This happened because I was inspired. Next chapter begins the first real 'arc', I guess. This chapter is a filler, just to let you know her backstory, which is pretty dark. . I'm still amazed by all the support this is getting! Thank you guys so much. This chapter is a longer one.

Undertario: Oooh, that's interesting.

coolPastagal: Can you please tell me what you find confusing?

ONWARDS!

They took Yumi back to the house, helping the young teen put her stuff away. Frisk presented her with a laptop and earbuds, her little gift to the girl.

"Here, this is from Chara and I." she said, handing it to the girl. They were both sitting on her queen sized bed. Yumi's eyes widened as she shook her head profusely. "I can't except that!" she denied.

Frisk frowned. "C'mon, Yumi. We're family now." she said, giving her a small wink as she said 'sisters'.

Yumi's eyes widened once more, little tears forming in the corners of them. She sniffled. "Why are you being so nice to me?" she asked, tears falling from her eyes.

Frisk smiled once more, a hint of sadness in their tone as she soothed the other girl. "I know what it feels like. I know what it feels like to be hit for a small mistake, or an A- on your report card, or just for no good reason, okay? I know what it feels like to struggle through each passing day, wanting to end it all with every fiber of your being. I know how you feel. And honestly, I know how much you've been through, and I know what it's like to have your innocence taken from you. I want you to take this, as celebration for being strong enough to live."

Yumi nodded, a weak nod. "I guess I'll be with you and Chara from now on, huh?" she gave Frisk a watery and weak smile.

Frisk nodded, giggling slightly. "Now c'mon! You've got to meet the others." she said, pulling Yumi's arm.

Yumi stood up, wearing a dark blue and yellow striped sweater, and black pants.

She sighed softly as she was pulled along by her sleeve, looking over at Frisk with caring eyes.

"Let's go." she grinned.

Frisk tugged Yumi into the kitchen first, where Toriel was working on dinner and Chara was doing homework. Chara and Toriel looked up as they entered, each greeting them.

"Yo!" Chara gave them both a smile.

"Ah, my children. Dinner is almost ready. Could you go round everyone up?" Toriel asked, a black apron over her clothes.

Frisk nodded, and Yumi gave a small smile, nodding her head as well.

"No one has ever refered to me as 'My child' before. It's always just been 'Yumi.'" Yumi thought, liking the motherly warmth that radiated from Toriel.

Chara gave her a grin, as if to say, 'You and I will be great friends!'

Frisk dragged her away, walking into the hallway.

"Sans and Toriel have a thing for each other, I just know it." Yumi declared suddenly.

Frisk lifted an eyebrow, an amused expression on their face. "Why do you think that?"

"I dunno, just a gut feeling, I guess." She shrugged, already feeling comfortable in Frisk's presence.

"You have a keen eye, madam." Frisk joked. "They have a thing for each other, yeah. Actually," Frisk leaned in closer, " We've all placed bets on how long it'll be until they confess to each other."

Yumi giggled at the joke. "I want in on this little bet."

Frisk giggled as well. "How long do you think?"

"I'm giving it two weeks to escalate, and 17 days to happen." she grinned smugly.

Frisk looked at her, amusement swirling in her cerulean orbs. "Why do you think that?"

Yumi winked. "I'll never tell."

They both laughed, entering Undyne and Alphys' room. "

"Time for dinner!" they both chimed, interrupting their cuddle session.

"Awe man! It was just getting to the good part." Undyne groaned, pausing the show.

Frisk looked at the screen. There was a pink-haired man onscreen, along with a busty blonde, a blue cat, a redhead, and a dark haired man.

"You guys are still watching Fairy Tail?" Frisk asked, rather quietly.

"Y-Yeah." Alphys answered.

"It's pretty long." Undyne answered.

"Alright, well we gotta go get the others." Frisk smiled and waved, walking out with Yumi.

"Wait. Who was that with her?" Undyne asked once they had left.

"I have no idea." Alphys answered.

Frisk knocked on Papyrus' bedroom door.

"Dinner's ready!" she called through the door.

They both walked back down the hall, looking at the large living room.

The front door was in the living room, which had a set of stairs against the right wall, and there was a hallway, the first part open. There was a railing on the other side of the hallway, the part that was open, acting as a barrier so no one fell off. There was a wall separating the kitchen from the living room, which was where the open part of the hallway stopped.

Sans was on the couch, watching TV as usual.

"Dinner!" Frisk called, walking through the living room with Yumi.

"alright, be there in a second kiddo." he said.

They both nodded, walking back into the kitchen.

Frisk's eyebrows rose when she saw Chara helping in the kitchen, watching in amusement.

Music played in the kitchen, the song that was playing ending, and Toriel turning it off.

They both sat at the table, giggling as Chara turned around, giving them an annoyed look.

They both giggled harder, as a small smile grew on Chara's face.

Soon enough, the others joined them. When everyone had finally sat down, Frisk stood up, tugging Yumi with her.

She cleared her throat, grabbing everyone's attention.

Three pairs of eyes turned towards the twelve-year-old, along with four eyesockets and one more eye.

She smiled, silently thanking them.

"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of our family, Yumi." they said, nodding towards Yumi.

"Ohh, she's family?! As in Toriel adopted her?" Undyne asked.

Frisk nodded. "She's really nice, and I know you all will like her."

Yumi blushed at the compliment, still not used to receiving them.

"It's nice to meet you all." she said shyly.

"THIS IS GREAT! WE HAVE ANOTHER HUMAN THAT CAN SPEND TIME WITH THE GREAT PAPYRUS!" Papyrus said, quite loudly.

Frisk nodded mutely, smiling. They sat back down.

"So kid, is that your natural hair color?" Undyne asked, referring to her black and white hair.

She shook her head. "No. My actual hair color is a medium chestnut brown, but I had to dye my hair this way a couple of years back because my adoptive parents didn't like the color, and I've kept it this way."

Undyne hummed. "So tell me, and if I'm prying-stop me-but what were your parents and adoptive parents like?" she asked, unusually calm for some reason. The table was silent as Alphys elbowed her girlfriend.

"Undyne! You can't just ask her that!" Chara said defensively, coming to the newer girl's defense.

Yumi cut her off before she could scold Undyne any more, giving her a serene smile. "No, it's fine, really. Thank you though. If I'm going to be a member of this family, I should be honest with you guys, right?"

She looked back at Undyne. "Well, my mother was an amazing woman. She primarily worked as a detective, but performed at chairty events and helped the homeless. I remember once, there was a homeless man in front of a pharmacy, and she stopped and pulled twenty dollars out of her purse, telling him to go get himself something to eat, and gave him a ride to the shelter. But, not everyone is a good person. My father was...just horrible. He told me he never liked me, and he hit me a lot, mostly because he was a drunk. He always acted like the nicest guy in the world around mom, and I kept quiet about the abuse because it seemed to me like they loved each other, but that wasn't true either. I was walking to a friends house when she was killed." Her hands tightened into fists, and tears built up behind her eyes. "She had been pulled into an alleyway by my father, and was killed by her own gun. I watched the whole thing happen. I had never seen her look so hurt and scared. He put the gun to her head and told her that he never loved her, and then he-he pulled the trigger." A tear fell into her lap. "They say people tend to block out traumatic memories, but that isn't the case for me. I-I remember him watching with twisted satisfaction as her body slid down the wall, lifeless. Then he walked out of the alleyway. I was so scared and afraid. I ran towards my mother looking down at her. My stomach twisted into knots. I cried for hours and hours on end. No one found me, but, when I went home that night, he tried to kill me." She stood, pulling her sweater down to show her shoulder. Right above her breast and next to her armpit was a scar. "This is what resulted. I walked inside, where he was waiting." she took a deep breath, fixing her sweater. "He fired at me, and it hit, giving me the scar you just saw. I don't know what he was aiming for, but it hit me. I screamed out, clutching my shoulder as he pointed the gun at me again. I got back to my feet, running at him. I swung at him, knocking him down. I was only 8, but I had some fighting lessons from mom under my belt. I had punched him in the stomach, and the gun fell to his left. Without thinking, I grabbed it, running before he could even think to catch me. He got back up, and he threatened to kill me, and asked me what I was going to do. He taunted me, telling me that I wouldn't kill him. I aimed with the gun-letting go of my arm and I shot at his head. The bullet hit him, and he died. I looked away, body trembling. Our neighbors had heard the shots and called the police, who showed up quickly. One of the policewomen saw me, clutching my arm, a gun in front of me, and they got me some help. Once I had told them what had happened, they ruled my father's homicide a self defense case. I was immediately moved to this town, the officials agreeing that it would be too painful to keep me in my hometown. I was put into foster care, rotating homes every couple months. This went on for a couple years, until I got placed in the care of the two that Frisk, Chara and sans, saved me from. They were horrible. I had to be the best in everything. Anything except an A+ on my report card and I was hit and screamed at. But I was saved, and now I'm here." she smiled.

Everything stayed silent for a while, until Chara and Frisk looked at each other, standing.

They walked over to Yumi, pulling her into a hug. Toriel joined them, hugging them all. Alphys was next, then sans and Undyne. Last was Papyrus, who joined the hug happily.

Yumi sighed happily, and everyone looked at her strangely.

"I'm sorry. I've just never been surrounded by so much warmth and kindness before. I like it." she smiled.

Chara smiled, a plan hatched in her mind.

"You know what Toriel and sans like? Puns." she grinned.

Yumi giggled. "Why do I feel like this is going to be funny?"

"Oh trust me, it's going to be very humerus." Sans joked, giving them a wink.

"SANS!" Papyrus groaned.

Yumi just giggled as Toriel laughed along.

"What are you going to do, pap? Punish me?"

The playful banter continued, and Yumi laughed harder than she had in a while.

"I could get used to this." she thought contently.

Oooh, so now we know Yumi's past. Was this chapter too dark? I hope not.

Question Time!:

So, Chara X Frisk or Asriel X Frisk OR Asriel X Chara? I gots to know.

Until Next time:
