DISCALIMER: I DO NOT OWN BROTHERS CONFLICT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM

"Hey," Ema heard Yusuke ask as the two of them walked home together after school.

"Uh yes?" she said.

"How did you do on that math quiz?" asked Yusuke.

"I think I did pretty well," said Ema, "How about you?"

"Uh I think I did pretty well too," said Yusuke sheepishly.

"You did seem to be studying pretty hard for it," said Ema.

"Uh you noticed huh?" said Yusuke. He took a deep breath while he thought.

'Okay she's noticed you've been putting more effort in when it comes to studying. The next step is to ask her to try studying together. Come on you can do this!'

"So," he started to say, "You ever think we could consider...,"

"Curse you wolf!"

"Huh?!" Yusuke managed to shout right as Juli came sailing down and landing on his face. He hadn't realized he and Ema had arrived home and into the courtyard.

"What do you think you're doing, walking so close to Chi like that!" Juli shouted as he pulled at Yusuke's hair.

"Juli!" Ema shouted in alarm before trying to pull Juli from Yusuke's face.

"Chi, I've told you time and time again you can't let yourself get too close to these wolves less they move in for a strike!"

"Juli, we were just walking home from school. Nothing happen," said Ema assured her little pet.

"Oh hello welcome home," said Masaomi walking out of the house.

"Hello Masaomi," said Ema.

"You're both home just in time," said Masaomi, "We're expecting a call from our parents. They say they have something really important to tell us all."

"What is it?" Ema asked walking in along with Yusuke.

"I'm not sure but Mother seem most insistent that as many of us be here as possible and as it turns out everyone managed to show up," said Masaomi.

"Everyone?" said Ema looking around the massive living room to see that all of the brothers were there, even Natsume and Futo.

"I hope this doesn't take too long. I have more important things to do," the pop star complained.

"I'm sure it won't take too long," said Masaomi as he placed a phone on the table and hit a button.

"Sis, sis, you should come sit next to Me!" Wataru insisted pulling Ema to the couch. The phone rang for a little bit before they could all hear the phone being picked up.

"Hello?" came their mother's voice.

"Hello Mother," the boys all said at the same time.

"Uh Hi Miwa," said Ema.

"Oh, I can hear my sweet little girl's voice!" said Miwa, "And it sounds like all of my boys are there too."

"Yes Mother we all made it," said Masaomi.

"Even Natsume and Futo?" asked Miwa.

"Yes Mom we're here," said Natsume, "Now could you please tell us what's going on?"

"Oh right," said Miwa, "Okay here it goes, your father and I are in love!"

"Isn't that what most couples want to be?" asked Futo.

"No, no, that's not what I meant, even if we're as much as love as when we met," said Miwa, "What I meant was your father and I have met and just fallen in love with a little girl from an orphanage."

"An orphanage?" Ukyo spoke up.

"Yes, Rintaro and I were at a charity even for an orphanage where we met Kimi, a really sweet and adorable little girl. We just took her to our hearts and couldn't get her out of our minds to the point that we've decided to adopt her," said Miwa.

"Huh?" shouted nearly all of the men in the room while Ema and some of the others just sat on the couch with their mouths wide open in shock.

"Mom, are you serious?" asked Azusa finally.

"Oh yes very much so," said Miwa, "And once you meet her you'll understand completely."

"So what does this mean exactly?" asked Wataru.

"It means you are all going to have a new little sister," said Miwa, "you're going to be the big brother for once."

"I'm going to be a big brother?" said Wataru, "Yay!" He jumped up and started running around the room shouting, "I'm going to be a big brother! I'm going to be a big brother."

"Will you shut-up and sit down?!" Yusuke said grabbing Wataru by his shirt.

"But I'm so excited!" said Wataru, "I'm going to be a big brother for once, me!"

"Mother, are you sure you and Rintaro really want to do this?" asked Ukyo.

"Oh yes very much," said Miwa, "we were thinking that we would like to have a child together, but weren't so sure about me getting pregnant again."

"Yes you're not that young anymore are you Miwa?" said Futo.

"I heard that Young Man!" Miwa snapped over the phone actually making Futo jump a little.

"Can I assume you'll want to have Kimi stay here at the condo with us here?" Masaomi asked.

"Well we're hoping to keep her with us for a little while since we both have some time off from work but yes when we do have to go back to work I was thinking she'd live there with all of you. Can I count on you all to help look after her?"

"Oh don't worry about that Mother, the little lady will be very safe here," said Kaname.

"So when are you planning on brining her home Mom?" asked Louis.

"Probably within the week. Right now we're waiting to hear from the orphanage about when we can bring her home," said Miwa, "And when we do, we'll make sure to bring her over to met all of you. In the mean time I am sending things like furniture and clothes to the condo for Kimi for when she starts staying with all of you. That should all be there by tomorrow at the most I think."

"We'll make sure someone's here to receive it all," said Masaomi.

"Thank you dear," said Miwa.

"How old is this girl anyway?" asked Iori.

"Oh she's four but she'll be five soon and fully ready to be starting preschool. That's another thing Rintaro and I will hopefully be able to take care of while we have Kimi with us."

"Is she going to go to the same school as me?!" asked Wataru excited.

"Yes she is," said Miwa, "It's lucky your school has a pre-school program."

"Yay, my sister and I will get to go to school together!" Wataru cheered, "I'll make sure to protect her no matter what like a good big brother."

"I'm glad you're happy about this Wataru," said Miwa, "And I hope you can all find some sort of happiness in the idea of getting a new sister just like you were when I told you Ema was coming to live with you."

"Well that would depend on if she's as cute as the last sister we got," said Tsubaki suddenly throwing his arm around Ema in an affection manner. At that Juli started hissing at him.

Ema however was quickly distracted by the sound of her phone going off. She pulled it out and saw it was a text from her father.

'when you get a chance I want to talk to you about your new sister if that's alright. call me when you get some time alone," it read. Ema nodded at the text's request.

"What's that?" Tsubaki asked, "It's not a note from a boyfriend is it?"

"Hmm?" said most of the brothers looking her way.

"Oh no it's from my father. He wants to call me," said Ema standing up, "excuse me real fast." She hurried upstairs to her room.

"So is Mom like really serious about doing this?" Yusuke asked once she was gone.

"It sounds like," said Ukyo.

"Let's make sure we all do our part to make her feel welcome once she comes home alright?" said Masaomi.

"Right," the other brothers agreed.

"Well I should get home," said Natsume standing up, "let me know when she finally arrives. I figure I should meet her in person."

"I don't care when she gets here," said Futo also standing up, "I'll meet her when I do. I have more important things to worry about after all."

"Yeah I bet you do," said Yusuke.


"Hello Dad," Ema said into her phone once she and Juli were alone in her room.

"Ah Ema hello," said Rintaro sounding happy over hearing his daughter's voice, "So tell me how are you feeling with the idea of getting a new sister?"

"Well it's sudden that's for sure," said Ema "But I am a little excited over the idea of getting a sister. I've always wanted one." Her father chuckled at that comment.

"Well I'm glad. She's seems really excited over the idea of getting a big sister herself. I'm sorry we're sort of springing this on you but we hadn't plan on meeting Kimi and falling in love with her to the fact that we really wanted to adopt her. I hope you can forgive us for that," said Rintaro.

"Of course Dad," said Ema.

"With that said I do have a small favor to ask of you and Juli," said Rintaro.

"Hmm?" said Juli at the mention of his name.

"I was wondering if your little knight would be at all interested in looking after Kimi like he does you. I think she could use the extra comfort and sense of protection at least for a little while. She seems kind of nervous of getting so many big brothers."

"As right she should. Anyone with common sense would be afraid coming into a wolves' den!" said Juli, "Don't you worry I'll protect little Chi just like I do with Chi herself!"

"I'm hearing squeaking," said Rintaro, "Is that his happy squeaks or angry squeaks?"

"Happy I guess," said Ema, "He's agreeing to what it was you asked."

"Is he, oh good," said Rintaro, "Your mother and I are really excited about all of this, but do know we still love you and your brothers just as much dear."

"I know Dad," said Ema. Just then she could hear Miwa's voice in the background sounding like she was really excited about something.

"Dad, what's going on?" asked Ema.

"I think she got a phone call from the orphanage saying we can come and bring Kimi home," said Rintaro.

"Oh that's wonderful!" said Ema with delight.

"Looks like we'll be coming to see you and the others real soon along with Kimi," said Rintaro, "I should get going. I'll call you later alright?"

"Mmm, talk to you later Dad," said Ema. She hung up smiling.

"I can't believe I'm going to get a little sister. This is really exiting. Almost as exciting as when Dad told me I was getting 13 brothers," she said with a happy sigh.

"I don't see what was so exciting about that!" said Juli, "You should have been scared about the idea of being around such wolves!"

"Juli," said Ema, "I hope Kimi is happy with living here with everyone like I am."


"So soon you'll be going home with your new parents Kimi," the director told Kimi as she sat in her office.

"I'm really going to leave?" said Kimi.

"It won't be so bad Kimi. I'm sure you'll be making lots of friends in your new life both at school and in and around your new home. I sweet little girl like you should have no problem with that sort of thing," the director assured the litlle girl , "Now why don't go and pack your things so you'll be ready for when your new mommy and daddy come to get you?"

"Okay," said Kimi walking out of the office. She walked to her room where she started gathering up her few meager possessions in to her small bag. She looked around the huge room that she shared with all the other girls as far back as she could remember. She was never going to see any of this again. Instead she was going to a strange place with strange people. Everyone kept telling her this was all a good thing, but how could something that took you away from the happy life you ever knew.

'Beenjee,' she thought holding her toy close to her heart, 'I don't care what everyone says. I'm not going to like this one bit! I'm going to me miserable from here on out!'


The next day Kimi came to the front of the orphanage where Miwa and Rintaro were both standing looking really excited at the sight of seeing Kimi.

"Hello Kimi," said Miwa with her arms outstretched ready for Kimi to come to her. Kimi reluctantly walked into the woman's embrace who immediately pulled Kimi close to her in a big hug.

"This has got to be one of the happiest days of my life!" said Miwa, "Honestly I don't know what I ever did to be blessed with so many wonderful people in my life!"

"Are these all your things?" asked Rintaro as he started to load up the few bags Kimi had packed.

"Yes," said Kimi.

"Kimi didn't have much when she first came to live with us as it is," said the worker also helping with Kimi's things."

"Well no matter. I'm sure Kimi doesn't need much to be happy huh?" said Miwa, "Especially now that you have yourself a family. What more could anyone ask for right?"

'I'd ask to stay here with my friends,' thought Kimi. She turned to look at her old home again and could see all of her friends standing at the front all waving good-bye to her.

"Bye Kimi,"

"Good luck,"

"We'll miss you,"

"Bye," Kimi finally called back also waving good-bye before she felt Miwa's hand on her shoulder and leading her to the car.

"Don't worry Kimi, maybe some day we can come back and visit your friends," said Rintaro also getting into the car.

"Really?" said Kimi.

"Plus you'll be making lots of new friends at your new school," said Miwa, "That'll be exciting too huh?"

"Uh yeah?" said Kimi. She tuned her head and looked out the back widow of the car to look at her home one more time before it disappeared completely from view. She slouched in her seat holding Beenjee close to her body. She could only imagine what was going to happen next.
