It's been about 4 years since Ema and her father became apart of Miss. Miwa and her 13 sons family. All the ups and downs, drama of the first year have been left in the past. Even though most of her brothers have confessed their love, which was more the brotherly towards her that year, they all came to realize that she won't love them more then just the sisterly love she has always felt. Well sisterly love towards all of the except one brother inperticular; her best friend and the brother who was her classmate long before she joined the family; Yusuke. Not that she would tell him, not after everything that's happened. And she didn't want to destroy their friendship. Ema was staining at a sweater that she was holding up infront of her. She and Yusuke went to the same college, he was studying graphic animation and she was studying to become a photo journalist, but she honestly wanted to be a photo blogger. They where about to enter their last year of college and they both made the decision to study abroad for 6 of the last 8 months of college they had left. Their mother decided to take them shopping for new clothes for this next adventure. Ema wanted to live off the college campus and Yusuke wanted to live on campus. They compermised to close to campus, that's if they can find a place close enough to walk that wasn't to expensive. Little did Yusuke know, Ema was watching the to see if anyone needed a roommate or two. Mostly all of the people she saw only wanted one roommate.

"That would be a great color on you Ema!" Her mother said coming up behind her.

"I thought I would get some sweaters for the winter. Since they are starting to bring out winter things." Ema explained placing the sweater in her bag. She already had 6 sweaters, 10 pairs of Jeans, 5skirts, about a dozen tops that are virile for fall winter and spring, boots, flats and the other nissessities she needed to finish packing.

"That's smart Ema, I wish Yusuke was that smart when I took him shopping yesterday." Mom said with a sigh.

Ema became close to Miwa over the last few years. They where mother and daughter and once or twice a month they would have a mother daughter weekend.

"Mom, can I ask a question?" Ema asked shyly.

Miwa knew that she had a major crush on someone but never actually told her mom who. She wanted to either get over her feelings for Yusuke or confront them.

"What is it dear?" Miwa asked as they continued to shop.

"You know how I'm in love with this guy, but he doesn't know it right?"

"Yes."

"I don't want to destroy our friendship with confessing but I want to know how he actually feels about me. I also don't want to tare the family apart either." She explained.

Ema never really knew how in tune Miwa was with each of her 14 children. She knew that Masaomi was very intuitive towards everyone, she also asked his advice about it, and he said that the family will understand what ever she decided.

"This wouldn't have anything to do with Yusuke?" Miwa asked her.

"WHAT!! How did..." Ema asked shocked.

"Ema dear, I raised 13 boys, if I can't see the Subtle hints that they have, or you then I don't know my own children." She raised her eye brow at Ema.

"Yes it is about Yusuke." Ema blushed as she answered.

"I'll let you in on a little secret, Yusuke asked be about a girl before you became my daughter, and then after he never mentioned her again. I've watched him over the last few years, he gives you the same look your father gives me when he thinks I'm not watching. I would talk to him. Maybe use this year away from the family to see what happens." Miwa suggested as they headed back to Sunrise Residents.

Ema and Miwa returned to residence to find all her brothers and her dad sitting looking at old pink photo albums.

"Ema said she didn't have many pics of her self growing up. But you have so many." Watura exclaimed.

"That's because I carried these with me as I traveled or other parents and teachers took them and sent them to me." Dad explained with a smile.

"Who's this with big sis?" Watura asked picking up a photo of Ema with another girl.

"Aww, I believe that's Ema's elementary best friend, here another one of the two of them in middle school. I believe her name was..." her father said rubbing his chin trying to come up with her name.

"It was Keiko." Ema smiles at the photos of the two girls.

"Why haven't we met her?" Subaru asked.

"She moves after the middle school pic was taken. Her mother died and her father decided to move back to his childhood home." Ema explained picking up both photos.

Few weeks later;

Ema was busy making dinner for the family, it was the last family dinner where everyone was free befor she and Yusuke would be leaving to go abroad. She was preparing the soup when she received a notification from the colroomies app.

"Will you excuse me for a moment Kyo?" She asked her brother.

"Yes." He smiled.

Ema walked into the living room where mostly everyone was at. She opened the notification; and read.

1 or 2 roommates needed for London Town house close to the London University. Only 20-30 min walk to campus and 5 min tube ride to campus station. The town house is two bedroom, two bath. Don't mind if the roommates are male or female. Only have to help with the utilities, and food. Family owned town house. Would be beneficial if roommates spoke and understood Japanese, as I'm a college student from Japan. Email for more information, keikei.ice. I look forward to hearing from you:)

This maybe one of the best days Ema has ever had.
