OOC: Tetsu, Alec, Ruis, Shin, Yuu—It’s easier this way ^^;;
“But where wha—how…Oh never mind.” Alec got up from the chair, still in a trance for what just happened. He brushed off the long brown hair, reaching halfway down his neck off his face and walked his way towards the small stairs that leads towards the elevated part of the bungalow. He turned on the light that revealed a long corridor between two walls that has four doors on each side. As the light gave way for him to see where he’s going, he knocked loudly on four three of the doors, missing the first one to the left and then continuing until he reached the end.
”Wake up idiots, Little Sister is here!!!”
Hearing that, Hime let out a sigh, closed her eyes and started the countdown. Three...Two...
But just before she could finish to one, she heard loud thumps coming from the wall behind her. It was them, all right.
”What!? Hime!” A man in his early thirties wearing a white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of gray pants came out of the first door, fixing his glasses. Once he saw Hime, he ran downstairs, pass Alec and then towards her. He threw his arms around her in an embrace. That was Tetsu, the so-called 'man of the house'.
Another one came out, this time, a bit younger than the first two, who looked as if he’s stepping into his twenties. Ruis-kun, as Hime recognized him. He is the martial artist of the house, or as he calls himself, Hime's body guard. He had straight brown hair with bangs covering most of his eyes and a part of his cheeks, and he had the same brown eyes as Alec has. Seeing Hime already with her older brothers, he jumped down the stairs and then joined them.
And finally, the last one came out—the one that Hime told Hiei about when he slipped, and she was absolutely right about him having the same height and built as Hiei has, but then again, he looked older by a year or so. He moved down the stairs in a slow and calm manner with both hands inside his cargo pants’ pocket, messy and spiky hair brushing against his face as he did. He was Shin, the brother that resembles a lot Hiei’s calm and cold attitude. Stopping outside the small circle that formed around his foster sister, his brown eyes rolled towards Hiei. Practically, he was the only one who noticed him for now, and it was expected, since he is a very observant guy.
“Who are you?” He said in a dark and low voice.
Hearing that, Hime remembered that Hiei is there. She bit her lip at the fact that she almost forgot that he is with her at that time so she guess she should apologize later. She then pushed herself from Tetsu’s grip, and then turned around to face him. The circle that formed around her parted, and pretty soon. the four guys are currently looking at the “foreign person” stepping inside their house.
Hime smiled in a flush, and then ran towards Hiei’s side, grabbing his left arm and leaning closer.
“He’s my…boyfriend.” She said softly, answering Shin's question. A few seconds of silence after that, and the four of them finally snapped.
“Your—WHAT!?”

One by one, Hime's siblings came down. Though, one of them did not look like Hime's siblings at all. He looked more like her father or something. Hiei watched as he ran downstairs and embraced Hime. And then, the next one came down, this one more interesting that the former. For some reason, Hiei could already tell that his man was a fighter, from his build and his eyes, or what he could see of them. The fighter brother ran down the stairs and embraced Hime too. Watching as he did, he suddenly thought of his childhood. Not once had he ever been embraced at all. Lovingly, that is. When his sensei embraced him, it would either lead to the older man throwing him off somewhere, or a bear hug that was always meant as an attack. Hiei let out a sigh, then took a step back to give the family a little space for their reunion, feeling quite left out but didn't think much about it. And then, another one came down, this one reminding Hiei of someone.
He was calm, had a spiky hair-do and looked quite bored. Thing was, he looked young. Almost Hiei's age. He was suddenly reminded of Dark, his twin brother who went missing a couple of months back. Either that, or he was just lying too low to notice like Hiei did before.
"Who are you?"
Hiei looked at Shin and was about to answer with his name when he saw Hime move away from Tetsu's grip. Wondering if she was going to answer for him, he looked at her direction, only to see the other three brothers looking back at him suspiciously. Hiei simply looked back, his calm demeanor not letting him feel nervous or hesitant at all. And then, Hime ran to his side, hugging his left arm. Hiei followed her with his eyes, then was slighty surprised as she hugged his arm in front of her brothers and confessed that he was her boyfriend. Hiei looked up at the four brothers, wondering how they would react.
Awkward silence filled the room for amoment, before...
"Your--WHAT!?"
Hiei then let out a soft sigh, then looked up once more. Finally, he noticed. There were four of them. If he remembered correctly, there was one more. He looked at Hime and asked in his casual tone and volume, not wanting to look small in her brother's eyes.
"I thought you had five brothers?"

"I thought you had five brothers?"
As soon as Hiei said it, Hime's eyes turned back to her family. She started to count them starting from youngest to...Wait. Now she knows who's missing. How could she ever forget her youngest brother?
"Yuu...Where's Yuu?" Hime looked around, letting go of Hiei's arm and then rushing up the stairs where her brother's room is.
"You better off leave him at sleep." Alec stopped her from knocking at the first door with a pat on the shoulder.
"Why?"
"Because the little twerp's sick."
Hearing that, Hime's expression changed. Anxiety now filled her eyes. She began to recall the last time Yuu had a fever. It led him into frequent combulsion--and even a mild seizure. Back then, she thought she would lose him, but thank God, heaven spared him...Now, would it be the same this time? She didn't actually liked the look on her brother's face upon the mention of Yuu, and that made her worry even more.
"I've got to see him!" Hime said, removing Alec's hand from her shoulder.
"No. You would sit there with him." Tetsu said in a firm voice, pointing at Hiei, and then to the couch.
"Interrogation time." Ruis smirked, and then crossed his arm. "I'd love to see this."
"You aren't gonna see anything, Baka." He gave him a hit in the head with a huge paper fan. Hime blinked twice upon seeing it and then smiled.
"The paper fan is back." She said with a laugh.
"Hime. Couch. Now."
"Yes, brother." She quietly went there and gave Hiei a nervous smile.
"I want the three of you out of this room in ten seconds." He looked at the three of them, crossed arms with one hand holding the fan, and then shot Shin another glance. "Our guest needs a clean change of clothes. Find him something to wear." He ordered Shin, and the boy followed without a word of complaint. Just his still, cold expression.

So, Yuu was the last brother? Hiei turned back to the four brothers, his eyes stopping on Shin for a moment, before moving back to Hime as she rushed up the stairs, the boy taking a step forward to follow but decided against it as Alec stopped her from knocking. Hiei then turned towards Ruis as he explained Yuu's condition and turned back immediately to Hime. At first glance, he could already notice the worry that filled her eyes. Hiei's right fist clenched slightly. He hated seeing Hime like that. She was supposed to be his smile, after all. And then, Hime spoke in such a determined tone that Hiei felt even more guilty. Guilty of what? Of being unable to help this time.
But Hime's determined tone was surpassed by Tetsu's firm one. Hiei looked at Tetsu as the older male pointed at him, then at the couch, at which Hiei's eyes turned to. Ruis then cracked up a joke, if it was meant to be a joke, that only made Hiei reluctant to sit on the couch. Hiei turned back to Hime, catching a small moment of the fan-hitting scene that was happening before him as Hime smiled, or laughed, to be precise. A small smile crept up to Hiei's face. But it soon faded away as Tetsu ordered her to sit on the couch once more. Not wanting to give them a bad impression, Hiei followed after Hime. Then, as she sat down, he remembered that his clothes were actually wet. At that, he simply stood there, beside where Hime sat, turning towards Tetsu. For some reason, he reminded the younger boy of Kurogane.
Then, as Shin left the room, Hiei spoke, his first words to Tetsu echoeing slightly in the large and rather empty room.
"I think I prefer standing. Wouldn't want to wet your couch."

"No. You would sit there with Hime." Tetsu looked at him fiercly. If this guy would be his little sister's boyfriend, then he's got to learn how to follow him. Besides, he doesn't care a bit if the couch would get wet or turned to ashes by fire. It was the government who gave them everything they needed for free anyway.
Tetsu then sat down with them at the living room at the other couch facing theirs, placing the mighty paper fan on the glass coffee table. He looked at Hime, who was staring on the floor, sitted in her "behaved" manner, both hands placed on her lap and then the boy besides her. He studied how he looked physically, from toe to head and came to find him moderately decent. He looked fit too, for fighting, that is, but he saw something rather disturbing to the eye on his right arm. A tattoo? On a kid? That gave him the impression of him being a juvenile delinquent, but it's too early to judge him now.
"First of all, I want you to meet the family. The guy there--" He pointed towards Alec who was cleaning up the table. "Is James Alec Constantine. Second born."
"Umm, just call me Alec." He said, bowing moderately his head to pay Hiei some friendly respect.
"Ruis, Hime's body guard." Ruis interrupted, walking his way towards Tetsu's seat.
"And the second to the last--"
"Heads up." Shin threw the clothes towards Hiei as he came down from his room. "Name's Shin." And then looking at him coldly for one last time, he went back up the stairs, obeying what his older brother said. Now, if Hiei would look at the clothes Shin lent him, he would find out that they are a plain white long-sleeved shirt and a pair of jeans.
"AND I'm Mizuno Tetsu, and from now on, You shall call me doctor Tetsu. Is that clear?" He looked at them for a moment, and after that, turned his attention to Ruis.
"What are you still doing here?" He picked up the fan and hit his head again. "GO UPSTAIRS!"
Admist the commotion, Hime just sighed, and then looking at Hiei, she whispered an apology. "I'm sorry about this...I didn't tell you they're like that."

Hiei looked at Tetsu, then at Hime, then let out a sigh as he sat down beside her. He had no choice, after all. These were Hime's brothers. It would be better for the couple of her brother's approved of him anyway. Also, in the future, they would be his brother-in-laws? Then, Tetsu started to introduce them one by one, Hiei paying full attention as his hands were placed by his sides. James Alec Constantine? That didn't sound like Mizuno at all. Hiei turned to Hime for a moment, then at Alec as the older man gave him a bow, which Hiei returned with a similar gesture. A bow on his own, his raven crimson-tipped hair shifting slightly as he did.
And then Ruis, the one with the fighter's eyes, introduced himself. Hiei turned to him. He was taller, larger and probably stronger and faster than Hiei. Hime's body guard? That made Hiei wonder where he had been while Hime was kidnapped. Did they know about that? Well, maybe it was better that they didn't. These people need not be involved in such matters between the Academy and the Organisation.
Anyway, Tetsu continued with the introduction, but was interrupted by Shin as he appeared once more, this time tossing clothes at Hiei. Reacting as he normally would when something so light was thrown at him, his right hand jerked outwards, grabbing part of the shirt and the jeans in one hand. A white shirt? Hiei wasn't exactly too excited in wearing white, but at least it was dry, unlike him. Hiei looked at the clothes, then at Shin, noticing the cold look that he gave him. Hiei simply returned the gesture, then turned back to Tetsu as Shin turned around.
Doctor Tetsu? Well, Hiei had no problem with that. Despite him seeming like an anti-social, he still knew how to show respect when due.
"Yes, Doctor Tetsu."
Then, as Tetsu scolded Ruis, Hiei turned to Hime as she apologised to him. Hiei gave her a small smile, shaking his head as he did. Leaning closer, he whispered back.
"It's ok. Tetsu's like my sensei, only a bit nicer."

Tetsu's like Hiei master? Hime never knew that until Hiei said it. She had heard of this "master" of his, and if he was much like Tetsu, then he must be a very good person regardless of how he treated Hiei during his trainings. After all, he did take good care of him, didn't he? In fact, Hiei wouldn't be alive if he did't take him in--which is exactly the same with Hime's past situation. Come to think of it, Hime and Hiei were just picked up by both men too, if I'm not mistaken.
Alec now started going back to his room to continue his sleep, the sketch pad and his render materials and his hands. Ruis followed too, mummbling curses for his older brother while nursing his head. Really, the almighty fan does wonders.
As soon as Tetsu heard two doors shutting close, he turned his attention back to the two. He looked at Hime eye-to eye and crossed his arms.
"Hime, I know it's a bit too late to ask you this. It's not that I didn't want you here or anything," Tetsu said, trying his best not to trigger Hime's cry-babyness. "...But I have to know WHY you are here. You're supposed to be in the Academy tonight, sleeping. Isn't it against the Academy to go out of its walls? You broke the rules, did you? " He continued, his tone changing from "calm" to "reprimanding".
Hime just looked down as Tetsu was speaking. She knew exactly what she is going to face for breaking the rules, or what sanctions both of them will have, but she can't answer him. Why? She respects Tetsu too much that she couldn't talk back. She had always been like this everytime she would get reprimanded for something.

Hiei simply kept silent, not knowing what to do and what to say. He turned to Hime, seeing that she too was quiet. Taking her lead, he turned back to Tetsu, then noticed the fan. He then started to wonder, was Tetsu going to use it. Well, one thing was for sure, Hiei was not going to let him.

Looking once more at both of them, Tetsu sighed. So they had to hide the reason they're here, now. It's not as if it would make a difference if he knows about it anyway, so he guess he'll let it pass. The two must be tired and Hime's boyfriend might catch a cold if he holds him longer. After all, he's in his place, so he is his responsibility.
But before that, he still needs to ask him a few things. In private, that is. So looking at Hime, he spoke.
"Hime, I think you should go and sleep now. For tonight, I'll let you be in charge of Yuu. Make sure nothing's going to happen to him." He crossed his arms.
Hearing this, Hime lifted her head and protested. "But Hiei is..."
"I want to talk to him privately."
Hime now turned to Hiei with an I-should-obey-him expression on her face.
"Gomen ne, I have to check up on Yuu." Hime said while standing up. "Good night." She bid him with a peck on his cheek. And then, she left, leaving only Hiei and Tetsu alone in the room.
"So...It's Hiei, right?" Tetsu broke the silence, arms still crossed.
OOC: Sorry, rushed post >.<
