Disclaimer: I do not own Brothers Conflict, only my OCs.
I am so sorry for the long wait. But there are more OCs introduced in this chapter. Leave a review or PM me as to who they should end up with or if they should end up with anyone at all. English is in bold.
Kimiko woke up early on Saturday morning, not to the sound of heavy pounding on her bedroom door, but to the sound of synchronized breathing form above her. Opening her eyes, Kimiko fought back a scream at the sight of three people staring down at her.
"Holy crap!" Grabbing the object nearest to her, she flung it as hard as she could to one of her laughing friends. "Assholes! Oh, my god! You scared the crap out of me! How did you even get in here!? And what happened to your hair?" Managing to quench her laughter, Ella Zhang looked up at her sleep ruffled friend before promptly bursting out into laughter again, brown hair dyed purple flying behind her as she doubled in half, as if sucker-punched in the gut. Victoria Chung answered her instead.
"Your house is ridiculously easy to get into. Like, really? A key under the doormat? That was the best they could think of? Oh, and Leiah wanted to dye our hair, and this happened." Using one hand, she pointed to her newly red tipped hair. The other rested on her hip. Leiah Hyun, on the other hand, had retreated to just outside the doorway after the first pillow had been thrown.
"Is it safe to come in yet?" Kimiko sighed and motioned for the petite girl to shuffle in, signaling that it was safe. For now.
"Yeah. You're safe. I wasn't mad, just startled. But I am wondering why you guys are here, why it's possible that though Leiah was the one that wanted to learn how to dye hair, she's the only one with her regular hair color, and how none of my siblings noticed three ridiculously dressed teenagers with brightly colored hair breaking into our house." Kimiko sighed and stood up, about two inches taller than Victoria, who was the second tallest. Both Ella and Leiah were around Ema's height.
"Oh, none of them were home." Ella said nonchalantly. "You do realize that it is one p.m. right? I still don't get your weird-ass sleeping schedules."
"... So, how are you here again?"
"The school caught on fire." Victoria stated indifferently. "Apparently something blew up in one of the labs. No one was hurt but everyone was given the option to either study abroad or resume school during the summer. We took this opportunity to visit. You're welcome."
"... Thanks…"
"No biggie. Just show us to where the food is and that will be enough thanks." Ella was already through the doorway, heading in the direction that she assumed led to the kitchen. "Oh, and, should we switch over to Japanese? The only reason why our parents let us come was because we said the trip would be a good way for us to review our Japanese."
Kimiko followed Ella out the door, motioning for the others, before she answered. "That would probably be best."
"What time are your siblings coming back?" Leiah asked sweetly, pausing every few seconds to gaze around the apartment.
"I don't know. I've been asleep for 10 hours."
"Oh my god, Kimiko. Were you streaming anime again?" Victoria asked. As if she needed to.
Kimiko looked at her with disbelief. "Do you really need to ask me that? Do you not know me at all?"
Ella rolled her eyes but the corner of her mouth was twitching. Leiah just smiled.
"Whatever," Ella said. "Just where's the food? We are jetlagged as hell."
"Leiah thought sleep would be better for jet lag." Leiah wondered out loud. If she was feeling the effects of jet lag, she sure didn't show it.
"Hmmm. Both are good." Victoria stated, scooting around Kimiko and Ella to take the front.
"Do you even know where you're going?" Kimiko asked, half amused and half concerned.
"Of course I do." Victoria stated confidently.
"No I do not." Victoria stated, just as confident as before. Kimiko stared at the bustling room filled with people she didn't know, before groaning aloud.
And the worst part of all this?
She was still in her pajamas.
