I love the reviews I got and the fact I got a guess on who Kisara's siblings are. I'm not going to say whether or not they got it right. You'll have to read and see. I'm excited for this and I'll be sure to start on the sequel. I've decided that this series will be working on the loose ends in every season that still had yet to be tied up. Along with a few filler one-shots whenever I'm not working on a story. So here comes the next chapter and hopefully not the end of my inspiration streak with this one. After we're done with the anime we'll move on to one of the video games I've been walked through on YouTube.
Dinner Disaster
By Sailor Phoenix1997
Kisara made a checking motion with her finger, making sure that there were just enough set places for everyone.
"Let's see. Nee-sama, Nii-sama, Onii-chan, Ani-kun, Anzu-chan, Jounochi-kun, Honda-kun, myself. Am I forgetting someone?" Teana walked in and thought hard.
"Doesn't Jounochi-kun have a little sister?" Kisara hit her forehead.
"Right! I'll get that settled." Kisara went into the kitchen to grab the place set but the phone rang. "Who could that be?" she asked as she picked up the phone. "Hai, Sennen residence."
"Hello? This is Honda Hiroto. Is Kisara-chan there?"
"Honda-kun, yes. I'm here," Kisara said smiling as she pushed a piece of hair behind her ear. "It's wonderful to hear from you."
"Ah, Kisara-chan. I was actually calling to tell you that, unfortunately, I won't be able to come to dinner tonight." Kisara's eyes widened.
"Is that so? Why not Honda-kun?"
"My sister's son was supposed to have a play date tonight but his play mate got the chicken pox so I have to watch him. And that means I can't come over tonight. I hope it's not a problem."
"It's no problem Honda-kun. Perhaps we can find another date for you to have dinner with us. Have fun with your nephew Honda-kun."
"More like wish me luck." Kisara giggled lightly as she hung up the phone.
"Well, that solves the problem of another plate." Teana walked in with a hand over her stomach and another on her back. "Are you alright Nee-sama?"
"Well, this baby is going to have good pair of legs when it finally comes out. It loves playing soccer with my kidneys."
"Didn't you have an ultra-sound today?" Kisara asked as she leaned against the wall, letting Teana check the pots and pans and oven.
"Yes I did. I was waiting until Atemu came home so he can get the news first."
"Oh, Nee-sama. Please tell me. Is it a boy or a girl? Is it twins?" Teana smiled and ran a hand over her pale-green dress, clutching tiny pieces here and there. She shook her head in a tired manner.
"Kisara-chan. You're going to have to promise you won't say a word to your brothers. I want to tell them myself."
"Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my eye," Kisara said, making an X over her chest and a motion with her hand like she was poking a needle into her eye.
"Alright." Teana checked the front hallway to be sure they could speak in private and walked back to her younger sister-in-law. "It's going to be a boy. Little Hiro-kun." Kisara covered her mouth and bit down on her tongue to keep from shouting out.
"Nee-sama, that's wonderful!" She threw her arms around her sister's neck. The two stood there for a second before the doorbell rang and the barking of four dogs filled the hall. "Oh, I'll get that." Kisara said quickly moving from the room and silencing the dogs before opening the door and revealing Jounochi and Shizuka. "Jounochi-kun! Wonderful timing! And this must be your little sister," Kisara said extending her hand to the auburn-haired girl.
"Yes. I'm Shizuka."
"Well it's wonderful to meet you Shizuka-chan. My name's Kisara. Please come in. Don't be afraid of the dogs they're only weapon unless you attack is their tongues and size. They'll tackle you and lick ya to death is you let them," Kisara said as she ushered the two through the door. Peter started sniffing Jounochi's ankle.
"They're so cute," Shizuka said.
"Well. The female German Shepherd is Jill and the male is Jack. The brown Mastiff is Peter and the gold one is Penny." Shizuka extended her hand to the dogs and let them lick her palm and wrist. "My older brother, Tozokou, uses the Shepherds in his work. He's a detective and when he's not on a case, he's a lawyer. The Mastiffs are used to protect the house."
"Are they really used for stuff like that?" Shizuka asked.
"Sometimes, yes. Other times, with being trained properly, they'll only know how to be kind. Being raised around children is a huge help with raising dogs. And these dogs are still puppies in their standard. They're almost a year old. They'll be 18 months when my sister-in-law gives birth." Shizuka pulled herself away from the dogs, who trailed her into the living room. "Dinner's almost ready. Unfortunately Honda-kun won't be able to join us tonight. He has to babysit his nephew. Anzu-chan should be here any second."
"You said you had three brothers right?" Shizuka asked. Kisara nodded. "Are they still at work or are they here now?"
"My oldest brother, Atemu, is coming home now and Tozokou is upstairs making a plan for a case he's covering in court tomorrow and Yami's probably napping." Jounochi started coughing slightly.
"Did you say Atemu was your brother?"
"He's also Nee-sama's husband. They're expecting their first child right now. It should just be about four months from now until we hear the pitter-patter of little feet." The sound of the door opening and closing echoed up the hallway.
"Teana! I'm home! Kisara, I found one of your friends on their way here!"
"Oh! That must be Anzu-chan," Kisara said quickly walking into the hall where Anzu and Teana were becoming familiar with each other. Kisara shook her head and made a slightly quizzical look at the similarity between the two's appearances but shook it off. "Anzu-chan, I'm glad you were able to find your way."
"I was lucky that your brother stopped and picked me up. I think it was about to rain, what with all the dark clouds lately. I think they're ready to burst."
"Yea. Burst with something we shouldn't mess with," Kisara thought. She quickly put on a smile. "Well, Jounochi-kun and Shizuka-chan are already here. Is dinner almost ready Nee-sama?"
"Yes. It just needs a few more minutes to be ready. I could use some help and a little time borrowed from my husband," Teana said taking Atemu's hand and winking at Kisara as she passed. Kisara smirked and lead Anzu into the living room.
"What was that about?" Anzu asked as she took a seat in the living room.
"Well, Nee-sama is pregnant. She had an ultrasound today and she's going to have a boy. She's going to show Nii-sama any-" A loud shout echoed from the hall followed by a squeal and the crashing of a few pots and pans. Kisara just smiled and looked down at her lap. "I think she told him the news." The four teenagers burst into laughter. Kisara looked out the window out of the corner of her eye and was met with almost black clouds. "Perfect timing. Had we waited another day, there could've been very bad consequences." Kisara clenched her jeans and blue-and-white tie-dye t-shirt in her fists.
Anzu patted her napkin against her lips while Jounochi belched loudly.
"Jounochi-kun," she scolded.
"Onii-chan," Shizuka said in the same tone. Tozokou let out a similar belch and patted his stomach.
"Oh don't worry about it Jounochi-kun. It simply means that Teana did a good job with cooking, as usual." Kisara hid her reddening face in her palm and shook her head. Atemu looked up from his empty plate and drummed his fingers on the table.
"There's another reason we invited you three here tonight," he said catching the attention of the three guests. "As you know, Kisara is our sister. We all shared the same parents. Kisara was born soon after the divorce of our mother and father when we were seven. Our mother re-married and had a son when we were ten. We left a year later." Tozokou rubbed his wrist and bit his lip until Kisara placed a hand on his shoulder and smiled kindly at him.
"What's this got to do with us?" Anzu asked. Kisara cleared her throat.
"Well, it's also got to do with why Yugi's so angry with me. That baby boy was named Motou Yugi." Jounochi started coughing again.
"Wait! Yugi, my best friend, is your baby brother?"
"Half-brother really. I left when he was eight."
"So you wanted us to know that you were Yugi's older sister?" Anzu asked. Atemu rubbed the bridge of his nose.
"There's more. Our father also remarried after the divorce. He had a single son and an affair with another woman and a baby girl the same year. About two years later he had a daughter and a few years later they were divorced, leaving my father with the boy and my step-mother took the girl," Yami said. Anzu looked from the family to her friends.
"And?"
"When we left Domino for San Francisco, we convinced our paternal grandfather to take us in. He told us of our father's other three children and of his drinking and gambling habits but unfortunately good old Grandpa died when we turned 18. That was when Kisara hunted us down," Tozokou said pulling his white-haired sister into a hug.
"I'm so sorry about your grandfather," Shizuka said. Tozokou sighed.
"Anzu-chan," Kisara said, "You live with your mother right?" Anzu nodded. "Jounochi-kun, Shizuka-chan, you two were separated by divorce and have a drinking, gambling father right?" The two nodded, then things started clicking.
"Do you mean to say-" Anzu said. Kisara stood up and took a deep breath.
"My real name isn't Sennen Kisara. We only used Sennen because it was the name our grandfather wanted us to take. Our real names are Jounochi Atemu, Jounochi Tozokou, Jounochi Yami and Jounochi Kisara. Anzu-chan. You're real family name is Jounochi." Anzu placed a hand on her forehead, taking it all in as Shizuka looked around the table.
"You mean to say. That. My father and Jounochi-kun's father are the same person? How did you know?"
"Our grandfather received messages from our father from time to time. When we arrived in America he told us that our father had three new children; Anzu, Katsuya, and Shizuka," Atemu said. Shizuka stood up, smiling.
"Well, I always wanted a sister," she said with tears swelling in her eyes. She walked over to Kisara and pulled her into a hug. Katsuya looked around.
"I guess I always did want a brother," he said walking up to Atemu, who clapped him on the shoulder before pulling him into a hug. Anzu stood up and licked her lips.
"I've been an only child all my life. But having, suddenly, seven brothers and sisters, a sister-in-law and a soon-to-be-born nephew, I think I can adjust." She walked over to her two new half-sisters and hugged them tightly. Tozokou smirked at Yami.
"Looks like you owe me 200 yen," he said. Yami slapped the money into his brother's palm as Teana shook her head.
"You two give me a headache," she said. Kisara started laughing as she and her two new sisters let go of each other. The entire family soon joined in, only to be interrupted by a roll of thunder that shook the house and a bolt of gold lightning.
"What was that?" Shizuka asked. Kisara looked out the window at the pitch-black clouds now decending on the streets.
"Oh no," Yami said standing up and clutching his crystal.
"What's going on?" Anzu asked.
"Our business. This is why we had to tell you tonight," Atemu said. "Anzu, Katsuya, Shizuka, we'll need you all to call your parents and say you'll be staying the night here. Any question come up, just say that you found out about our connection. In the meantime, Yami, Tozokou. Are the fortifications-"
"Already done. We did those on day one," Yami said.
"Well, make sure they're re-enforced. Are we forgetting anything?" Kisara's eyes widened and she bolted out of the room and out the door. "Kisara!"
"Peter! Jack! Jill!" Tozokou called. The three dogs appeared in the doorway, along with Penny. "Go after her and make sure she gets to where she's going unharmed." The dogs bounded after Kisara, barking up a storm.
"What's going on out there?" Katsuya demanded as Tozokou and Yami walked by him and out the door.
"It's what we've all been worrying about ever since we moved here," Atemu said clutching his crystal that had begun to faintly glow and tossed his cell phone to Anzu. "Call your mothers and tell them you're staying here. Wherever Kisara went I hope she doesn't get hurt."
"You're not going to follow her?" Anzu asked as she dialed her mother's number with trembling hands.
"No. And I forbid you three to either. She knows how to defend herself if she must. Now just finish calling your mothers and then follow Teana to your rooms. You'll be here for safety reasons." The three didn't argue.
A/N: Okay! We are not at the end yet. We still have a little to do along with putting in the idea that I wasn't able to do before. It'll be a little hard to make it to that point though, but at least we got the mystery of Kisara's family solved. So, SerenePanic, you were right. You even got Anzu being the affair child right. Now, I hope you all like this. Please review!
