Blending In [A Brothers Conflict Fanfiction]

Chapter 1

Everything ends.

Where there is a start, there must always be an end. That goes for everything from love to life. But where there's an end, there's usually an opportunity for a new beginning. You only need to open up your eyes and your heart, and soon enough, that beginning will be within your reach.

One man started the new beginning to his love life two years ago, when he fell for a gorgeous woman in Japan.

It took a while for him to recover after his first divorce, but he waited for the beginning of a romance. He claimed he never wanted one, not after what happened with the demon from before, but all the time he was secretly waiting for another chance. For a living angel to come to him and give him his new beginning and happily ever after. Luckily, he met that angel during a business trip to Japan when he bumped into Miwa Asahina, a mother-of-thirteen who had recently lost her husband to a tragic accident.

The two kept in contact and the man frequently visited the country to see her. Over the years that they saw eachother the relationship between them grew stronger and stronger until he couldn't bare it anymore; he had to marry her.

The day before White Day he flew over to Japan with a ring in his pocket and a goal set in his mind. The day after, he proposed. Of course, she said yes. She practically screamed it. Not only was this his second chance at happiness, but hers too, and neither of them were about to let it go to waste.

The next few months they were together were spent arranging for his daughter from his previous marriage to fly over and live with twelve of her thirteen sons, believing that sharing a house with them would make the family bond and grow close while they went to live in a different house together and plan their wedding day. One thing they never counted on was if she'd accept her new family...

"Wait a minute, you're getting married? To somebody I've never even met?!" the young girl shouts, slamming her fists on the table in response to her father's inconsiderate actions.

"Now, just calm down for a minute--"

"And to top that off, you're dragging me off to Japan against my will!" Her brown eyes blaze with anger. "All these years you could've been here taking care of me, but no, you had to keep flying over to Japan to visit some stupid woman! What about me?! I've probably spent more time with my uncle than with you! It's not as if our family is massive either! Don't you ever think I might get lonely?"

"Hey, look on the bright side, you'll have plenty of brothers to keep you company now, thirteen to be exact!" her father says, slightly intimidated.

"And don't you think--" she pauses, taking in her father's words before speaking once more, "hang on, I have how many brothers?!"

"Thirteen, you'll be living with twelve of them."

"And you never considered my feelings?! What is wrong with you?!"

"I did. I knew you'd react like this, so I told you today so you'd have enough time to pack for tomorrow instead of trying to find ways to escape this," he mentally smirks, seeing her at a loss for words, he knows that he's got her cornered. "We're flying out first thing in the morning. Your schooling, passport and everything else have all been sorted over these past few months so there's nothing for you to worry about."

With only a couple of words left to combat his, she sits back in her chair and folds her arms. "I'm not leaving," she calmly states. "I refuse."

"I think you misheard me. You don't have a choice in the matter, we're flying out first thing in the morning," he repeats sternly.

"You mean you're flying out first thing in the morning. I'm staying with my uncle."

"No, you're coming with me tomorrow."
