A/N: Hello this is my first Brothers Conflict fanfic. I will be making use of events from the anime and what I know so far from translations of the light novels and games. This will be told from Ayaka's point of view. I'll do my best to get as much interaction with each brother as possible.
May 22nd; today is an important day for me. I am moving into a new district. Two weeks ago, my Papa told me that he was getting married. Then I met the woman who will be my new mother the famous designer Asahina Miwa. She is a nice lady and she has 13 sons. While it was surprising at first I am really happy. It has always been me and Papa since my mother passed away when I was a baby so the fact that my family was going to get bigger was wonderful. After some debating it was decided that I move to the Sunrise Residence to live with my new brothers.
"Aya, you have to be careful around those wolves. There's a total of 13."
I looked down to my pet squirrel and guardian Juli who was looking around from my school bag. He has been against this new arrangement and never stopped complaining about it.
"Honestly, what is Rintarou and your new mother thinking? Sending you to live in a house full of men while they're living separately."
"Papa and Miwa-san are busy with work and they're newlyweds so I did not want to bother them. Besides they would never send me to live in a dangerous place." I said as the train arrived at our stop
"Sending you to live with wolves is already dangerous!" Juli retorted as I unzipped the bag allowing him to climb up my arm and perch on my shoulder whilst I get the map for directions to our new home.
"Juli you keep saying it's dangerous but the people we'll be living with are going to be my siblings. Besides I would have met them eventually at the wedding."
"Even if they're your future siblings it doesn't change the fact that they're wolves. However as long as I am here, I won't let them lay a hand on you."
Even though he tends to exaggerate and is a bit overprotective, Juli always means well and that is why I love him. He has watched over me from when I was a baby to the present day. I looked around the new district I'll be living in from now on; there are various shops and a café. I smiled as we came onto a street where bubbles were floating in the air thanks to a bubble machine. We soon came into a neighborhood where the apartments had a luxurious feeling.
I took one final look at the map and I was reassured "We're almost there."
"Yes, we're almost close to the battlefield."
"It's not the battlefield. It's our new house."
I'm a little nervous but I'm excited to meet my new brothers. I always wondered what life would be like if I had older and younger siblings; playing together, going on outings, helping each other with homework and chores and the occasional squabbling. It seems I got my wish. From now on, I will be experiencing a lot of new things.
I saw the same moving van I registered all my belongings to next to an entrance.
"We're here." I decided to run. The moving van already left by the time I got there. "Excuse me!" I managed to get the attention of two people; a tall man with dark brown hair and a little boy with light salmon hair.
"Hello" The man greeted me "I already had your things delivered to your room."
"I see. My name is Hinata Ayaka."
"I'm the eldest brother Masaomi. I'm a pediatrician." So he is the eldest, though he looks very young. He placed his hand on the young boy "This is the youngest Wataru."
"Hello big sister."
I nodded in return "Hello." It felt nice to be call 'big sister'. Then I bowed "I'm looking forward to living with you."
"Likewise, we're glad to have you."
"Looking at these two, they seem harmless." Juli said. I'm glad he thinks so, maybe he will feel more at ease now and not attempt to attack anyone.
I was led to my new room, true to Masaomi-san words' all my belongings were present and ready to be unpacked. I pulled out a bag of almonds for Juli to snack on as I looked around. This is a nice room; the bed feels comfy, it has a TV so I can play games, a library for my books and a desk with a lamp which was perfect for doing my homework and studying in general. I know that I should starting unpacking immediately but I wanted to look around the house. I left my school bag on the bed and let Juli enjoy his snacks.
I went downstairs; the first place I wanted to see was the kitchen since cooking is one of my hobbies. Just as I thought it was amazing.
I will be cooking for a lot of people from now on. I have to do my best.
Then I came to the main room. It was bright since the curtains were opened. I sat down in the middle of the couch and gazed at the large flat screen TV.
"This is really different compared to the one in my old apartment." I relaxed my posture making myself more comfortable "I think I am really going to like it here."
"I found you~. My litter sister" I heard a voice and turned to see a slim tall young man with messy platinum hair that covered part of his face but revealed his purple eye.
Ah one of my new brothers. I immediately got up and went over to properly greet him "Hello, my name is Ayaka."
The man then walked up to me and pulled me into a hug
"It's a 'Nice to meet you' hug~" He whispered into my ear. I was taken back; I did not expect to get hugged upon arriving but it does not bother me. Just then another man came up and smacked the latter on the head sending him to the floor. He looked identical to the platinum haired man the only differences being his dark hair and he wore glasses. Then I Juli had landed on my shoulder, he must have come looking for me though I did not mean to leave him alone.
"I'm sorry about Tsubaki. I'm Azusa, nice to meet you."
"That hurt Azusa." Tsubaki-san groaned as he rubbed his head then put his arm around his brother "Don't we look identical?"
"We're identical twins." Azusa-san replied which made sense as they share the same facial structure and beauty mark under the left and right eye respectively.
"You two are too loud." A voice spoke up. It belonged to a tall man with neatly arranged blond hair and blue eyes wearing glasses, a red dress shirt, black waistcoat and pants. He was pushing a tea tray filled with tea and coffee "It's nice to meet you. I'm Ukyo, I work as a lawyer."
"I'm Ayaka."
Juli scampered down my shoulder to my feet taking a defensive stance "More and more of these high specs appear one after another! Stay away from Aya!" Juli yelled though those present will only hear angry squeaks
"Anyway please take care of me."
"Yes please do~" Tsubaki-san pulled me into another hug making Juli hiss in anger
"Tsuba-nii! What are you doing in the living room?" I heard a familiar voice and looked up; it was someone I was actually familiar with
"Oh Yusuke welcome back~" Tsubaki-san replied
"Don't 'welcome back' me! Bringing a girl into the living room is-"He paused as he looked at me and immediately rushed downstairs "You!"
"H-Hello Asahina-kun." I nervously spoke since he was very close to me
"Why?!" he asked
"I said that I was moving into my new house today"
"T-Then that means…Y-You're my"
"Tsubaki, I'm sure I told you to inform Yusuke about this." Ukyo-san said but Tsubaki-san turned away with a mischievous grin on his face and a slight giggle.
"Tsuba-nii, you didn't tell me on purpose!"
"On purpose? You make me sound like a bad person." Tsubaki-san replied casually showing he was the culprit
Yusuke-kun glared at his older brother then shifted his gaze at me "I won't accept this." He said and walked away "My classmate can't be my sister."
"Hey, why are you saying that you won't accept it?" Tsubaki-san asked following Yusuke-kun
"Shut up! It doesn't involve you!"
When the name Asahina came up my classmate Asahina Yusuke-kun came to mind. He became my classmate this year, we were in different classes when we were first-years and I met him a few times. I thought it was a coincidence but it turned out to be true, my classmate is going to be my brother. But maybe he sees this arrangement as an inconvenience...
"Aya, are you all right?" Juli asked having climbed back on to my shoulder
"Ah I'm all right thanks." I patted Juli, I did not want to worry him. It is my first day in the new house after all so I cannot let myself be discouraged.
"Hello" I turned around to see two more boys, one had slate colored hair and the other was taller and had short messy dark grayish hair.
"It's nice to meet you my name is Iori. I'm the tenth son and a 3rd year high school student." He stretched his hand and I shook it in reply
"Yes nice to meet you too. My name is Ayaka." I recognized the uniform he was wearing "You attend Bright Centrair?"
"Yes"
Bright Centrair is a private prestigious catholic school known to host a lot of lectures and prepare students for university. I heard that the entrance exams are tough and you have to be a genius to get in.
"This is the ninth son Subaru-niisan, he attends Meiji University."
"It's nice to meet you." I bowed "Actually I heard a bit about you. You play basketball and you're pretty good at it."
"Yeah…" he muttered and looked away. Maybe Subaru-san is a shy person
"So we finally meet little sister" I looked to see another man descending the staircase. He had blonde hair like Ukyo-san but his was a darker shade and he had gold eyes. He was dressed in purple and black Buddhist Monk garb and carried silver prayer beads in his hand. He is really handsome.
"That's the third son Kaname-niisan." Iori-san told me "He's a monk."
To be honest he gives off a different air for a monk, also his head is not shaven. He took my hand in his.
"If you ever want to hear some prayers feel free to come see big brother." He said and then he kissed my hand. I do not remember monks greeting people like this. I only seen this kind of thing happen in anime, movies and some of the video games I played.
"Oi Kana-nii!" I heard Yusuke-kun shout angrily
Juli ran down my arm as Kaname-san lifted his lips off my hand "Ah Juli-"before I can even finish my sentence, Juli scratched Kaname-san making him recoil in slight pain as he released my hand and held his nose "I'm sorry! Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm fine." He showed me a smile to assure me.
So much for Juli not attacking anyone.
Eventually Masaomi-san and Wataru-chan joined us and we all sat down on the sofa as Ukyo-san served tea. Normally I do not hate crowds but being surrounded by so many new people I just met is making me feel anxious. I pulled my sleeves down to keep my composure.
"Is it cold?" Masaomi-san asked with concern
I shook my head "I'm fine."
"Actually it feels stuffy doesn't it? Since there are so many people here." Kaname-san spoke as if he had read my mind.
"I'm sorry about Juli scratching you. He's wary of strangers."
"It's fine. Since he is my cute little sister's pet, I have to dote on him as well."
Unfortunately Kaname-san would not be able to do that as Juli yelled at him. While he can hear angry squeaks I heard 'Don't touch me or Aya with those dirty hands!'
"Hey Juli, behave yourself." I warned him. I took him in my hands and held him down on my lap so he would not attack anyone
"Still to think there would be so many wolves…" he muttered
"Were you surprised?" Iori-san asked me "That you would get so many siblings?"
"Yes, Miwa-san said that she had sons. Though I didn't expect that there would be so many."
"I'm glad I have a big sister!" Wataru-chan leaned over to me and grabbed my arm "Let's go play in my room! I have a big rabbit toy!"
Masaomi-san pulled him back next to his side "Wataru, let's save that for later."
"Okay…"
"Then after I've settled in, I'll come see it. I like rabbits."
Wataru-chan nodded smiling at me. I always wanted a younger sibling to play with so he is a dream come true "By the way I was told there were thirteen brothers"' I looked on my right and left to take count of those present "But I've only met nine"
"Two of our brothers live outside the residence and the other two are at work." Kaname-san explained then he reach for the TV remote "One of them should be on now." He turned on the television which displayed a huge packed stadium. As he increased the volume, I could hear the screaming of the audience mostly women. The camera then panned onto a male idol singing.
"It's Fu-tan!" Wataru-chan chirped in
Fu-tan or Asakura Fuuto is a popular idol and is a favorite among my classmates. I am not the biggest fan of idols but with how popular they are, it is hard to not at least take notice.
"What a fake smile" I heard Tsubaki-san mumble and Azusa-san quietly chuckled
"A tour?"
"Come to think of it I haven't seen him lately."
"I heard he's in Hokkaido."
"Then let's ask for a Kakinawa eel as a souvenir."
"You all know him that well?" I asked Masaomi-san
"Asakura is just a stage name. His real name is Asahina Fuuto, 14 years old. He's our brother."
Wow! I have another little brother and a popular idol too! So far that is ten brothers that I have met today. It will take time to for me to adjust but living in a new home with so many people will be fun.
