Hey-o!
First order of business, a whole lot of comments about the boys POV's and Ema's friends talking to the brothers about her. And I always like to add commenter idea's into the story. So yeah. Sorry for the bad-idk- writing flaws and stuff if any, I wasn't really the best for these. Not my best but if you think it could really be edited, then tell me and I will.
Second, a commenter mentioned the Vampire Diaries and Vampire Knights. Now bringing this up, if anyone has something they would like me to watch because they think something in it could be beneficial to the story, by all means. Oh and I watched Vampire Knights to like, season 2 episode 2 or so probably and then I take a break, go back to Youtube just to find out YouTube took down the videos and the tuber that put them up. I always hate when they do that because I never finish watching before they do it and I am left with a cliffhanger! Ugh! So thank you, I am now addicted and have had that taken away. Lol.
And yes, Karl-Heinz is technically their dad, but he only actually contributed into only a third of the thirteen brothers making. So for some, he is a step-father of sorts.
Azusa~
"Masaomi." The head of the house looked up from his paperwork.
"Yes Yusuke?" He asked.
Yusuke sighed. "Some classmates of Ema and I have been wondering what happened to her. I didn't know what to tell them so they were wondering if they could come by tomorrow to see her, even if she is unconscious."
He seemed to think about it for a moment. "I guess so. She's done going through any difficulties so...I guess it's all right. It would be nice."
"Really?" He questioned. I was honestly surprised he acceded.
"It will stop others from getting suspicious at least." I mentioned. He turned to see me folding up my script further down the table. It might be good for her to hear some friends. From what I saw at the event, she was really looked up to by her companions. It was actually a reality shock for me at least. Ema was always such a strong willed girl. Meek perhaps, but still worked to make things better for herself or others. She seemed truly looked up to. I had to admire that.
I dismissed myself made my way to upstairs to grab the rest of my things and a coat to go to work and made ways with Tsubaki. He smiled at me, and I noticed he had my coat in his hand. "Come on. Time to get going."
"Thanks." I told my twin. "But did you get-" He passed me a water bottle and some scripts. I shook my head. "You know me so well."
"Naturally." He wrapped an arm around my shoulder as we boarded the elevator. He shifted. "Something wrong?" I asked. He seemed more stressed than usual. It was so unlike him.
He stared at todays auditions. "I'm fine. Just a bit worried." He admitted.
"Worried?" I tapped his shoulder. "You've practiced day and night for this part. There's going to be no competition. De-stress a little. You've got this." I told him softly, comfortingly.
"I know but..."
"Wow confident huh? Then what is it?" I chuckled.
He smirked shrugging my hand off his shoulder. "I'm just worried is all. I want this role so much. This could be my big break."
I knew he felt. He longed for this particular role for more than ages. Tsubaki had been practicing for this for months. I in turn would be trying out for his enemy, and secondary character.
"Ema would be proud of how hard you're working." We both silenced.
"Yeah. She would." He echoed. Our elevator ride ended and we left the residence.
Hikaru~
I smirked pleasantly looking over my computer screen. It was a work of art, to me at least. Ever since that girl, Ema came to stay at the residence, I've become twice as busy. Writing my current book, gathering material for it, and preparing this game for Ema and the brothers.
It was plain to tell that she was something special. Something beautiful. Beautifully delicious. It didn't take long honestly for the rest of the brothers to fall for her. Or at least take an interest. I gazed at my chart longingly.
On it stated 1 catch, 12 players, 1 watcher. going down the list, every number had a 0 next to it. Other than the usual, none of the brothers have exactly made a move. Very few had yet to realize their attraction until the new incident. Fuuto took too much blood from her almost killing her. Even I had to admit I wanted to shout at him for that. But nevertheless it wouldn't fix the current matter.
In recent news however, Yusuke arranged for some of her friends to come visit her in her catatonic state. It would provide interesting gossip about our little Ema.
I didn't quite love her. No, I didn't like her like some of the other brothers did. Neither did Kaname, unlike how he carries himself around her. He was just a sadist, somewhat like me I guess. I still had lingering love from past experiences I refused to let go of.
Shutting my computer, I stuck it into the desk drawer. I was in my old room, which hadn't been used yet, unlike Natsume's. Besides, it had a good view if I did say so for myself. I sat on my sill for a good amount of time before my thoughts were shattered by the door bell. I could have sworn every being in the house froze.
Ema's friends were here.
Natsume~
Ema's friends were here. And a good thing for that I suppose. I strained to hear which way Yusuke was taking them up. The left staircase, so I don't think I could just manage to run into them and find an excuse to come with them to her room.
I sighed leaning back onto the couch. Azusa and Tsubaki left out earlier but promised they would be back later. I honestly didn't want to stay here and wait for them to return but I really didn't have a choice. I opened my eyes when small hands smacked onto my legs.
Wataru stared up at me pensively. "What's wrong Natsu? It was your birthday yesterday, shouldn't you be happy?"
I patted his head. Tsubaki and Azusa's birthday was the 31st of December and mine was the first of January. Wataru's was the third. "Shouldn't you be excited about yours tomorrow?"
He shook his head. "Mmm-mm. All I want for my birthday is for Ema to get better. Usa-tan misses her too..."
Subaru, Iori, Ukyo, Kaname, and Masaomi were also in the room with us in the smaller living on the second floor. And all of them became somber at that. I ignored Subaru's look and continued softly. "Me too little buddy. Me too."
He shook his head more rapidly this time. "No. I don't get it. I like her. She's nice. She takes time to play and to get me. But aren't I supposed to not like her because she's our drink storage?" He asked with honest confusion.
Masaomi kneeled next to him hurriedly. "It's okay to like her since she is here to stay for a good while. Do you think you're supposed to hate her? What gave you that idea?"
"I don't know. Everyone else just seems to not like her for reasons. And all the other ones end up creating such a fuss and leaving dramatically. I never like them. So I want Ema gone! But I don't..." The small salmon colored haired boy looked to the ground squeezing his bunny rabbit plush. I felt bad for my little brother, that was getting his head filled with conflicting thoughts.
Ukyo left the room. Kaname and Iori quietly went back to their discussion. Subaru excused himself to go practice his shots. Masaomi comforted our youngest with suckers and pats on the head. I closed my eyes, and what would probably be the 3rd and 4th brothers dismay, silently prayed the girl upstairs would make it out alright.
Tsubaki~
I leaned my head on the back of the chair and let out a huge sigh. The whole situation was getting to me was all. She would be okay. I would get the part. We would all live happily ever after.
I jerked up in my chair at that last thought. What was that about?
"You okay? I told you to de-stress." I glanced at the door where Azusa had just come in.
"Hey. Yeah thanks. I'm fine."
He walked around my chair to his placing his hand on my shoulder as he went. "You aren't going to do your best if you're like this. Want an iced tea while you wait?"
He was already walking over to the cooler before I could respond yes. I watched him from the wall mirror. "Did you already finish your auditions? How did it go? Did they say anything? How about-"
He held out his hand to silence me and gave me the drink. "I wont know anything yet. I know this is important for you. You'll do fine."
"Yeah." I muttered. Important. This was more than important. I've wanted this role for so long. But I knew I didn't have anything to worry about. After all I had Ema's good luck and that was all I needed at the moment.
I still remember not long ago I had run into on the stairwell. I was rehearsing my lines so I stopped and asked her how believable I sounded. She clapped her hands together in awestruck. I had learned from Natsume her love of games so I was really happy she liked it. I admitted to her what the role was to me after she noticed something.
"You're taking this awfully serious this time." She had said.
"What do you mean? I always take my job seriously."
She nodded linking her fingers together. "I know but the way Tsubaki, you just said it, it had a bit more emotion and devotion that you usually practice with."
I watched as she shyly explained this and couldn't help but tell her the reason for this.
"So I just really hope I get it right." I finished admitting.
I jumped back as her arms wrapped around me willingly for probably the first time ever. She squeezed me with her weak frail grip and pulled away. My eyes probably looked like saucers.
She stepped to the other side of the stairwell and put her hands behind her back. "For good luck, you know? A good luck hug so you know, you might feel better about it. I really hope you get it." She ended kindly. How was it possible for her to be so dang sweet after everything so far?
I was pulled out of my reverie when one of the workers entered the room telling me I was next. I tossed a look to Azusa as I got up. We exchanged smiles as we always do. I had Ema and Azusa's good hopes for me.
I thought about the sleeping girl back at home. When I was done and she was awake, I would play some video games with her.
