Chapter 2- My Beloved Sibling

The moment Tezuka set his things down, Ayana knocked on his door right away to announce that she was coming in. She has been waiting for him the whole day so that he could meet his new sister, Yumi. She couldn't tell who was more excited with the meeting; if it was her or her son. If someone else would judge it, she definitely looked a lot more excited than anyone else in the family. Who wouldn't get excited anyway? She just got a new daughter after a very long time.

"Kunimitsu-kun," she called as she entered the room. "Okaa-san, tadaima, I thought that you and otou-san were still out. No one responded when I came in," said Tezuka as he placed his notebooks down on his study desk. "Never mind that, dear, get changed right away and go directly to the living room," said Ayana. "Do we have a guest today?" Tezuka asked. "Silly boy, did you forget? Today's the day that your new sister arrives. She's with your father and they're waiting for you," Ayana smiled. "Oh, that's right. I was busy the whole day because of tennis practice that it totally slipped my mind," said Tezuka. "Oh, it doesn't matter, dear. I'll wait for you outside so we can go there together," said Ayana as she stepped out of the room.

Tezuka quickly changed and then left his room. And just like how she said it, Ayana was waiting just outside, checking on some of the paintings that was decorating the wall near his son's and new daughter's room. One was a huge painting of the house they had in Kyoto, the one that they visit from time to time whenever the whole Tezuka clan was present. And at the middle of Tezuka's room and Yumi's new room is a family painting taken a few years back, when Tezuka just entered Junior high school. Originally, it was a photo taken by a photographer friend of Kuniharu's. Tezuka's younger cousin saw the picture and painted it.

"This painting really is beautiful isn't it?" Ayana asked. "Hai, Tooru-kun definitely did a good job with it," said Tezuka. "I think, we'll have to ask Tooru-kun to make a new one for us soon," said Ayana as she stared up at the painting.

Of course, Tezuka understood what his mother was talking about. With a new sister in the family, there would definitely be a lot of changes that will happen. Tezuka's fully aware of all of that and he knows that the whole family is aware of that as well. But adjusting to a new sister is not the same as adjusting to a new home or a new school. It's not like meeting a new friend to go home with after classes in school. This new person in his life would be living in the same house as him and his family. How would he adjust to this new person now? He doesn't really understand how but just like how life and tennis are for him, he would face them without regret.

"Finally!" his father's voice rang when he and his mother arrived in the living room. "Yumi-chan and I have been waiting for you, Kunimitsu," said Kuniharu. "Sorry for being late," said Tezuka. "Don't pressure him too much dear. He just came from school and I'm sure they had an intense tennis practice again," said Ayana. "Oh, well then it couldn't be helped. Anyway, Kunimitsu-kun, we'd like you to meet your new sister, Yumi," said Kuniharu. "It's nice to finally meet you, Kunimitsu-san," said Yumi as she bowed in front of Tezuka.

When Tezuka turned to see the girl, he was surprised. Was this girl really adopted by his parents? Had he been tricked by his family that he was an only son? These were the first questions that entered his mind immediately after seeing Yumi. Those brown eyes and brunette hair, they were definitely similar to his. If not for the fact that the girl was adopted, he would think that she was his long lost sister or something close to the thought. But of course that was impossible, and he knew very well why.

"Yumi-chan, didn't I tell you? You're going to call Kunimitsu as 'Onii-chan' from now on," said Kuniharu. "He's right, Yumi. You will call me 'Okaa-san,' you will call Kuniharu as 'Otou-san' and you will call Kunimitsu here as your 'Onii-chan'. This makes us more like a family now, right?" said Ayana.

"I guess you're right about that. Will it be okay if I call you 'Onii-chan,' Kunimitsu-san?" Yumi asked.

Who could resist a girl like her? The moment he laid eyes on her, Tezuka knew right away who that girl is to him. She is someone special to him as much as she is special to his parents. That's because Yumi is his dream come true, because Yumi is his beloved younger sister.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

"Of course you can. I'll always be your big brother," said Tezuka. "Thank you very much, onii-chan," said Yumi as she smiled at him.

"I'm so happy," said Ayana, her eyes a bit shiny from unshed tears. "Now, let's not get too sappy now. I didn't get all happy just to get all teary-eyed afterwards," Kuniharu joked. "Well, that is true," said Ayana as she wiped away her tears. "Why don't we have a little chat, as a family, with some drinks and some pastries perhaps?" said Kuniharu. "I'll go and prepare some," said Ayana. "Do you need any help, okaa-san?" Yumi asked. "Oh, I'll be fine dear. You stay here," said Ayana.

Yumi, Tezuka and Kuniharu sat back down on the soft couches and decided to chat some more while waiting for Ayana to come back with the refreshments. There were a lot of things that Yumi wanted to know about her new family. She wanted to know a lot of things about her new father, her new mother, her new brother and her new grandfather that she hasn't met yet. She couldn't explain whether it was excitement or nervousness but just looking at her new family makes her all tingly inside. It's the same feeling she always feels when she's opening her Christmas presents or when receiving praise from her favorite teacher in school.

Before Yumi was adopted by the Tezuka family formally, she already met Kuniharu. He was a frequent visitor in the orphanage. Every week he would drop by to give donations for the children's ward, the section of the orphanage where sick children stay. During those times, Kuniharu would see her near the playground sitting on one of the few benches surrounding the monkey bars and the slides. She would always have a book on hand or a sketchbook and a pencil while she lets the time pass. It took a while before she and Kuniharu became close. He started by talking to her whenever he visited, during particular days, he would bring books for her to read or some new sketching materials whenever he noticed how worn out or how small her pencils were. Eventually she learned to open up to him and talk to him about various things that she knew and that she was interested in.

Looking back to where she started when she met Kuniharu, she never actually expected to be adopted right away. After suffering from a tragedy she never thought would happen to her and her family, Yumi never really thought about it ahead. She never realized what possibilities there are to be adopted when she stays in an orphanage. Other than that, life just seemed to stop after the accident.

"Yumi, have you seen the rest of the house yet?" Kuniharu asked. "No, I didn't really get to look that much around the house yet. I was too busy looking around my room, I guess," said Yumi shyly. "Well then, why don't you and Kunimitsu take a tour around the house? I'll go to your mother and tell her that we'll have the refreshments later in the garden," Kuniharu suggested. "Is that really all right?" Yumi asked. "It's fine. There are a lot of things that you'll probably like here," said Tezuka. "Oh, be sure to show her the library, Kunimitsu. She's as much a bookworm as you are so I'm sure she'd love that," said Kuniharu.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

The moment Kuniharu mentioned about the library, Yumi couldn't wait to see how much books she would be able to read as long as she wanted. Yumi tried her utmost best to contain her excitement, but it seemed like her new big brother sensed how she felt. But before they went to the library, they toured around the rest of the house first. There were definitely a lot of things that they enjoyed checking out. Yumi loved the fact that they had a room that it solely used for music. There were a lot of instruments, many of which were favorites of Yumi's. Tezuka mentioned that aside from Martial arts, their grandfather was most interested in music, all kinds of it in fact.

"Do you like music, onii-chan?" Yumi asked. "Yes, I do. Playing the piano is one of my favorite pass times," said Tezuka. "That's a great pass time," said Yumi. "Do you play any instrument?" Tezuka asked. "There are a lot of instruments that I like but I usually play the piano, violin and guitar," said Yumi. "So, are you more into contemporary music?" he asked. "Not really, I love classical music too. I play more classical music than contemporary, actually," Yumi explained.

It took them a few more rooms until they finally reached the place Yumi wanted to visit the most. Yumi knew right away that the room was packed by wonderful books of all genres and volumes. She was sure the shelves around her were stacked with books from all over the world. She could swear that she saw tomes and tomes of books in one of the largest shelves.

"Are these in German?" Yumi asked as she scanned one of the royal blue tomes from the shelf. "Yes, father bought it from Germany two years ago. It's a good book," said Tezuka. "I'm sure it is. But first, I have to learn how to speak German first," said Yumi. "That's fine, I can teach you how," said Tezuka. "Thank you. Onii-chan, I'm glad I have a brother like you," said Yumi.

That was really surprising for Tezuka. But in truth, he was very happy. At least his new sister verbally affirmed that she was happy to have a brother like him. That meant he just has to be the best brother that he can be to the best sister that she has.

"I'm glad you're my sister too, Yumi. Let's enjoy our family together, from now on," said Tezuka, looking ever so gently at her.

Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
