Mukami Brothers
Mirai had stayed at the castle while her father was in the human world. She was waiting to greet him when he returned from his trip. He had moved her brothers to the human but they were ordered to the return to the castle once the war began. Karl entered the castle. “Sire, who are these young men?” A servant asked.
“These are my new sons. They are your new brothers Mirai. This is Ruki, the one with the blonde hair is Kō, the tall one over there is Yūma, and that one is Azusa.” Karl said as he watched Mirai looked at each of them closely. “You can show them to their rooms now if you like?” Karl added as he went to talk to one of the servants. Mirai took them to their rooms.
“These rooms will be temporary until he finds a place for you to stay in the human world.” Mirai explained to them. “My brothers already have a mansion and have been living there for a while now. They just returned to their mansion last night. Ruki this is your room,” She stated as she opened the door. All of their mouths dropped open at the size of the room.
“Am I staying in here by myself?” Ruki asked as he walked into the room.
“Most of the guest rooms here are this size. All of you will have large rooms.” Mirai said as they walked to the room next to Ruki’s and she opened the door. “Kō, this is your room. Yūma your room is next across the hall from Ruki’s and Azusa yours is across from Kō’s.” She said as Yūma and Azusa walked to their rooms. She started to walk back to her room. She looked back at them for a second. She figured her father turned them into vampires to save them from the life they were living.
“Mirai-chan, where are going?” Azusa asked as the others came out of their rooms.
“Back to my room that happens to be in the other corridor where my brother’s rooms were. I can show you around if you like since I have nothing else to do right now.” Mirai suggested.
“That’s a good idea.” Ruki said as Kō, Yūma and Azusa walked over to her with him. “How long have you been living here?” Ruki asked her as they began to walk.
“Since I graduated high school, that was a long time before you were born though. I lived with humans until I finished high school because that was what my mother wanted. She died shortly after I was born. This is a picture of her.” Mirai explained handing them the picture. “My father wanted me to watch over my younger brothers as well so I came back home once I graduated from high school.” Mirai continued.
“Was your mother a vampire?” Kō wondered.
“Yes, she was the heir to her family but her father disowned her and banned her from returning here for life. She refused to marry my father. She did not suffer when died though. I found out something the orphanage you were in was the same one she went to before the Nijimura family adopted her. She was adopted three days after she was put at the orphanage.” Mirai added.
“You resemble your mother.” Yūma said causing her to blush. She was glad they were walking behind her. Something about Yūma reminded her of Shū’s childhood friend Edgar.
“What do you want to see first?” Mirai asked them. They all looked at each other. “We have walked back to where my room is already.” She stated turning around to face them. She took the photo of her mother from them.
“You could show us your room if you like Mirai-chan so if we need you for anything.” Azusa suggested and everyone agreed. She walked to her room and opened the room.
“This room is twice the size of ours.” Ruki commented. They all looked at how the room was organized and how she kept everything ordered. “You pay attention to detail. Everything is ordered by size or color.” Ruki continued as he entered the room to look around some more. Kō and Azusa walked into the room as well. Yūma stayed outside with Mirai. Mirai stifled a yawn the stretched her arms. She had stayed up for three whole days waiting for her father to come back. She had not slept in a while. She had gotten used to doing that when she was living in the human world going to school.
“Are we keeping you up?” Yūma wondered as he examined her figure and put a sugar cube into his mouth. He began to gnaw on it loudly but it did not bother Mirai one bit. She was used to it being noisy around her living with her brothers.
“Is there anywhere you would like to see?” She asked then looked at Yūma. “It is my job to make sure you know your way around the castle even though you are not staying for long. This is nothing to what I did while I lived in the human world since I had to attend school I spent weeks at a time without sleeping. I would sleep during my lunch break sometimes just so I could get some sleep since vampires are nocturnal creatures. Most nights I would be up doing my school work till dawn then head to school.” She replied to Yūma.
“You can get some sleep. You are the Princess and we heard everything from Karlheinz-sama.” Kō said as they walked back to their rooms. “If you need anything you can come to us to.” He added as they walked away from her room. Yūma stayed behind and made sure she was safe. Yūma figured that one day they would have to be her guards if she returned to the human world.
Three weeks passed and the four Mukami brothers were moved into their mansion in the human. Mirai was alone again at the castle but she received word that she would be able to go to the human world to stay with her brothers. She already had things at the mansion but she did not know if she would be staying there permanently or not. She left the castle one evening and headed towards the underground passageway to the mansion. She did not have any trouble reaching it though. She reminisced about the time she spent with the Mukami brothers and how Yūma reminded her of Edgar. Everything went as planned during their stay as well. She wanted to see them again if she could but she would not know what her living arrangements going to be until she reached the mansion. She finally reached the gate that led to the underground waterway of the mansion. She opened the gate then closed it back and walked down the stairs into the waterway where she heard voices but she know exactly who the male voices belonged to immediately. The female voice belonged to the new sacrificial bride but she did not know her name yet.
