A girl with long black hair dropped a box filled with moving materials onto the ground. The dust that had kicked up, swam in her face, making her sneeze uncontrollably. "Tell me again.. why we had to leave Dragonia?"

A high pitched laughter came from behind the long haired girl. "'Coz sis... You know we were bein' hunted by Carrion." Her much shorter black hair and stature was the only thing that showed she was different from her older sister. "And Pyro said to keep his queen safe until it was time to come back."

Sighing could be heard from behind them. "You know you guys could have been done by now if you didn't always stop to talk." Both girls turned around to see the third sibling, with dark blue shortened hair. "I told you guys to finish up before sunset, and it's almost sunset!"

"What's your problem bro?" The younger girl asked. "We just need to unpack this and one other box."

He just chuckled at them. "Atsuki..." He knelt down. "There are three more boxes outside that you forgot."

Atsuki scowled at her older brother. "Nuh uh. Those were yours... I was talkin' 'bout mine and Suiru's..."

Suiru, still older than her sister, but younger than Daisuke, frowned. "Will you two just stop that. Sis.. just get the boxes, Dai and myself will pull the stuff out." Atsuki whined a bit, before Suiru gave her a darkened look.

"Alright alright, I'm on it..." She started to mutter under her breath as she went back outside.

Daisuke just chuckled as he stood up to face Suiru, "Funny isn't it. That I can get along with you and your husband, but not our little sis." He facepalmed before laughing a bit more. Bringing his face back up he looked around somewhat. "How about we get this stuff out of their containers, before we get mold."

Suiru had been quietly doing that while her brother was talking. "What took you so long, bro.. Just get to it." He blinked before he started to take the pictures out of a box. "And no sentimental thinking... You already set us back a week."

He blushed before looking back at her. "I'm sorry.. I was just worried about moving here.. I didn't want to you know..." His face went a bit blank as he tried to hide his sorrow.

"I know you didn't Dai... But I wanted to have some protection when I moved, because I know that Atsuki couldn't protect a fly." Suiru was holding a small folded fan in her hands that she had taken out of a box. "And.. I also need someone to train with, to make sure next time I leave for the Capital, I can be sure to not lose."

They both chuckled a bit. "Nah.. I know the real reason.. It's coz you didn't want to be left alone with Atty... We all know how annoying she can be." Suiru couldn't help but chuckle a bit again.

"Hey.. what's with all the chuckling.. I thought you two were unpacking!" The shrill voice echoed from behind them. Both siblings stopped laughing as they turned around to see their younger sister pouting with a box in her hand. "Just cause I'm 12 doesn't mean you can use me for slave labor either!"

Suiru and Daisuke couldn't help but laugh at that. "We aren't sis. You just... you just do better when you have some manual labor to keep you entertained." Daisuke spoke up.

"I'll get you for that Dai!" She dropped the box and tackled him, punching his stomach. "Why do ya always make fun of me?"

Suiru still laughed as she tried to pull her younger sis off of her older brother. "Calm down Atsuki.. he's always been like this.. a joker."

Sasuke stared out of his window, having a perfect shot into the household next to his. "What are those fools doing?" He sighed, before he turned away. "It's not like I can go and see them. They probably know already of my past and of who I am." He looked down as he walked to the door to the outside. "What the hell.. I can try can't I?"

---

"ATTY GET OFF OF ME!" Daisuke cried out as she began to pull at his hair. She made sure to pull his longer bangs as that was his weak spot she found.

"NOT UNTIL YOU STOP CALLING ME ATTY! MY NAME IS ATSUKI!" Atsuki yelled at her older brother. "NOW CALL ME ATSUKI!"

"ALRIGHT ALRIGHT.. I'M SORRY ATSUKI!" He let the last word come out weirdly, which made Atsuki even more irate.

Her frow began to crunch together. "I don't like the way you said ATSUKI!"

Daisuke couldn't hold back a few tears of pain as he finally said it, "I'm sorry Atsuki...."

Atsuki smiled as she let go of his bangs and jumped off of him. "That's good."

Suiru frowned at her younger sibling. "Why did ya get all weird like that Atsuki?"

"It's 'coz I hate being called Atty... He knows it.. Yet he still calls me that." She cried out at her older sister. "I'm trying to get him to stop it."

Daisuke rubbed his head, tryng to make it stop throbbing. "I'm sorry, it just sorta slips sometimes."

A knock at the door made all three look there. "Hey...Um.. I'm one of your neighbors... Uchiha Sasuke..." He smiled a bit, though he couldn't hold back his aprehension. Sasuke felt as though he wanted some one to like him again, yet since he came back from Orochimaru he was hated. "I just thought.. thought that I would say hi to you guys."

Daisuke jumped up as he saw the black haired man. 'Sasuke...' He tried not to blush as he dusted himself off. "Hi Sasuke... I'm Fayne Daisuke, oldest of the Fayne siblings."

Suiru shook her head as she looked at her older brother. She knew what he was thinking. Using the paper fan she took out of the box, she fwapped him on the head. "Stop oogling.. You just met him!" She chuckled at the new person. "I'm Lee Suiru, wife of Lee Pyro." She bowed.

Atsuki looked at both of them with a frown. "WHAT ABOUT ME!?" She ooked the man over before sighing. "I'm Lee Atsuki, dunno if it's nice ta meetcha or not.. I dunno you that well anyways."

Suiru twitched as she fwapped her younger sister on the head with the same fan. Daisuke had already been crying a bit. "Why'd you have to state what I was doing... SUIRU!" He rubbed his head again before sighing. He looked at Sasuke one last time before blushing and chuckling. "Sorry about that, usually I try to get a sense of the people I met."

Sasuke couldn't help but blush. 'Wow... these people.. they don't know of me... but him... I can't help but wonder about the one called Daisuke.. "Did I come at an inopportune time, you guys?"

All three siblings shook their heads. "Nope, we were just finishing up unpacking." Suiru looked around, two boxes were left to be unpacked and she sighed. "Yet, if you want to, you can help us."

Sasuke chuckled. "Sure why not. Might as well help the new neighbors." He walked towards them, passing by Daisuke only slightly. His nostrils flared as he caught hold of a scent. 'Sakura...petals... His eyes drooped close for a second, before he walked right over a box, tripping himself. He fell to the ground with an "Oof." Atsuki couldn't suppress her laughter as she watched this new man make a klutz out of himself. Suiru frowned at her sister, as she fwapped her again with the paper fan. Yet it was Daisuke who came over and helped Sasuke up.

"Sorry for the mess, uh.. Sasuke was it?" He blushed as his hand held Sasuke's. "Why don't you help me unpack the other box, the one that didn't want to kill ya. My sisters can get this one."

Sasuke nodded, before he blushed at the feel of Daisuke's hand. "A-Alright." He stammered, yet he didn't know why. Usually around new people he was alright, especially when they didn't know of him. Yet it seemed this time he was tripping all over himself, and literally at that.

Sasuke and Daisuke moved themselves to the other box and began to unload its cargo, while talking back and forth. Daisuke was telling Sasuke about Dragonia while Sasuke was telling him about Konoha Village.

Atsuki and Suiru both sighed. "Looks like bro has gotten himself a small crush." Atsuki whispered as she began to help her sister take out the stuff from the box.

"I guess so.. I just hope he doesn't forget about his family, and the promise he made to Pyro..." Suiru responded back to her sister.

Both girls began to talk back and forth about their brother's new crush, Suiru trying to make headsway over this whole situation. "Wonder... what we tell Thysius when we get back to Dragonia."

Atuski giggled. "Tell her that she lost her man to another guy." Suiru frown and fwapped her sister again. "OW! That hurts ya know!"

The group of four finished unpacking within the next hour, and as they gave their goodbyes, Sasuke smiled at all three of them. "I think I'm going to enjoy you guys as my neighbors." He chuckled before he walked out the door.

Suiru and Atsuki both looked at Daisuke, "Ok Ok.. tell us everything!" Daisuke blushed before he pushed himself away from them.

"No.. I need some sleep though.. I'll catch you three at sunrise." He disappeared into the bedroom. Both girls sighed as they sat down on the ground. "We need to find out if they're going out yet." Atsuki chuckled, before Suiru nodded a bit.

Laying down on his bed, Sasuke looked up at the ceiling. A blush crossed his face as he thought back to earlier that day. "Those... people..." He felt the hand caress his again. "Daisuke..." He blushed deeper, as his eyes closed, still thinking of that man. Sasuke chuckled for a moment. "It's... not like he totally likes me."

---

THe dark blue man turned on his side, as he sighed. "Of course... the first person that I meet here, I...like more than normal." He cursed himself silently as he thought of Thysius. "I'm sorry, love.. but..." A tear dripped down his face, but he wasn't sad. 'Somehow I knew... that was the reason I declined..'

---

Suiru and Atsuki both sat in the living room, still talking. "Did you see the way bro was lookin' that dude up?" Atsuki giggled through her words. Suiru chuckled with her.

"I know... That's why I had to hit him with the fan." She snickered slightly. Her eyes twinkled with something in the moonlight. “I… have an idea, Atsuki….” She leaned over, before she started to whisper into her little sister’s ear. Atsuki’s eyes glowed and shimmered as she heard her sister’s words.

Atsuki nodded to her older sibling. “Alright.” A devilish grin shined across her face as she giggled.

Suiru smiled happily. “Finally, bro.. I think you’ll be happy.” She looked at her sister, before standing up. “Let’s get some sleep. We need to be ready for tomorrow.”

“Alright sis!” Atsuki stood up suddenly and smiled as she ran off to her bed first.

Suiru looked out the window at the moon. “Let Dai have some happiness, alright?” She spun around and sighed. “Since all he’s had was heartache.” Slowly walking to her room, she passed by an old picture. Stopping, she took a look at it before frowning. “Don’t worry Kalin.. I’ll take care of him for you…” A tear dropped off her face as she continued to walk into her room, memories flashing back to when she and her sister first met their brother.

(**Flashback**)

”Hurry up sis! We need to get to the garden! Seems we got a new visitor waiting for us!” Suiru smiled as she continued to run towards the Secret Garden. Atsuki was right behind her, panting and groaning.

“But did we have ot get up this early to meet them?” She stared up at the sun, which was barely rising.

Suiru chuckled at her sister, her long black hair trailing a bit behind her. “Just because we’re royalty doesn’t mean we can go and be lazy! Now get your but into gear!” She saw the hedges in front of her, letting her feet do all the work now. She jumped up with ease, catching a foot on top of the hedge before she jumped down. Atsuki followed suit, though she tumbled on the ground when she landed.

“Ow ow ow ow ow. Sister!” Suiru looked at her younger sister, her eyes sparkling with happiness.

“Calm down, Atsuki…” She smiled. “So.. do you remember who told us of this visitor?” Standing there, she let the fan in her hakama move slightly, with her hand brushing the hair that had gotten in her face away.

Atsuki gave it some thought as she sat there on the ground. “Wasn’t it Kalin? One of your guards?”

Suiru chuckled as she nodded. “Yes.. he wanted us to welcome his brother… Welcome him to this country.”

A man’s chuckle came from behind them, “Seems I’m known when I wasn’t suppose to be…”

Twirling herself around, with her fan ready, she stared at the man, before laughing. “Ahh… Are you Daisuke?” He laughed and nodded, before he looked at her with his multi-colored eyes.

“And you two are?” He asked politely.

Suiru bowed, “I’m Suiru, and this is my sister Atsuki.” Atsuki frowned at both of them.

“Why do I need to be introduced?” Her eyes flared with false anger as she stood up suddenly. “I want to know!”

Daisuke laughed as he looked at the younger one. “Atty is it?” Atsuki groaned before she yelled back at the man.

“MY NAME IS ATSUKI!!!! NOT ATTY!” She tackled him to the ground and started to punch his stomach.

Suiru sighed as she look at the man now being mauled by her sister. “Come on Atsuki.. stop it.. We just met this man and you already want to kill him?” She looked at Daisuke. “I’m sorry… My sister gets a bit.. too over excited with certain things.” Taking out a paper fan, she fwapped her sister on the head. “Stop that now!”

Atsuki grabbed her head as she rolled off the man. “SISTER!!!!” Daisuke could only chuckle at them.

“I think I’m going to like it here.” He replied to them. “So.. where is my brother?”

(**End of Flashback**)

Laying down on her bed, she stared out the window. “Why… Why did you have to take him away from us?” She frowned again, before closing her eyes a bit. “I promised you Kalin… And I won’t forget that promise… We will make Daisuke happy.”

---

Daisuke was the first one to stir awake as the sun shot through his window. He turned back and forth, before he finally realized it was morning. “OH GOD!” He jumped up, before tumbling over a chest in front of his bed. The resulting slam on the ground stirred both Atsuki and Suiru, though Suiru didn’t fall asleep in her bed. She was too deep in thought to even do that. Both got out of their beds quickly and stumbled through the rooms to find Daisuke on the ground. “Ow ow ow ow ow….” He held his head as he looked at both of them. “WHAT?!” Suiru laughed as she put away her steel-tipped fan, while Atsuki put away her small sword.

“Geesh aniki… Try not to wake the neighbors like that.” Suiru chuckled as she smiled at him, holding out a hand to help him up. ’I wonder… does he still remember Kalin?’ Suiru thought as she got her brother to his feet. “Anyways… Brother.. would you stay here with Atsuki? I need to go and get some herbs…” She turned around before smiling slightly. “And don’t worry… I’ll ask our neighbor Sasuke, where to get the best herbs, so he’ll protect me if any of Carrion’s agents come here.”

Daisuke blinked at her. “S-Sure…” He looked at Atsuki, who had a huge grin on her face. “Come on aniki!!! Let’s go and play in the yard!” Daisuke could only chuckle as his hand was pulled out the door.

“Sister… do what we said we would last night…If not for him… for me…” She sighed as she walked out the front door, to go and see Sasuke. “Leviathan… If you love your daughter, then you will help me…”

---

Sasuke had already been up, making some tea for himself, as he heard the front door start to rattle. “One second…” He yelled out as he struggled to get a shirt on himself. Walking over to the door, he breathed out slowly. ’Calm down…’ He opened the door, before he stumbled a bit. “Oh… hello.”

Suiru chuckled as she looked at him, with a basket in her arms. “Hi Sasuke.. I was wondering if you could help me?”

Sasuke blinked before he regain his composure. “Sure… Suiru was it?” She nodded to him. “But first.. you want to come in and have some tea?” She smiled greatly.

“I wouldn’t mind, Sasuke-san.” He blushed a bit as she started to give him some respect. He felt only obliged to fix his earlier call of her.

“Alright, Suiru-chan.” Suiru blinked before she chuckled nervously. She didn’t like people using respectful things for her, since she was always taught to never ask for it. But the way he said it, made it feel almost normal, as if he truly did have respect for her. She walked into his house, towards the kitchen, all the while she peered about, trying to get a sense of who he was. “So… what do you need help with?” His voice spooked her for a moment, as she turned to him.
