Hi! I would like to introduce this story about Brothers Conflict. The names here that Ema will call is not in Japanese suffixes, since I always get confused in what suffix I'll towards people who'll call each other's. Please enjoy the story!

Prologue

Ema's Point Of View

I'm adopted. Was I really unwanted by my family?

That thought kept haunting me for hours. As soon as I saw that I was only adopted, my heart was shattered in to pieces.

And now, I just realized that I was the one caused all of my brothers in conflict. It's all because of me, now that I have realized this, I'm not confident anymore in going home.

*beep* *beep* *beep*

My phone was ringing. I see to it that Ukyo was calling me. But, I can't bring myself in answering it. They were all in conflict because of me.

I rejected the call and power off my phone. Tears were already flowing.

I want to be alone. But, I don't know where I can stay for a while.

"Why are you here?" a voice said.

I looked up to see a man with short blond hair and hazel eyes with earrings in his left ear. He was wearing a ceremonial Japanese robe, just like Kaname's but his robes were red.

"W-Who are you?" I asked my voice slightly shaking.

"I was just passing by like any other person would in this park." He said.

"Oh…" I said.

"I am Ryuusei. And you are…?" he stated.

"Oh, I am Ema." I said.

He then quietly thought about something.

"By any chance… Do you know Kaname Asahina?" he asked.

My eyes grew wide.

"H-How do you know him?" I asked.

"I am one of his co-workers. He kept bragging about his 'cute adorable sister'." He said.

I then blushed. Kaname said that?

"So? Do you know him?" Ryuusei asked.

"Yes. I am his sister." I said.

"And why are you sad?" he asked.

"I can't tell you." I said looking away.

"And why you wouldn't?" he asked.

"I think you would tell Kaname about this." I said looking down.

"I'll tell him if you don't tell me since he will be more worried than ever." He said.

"D-Don't." I said.

"Then tell me." He said.

"I-I can't." I said.

"Then, go home." He said.

"I don't want. I don't have the courage to go home." I said.

My legs were trembling to resist crying. I think he noticed this because he hugged me, I cried, and I think I also blushed.

Ukyo's Point Of View
As I was drinking tea, I got worried about Ema who still hasn't come back from school. Yuusuke said that Ema go ahead since she has to get her family registry.

When I asked the others excluding Natsume. They didn't saw her either.

Our only hope was Natsume who for we only know maybe was giving Ema a zombie game.

[Hello? What is it Ukyo?]

"Natsume? Have you seen Ema?"

[No. Why?]

I broke a cold sweat in nervousness.

"She still hasn't come back yet. And no saw her…"

[What? How could that be? For all I know, she should say it to at least you if she's coming late.]

"I know. But, she still hasn't come back, and she even rejected my calls. Maybe she's harmed… I'm worried…"

[Don't say that… But… That's kind of strange…]

"Yeah. And it's already 9:00; she still hasn't come back…"

[I'll go look for her here…]

"Sure. Thanks."

*beep*

I ended my call. I came out of my room and to the kitchen. There, I saw Masaomi, Kaname, Tsubaki, Azusa, Louis, Subaru, Iori, Yuusuke, and Wataru. Even Ema's squirrel was there.

"Why are you guys still awake?" I asked.

"We're worried about onii-chan!" Wataru said.

"I know you're all worried but we all need to rest." I said.

"But—" he said being cut off.

"I'm home!" Hikaru proclaimed.

When he came to the kitchen, he saw our expressions.

"Eh? What's wrong?" Hikaru asked.

"Onii-chan is missing!" Wataru exclaimed.

"Calm down Wataru…" Masaomi said.

"Wah!" Wataru cried.

"Wait… Ema is missing?" Hikaru said completely amused.

"Yeah. And we don't know why." Yuusuke said.

"Hmm…? Interesting…" Hikaru said while smiling.

"What the!? Ema is already missing and you're still teasing us!?" Yuusuke said obviously irritated.

Hikaru chuckled and I was surprised what he said…

"I guess she already know it by now." He said.

We all looked at him suspiciously.

"What did she knew?" Kaname asked.

"Oh…? Nothing…" Hikaru said while smiling teasingly.

"Oh say it already!" Yuusuke said.

He chuckled and just go.

"Goodnight guys." He said.

We were still eyeing him.

What could possibly had Ema not to come back that we don't know but he knows?

Natsume's Point Of View
Maybe she's harmed… I'm worried…

She's not harmed… right? I was really deep in my thoughts. What if she's really harmed? I can't take it. I need to find her.

While I was calling her cell, I bumped in to a guy.

"… Sorry." I said.

The guy nodded and goes. I examined his appearance. He has blonde hair and hazel eyes, he was also wearing a red ceremonial Japanese robe. He looks familiar.

I then came back from my senses and tried to find Ema again.

(N/A: This Point Of View is before Ema and Ryuusei met.)

Ema's Point Of View
I was still crying in Ryuusei's arms.

"You really need to go home. It's past 10." He said.

"I can't. I'm unwanted." I said.

"What did you said? Kaname has been bragging you every day." He said.

"I know." I said.

"Then come home." He said.

I shook my head.

"Ugh. You're so stubborn. Then, where will you stay?" he said.

"I'll just use my only money to rent something." I said.

"Tsk. How about you stay at my place…?" He said.

I looked up at him and looked at him surprised.

"Are you sure?" I asked.

"Sure. Just think of it as an offer from your brother's friend." He said.

"T-Thanks…" I said.

"No problem." He said.

And that's how I started… Living with him.
