DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BROTHERS CONFLICT IN ANY WAY, SHAPE OR FORM

"...and then all the kids didn't want to play with me," Kimi told Hikaru as she sat with him in her room. She held Beenjee in her arms as she told him what happened at school that day.

"My, my," said Hikaru with a smirk "So Wataru tried acting like a big protective brother did? It's kind of sweet."

"Not when it makes other not want to play with me," said Kimi sadly.

"Oh are you feeling lonely Kimi?" asked Hikaru tapping her nose.

"A little," Kimi admitted, "Back at the orphanage I had lots of friends to play with my age. Now all I have is older brothers and an older sister. They're either too busy to play with me or they're too loud and scare away people who do."

"Like Wataru did?" said Hikaru, "Well family can sometimes be busy but at least you know they'll always love you and will do what they can do for you when they can. And as for Wataru well family is also known for making mistakes with other family but they should also know how to make up when the time's right."

"You mean I should go apologized to Wataru?" asked Kimi.

"Well not right away but it would be a good idea to forgive him since he only did what he did out of love," said Hikaru, "And it would make him feel good knowing you still care."

"Okay," said Kimi feeling a little better. She manage to give her newest brother a smile.

"That's better, I like that," said Hikaru.

"Kimi, are you in here?" asked Ema walking into the room, "Oh Hikaru I didn't realize you were here."

"Just arrived and I found a sad little girl. I couldn't let that be," said Hikaru.

"Oh Kimi, are you feeling better than?" asked Ema walking over to her little sister.

"A little," said Kimi.

"I'm sure Wataru didn't mean anything bad by what he did today," Ema assured her. Kimi nodded in understanding. "Oh Hikaru would you like to stay for dinner?"

"I would love for a chance to dine with my new little sister," said Hikaru.

"I'll go let Ukyo know then," said Ema, "And Kimi when you're ready you better go wash up."

"Right," said Kimi hurrying out to the bathroom to wash up still holding Beenjee. She tired reaching the sink but was once again too short for it. However she didn't have to worry about it too much when she felt herself being lifted up. She turned her head and saw it was Subaru.

"Here, better?" he asked.

"Yes," said Kimi timidly before she started washing her hands, "thank you."

"Sure," said Subaru like it was nothing, "I wonder if we have any kind of old step-stool or something. I'm sure Kyo can help with it." He put her back down, "You okay? You look sad."

"I had a bad day of school because of Wataru. He tried protecting me and scared everyone in my class," said Kimi.

"Oh bummer," said Subaru, "Well don't be too mad at him. He was only doing to because he wants to be a good big brother."

"That's what Hikaru said," said Kimi.

"Hikaru's here?" asked Subaru, "great."

"Hmm?" said Kimi not sure if she understood why Subaru didn't sound too thrilled over his brother being here. Maybe other siblings did sometimes have a hard time dealing with each other.

"I wish you'd give us more of a warning of when you're coming home or not," said Ukyo as he served up dinner.

"And not catch you at your best? Why would I give up that?" asked Hikaru.

"You never change do you?" said Masaomi, "So Kimi how was your first day at school?"

Kimi cast a glance over at Wataru who once again was sitting next to her.

"It was fun," she said, "all the kids were really nice! I can't wait to make friends."

"That's good to know," said Masaomi, "I was hoping you'd do fine with it. I'm sure you'll make lots of friends in time."

"Assuming Wataru doesn't screw it up," muttered Yusuke.

"What was that?" asked Masaomi.

"Nothing," said Hikaru slapping Yusuke on the head in a playful fashion, "You know Yusuke, always having to be going off like a delinquent."

"Hmm, well nothing new there," said Masaomi. Yusuke groaned sneering at Hikaru while rubbing his head.

"Thank you very much for your help Kimi," said Ukyo after dinner as Kimi did her best to help put some of the dirty dishes on the counter. Kimi smiled proudly.

"More help?" she offered.

"No I can do the rest on my own. Why don't you go play for a bit?" suggested Ukyo.

"Okay," said Kimi. She went over and grabbed Beenjee and headed outside. She put her toy down near the tree and managed to find the ball she liked playing with and started bouncing it around. She was actually starting to feel better as she bounced it around and chased it around the courtyard.

"I'm going to bonce it really nigh now Beenjee, watch!" Kimi shouted as she bounced the ball again. She watched it fly high in the ground and start come down, right as a new person came into the courtyard, near where the ball was about to land.

"Uh-oh!" said Kimi.

"What the?!" said the boy as the ball nearly hit him, "Who did that?!" He looked around until he saw Kimi standing looking scared, "Did you do throw the ball at me?!"

"Uh, I didn't mean to," said Kimi timidly.

"This ball could have given me a bruise my face and as a pop star I can't afford to have a bruised face!" the boy complained, "Who are you anyway?"

"Ki, Kimi," said the little girl timidly.

"Kimi?" said the boy, "Wasn't that the name of the girl Miwa said she was adopting? Don't tell me you're her."

"Uh," said Kimi not sure what to say.

"You sound just as dumb as the last girl she had come live here," the boy continued to go on, "I bet you don't eve know who I am." Kimi shook her head no. "Seriously, how dumb are you? I happen to the famous pop star Futo and your big brother."

"Futo?" said Kimi. She wasn't sure if she remembered that brother mentioned or not.

"You are dumb," said Futo snidely. It was then he cast a glance over at the tree and saw Beenjee sitting near it. "What's this?" he walked over and picked the toy up.

"Bennjee," said Kimi running over to the boy and her toy. She tried to take Beenjee back but Futo kept it just out of her reach.

"What a dumb looking toy," he said looking it over.

"Can I have him back?" asked Kimi. Futo looked down at her and an evil smile slowly crossed his face.

"What, you can't try sharing with your big brother?" he asked as he dangled the toy over her head.

"Please can I have him back?" asked Kimi.

"What is this thing suppose to be anyway?" asked Futo.

"Beenjee's an elephant," said Kimi still trying to get it back.

"An elephant? You can hardly tell," said Futo.

"Please give Beenjee back," Kimi pleaded still trying to get her favorite toy back.

"Sure," said Futo at last, "Here catch." He tossed the toy high up in the air, "Oops."

Beenjee sailed up and landed up in the tree. Kimi looked up alarm where she saw Beenjee stuck up in some of the branches so high up she couldn't get to it. She tried jumping to get him but it was no use.

"Something wrong?" asked Futo smugly.

"I, I can't reach Beenjee!" said Kimi.

"Oh dear looks like he'll be stuck up there forever," said Futo.

'Forever?' Kimi thought. She didn't want Beenjee to be stuck up there forever. The idea upset her so much she started to cry.

"Oh brother, don't be like that," said Futo sounding annoyed.

"Hey, what's going on out here?!" the two heard Yusuke heard as he came storming out. He paused when he noticed Futo was standing out there with Kimi. "Great first Hikaru and torming out. He paused when he noticed Futo was standing out there with Kimi. "Great first Hikaru and now the stupid pop star!"

"Stupid?" said Futo, "Oh that's original coming from you."

"Whatever," said Yusuke getting annoyed, "Why is she crying?" He pointed to Kimi who was still standing and crying next to the tree.

"Huh, I don't know," said Futo casually glancing over at Kimi.

"Beenjee!" said Kimi pointing up.

"Huh?" said Yusuke walking over to the tree and looks up to where he saw the toy stuck, "How did that end up there?" Kimi just pointed over to Futo, too upset to talk clearly. "What did you do?!" Yusuke demanded to know.

"It was an accident," said the pop star, "It's not like I tossed it up on purpose."

"Yeah I bet!" said Yusuke. He looked back at Kimi who was still crying, "Hey, hey stop crying. I'll get him back down."

Kimi stopped crying after hearing that. She looked up as Yusuke stared to ascend the tree.

"You're not actually going to climb that thing are you?" asked Futo as he too watched.

"Shut up!" Yusuke called down as he continued to climb. He soon reached the same height as Beenjee but he was still just out of his reach. He tried reaching out to grab at it but just couldn't reach. "Almost got it!" He tried calling down. It looked like the toy was just about shaken free.

"Kimi, are you still out here?" he suddenly heard Ema calling out. It startled him too much that he lost his balance and not only did the toy fall out of the tree but he himself started to fall.

Kimi watched from the ground as she saw her toy first land next to her.

"Beenjee!" she said happily picking up her toy. However she was soon pulled back by someone as Yusuke came landing down on the ground hard.

"Ah!" he shouted in pain.

"Yusuke!" said Ema when she saw Yusuke fall.

"Yusuke?" said Kimi in alarm.

"Don't worry you're safe," said Futo, "I made sure to get you out-of-the-way in time."

"Yusuke are you okay?!" Ema shouted running over to him.

"Ah my back!" said Yusuke holding it.

"Can you move?" asked Ema.

"It's hurts a lot!" said Yusuke.

"We should get you inside!" said Ema. She looked up and saw Futo was standing nearby with Kimi, "Futo, you're back."

"Of course, I came to meet my little sister," said Futo with his arms on his Kimi's shoulders.

"Huh?" said Kimi. A while ago it didn't seem like he was thrilled with the idea of meeting her.

"Well can you help me get Yusuke up and into the house?" asked Ema.

"I don't know, it might be hard on my frail body as a pop star and all," said Futo.

"This is all your fault to begin with!" said Yusuke as he tried to get up only to moan in pain.

"I'll be right back with help!" said Ema hurrying back into the house.

"Yusuke?" said Kimi timidly walking over to boy. He had his eyes closed in agony. "I'm sorry," she said softly. She felt it was her fault seeing as how he had only climbed the tree to get her toy for her.

"Huh?" Yusuke asked opening one eye.

"Yusuke!" said Masaomi as he came running out with Ema, "How bad is your back?"

"Ah it feels bad," Yusuke moaned.

"Come let's get you inside," said Masaomi as he helped get Yusuke to stand with one of his arms looped over his shoulder. Ema did the same, looping Yusuke's arm over her shoulder as well. Yusuke's face started to turn red as the touch.

"It's probably not serious," Masaomi assured his brother as he and Ema helped lead him into the house.

Kimi watched totally shocked that poor Yusuke had gotten hurt.

"Well hopefully it'll teach him a lesson," said Futo, "Next time get a ladder."

"Is it my fault Yusuke got hurt?" asked Kimi.

"Well I suppose in a way, it was your toy that got stuck in the tree," said Futo, "Maybe next time you should be more careful with your toys less you get someone hurt."

"Oh," Kimi moaned feeling even worse that Yusuke got hurt.
