Before chapter seven begins, here is a small timeline and a character BIO;

Tsubaki Asahina
Age: 26
Gender: Male
Born: December 31, 1986
Eyes: Violet
Hair: Originally Brown, dyed his hair White
Bio: Triplets to Azusa and Natsume. Tsubaki is usually playful and easygoing, but can be very pushy sometimes. He likes to tease his brothers and Ema. He loves little sister characters with a passion, so Ema is a dream come true for him. However, he also has a serious side as well, especially when it comes to work. He takes his job very seriously, and he always does the best he can. He's also an otaku who loves anime, manga, and games. Before Ema joined the family, Tsubaki was very immature, teasing most of his brothers and rarely getting personal with anyone but Azusa. However, he also was shown to feel inferior to his twin brother, often feeling that he was the better actor. Ema helped him to feel needed by someone who wasn't his twin, saying that while Azusa was good at some things, Tsubaki had roles all his own that only he could play. She made him realize that he had to stop comparing himself to Azusa, and just be himself, because it was the things that made him different from his twin that made him unique. She encouraged him in his goals and reignited his passion and drive, but also made him see that there were other people in the world, people that might look at him instead of Azusa. These small actions, that showed how much she cared for him and his brothers, are what eventually make him fall in love with her, and cause him to mature drastically.
Goals: To become the greatest voice actor. To surpass Azusa at career and in love. Have the chance to be with Ema

Chapter Seven: Survivor
December 3, 2012; Natsume Apartment
Normal POV:
With a migrane, Natsume approaches the day as usual. Eating a small breakfast, dress in a business suit, heads off to work. In the office talking with his coworkers, his cell rings. Natsume coworker, Christina Hirai, young, new to the company and has a major crush on Natsume. Snatch his cellphone from his desk, stares at the caller ID and glares. "Who is Ema?"
Natsume snatches the phone from her grasp "Mind your own business." He leaves out the office to answer. "Ema?" It was static, couldn't hear her voice. When he did, his heart sours. "Ema... Are you okay?"
"I am fine Natsume... Its just been difficult to process." Her voice was rasp, like she has been crying.
"I see... It sounds like you are pulling through."
"How can you tell?"
"You are talking to me... A male... I say that is progress. I knew you would pull through. Your our sister."
"...I'm not really your sister."
"You will always be the Asahina precise sister, in our eyes." True to his statement. Ema will be a Asahina in their eyes. One way or another. "Ema, have you... Talked to any of our brothers?"
"No. You was the first person I called." Natsume smiled at her words. Wanting to believe that his voice, would be the only voice she heard. Not any of his brother. Only him alone. "I will be calling Masaomi when he picks up Wataru. I want to thank him for the other night."
"What happened the other night?"
"He gave me a kiss goodnight."
"That sneaky little bastard. "How sewwt of him" sweet and innocent my ass.
"Yeah, I wish, I wish I didn't make you guys worry about me."
"Ema, we love you. Your family. We will always worry."
Ema was happy to hear those words. She thought that maybe Wataru was being nice and that the rest of her brothers we're disgusted by her. "I guess... Natsume, I will be discharged from the hospital Friday. I was wondering if you would come see me. Oh! I am also going to tell the others! I mean... I don't mind just you showing I-I wasn't planning on... I-I mean, I mean..."
Natsume laugh, "Ema, Ema, calm down. I didn't insinuate anything. Listen I gotta go back to work. I will call you later. Rest easy Ema."
"Okay. See you Friday Natsume."
"Sooner than that sweet little princess." The phone dial ended, Natsume was in such a better mood. Monday's is now his favorite day of the week. Back at the office, Christina glared daggers at him with her piercing blue eyes. "Huh? Need anything Ms. Hirai?"
"Yes actually I do." Making a long sigh, Natsume sat at his desk, while all his other coworkers pretended to do there work. "Natsume... Who is this Ema girl? How come I never heard of her?"
"If I didn't know any better I would think that it is my business. Mines alone" getting annoyed. Back to work on his computer design.
"Well, is she someone special." His facial reaction made her loss her mind. Jealous, Christina walked away from Natsume. Curious who got him to smile. A smile she has never seen before. And his words, his words, who is Ema?
"Special in ways you cant imagine."

Asahina Residence
"Hello? Masaomi?"
"Ema?!" Wataru was in the other room when he heard his sister name. Rushing to the dinning area, Wataru tried to reach for the phone. "Yes I just picked up Wataru from school. He is eger to talk to you." Masaomi gave up his cell. He wanted to talk to her aswell, but as the older brother, he gave Wataru a chance.
"Big sister?"
"Thank you for the goodnight kiss the other night."
Wataru blushed, "you was awake?"
"A little; I am sorry for causing you to worry."
"It wasn't your fault."
"... I am coming home on Friday."
"Really!?"
Ema laughed at his cheerful reaction. "Let me talk to Masaomi about it. I love you Wataru."
His heart skipped a beat, "I love you too." Reluctant, he handed the phone back to his brother. Going up to his room, Wataru started his homework. On his table desk, a picture of him, Ema and Masaomi was on display. He wonders if his sister will smile the same way when he see's her on Friday. Masaomi call ended, going into the calendar section on his phone. Marked down the approaching Friday when his sister comes home. Fours days, four days until he see's her again. Four days until he can finally look her in the eyes. Four days for when he can finally hold her without the look of turmoil. Only four more days.
Most of the brothers came over to have a discussion. Thinking of ways how they can show Ema how much they care. Their rivalry will be put on hold. Right now what is most important, is to show how much they love her. Will always be there for their precious princess. Iori already presented he would bring her a bouquet of flowers, Ukyo made plans for excellent home cook meal. Yuusuke is already doing his along with Ema assignments so she wont be kicked out. Want to do more, what else could they do to show their love.

Tenma Hospital, Ema Hospital Room
Ema POV:
Hearing their voices is different from seeing them. I wanted to cry my sorrow away. To see them without fear, will I be able to do it. Hoped god heard her prayers for healing. Mind, body and soul. Trying to be strong, really am trying. Dr. Samantha gave me a journal to write all my thoughts down. I didn't realize all these pent up emotions was built inside me. Every detail on paper, expressed in ways I never imagine. How his lips felt against my skin, roughly touch hands, breath that makes me sick to my stomach. Pure sickness. I thought I was alone in the world. That after what happened to me, I would be treated like an outcast. Opening up my heart again to trust. Not every male is a sex offender waiting to happen. For the first time, Tomo- he was on my mind. Was the police able to find him? Is he in prison now? He shouldn't occupy my thoughts, that... bastard! I have the right to seek justice. For what he has done.
Hope he rot's in hell.
The last person i talk to was Yuki. Decided to hear the full story from her... I mean him. He suffered so much. Said that he tried to let go, but every time he did. Felt like he was betraying is sister memory. I wanted to help. But how can I help another, when I cant help myself. Yuki is my best friend. No matter what, I will be their for him. He said that once he lets go, that he wants to tell me something important. Something he hide from me.
With what happened, I am willing to listen. I am ready to fight for my life back.

Middle of Nowhere
Normal POV:
So cold. Yet so warm. Sunsets, leading down a dark road. Sleep wasted, no rest for the wicked. In a familiar town away from demons. A cheap motel, necessary to shower. A local clothing store, change of identity. Turning to channel news, a face now plastered across the screen. Now a wanted man. Guilty? Yes. Never imagine jealously would lead down this path. Wanted to see her again. Make things right. Hope that these events can be put in the past. Yearning to try again. Yearning for honor. Knowing that she is a forgiven person. If done right by the heart of love. God would forgive a soul that couldn't contain his love. That pure love that was in devils hand to wield. A cheap motel phone, calling the one person that might listen. The one person who has no choice but to listen. They share the same love. He will listen. Listen to a heart that cry's for her love.
"Hello?"
"... Yuki, my brother... I fucked up"

Tenma Hospital
Louis found a beautiful dress for Ema to wear. A yellow summer dress, ties around the neck, white flowers all around. White wedge sandals, that buckles around her ankle. Hair in a single braid. Wearing a white pearl flower pendant necklace, with a matching ring on her right index finger. Dr. Samantha walked into the room with Ema released form papers. "Oh my goodness. You look so beautiful" Samantha gushed.
Ema felt embarrassed, she wanted to say she didn't feel beautiful. Held her tongue not wanting to debate. "Thank you" excepting the compliment.
"She is natural. Its just this braid. I feel it would look best in curls."
"Huh?! No its just-"
"I agree. The braid looks nice. Not really a good match for the outfit."
"Aren't you the trendsetter" Louis smiled.
Samantha laughed, "I do my best. Now can I have your signature, Masaomi already filled the rest of the papers." Ema applied to her wishes. Fours days just flew by before anyone notice. "Thank you, congratulations Ema. You really do look beautiful." Samantha exit the room. Left alone again, Ema sat back down as Louis undo's the braid. His gentle touch always calm's her. Starting to feel safe again. When he first came in early morning, nerves kicked in. As time passed, felt like old times.
"Louis... I'm glad your here."
Louis smiled at her redden cheeks. A kiss on her left, she flinch. He knew why. To show nothing change he laughed. "So cute. Whenever you need someone to talk to. I will be there... I... All of us will be there when you need a ear or shoulder to cry on."
Now loose curly hair, with a side bang, attach to a yellow hairclip. Frames her face perfectly. Stares into her reflection. Doesn't really see herself in the mirror, doesn't feel pretty. What Ema see's is a different woman. A woman who can never go back to a previous life. A woman that seems indifferent about life. Ema hopes this new woman can help her survive in this unfamiliar new world. "Ema, are you ready?"
Taking a deep breath, grabs her journal and place it inside her pink handbag. Leaving her hospital room. On her old bed, was a piece of paper that read Louis question. One single answer, which read;
"Ready"
