Chapter 1

"Look at that temple, Mom! It's so big!", shouted a young blackhaired boy with a red hoodie, blue trousers and black sneakers to a woman with blue eyes and short black hair, while looking outside of a window of the train.

"Hehe, you seem excited to visit Kyoto, Fuutarou.", she said to her son.

"He should be, Shizuku. A family trip to Kyoto would excite every kid!", said instead a middle aged blond man with a black jacket, grey trousers and a pair of sunglasses on his head.

"You're totally right, Isanari.", she replied to her husband while giving him a peck on the cheek and patting the head of a little blackhaired girl that was sleeping on her lap.

The Uesugi family composed of Isanari, Shizuku and their children Fuutarou and Raiha was currently inside a train directed towards Kyoto for a family trip that Isanari and his wife thought that it would be a funny experience for their children, especially for their son Fuutarou.

It was a sunny Saturday of March, so the weather was perfect to go to visit the temples and various attractions of a city like Kyoto. The twelve years old boy known as Fuutarou was the one that looked forward the most to this trip, because since he couldn't train for swimming, his favorite sport, he was quite bored. His little sister Raiha was less excited of him instead, as she was sleeping on their mother's lap, but once she woke up she would try like him to enjoy all the attractions of Kyoto.

The trip was also a prize for Fuutarou for being able once again to ace in his tests at school; the young boy, in fact, was not just very good at sports, but also in academics. That didn't mean obviously that he preferred to pass his time alone; Fuutarou was pretty popular at school in fact.

'I have to take a lot of photos to show them to Sanada, Takebayashi and other people. I'm sure they will like them haha.', he thought, grinning satisfied with his idea.

An idea that he could realize thanks to his father that let him borrow his professional camera, saying that his kid was more than welcomed to use it and giving him a high five, which made Shizuku giggle. She liked how the two Uesugi males got along so well after all.


Thirty minutes later the train had finally reached the station, and the Uesugi family got out of it. Once out, Fuutarou looked around, and his gaze focused on the temples that he could see in the distance, which made him grin.

Isanari, noticing his grin, smiled as well, "Heh, you're really eager to take some photos, eh Fuutarou?"

"Of course I am! Takebayashi and Sanada haven't visited Kyoto yet, so I will show them all the best things that they can see once they visit it too!"

"Just don't wander off on your own, Fuutarou. It could be dangerous walking alone in Kyoto.", told him his mother to warn him.

"I know Mom, you don't need to tell me that everytime.", he replied a little annoyed, making her giggle.

"Well, let's go then everyone. Kyoto awaits us!", said Isanari, which made the other family members shout a "Yes!" as reply.

So the Uesugi family left the train station and proceeded to enter in Kyoto; Fuutarou and Raiha were amazed by the various buildings and especially by some stands where they could play some games to win a prize. The young boy grinned and asked his parents if he could play at a shooting game, gaining a nod in agreement. He then went to the stand and paid for 3 shots.

Needless to say, he managed to win a prize with each shot, surprising the seller that gave him 3 stuffed animals. Fuutarou gave one to Raiha, that hugged him to thank him, while the other 2 were for Takebayashi and another young girl of his class.

"So you will give those 2 stuffed animals to Take-chan and another girl? You're very popular with girls, eh Fuutarou?", told him Isanari with a cheeky grin.

Fuutarou blushed a little and scoffed, "I-I just thought that Takebayashi and Haruka w-would like them. That's all."

Isanari and Shizuku chuckled at Fuutarou's embarrassment, making the young boy sigh annoyed while Raiha didn't understand what they were talking about. After teasing Fuutarou a little, they went to visit some nearby temples with Fuutarou taking various photos of them. Isanari had told him that he would help him to print them at home later, so Fuutarou decided to snap a lot of photos.

Shizuku was very happy to see her son smile and have fun; she didn't like seeing him bored at home, and since he always did his best in studying he deserved a nice trip as reward. Her husband thought the same, even if he was more happy that his son had a lot of friends at school; Isanari didn't care so much about studying when he was younger after all.

After several minutes of good walking and visiting various attractions, the Uesugi family decided to rest a little on a bench and to have some bread and snacks baked by Shizuku to eat. She and Isanari owned in fact a bakery in Tokai that sold very well and had a good amount of customers, which allowed the family to live in a nice house with various rooms and the bakery at the ground floor. In a few words, they were financially good.

"Man, your bread is always the best, Mom!", happily said Fuutarou while eating Shizuku' bread.

"Oi Fuutarou, remember that I helped your mother too.", said Isanari, sounding offended.

"You make the deliveries, Dad. It's Mom who really bakes haha.", replied Fuutarou with a mocking tone, making his father frown and Shizuku giggle.

"Oh come on Shizuku, don't laugh you too!"

"Hehe, but he's right, dear. You deliver the bread but not bake it."

"Dad's face is red hehe!", said Raiha, giggling at Isanari's expression.

"Well, I'm going to take a Pepsi can from a vending machine now.", suddenly said Fuutarou.

"Come back quickly, Fuutarou."

"Yes yes.", he said nonchalantly.


After that, the blackhaired boy went to search for a vending machine, finding one near a little park not so far away from his position. He then went to take his Pepsi can, but before he put the coin in the machine he heard some screams; screams that demanded help.

'What are those screams? They look like girls' screams on top of that! It's better that I check out where they come from.', he thought, ignoring the vending machine and entering in the park.

He scanned around the trees and everything to find the source of those screams, and when he heard them more distinctly from a certain direction, he went for that. After some steps, he finally found the source of such sound: near some trees there were three boys that were tormenting five girls with red hair and white dresses, insulting them and trying to pull their hair.

Such sight enraged Fuutarou, so he sprinted towards them and punched one of the boys in the face, making him fall on the ground and surprising the other 2 and the girls.

"Ow! What the heck do you want?!", shouted the punched boy, nursing his face.

Fuutarou glared menacingly at him with his golden eyes, making him tremble in fear. "I saw you 3 idiots harassing these girls. What's your problem with them?", he said, turning around to glare at the other 2 boys, who were scared of him.

"They have that reddish-pink hair! It's ugly!", said one of them loudly, getting punched in the gut by Fuutarou in return, which shocked the one on the ground, the other one and the girls that were looking at what seemed to be their savior in awe.

"So you think that you can bully other people because you don't like their hair? You're really stupid."

"Mind your business!", shouted the third boy while launching a fist towards Fuutarou. The 5 girls tried to warn him, but Fuutarou didn't need that as he simply grabbed the attack with his left hand and used the right one to punch his opponent in the face, who was knocked out. Once again the girls remained amazed by him.

"If there's something that I really despise are bullies. You 3 better get lost before I beat you up for good!", he shouted to the other 2 boys, who got scared immediately and left while bringing the knocked out one with them.

Fuutarou sighed in relief and turned his gaze to the girls. "Are you-" He didn't manage to ask his question that he got hugged by all of them, which surprised him.

"Thank you for saving us! You're our hero!", they said in unison, hugging him tighter.

"Y-you're welcome, girls.", he said, blushing. He was embarrassed to be suddenly hugged by 5 girls at the same time, but he didn't mind. Still, he noticed something about them that made him curious.

"Wait a second, why are your faces and hair identical?", he asked them.

The 5 girls stopped hugging him and looked at each other, exchanging some smiles. Then, one of them said cheerfully, "Because we're quintuplets! All of us were born on the same day!"

"Wow, that's incredible! You 5 are all beautiful in the same way!", he said, making them blush because he called them beautiful.

"Hehe, thank you so much! What is your name by the way?", asked another one, who was smiling and still blushing.

"The name's Uesugi Fuutarou. Nice to meet you umm…"

"My name is Nino!", she replied, winking at him.

"Mine is Ichika hehe.", said the first that talked, giggling.

"I-I'm M-Miku.", said another one shyly.

"Yotsuba!", said one more cheerful.

"I-I'm Itsuki.", said the last one, blushing.

"We're glad to meet you, Fuutarou-kun!", they said in unison.

'Wow, they're all identical with a difference in their personalities. Somehow I can distinguish them by their voices too.', he thought, still amazed by their appearance.

Then one of them grabbed his hand with her hands and looked at him with a bright smile. "Nee, can you help us to find Mama, Fuu-kun? We got separated by her because of those bullies and we're scared to walk alone. Could you help us?", she asked him, blushing a little.

Fuutarou blushed as well. "O-oh, sure. My family is waiting at a bench out of this park, so they can help too. But wait, Fuu-kun?"

"It's a nickname for you. I think it's cute. Do you like it?"

He smiled, "Yeah, I like it, Nino."

The fact that he could tell who she was surprised her and her sisters. "Wait, how can you tell that she is Nino, Fuutarou-kun?", asked another quint.

"Her voice and her personality helped me to recognize her. In fact, I can tell that you're Ichika.", he replied confidently, amazing the 5 sisters once again.

'No way…Grandpa and Mama always said that only people with "love" could tell us apart. And Fuutarou is able to recognize us by our personalities and voices. That's incredible.', they all thought, blushing at the idea that the boy that saved them could like them.

"Well, what are we waiting for, girls? Let's go to find your mom!", he then said, offering his hands to accompany them. They all smiled and Nino and Ichika took his right hand and left hand while the other 3 grabbed on his red hoodie.


So they got out of the park and walked to find Fuutarou's family while he and the quints chatted together about him. Nino wrapped her arms around his right arm during all this with a nice smile on her face, which made Fuutarou blush. She told him how cool and strong he was for saving them earlier, and he replied that he was used to protecting other people from bullies at school. The other quints complimented him too and seemed to refuse to stop clinging on him.

From his part, the young boy was slightly embarrassed to have 5 cute girls clinging on him, which made some old women giggle whenever they saw them. They found them cute and Fuutarou could swear to have heard something like "He has 5 girls that like him very much hehe.", which made him more embarrassed.

'It's not like when Haruka shyly hugs me at school; these girls are basically clinging on me. It embarrasses me but that doesn't mean that it bothers me', he thought, smiling at the idea of comparing his classmate's hug to the quints' affection.

At a certain point, Fuutarou finally noticed his parents and Raiha at the bench where they sat before, seeing also a beautiful woman with dark red hair and blue eyes taking with them and giggling.

Isanari was the first to notice his son, "Oh, Fuutarou! Where have you-"

He stopped his sentence when he saw his son with 5 identical girls clinging on him, 2 of them hugging his arms.

"Hahahaha, I can't believe it! You wander on your own and find the daughters of Rena-sensei! Good job son!", laughed Isanari, clapping his hands to applaud Fuutarou.

"Mama!", said the quints, detaching from Fuutarou to hug the redhaired woman that returned their hugs.

"Where were you, girls? I was worried."

"We're sorry, Mama. We got distracted by a stand that made us curious to then be bullied from 3 boys. But Fuutarou-kun intervened and saved us by punching them and helped us to find you!", replied a cheerful quint.

The woman known as Rena looked then at the wild blackhaired boy, and after stopping to hug her daughters she went to him to pat his head. "So you saved and helped my daughters? Thanks a lot, Fuutarou-kun. You're just like your father when he was younger hehe.", she said.

"Y-you're welcome, Rena-San. But why did Dad call you Rena-sensei?"

It was Shizuku to reply, "Rena-sensei was my and Isanari's homeroom teacher during highschool. She's a wonderful teacher, and I'm surprised to see you with 5 daughters, Rena-sensei. And they're quintuplets too."

"Hehe, a lot of happened after you 2 graduated, but I see that you too have 2 cute children. And thank you again, Fuutarou-kun. You're really kind.", said Rena, patting Fuutarou's head.

"F-Fuutarou, c-could w-we play t-together?", suddenly asked one of the quints carrying a ball, blushing profusely.

"Sure, Miku! Raiha, come to play with us too!", he said, grabbing Raiha's hand and following Miku to play all together.

Rena was stunned; the young boy managed to recognize one of her daughters without mistaking her for another sister? Only she and her father Ryuuji could do something like that, and yet there was someone like Fuutarou that could do the same.

'Fuutarou-kun…It seems that you got affectionate to my daughters pretty quickly and they feel the same about you. That means that I can put my trust in you for the future.', she thought, taking a decision about something of important and going to talk about it with Isanari and Shizuku.

Meanwhile, Fuutarou was having fun with the quints and his sister by playing with a ball and fetch, which gave everytime the occasion for one of the quints to hug him tightly whenever he let himself be taken. Raiha too was enjoying playing with her brother's new friends, and even if he was very young she could see how affectionate they were with her brother. It looked like they liked him a lot.

At a certain point, one of the quints asked him, "F-Fuutarou, will we be able to meet again in the future?"

The young boy looked at her for a few seconds to then pat her head, making her blush. "Of course that we can meet again in the future, Itsuki! I promise you and your sisters!", he said, grinning.

Itsuki got very happy thanks to his words, so he hugged him tightly, followed by her sisters that did the same, since that they heard what he had said. Even Raiha joined the hug. Fuutarou gladly returned their group hug.

Such sight was beautiful to the eyes of Isanari, Shizuku and Rena, and it was enough to make the first 2 forget for a moment what made them frown after Rena talked with them.

"We need something to celebrate our promise. Wait here, girls.", said Fuutarou, breaking off the hug to run towards a nearby stand and making the quints curious.

He quickly came back with 6 small good luck charms, offering one to every quint and keeping one for himself. "We'll use these good luck charms to make sure that our promise comes true! Alright girls?", he said, grinning.

The quints smiled brightly and happily nodded in agreement, hugging him once again. Some of them were more daring to even kiss him on the cheek, making him blush and Isanari chuckle.

'Hahaha, he really inherited my success with women. That kid will turn into a great man in the future haha.', he thought, feeling proud of his son.

Shizuku and Rena giggled instead, especially the first because she thought her son's flustered expression was very cute. It seems that this Kyoto trip will be something to remember for both families.


Some months later, inside the little apartment where they lived with their mother, the quints were crying and comforting each other: they had just come to know about Rena's death because of a mysterious sickness.

"W-w-why? M-m-mama was fine some days ago, so-so why?", mumbled Itsuki, sobbing continously.

"I-It's n-not fair; M-Mama d-didn't a-anything of bad.", said instead Yotsuba, unable to stop her tears.

All of them continued to cry a lot for other minutes, until they heard someone knocking on their apartment's main door. They went together to open it, and when did they were met by two familiar people that looked sad just like them.

"F-f-fuu-kun's Papa and Mama?", asked Nino, recognizing the two adults.

"Hello, girls. Isanari and I have come to know what happened to Rena-sensei. We're deeply sorry.", said Shizuku, hugging the 5 girls in front of her, who cried again and returned the hug.

Isanari then cleared his throat and said, "Unfortunately, Rena-sensei knew that something like this was gonna happen sooner or later. So at that time in Kyoto my wife and I promised something to her."

"A-a p-promise?", asked the quints in unison.

"Yes, we promised her that if something happened to her, we would then welcome you in our family, because she was sure that we would be able to take care of all of you."

"W-w-what? So-so y-you're gonna be our family?", asked one quint.

"Not only the two of them, Miku.", said a sudden voice that every sister recognized.

Right from behind Isanari and Shizuku appeared their son Fuutarou with a serious expression to hide the signs of tears on his face.

"It won't be just Mom and Dad to become your family; Raiha and I too are glad to have you in our family. I know that everything's so sudden, but Rena-San told my parents that she could see someone able to take care of you in me too and not just in my parents. So Ichika, Nino, Miku, Yotsuba and Itsuki, I will be more than glad to have you in my family. I promise that I will do my best to be always there for you.", he said, opening his arms.

The 5 sisters' tears resurfaced and they ran towards him to hug him, crying and sobbing while he comforted them. Despite the sad situation, they were happy to meet again the young boy, and hearing from him that he would be their family just like his parents and his little sister was enough to move them.

"P-please, t-take c-care o-of us, Fuutarou-kun/Fuu-kun/Fuutarou!", they cried in unison.

"I will, girls. Trust me.", he replied with a sad smile while still hugging them.

His parents smiled to see their son comfort the girls that he befriended in Kyoto, and they were proud of how solemn he was while promising them to be always there for them.

After that and Rena's funeral, to which even a classmate of Isanari and Shizuku, Maruo Nakano, took part to meet his school crush daughters and the oldest child of his classmates, the Uesugi family proceeded to fill in the adoption forms for every quint. This happened with also the consent of Rena's father, Ryuuji, who knew about the Uesugi family and could see especially in Fuutarou a strong boy that was able to protect his granddaughters after meeting him at the hot springs that the old man owned.

Following these events, every quint was basically became a Uesugi, moving in the same house of their new parents, stepbrother and stepsister. Fortunately there was a room for every quint to use, since Raiha slept always in their parents' room as she was still very little.

For what concerned their school, the quints continued to attend the same middle school from before, but they had told to Isanari and Shizuku that they wanted to attend the same highschool of Fuutarou in the future. Isanari nodded in agreement just like Fuutarou, making the quints smile happily.


One night, Fuutarou was sleeping peacefully in his room, until he heard some knocks on the door that woke him up. He got up and went to open it, meeting a young girl with long red hair, blue eyes and a cushion in her hands.

As soon as he saw her, the blackhaired boy looked closely at her to recognize her and asked, "Miku? What's wrong?"

She blushed, "I-I'm sorry t-to d-disturb you, Fuutarou. I-I c-can't sleep b-because o-of some n-nightmares. C-c-can I s-sleep in your room?"

Fuutarou got worried because of what she told him, so he smiled and said, "Yeah, you can sleep here if you want , Miku."

He offered his hand to her to come inside, which she gladly took. He guided her to his bed and they laid down together, with her clinging on him and him patting her head.

"Can you sleep better like this, Miku?"

"Y-Yes, I-I feel safe l-like this. T-thank you, Fuutarou-nii. Good night ", she said, falling asleep with a happy smile.

"Good night you too, Miku.", he said, caressing her head.

But then, other knocks were heard on his door, and after saying a low "Come in.", other 4 identical girls entered in his room, each one with a cushion. Understanding the reason why they were there, he smiled and nodded to them, so they got on his bed and hugged him.

"Good night Fuu-nii/Fuu-niichan/Fuutarou-niisama/Fuu-niisan.", they said in unison, falling asleep just like their sister.

Fuutarou said goodnight to them too, and closed his eyes to sleep with the quints clinging on him.

He wasn't bothered at all by the fact that they wanted to sleep in the same bed as him, because he knew that they could have nightmares sometimes; they had lost their mother not so long ago after all, so it was his duty as their new brother to comfort them and make sure that they could sleep peacefully.

Not even the new way each one of them called him annoyed him, but maybe the fact that they seemed jealous when he talked about his friends Takebayashi and Haruka yes. Whenever he mentioned them, he could see one quint pout in jealousy and be clinger than usual.

The young boy considered this as the will of the quints to have him focus his attention on them, but maybe it was something more by judging the little kisses that they gave him on the cheeks, which made him blush often. Perhaps he was more than a brother for them.

A/N

Oho? It's this the beginning of a 4th story of mine? It sure is my friends! From the summary that you will see, in this story Fuutarou met all the quints during a Kyoto trip with his family, and not with his class. After saving them from some bullies, the young boy made them already quite fond of him, showing also a great ability in recognizing them (first by their personalities and then by "love" fufu.)

Both Fuutarou's parents are alive here and their bakery sells pretty well, allowing them to live in a nice house that is big enough for the 5 sisters to live in after Isanari and Shizuku adopted them following the promise made to Rena. Fuutarou will be good both at studying and at sports from a young age, especially at a particular sport that maybe you noticed haha.

This story will be rated M because there will be more ecchi scenes compared to my other stories, but I hope you don't mind haha.

Well, let a review to tell me what do you think of this starting chapter. Stay tuned for more.

See ya! (I changed my name because I felt like that, if someone wants to ask:)
