Red Strings// Naruto Shippuden Sasori Fanfiction (On Hold)

Reasons

*Chapter 4*

"How?" The question just slipped out of my mouth. I wasn't dreaming, am I? My Mother just called me by my name. I mentally shook myself and lowered my voice, "I don't know who you're talking about."

My Mother laughed as I backed away from her. "Don't be silly. A mother will recognize her own children. Even Kyoya recognize you." The twins and I looked down at the little boy who is now holding onto his big brother's hand. "Kivi nee-chan." Kyoya called out and gave me an innocent look. I shifted my gaze to Kanata who just looked at me like he was trying to see through my mask. "If you're really our onee-chan, don't be a coward and show yourself."

Somehow, that line made Hikaru angry. "Oi! Don't speak to Kivi nee-sama like that!" He shouted and Hikari shook her head. "Baka nii." She simply commented which made Hikaru turned to look at her. "Huh? What did I do?" Hikari just shook her head again in response.

"So you really are Kivi!" Mother exclaimed and Hikaru made a face when he realized what he just did. I felt a small smile on my face before bringing my hand up to my mask and slowly removed it. "How do you do, Mother?"

Somehow, the twins and I ended up in the main hall of my old home. The twins and I sat together at one side and my siblings sat together at the other. Mother had went to the kitchen to get some tea so right now, we're having an awkward staring competition.

Hikaru cleared his throat and leaned towards me. "Kivi nee-sama, I'm sorry about just now." I gave him a genuine smile that always makes him blush. To be honest, I'm thankful that his straight forwardness helped me revealed myself. "It's okay, Hikaru. Don't worry about it."

"Kivi nee-chan," Kyoya spoke. "Is a really nice person." Hearing that, I rewarded my little brother a smile. "May I touch you, Kyoya?" I reached my arms out to him. Kyoya smiled before getting off Kanata's lap and walked towards me. He stopped in front of me and gently, I felt the softness of his hair before touching his cheeks. Kyoya just smiled at me before looking straight at my right eye. He placed a hand on it and frowned. "Kivi nee-chan, what happened to this eye?" I just smiled at him, "It's nothing, Kyoya."

"What the hell is going on here?!" The all too familiar loud voice shook the room and all of us turned to the source of the voice. Father. I stood up and turned to him. "How do you do, Father?" I greeted with a bow. Hikaru and Hikari scattered to their feet and bowed as well. "Welcome back, Father." Kanata and Kyoya said in unison. Father didn't say anything as I felt his glare. "You're back." Father growled. I stand straight and looked at him in the eyes. "Yes, Father."

"The nerve." He muttered before he sat beside Kanata. Hikaru and Hikari looked at each other but I just signaled to them that everything is fine. All of us sat back down but this time, Kyoya chose to sat on my lap.

Father had aged after so many years but he has aged in a good way, he still looked strong and solid like a mountain. "You got the nerve to show your face again after disappearing for so long." Father spoke in his superior voice that made the twins cowered but I stood my ground.

"Yes, Father. I apologize but I don't regret my decision." I stated.

"Hmph! And who are this two?" Father pointed at the twins behind me with his chin.

"I saved them from the Wind Village. This is Hikaru," I gestured with my right hand. "And this is Hikari." I gestured with my left.

"The Wind Village...The one that Sasori burned to the ground with his puppets." It wasn't a question but that statement made Kivi's eyes widened and the twins were speechless.
