The Legend of the Empress's Sword

Big Brother

I quickly hid my paper in a drawer and headed for the door. As I opened the door, I tried to be polite and said "Who?" I looked at the hall lit by the morning light, as I saw both my brothers. My eldest brother is thirteen, and his name is Tamuki. While my second brother is nine years old, and his name is Oscar. 

To be honest they give off a bad boy kind of vibe, so I should probably be cautious. "Oh, good we thought that you might be asleep." said my second big brother. This feels like one of those manga's where the girl gets bullied by her siblings. 

"Do you want to come in?" I asked even though I wanted to say something different, I'm too shy to be anything but polite. 

"What's up with you, Oscar already said you were acting strange in the morning. But I was a little doubtful, but now that I see you coming to the door personally, and inviting us in. You sure are acting weird, what do you want" My eldest brother said. 

Then there was a long silence, since I didn't know how to react. "I don't know what you mean, Elder brother." I said, "We'll see how long you can keep up this act. I'm sure it won't be long considering your temper" Said my second eldest brother, as he walked away. But I still didn't have my guard down, my eldest brother was still here. 

"On the contrary to him, would you allow me to enter, and have a cup of tea?" My big brother asked. 

"Of course," I said as I opened the door to my room. With what I can remember, I shouldn't underestimate my big brother. 

"You may sit down while I call for some tea to be prepared" I said leaving the room. I found a maid around the corner and asked her to bring us some tea. I quickly went back to my room, because I felt uneasy leaving my big brother in my room alone.

As I entered the room nothing seemed out of place, and there was my big brother sitting on the sofa. To me this was a little suspicious, someone like him waiting patiently. It would have been less suspicious if he was wandering the room. 

 As I sat down on the sofa my brother began "A little strange, not having a maid in your room at all times" Oh... I see what's happening. Instead of running away like a second big brother, the eldest brother is attacking. 

"I didn't think I would need one, since I was resting," I said cautiously. "Well then I wonder why there are fresh scratch marks on your desk" my big brother said. S**t I forgot that he could have looked around and then sat back down. How am I supposed to respond? What if I ask why he was looking around, no. 

That would only make me look more suspicious. What should I do, have I lost? No, I don't have to panic, calm down, think. "Oh, I got bored a little. So, I just started to draw." I said as I started to remember how I used to draw a lot in my previous life. 

"Oh, I didn't know that you drew," my big brother said, sounding a little bit defeated. "Then would you let me be honored and look at your drawings??" my big brother said, trying to regain his confidence. 

"I'm sorry big brother. I don't have any right now, because I threw them out, for all of them weren't any good. But if you'd like to see it so badly, I can make a quick sketch right now." I said getting back on my high horse. 

"Alright," he said, sitting down on the sofa. "I have a free day today, so I can wait." Soon the maid came with tea, and I asked her if she could deliver lunch for us now. Then I drew some anime, since it was fun to draw back on earth. 

"B-" I started to say as I finished. But as soon as I started to call out big brother, I remembered that a seven-year-old little girl could probably not draw something so extravagant. Of course, my brother heard this little sound, but he knows that sometimes we think we hear something, but we actually don't. 

So, I just acted as if I were drawing. When I looked back at my paper I was definitely right, this is too much for a seven-year-old kid to draw. I secretly opened my drawer, and took out another piece of paper, while putting back the one I just drew. I then drew a simple drawing of a cartoon dog, then called my brother. 

"I guess you can draw quite well for your age." He said leaving my room. It is quite an accomplishment to get a compliment from big brother, so I was kind of surprised. I started to relax after my big brother left the room. 

"Sigh--, that battle with my big brother sure was exhausting" I said as I lay down. "I guess I can be bold if I feel threatened, like talking so rudely to big brother ahh" I did a little scream, though not loud enough for someone to get worried. 

Little did I know that when my big brother left, he stayed by the door.
