DISCALAIMER: I DO NOT WON BROTHERS CONFLICT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM
Kimi walked around some more, trying to really get to know the room a little. She looked in at the rather big doll house then turned her attention to little play farm. She picked up one of the toy cows and made it move around.
"Hmm, what do you think Beenjee?" she asked her toy. It was then she noticed the little table and chairs that were just her size. Next to it was a toy tea set still in its box. The picture of the set looked cute. Kimi did like playing with the play tea set back at the orphanage.
"Here Beenjee," she said putting him down in one of the chairs and picking up the box. However it was hard for her to open it at all.
'I wonder if it would be alright to ask one of my brothers or sister to open it for me,' she thought. She picked up the box as best she could and carried it out. As she came to the end of the hallway and towards the stairs she could hear her new mommy and daddy talking.
"We're really sorry to have to do this to you all," Rintaro said to the sons and Ema once he and Miwa had explained the situation to the rest of them.
"It's fine," said Ukyo, "It just means that Kimi has come to stay with us sooner than planned."
"Yay, Little Sister is staying here! Little Sister is staying here!" Wataru kept cheering.
"Well take good care of her I'm sure," said Ema.
"I'm counting on that," said Miwa.
"Would any of you be interested in helping us unload a bit of Kimi's things?" Rintaro asked.
"Sure," Ukyo and Masaomi both said at the same time.
"I want to help too! I want to help too!" Wataru insisted.
"There's not that much dear," said Miwa, "Why don't you just let your brothers help and maybe you can go see how your new sister is doing?"
"Oh, okay," said Wataru.
"I better go with him," said Ema running after him.
Both were surprised to see Kimi standing at the top.
"Oh hi Kimi!" said Wataru.
"How are you doing Kimi?" asked Ema. She noticed the box in Kimi's hands, "Were you hoping to play with that?"
"Won't open," said Kimi.
"Oh I see," said Ema taking the box, "Let's see, maybe if I were to pull at it here." She tried to pull at some of the packaging tape but it was really hard to peel off, "Or maybe not."
"I can do!" Wataru bragged as he tried getting the tape off the box. He put the box on the ground standing upright and struggled at getting the tape off as well. He kept trying and tying until he accidentally knocked the box down with a loud thud. The dishes could be heard smashing a little.
"What's all that noise?" Subaru asked walking up the stairs with his gym bag in his hand.
"We can't seem to get Kimi's new tea set open," said Ema.
"Hmm, here," said Subaru kneeling down and pulling out a small pair of scissors to cute the tape off.
"Thank you," said Kimi softly. She carefully grabbed her box as if she was afraid Subaru was going to strike at her if she moved too slow.
"Oh no fair!" said Wataru, "I wanted to be the big brother who helped Kimi get her box open!"
"Do you want to go play with your tea set Kimi?" Ema asked smiling. Kimi nodded.
"I want to play too! I want to play too!" Wataru insisted. Kimi didn't really like the idea of him playing if he was going to be yelling like that so much.
"So this is it?" asked Masaomi as he and Ukyo helped Rintaro pull out the few bags from the back of the car.
"Yeah, there wasn't that much," said Rintaro, "Kimi's lived at the orphanage for nearly all of life up until now."
"Really, she doesn't know anything about her real parents or anything from her old life?" asked Ukyo.
"No, not that we could find," said Miwa, "Oh that reminds me." She handed Ukyo some files, "this will help in completing the Kimi's enrollment into school."
"Thank you," said Ukyo, "this shouldn't be too hard to manage."
"You'll have to make sure to tell them you're her brothers not her father when you do," Rintaro joked.
"Oh don't worry we will," said Masaomi, "I guess Kimi could be young enough to be either one of our daughters huh?"
"No kidding!" said his mother, "Both of you. You're both fine men with fine careers and you're not getting any younger you know." Both brothers looked at each other.
"Miwa, don't pressure the boys," said Rintaro, "let's get going okay? I've check the flight schedule at the airport. If we get hurry I think we can make an early evening flight."
"Fine, let's get this over with," said Miwa, "The sooner we get it done with the sooner we can come home and be with Kimi like we wanted to. Bye boys, love you both."
"Bye Mom, Bye Dad" said both Masaomi and Ukyo as their parents got back into the car and drove off.
"Mom seemed to be a bit snippy with us about still being single huh?" Ukyo as he and his brother walked back inside with Kimi's things.
"You think she's trying to get a point across?" Masaomi asked.
"Oh probably," said Ukyo, "but I guess in a way she has a point."
"Oh don't go on like that," said Masaomi, "we're still young, there's still time. And in the meantime we have Kimi and even Wataru to dote upon right?"
"Sure," said Ukyo.
"Oh this is a nice tea set," said Ema as she and Kimi helped set it up on her table, "do you like it Kimi?" Kimi nodded with a smile before she finished putting the last piece of tea set on the table.
"All done," she said.
"Yay, tea party!" said Wataru grabbing a cup and pretending to drink.
"He should be more respectful and let Little Chi drink from her tea first!" said Juli.
"It's okay, he can drink from it first," said Kimi.
"Huh?" said Juli and Ema at Kimi's response. Wataru seemed too busy pretending to drink his tea to pay attention.
"Did she hear what it was you were saying?" Ema asked.
"I think she did," said Juli.
"Can Juli really talk?" asked Kimi .
"Well kind of," said Ema, "Only Louis and I can really hear what it he says, but I guess you can as well."
"Louis?" said Kimi pulling out her photo. She tried looking at the names to see if she could tell which one said Louis.
"Oh he's right here," said Ema pointing to one of the boys who to Kimi looked really beautiful.
"He's probably at work at the moment so you'll get to meet him later. I'm sure he's going to like your hair considering how golden it is. He really likes styling hair."
"Louis is great with hair!" said Wataru.
"So how's everything going in here?" Masaomi asked as he and Ukyo walking into the room with Kimi's things.
"We're having a tea party!" said Wataru with joy holding up his cup.
"Oh sounds like fun," said Ukyo as he started to unpack some of Kimi's things like her clothes and putting them away in her closet or draw.
"Do you like your tea set Kimi?" Masaomi asked as he also helped put some of Kimi's things away.
"It's pretty," said Kimi.
"I should hope so seeing as how your big sister helped pick it out," said Masaomi.
"You did?" asked Kimi.
"Yes, Miwa asked me to help pick out some toys for you," said Ema.
"I helped too!" said Wataru, "I picked out that toy farm for you! Do you like it Little Sis?" Kimi nodded looking back at her farm.
"I'm sure Kimi's going to have lots of time to look at the different toys and things in her room. She should just stick to enjoying her tea set for now," said Masaomi.
"Well I think that's everything for now," said Ukyo, "It's getting late. I should really get started on dinner."
"Do you want my help?" asked Ema.
"No I can do it on my own. You can stay here and play with Kimi for a bit longer if you want," said Ukyo.
"What are we having for diner?" asked Wataru, "Something special for Kimi?"
"Well, I was planning on making a special meal for when Kimi came to stay with us but that was going to be in a few weeks from now so unfortunately I don't have anything real special planned for dinner tonight. Sorry Kimi."
'It's okay," said Kimi. She didn't really understand what was going on but figured it wasn't her big brother Ukyo's fault.
"You are sweet," said Ukyo as he walked out.
"You three can stay here and play for a bit longer or maybe try showing Kimi around the house so can figure out where everything is so she doesn't get lost," suggested Masaomi.
"Would you like that Kimi? Would you like to se the whole house?" asked Ema, "We can show were the bathroom is and everything."
"Yeah and show her where my room is!" said Wataru, "I have lots and lots of toys in there too Little Sis! You should come and see!"
"Wataru, remember, don't overwhelm her okay?" said Masaomi.
"Oh okay," said Wataru.
"Come on Kimi," said Ema.
"Okay," said Kimi, making sure to grab Beenjee who was still sitting in his seat. She figured Beenjee could help make her feel safe especially being around Wataru.
"Who's your friend Kimi?" Ema asked.
"Beenjee," said Kimi.
"I have a big bunny in my room! Want to see?!" Wataru asked.
"How about we save that for last?" suggested Ema, "Come on Kimi."
Kimi eagerly fallowed after her.
She let Ema lead her along the different hallways and corridors showing her the different rooms and places this new homes of hers.
"This is my room," said Ema leading her another door, "It's not too far from your room either. So if you need anything, you can come to me okay?"
"Thank you," said Kimi. She did feel god that her big sister was going to be close to her.
"Oh what's going on here?" Kaname asked coming down the hallway.
"We're showing Kimi around the home," said Wataru.
"Oh, did you show her where my room is?" Kaname asked making sure to come to Kimi's level, "Just so you know, my door is always open for you little sister, just like it is for my other sweet little sister." He winked a Ema as he said that causing Juli to hiss at him.
"Curse you!" he snarled.
He jumped from Ema's shoulder and scratched at Kaname's face. "Don't think that just be I have two to protect now I'll my guard down and allow you to move in for a strike on Chi!"
"What's wrong Juli?" asked Kimi.
"I have to protect you and Chi from these wolves Little Chi!" said Juli, "They've all been trying to go after Chi since she moved in! I won't let them get her and I won't let them get you either little Chi!"
"Wolves?" said Kimi.
"Dinner's ready," said Masaomi called out, "You better hurry up before it gets cold."
"Come on Little Sister! You can sit next to me!" said Wataru.
"I want to sit next to my big sister," said Kimi.
"Huh?" said Wataru sounding upset that Kimi had said she waned to sit next to Ema instead of him.
"I'm sure we can each sit either side of you," said Ema, "How about that?"
"Okay," Kimi agreed. She made sure to hold onto Ema's hand tightly as everyone walked to the dining room where most of the other brothers were starting to gather. Kimi was caught off guard by someone lifting her up unexpectedly.
"Hello again little sister," said Tsubaki, "I was wondering what happened to you."
"Tsubaki, put her down," said Azusa.
"Oh why would I want to put down my sweet little sister?" asked Tsubaki.
"Here Kimi, we have a chair here with a booster seat for you," said Masaomi pulling a chair out for her. Tsubaki carried her over to the chair and put her down into it.
"There we go," he said. He was about to pull the chair next to her out when Wataru quickly jumped into it.
"I get to sit next to Little Sis!" he declared.
"Okay, fine," said Tsubaki moving over to a chair next to Azusa.
"Kimi," Masaomi said still standing next to her chair, "How are you liking your new home?"
"It's big," said Kimi.
"Yes but a big family requires a big home and as long as you're here Kimi you're a part of this family okay?" Masaomi assured her with a kind smile. Kimi looked around at her big brothers who were all looking at her, most with smiles on their face as well. It was starting to feel kind of nice having a big family like this. Maybe it wasn't going to be so bad after all. She just had to get use to it, especially Wataru and his really over exciting attitude.
