Kairi: Hello this is me Kazumi Kairi or Kairi-chan's speaking! And I'm back for more of this exciting chapter. Just a couple of weeks and it's back to school. Geez, I'm now a second year high school and I think I'll have to struggle out more of this tough life of another school year. Anyway, read it!
Type 010: HELLO BROTHERIn the room of Shibaya Apartment, Takuya has been walking across the living room over and over again. He has the same face that hasn't been removed it for about two weeks that passed.
"That kid back there… it can't be him, wasn't it?" he asked himself, "I really don't want to go back to that place again."
The young lad has been looking dead worried and scary after he had seen the mysterious kid weeks later. He's been like that yet he knew that wouldn't help it, so he decided to take a short break. The messy brunette haired lad heads out to the balcony, he just loves the morning fresh and clean air very much. It reminds him of the old memories that he knows years ago.
"I wonder how he's doing right now." He wondered.
'Ding. Dong. Ding. Dong!'
The brunette lad almost got startled as he heard a sudden doorbell was ringing. He wondered what it could it be at this hour. He directly went off to answer the door. As he answered it by opening the door, he saw no one was there. Little he didn't know that there's someone.
"Hmm… what is that all about?" Takuya wondered again.
-To Izumi
"Huuu… finally my latest creation has finally finished!" Izumi exclaimed.
Izumi was plumping herself again on her bed, she has painting oils, paintbrushes and some palette boards over the newspaper. It was really a mess but it wasn't a big mess on her room. After taking a small break she help herself up and stared at the canvas board looking too bproud at her work.
"With this project it would be a hit!" she said to herself.
"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"The loud male voice scream made Izumi to startle even for Kouji and Kouichi who also heard that scream very clearly. They went off quickly going on their way to the other side of their home. Then they noticed to each other that they're going to the same way that they were heading.
"Hiyya Izumi. You also heard the scream too?" said Kouichi.
"Yeah… you too?" answered Izumi, "I just wondered why Takuya-kun's screaming about?"
"That's why we're going to take a look." Kouji answered too serious.
The blonde haired beauty stared at the cold lad with a small sweat-drop after she hears the lad's answer. And Kouichi shared the same reaction with Izumi knowing what he had heard his twin brother's reply. They finally arrived in the apartment house where Takuya was living. Then they saw the door was left opened.
"Could that be there's a killer now?" Kouichi wondered with a little scared tone.
"gulp I hope not." Said the blonde haired beauty.
"Let's take a look and see…" Kouji demand.
Before the blonde haired girl could say another word or suggestion, the longhaired lad was already peaking on the door that was left open of the room that they saw. Kouichi and Izumi leave out no other option but to follow Kouji. They leaned forward on the door but they saw nothing.
"Okay what was that screaming all about?" said Kouichi
"I think that voice doesn't belong to him." Kouji comment, "I mean, did you noticed the difference pitch?"
"Hmm… you're right, Minamoto-kun, the voice does seem different but it came from here." Said the blonde haired girl.
"What are you guys doing?" said a small voice.
Kouji, Kouichi and Izumi gasped as they heard the small voice that was coming near them. They all turned their heads together and saw a young boy who seems to be fourteen years old. The young boy has the similar features of both eyes and hair color to Takuya except his hairs were short and a little messy. He was wearing a white pull over jacket, blue shorts and white socks.
"Wha—? IS THAT YOU TAKYA-KUN? HOW COME YOU SUDDENLY BECOME SO YOUNG?" said Izumi."Calm down, miss. I'm not this guy you're talking about." Said the kid.
"Then who are you?" she yelled.
Izumi was staring at the young kid very scary and she seems really curious on the young boy who looks like Takuya. The mysterious kid was about to answer the blonde haired beauty's question but then they suddenly heard loud footsteps that were coming from Takuya's home. Kouji and Kouichi felt a very bad tension around them then the kid suddenly becomes. They all turned their heads and they saw the real Takuya who was standing with two of his hands turned into fists and they could see the flaming fire around the lad.
"Omai wa…" said Takuya.
"This isn't good." Kouichi muttered.
"WAAA! DON'T DO IT!" the youngster screamed.
"I'M GOING TO GET YOU FOR SURE!" the brunette lad yelled.
"Izumi, Kouichi handle on that loud mouth!" Kouji instructed.
"WHAT'S HAPPENING IN HERE?" Izumi yelled.
"YOU CAN ASK THAT LATER!" said the elder twin lad.
-Minutes later
"So in other words I'm Oniisama's younger brother, Kanbara Shinya. I'm fourteen years old." Explained the young boy called Shinya. "And you are?"
"I'm Orimoto Izumi." Said Izumi.
Shinya, Takuya's younger brother explained to the confused blonde haired beauty about himself, his known of Kouji and Kouichi and also watching of their play from the previous weeks of their School Cultural Festival. Izumi was really surprise as she discovers that the messy brunette haired lad has a younger brother who was about the same age as Tomoki. She was happy to meet Shinya even for Kouichi and Kouji who looks surprise to see the young boy.
"It's a good thing that you visits us, Shinya." Said Kouichi.
"Yeah and you're also growing up than the last time we saw you." Kouji commented.
"Um!" Shinya answered, "Demo…"
The young boy's impression suddenly changed into chibi form as he turned his head to Takuya. Izumi and Kouichi followed their heads to the same direction where Shinya was looking. To their gasped, the messy brunette haired lad was still heating up the temperature and his angry impression is still on his face.
"What's with you, Takuya-kun?" Why are you getting so upset with Shinya-kun?" Izumi asked him.
"Well it's because I still remember the wrong direction of that map few months ago." The brunette lad answered,
"Come on Oniisama! I gave you the wrong map blame on the stray cat who entered our room." Shinya told him.
"He's angry because of the map?" the blonde haired girl muttered.
"That was all the screaming about?" Kouichi asked.
Kouji was about to stop Takuya from torturing to his poor little brother but alas the brunette haired lad was already head locking on Shinya's neck while he was giving a nodgie on his little brother's head. Izumi stared at the two siblings with a small sweat-drop.
"I don't think Takuya-kun will ever stop." Izumi muttered.
"Oi Takuya if you don't stop that, Shinya will…" Kouji warned.
Too late, Takuya was already one hundred percent angry now. Really, really angry that Izumi have ever seen. Kouichi was also sharing the same expression with the blonde haired girl beauty. The poor kid was shaking in fear to see his brother's rage while Kouji was winced at the siblings.
"It looks like the Mini-Taki won't survive." The lone lad muttered which made Izumi heard it clearly.
"EH? Who's this person you're preferring about?" she asked him.
"Kouichi sighs and answer her, "Taki is a nickname for Takuya that Otouto invented it a long time ago. Since Shinya and Taki are alike we label Shinya as Mini-Taki." He explained, "It may sound irritated on Shinya but he doesn't mind."
"Oh then I'll remember that nickname." She said.
While Kouichi was explaining on Takuya's nicknames to the curious blonde haired beauty, they heard a sudden 'thud' from the lone wolf lad. Without a word Takuya let go of his arm and started to walk out of his apartment. Kouji, Kouichi and Izumi saw him moving towards the entrance hall, he got his shoes on and left leaving without another word.
"What happen just now?" Izumi asked worriedly.
"It seems that Oniisama's still angry at Otousan." Shinya blurted out.
"EH? Nande Shinya?" Kouichi said. "I thought he was approved by Kanbara-san?"
"No… Okasan was the one who approved but Otousan was against to Oniisama's wishes to live on apartment. He might think I've come here to tell him that Otousan wants him back." The younger sibling answered.
After Shinya answered Kouichi's question he suddenly becomes all quiet with a guilty expression that was showing on his face. The twins also become quiet after they heard the reason of the brunette lad's angry. Izumi was somehow felt shocked and surprise knowing half of the Kanbara family.
"Ne Shinya-kun, you care your brother don't you?" she said
"Aa… hai." He answered, "I care Oniisama and I won't give up!"
"Then don't let go of that feeling. I'm sure Takuya-kun will also care back to you." She added.
Kouichi and Kouji were shocked on hearing the blonde haired girl's respond to the younger Kanbara. Shinya was surprise to hear her answers, this was the first time that there would be other people who understands he and his brother and their feelings. Hearing her answers, he felt confidence that it'll happen.
"Thanks… Izumi-neesan." he said.
Outside, Takuya was leaning on his back against the wall next to the door of his house. He had heard the conservation of his little brother and Izumi. He has the saddest expression that was on his face instead of his furious feeling that he used when he was torturing his little brother.
"Actually… I'm mad at something else." He said in a soft tone.
"You're mad at what, Taki?" the deep voice asked him.
Takuya didn't startled instead he was very calm at hearing the sudden deep and serious voice that was coming from the door. The door was opened, and then it becomes close as it reveals the person. It was Kouji who was standing too coldly and calm than Takuya that he had expected. To his expression he barely could read his mind.
"You don't need to know of my situation, Kouji." Takuya told him. "Also don't call me that damnnickname."
"I've known you very well. And I know you're hiding something from us." Said Kouji.
"… Please don't even try to do 'that'." Ordered the brunette lad.
"I won't, but let me tell you one thing, Takuya. Don't vent your anger on others, it won't help to solve your problems." The cold lad advises him, "Be gentle on your little brother. He was dead worried on you, after all."
Before the messy brunette haired lad was about to say another word, the long blackish blue haired lad gave out a shot glare that made him to shut his mouth. Takuya could barely understand what Kouji's face was written. With that the longhaired lad goes back to the brunette's home. Takuya was left alone thinking on something important.
"I guess I'll try." He whispers.
The brunette lad was bout to go back inside of his home, but he suddenly stopped as he felt a strange presence that he had never felt that before. Yet for somehow the feeling seems very strange as like he knew that presence somewhere. He looked at his left side but he saw no one.
"…Probably that neighbor kid was playing around." He said to himself.
Takuya went inside of his apartment house with no angry expression that was on his face. As he opens the door carefully, then his expressions changes into surprise as he saw Shinya was holding an image of a younger version of Takuya. The youngster was about to give Izumi to show the image, of course knowing that he took the image fast.
"Aaa… you're back again, Oniisama." Said Shinya.
"Shinya I know you're trying to show 'that' picture. Now you'll feel the real PAIN!" yelled the elder brunette sibling
"WAAA!" Shinya screamed again.
The elder sibling set out a punch to the younger one, Shinya closed his eyes very tightly as he doesn't want to see what would happen. But he didn't receive a blow, the young boy opened his eyes slowly. To his surprise Takuya's forefinger was pointing at his nose with a smile.
"Fool 'ya!" said Takuya, "Sorry that I made you worry lil' bro."
"? That was a joke?" Izumi wondered.
"Seems like it." Answered Kouichi.
Shinya smiled at his brother, "Hahaha! I can't believe I got fool." Said the youngster. "But hey no sweat, Oniisama."
Izumi looks happy to see the two siblings are finally getting on better than that they did earlier before. Kouichi and Kouji were also happy seeing Takuya's hot temper was finally put away to little Shinya. The younger sibling was smiling too much to his older brother then his expression changed with a mischievous smile that reminds the three of them like Takuya.
"Na Oniisama want me to show Izumi-neesan this picture?" Shinya asked him.
Takuya suddenly blushed madly like the color of deep crimson. His brown eyes formed into pair of dots and his mouth was left wide open. Kouichi put his right hand over his mouth as he was muffling his laugh from what the younger sibling said. Izumi had question marks appearing above her head curious on what Shinya was talking about. And Kouji winced in pain with vertical lines across his face. Then the elder sibling fumed furiously at his younger brother.
"SHINYAAA!" he fumed.
"Oh… oh." Shinya muttered.
"SHIIINNNEEE!" he yelled again.
Another wrath of torturing for little Shinya as Takuya was doing it now, Izumi, Kouichi ad Kouji stared at the two Kanbara siblings' torture show. They find it really amusing to see the two were torturing right in front of them even though they're their guests in the house.
"I think those two understand each other than their father." Izumi commented.
"HM? What makes you say that, Orimoto-san?" Kouji asked her.
"Ah… what I meant that I guess it would be very cool to have a sibling who understands each other's situation. I envy them." The blonde haired girl explained,
"Well in that case we should also help out to those two." Kouichi suggested, "The Mini-Taki was already in serious trouble."
Kouichi pointed at the Kanbara brothers very calmly, like the elder twin lad said was right. The Mini-Taki was almost choking at the strong headlock and Takuya was also giving a strong nodgie. Izumi and Kouji stared at them and they shared a major sweat-drop.
"Takuya-kun you shouldn't do that to your little brother!" Izumi told Takuya.
"Sou da you ne, Oniisama!" exclaimed Shinya, "And since I'm here, let's all PARTY!"
"OHH!" they cheered except Takuya.
"SINCE WHEN DID YOU DECIDE THAT, SHINYA?" Takuya demanded.
"Shut up, Taki at least we're holding a party on Shinya's arrival." Kouji answered.
"DON'T CALL ME THAT 'NAME'!" the brunette lad yelled again.
It's been hours after the crazy morning they finally get on the party for Shinya's sudden arrival. But Takuya was against at the idea having a blast so sudden although everyone did have a lot of fun on doing karaoke, chattering and entertaining. Then night appears, everyone except Takuya were all fast asleep probably they're all tired from the blast.
"Hmm… I guess things aren't getting that bad." Takuya whispers.
The messy brunette haired lad went to his balcony that was connected from his room. He stretched both his arms up in the air as it really aches his muscles due from the party and the headlock to his little brother. He was actually happy to it that Shinya appear just to see if he was fine. Takuya was about to hit the hay but he stopped as he saw Izumi's sliding door was opened.
"Yare… yare… Izumi-chan forgot to close it since she heard Shinya's scream." He said, "I guess I have to shut it for her."
Takuya jumped off to the other side of the balcony next to his apartment where it was near on Izumi's apartment. He managed to land there safely. As he was about to shut it, his chocolate eyes land on Izumi's latest painting that she had finished it. The brunette lad knew that it would be rude to enter her room just like the last time but he went inside of it anyway.
The curious brunette haired lad looked at the canvas board. Then he gasped as he saw something extraordinary he had never seen. The painting was well created and imaginative. The painting was a young princess smiling beautifully with flowers around her head, next to her was a prince who looks at the princess with a loving gaze. The background of the painting was a beautiful garden of royal castle.
"Sugoi I never thought Izumi-chan's artistic level could be that great." He amazed but then his expression changed to sadness.
-The Next Day
"UWAA! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" Izumi screamed.
It was only five o' clock in the morning and it was really early for them to wake up but with Izumi's sudden scream caused the boys to wake up. Takuya could barely shut his eyes again but he couldn't as he heard another scream of the blonde haired girl even for Shinya.
"Ne Izumi-chan, can you keep your tone down? It's early in the morning." Said Takuya.
"I'm very sorry that I've woke you guys up. I gotta go now." She said.
Without another word, the blonde beauty had already left very fast. Takuya and Shinya stared at Izumi in their cute chibi form with a sweat-drop rolling down above their heads.
"Well then, I had lot of fun yesterday and I need to go home." Said Shinya, "So I guess I'll see you soon, Oniisama."
"Yeah and you're welcome to come here whenever you want lil' bro." The messy brunette haired lad told Shinya.
"Oniisama…" said the little sibling, "Well now I hope you'll win Izumi-neesan's heart."
"HEY!" he yelled angrily.
Takuya was blushing so madly after hearing the last sentences of his little brother and he has his angry glare at Shinya. The little sibling went off happily until the brunette sibling could no longer hear Shinya's footsteps. Then Takuya gave out a small smile.
"I guess little brothers will always like that." He muttered. "I'm lucky to have a caring little brother."
It took a little while then his eyes narrowed at the sleeping twins, "Hey aren't you going to wake up now guys?" he said.
"Zzzzz…"
