AN: Hello all, and welcome to the third installment to my "Silent Jealousy" fanfic. So far, I have recieved many good reviews, and not a bad one in sight. I'd like to, and hope to keep it that way. I have a night off tonight, since our venue was cancelled over at Tokyo's 20,000 volts (a night club, pretty popular for it's rock/metal venues). Home and sad (and getting shit from my mom) with no guitar to play (I left it with my bandmate and I'm too lazy to get it X.X) and the arcade in Akihabara "too far (it's a 15 minute ride via mag-rail)" for me to get to since I'm drained from school and tests (besides, it's already 22:30), I suprisingly have gotten inspiration in some sick manner, and have decided to update this fic. Some of it (for some reason) has to do when my friend Phillip (the American exchange student) told me that his homeroom teacher chewed him out for "not using the correct kanji and on top of that, not writing it in the correct stroke order". (yes, sick, I know, I get inspiration from other peoples' misery... X.X) Besides, a rerun of the first season of Rozen Maiden played on TV today after one of my dad's favorite dramas, so it reminded me of this fic. Also, my friend Ayako from homeroom drew a hella sick picture of Shinku and Suigintou coughmakingoutcough. It looked like it was drawn by the real artists/pros. It was hawt. It made me wanna write another chapter for this fic so...here it is. Anyways, enjoy peoples.


"Home sweet home...ne?" he said quietly to himself.

"Oi! Baka yarou! Are you coming inside or what?! desu!" Suiseiseki called from the front door.

Reita snapped out of his trance and then looked up and then nodded his head.

"Coming."

And then he took his first steps towards his road to a new life.

When he first stepped foot into his new home, his mouth was almost touching the floor. It was such a nice house. Never had he thought that anyone could have made a house so beautiful. He looked around. He chuckled as he thought of something a little bit inappropriate.

'The girls is probably why this house is so pretty...' he thought to himself.

He was snapped out of thoughts as he felt someone tugging at his suitcase. He looked down and saw that it was the cute girl with blonde curls. He smiled a little at her.

"Hello there. Is there something I can help you with?" he said to her as if she was a little kid, even though, more or less, she was.

"Let me help you and show you to your room mister! nano!" she said, seemingly full of energy.

"Please...just call me Reita...mister...sir...stuff like that makes me feel like an old man." Reita said as he rubbed the back of his head.

"I wouldn't have called you 'mister' if I knew your name. I wasn't listening when father introduced you. nano" she told him.

Reita laughed, covering up the fact that he felt like a complete moron. He then nodded and let go of what she was trying to take hold. When he did, she began to walk off, himself following behind her. She seemed to be...skipping...her way to his room. Was she always like this? It was nice to see one of the girls filled with so much pep but...after a while, it would get under his skin. He sweatdropped a little. This girl seemed like the kind of girl that would annoy you because she would be so jumpy. Well, there was only one way to find out if this was indeed true, and that was for him to just wait it out. When they had finally come to his room, Hina Ichigo tossed his back into the room, and his eyes went wide.

"Hey hey hey! Careful! That's got most of my music equiptment in there!" he said frantically as he ran to the bag to check if anything was damaged.

"Sorry Reita." Hina Ichigo said

When that happened, Suigintou made her way upstairs and towards his room.

"Hina, where'd you put my...oh my..." she said as she watched Reita digging through his back.

She chuckled as she crossed her arms and leaned against the wall. Reita didn't care if the emperor of Japan was watching, he wanted to make sure everything was okay, setting everything out one by one. Once Suigintou caught eye of what he had in there, she walked up and kneeled next to him, picking up one of the pedals. It was a distortion pedal, and without a doubt, the most important effect to a metal player. He looked over at her as she let out a smug grin and let out a breathy chuckle before smashing the pedal into the ground.

"WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU..." but was cut off.

"DigiTech? C'mon now dear, DigiTech pedals are for losers. The only good pedal by that company is the whammy. It's about time you get some real music equiptment." she told him. (AN: no offence to DigiTech users!)

He snarled at her, teeth barred before she slapped him.

"Come this way Reita dearest, it's about time you find out about BOSS." she said.

"You don't think I'd have BOSS pedals if I had the money?" he grumbled.

"That's why you're going to get some now. I have an endorsment contract with BOSS and Roland. I can get you all the free pedals you want." she told him simply.

His face lightened up a bit as he rubbed his cheek.

"I myself personally use a good BOSS distortion pedal, the MT-2 Metal Zone mind you, chained to a DigiTech Whammy, and finally run it all through a BOSS GT-8 Guitar Effects Board, which then leading out to my amps. You, on the other hand, can do whatever you want. Just name the pedals, and I'll consider it." she told him.

"You'll consider it?" he repeated.

"I'll consider it." she confirmed.

"I make the choices here. I'm the one with the endorsement contract, not you You be a good boy to me and do as I say, and then I'll consider getting you what you want." she added on with a smirk.

"Be a good boy? Does that mean I have to rub your feet and do your laundry too?" he said sarcastically.

"Good idea." she said.

Reita slapped his forehead. Why did he have to open up his big mouth?

"Well it's a good thing I don't have to do them." Reita challanged.

Suigintou shrugged her shoulders.

"I'm not the one who needs to use shitty built-in overdrive on some piece-of-crap 10 watt Fender starter amp." she said, shrugging her shoulders.

That made Reita grumble.

"Fine, I'll consider it..." he said.

He'll admit freely that Suigintou was so smokin hot that he almost creamed himself thinking about her. In truth, he truly did not have a problem with helping her out with her chores, but at the same time, he wasn't going to be her lapdog. She seemed to have an inferiority complex, and she had a bad attitude, or so it seemed to him. He hadn't known her long enough to make early assessments like that. Before he had more time to think, Suigintou ran her fingers across his cheeks softly before cupping his chin with her fingers and made him tilt his head up a bit so he was looking at her.

"Well I have dinner duty tonight dear, so I'll see you later. You give my offer a thought." she with a wink before walking off.

Reita was almost fuming from that comment.

"Grrrr...I'm not some bitch's lapdog!" he growled to himself through gritted teeth.

Hina Ichigo had been long gone, not wanting to know what Suigintou was asking her for, in fear that she had probably lost whatever she wanted. Reita then let out a sigh. He began to unpack his things. He began to remember the quote that his mom had once told him. "You can have a hundred grown men in one household and have it be prosperous, however, you cannot have two grown women in the same household and expect it to be happy." He could already imagine his life ahead with eight girls under the same roof. As he was unpacking, Kanaria had passed by his room before stopping and then peeking into his room.

"Everything alright? kashira" she asked.

Reita looked up at the green-haired teen and then nodded his head.

"Everything's cool..." he told her.

"Awesomeness! kashira!" she said.

"Oh, by the way, my name is Kanaria. Nice to meet you! kashira!" she added on with a smile and a bow.

Reita bowed his head. He wouldn't ask why she said "kashira" at the end of her sentences, just like he wouldn't bother asking Suiseieki why she always said "desu", and why Hina Ichigo said "nano" at the end of their sentences. He wondered if any more of the girls had a "fancy" way of talking. He remembered some light conversation in the limo amongst the sisters. He knew that Souseiseki used "boku", which was a masculine form of "I". Shinku used "da wa" often. It seemed like each girl had some kind of "fancy" talking methood. He laughed as he thought of a stupid way of how they came up with such "smart" ways of talking. "Smart" was not the right word. More like..."stupid" and "childish". He chuckled. Although he might get hell from the girls, he knew that this would be an interesting life to lead.

As he was putting his stuff away, the scent of dinner slowly became more and more strong in the air. He would've closed his door, but then it would trap the scent in his room, and outside was a little too chilly to open the window. He smiled at some of the small novelty things he had as his suitcases became emptier and emptier. The last things he put up were a couple pictures of when his family was still a family. He thought long and hard about it, and memories began to flash. After a while, he felt something trickle down his cheek, and he touched his cheek, then brought his hand forward.

'Tears...?' he thought to himself.

He then smiled a little as he then decided to put the pictures up, but behind some of the small novelty items and trinkets. As far as he was concerned these girls were his family now, and if he wanted to be completly happy and at peace, he had to let go of the past, and embrace the present, and look forward to the future. He took one last glimpse of a picture of him and his mom and dad before he was snapped out of thought by Suigintou.

"Dinner's ready!" her voice called loudly.

The girls left their rooms, but Reita stayed behind to throw himself back into his abyss of thoughts. It seemed like an eternity has passed since that picture was taken, although in reality, it had only been a few years. He jumped a little as Shinku's voice startled him.

"Hey, dinner's ready. Are you going to eat?" she said.

Reita slowly nodded his head.

"Uhm, yeah. Be there in a sec." he said.

Shinku shrugged her shoulders and then headed downstairs. Reita stared back once more at the family picture, and smiled once more at the memory.

"Reita, c'mon!" called Suigintou.

"Coming!" he called back.

He stood up and then quickly headed downstairs to the kitchen, off to eat dinner with his new family.


AN: Okay, I edited the "superiority complex" part. My bad. Even though I speak good English, if I do say so myself, it's still my second language. Sorry for the mistake.
