--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I took a step to the side and gazed after children with a smile who ran past me trying chasing themselves. It was a beautiful day and the streets were full of life and activities.

„ Konichi wa ____-san“. I bowed to an old lady which approached me with the same bow and wished her a good morning as well. In our humbled town peace was an idyllic ally but this was no naturalness.

The west and his culture already found its way into our old Japan and many peaople were not pleased with this circumstances. The era of the sword slowly comes to an end and many honourable samurai roamed around this land as ronins and earned their few Yen through shaky secondary business. Our town too was taken by the western troups but still people stuck to some traditions.

I hurried up and moved a foot forward on the stone stairs who led the way to the shrine. Almost every day I visited the shrine for my daily prayer. It was calming and made me feel peaceful inside. So much was happening around us and when I finally folded my hands in front of the shrine everything was alright at this very moment. My hair was messily formed to a bun and wobbled with every step I took as I made my way up the stone stairs.

Every time I walked through the Tori it amazed me anew and the turmoil on the streets faded into nothing. Just the wind which whistled through the tree tops was my companion.

Carefully I stopped in front of the shrine and reverently folded my hands. “Thank you…you gods above and deep down…for watching over us. May all our lives will be blessed with your boon…”. I took a deep bow and stayed like this for a while.

Untill I heard a hollow sound and voices. Curious like a child I rose again and peeped around the corner of the shrine. My feet unconsciously carried me to the voices.

“ Aye Sir…finish him…go on Ten-nii show him who’s the boss!”. “ Ne Chuutaro shouldn’t you just whoop for only one of us?”. I watched as two man were stuck in the middle of a one on one battle and a third boy was sitting on the side and threw his arms into the air loudly. I hid behind a tree as quiet as possible to have a better look at the scene.

“ Oi Sora-kun if you keep on going like this it’ll gonna be hard for you to become head of the clan one day!”. The man, who seemed to be the oldest giggling, raised his fan in front of his face. “ You’re one to talk brother…it’s because of you I have to be ashamed of being a Kumo…”. With a crimson-faced head his opponent closed in for a blow but the man just easily blocked his swords with his fan. “ Just admit it brother…you love me…”. He threw his hand theatrically on his forehead and I wasn’t sure but I imagined seeing fake tears in his eyes. “ Aye Sir… Sora we love our Ten-nii…”. I had to put a hand on my lips so I would not start to chuckle as the youngest boy fell around the oldest neck and the other boy laid down his swords in defeat.  
 
I squeaked as I stumbled forward and all eyes laid upon me. “ Look brothers we have a visitor..”. Straightaway the young boy let go of his brothers neck and happily bounced next to me. “ Did you watched my brothers while they trained?...”. I nodded taken aback when the little boy looked at me with his big grey eyes und a smile spread across his face. “ Don’t you want to introduce your friend to us Chuutaro?”. I fell a step back when the other two brothers consorted with his youngest brother and curiously laid their eyes on me.

“Gomenasai…I didn’t want to disturb or observe you…I just prayed at the shrine and heard your voices…I was just curious…”. I took a deep bow and tried to hide my timid blush behind my bangs. “That’s good now I have a witness that can confirm that Soramaru isn’t ready yet…”. I looked up to the man with big eyes by the time he swung an arm around me and reproving pointed his fan at his brother. “ Tenka that’s embarrassing…leave the girl alone!”. I was at loss of words as the brothers began to argue once more but deep inside I felt that their bonds were very strong.

“ Gomenasai but may I ask a question?”. Immediately the brothers stopped to quarrel and looked to me. “ You are the Kumo brothers aren’t you?”. The oldest brother raised his arms with a scream into the air whereas his younger brothers nodded shyly. “ You are totally right my dear….we are the famous Kumo brothers and our name seemed to have reached the most distant places…when even a beautiful young maiden like yourself heard of us…”. It was hard for me not to burst out in laughter because of his chesty performance and his younger brother just shook his head in embarrassment. Tenka, I think this was his name did heroic poses while the youngest of the three again turned his attention to me. “ You’re coming to the shrine everyday  don’t ya…”. I kneeled down to him to have a conversation eye to eye.

“ I’m watching you every day when you pray and sing…it’s a lot of fun for us listening to you…”. My head burst into a blush and looked to the other boys. “Chuutaro’s right…you are one of the few people to come so regularly…”. Before I could say anything Tenka raised his voice. “ It would be our pleasure to welcome you to our house for dinner today…”. I couldn’t help but accept the invitation and seconds later I had a smiling Chuutaro around my neck who almost yanked me to the ground with him.

“ Is there really nothing I can help you with?”. I felt really bad as Shirasu put a plate with some tea cups  on the table in front of me. The excited little boy who seemed to burst with energy jumped next to me and hugged me tight.

“ How do you like it here _____?”. Tenka took a seat across from me and sent me a smile. “ You have a really stunning mansion and you have my utmost respect for everything you do…everybody loves you and it’s nice to know that there is somebody who cares for the villagers…”. I stroked Chuutaros back and a warm blush was tickling on my cheeks. Tenka fluttered with his fan in front of his face and I didn’t miss his smile which he tried to hide.

“ The dinner will still take its time…I guessed a few cups of warm sake will make the waiting more pleasant…”. Shirasu came to us and put a bottle of sake and some cups on the small table. “ Arigato Shirasu…you really don’t need help?”. Shirasu smilingly shook his head and Chuutaro snuggled himself closer to me. “ Are you from around here?”.  It didn’t bother me that Chuutaro pushed himself onto my lap. It almost seemed that he was my little brother right now.

“ Hai…I’m living a bit outside the town…the daily visit to the shrine is like a tradition to me…”. I was taken by surprise when Chuutaro reached across to table for a cup of sake. “Aaah! Chuutaro that’s something you should not drink…”. While Soramaru took the cup out of his brothers hands to store it somewhere unreachable for him Tenka just had the time of his life and started to laugh on top of his lungs. “ Hahha ______-chan you look like a mama for Chuutaro….”. I was not sure but I thought of hearing a wisp of displeasure in his cheerful voice.

“ ____-chan…if Tenka would marry you…would you be my Ka-san or my Nee-chan?”. We both taken by surprise looked at the little Kuma with big eyes. I struggled for words to say and yanked Chuutaros cap off his head to hide my flushed face in it. “ Why are you so red _____-ch----!!”. I peeped out the cap and saw Tenka holding his fan in front of Chuutaros mouth. “ Nee little brother…we don’t want______-chan to feel uncomfortable do we?”. Our eyes met and his warm gaze made my heart beat faster than it already did.
   
“ Dinner is now ready…”. We looked up to Shirasu and I was a bit shocked at how fleet-footed and quiet he came into the room without noticing him. He put the colourful delicacies on the table and before the plate could touch the wooden table Chuutaro stole a green onion from the plate. “ Ittadakimasu!!”. Chuutaro clapped his hands together and reached across the table to steal food from his brother’s plate. I could only chuckle at the scene before me. As long as I could remember I had a feeling that this is what a family would feel like. I myself had never met my parents. That’s why I want to keep this memory in my heart.

“ You should eat something too..”. I looked at the chopsticks in front of my nose und followed them till I met Tenkas eyes again. I nodded and grabbed past Chuutaro who still sat on my lap.

Untill night we sat together and even Shirasu joined us after I tirelessly begged him to sit with us. There was lot of laughter and after Tenka took a cup too much and started to dance on the table even Soramaru shared a smile with us. It all felt so wonderful.

“ I’m really sorry that you had to experience Tenka like this…”. I giggled when Shirasu lighted up a candle to bring a bit of light into the dark room. Slowly I looked down to Chuutaro who quietly drifted to sleep into my arms. Not even once he left my side.

“ Chuutaro really likes you…honestly he always tells us when you were singing at the shrine…”. I smiled and stroked Chuutaros hair when he uttered a pleasant purr. “ Please Shirasu call me _____”. He replied to my smile and started to clear the table.

“Mhhhhmmm don’t go…______-chan…”. Surprised by his faint mumbling I looked to the boy in my arms. He came across so peaceful that I couldn’t fight an upcoming yawn.

“ If you want to Shirasu will prepare a room for you…just for tonight…”. I raised my eye and looked at Tenka who slowly stumbled into the room. He darted a glance at Shirasu as he walked by always cautious not to wake his little brother. I slipped aside when Tenka fell next to me and the faint light of the candle betrayed his slight blush around his nose. “ That’s very kind of you and I’ll accept the offer for it’s already dark outside…”. Like a caring mother I placed my hand on Tenkas back preventing him from falling back. “ Yeah you’re right…a pretty girl like you should not wander around at this late hour…”.

I felt my cheeks heat up as Tenka bent in front of me and his royal hair with the red hair-ends fell into his face. His eyes searched my face and a grin played around his lips. “Come…I’ll relieve you of my brother…”. Carefully like he hasn’t drunken anything he laid his arms around his little brother and lifted him off me.

“ I have to admit…I’m a bit jealous…my sweet little Chuutaro in the arms of someone else... but it’s good for him I can feel it…arigato…”. I thought my face was gonna explode any minute as Tenka stood up with his brother in his arms and looked down to me with his gentle eyes. “ I’ll sent Shirasu after you…he’ll show you to your room…”. Shocked that I only stared at the man in front of me I took a deep bow and quietly thanked him but still loud enough for him to hear.
