Dearest
I looked out the window and watched as the dark violet-sapphire blanket faded
away while the gentle, glowing sun awakened from its peaceful slumber. Next to me, my
youngest sibling, Tomoyo also awoke from her seamlessly endless dreams as well. As she
turned to me and smiled, I saw the light get caught in her deep, clear eyes. Eyes that held
the colors of night within them: the deepest shade of lavender infused with the lightest tint
of sapphire-blue.
"Yuki-kun, did you have a pleasant rest?" Her sweet voice asked me.
"Absolutely."
"I have no idea how any of you can get comfortable sleeping in a car! Whose great idea
was it to drive half a day instead of fly there again?!" Raged my brother Kero.
"It was your idea Kero-chan, you said that it would be a wonderful experience since all of
us are so used to riding in limos and flying on planes everywhere." Replied my other
brother Yue.
"Shut Up." Kero murmured.
Tomoyo and I couldn't help but laughed. The four of us are the children of
Daidouji Sonomi, the CEO of Daidouji Toys. Because of that, all of us are used to big
houses, rich foods, and luxurious livings.
I, Daidouji Yuki, at 22, am the third brother and second youngest child. My older twin
brothers, Yue and Kero are 23. Yue beat Kero by five minutes time. And then there is
our one and only sister, Tomoyo, who is 16. Each of us differs in looks and personality so
much, you would never think we were related, much less siblings.
Kero is the tough guy. He acts like he knows everything and the best at
everything. With his golden looks and flirtatious ways, he is mostly known as a playboy.
(Kero is the golden version of Yue in the series. Golden hair, golden eyes, etc. Only not
lean, more muscular. ) There are only two women that can control him: Mother, and
Tomoyo. According to Tomoyo, Kero is nothing but a big softy that acts tough. She has
him tied around her little finger; she can get him to do just about anything and shut his big
mouth too.
Yue is the big brother. He takes care of most things and watches after all of us, or
mostly Kero, who is the most reckless person out of anyone we know. He is quiet and
most of the time emotionless. Or so you think, the only people who can really read him
are Kero, Tomoyo, and myself. Though he might seem cold and heartless at times, he
actually is very caring and kind.
Tomoyo … what can I say about our dear girl? He's the sweetest, politest,
kindest, most even-tempered person you'll ever meet. If you didn't know her too well,
you would think she's perfect. If you did, you would know else wise. Although Tomoyo
is skilled at everything she does, has the biggest heart in the world, and has a strong head
on her shoulders, she is what you call "weird" at times. Tomoyo is obsessed with her
video camera and making costumes for people. She can be sneaky, wicked and deceiving.
Just because she looks harmless doesn't mean she is.
We're been driving all night, switching turns to get to our new house in Tomeada.
We're moving because our Mother grew up there and wants all of us to be closer to our
grandparents. It takes half a day's drive from where we used to live. Yue, Kero, and
myself will be starting school at Tokyo University. Which is not that far away from home.
Accounting to mother, "it's a sweet little town that you'll adore!" My mother is rather
young to be a mother of 23 year-olds. She's only 39, meaning she had us kids starting at
16. My grandparents wee furious, but they survived. And my great-grandfather simply
adores Tomoyo to death. She's his "sweet fairy princess." I think partly the reason is
because she looks a lot like my mother's cousin and his granddaughter, Nadeshiko. I've
seen pictures and their nearly identical. Only, a courting to our mother, Tomoyo is not as
dense and is not as clumsy. Nadeshiko died almost twenty years ago already, but I know
it still hurts mother and great-grandfather. I hear they don't really get along with her
husband though. I do wonder what awakes us at Tomeada…
