yusuke blabbered before he realized what he had said and got glares from everyone.
"Still, the wedding could be postponed. I am surprised they didn't think of that." Natsume quickly said as an attempt of foreshadowing Yusuke's remark.
"Papa and Miwa-san talked to me about it. But I insisted that they must have the wedding on the planned date. They had been preparing for the wedding since months and it was an unfair coincidence that my exams were announced during the same time." Kagome replied and now started eating the strawberry tarts.
Everything became quiet for a while until Masaomi asked something. "So… is your mother okay with you living with us?"
This time, Ema replied while Kagome kept on devouring the tarts. "Mom had no problem at all. She and Papa have always been on good terms ever since the divorce. And you all are now family as well. After the divorce, my custody was given to Papa while Kagome was with mom. I have been living with you all. But Papa felt that Kagome should re-join her actual Japanese roots and spend some time with me and him, and meet all of you- he suggested Kagome come live with us." Everyone noticed that Ema had used the term 'Mom' for her own mother but technically Miwa was her mother now, but nobody seemed to mind it.
"I am sorry for intruding; however, it is surprising that since your father is mostly away, you were left with him." Ukyo remarked.
"Yeah, but I was ten years old then so I insisted on living with Papa. Mom was quite unhappy as she thought that my arrangements and care would be neglected but she agreed. It was a part of the divorce case anyways, that both daughters shouldn't be with one parent." The living room became silent as some drank while some munched on the food. Natsume looked at Kagome and saw that she was staring intently at her plate.
"Is something wrong?" Kagome, startled, looked at him for a while thinking whether she should speak or not but she did anyway.
"Um… I was just wondering if they teach a wrong numbering system in England." She received questioning glances in return. Kagome added, "Because Ema told me that there were thirteen Asahina brothers but I see only seven now…"
The room burst into laughter, even Natsume let out a laugh, much to everyone's surprise. After some seconds Azusa said, "You've got a really good sense of humor."
"No, they don't teach a wrong numbering system in England," Masaomi informed with a chuckle. "Many of my brothers are out for study and work purposes. But you'll get to know them very soon." Kagome nodded and smiled. 'Seems like I am already a hit in the family! You go, Kagome!' She thought as she remembered how much they laughed at her joke.
Wataru kept down his glass (Which had been his third juice refill) and joined the conversation. "What are your hobbies, Kagome-onee-san?"
"Um… I like to read. I also love traveling- being outdoors, actually." Kagome added. "I also like to play tennis."
"Kagome won the high school championship of tennis, she plays very nicely." Ema announced with pride while others nodded and Kagome blushed.
"And, do you like to play video games?" Wataru mentioned his own interest.
"Yes, I do!" The younger boy seemed a bit confused by this but kept listening. "I love video games very much and I like to think I am an expert in them." She said and laughed, and others realized she wasn't being proud but was just joking.
"Really? Then do you like 'Zombie Hazard' game?" Wataru asked and Natsume, who was first leaning with his elbows on knees, straightened and leaned on the sofa. (For those who don't know, Natsume's company makes the game 'Zombie Hazard.') Ema, who remembered something, let out a small gasp (inaudible) and was going to stop Kagome.
"Kag-" But Kagome spoke anyways.
"That game? Ema's favorite?" Kagome asked and Natsume blushed slightly. Ema was tugging on Kagome's sweater but the ebony-haired girl ignored it. Tsubaki took some juice (He is awfully quiet, isn't he?) while Azusa was eating the sandwiches along with Yusuke as they heard the conversation.
"That game sucks, dude." Tsubaki spat his juice all over the oak table while Yusuke choked on the sandwich. Azusa somehow managed to swallow the sandwich but all of them had widened eyes including Masaomi and Ukyo, and they looked at Natsume, who maintained his expressionless face. Kagome looked at them with surprise for their weird reaction but continued anyway. "I mean, everywhere you see there are zombies, zombies, and zombies. So boring. Wait Ema, I am talking. Don't interrupt me. So, I just played that game once when Ema recommended it to me 2-3 years ago and I just sold that game to my friend. That's how much I didn't like it. A truly ghastly game. I wonder how so many people play it."
Natsume woke up from his seat and headed towards the outer balcony. "I have to make a call." He said. Tsubaki started laughing out loud while holding his stomach and everyone else sighed.
"What? You also don't like that game?" Kagome asked as she saw Tsubaki's reaction.
"No, but I like you more now!" He said and continued laughing.
"What's with him?" Kagome asked Ema but the brunette became worried as she saw Natsume's reaction.
"Kagome!" Ema exclaimed. "Natsume-san's company makes 'Zombie Hazard'!"
"WHAAAT?!" Kagome shouted and stood up. "Are you serious?"
"Yes, she is." Masaomi said with a helpless smile.
"I thought he was the CEO of some multinational company!"
"It is a multinational company. Zombie Hazard is one of the games his company produces." Azusa told her.
"Oh shit!" Kagome exclaimed and Tsubaki laughed more. 'This one-eyed tyrant is getting on my nerves now!' Kagome thought while gritting her teeth as she watched Tsubaki laugh. No one took offense to Kagome's exclamation as Wataru was now in middle school and 'Oh shit' was not that much of a big deal. "This is all your fault Ema! You were the one who thought that I should know about these people when I actually meet them first-hand. If you had told me before, this wouldn't have happened!"
"But I thought-"
"Or you could at least tell me about this! You know how much I hate that game and I will be living with a person who produces the game! Did you think that this topic might've never come up?"
"I am sorry, Kagome. I thought it would be fun to all of them in person." Ema apologized with great sorrow and the hearts of all men in that room melted.
Kagome sighed and realized it was not Ema's mistake. "No... No, it's my fault actually. You were trying to tell me but I didn't pay attention. Sorry." Ema smiled and stood up.
"Don't worry, Kagome," Ukyo said her name, but it felt somewhat foreign to him. "Natsume won't make a big fuss of it." He gave her a smile and left the room with the trays and cups.
"I think the same. We all are family and such things happen. Natsume is very understanding and I am sure he didn't mind it at all." Masaomi said lovingly like a big brother and patted Kagome's head. Kagome felt so much at ease due to such a sweet gesture. He also left the room while only the youngsters remained.
"Kagome, don't worry. Natsume said he was going to make a call, right? Nothing to be so much dreading about." Azusa relieved her and turned to Tsubaki to make him stop laughing.
'But still….' She thought and her eyes moved to the balcony where the 26-year-old CEO must be.
How is it? Exciting? Let me know in the reviews! Bye!
