Yuki Pov

"I'm home!"

I cried out as I took off my shoes to place them in the shoe cabinet.

"ANIKI!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Brace for impact.

"Omph!"
Something fast came at me from the spiral staircase  and knocked me over.
I looked up from my daze to see my own face smiling gleefully at me.
I blinked in realisation that it wasn't a mirror, it was my twin sister Yui.
I sighed and helped her up as I stood up as well.

"I assume you have no work today."

"YEP!"
Her loud voice echoed painfully in my ear and I rubbed the back of my ears gingerly .
"Where s Da?"

Da being a short form for Dad.

"He's training with Yukine."

"Oh."

"I'll change into my yukata first, then we can go see him. Sound good?"
I suggested to Yui, she nodded happily and grabbed my hand.
Before I could say, "Wait!" I was dragged through a series of sliding doors and corridors that was a short cut to my room .

I stared at the scenery as my feet scraped the tatami mats on the floor.
Flower, room, tree, painting, garden, pond , wall, wall , wall......
My room.
Yui stopped abruptly, making me BANG into her head causing both of us to groan, and stepped back a bit.
I gently shook of her hand and pushed open the door.
Nothing much was in here.
Kotatsu , fuuton, nightlamp, kendo sword, and my most favourite, Tea Station.

I smiled to myself and out my bag down on the oak desk.
I removed the silky male uniform of Ouran and donned a navy blue kendo yukata. The feeling of my limbs being freed was fantastic, I loosened the chest band I wore just a bit.
Da is probably gonna make us train, no point in bathing, I thought as I sprayed myself with Mixed-berry body spray.
What? I have my needs.

I walked along the corridors
Yuri and I walked along the halls of the house / dojo until we reached the main hall. We could hear the sounds of clashing wood against wood and a few groans of pain.
And Of course, my dads strict voice.

"FOCUS YUKINE."

His booming voice rose above the swords and silenced the sworsmen.
Yui looked anxious to meet Da in one of his moods. I was quite fine with him yelling in my ear, im pretty much deaf with all the people in my family who like to yell.

"Yes Sir!"
My youngest brother Yukine replied from inside the dojo

"Come in Yuki.. Yui..."

The one praticing is Yukine, youngest of us siblings. He wants to be the best swordsmen in Japan.

Yui is my younger twin sister, pop idol. 

 Dad stood up softly and gently pushed open the door that led to the corridor connected to the main bedroom.

He disappeared into the corridor for a few moments before returning with a familiar figure in her wheelchair. My eyes widened along with the rest of my siblings.

Yui gasped and Yukine instantly sat up in shock..
I gripped the tatami mat and it crunched under my hold.

The figure gave us a fragile smile and waved to us with  her paper white hand.
Her dark blue hair was tied up in a small bun, decorated with a Jade pin we had given her for her 40th birthday.
Her amethyst-coloured eyes shimmered in delight as she saw all her children before her.

" Hey Kids."

"Oka-san...."

_eye break


"Oka-san..." I muttered in awe. I just could not believe what I was seeing .
Mother on the wheelchair. Grinning at us all.
Her eyes rested on me and Yui and widened a bit. "Yuki? Yui?"
I sheepishly smiled at her, wiping away the tears that were forming. "Yep, its us. The daughters that you only saw like 15 years ago." Yui finished. She gently pushed away from Da and wheeled her way towards me and Yui.
Her wheelchair crunched against the hard tatami mats.

"Yuki.... Yui, you've grown, so much..." She sniffled and wrapped her arms around us in a tight hug. I was enveloped in her familiar warmth and snuggled into her warm sweater that she wore over her kimono.  "Mom!" Yui burst into tears and buried her face into Mom's wool sweater. I hugged Mom back just as tightly, gently setting her down onto the tatami mat. Yui and I held her frail body in our arms, not caring if we were getting a mix of tears and snot on our kimono yukatas. 

She pulled away and snatched tissues from the tissue box in Dad's hand for us and herself. Offering a hand to help her back onto the wheelchair, I positioned myself to hoist her back on. She waved my offer away and asked a favour. "Look away dears, I can pull myself up but it ain't graceful."  She giggled and shooed us to get going. I slapped a hand over Yukine's eyes and Yui did the same to me before covering her own eyes. 

I smiled as I looked back on the past half hour. So many things had happened in half an hour.

 But why? 

My smiled was wiped off and I prised Yui's hand off my face  once Mom allowed us to. I quickly snapped into action and asked, "Why do you suddenly choose to come out of your room Mom? " Yui quickly caught on. "You denied all our visits before, why the sudden change of heart Mum?"

My parents froze.

After a long silence, Mom started to speak.

"I'm dying."
