DISCLAIMER : I DO NOT OWN BROTHERS CONFLICT IN ANYWAY SHAPE OR FORM

"Kimi, are you okay?" her friend Mura asked during lunch that day.

"Yeah, my brothers came back, so I'm happy," said Kimi.

"But my mommy told me someone was going to take you away from your home yesterday," said another friend, Ohan.

Kimi looked up straight at her. "Someone tried to yesterday, but my brothers made her go away until my older brothers came home. They say they'll talk to the person and convince her to let me stay with them, " she said.

"But that one boy, Aiji's mommy said you were in danger being with your brothers," said Jaja.

"No I'm not!" Kimi shouted banging her first on the table. It made her friends jump a little and even caught the attention of a few other students sitting nearby.

"But didn't one of them hit you?" Ohan asked.

"It was an accident! He didn't mean it. Brothers and sisters sometimes hit each other. They even let me hit them to make up for it," Kimi said.

"I sometimes hit my brother when he deserves it," another friend Harumi. She looked up towards the ceiling and smirked at the idea.

"Well I'm glad you didn't get taken away Kimi. I'd miss you, we all would," said Mura. The other four friends nodded.

"Are they still going to try and take you away Kimi?" Jaja asked.

"It sounded like the scary lady that tried yesterday may try again, but I think my brothers are going to keep her from doing it. Miss Hogo and Ms. Tannin are supposed to come inspect the house today," said Kimi.

"Do you think they'll try to take you away?" Mura asked.

"I hope they don't," said Kimi. She looked over at her teacher who was talking to another teacher. She happened to glance over to Kimi who gave Kimi a gentle smile. "I'm not as scared of her as I am of that other lady."


For the rest of the day, Kimi did her best to just go along with everything happening in class. When the end of the day came, she stayed in the classroom instead of hurrying out like the other children. She noticed Mura look back at her with worry before hurrying on her way.

"Kimi," Miss Hogo said walking over to her, "are you ready to go?" Kimi nodded her head timidly. "Okay, let's go find your brother and then we'll go wait for your other brother and sister." Kimi squeezed the straps of her backpack as she and Miss Hogo headed out. When they came out they both immediately saw Wataru waiting for them.

"Hello Wataru, how are you?" Miss Hogo asked.

"I'm good," said Wataru calmly smiling.

"Good, I'm going to go get my car. Can I count on you to wait here for your other siblings?" said Miss Hogo. Both little kids nodded their heads.

" Do you think that scary lady is going to come back today?" Kimi asked timidly.

"Don't worry, Masa and Kyo are home now. They'll make her go away for good," said Wataru.

Kimi nodded her head. Both stared off, looking for Yusuke and Ema to arrive. Suddenly Kimi felt something upside her head. She turned around to see Aiji behind her laughing his head off.

"I thought you would be gone, but maybe I'll have to wait until tomorrow," he taunted.

Kimi rubbed her head and looked away to try and ignore him. However she was once again hit upside the head by Aiji who laughed at his own stupidity. "When are you going to leave? Because I got to admit, it's kind of fun getting to mess with you day after day. But my mom says she's helping to put you in a better place Somewhere far away, maybe in Antarctica!" he kept taunting.

Kimi moved over to her brother and held his hand. Wataru looked surprised until he realized Aiji was still standing nearby and he squeezed her hand back. "Don't worry, Yusuek and Big sister will be here soon. So will Miss Hogo," he said.

Kimi nodded only to once again be hit upside the head by Aiji laughing.

"Stop that!" Wataru tried to order, making an effort to put himself in front of Kimi.

"I can do what I want! My daddy even said so! She's not going to be here much longer anyway!" said Aiji, "No one wants her. My daddy and mommy told me your fake mommy and daddy took you in as a stunt to make them look good!"

"No!" said Wataru.

"Yes they did, that's probably the only reason they had you too dumb boy," Aiji taunted, "To look good!"

At that Kimi came running around from behind Wataru and tackled Aiji to the ground. Aiji looked up at her in surprise that Kimi had managed to knock him over like that. She surprised him even more by punching him on the nose. It wasn't too hard but Aiji looked astonished by the action.

"You're mean, you're just so mean! I wished you'd go away and never come back!" she shouted as she hit his nose again, "You're so mean! Go away, just go away forever!"

"Okay enough of that," Yusuke suddenly said from behind as Kimi felt someone lifting her up. Kii turned her head to see her tow older siblings behind her, Yusuke looking serious while Ema looked upset. Before either could say anything, they were distracted by Aiji crying.

"I'm telling!" he threatened, "I'm telling my mommy and daddy!"

"Yeah go right ahead punk," Yusuke said. At that Aiji got up and ran away. Kimi could actually hear Yusuke start to laugh. "Bet that dumb kid didn't expect you to hit like that huh?"

"He's mean," Kimi said.

"Yeah we know," Yusuke said putting her down, "Are you okay though?"

"Yeah," said Kimi, "he's so mean."

"Yes Kimi, but you shouldn't have hit him," said Ema taking her hand.

"Nah, let's be honest, he's been asking for it for a while. Kimi deserved a chance to whop his butt for a while," said Yusuke. Just then a familiar car pulled up.

"Oh good you're here," said Miss Hogo getting out "Is everything okay? I could have sworn I just saw Aiji running off crying."

"Yeah everything's fine," Yusuke said quickly as he took Kimi's other hand and led her to the car.

"But Yusuke," Kimi whispered.

Yusuke put a finger to his lips and shook his head. "Not now," he whispered back as he helped Kimi into a the car.

"Oh good you collected the children," Ms. Tannin said coming up towards Miss Hogo's car.

"Yes, I'll see you at the house," said Miss Hoog, "Oh by the way, you didn't happen to see Aiji Ichigi around did you? I thought I saw him earlier and he looked upset."

Ms. Tannin looked towards Kimi and Yusuke with a smirk. "No I don't recall seeing that child at all recently," she said. She actually winked at the little girl before heading to her car. Kimi wasn't sure how to react to the principal's actions.


Ms. Yakki actually gulped as she looked around at the different men all looking at her. "So," she managed to squeak out, "This must all be the bulk of Kimi's older brothers I take it?"

"Yes," said Masaomi, "These are most of my brothers. Would you like to learn all their names?"

"No, that's not necessary," said Ms. Yakki, "I'll just ask if I have a question for each one individually." She gulped again.

"Well then should we get to the matter at hand? You were saying yesterday that you feel our sister Kimi shouldn't be left in our custody anymore?" Masaomi asked.

"Ah yes, that's right," said Ms. Yakki. She noticed some of the brothers' serious faces got a whole lot scarier while the ones who were smirking looked even more cocky. "I have a report of my findings so far in regards to my visit yesterday plus a report that started this whole thing. The one of Kimi being abused by her big bothers."

"May I seem them please?" Ukyo said walking up to her other side.

"Um I don't think," Ms. Yakki started to say holding her briefcase close to her.

"Ma'am please, I am a lawyer and know a thing or two about legal procedures such as this," said Ukyo outstretching his hand, "I just want to take a quick look."

"Well," Miss Yakki said as she back away slowly. She jumped a little when she felt a hand on her shoulder and turned to see Kaname standing next to her.

"You know, it might anger the gods if you don't let him take a look," he said calmly with a smirk.

"Huh?" Ms. Yakki said only to suddenly feel her briefcase be taken from her and saw Ukyo looking through it. "Hey you can't do that!"

"We do have a right to know what we're up against don't you agree?" Ukyo said as he thumbed through several different files.

"In the meantime would you like to have another look through our home?" Masaomi asked, "We made sure to work extra hard to make sure it's clean for your inspection."

"Of course that only really required washing the dishes," said Azusa.

"Come on, you should come along with us," said Tsubaki as he and Azusa both got up and started to lead the woman away towards the kitchen that now indeed looked much cleaner than before.

"I must apologize about the mess you must have seen yesterday," Azusa started to say, "You see the thing was my brother and I were supposed to do it and we got a surprise called for an audition for a new anime. We figured that wed be back in time to get it done and we certainly weren't expecting company."

"Right," said Ms. Yakki.

"What else did you look at yesterday that you need to look at again?" Azusa asked.

"Uh well um," the woman sputtered.

"What, surly you did in fact look at more of the house before you started to think that Kimi shouldn't be here right?" Tsubaki asked in an almost taunting tone.

"Uh well um," Ms. Yakki kept trying to find the right words to say.

Tsubaki smirked while Azusa looked annoyed.

"I hope that your silence isn't from you being ashamed to be put on the spot over not inspecting more of the house," he said.

"What no, I just," Ms. Yakki stared to insist.

"Ms. Yakki, may we have a word?" Ukyo said as he and Masaomi walked into the kitchen as well, followed by their other brothers. "There's something that bothers us about this reports. It says you did a thorough check of the house but from what I was told by my brothers and sisters was that you didn't expect any thing aside from the kitchen. Who's telling the truth?"

"Keep in mind my dear lady, lying is a great sin," Kaname said.

"Well the kitchen was such a mess, it felt like it was the only thing I needed to see due to how messy it was," said Ms. Yakki.

"Was there more than just dirty dishes?" Masaomi asked.

"Well," Ms. Yakki.

"We did explain to her why they weren't done," Tsubaki made sure to mention, still smirking.

"So you didn't look at the rest of the house?" Ukyo said looking over the report. "I hate to be rude but that would mean the report is false wouldn't it?"

"Well I wouldn't go that far," said Ms. Yakki.

"Also this report says we beat up our sister," Ukyo interrupted looking at another report, "I'm not sure what all you were told but only one of us hit her and it was done by accident. Did the museum staff or our sister's teacher say that we were beating her up?"

"Well to be honest," Ms. Yakki again sputtered.

"Who did you talk to about this?" Hikaru asked looking over his brother's shoulder at the report, "There's just one name. A Mrs. Ichigi? Was she present at the attack?"

"No but her husbaand was," said Ms. Yakki.

"Did you talk to him?" asked Masaomi.

"No not personally, but his wife told me everything he said," said Ms. Yakki.

"But you didn't speak to him," Masaomi pointed out.

"It almost doesn't sound like you spoke to anyone that was there in person about the incident," said Kaname. All the brothers looked very confident in themselves.

"Hey I have been a social worker for many years! I like to think I know what I'm doing!" said Ms. Yakki.

"So do we, especially in matter that concern someone making a real threat to our family," said Masaomi. All the brothers nodded in agreement. Ms. Yakki could feel her knees buckling out of fear.
