"How was your school today?" I asked Ema as we strode down the street towards our brothers' home. Large trees loomed over us, shielding us from the blaring sun. The sweet smell of wild flowers and the slight hint of wild grass scents the air. The street our brothers lived at, was a rather quiet area in the urbanized city. Plus, it was minutes away from the train station, and the busy modern hub and not too far from the club.

"Pretty good. I learnt lots of new things today. Oh, by the way, today's bento tasted amazing!" Ema smiled, her eyes sparkling with happiness. "Thank you for taking the time to make it for me." Ema pressed a kiss on my cheek, her warm lips brushing gently on my soft milky skin. I beamed, blushing slightly. I love my sister, I really do. She was kind and loving, motherly even, despite our age difference. The best sibling I could ever ask for!

"Miyu-nee!" Ema waved her hand in front of my eyes. I blinked and smiled at her sheepishly.

"Oh? I spaced out?" I yawned, snuggling into Ema's chest. "I must be tired from work." I had basically only 2 hours of sleep before I had to get up to do my daily household chores, like making breakfast as well as packing up the last of our belongings into boxes to be shipped to our siblings' house.

"When we reach our step-brother's house, you should immediately go to bed! It's not good for your body to sleep only 2 hours a day! You should have just woke me up to do the packing!" Ema chided, hugging me close.

"Ema you needed the sleep to survive at school. By the way, what is Dad and Mama even thinking? Letting us live with a pack of 13 wolves while they themselves are living separately?" I sighed.

"It can't be helped Dad and Miwa-san are busy with work..." Ema explained softly.

"But, this means that you will be in danger of sexual harassment!" I retorted as we walked towards our new home. I eyed Ema's was dressed in her school uniform which was actually rather decent. Well, I yawned. My eyes felt heavier and heavier, and I was starting to doze off. Damn it.

"Our step-brothers aren't random perverts! So you really don't have to worry!" Ema replied. "Plus, don't you sexually harass people every day?"

"Touché. But, it's you! Not me! Our brothers are still boys with raging hormones and overflowing sexual confusion" I told her, resting my head on Ema's shoulder as we walked.

Ema mumbled something incoherently and she ran off ahead. I moaned. Nooo, my pillow is goneeee. I slumped onto the pavement tired out, propping my head against the wall. Miyu is shutting down. Repeat Miyu is shutting down.

"Excuse me? Umm..." I could hear Ema talking across the road. I moaned. I made a motion to get up but ended up slumping on the floor again. I sighed, brushing my long bangs out of my face. I'll just close my eyes for a second…Just a second…

"Miyu-nee! Wake up and get over here!" Ema's voice practically pierced through the peace and tranquillity I had been enjoying. Damn you. I lazily hopped to my feet, running my fingers through my silky smooth hair, pulling off the hood to shake the strands from their confinement. I strode up to Ema and stared.

His hair was a light coffee in colour dripping with swirls of milk chocolate and gold. His face? Perfectly in proportioned to one another with sharp contours and a certain softness to show his boyhood. His eyes that drooped at the corners were a deep bronze that shone with mirth like two glittering hard metal pieces. His features were sculpted into pure perfection, with a celestial nose and angular face features. He possessed a gentle yet authoritative power and seemed to radiate a paternal aura. To top it off, his broad shoulders taut with leans muscles under a thin green shirt showed hints of how sculpted and toned he was. This was not the Masaomi Asahina I had known. This was a hot piece of boy ass that grew up and turned into a man.

"Wait this can't b…I have been literally finding you since like day 1 and practically raping medical reports to find you and you're like….RIGHT UNDER MY FU-sorry underage ears-FLIPPING NOSE?" I gaped. I basically searched for Masaomi before looking for Dad. I'm serious. But I think he goes by another name or something because I could not even find him. Masaomi looked confused his eyes showed no hint of recognition.

"I'm sorry do I know you?" He somehow had not gone through puberty yet in the past because now his voice was an octave lower and deliciously warm like honey, if sounds could be described as food. Screw the explanation, hug first. I leaped into his arms, wrapping mine around his body. His warm body radiates deliciously warm heat and I press my face to the crook of his neck. Damn, still apple pie. It makes you wonder if Miwa had intercourse with an apple to give birth to an apple pie god like him.

"F*cking assh*le. Maa-kun how could you have forgotten me?" I whispered, tears welling up in my eyes. I feel his ripped (and yummy) muscles tensed under his shirt.

"Wait you're M-Miyu?" He breathes. I nodded. "OMG!" He makes a super not like Masaomi yell and squeezes me tighter. We squeal for a good ten minutes ignoring our dumbfounded audience, just relishing the holy light and glory of finding your best friend after six years of doom. Seriously I love my best friend to death.

"I called you millions of times! Why didn't you call me?" Masaomi asked exasperated after we finally stop hugging each other.

"There was a landslide so my phone and computer did not survive. Plus I forgot your number…" I gave him a sad teary puppy eye look. He sighed and patted me head.

"At least you're safe…Though what have you been doing these few years? Did you get your dream job as a chef?" He asked his eyes shone with curiosity.

"Eh…Not exactly…But, I cook in my job so…Ah anyway what have you been doing? Where do you work?" I quickly try to change the subject to avoid further questioning.

"I'm a children's doctor in a private hospital! I love it there and the children love Usa-tan!" He gives me a bright shiny beam. Crisis avoided. Wait Usa-tan?

"No way! You kept that present I gave you?" I gasped.

"Of course I kept it! I even upgraded it! It has 20 different functions now…"

"What 20? Let me guess you stuffed like pens in it too…"

"Yeah, you twist its right arm and take it off and then you can take stationary from the inside!"

"HAHA! That's sick!"

"I know! But, the kids will probably freak out so I'll change it to something else." For a moment there's peaceful silence as we stared at each other, a fond smile was on his lips as his eyes traced my features.

"So….imouto-chan huh?" He teased, his eyes bright with mirth. I raised a brow and smirked.

"Maa-nii huh?" I grinned. "Wait hold on a second that sounds like 'money'. HAHAHAHA MONEY." I guffawed. He blinked and sighed, his hands rubbing his temples. I drive you crazy sweetie, but I know you love it.

Now that we have kind of calmed down from the Masaomi and Miyu world. I just realised that there's a small boy standing beside Masaomi. He has short, curly light brown hair that was leaning towards salmon pink. His large caramel eyes sparkled like jewels which seemingly bewitches you to adore him. They were does shaped and framed by lush long lashes. His face resembled a female's with a heart shaped face, and feminine features topped off with his insanely huge eyes made him even cuter. My inner succubus squealed. Its head was starting to sink towards the gutter. Cute little caramel eyes squeezing tightly together in plea... NO! STOP. STOP. STOP.

"Eh is this…Wataru-kun?" I asked beaming at him. He nods brightly.

"Hello! Miyu Onee-chan!" He grins with a bright smile. Damn. I bet he has fangirls. He could be a child model. Then again an 11 year old who acts this cute…there's got to be some sort of evil double personality in this kid. He's acting like a 3 year old. Maybe…attention seeking? Overly spoiled? Or just cute in general. Wait let me guess, he uses the cuteness to get what he wants. Or is this the result of a lack in females in this house? Personality? Hmm…Am I over thinking this?

"Eh, I'm really tired so…." Then my random burst of energy just switched off and I slumped onto Ema."Sleeeeeeeeeep." I moaned.

"I'm so sorry. Miyu hasn't slept much today. Could you please show her to her room?" Ema heaved my half dead body up with great difficulty, and shoved me aside forcefully. I gave her a mean look as I stumbled forward, pouting at her sadly. Damn it little sis. Why won't you be a good girl and piggyback me?

I turned to Masaomi. I pushed out my bottom lip letting it tremble slightly while tearing a little so that my eyes appeared to be slightly watery. I then gave him the infamous classic puppy eye look, seriously I think Puss in Boots pulls this off better than a puppy, pouting slightly with my lower lip trembling slightly. I clasped my hands together and in my best 'I need help I am a cute ass person' voice.

"Onii-chan please piggyback me?" I asked. He glanced at me and for a moment I see adoration, happiness, humour and a dark emotion that made my skin seemed to burn under his gaze. It flashes away and he covers his palm on his face. He seemed to sigh fondly but I could see a bright red tinge on his cheeks. Ehhh, what was he embarrassed about?

"Seriously…Alright imouto." I climbed onto his back to wrap my arms around his neck. His warmth radiates onto my skin and the scent of apple pie, warm and sweet engulfs me. I snuggled into him, sighing happily listening to his heartbeat. I welcomed sleep, embracing the dark peaceful tranquillity, I am finally home.

_(XD)_

Masaomi smiled fondly, the edges of his lips were tilted up slightly, and there was a bounce in his step as he climbed up the steps to the nearest elevator. He blushed slightly as he feels the warmth of Miyu's slow breathing on his neck.

Wait there was also something really soft and kind of like cotton candy pressing into the small of his back…He blushed beetroot red, his face burning with embarrassment. Oh god. That was Miyu's…uh…womanly assets. It was pretty big…It probably got bigger in size after all these years. He wondered what it would be like to see it-NO Masaomi! You will not think lewd thoughts of your sleeping best friend turned younger sister on your back!

He shook his head forcefully before turning to nudge Wataru telling him to go to the living room. Masaomi then lead Ema to her room before trudging to the 'older siblings' level'. Basically the entire flat went by age. There was 6 stories in their entire flat. The older siblings slept on the fifth floor while the younger siblings slept on the fourth floor. They did not want the siblings to sleep too far apart in case anything happened. Ukyo, Kaname, Hikaru, himself, Tsubaki, Azusa, Natsume and Miyu were to sleep on the sixth floor with their designated rooms while Louis, Subaru, Iori, Yusuke, Fuuto and Wataru slept on the fifth floor.

Miyu's room was just at the other end of his. Masaomi groaned, he could practically picture her bouncing into his room in the middle of the night with Wataru to hog his bed. Maybe he ought to buy a bigger one just in case.

Masaomi trotted into Miyu's room and gently placed her onto the bed, covering her with the fluffy duvets. Her eyes were closed and fluttering slightly, her silky locks splayed over the pillow. Was she dreaming of something nice? He leaned down to press a kiss on her forehead before turning to turn off the lights. He stared at her for a moment watching her peaceful breathing. He thought he would move on, find someone else and maybe fall in love. But it never worked with every matched date by his mother. His heart had always been hers ever since he met her….
