Thousand Years Promise 8 Chapter 8 The Twins

"Mama, Idiot eldest brother is being mean to me." Little puppy cried out going into his puppy mood as he rushed towards the support of his tiger mother.

"Why you little," Hotsuma growled out seeing through his little brother's charade.

"Hotsuma." His mother warned him with a small glare making the eldest son flinch back in fright. Hugging his mother from behind little puppy grinned happily peaking his head from around his mother's skirts. Once meeting eyes the young boy's eyes sparked with a victorious grin sticking out his tongue at Hotsuma.

"Mom!"

"Hotsuma, don't make me repeat myself." His mother warned him, the air around growing thin with a sudden chill running down one's spine.

"There now, your brother won't be bulling you anymore." The atmosphere instantly turning warm and bright the moment she turned to look down at her youngest son. Staring at the mother and son the eldest's face fell in disbelief feeling defeated.

"Mother, do you really love me? Am I really your son?" He questioned her making his mother shake her head at her son's silliness.

"What are you talking about." She sighed before her eyes drifted over to Fuzuki standing a distance away from them. A small smile planted on her face as she watched the family interact with one another. The feeling of envy blooming once again in her chest. Even when her auntie tried to make her feel welcome, that didn't stop the seed of envy at times.

"Fuzu-chan!" Little puppy cheerfully cried out rus.h.i.+ng over to give her a tight hug. It was almost as if he could sense her loneliness and wanted to console her.

"Shu-chan loves Fuzu so much."Little puppy said with the warmest smile with wide sparkling eyes his complete aura feeling like a ray of sunlight. Smiling down at him her heart filled with warmth as she ran her finger through his soft hair.

"This Nii-san also loves the princess too." Hotsuma grinned out as he draped an arm around her shoulders from behind as he rested his chin on the top of her head.

"Idiot Nii-san get away from Fuzu!" Little puppy pouted clenching his fists as small tears filled in the corner of his eyes.

"Hotsu-kun, your teasing is going too far." Fuzuki frowned brus.h.i.+ng his arm away as she crouched down ruffling Shusei's hair.

"Don't listen to Nii-san, he's a big baka." A bright smile appeared on face his mood instantly lifts. Hugging her he gazed over her shoulder with a smirk as he stuck his tongue out to his older brother. Instantly the spark of sibling rivalry electricity returned between the two as the eldest stared down at the sly fox disguised in puppy clothes.

"Fuzuki!" Another voice yelled out cheerfully as the sound of the front door slamming open was heard. Standing up Fuzuki's eyes immediately brightened at the sight of the girl rus.h.i.+ng towards her.

"Toko!" Fuzuki yelled out happily before the other girl rushed forward tackling her in a hug.

"Fuzuki, I'm so happy that you're okay. I was so worried about you." Toko said as tears gathered in her eyes staring up at Fuzuki with sad puppy eyes. Fuzuki's own heart squeezed with guilt as she took in the worried sad expression of her dear cousin. Even though Fuzuki was a year younger than the twins she has always had a soft spot for Toko. The young girl who was raised to be a proper young lady full of innocence and beauty. Even now the innocent girl was not aware of the many hearts she stoled. Both twins were born with the beauty and handsome traits from Fuzuki's aunt and uncle. While Toko looked like her father with soft brown-gold hair and warm light chocolate colored eyes, Hotsuma was born with his mother's dark red hair and hazel eyes. Toko was graced with the same slim body structure like her mother but was shorter while Hotsuma was much taller with a well-built body. Toko's appearance filled with grace and innocence while Hotsuma's filled with playfulness and mischief. Overall both twins were graced with a beauty beyond compare.

"I'm okay, Toko," Fuzuki a.s.sured the young girl who smiled slightly up at her seeing how Toko was a few inches shorter than Fuzuki.

"Mama, why didn't you tell me you were going to pick Fuzu up? I wanted to give her some cookies I baked." Toko pouted turning to her mother who watched the exchange with a smile.

"You can eat them in your room before dinner. Have some time to catch up, Fuzuki will be joining you two at the academy tomorrow." Toko's eyes seem to lift up at her mother's words before her hands reached out taking Fuzuki's in her own.

"Yay, I won't only be living with you but now going to the same school. I can't wait." Toko cheerful same before her twin walked over to them with a smirk.

"Don't go overboard Toko. Fuzuki unlike you is a shy delicate girl." Toko's face turned red at her brother's words snapping her head up at him with a glare.

"Quiet you, womanizer!" Toko yelled out making the older twin flinch back with an almost pained expression before grinning placing his hand over his chest.

"How you say something like that dear sister? I love all girls equally." He said almost dramatically making the younger twin roll her eyes at her brother's disappointing words.

"Your nothing but a big pervert. All woman should be kept away from you." Toko argued back sticking out her tongue at him childishly before pulling Fuzuki by the hand into the large home. Standing now beside her oldest son Reika chuckled slightly before her youngest son sent Hotsuma a frowning look sticking out his tongue before rus.h.i.+ng in after his sister and cousin.

"Mother, you spoil Toko too much! How can you let her bully her dear older brother." Hotsuma whined out with crocodile tears. An angry vein suddenly appearing on her forehead as she stared at her eldest son with a smile.

"If my dear son would stop fooling young girls hearts and settle down with just one nice girl that would make mama very happy. What a poor mother I am to have a womanizer as a son. To think you only inherited my beautiful looks and charms but not your dear father's gentlemen manner." Reika said with a disappointment sigh making her son let out a small awkward cough scratching the back of his head.

"But mom, your a.s.sistant who used to be your manager told me you were just like me before. Only worse." Hotsuma pointed out making his mother snap as she cursed out to that gossiping a.s.sistant of hers.

"That nose sticking man! Wait until i get my hands on him."
