(Quietly sings MONSTA X's Jealousy in the corner like an idiot xD.)
Another days have passed and it was nearing Christmas. Arriving the doorstep, the two girls noticed the mail and Ema took a look at it. Turns out it was from Natsume, he sent her a mail.
The sound of the opening of the sliding door and footsteps caught their attention. Turns out it was Tsubaki who walked passed them looking quite strange and didn't noticed them. Ema called out to him.
"Oh, Tsubaki-san." The said male turned around with a blank face.
"The game arrived from Natsume-san." Ema ecstatically said. Tsubaki just weakly smiled at her before leaving. Ayame narrowed her eyes at his weird behavior.
The automatic sliding door opened once again and Azusa went out looking quite haggard.
"Have you two seen Tsubaki?" He asked and the two nodded.
"He just went out... Did something happened?" Ema and as Azusa followed Tsubaki outside.
"We're home." Ema turned on the light of her room making Juli awake and Ayame entered also.
"Is something the matter?" Juli asked seeing Ema's gloomy face.
"Yeah, Aya-nee and I saw Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san downstairs, but..."
"Seems something happened between the two of them..." Ayame finished as she lay her back down beside the bed.
"Those guys are always strange." Ema hummed and Juli noticed something. "By the way, what's that, Chii?"
"I was also wondering about that." Ayame said Ema opened it revealing a disk. Her eyes narrowed as she stared at the title.
"Natsume-san sent me a disc of the game in development.
"Panzer...of the Dead?" She asked as she stare at the disc. Ema now hid it back in the paper bag.
"Yup! Aya-nee let's play this!" Ema excitedly said while Ayame just waved her hand.
"Nah, I'll just guide you or whatsoever..." Ayame continued eating the chips as Ema started the game.
"Aya-nee! Don't eat all of it at once!" She scolded as she took the chips from her.
"Panzer of the Dead" Two familiar voices spoke in unison from the screen. Ema stared at the screen in awe along with Juli.
"Not bad..." Ayame mumbled as she ate some of the chips despite Ema's scolding look.
"If this was also a Yaoi game, I'm already in heaven." She blankly said while Ema and Juli sweatdropped at the purplehead's antics.
Ema now started pressing buttons on the remote control as she pick on the screen. Ayame was now lying on the bed, on her stomach still beside Ema, watching as she lost interest as soon as she saw the game.
"So this game is about switching from tank to tank, to survive a battlefield crawling with zombies." Ema said as she now play.
"This game is in poor taste." Juli commented and Ayame silently nodded.
"Follow me, Michael! We'll breakthrough the enemy line!"
"All right, Walter! Lead the way!"
Juli slowly walk towards the television and started hissing hearing the twins voice.
"Juli, you're bothering me." Ema move Juli back by the back of her hand. Soon, the cutscenes appeared and Ema watched with interest and awe.
"Looks like I've screwed up."
"Don't worry about it. An injury like that... It's just a scratch-"
"I'm hungry..." Ayame mumbled as she rub her stomach. "I'm craving for sweets..."
"-I'll go get help right away."
"You...suck at lying..."
"I don't really know, but... I can't believe I'm feeling so moved by a zombie game..." Ema commented as she eat some chips. "Tsubaki-san and Azusa-san really are both amazing." She added.
"So this is the power of professional voice acting, huh." Juli said his arms crossed anow continue her game after the cutscene ended.
Hours passed and soon, morning arrived. Despite this, a certain brunette was still playing a video game. She couldn't finish the level that it took her up until morning to play.
"I get wiped out in the desert zone no matter how many times I try!" Ema said, frustrated as she rest her chin on her knees and lower the controller.
Ayame moaned as she stretch on Ema's bed. She grudgingly rose up and rubbed her eyes. Seeing Ema was still playing, she came into realization.
"Ema, don't tell me you spent the whole night playing that and didn't sleep?" Ayame glared at her little sister who nervously looked away from her.
Ayame glanced at the time and turns out school will start in 30 minutes.
"Holy... Ema, stop playing and take a bath already. School starts in 30 minutes!" Ayame rush out of Ema's room and went to her own room to take a bath. Ema's eyes widened and glance at the clock on her wall.
"Oh no, we'll be late!" Ema immediately turned off her game console and took her towel as she now rushed to take a bath.
Juli woke up from all of the chaos.
After taking a bath and changing in the bathroom, she took out her blower and began drying her hair. She had a glimpse of Natsume's business card and decided that she will message him later about the game.
Ayame who has now finished taking a bath and is now wearing her uniform, stormed in her room.
"I'll do your hair for you." Ayame began brushing Ema's hair gently, not to hurt the brunette and make sure there are no entangled strands of hair left. After that, she tied her hair into her usual hairstyle, side ponytail using her favorite hair tie. The female smiled and set down the brush.
"There. Now, let's go!" Ema took her bag and the two sisters immediately went to the dining room taking some breakfast with them startling Ukyo, as they eat on their way.
"Ah! Iori-kun." The said male turned to her smile.
"Ayame, what are you doing here?" He asked the indigo haired female. It was already dismissal and Ayame decided to drop by her favorite bookstore that stocks her beloved BL mangas.
"Just buying some books." She said as she took the book from the bookshelf. She made sure the male would not see the BL manga she had in her arms. Unfortunately for her, he caught a glimpse of it.
Iori chuckled at her antics. "That is so...you." Her cheeks turned pink and she half-glared at him.
"Shut up..." She mumbled as they now walk to the counter and pay their things.
"It has been months since you guys came to us. We also haven't walked home together for awhile." Iori said as he stare at the ground as if it was interesting. It has been months since she and Ema arrived in the Sunrise Residence and gained 13 brothers on the same day. She can't believe it has been long since they moved there. Knowing how hard and busy school life can be
"Now that you mention it. I always ask you, though you say you are always busy..." She gave the male a don't-deny-it look that made him sweatdropped.
"Well, I guess I can understand that you're busy or you found me annoying." She said as stare at the sky and Iori suddenly stopped walking.
Ayame stopped and took a glimpse of him. "Iori?"
"There is no way I will find you annoying..." He mumbled, his fringe covering his eyes. Ayame felt uneasy at the sudden aura he is emitting but nonetheless she didn't mind it and smacked his back.
"I'm just joking, you dork!" Iori stumbled but managed to balance himself.
"That hurt, Ayame..." The male gave her a wry smile as he rub his poor back.
Both of them walked home laughing and argue from time to time as they talk about how their day went.
After a few days
"Where are you going, Ema?" The brunette turned to her. "I'm going to meet up with Natsume-san about the game!" She said as she kissed Ayame on the cheek.
"Aya-nee, you can go home first!" Ema shouted at her as she ran to the destination they will meet up.
Ayame stared at the now empty space and sigh. "That girl..."
Ema just left her hanging there.
She was cut off from her thoughts as a not-so high pitch voice spoke behind her.
"What a coincidence to see you here, imouto-san!" She turned to see a familiar long wavy orange hair. She (he) wore a fuschia trench coat and black high heels. She stare at him with a nonchalant face as he continue to smile at her.
"Hikaru-nii...?" She tilted her head
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be at home by now?" He asked as he stare at her with narrowed eyes. "If Ukyo find out you are just hanging around here, he'll explode!"
"W-well... I..." She stammered as she glance at the direction Ema went, then back to him. Hikaru inwardly smirked at her flustered state.
"Since you are here, how about let's have a sibling time!" He cheerfully said he now drag the poor girl who was struggling in his arms.
"Let's go shopping~❤" Ayame could tell she will soon arrive in hell, early that she could expect.
"Why did you brought me here, Hikaru-nii?"
Ayame's eye twitched as she stood beside Hikaru who was looking for dresses. Whom does the dress belong to? For Hikaru himself.
The purplehead carried her brothers bag that he bought in the other stores. Beauty products, books and new clothes. She swore her older brother is more feminine than her. She thought with slight envy.
After Hikaru's shopping spree, the two of them now are walking as the male decided to accompany her home which the purplehead.
"Hikaru-nii, thank you by the way for buying a Yaoi manga for me." Ayame thank him as she look away, her cheeks flush pink flustered.
The male merely grin and patted her head. "No problem. My cute little sister asked me a favor so I can't just slip it aside." Ayame swat his hand, annoyed. She doesn't like it when he pat her head. As they walked passed the park, Hikaru suddenly stopped. Ayame became confused at his sudden stop.
"Oh my, such naughty kids... And you're siblings. Such naughty children." Hikaru said out of nowhere as he stare at something or rather someone.
"What do you... mean?" Ayame stared at the direction he was staring at. The scene beholding in front of them, made the purplehead's eyes widened in disbelief. Tsubaki kissing Ema. She almost dropped what she was carrying in shock.
"It seems like the game has already begun." Hikaru said as he smirked. Ayame glared at him.
"What do you mean by that, Hikaru?" She spat not calling him nii and the male just brushed it off.
"Didn't you noticed imouto-chan? How our brothers look at your sister." The girl thought for a moment before her eyes slowly widened.
She was so foolish. She didn't pay close attention to what the brothers do around her little sister.
Because you keep on spreading your hormones around the eldest four... Her inner conscious said.
"I bet Masaomi, Ukyo and Kaname are not interested in her, despite his womanizing antics. As for me, someone already caught my eyes." He glanced at her for a second, before his gaze landed back to the two who were still holding each other.
"I knew Yusuke has a crush on her and that is even before all of us became siblings." She trailed off as she massage her temples. They didn't noticed the two already left as Ayame was still in a deep thought.
All of a sudden, Hikaru wrapped his arm around her waist and pull her close to him. He grabbed her chin and lifted it. Ayame was taken aback by the action as she is now looking at his eyes. Despite him in his crossdressing mode, he still looked handsome despite the makeup (at least for her). He soon smirked at Ayame's red face.
"Interesting..." His deep voice mumbled. Ayame half-glared at him and jerked back. She can feel her heartbeat pounding in her chest.
He leaned down and kissed her. She stood motionless as she stare wide eyes at Hikaru who leaned away, smirking at her redness. He then walked away only to stop and call her.
"Let's go imouto-san~ It would seen Tsubaki already accompanied her home." Hikaru said in his woman voice.
But I wonder who'll be the one to get the last laugh. The male thought with a smirk.
She no longer was an observer or watcher in the game...
Yet, she unknowingly started a new one where she will definitely have a hard time finishing...
