Hakkenden: Eight Dogs of the East [FanFic]

Chapter 19: Meeting the Family

[Your Name]'s POV

My life is peaceful now. All I need to do is to forget that I even loved those boys.

"[Your Name]. Come inside and help me cook." I snapped back to reality when my brother called.

"O-Oh. I'm coming." I said and took one last glance at the dark and gloomy sky.

I ran inside hoping that it wouldn't rain any minute.

"What were you looking at a while ago, nee-chan?" [Y/S/N] asked.

"N-Nothing. I was just hoping that it wouldn't rain. That's all." I said with a genuine smile.

"It will rain. I assure that." [Sister's Name] replied while reading a book.

"How would you know?" I asked while helping my brother set up the ingredients and such.

"Based on the wind and how the grasses move." She said and smiled innocently at me.

"Oh." Was all I could say.

"Hmm. I wonder if they already had dinner." I thought as I washed the carrots but I also shook the thought off and continued what I was doing.

3rd Person's POV

*Meanwhile*

The Mansion was quiet ever since you left that afternoon.

They're just sitting, reading, playing with Megu and even staring outside.

"Can't  we go look for [Your Name] now?" Shinobu whined and Shino agreed.

"We can't. Let's just let her do what she wants." Satomi said while working on his paperworks.

Shino stood from his seat and gripped Satomi's shirt as tight as possible. He was pissed at how Satomi took the situation so lightly.

"What has gotten into you?! You're not the Satomi that I remembered." Shino said while his rage just goes on.

"Shino. Calm down." Sosuke said and Shino harshly let go of of Satomi's shirt.

"Come on, guys. We're gonna look for [Your Name] whether they like it or not." Shino said and the bead holders followed and exited the room except for Hamaji, Ayane and Hibiki.

"You think we should also go? For their own safety too of course." Kaname said with a sheepish smile.

Satomi thought for a while before sighing and standing up.

"Fine but if we can't find her within 5 hours, we're going back here." He said and the others in the room nodded.

Shino and the bead holders are already in the front door and was ready to leave when Kaname shouted.

"Wait! Guys, wait. We'll help you guys find her!" He said happily.

"I knew you guys would come along eventually." Dakikaku said with a smirk.

With that, they all went out to look for you.

After an hour of splitting up and looking for you, they felt confused because you can't be found anywhere. They met up in the Church in the Red Light District.

"I can't find her." Dousetsu said.

"So do I." Genpachi sighed.

They all thought for a moment before Satomi spoke up.

"I-I think I know where she is." He said.

"Where then?" They all asked in sync.

"You'll know when we get there." He replied and started walking to the train station.

When they arrived, Hamaji stopped midway and stared at the place for a while before reacting.

"W-Wait. We have to ride a train just to know where in the world she is?" Hamaji asked as they all got there.

"Yes. Its very important for us to know where she is so... if this is what it takes then... its fine." Keno said and hopped inside. The others followed and Hamaji sighed deeply while tagging along.

"We'll find you, [Your Name]. Don't worry." Sosuke thought as he looked out the window.

*Meanwhile*

You and your brother started cooking while your sisters are playing and doing things they usually do. Hairstyling.

"There. All done." Your youngest sister said with a satisfied smile. You looked at what she's done and wad shocked at the sight.

"Now, I'm like onee-chan~!!! *laughs cutely*" Your younger sister said.

It made them looked so cute while using your hairstyle.

While they're playing, you focused on what you're doing. It suddenly rained so hard.

"Hm. The rain fell so hard suddenly." You commented while chopping the vegetables.

"Since the rain fell hard, did you ever fell in love when you were there?" Your brother suddenly asked out of the blue which made you flinch.

"W-Well, yeah. I-I kind of did." You murmured but loud enough for your brother to hear.

"Oh? Who is the lucky guy then?" He asked with a wide grin on his face.

"U-Uhm... Actually, its--" You were cut off with your sisters screaming.

You rushed to their aid. Your brother was still washing his hands while yours wasn't so it was a bit wet from all the chopping and washing.

"Girls. What's the comm--" You stopped talking midway because of what you saw.

The people that you tried avoiding and tried forgetting were standing right in front of you while soaking wet from the rain.

"[Your Name]." Shino said in a hushed tone.

"What are... you guys... doing here?" You were trailing off but you kept your composure.

"We came here to see you." Dousetsu said while clutching his coat tightly because of the cold.

You hurriedly left them without a word. They suddenly thought that you would just run away from them and still blame yourself for everything that had happened so they focused their gazes on the ground.

"Come inside. The rain's falling so hard. You guys might get sick. Oh and please make yourselves comfortable. They're my siblings by the way." You said and they immediately removed their shoes and went inside.

"I'll go heat up the fireplace." Your younger sister said.

"I'll help too." The youngest tagged with [Sister's Name].

"Here. Take these to at least dry yourselves up." You said and gave them each a towel.

"Th-Thank you." Genpachi said with a small smile.

"Well. Satomi. Its been a while." Your brother said. Satomi nodded.

"Hold on. Maybe I could lend you guys my clothes." He said and scurried to his room.

"The fire's done." Your sisters said in sync.

"Thank you girls. Please keep them company while I finish [Brother's Name]-nii's cooking." You said with a smile and they nodded.

"So... which one of you fell in love with our nee-chan?" [Y/S/N] asked.

The guys gulped except for Kaname and Nachi. They were nervous yet your youngest sister still kept her cool and stared at them intently.

You overheard the conversation so you just sighed and thought, "Oh boy. This is going to be a mess."
