Masquerade

Chapter 17: Love Drama (Pt. 4) - The Black and Rose Roses

According to the Kurosaki family members, their eldest grandchildren seem to have a connection to each other...

According to my siblings' friends, I had and was falling in love with someone whom I had not known before, and everyone wondered who he was. Meanwhile, something strange between my siblings had already appeared in the beginning...

According to them, when their parents found out that their younger son, Yukiko, was gay, it took them a long time to accept the truth, although both the Kurosaki family and the Miami country had the very airy thought, of allowing children and grandchildren to love freely who they truly were. While it was difficult for them to understand and had to ask their friends for advice, their grandfather, however, quickly supported his grandson when he learned that he truly loved that man, whom he saved and soon, unexpectedly fell in love while he was just a kid. When he explained that it was difficult for him to accept this too due to be afraid of discrimination that would affect him, understanding his worry and pressure, the grandfather comforted him and helped him understand what he wanted most, especially when the strange feeling in his grandson was gradually forming in his heart.

Meanwhile, Himari and Fuji did not receive that luck. Right from the beginning, their incestuous relationship had not been supported, and worse, forbidden, although they could not deny that both of them had already had a connection like a red thread, as they could not separate each other. Moreover, according to Yukiko, he was jealous of his friends as they and their siblings always played together, he could not talk with them and was isolated from them, forcing him to go outside and play with their friends instead. Despite their age gap, it didn't matter as long as he was no longer lonely. However, it was not until the moment that they returned to their reality, the more they realized the more problems they were having.

The difference was so large that no one, including Yukiko, could explain that strange phenomenon. In recent days, while Yukiko had accepted Yuya as his mascot ( When Sakutaro said he had to return to finish his course at his school in his world, I was standing there, screaming horrifyingly and angrily to find out that he had lied to me for years after realizing his true age and course while studying.), as well as the one he had to take a long time to trust, the same could not happen happily to Himari and Fuji. After learning about their younger brother's happy current lifetime as well as having his dream come true, which both of them admitted that they were jealous of, especially when they found out and knew that they could not catch up with the curriculum that was said to be at the extreme levels, the one that only the ones who had already had extremely high skills and spirit could learn, they knew that they had been disqualified right in the beginning when they learned from Sakutaro that their younger brother, who beforehand, had to be trained in detail in a pressure environment that required more than what they thought before his entrance exam to Royal Academy, the school where everyone, but not all, wanted to learn. Something that both of them had failed right from the beginning. No one knew why they had to give up the precious tickets they had already deserved to the family member they loved most.

Even after Yukiko's departure to the place that he had not dreamed of, both of them could not make up and had a hard time understanding each other. Even when they had time, the arguments would still be the barrier that would prevent them from knowing their opinions and answers to the questions. Now in separate ways, it was no surprise that they had had successful methods for their thoughts. But when it became clear that it wouldn't long in the track, they would fall. One of them had known this and separated himself or her from the crowd, following something else. Everything was not followed as long as the detail of their plan was not determined to their desire. They didn't think about it. Not once or twice, only the luck could help them carry on.

Meanwhile, in their homeland, Miami, the trouble had already gone to the grandchildren suddenly when it was found that the children, or their parents, of the Kurosaki clan, suddenly disappeared without a trace. This circumstance was a catastrophe and the heir must be chosen to take their place. Despite being potential candidates, none of them accepted the offer as they had never thought of it before. They had never expected this would happen. Their parents, true to the rumors, are professional and powerful assassins and politicians, which was seen to be unreasonable with their unexpected disappearance due to their intelligence and skills. After having possessions from his old father due to not having maintenance to continue, their father used multiple methods to improve and develop good achievements for their clan, but with this mysterious phenomenon, there were many aspects to be solved and questioned. Had no choice, fortunately, because there were relatives who were a part of the Kurosaki family, so when they heard the news, their children were chosen to descent the trade of their father, which angered Himari and Fuji, who had to return home after having an allowance to be a long-time absence, and Yukiko, who also returned the same time when he learned from his friends what happened to his family. Unbelief of what their grandfather had done, they intended to stay and have the meeting with their relatives, only to be rejected by their stubborn and impulsive grandfather who did not like being judged by his family members. While discussing, both Fuji and Hilary, one of their cousins, had felt the unusual phenomenon around the walls of the room, so much so that during and after the stressed and unfavorable meeting, they were forced to get out to regain their breath. Unable to find out the cause of the strange feeling, the meeting kept getting pressured and the atmosphere kept getting them exhausted and frustrated, which was more than when they could make a simple decision between their families and generations, only to be worse and worse when the others wanted more than that.

However, the issue was that...

This is not just any clan. The name. Kurosaki. The family has had a long history of connection and achievements as well as strict rules that all of the family members have to obey and one of the most powerful clans that everyone has to respect and calling only the surname can determine the background of that person.

Because of the long history, it was no surprise that Himari, Fuji, and Yukiko along with their cousins were considered to be the last generation of the family. Not because the times have changed or their thought was seen to be too modern compared to the other generation to be too outdated. Rather, in their father's generation, the argument had already occurred, particularly when it was time for their father to continue the family's path, to be the politician, the occupation that was seen to be rich and popular. According to Fumihito, the former head of the Kurosaki family and the children's grandfather, many dark aspects of the family had already and secretly revealed right from the beginning. Yet, during his youth the same age as his son as well as his grandchildren, he was fully aware of the fact that there are some unknown things connected to the other unknown, which even his parents had not told him about. He was also worried about his grandchildren's future when they were found to be orphans which they would unwillingly accept, particularly when their parents were not always around in their childhood.

Learning that being quiet would not work, forced the former head to lead the family again but temporarily to make sure that all members of the family had the right to speak their choices. However, in his mind, neither of them could make a plan which would create a balance between the members.

______________________________

Fuji and Himari, despite having a short reunion with their younger brother, which was enough, were happy to find out he was cured mentally and physically as well as having good friends and comrades, which they had not thought about. The friends they were having, were only seen as their colleagues and friends in their eyes. However, it was not enough. Their reserved actions along with the viewpoints that were thought to be sociable had invisibly and accidentally, distanced them from their friends and family whom they should have been grateful. It caused such big damage not only to their loved ones but also to themselves that whenever their friends and young brother, Yukiko, tried to comfort them and explain their mistakes, they never listened or followed any of their advice which caused the isolation to become bad to worse. As a result, knowing that their efforts had already failed them, all of them decided not to talk to them any longer by isolating and seeing them as strangers.

_______________________________

... Unknown to both Fuji and Himari, they were not just strangers in their eyes, they were the real culprits in Yukiko's departure as they thought that he would not understand his siblings' feelings in their shoes which was the opposite of his energetic and outgoing personality...

______________________

After determining their future and now in separate ways, both of them were seen differently than in the past.

The Kurosaki family were described to have sliver hair with red diamond eyes for females and gray diamonds for males which were seen greatly in both of the geniuses. They were so beautiful and charming that they attracted many boys and girls to their beauty at their schools, something that their younger brother did not have. Being marvelous students in sports and subjects, it was no surprise that they had been invited to visit several countries by multiple organizations. They were not just siblings and friends. They were arch-rivals.

However, in Fuji's heart, it seems like, unlike his fianceé, his sister had already acted strangely to him. She was so attractive that he became fascinated by her beauty. While in the opponent, despite being strong and fearless in front of her brothers, her feelings did not lie, particularly her new feelings about her brother, not the student council president she fell in love with, that Himari hadn't thought through. With these true feelings, why were they still impulsive and resentful of each other? Only time could tell how they felt about each other...
