"WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS SHIT?!"
"DAMN IT, WHERE'S THAT TAKOYAKI EATING RED HEAD BASTARD?!"
"EXCUSE ME, IT'S TOO EARLY TO START THIS ARGUMENT."
"SHUT UP YOU MANNER FREAK."
"YOU'RE DISTURBING TEDDY AND MY SLEEP!"
"GET AWAY KIDDO!"
"KIDDO?!"
"What the fuck is going on man." [name] thought to herself as she woke up from all the crashes and shouting she had been hearing ever since in the morning. She sat up on her bed and rubbed the sleep away from her eyes; dressed in her simple thin strap nightgown. She then stretched her arms out…
"So noisy…"
And [name] immediately looked around, and her gaze soon fixed on the eldest Sakamaki who was lying down on the sofa in her room, with his eyes closed. She stared at him for a little while until…
"Stop staring at me, unless you want me to take you here and now."
And [name] immediately rolled her eyes and got off her bed. She then noticed a uniform was hanging on the door of her wardrobe with a small note attached to it.
"Baka. You're going to Night School again with us. That's your new uniform. – Yuma."
She then grabbed her towel and headed towards her bathroom, not realising that a certain pair of light ocean blue eyes was following her every move.
[name] stood in front of the mirror in the bathroom, and she couldn't help but to trace her throat down. She kind of hated herself for being mute, but she realised that she couldn't do anything about it but hope for a miracle only. She sighed and removed her nightgown, folding it neatly and placing it by the side of the sink. She then tied her long brown hair up into a messy bun, turning to take a look at the "tattoo" that was imprint on her spine, and then she headed towards the bathtub; where she turned on both the cold and hot water tap to fill the tub.
[name] immediately felt a presence behind her, and then she felt someone rubbing her shoulders. She then immediately smacked the hands away and turned her head slightly to look at who had intruded her in her bath time once again. She was 101% used to the Mukami brothers invading her privacy when she was showering; which she then got used to it as she gave up trying to chase them out of the bathroom. And this time round, she was expecting it to be one of the Mukami brothers, but it actually turned out to be;
Sakamaki Raito.
"Nfufu. You're quite big, don't you think so?" Raito moaned out his words. [name] could only roll her eyes and push him away from her as she got into the now ¾ filled bathtub.
"Oh right… I forgot you were mute. But no worries, I love all still." Raito smirked and whispered into [name]'s ear and then he licked her neck, down to her shoulder. [name] immediately smacked him right in the face with the scrub, earning a yelp from the pervert red head.
"Feisty, but you're interesting still." And Raito soon opened his mouth, showing his fangs as he got closer to [name]'s naked shoulder. Before [name] could push him away again, he immediately plunged his fangs into her shoulder and drank her blood. [name] winced slightly as this was honestly the first time that she had ever felt pain when fangs pierce through her skin; the other times when her brothers drank from her, she didn't feel anything.
"Mm… You taste deliciously sweet." Raito moaned out as he bit into her skin once more. Raito sucked on her blood a little too much until…
"Such nuisance." A voice was heard from behind them. Raito immediately stopped and turned to look at the owner of the voice, including [name]. There behind them stood Sakamaki Shu, who had on a rather displeased look on his face.
"Shu~ came to join in the fun?" Raito smirked and asked, while standing up; dropping [name] back into the bathtub. The fang marks soon disappeared due to her being a vampire.
"You disturbed my sleep with your idiocy." Shu muttered out.
"Mou~ You're always sleeping. Doesn't matter, I've had my fill; heh." And Raito soon disappeared. [name] then looked at Shu with her usual dull eyes, and nodded slightly at him as a form of thank you. She then turned to face back to the front and submerged herself deeper into the bathtub; whereas Shu headed towards the windowsill land laid there, closing his eyes.
After about 30 minutes, [name] finally decided to get out of the bathtub. She immediately stood up and turned her back as she knew that Shu had stayed in the bathroom the entire time while she was enjoying her bath. The sounds of water splashing made Shu open his eyes, and he noticed the "tattoo" on the spine of her back, and his eyes immediately widened in surprise. [name] then stepped out of the bathtub and was looking for her towel, when suddenly it was held right in front of her. [name] then grabbed hold of it and wrapped it around her body, and she turned to look that Shu had already left.
"Boys like these Sakamakis sure will be getting on my nerve. First I have to deal with my own twin brother and the other Mukami brothers about barging into the bathroom whenever I'm having a shower or bath; just to make me listen to their rants for the day. Now I have to deal with the Sakamakis as well?" [name] thought to herself as she dried her body and slipped on back her nightgown.
"THAT'S YOURS TRULY'S!"
"HELL NO! I SAW IT FIRST!"
"WHAT ARE YOU TWO, KIDS?!"
"SHUT UP! OR ELSE I'LL BREAK YOUR THROAT!"
"I WASN'T EVEN SHOUTING AT YOU, YOU ALBINO!"
"YOU GARDENING FREAK, SHUT THE FUCK UP!"
"STOP YELLING ALREADY!"
[name] rolled her eyes as she heard that the argument was still going on as she left her room. She turned down the hallway and walked past Raito's room; where she heard him panting and moaning, which she clearly doesn't want to know what the fuck he was doing in his room. She then quickly walked past his room and reached the stairs that led to the ground floor of the mansion. There she saw her twin brother; Yuma, along with Kou, arguing with Ayato as well as Subaru. She then saw that Kanato was seated on the sofa nearby, talking to his Teddy; and Azusa was sitting opposite of him speaking to his bandages. She also then noticed that Ruki as well as Reiji was standing at the opposite side of the room, shaking their heads at what was going on before them. She immediately felt a presence just beside her and she turned to see; Shu just beside her.
"Why the fuck is he like following me around?" [name] asked herself in her mind as she started to walk down the steps.
"It really is you…" Shu thought to himself as he watch [name] walking down the stairs.
[name] then walked towards the group that was arguing nonstop; and she pulled the left ear of Yuma, as well as the right ear of Kou, and really dragged them towards Ruki. She then turned to look at Azusa, whom then hopped off the sofa and quickly walked towards where [name] was standing.
"It's still rather early. Why are you awake?" Ruki asked as [name] let go of Yuma and Kou. She then narrowed her eyes and glared at the duo who were busy arguing before; and they both paled slightly. All of a sudden Azusa took a whiff of [name], and he immediately asked;
"[name]… Did… Someone… Drink… Your… Blood…" which [name] nodded.
"WHICH FUCKER DID IT?!"
"TELL US!"
"I'LL PULL HIS LIMBS OUT ONE BY O-." and [name] immediately smacked Yuma's mouth shut with her hands, and she glared at him.
"Nfufu, come on; let's stop arguing. We're a family now~" and [name] immediately rolled her eyes at that one idiot vampire; Raito.
"Who wants to be family with those half-ass vampires?!" Ayato yelled out, and Subaru punched the wall beside him; leaving a hole in it. And then the argument started once again.
[name] sat in the living room, with her elbows on her knees. She sighed as she heard the arguments going on and on. Ruki was arguing with Reiji in the kitchen apparently; because of their differences in preparing food for their hungry brothers. Yuma and Kou were arguing with Ayato and Subaru about some prank that Ayato had played on Kou earlier in the evening. Azusa and Kanato were busy glaring at each other; or rather Kanato was glaring at Azusa; whereas Raito was busy trying to get [name] to let him drink her blood again.
[name] sighed as she pushed Raito's face away from her shoulder, and all of a sudden she was lifted and placed on the other side of the sofa. She stared in surprise at the man who was settling himself in between her and Raito; Shu.
"Mou, Shu~ You're spoiling my fun~"
"Shut up. You're destroying my music." And Raito pout and leaned back into the sofa.
"OI THAT BELONGS TO YOURS TRULY!"
"Eh? But I got it first~" Kou stuck his tongue out and sat back in his seat.
"You want to fight?!"
"Oi, don't create such a ruckus at the dining table."
"Shut up you manner freak!"
"You're getting annoying you takoyaki eating red head bastard."
"Same goes to you, gardening freak!"
[name] sighed as Ruki placed an empty glass in front of her. She then took out her box of blood tablets and dropped one into it, looking at it dissolving into blood right before her eyes. She was about to keep the box when all of a sudden Ayato grabbed it out of her hands.
"Well, well. Looks like this half-ass vampire doesn't drink from anybody except from blood tablets."
"Give that back to me."
"What is she saying?" Ayato asked with confusion in his eyes as he turned to look at the Mukamis.
"She told you to give it back to her, and it's better if you did." Ruki spoke as he sat down in his seat.
"Nah, this belongs to Yours Truly now." Ayato then kept the box into his pocket, which Yuma then snapped at.
"Oi, give that back to her!"
"Why should I? Half-ass vampires like you lot shouldn't be here in the first place."
"Ayato. Just give it back so that we can eat in peace." Reiji spoke up. Ayato then sighed as he handed the box of blood tablets back to [name] and headed back to take his seat. [name] then grabbed hold of the box of blood tablets and drank her glass of blood down in one shot before putting it back down and standing up from her seat.
"[name]-chan?" Kou asked with a slight glimpse of worry in his eyes.
"I've lost my appetite. Get me when it's time for school." And [name] left the dining room.
"Look at what you did!" Kou yelled at Ayato.
"What did I do?!"
"You just had to take away her pride of a vampire that doesn't want to hurt people!"
"Being a vampire, it's a disgrace if you don't drink from humans!"
"THAT'S FOR YOU! BUT SHE'S DIFFERENT!"
"Kou, enough. Just eat." Ruki muttered out as he started to eat the food before him.
"This is such a pain…" Shu muttered as he stood up from his seat and left the dining room as well.
"Something about that [name], is really making me feel something else…" Reiji thought to himself as he sip on his cup of tea.
Ayato was making his way towards [name]'s room. Honestly he had felt guilty for making [name] lose her appetite, and also for making fun of the fact that she was relying only on blood tablets. He sighed as he held a plate of takoyaki in his hands, and he slammed [name]'s door open, starling [name] who had just came out from her bathroom, wearing her new school uniform.
"E-Eh. Y-You." He stuttered, and [name] tilted her head to one side.
Her school uniform consists of a black school blazer with a black deep V-neck vest over a white button-up dress shirt with frills near the neckline. She has a white bow showing through the V of the vest and wears a red bow tied to her neck above the white bow. The bottom is the black uniform skirt that ends just above her knees with a white petticoat underneath. And she was wearing just simple black flats.
"What do you want?" and Ayato showed her a very confused look, which she sighed and typed out what she had signalled on her phone. She then walked up to him and showed him what she had asked.
"O-Oh. Here. Eat this. I demand you to." And Ayato shove the plate of takoyaki into her hands, and then he disappeared. [name] sighed and smiled softly as she sat on her bed and started to eat the takoyakis.
"He's the kind that needs freedom." [name] thought to herself as she ate. She then remembered what had happened earlier when she was taking a bath; the incident with Raito.
"And that one needs someone to teach him what the fuck is lust and love." She thought to herself as she finished the plate of takoyaki.
[name] sat in the limousine along with her brothers as well as the Sakamakis. The air around them was tensed, and it wasn't surprising to her. She was busy reading the notes that Ruki and the others had given her back then for her own self-study, and she was busy trying to understand what Ruki had wrote for his literature notes. She then turned to Ruki and pointed to a word that he had scribbled, which then Ruki took a look at it and narrowed his eyes.
"I've got to improve on my handwriting." Ruki muttered, and [name] rolled her eyes.
She then turned to her other side and noticed that it was Reiji that was seated beside her. She hesitantly tugged on his sleeves, which he then turned to look at her with a glare. She pout slightly as she lifted the book and pointed to the word that she had previously asked Ruki.
"You're asking me what that word is?" he asked, which [name] then nodded. All of a sudden his glare softened as he read the whole sentence that Ruki had written.
"Seared. For me, love like that has only happened once, and that's why every minute we spent together has been seared in my memory." Reiji spoke up, and [name] immediately wrote down the word after arrowing it out on the notes. She then smiled and nodded at Reiji, which he took it as a sign of a thank you. She then turned back to her notes and started to read through them again; not realising that Reiji was looking at her then.
"Something about her, makes me want to protect her." Reiji thought to himself, not realising that his older brother was staring at his every movements.
"IT'S KOU! OH MY GOD, HE REALLY TRANSFERRED HERE!"
"Hey, look at those new hot guys! That extremely tall one is hot!"
"Oh god, those blue-grey eyes are hot!"
"Ne that short one looks adorable!"
"Hey, look at that girl! She looks exactly like the tall one!"
"Are they twins?"
"Doesn't matter, she's hot! I mean look at her curves and long hair!"
It was rather noisy in the hallway, and [name] couldn't stand it although she was pretty used to it back in her old school. But she couldn't understand how these idiots can't shut up for 5 seconds, do they not need to breathe or some shit?
"[name]." she heard Reiji call her and she turned to see that Reiji was pushing his glasses up, and then he folded his arms against his chest.
"You're in the same class as Subaru, a first year. Follow him." And [name] turned to see that Subaru had on a rather pissed off look, as always, while he waited for her. She then nodded and bowed to Reiji before running off.
"[name], don't run!" Ruki yelled out, and then he smiled softly as he saw [name] turning and sticking her tongue out at him.
"Do you think she'll be alright this time round?" Kou asked; not realising that the other Sakamakis were listening to his conversation.
"Let's hope so." Ruki mumbled as he saw Yuma staring with worry in his eyes at the running figure of [name].
"Alright class, this is Mukami [name], and she will be joining us from today onwards. Please be mindful as she has a disability, so do not make fun of her." The teacher spoke, and ushered [name] forward, before turning to leave the classroom. [name] stood at the front in an awkward manner as she felt everybody's eyes were on her. She then saw Subaru waving at her, and she immediately walked towards him. But before she could reach him, she was grabbed by the wrist; which then Subaru immediately shot up from his seat.
"Hey, sit beside me instead." A boy playfully spoke to her, and she just shook her head and tried to get her hand out of his grasp.
"Aw, come on. What are you, mute?" the boy continued, and [name] could only stare at him in a dull manner. Subaru then came over and got her out of the boy's grasp and he glared down at him.
"She's fucking mute, and she's under my protection. So fuck off." He spat out and pushed [name] forward, telling her to take the seat beside him, which she quickly did as she didn't want to mix with anybody else. When Subaru took his seat beside her, he noticed [name] was staring at him the entire time.
"What?!" he whisper-yelled.
[name] then smiled softly at him, and his glare suddenly turned into a blush.
"Ah, a tsundere." [name] thought to herself as she looked towards the front.
"T-Tch! What are you smiling at?!" which [name] shook her head as she continued to smile, leaving Subaru to blush even more.
[name] was walking down the hallway, heading towards her locker. She was about to reach it when all of a sudden she was crowded by a huge group of students that she had no idea who they were.
"Is it true, that you're really mute?"
"Are you the twin of Yuma?"
"Do you have a boyfriend?"
And the questions went on and on, and [name] was getting a headache. She sighed and took a step back, which then the huge group of students took a step forward, and eventually [name]'s back hit the lockers, causing her to have nowhere to escape.
She was about to push the group of students out of her way when all of a sudden she was lifted up. Her arms automatically wrapped around the person who had lifted her up, and she couldn't help but feel happy about it, for she knew who it was; Yuma.
"I'll appreciate if you don't crowd around my sister like that. It's her first day of school after a few years of being at home." Yuma spoke and quickly walked away from the crowd.
"Aww, I wish he will carry me like that."
[name] then snuggled into her brother's chest and took in his scent; calming herself down. She then heard him chuckle, and she looked up at him and pout.
"You're really like a kid."
"Deal with it!"
"Sure am." And he shifted [name] onto one of his arms instead, making her practically sitting on his arm, and her head was slightly above his. He then dug into his pockets and brought out a packet of sugar cubes, which he took out one and placed one in his mouth. [name], then quickly turned his head to face her, and she used her mouth to get the sugar cube out of his mouth, and quickly ate it.
"Oi!"
"Too bad!" and [name] stuck her tongue out, which Yuma could only sigh at.
"[NAME]-CHAN~ HOW IS EVERYTHING?!" and [name] winced slightly, including Yuma; at the high pitched voice.
"Shut up, Kou! Stop shouting." Yuma yelled back, and [name] could only laugh silently.
Kou then ran up towards the duo, with Ruki following quickly behind them, pulling Azusa along with him.
"Hectic. But Subaru protected me from this boy in my class who grabbed my wrist."
"Oh? That's good!" Kou chuckled out, and Ruki could only smile.
"But it's a little annoying though. I mean, the students here. They just randomly crowd around me and bombard me with so many questions!"
"Ah, so that's why Yuma is carrying you." Ruki spoke up, which she nodded at.
"What's… Your… Next… Period…" Azusa asked.
"Music!"
[name] finally found the music room after 20 minutes of walking around, and also 10 minutes of running away from the persistent students who kept asking her stupid questions. She then opened the door of the music room, and realised NOBODY was inside it. She walked in further into the music room and shut the door. She then spotted a violin, and she walked over towards it.
She picked it up and tuned it slightly, and soon started to play.
Shu was in the music room the entire time, and he woke up to someone playing the violin. He then realised that it was [name] playing, and he couldn't help but smile at it; for he remembered that [name] used to always play for him the violin whenever he was down.
Soon, [name] stopped and placed the violin down. She held her head slightly as her head started to hurt even more.
"What's wrong? Never mind, I'll play for you something!" and [name] picked up the violin and started to play a song for the sad looking boy before her.
"Oi, [name]! That's where you were! I was looking for you!" her brother called out, and [name] turned to see that her brother had brought three apples, one for her, one for the boy in front of her, as well as one for himself.
"[name], will you play for me whenever I'm sad?"
"Sure!"
"Damn it, who is that kid!" [name] yelled in her head with frustration, and suddenly she felt someone wrapping her around by the shoulder. She then turned to look and realised that it was Shu, and she immediately shove him off and stood up; looking extremely flustered.
"Eh? Why's my heart beating so fast?" [name] thought to herself as she touched her heart area.
"You play extremely well." Shu complimented her, and she could only nod, with a slight blush on her face.
"Play again?" Shu asked as he held out the violin for her, which she then nodded and took it from him, playing for him to listen to once more. He then got up from where he was sitting and headed towards the piano, where he started to play along with the song that [name] had chosen to play.
[name] walked down the hallway quickly as she realised that it was filled with students, mostly male students. She then quickly walked past a group of delinquents who actually catcall her, and also wolf-whistled her. She then bumped into the supposedly leader of the group, and he smirked down at her.
"What do we have here? The newbie is a real cutie and hottie."
"Let's have fun."
And [name] rolled her eyes and shook her head as she shoved passed the leader, but he grabbed hold of her tightly by the wrist and yanked her back. She then glared at the leader, whose smirk just got bigger, and she tried to get out of his grasp.
"Nfufu, there you are bitch-chan~" and [name] turned to look at the owner of the voice; Raito.
"Get lost, Sakamaki." The leader spat out as he held [name] closer to him.
"Ne, bitch-chan. Shall we make a deal?" and [name] immediately knew what Raito wanted; her blood. With a quick nod and a smirk, Raito smirked and started. Grabbing hold of the leader by the arm and flinging him against the lockers. He then grabbed hold of him by the head and held him up, with an extremely death grip.
"This is just the first warning, kiddo. Don't mess with bitch-chan." Raito spoke with total seriousness in his voice, and he let go of the leader and he started to run away with the rest of his group. Raito then turned and held his hand out to [name] who was currently on the floor. She then smiled softly at him as she accepted his hand, and he pulled her up.
"Nfufu, bitch-chan doesn't know how to protect herself?" and [name] could only smile faintly.
"What took you guys so long?" Reiji asked with a dissatisfaction on his face.
"Nfufu, bitch-chan here got caught by the delinquents." Raito explained with his signature smirk still on his face. [name] then nodded to agree with what Raito had said, and Reiji sighed.
"It's your fault for getting so much attention." Reiji spoke, and [name] rolled her eyes.
"Just… Be more careful." He whispered softly, but [name] actually heard it.
"[name]!" and all of a sudden she was surrounded by her brothers.
"What took you so long?!"
"Are you hurt anywhere?!"
"Did… They… Do… Anything… To… You?"
"I'm fine. Raito saved me."
[name] was walking around the mansion, bored out of her wits. Wearing her simple nightgown again, only this time it was black in colour. She walked past Raito's room, and she heard him whining about something being difficult to understand;
"Mou, this is so difficult!"
She shook her head, not really interested in what he was doing. She then walked past and she saw Ayato running into his room, with a book clutched in his hands. She gave a weird look as she has never saw Ayato with a book ever since she set foot into this mansion. He was always talking about how takoyaki should be make, and how things belong to him. [name] then continued to walk and she saw Reiji's room was slightly opened, and she took a peek inside to see that the tea lover vampire had his head down, and he was busy writing and taking notes as well.
"Such a nerd…" [name] thought to herself as she continued her journey down the hallway. She then heard a crash coming from a room, assuming it is Subaru's room. She heard him yelling;
"DAMN IT, WHY AM I DOING THIS?!"
She quickly left the scene before Subaru could open the door then. She then continued and walked past Kanato's room, where she heard him talking to Teddy; honestly Kanato creeps her out the most, but she finds him as cute as Azusa.
"Ne Teddy, do you know what is this?"
She then walked past his room and went down the stairs towards the kitchen. She entered the kitchen and spotted her eldest brother seated with a book in his hand as usual, and drinking a cup of tea.
"[name]?" he asked as he looked up, and she took a seat before him.
"Why aren't you in your room though? You usually read in your room."
"Ah, I got lazy when I made tea. So I just decided to sit here and read."
"Is Kou back?"
"Soon. Why not you head out to the garden and check on Yuma and Azusa?"
"Hrmp. You just don't want me to disturb you when you're reading." [name] frowned.
"You do realise that whenever you talk to me when I'm reading; I pay full attention to you." Ruki chuckled out as he took a sip of his tea and flipped the page of his book. [name] then pout and stood up, and lightly pulled Ruki's hair before running off.
"YOU'RE LUCKY THAT I'M READING!"
"Come on, help me out Azusa!" Yuma whine out as Azusa was busy sitting on the steps, talking to his bandages.
"Ne… Justin… Melissa… Are you guys… Happy?"
"AZUSA! AND [NAME]! YOU SHOULDN'T BE OUT HERE IN THE COLD WITH JUST YOUR NIGHTGOWN!" Yuma yelled, and [name] immediately pout when she hadn't even taken a step down.
"Ruki told me to come take a look at the both of you!"
"Well, fuck him! He should have thought properly since you're wearing such thin clothings!"
"Hrmp!"
"Now, don't you hrmp me!"
"HRMP!"
"You're asking for it!"
"Fight me!"
And Yuma lunged forward at [name], where she quickly dodged and took off running into the garden. Yuma then growled and started to chase after her, with a smile on his face. [name] duck through the bushes, thankfully she was rather petite, and she ran about the garden; getting further away from the mansion.
"[name]! Don't run too far!" [name] heard Yuma's voice getting faint, and then she finally stopped as she realised she was quite far from the mansion. She then spotted an apple tree, and she climbed up with ease and plucked two apples from it. She then landed down softly, and she looked around to see her whereabouts. She then spotted a church just behind her, and she decided to take a look at it.
Upon entering, she heard soft music coming from within; and she looked around.
Shu was in the church, laying down as he listened to his classical music; as usual and also reading a book on sign languages. He thought of ways to get [name] to remember him, and he also wanted to communicate with her so that there won't be a difficulty in explaining to her certain situations. He sighed and soon sat up, and his eyes widened when his light blue ocean eyes met with brown eyes.
"What are you doing?" he asked, and [name] tilted her head and smiled.
She then sat down beside him and held out an apple, giving it to him. Shu then took it, and then a memory flash before [name].
"Here you go!" [name] held out an apple towards the boy who was sniffling by the river as always.
"T-Thank you…"
"No problem! Edgar picked it out, so it should be sweet!"
"[NAME]! DID YOU STEAL MY APPLES AGAIN?!"
[name] then giggled and nodded as Edgar came by with a basket on his head filled with apples. He then sighed and lightly kicked her on the butt as a form of affection, and then set the basket of apples down onto the ground.
"Eat as many as you want. We've got plenty." Edgar spoke to the boy.
[name] then quickly shook her head and looked at Shu, who was busy eating the apple. She then noticed the book beside him, and she took it silently and looked at the cover. A smile soon appeared on her face as she realised what book that he was reading.
[name] laid in bed after she had gotten a scolding from Yuma for running too far away from the mansion; which resulted in a tickle war between him and her. She had also gotten the chance to greet Kou when he had come home after he was done with his work, and she also managed to convince Ruki to bake a cake for both her and Azusa; which resulted in Kanato coming in and sharing the cake with them as well.
She then looked at the time and realised that it was soon to be dawn; and then she yawned and fell into a peaceful slumber. Not knowing that the Sakamaki brothers were annoying the Mukami brothers for help with sign languages.
