I follow him.
Nicholas looks at the two people walking down the street and then at the 5 people in the room.
"So I'm the least favourite?" Dexter asks sitting on the desk chair.
"Weren't you always?" Sage asks with mockery.
"Yah!" Dexter stands up.
"Sit down!" Christopher growls. Dexter sits back down.
"I'm still so jealous of how she can get every guy wrapped around her fingers" Zane says sadly, playing with the end of his dress.
"We have to leave by tonight. Henry might be getting onto us" Felix says.
"Yes" the others agree.
"Make sure you take good care of Sis" Sage says. (He may not seem like it but he dotes on me a lot).
"Don't worry I will" Nicholas assures him. "Don't forget to update me if things go wrong."
The boys say a couple more things before leaving.
"Having brothers is a hassle" Nicholas sighs before grabbing clothes and hopping into the shower.

Reiji and I reach the nearby supermarket. I grab a trolley and follow Reiji who is now moving on his own.
"What should we get?" I ask Reiji since he loves cooking.
"Let's get some vegetables first and then get meat" Reiji suggests.
"Okay" I nod my head and follow him to the vegetable section. We grab a ton of vegetables before going to the meat section.
"Which one?" Reiji mumbles to himself.
"Lamb, chicken, beef, fish and PORK!" I exclaim in delight at the sight of pork.
"Such a foodie" Reiji mutters shaking his head.
We pick out some seasoning and sauces before choosing junk food.
"You should try this" I call ot to Reiji. I take another bite of the free food.
"No thanks" Reiji declines.
"It's your lost" I shrug my shoulders and take his share. I push the trolley to the front of the supermarket.
"Why are you here?"
I turn around and see Quantum and Quasar. "Why are you here?" I repeat their question.
"Shopping" all three of us respond.
"Are these the friends you were talking about?" Reiji asks putting milk into the fully loaded trolley.
"Mhm" I reply while smiling at him.
"Who are you?" Quasar asks sizing Reiji up.
"I'm Reiji an old friend of Chikara" Reiji holds out his hand which the Tanaru twins don't shake.
"Don't worry we won't disturb you" I grab Reiji's arm and walk away.
"Are you having a fight with them?" Reiji asks.
"They found out that I'm Nicho's sister" I answer at the check out.
"Oh" Reiji says before paying for everything.
I smile smugly since I didn't lose a cent. I grab the bags and walk out of the supermarket with Reiji in tow.
We walk back to Nicholas's villa to see 6 cars coming out of. I wave to the cars knowing who's in them. The cars honk and continue driving.
"Nicho you liar" I curse making my way up Nicholas's driveway.
We put the groceries in the kitchen and sit on the sofa and after 5 minutes of chatting Nicholas walks into the room with only pyjama pants on.
"How tall are you?" He asks.
"4'9 last time I checked which was a few months ago" I answer him while checking my nails.
"Oh" Nicholas says. "Our little Adira is growing up so fast!" He exclaims standing up and rubs my head.
I slap his hand away with a cold face. I place my hands on my knees and open my legs a little making it very unlady-like. I lean over with a serious face on. "Now why was the others here?" I ask without any emotions.
"W-who?" Nicholas asks. His eyes flicker with surprise but disappears as quickly as it appeared but not quick enough.
"Chris, Felix, Dexter, Zane, Sage" I say every word slowly and clearly.
"Can you close your legs first it's very unlady-like" Nicholas says. I put my legs together (Damn him it made me feel very badass). "They want your stay to go smoothly without anyone finding out" Nicholas says honestly.
I lean back on the sofa.
"Not going to ask why?" Nicholas pays close attention to my every move afraid that I'm angry.
"Well, it's less work for Oreo" I say tilting my head with a genuine smile.
Nicholas stands up and goes to the kitchen. I soon follow him with a sigh.
"Are you sure you're alright?" Nicholas asks quietly.
"Why do you ask?" I ask back with a bright smile but my eyes flash with unease.
"There's a few cracks in your mask" Nicholas says cutting vegetables.
The smile and confident look disappears and is replaced by a uneasy, expressionless look. "Wow you do have a great eye" I say mockingly but other than mock my voice is totally devoid of any emotions.
"When you mentioned Orion your face showed worry" Nicholas replies with a gentle smile.
"It's been 3 weeks since we last talked and we haven't came face to face in 4 months" I sigh.
"I''m really jealous of your relationship" Nicholas whines.
"You and Raphael has a similar relationship" I tell him. Just then the door bell rings. "I'll get it" I offer seeing as Nicholas is busy and Reiji is probably reporting how I'm going to Orion.
I walk to the door and open it. My face freezes when I see the people outside.
"What are you doing here?!"
"Seriously you are just everywhere" I exclaim.
"We should've known by the sign" Quantum says face-palming himself.
"Who is it?" Reiji walks out from the living room with his phone pressed to his ear.
I smile evilly when I see he's still on the phone. I sprint at lightning speed towards him. Noticing my smile he was anticapating this to happen so Reiji tries to step back but my speed is frightening. I snatch the phone out of his hands and speed upstairs.
"I, Adira Yukimura command Reiji to entertain the guest" I command rushing up the steps. I speed into the first room and lock the door behind me.
"B*tch" Reiji curses at my back.
"I heard that!" I shout from the second story.
Reiji leads Quantum and Quasar into the living room. "Sorry about that. You see her brother is on the line and they haven't talked in a while" Reiji smiles and apologizes.
"Don't worry we're used to it" Quasar reassures.
After talking to Orion I walk downstairs. "B*stard hung up on me!" I curse walking down the stairs. I flop onto the sofa, cross my arms and pout.
"Don't worry Adi. When summer holidays come you can always visit him or we could go and kidnap him" Nicholas suggests placing food on the dining table.
"Thanks but no" I say.
"So who are you to Chikara-chan?" Quasar asks Reiji.
"Every Renata princess gets a royal guard and Reiji's mine" I answer for Reiji.
"What she said" Reiji agrees.
The twins just nod and eat the food.
"So have you finished thinking?" I ask curiously.
The twins don't say anything and continue to eat. When they finish they wipe the corner of their mouths and look down at me from across the table.
"We have made our decision" the two state together.
I lean forward with curiousity.
"We have decided that our view of you won't change" the say.
"So we're still friends and you're not going to run away like cowards?" I ask.
"Yes we are still friends and way to be straight-forward about it, we won't run away like cowards" Quantum and Quasar smile down at me.
"Thank god she has normal-ish friends" Nicholas exclaims patting his chest in relieve.
I look up at him in confusion. "What do you mean by that?" I ask.
"Well At, Ari, Lan and Kill* are all assassin and has tons of siblings so having the purifiers as friends is a good thing" Nicholas explains.
"Oh, I suppose you're right" I say thinking about my 4 bestfriends. "Wait what about Oreo?" I ask.
"What about him?" Nicholas asks.
"He's an assassin too" I remind him.
"Yes but he's our brother" Nicholas pats my head.
"Yes" I nod my head.
I then change the topic to the survivor challenge. We spend the rest of the night talking about strategies.
