As promised Shinichiro took Manjiro and Keisuke out for dorayaki and ice cream sundaes if they promised to not tell Gramps about the box. So for now he made a couple copies and kept one in his pocket just in case. 

They were headed towards a popular strip mall center. It contained an arcade, couple eateries, and a small bakery. Manjiro was already complaining abut his feet even though the hadn't been ten minutes. He rubbed his forehead and held the two hands.

"We're here so stop whinin."

"We are? Yay!"

As always he ran and smooshed his face against the display glass admiring the desserts for sale. Shinichiro let the two boys  order what they wanted and he paid at the till. They sat a table further back next to the window and stuffed their faces. He discreetly looked around at the other patrons not really paying any attention.

It was popular for dates so the large amount of couples here reminded Shinichiro of his failed love life to get a gf. Woe is me. He unfolded his copy of the photo and stared at the front and back of it. 

"Hey Izana, you should get something too! They're really good!"

"Its fine Zumi, you don't have too."

"Kachan! Make him get something!"

"Why me? Fine."

A tall scarred boy sighed in resignation. Standing next to him was a shorter tanned boy with an undercut on his white hair. They stood in front of the case trying to pick something for him. Another one that looked eerily similar except he was the shortest of the three had filled up a tray with various types of taiyakis. Twins perhaps?

Shinichiro couldn't take his eyes off when he saw them talking and pointing. He heard three names and two seemed to register something in his brain. His eyes widened and he looked down at the photo in his hands. That wasn't proof they were said babies. They just happened to have the general features as them. 

He did feel hope however because their names were the same on the back. But approaching the boys and straight up asking would be creeper behavior. Subtle! Be subtle Shinichiro! If it wasn't them then fine. They would go their separate ways.

Manjiro was almost finished and Keisuke played with his game boy. He slowly went up to them and crouched down smiling unassumingly. The taller tanned albino turned to him with suspicion.

"Hi there, my name's Shinichiro. What's yours?"

"..."

"Brother? Who is that?"

An adorable boy that resembled Izana walked over. His eyes were amber and hair longer. A gut feeling said they were the babies in the picture. Obviously older but he was sure it was them.

"Nice to meet you! My name is Shinichiro and whats your name?"

"Izumi!"

The boy next to him piped up eagerly. Izumi wanted to help others and he mentally patted himself on the back for answering his question. 

"This is kinda awkward but I think we're related."

"what."

And so Shinichiro took the albinos to a place that did DNA testing and sent in samples and now they wait. But not you because Imma do a timeskip.

2 Weeks Later-

Shinichiro parked his motorcycle outside and went in to collect the papers. Apparently they finished testing them and called him earlier to come get them. Of course Manjiro couldn't keep his mouth shut and blurted to Emma and Gramps. He was happy to have more grandkids and Emma was interested in having another brother. 

So he rode back to take Manjiro and Emma with him to the address Izana gave him. He expected an apartment block or a traditional property at most, not an entire penthouse.

The fancy lobby had the Sano siblings in awe. Marbled floors and exquisite wooden desks. Large plants grew at the entrance and large windows allowed the sun to light up the floor. Keeping a firm grip on their shoulders he led them towards the front desk.

The receptionist, Mikoto questioned the newcomers but instructed them to the twins' floor. A security guard would accompany them since they carried key cards to access the elevators and other stuff.

He walked down the hall and knocked a few times. Today it was Izumi who opened the door. He remembered him from their encounter. Izana was heard scolding him inside as he walked up.

"You can't open the door without checking Izumi! It could be a kidnapper!"

"Okay, I'm sorry Izana."

Izumi led Shinichiro, Manjiro, and Emma to the sectional couch to get them situated. The blondes sort of stared at the twins occasionally as Shinichiro took out the papers. Emma and Manjiro got the gist of what was going on so they tagged along as well.

"This is the paper that says if we're related or not. You guys ready?"

"Yeah."

The children collectively replied. Shinichiro looked at the on top which was just an explanation of how it worked. He took a deep breath as his heart raced. The one underneath would say. Shinichiro took the plunge and read it, stopping at the little bars and the percentages.

DNA MATCH - 76.9% 

It said that they shared a father but different mothers. He let it sink in that he had two more little brothers fathered by the same man that made them. He didn't know what happened to their moms though. Emma had been dropped off by a foreign woman and never reappeared.

"Well. Looks like we're all related."

"Me and Emma have more brothers?"

He nodded. All five sat there trying to understand their newfound situation. Izana and Izumi were the babies from that photo and his half siblings. They were in a similar situation with Emma who had been abandoned by her mom to live with Gramps. 

Emma didn't mind having more brothers. They looked cute in her eyes and she was happy to have more people to play with. To sweeten the revelation she walked over and hugged both boys.

Manjiro was more skeptical than his sister and older brother. So they were "related" now because a paper said so?! But, he would make an effort to interact with the albinos and see what they were like. And he wasn't the only one. Izana had a neutral expression after hearing Shinichiro. At least he's not the only one.

Shinichiro clapped his hands and announced a celebration.

"Lets go to the beach!"

I can tell that no one reads these. I was hoping at least one person who drop in their thoughts and opinion on Kakucho to move in or not. So, I'll stop typing these at the end of each chapter.
