Black Lily

𝟎 𝟚

you had finished eating with your siblings as Ran hugs you at the kotatsu table, your body shakes a little from the contact but soon you calmed down.

you didn't push him away as Rindo joined in, their chins resting on your head as you signed at their heavy weight.

they had grown so much since the last time you've seen them.

"ne imouto, why didn't you visit us during those 4 years?" Ran asks, the guards refused to let me in. "hah, they would always tell us no one would visit us, guess they were lying." Rindo says, you pecked each of their cheeks gently as Ran tries to lift up your bangs that were hiding your right eye but you stood up to clean the dishes.

he knew he made you upset, but it was his instincts. "stupid father, wish I could have tortured him." Ran curses as Rindo takes out a cigarette to smoke and passed his elder brother one.

your father had gotten drunk and carved out your right eye when you were 5, he said he had never seen what the other side of the eye looked like and wanted to see it for himself.

your screams of pain and terror still haunt your elder brothers, they still felt like they've failed you, especially now when they left you alone for 4 years. at least in juvenile school, they had free meals and didn't have to work and pay rent.

why didn't a orphanage accept you? well, the system here is so corrupted, orphans would roam the streets a lot, you were just lucky your colleague from your main job had helped you.

you probably worked hard and had to provide for yourself, Ran and Rindo thought, they failed as elder brothers who couldn't protect their younger sister. this time, let us be the ones who protect you. they thought as you washed the dishes slowly.
—————————————————————
their lavender eyes glimmered in the dark as you squirmed about uncomfortably, although Ran and Rindo each had their own futons, they were cuddling you, sweat ran down your neck due to their body heat.

signing, you sat up straight, their eyes staring at you in amusement but soon stopped as you pulled their legs together and placed your knees between each of their legs.

"alright! alright! we'll stop! jeez, you changed a lot." Rindo says as he returns to his own futon and so did Ran, they didn't want their precious jewels to be hit a second time.

you plopped back onto your futon, satisfied with them.

that night, you dreamt of sleeping on the ground, the surface hard and uncomfortable as you woke up.

apparently the floor wasn't the floor, it was Rindo's body. Ran was staring at you in amusement as Rindo's dark eye bags were visible. "don't give me that look. you were enjoying yourself too much that I couldn't intervene." Ran teases as you got off Rindo's muscular body.

he heaved a sign of relief as he rubbed his aching body where you had squirmed about a lot.

"I don't want to be used as a bed again...." Rindo whispered terrified as you stuck your tongue out at him. it wasn't like you enjoyed it either. you glanced at their long blonde hair, wandering what happened to their dyed hair from before.

"the guards had to shave our hair in juvie." Ran says as you place a hand on your mouth muffling your laughter, you imagined your brothers being bald, damn they'll look bad, Rindo reaches forward to squish your cheeks.

a few weeks later, they cleaned out most of Roppongi, and got themselves enough money to move you 3 to a larger house.

your brothers gave you a room and a nice bed, allowing you to have better sleep, patting your long blonde hair, you braided Ran's newly dyed hair as he watched the television.

"breaking news! another guy has been found dead again! this time his throat was slit......" you ignored the news as Rindo changes the channel.

"there's been quite a few murders lately, hope we don't end up like one of them." Rindo comments as Ran agreed.

well, your brothers have already met the murderer or more like, the murderer was right behind them.

yes, this was your main job, assassinating targets was what you did. in the day, you were an artist, at night you were an assassin, thus, living a double lifestyle.

you've never rejected a request before, but with your brothers here, there might be a few targets on them.

there's always a first for everything, you might have to reject certain offers now which could affect the people who want to hire you.

and maybe....you'll have to kill certain people who are a threat to your brothers' lives. you won't allow them to get caught again.

you finished braiding Ran's hair as he stood up and equipped his baton. Rindo stretched his back, as they wore their newly brought gloves.

"now then, watch over the house, your nii-sans will go beat up some guys again." Ran posed at the door, earning a sign from you as you waved a goodbye to them.

you wandered to your bedroom and started painting, hours later, your phone screen lit up.

Boss: y/n, there's a new job.

he sends you a document of a guy with a picture of him.

he was 32 years old and had been terrorizing citizens in Shibuya. you frowned, although the location is a bit far, but it was 500,000 yen. and the guy was harmless, just kill him in his apartment and it'll be all over.

you really needed this money, and so, you accepted it.

Boss: good luck

you weren't close to him, you've never seen him before apart from your other female colleague, and there was only the two of you working for him.

from what your colleague told you, the boss gets 60% of the profit, but from how low you're making, he must be taking a larger share of money than 60%

you didn't really care, you continued painting and took a afternoon nap before waking up to cook dinner for your brothers.
