Chapter 1 - Beginning of Change

My name is Naomi Fujikawa. I am 16 years old and a new Senior in high school. I was born an only child and I live with my father, Masato Fujikawa. He currently travels to many places due to being a famous photographer. Whenever I have vacation from school or when it is a holiday, he would always take the time to come back to Japan and spend some time with me.

When he's not around, I usually communicate with my friend from high school, Yuki Kougami. She doesn't go to school anymore since she graduated last year. She is currently studying abroad in the United States and she's always there for me whenever I would like to call her.

Life was pretty good. I was doing well in high school and I learned how to take better care of myself. That was when I didn't know that my life will change forever.

My phone rang as I sat at my desk and studied for a test I was going to have tomorrow. I walked to my bedstand and looked at the caller ID.

"Dad?", I questioned as I answered, "Hey, Dad."

"Hello, sweetie, are you doing alright?"

"Yeah, I am. I was just studying for a big test I am going to have tomorrow."

"Well, that's good. Just be sure not to stay up late."

"Don't worry I won't. What's up? Did you want to talk about something?"

His voice sounded happy, "Umm well, do you remember the woman I told you about?"

"You mean Ms. Miwa Asahina?"

"Yeah."

Miwa Asahina....I remember meeting her once when my dad came back to Japan during my winter vacation. He happened to bring her along since she came back to meet her sons as well.

She had 13 sons. 13!!!!

Once I met her I was pretty shocked, but she smiled as if it was not a big deal. She truly made a crazy first impression.When we hung out together, I learned that she was a traveler as well and she is a very sweet person. She even offered to take me shopping while Dad decided to wait for us.

"What happened? Is everything okay?", I continued the conversation.

"Well, actually. I asked her to marry me."

I lost myself, "OH MY GOSH!!! NO WAY!!!!! OH MY GOSH!!!" I jumped up and down that I didn't notice that I was making my desk shake, causing my pencils that I had in a cup fall down.

I ignored that and asked, "What did she say?! Did she say yes?!"

Dad smiled from his phone, "She said yes!"

"Oh wow! Oh my gosh! I am so happy for you! So so happy!!!", I yelled with a smile.

"Thank you thank you..."

"So...does that mean—", I started to calm down.

Dad nodded, "Yes. I will be going back to Japan with her so we can have our wedding there."

"That's great! I'm so excited!"

"But...I'm sorry but I won't be able to help you move into their house, where her sons live. Will you be able to take care of everything yourself?"

I smiled, "Of course, Dad. You don't have to worry about me. I'll take care of everything."

"I'm sorry.."

"You don't have to apologize. Just cherish the time you have with her right now and focus on your wedding."

"Okay then. I will send you the address by text. I love you..."

"I love you...take care..."

"You too. Don't stay up late."

I laughed, "I won't. Bye."

"Bye."I hung up then realized something. I dropped my mouth, "I....WAIT WHAT?!"

I picked up my phone and tried to contact my Dad.

He answered, "Naomi?"

"I HAVE TO MOVE INTO THE PLACE WHERE HER SONS LIVE?!!!!!"

I exhaled as I rode the train towards my new home. I already made the arrangement that all my stuff would be transported to my new address while I was at school.

I looked out at the window as I held on while I stood.

Am I ready for this change? Meeting 13 new brothers off the bat is just a bit crazy....I'm so nervous! I don't think I can handle this...

But...this is for my Dad..

Ever since Mom left, he has acted so lonely. But, whenever, I am with him, I make him smile. I just want him to smile more. Not just when I'm with him. I want him to continue loving this happiness of his.

Even if this means, living with new people.

I shook my head.

I can't be discouraged. I bet they will be nice people just like Ms. Asahina. They have to be.\

I closed my eyes, trying to calm myself down.

Ugh...I'm just thinking too much.

I walked along the street with my hands holding onto my backpack straps, There was a nice breeze that helped calm my nerves.

I looked up at the sky as it was in a beautiful sky blue.

I kept looking forward and decided to take out my phone that had the GPS that had the new address on. "I'm heading the right way..", I muttered.

I kept on walking until I found a tall figure and a small figure, including the moving truck.

"Wow, right on time..", I spoke quietly as I walked towards the tall figure and the small figure. "U-Umm...excuse me?"

"Hm?", the tall figure turned around and smiled, "Hello, you must be our new sister. Your stuff was just moved in already. My name is Masaomi. I'm the eldest son of the bunch."

The small figure stood in front of me and waved his hand, "And my name is Wataru! I'm the youngest! Nice to meet you!!"

"N-Nice to meet you both. P-Please take care of me..", I blushed slightly as I bowed to show respect.

Masaomi smiled, "Please take care of us as well."

I smiled back.

"Well now, I'll show you where your room is."

"Thank you."

Wataru went ahead and skipped inside the house as Masaomi lead me inside.

Masaomi opened the door and allowed me to walk in first.

I looked around, "Wow...this room was bigger than my previous one," I spoke.

"Glad you like it. Now, I'm going to let you do whatever you like. You can fix your stuff, relax, or you can explore the house. My other brothers are around too. So, you are free to introduce yourself as well."

"Okay. Thank you."

"No problem. I just want you to feel comfortable."

I smiled, "Thank you for your concern."

He sent me another smile before closing the door.

I turned around and noticed I had a balcony. "Sweet!", I said happily as I opened the door and walked out. "Wow..."

My new life is really going to begin soon..I was so nervous...but at least I know 2 of the brothers are friendly people...
