The house that they all had seemed empty now the occupants' bedrooms were all packed up. With a sigh of relief after finishing packing the last bedroom, Akemi wiped the sweat from her for head and walked into the bathroom to gather the necessities that she had left there for her to change before heading to their family's new home.
Akemi and her 7 other siblings would be moving to the residence where their soon to be stepmother's children lived. The woman owned a high-end fashion company, that was globally acclaimed. She bought a whole apartment building and had it renovated to accommodate her 13 sons and now her 8 stepchildren. Even though Akemi, Riku, and Mio were adults their stepmother insisted they move in as well, stating that many of her adult sons lived in residence as well.
Looking in the mirror, her dark silver hair made her pale skin look even paler. The contrast between her skin and eyes seemed to cause her bright blue eyes to pop. She sighed knowing that she overworked herself. She knew she shouldn't have, with her weak immune system. Riku had told her he could reschedule some of his appointment at the shop to stay and help her pack Mio's belongings. Akemi knew that his tattoo shop was one of the top places to get beautiful works of ink. She couldn't let him set himself back to have to work though till little Kimika's 7th birthday in 3 weeks.
Checking her phone for the time, she had about an hour or so until the moving company got there to take the boxes for their move. Miwa assured them all that she had gone and picked out furniture to fit each of their individual personalities and that they did not need to bring the larger stuff. The night that she told them, Akemi reminded her that Mio needed a whole wall of bookcases for the collection she had acquired.
After a shower Akemi pulled her hair up into a high bun and chose a simple sweater and skinny jeans. She put the necessities into her tote bag and put it by the door. She was scrolling on her phone looking at the updates from two of the triples about the end of their tour last night. Dauji and Nenji became a few of the top K-pop idols. Their last performance was last night in Nagoya. While their third brother Kouji decided to fallow a different path. He and Emma both went to a high school in the area that allowed them to have their hobbies in school and not just outside of school. They both had club activities today so they wouldn't be showing up till after. Kouji was in the art club focusing on manga art, Emma was in the photography club, and they were planning an outing to the shopping district to work on blogs that they posted online.
Hearing a knock on the door, Akemi stood and left the movers in and sat back down after explaining that the boxes were all that was going to the new address. Once all the boxes were moved to the truck the men confirmed the address and left her. Julie, Emma's pet squirl jumped into her bag and curled up for the trip to their new home. She pulled her face mask on and left to go pick up Kimika from kindergarten.
Kimika was the last child born and a complete surprise after the triplets. Then 6 months later their mum was diagnosed with advanced stage cancer that she couldn't overcome. So, finding out that their father had met a wonderful person to marry after that traumatic event was a blessing.
Akemi, Emma, Dauji, Nenji and Kimika shared the same hair color as their father. While Riku and Kouji had blazing red hair like their grandfather on their mother's side and Mio had light pink hair like their mother. They all had blue or green eyes that stood out on their features.
Standing outside the gates to the elementary school, she waited until Kimi was let out of the classroom. She was thinking that it would be interesting having their weekly video call with Mio. Mio was currently in the Uk finishing up her master's degree in Antiquities and would return at the end of the week from the year of study abroad to begin the Doctorates degree she planned to finish. Mio's first job was at the Tokyo National Museum, and she was hooked on the aspect of working in a museum as a curator.
"Akemi!" A voice carried over to her.
Kimi decided to wear a cute sundress with little yellow flowers all over with her yellow kicks she wanted a few weeks earlier. Akime braided her hair and wove yellow ribbon into them. She looked ready to meet their new siblings.
"Kimi bug how was school?" She asked as she took her hand to walk to the train station.
"Oh we worked on letters, I colored a picture for our new house. We read stories and played tag." Kimi explained enthusiastically.
Akime smiled behind her mask as she allowed the 6-year-old to continue to chat about her day on the trip to their new home. It didn't take them long to get to their new place of residence, when they arrived it looked like the movers had arrived and taking their things inside. Akime saw that a older man and a younger child were outside watching the movers. Kimi's grip tightened as she grew closer to the elder sibling. Akime chuckled as she called out.
"Excuse me, Hello!" catching the elder man standing there attention.
"Hello, you must be a few of our new siblings. We have the movers placing the boxes in the correct rooms. The boxes were clearly labeled so made those inside directing's job a bit easier." He chuckled.
"I'm glad and thank you for agreeing to receive the movers while I picked up Kimika here." Akime thanked.
"I'm the oldest here, Masaomi and this one here is the youngest, Wataru." Masaomi introduced them to Akime and Kimika.
"Your who I spoke to last night to make sure that someone would be here to receive the movers. I'm Akemi the oldest and this shy girl is Kimika."
"Yes that was me." Masaomi spoke as Wataru exclaimed happily.
"Hey there! Why are you hiding?"
"Wataru, Kimika is a bit shy around knew people. She will come around soon." Akemi spoke before a cough came over her.
Masaomi smiled at the little girl and eyed the older sibling as she coughed into her face mask. He made a note to ask if she needed something for the cough when they got into the building. He walked them in and began to show them the home. He explained that those that lived on the bottom floor were members of Miwa's company and rented the space from the family. Masaomi showed them to their rooms and Wataru was excited that his little sister was in the room next to his and wanted to show her his massive bunny.
Akemi explained that they needed to unpack a little so that Kimika had clothes for school the next day. She asked Wataru to watch for two of their other siblings Emma and Kouji who would be heading home soon. Once the rooms were unpacked, which took less time than packing.
Akemi took Kimi's hand and Juli jumped onto the little girl's shoulder. His head was moving around to try and spot Emma. Once they were at the top floor he jumped and scurried off to find Emma.
"Juli is on the hunt for Emma hu Kimi."
"Yeah he is funny."
Getting to the railing that led down to the living area and kitchen, Akemi spotted Emma receiving a hug from a white-haired young man. Kimi was watching closely to see how her other sister would take the hug before running to her to tell her about her day. Just as the little girl was going to go to her other sister. A dark-haired young man smacked the other on the back of the head.
"I'm sorry you had to see that. I'm Azusa and it's good to have you here and can't wait to meet the others." He smiled.
"Oh, I'm Emma..."
"EMMMA!" Kimi came barrowing into the older siblings' legs to give her a hug.
"Kimi, you shouldn't run like that." Akemi called.
"Oh! Two more sisters! I'm Tsubaki." The white-haired brother jumped up rubbing the back of his head.
"I'm Akemi the eldest of the Hinata siblings." She smiled at them.
"Who is this little one?" Azusa asked kneeling down to Kimika's level.
"I'm Kimika." She spoke shyly.
"Well I'm happy I have such a cute youngest sister like you." Azusa smiled at her acknowledging that the girl was shy.
"Alright you two, lets not intimidate them. I am Ukyo the lawyer of the family." The older blond spoke as he brought out a cart with cups and a tea pot on the top. Juli runs over to Ukyo's feet and began to angerly chirp at the older brother.
"I's sorry about him." Emma said, swooping Juli up into her arms.
Akemi coughed a little again, knowing that she well and truly over did it the previous day and that morning. Emma and Kimika gave her a look and she shook her head at them.
Akemi was glad that Emma was able to finish up her club activity early to head home. But she was a bit worried about Kouji as he hadn't reached out about being later. While they were chatting, someone called out from above them.
"Guys! I thought I told you I don't wanna see your game here!"
"Well Look who decided to show up!" Tsubaki smirked.
The red head sounded irritated to Akemi, somewhat like Riku when he had a client that couldn't make up their mind on a tattoo.
"Yeah, well I live here and I don't wanna have to watch your make out sessions." He scoffed irritating Akemi.
Then he noticed Emma standing there looking at him with a courius look on her face. "No Way!" He rushed down to make sure that it was Emma. "Yusuke! Hi!" She spoke unsure.
The boy Yusuke looked as though he was trying to grasp the reason why Emma was there. "What are you doing here?!"
Akemi giggled even though she was irritated, while Ukyo sighed softly.
"Tsubaki, you didn't tell him?"
"What but why? Let me guess you forgot!" Yusuke seemed to growl at a snickering Tsubaki.
"You know your tone sounds really judgmental right now." Tsubaki looked at Yusuke with a sad look.
With an irritated sigh Yusuke looked back at Emma, "Look I did not sigh up for this mess. Your my classmate not my sister got it."
Tsubaki fallowed as the temperamental teenage boy walked away. "Seriously? Why are you being so dramatic bro? You cant just disown her." The others heard before the conversation grew quiet.
As soon as a few more of the brothers joined them and Akemi sent out a text to Kouji. They were all seated on the sofa and discussing the others that had yet to show up. The brother Kaname smiled at the littlest one when she finished telling them about her day that Emma asked about.
"Two of our brothers don't live here. One is at work, then you have this guy." Kaname turned on the tv and showed a light blond idol singing.
"Look its Fuuto!" Wataru smiled.
"Oh so we have another Idol?" Akemi said at the same time that Emma spoke, "Thats Fuuto?"
Tsubaki huffed in annoyance as he held a pillow.
"That fake smile looks like a cry for help."
Azusa tried not to laugh at his twins comment.
Subaru sighed "He's on tour."
Iori smiled, "I was wondering where he went. I knew I hadn't seen him around."
"Last thing I heard he was in Hokkaido." Yusuke leaned on the back of the sofa watching.
"Have you ever been to Hokkaido? We can tell Fuuto to bring back gifts if you want." Ukyo smiled as Kimika waled up to him.
"Can he bring back a stuffy?" She asked him.
"I'm sure he can" he smiled.
Masaomi smiled as he explained, "Fuuto is our little rock star brother. All his fans know him by a different last name though. Can you believe he is this famous at 15?"
"Dauji and Nenji are famous too!" Kimi exclaimed before Akemi or Emma could explain that they understood.
Akemi asked for the remote as a slight wave of nauseas hit her. She shook her head to get it to pass. She searched for the live report on their siblings concert the night before.
"We completely understand having famous younger siblings. Dauji is the one with the sides faded and long top hair style and the black studs in his ears while Nenji has the shaggy hair style and a single dangle earing, oh and they are the twins of a set of triplets too." Akemi explained to the others.
"Wait, wait, wait. You mean to tell me that a few of our new family members are Abyss Gen." Yusuke asked in shock
When Akemi nodded the nausea drastically increased in intensity. She realized she left her medicine in her room not thinking that she would need it. She pinched her nose to try and relieve it enough to be able to get to her room without alarming anyone.
"Is everything alright Akemi?" Masaomi asked, looking concerned.
"Just need to grab something from my room." She smiled tryingly at him as she stood up.
Just as she got to the stairs, she nearly fell to her knees due to waves of dizziness. Before any of the brothers could get to her she was caught by a redhead that had ink up and down his arms.
"Woh there Aky." He spoke catching her.
"Riku when did you get here?" She asked as he looked around the room watching as a few of the new brothers were rushing over.
"Just before you decided to take a face plant in the new home." He explained as he lifted her up.
"I just need the room to stop spinning." She spoke as Masaomi got to her.
"You're burning up Akemi." He spoke as he felt her head.
"Aky, I told you not to over due it." Riku sighed looking at the others.
"Can I get directions to her room. I'm not sure if she explained it yet or not but she has a weaken immune system and I'm sure she over did it the last couple of days to cause this."
"She hadn't gotten to that yet, but now that I know we all will be able to catch the signs before anything happens. I'm Masaomi, and I'm a doctor." Masaomi waked up with Riku.
"I'm Riku and I own a tattoo shop. Which I told her I could reschedule my appointments today to this weekend to help finish up Mio's room this morning." He explained.
"And I told you I would be fine." Akemi spoke with her eyes squeezed shut.
Soon after Masaomi, Riku, and Ukyo made sure that Akemi was resting and that someone will be up to help Kimi get to school the next morning. They joined the rest and that's when Riku noticed that Kouji was not there. Pulling out his phone while Kimi and Wataru began chatting about the weekend and Emma had headed up to do some homework.
"Hello?" Kouji's voice came over the phone.
"Where are you kid?" Riku asked.
"I just walked up to the front of the house." Riku heard his brother sigh.
"I was calling as Emma was home and I didn't see you home."
"The club went longer then expected..." Riku heard the younger boy hesitate some.
"Ok well dinner should be ready soon. I'll see you in a few minutes."
Riku leaned against the banister waiting for one of his younger brothers to appear. He knew there was more to the story then the club running late. Up until this year the triplets attended a different school that had a specialty in fine arts. After Kouji having been taken to the hospital due to being bullied by a group of boys. They spoke to the principle of the school who had a meeting with the other boys families. Everything was done to the letter, but Kouji was continuously being harassed and bullied. Mainly because he didn't fight back and would shrug of the comments made.
"Wataru, do you mind taking Kimi to play in your room or hers for me?" He asked wanting to make sure that the littles didn't see anything if Kouji had a bruise or busted lip.
"Yes! She can see my bunny collection." Wataru jumped up holding his hand out and Kimi taking it.
