"H-Huh? Dell-san, who did you say is coming?"

Haku stood in front of her brother with a confused look. He'd said something about someone actually coming to stay with them for awhile, but...who did he say was their name?

Taking in a deep breath, Dell rubbed his aching forehead with impatience. He needed to go out and buy cigarettes. Now.

"We're having 'family' over, that's what I'll say, Haku."

"But...We don't have any family..." She looked even more confused.

They were the only family each other had, weren't they? Haku and Dell were the only Voyakiloids she knew about...Was it like those movies? A long lost sibling? Or relative?

"Well, we do, and he's coming here." Dell sounded more and more annoyed, heading for the door to leave.

He was stopped almost immediately.

"B-But how? What's his name? How's he related to us? Dell-san, please tell me!"

She couldn't tell if she was excited at the idea of a new family member, or a bit scared. What if he didn't like her? Or what if Dell liked him more than her? How long was he staying?

Her head was spinning with all these questions. Was someone staying with them really such a big deal?

Well, to her it was...No one had ever set foot in their house.

"Calm down, Haku! Ugh...He'll be here in a few days, alright? And you'll get to know him then, so can I please go out and buy my cigarettes now?"

Haku stepped forward to stop him again, but he bolted out the door as fast as his legs would take him and didn't look back.

Darn it, Haku thought. He got away...

--

The next few days felt like a blur to Haku. All she could think about was this mystery family member. All she knew was that he was a male. No name, no appearance...

What was he like, she wondered.

Did he look like they did? Was he a bad singer too? He'd have to be if he was a Voyakiloid...Did he play instruments like they did? She half hoped he didn't, because she liked it just being Dell and her.

Dell...Another guy in the house would mean Dell would finally have someone to bond with. What if he didn't do anything with Haku anymore?

That didn't mean she wanted Dell to hate the guy, though...

A knock came at the front door.

This was it, he was here.

Swinging feet first off the bed, Haku took a long, drawn out breath before heading out of her room. She wasn't going to let this guy take over the peace in the house!

It'd stay the same whether he liked it or not! Yeah!

...Unless, of course, he was a few feet taller and a few pounds stronger...

--

Dell was already at the door when Haku appeared. He was giving her a look. It looked like a face of...caution?

She gave him a strange look back, but once he opened the door, she realized just why he'd done it.

Outside stood a tall male, looking sheepishly at the ground while shuffling his feet. He was as tall as Haku, with silver hair and red eyes just like her and her brother.

His hair had a small curl on top, like Dell, but his ponytail was shorter and tied off with a ribbon like Haku's instead of the bands that Dell often used.

He wore a long sleeved black jacket and long black pants with a purple stripe going down them on either side, and white shoes with purple along the bottoms, that hadn't changed at all.

Haku couldn't help but stare.

It was like he was a mash-up of herself and Dell, and to be honest, it creeped her out a bit.

The tall boy looked at them nervously, still shuffling and fidgeting. He seemed almost as creeped out by the similarities as Haku was.

Standing between them, Dell held his arm out towards the tall man and looked at Haku. What he said next gave Haku a brand new picture of what was to happen.

"Haku, this is...Uh...Hakuo..."
