Kiseki's POV
Name's Yamamoto Kiseki. Don't ask me why. I'm currently controlling my temper as there were a few BAKAs having another weird conversation in the plane. Yes, I'm on the plane with my whole family: Father, Mother and—
"Hey… there's one thing I still don't understand."
"Nani?"
"Shoot it out, Fried brain."
"That's kind of rude to your younger brother, Kizuna…"
"Why are we taking a plane from China to Japan when it's actually just nearby?"
-4 eccentric siblings of mine.
Facepalms echoed throughout the plane cabin. I could only give out a sigh.
"Have you actually forgotten that we were in Singapore because Father was on a business trip there!"
"Hey hey chillax, no need to go rough on your little brother here…"
"Can you please use the term 'younger' instead? Besides… that sounds so wrong in a way."
"In what way was it wrong?"
Another round of facepalms.
"The bad influences of the Singlish trends…"
"Can I switch places with you? Onee-san." I muttered as I got out of my original plane seat and headed towards my elder sister, Yamamoto Mirai(17). "I've gotten enough of this…"
"Ok ok~ Kizuna, keep your legs in to let Kiseki pass please."
"Gosh. Kibou, I wonder how your brain structure is like through the X-ray? I bet the doctors will be having a hard time figuring how his brain functions."
"How dare you insult me! Just because you're 2 years older than me doesn't mean you can—"
"I think you better keep quiet for now, little brat."
"Oni-chan! Why are you siding with that b-" Yamamoto Kibou (12), got his mouth covered by Yamamoto Kizuna(14), her hands long enough to shut that mouth of his.
"Guys…"
"You shouldn't be disrespecting your elders you know~"
"She's right she's right!"
"Guys." I muttered.
"Eeek! Whadda heck! Oni-chan, help me!"
"I'm going off to the toilet."
"GUYS."
"If you say you're an elder, that means... you're an OLD WOMAN! Where are your white hairs then?"
"U… Urusai! Just because I'm 2 years elder than you…!"
Dear readers, please don't learn from these 2 insanely crazy younger siblings of hers. I hereby apologize if any of you were to be offended by this… bickering pair of siblings. Watch as she blows her top now!
"GUYS!"
Warning: NEVER, EVER insult your siblings. You will regret it one day.
Silence.
More silence.
Passengers started to look towards the source of the voice. By yours truly.
"Seriously… The 4 of you have been quarreling for more than an hour now! And Kizuna! Haven't you been noticing that you're still blocking me from reaching that seat?"
Kizuna's face turned into a sheepish smile. "G-Gomen… Anee-chan~"
"But." Yamamoto Yuutaro(19) suddenly appeared as he get back to his plane seat. "It proves that your voice can beat the 4 of our voices."
"Ahahaa! Nice punch line, Oni-chan!"
"Uh… Oni-san and Kibou… I don't think it's appropriate to joke now…" Mirai stated as she pointed at me, who was emitting dangerous dark aura from within my being. Before I could shout at them, an object came to my sight and calmed myself down.
It was a pink bangle. An extremely plain one. My mother, Yamamoto Katsumi(45) only told me to wear it at all times, even when I'm bathing. She would try to beat me whenever I tried to remove the bangle from my right wrist. I only knew that I've been wearing it for 14 years. She also said that when I was a baby, she would put that thing on me as a necklace. At the age of 7, that bangle's resting on my right wrist, making it it's new 'home'. Whenever I asked my parents about it, they would say it's a lucky charm to prevent me from being harmed. No more.
This is why I want to investigate into this matter even more…
My father, Yamamoto Yasushi (45), works at an industry which involves the need of traveling to other countries and sign contract deals with well-known businessmen. We ended up migrating from country to country and learning different languages as a result. I knew 8 languages, but this is nothing compared to Oni-chan and Onee-chan. Mirai learned 10 languages while Yuutaro mastered 12 languages. Kizuna and Kibou picked up 7 and 5 languages respectively. Other people call our family the 'Polygots'.
"Okay okay~ Gomenasai our dear Ohime-sama~" The 4 of them got up of their seats and bowed down in apology.
"Fine fine… there's no need to be so dramatic…" I let out another sigh as I sat down. Father and Mother seemed to return from the rest room.
"Ara, I see someone's status had upgraded already." Mother!
"Haha… a princess eh? Does this make us King and Queen then?" Father!
"Then we're princes and princesses of this prideful Ohime-sama~" Kibou struck both of his hands in a hail position (which was facing at my direction).
An attendant approached us. "Um excuse me… Can you all please go back to your seats? It's quite dangerous to stand in the plane all the time."
"Sumimasen!" The whole of my family bowed towards the attendant with the exception of me, since I was sitting down when she came.
The rest of the journey was occupied by endless bickering, meal hours and sleeping.
"So this is our new house!"
"Fantastically beautiful!"
"It's a 3-storey building too!"
"And this will be our permanent home too, right Oka-san?"
"Hai~! Cause your dear Sushi papa has retired from his job!"
"But I'll find another job. Maybe a more relaxing one."
Finally, a permanent home. We've been moving houses these few years for Father's work. Because of that, I kept transferring schools, unable to keep long bonds with my friends and classmates. I don't think I'd remember any one of them, especially those from Italy, Germany and France. I only remembered those from Korea, Latin, China and Singapore (we just returned from there). Now that he quitted his job, he decided to return to Japan, where we Yamamoto family should've been staying. This way, I'll never forget my friends again; no need to see the crying faces of everyone at the airport…
"Kiseki, are you okay? Quickly drag your luggage in and see your new room!"
I followed suit and entered our new (and permanent)home. Even though I didn't show any emotions on my face, I was actually happier than anyone else in my family. I stepped on the flight of stairs and stood in front of my room door. No one's bedroom is on the same level as mine since the 2nd floor already had 5 rooms to occupy. There's another reason why I wanted to choose this topest floor for my room.
Opening the smooth wooden door, there lays my bed, closet, study table and the thing I like the most: Window. Just through it you can see the view from outside. Perfect for stargazing at night. As of now, I could only see snowflakes gently hailing from the evening sky. It was a beautiful view that I took out my camera and took a shot of the scenery.
For what purpose? You'll find out later.
After an hour of arranging things from the smallest book to the biggest file and others, Kizuna called me from below: "Anee-chan~? Can you come down now? I got something to show you!"
A few interesting facts about my family: Even though I HATE my siblings when they bicker, they're actually what I call 'The best of the best'. Each of them has a unique personality and is talented in at least an area.

Well, I'll expose mine later. You'll be quite shocked if you know what kind of job I take.
"Ne ne, Kiseki-nee! Wanna see our new studio? It'll be a permanent one too!" Ah Kizuna…
"Hai hai. I'll be coming down (from the 3rd floor)…"
…
"Isn't this amazing? It's even built underground so that you guys won't make so much noise when you wanted to rehearse at night!"
"I know I know! Sushi-po is always the best!"
"Eh? Another nickname for me?"
"What if there's an earthquake or tsunami?"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…"
"DON'T BE SUCH A SADIST ONI-CHAN!"
"Just merely stating the facts…" the said person sighed.
Another talent for Oni-san: Sadist (but says accurate things that are INDEED true)
"It's great to have a studio all to ourselves without disturbing the neighbourhood… Oni-san can practice his various kinds of instruments, Onee-san can practice her pitch while Kizuna can rehearse for dances. The studio was also soundproof, so any audio recordings can be done without fail." I tried to brighten up the atmosphere.
Besides practicing their own stuffs, they also formed a mini group called the 'Symphonious Quartet' online. Oni-san will compose the melody, Onee-san will write the lyrics and sing it out, Kizuna will choreograph the dance and lastly, Kibou will use some kind of IT program and make a digital model's movements be in synch with Kizuna's dance steps. He will then join the music and the singing tracks together to make a Music Video and post online. Apparently, this club had 100 fans subscribing to them. It's not a bad record for a mini online band that has just started this year.
Why I didn't join this particular club again? Job purposes. More will be explained in the next chapter.
By the way, the members of the 'Symphonious Quartet' had their own code names as well.
Yuutaro-nii as Capriccio: Whenever he's learning a new music piece he would sometimes had a random idea of a new melody and would quickly compose it before his inspirations got lost.
Mirai-nee as Rhapsody: 狂想曲 in Chinese. She would be lost in her own world whenever she's singing a song and her emotions tend to get wavered by songs of different genres. She's also extremely creative in writing lyrics and had done quite a few parodies of famous songs online.
Kizuna as Ballade: 叙事曲. Her dance movements express the memories or feelings of a person. She also claims that 'ballade' sounds like 'ballet' which is related to dance.
Kibou as Concerto:协奏曲. Meaning is close to background music (like assisting), as he helps to merge all the works together into a single musical video. He also creates effects to make the video more lively and interesting to attract more fans. He even created a website especially for the band.
Nevertheless, they still put me as the Club President of 'Symphonious Quartet", one thing which I'm grateful of.
"Kiseki-sama, do you wanna be our audience? We've yet to put up a proper performance in front of you!" Kizuna squealed.
"Yeah yeah! Treat it as an apology for making you angry on the plane…" Kibou agreed.
"Good that you know…"The truth is, I had actually forgotten all about it. "Okay then. What song then?"
"Under the Parasol." Mirai answered. "It's kind of a sad song, you may shed tears after that."
"Just don't create a tear fountain and flood the house will do…" stated Yuutaro. Why that nerve of him…!
"All right, just start already! We also want to see, right Sushi Dad?"
"Sou sou."
"Well then… let the concert begin!" Kibou announced as he turned off the lights with a few remaining on, Kizuna moving towards the center with a Pink-laced parasol, Mirai singing while standing a meter away from Yuutaro, who's playing the piano.
…
"Did you see that Sushi Dad? Our children are all geniuses!"
"You all should have become idols already with that kind of talent…"
"Sushi-po! Not again!" Kizuna wailed.
Yuutaro patted Kizuna on the head. "Yeah, we're not that good actually. Besides, we're contented to be famous online."
"Ani-chan's right. Besides, after seeing how Kiseki-sama works, I still prefer this." Woah, Kibou?
"We can just take part time jobs while doing these compositions in our free time. If we really all became stars, aren't my parents going to become lonely?" Mirai-neechan…
"Aww… Our children are the best! How considerate! But I'm not stopping all of you from doing part time jobs! Now that we're back in our original hometown, I'll let you all wander around the city tomorrow! I believe all of you are worn out from the journey…" Sushi Dad's the best father ever!
I had an idea for what to do the next day. "Oh, I think I may want to go to my working location tomorrow. Father, you have the address right?"
"Ah yes! I nearly forgot! Here. I can't believe you're this hardworking!"
Receiving the documents, I returned to my room afterwards to study them.
…
"10.45am… that's quite early… shall set my alarm clock and take the line at…"
With much planning, I soon discussed with my siblings and they decided to meet me after I got accepted into the company. Probably searching for part-time jobs or shopping. Well, I sure hope everything will be smooth and sailing for me tomorrow then!
No. of words for this chapter excluding A/N: 2500.
A/N: In case anyone of you had any concerns about the age, the ones that are stated here will be their actual age NEXT YEAR (in the story). Since it's taking place in late December, I don't see the need to reduce their ages by a year. And, birthdays will be celebrated :D
About the Symphonious Quartet code names... I gave them based on what they're called in Chinese. Google them or whatsoever.
