If This Happened # 4

Seeing a silver haired stranger hug her little sister had been the shock of the evening, even after moving into a house with thirteen- admittedly good looking (cute in Wataru's case)- boys and finding out they lived in a gigantic complex.

"HEY!" She found herself shouting angrily.

The silver haired stranger broke away from her sister in shock at about the same time Juli jumped down, Sakura supposed he was going to attack the man, but Juli was able to direct himself to Ema's shoulder instead. Another man with black hair, who looked strikingly similar to the other from even up there, froze behind him. It seemed that she wasn't the only one upset with the silver-head's action.

The two men, Juli, and Ema all turned their attention to her as Sakura made her way down the stairs in quick but graceful strides, though her irritation was obvious. She didn't stop walking until she was right in front of them all.

"Isn't it a bit much to hug someone you've just met?" Sakura questioned, schooling her irritation to give him a carefully blank look. "Especially if it's a female who's still in high school."

Sakura froze in shock as in the next second, she felt arms wrap around her back and her face only seeing the shocked faces of Ema and the black-haired stranger- and Juli's murderous one.

Juli squeaked angrily, "Get off of Ri-chan, you perverted wolf!"

"I'll just give you my 'nice to meet you' hug, then!" The cheerful voice spoke into her ear. Sakura blinked a few times, still in shock.

Finally, she shoved the man away with a shout of, "Get off!"

That was when the black-haired man hit his silver-haired doppelganger over the head with enough force that it knocked him over.

"Sorry about Tsubaki. I'm Azusa," The black-haired man introduced after apologizing for the silver-haired man's- who Sakura could safely assume was his twin- behavior, "Nice to meet you."

"That hurt, Azusa~!" Tsubaki whined as he got up before saying, "Oh." As if he was just now remembering something. He gave Sakura an odd look. "Who are you, anyway?"

Sakura could practically feel the vein on her head ticking at that point. What was with that? He hugged her out of nowhere and he didn't even know?

"We weren't told about anyone besides Ema." Azusa offered an explanation, one that still didn't serve to make her any less irritated.

Still, Sakura swallowed that irritation for the moment and introduced herself, "Sakura Hinata. I'm twenty years old and Ema's older sister." She was too irritated with Tsubaki to offer any additional information in her introduction. Who went around hugging people like that, anyways?

Of course, that was when Tsubaki made a face of realization and said, "Ne, you're Sakura Umiko! The model!"

Sakura sighed, but she supposed it was bound to have happened. Her midnight hair and dark purple eyes weren't exactly common. Neither was the fact that she covered up one eye. She looked up at Azusa and Tsubaki. Or, at least she hadn't thought it was common.

"We look alike, right?" Tsubaki spoke, obviously misinterpreting her look. "We're identical twins."

Sakura had to hold back her snort. Way to state the obvious. They were even dressed similarly. She seriously had to wonder if the checker patterns, blazers, and dress pants were planned.

Thankfully, she was saved from any more of his ridiculous behavior when a voice rang out with a calm but reprimanding, "You two, you are getting too rambunctious."

"Sorry," Sakura immediately apologized. "I think I may have contributed to that."

"It's fine." The new person assured. Sakura wasn't sure if it was the professional dress- black slacks, a grey vest, red button up, white tie, and dress shoes...and his glasses, too, she supposed they may have added to it- or that he was trying to get control of things, but she felt that respect was deserved. "By the way, It's nice to meet you. I'm Ukyo. I work as a lawyer." Ukyo introduced.

"Nothing but top-of-the line bastards keep showing up, one after the other!" Juli squeaked at Ukyo from his feet. Sakura sighed.

"Uh, um, I look forward to getting to know you." Ema spoke, bowing politely.

"We'll be in your care." Sakura also said, giving a small bow.

"Yep, looking forward to it." Tsubaki made to hug Sakura again, but she stopped him in his tracks when she shoved her hand in his face.

"Back off."

"What's going on?!" A loud voice rang out. "Don't bring women into the- Oh!" The person's voice turned to shock as Sakura tried to remember where she'd seen him before.

His hair was nearly as bright as Eimi and sticking up in most places, save for two braids on either side of his neck, going down to his collar bones. He was wearing a familiar school uniform, but something was off about it, maybe it was the red shirt…

"Oh!" Sakura exclaimed. "You're one of Ema's classmates?"

The redhead was down the stairs in an instant, ignoring Sakura in favor of approaching- a bit too close, in Sakura's opinion- Ema.

"You?! Bu-but why-"

"He doesn't know?" Sakura questioned, subtly pulling Ema back to a reasonable distance away from the redhead before turning to face Ukyo. "How does he not know?"

"Tsubaki," Ukyo turned to the silver-haired twin, "I thought I told you to inform Yusuke in advance." Tsubaki just gave a mischievous laugh as he turned his head away from all of them.

"Tsuba-nii, you didn't tell me on purpose, didn't you?!" The redhead questioned angrily. Sakura would have been angry, too.

"On purpose, I'm hurt." Tsubaki spoke in an unconvincing voice, turning to face Yusuke. Sakura gave him a flat look. She had no doubt that he had kept the information to himself on purpose. How annoying.

"Let's all cool down." Sakura offered, finally managing to catch everyone's attention.

"I can't accept a classmate as my sister." Yusuke denied and Tsubaki opened his mouth to speak- or taunt, more likely, but Sakura spoke again.

"Nobody's asking you to. We've all been thrown off by this new development." Sakura assured. "It would be ridiculous to expect things to change overnight. You can take your time adjusting, it will take us some time, too."

"Really~?" Tsubaki whined. "I wanted to hear you call me, onii-san, though!" He put his arm around Sakura's neck before she could do anything. Sakura scowled at him, shoving his arm off, the atmosphere broken.

"Go to hell."

"Chii, you okay?" Sakura turned to Ema as Juli worried over her. "Your coloring doesn't look too good."

"Ema, maybe you should sit down." Sakura immediately moved towards her, putting a hand on her shoulder and giving a concerned look.

"I'm fine." Ema gave a reassuring smile, but Sakura still stayed by her, even as she dropped her hand.

"Maybe we should sit down in the living room and wait for everyone." Ukyo offered. Sakura was more than happy to agree.

Sorry to LadyScatty. I have to wait a while before I give Kasai any more solo scenes. As of this chapter, Kasai has had two, Sakura has had one (this one), and Eimi has had none. That aside, I really hope you guys liked it!
