Takeshi Tanemura WIP's Story

Nakaba, as usual, was watching her daily dose of old plays n the tv in their japanese mansion. It strayed a bit far from the city, but they were still quite close. At the same time though, she was readings book about the structure of a butterflies body. Yes, it was a very strange book to read, but anything would do for her. Nakaba was quite a good multitasker, seeing how she watched the tv and read the book. She didn't have close ties with anyone, and she didn't talk very much either, so there wasn't much for them to do.

Ren glared at his sister who was just innocently watching and reading as if she had forgotten how she felt him alone. It angered him to see her so calm after all those years, but decided not to burst. Or at least, not yet.

Takeshi slid open the door to the japanese house and exclaimed, "I'm back!" A little while ago, he went out to get a pack of smokes, but apparently, he got more than that, "U-um, I also bought some food for dinner and drinks since we ran out." He said, nervously laughing as he placed the bags in the kitchen. Really, it seemed like more than just that.

As usual, Nakaba said the same silent greeting, "Welcome back..." She said with diverting her eyes or raising her voice for him to her.

"There's my buddy!" Ren said, slamming the door open and stating loudly, "Took you long enough! Did you go anywhere without us?" He looked at him suspiciously.

"O-of course not!" Takeshi answered back with a small sigh as he lit one of his smokes and emptied out the bags.

Fin`

For Fin this was home, this was the safest place to be and it would always be that way. how she ended up here was a very long strange bit of history. All the people here where family to her and she treated them hat way. She cared for all them no matter how flustering they got. In truth she did not mind being the only human in the house of sin.

Fin moved about the house she new where everything was so her sight stick was not really need. She Liked being around the others when the two lust where not trying to dress her like a doll. She moved to where the others where and smiled some at Takeshi. She had a hair brush in her hands. She was hopping Ren would let her play with his hair. She enjoyed that...if not she would go sit with Nakaba and here what was going on the T.V

---

Lights was in her room, as she always was. A long time ago she had discovered that if she didn't leave her room, she couldn't get angry at people, then she wouldn't break anything. And really, it was getting tiring to run out and buy a new whatever-she-breaks every time she breaks it. Instead she only came out when she needed too, preferring to stay in her room most of the time either reading or writing, sometimes playing guitar and very rarely singing. The only time she sang was at night, when she was sure no one was awake and was listening. That would be too embarrassing for her, many already teased her for her height and whatnot. There was no way she was going to give them yet another thing to tease her about, even if she did happen to be quite a good singer. A lot of the sins around here were cruel, whether you were good or not. Probably why they were called sins.

Though upon hearing a door open, she stopped typing and became eerily silent, listening for a voice. There! Takeshi had returned, and apparently Ren was out with him. Or at least he was with him now. Both boys were probably the only two she got along with here, and she loved both of them to death. Perhaps she loved Takeshi a slightly different way than she did Ren though, but she wasn't going to think about that. There was absolutely no way that she could feel anything other than friendship for the other sins here. She would just never allow herself too. It was silly, pathetic almost. Continuing to type, simply to distract herself, she probably wrote at least a page of nonsense she would end up deleting later on, when she was actually focusing.

Shutting her laptop, she stood and went over to the door. She paused at the door, hand on the doorknob. It was unlikely that she would be able to get very angry around Ren, he tended to always calm her down. With a sigh, she pushed the door open and went towards the voices of the two boys. They were in the kitchen, and Takeshi was smoking. No surprise, she thought, brushing past him and stealing the cigarette from his lips. "I keep telling you, if you keep smoking these things you're going to die, and no one is going to care, because it is your own fault," she told him, moving around the table and sitting herself next to Ren on one of the tall chairs surrounding the island. "Hi Renny," she offered a small smile, subconsciously pulled at the hem of her grey v-neck, the only thing she had on.

"Ah, Nakaba, I got you a new book!" Takeshi picked up a large and heavy book before placing it on the counter top and saying, "I know you like plays, and this is basically one that is written." He then noticed the other two girls come in and smiled cheerfully as he always did, "There you two are! I was wondering why it was so-" He then found the smoke in his mouth gone and looked at Lights and laughed, "I doubt it! I've been doing this for so long it's practically a hobby now, nothing's going to happen." He grabbed another from the carton her had just bought and lit it again.

Nakaba heard play, and book, in one sentence, and immediately got up from where she sat before walking over to the kitchen without any words and picking up the book she just got as a gift. Quietly, she said, "Thank you." And went back to reading and watching again like she always did.

Ren continued to glare at Nakaba as she came and went, but once she was out of sight, he resumed his natural personality, "Good morning, Lights-chan, Fin-chan~" He said leaning back in his chair a bit, being slightly childish, "Ah, Fin-chan, I need you to untangle my hair soon! Some little human kid spit this pink stuff in it when I was outside! And it's fall, Lights-chan should wear more clothing." He nodded, seeming a bit fatherly in a strange way.

Takeshi blew out a puff of smoke out the window before looking at Ren and asking with a frown, "You're really going to keep all that long hair...? Isn't it a bit difficult to manage?"

"Maybe." Ren shrugged and answered bluntly while Takeshi sighed again.

Fin

She smiled some and nodded. "it...it will take a little bit of work but I can get it out. We can do it know if you would like Ren, I dont mind" Fin had a kind voice that matched her small size. It was sweet and soft and some what musical. Fin moved a bit closer she learned how to read them so she had a some what good idea when to be around them or when to stay in her room. "Where is the gum so i can work on getting out." Fin moved to get some ice and the step stole. She knew gum was a pain but ice seemed to the the best to get it out. Some times heat and once in a blue she could just pick it out.

Fin smiled some at Takeshi even when he was at his worse she still cared for him and did not care what happened. He was still her friend no matter what and she would always treat him that way. Just like she did with the other Wrath, Lights. She had her moments that where not the best but that did not get to Fin.

Lights shook her head, frowning as she put out the cigarette she was currently holding and only barely holding herself back from snatching his new one. Not only was it bad for him, but she also couldn't stand it herself. The smell made her sick, to the point where she probably would have retreated back into her room if Fin hadn't arrived and she didn't want to make sure the Lusties didn't come and attack her. But she did care about Fin, which meant she was going to have to stay. Of course the boys could probably stick up for her, but she didn't trust anyone as much as she trust herself.

Offering the girl a small smile, she watched as the other began to work on Ren's hair. It was adorable, really, how she always wanted to play with his hair. Though it was quite fun, she had to admit. "I can't believe you got her a book though, and not me," she told Takeshi, pouting playfully. The act quickly disappeared though, she would just reread some of the books in her room. There were cases and cases of books, all read of course, but she had no problems reading a book more than once. Hearing Ren, she blushed a bit. "Pants are overrated," she mumbled, looking up at Takeshi with brown eyes that pleaded for him to not tease her for it.

"Yes please!" Ren sat patiently in his chair as his hair was brushed and combed, "Ah.. So they call that gum..." He murmured aloud, not knowing the name of the 'sticky pink thing' that was caught in his hair. If Fin wasn't around he'd probably have just cut it all off, most likely being very hesitant since he adored his long hair himself. He then heard Lights mumbling and turned his head slightly as he stuck out his tongue and chuckled, "Becareful when our two dear Lusts figure that out~"

"Ren..." Takeshi looked at him with a face that told him to be nice as he rolled his eyes and sat straight again. Takeshi then looked at Lights and rubbed the back of his neck anxiously as he stuttered, "W-well, I didn't mean to leave any one out... I-I promise next time I'll get something for you also, and everyone else! S-sorry..." He said, feeling a little guilty inside now that he recognized he had only bought one gift for once person and not the rest. Takeshi was too kind, and even this convinced him that he was being rude or mean.

Nakaba peered her head out from the corner. The play was being interrupted by a set of commercials, so she spent that time listening to their conversation. It probably could have been called eaves dropping, but Nakaba had to do something. In a silent voice, she said, "Lights can have it if she wants it..." Nakaba held out the book with shaking hands since it was quite heavy also. It was nice for her, but Nakaba was never a selfish person.

Ren, once seeing his sister enter the room and speak made him feel a bit distrusted as he turned his head the other way and blocked out her voice, waiting for her to leave again.

Fin


It did not take her long to get the gum put of Ren's hair this let her work with it with grate easy. She smiled as she ran the brush throw his long hair. She took her time getting ever tangle out. She brushed it until it was shiny. She even rub his temples making it as enjoyable as she could. Her fingers worked with easy as she braided it. This took a little more time due to the fact she did a french braid. She liked how the lay, even with being blind she still did a wonderful job. Once done she gave it a little tug that was very playful. "There you go all fixed" She smiled at Ren.

She blinked looking at Takeshi. "I dont need anything I have a home and the people here as a family....so dont worry your self about it." Fin never asked for anything nor did she really want anything. Rin was very simple when it came down to it. Just being around the people here worked for her it was the perfect gift. They took better care of her than her own flesh and blood ever did. "again please don't worry about" Takeshi protected her more times than not from both of the Lusts so to her she felt like she owed him over anything else.


She wished Ren and Nakaba would get along it bugged her how they treated one another but she never said a word about it. That was not her place and that would never be her place to say something about it.

Lights cheeks flushed brighter red, yet again pulling at her grey shirt. Even though she knew Ren was just playing with her, there was no doubt in her mind that the Lust's would actually be interested to hear her opinion on pants. If they came in here right now, she would never live that down. It would be so terrible, she wouldn't come out of her room for at least a week. Except for at night, if she snuck out to get food or something. But other than that, there was no leaving.

The way Takeshi seemed to almost stick up for her, though, flattered her. Did he really care?, or maybe he just felt bad for her pleading with him. It was always so difficult to read the people- sins- around here. Like they all locked their emotions inside their head and didn't let anyone else in on them. It made it really difficult to know how to act around the others. Well, other than the basics. You have to act serious around the Lust's or they would try and sleep with you, had to be calm around her and Takeshi or they might rip your heads off, definitely had to be selfless around the Greed's or they would start talking about how much they wanted, and so much more.

"Oh no, Takky, don't feel bad. I was only playing with you," she reached forward to lightly touch his hand. If it was anyone else, she would have felt hurt for them thinking that she was actually being serious. But Takeshi was always so amazingly kind, even if he knew she was joking it was likely he would still feel bad. When Nakaba came out and offered her the book too, she shook her head. "Again, thank you, but I was just kidding," she politely denied, offering another small smile.

Looking back at Ren and Fin, she was slightly shocked at how quickly his hair had seemed to get done. Reaching out to lightly brush her fingers over the braid, she grinned. "That is amazing Fin, I wish I knew how to do that."

[ Ah, guys, I've gotta go for the night. :c Wait for Lights? :3 ]

Ren chuckled a bit more at Lights, and when Fin announced that his braid was finished, he reached back and felt the pattern. It seemed different from the other times he would braid it, resulting in a messy clobber of hair, but whenever Fin did his hair, it always seemed to have turned out right and even better each time, "It's great! Thanks again, Fin-chan~" He giggled like a little boy while looking at his braid carefully, he then said, "Lights-chan could always asked Fin-chan to teach you. Fin-chan could probably be a hair dresser one day." Ren said as he dug through the food in the bag and took out an apple, deciding it would be all he would eat for the day.

Takeshi looked at both Fin and Lights nervously, then looked down at the hand she was gripping and made a natural smile as he said, "No, I'm going to buy something for everyone next time. I'd still feel guilty inside even if you told reassured me you didn't want anything." He laughed a bit as he took off the green military hat off his head and placed it onto the counter top as he also put out the smoke. Takeshi knew when his limit was to smoking each day. It wasn't very healthy still, but it was better than doing it all day long every day.

Nakaba slowly pulled back the book and nodded to Lights's words before sitting down in front of the tv again and reading. The play finally finished, saying it was going to be continued in two hours, so in the mean time, she began to read the book she got, being much more interested in this one than the last few she read. All of a sudden, she felt something tug in her chest as she immediately stood up and walked towards the door.

"You're going out?" Takeshi asked, wanting to keep an eye and watch over everyone that lived in their traditional japanese mansion.

"My job." She said and closed the door behind her while walking off to her own certain destination. Sins had their own reaper duty to do from time to time. Nakaba knew by instinct that someone was suffering from a large amount of laziness and who's death was coming so soon. It was a sins job to do this when needed, and Nakaba usually had the most because of so many people's procrastination.

Ren watched as his sister left the room. A wave of relief came over him as he let out a small and quiet sigh of relief.

Fin


Blinked a little "i...dont think people would trust me with being blind" Fin had a point with out sight so many saw her as helpless. Here was a little different. "I am not that good any ways there are people who are way better than me" Fin moved to put the stole way. She had homes for the things she used the most so she could find them when she needed them. She moved o take a set at the counter, her long silver hair covering her silver eyes.

"Takeshi dont worry about, I really dont need anything." She was looking down at this point. Fin never really knew how to react or really take a gift it was harder for her, but none the less she never tossed things back in to peoples faces that was never ok. In Truth Takeshi could give her a hug and she would be fine with that as a gift. Yes she might twitch some but it would have been an ok gift. Fin moved her hands to the counter it did not take long for her to locate his hat and pulled it on. She always gave it back but know and than she did this. It was her way of being childish, thing was with her black dress and fingerless gloves it worked all together nicely.




**I plan to photoshop this latter so Flaky has silver hair and eyes like Fin**

"Guess who's backkkk~." Rena said bursting through the front door. The woman had just got off from her bartending job. The job suited her almost too perfectly. She met new people everyday, flirted, and even had some 'fun'. She adored it. "And guess who I brought with me!" Rena said pointing her thumb to the new comer in the house. Kojima looked up from the book he was reading at being mentioned. The teen examined everyone in the room, they all looked pretty decent. As he continued to look at everyone, Rena rudely nudged him with her elbow in his side. "Go on." she said coyly. Not really knowing what to say, Kojima said the simplest thing he could. "Hi." Rena rolled her eyes and glomped the teen. "This here you guys is my adorable baby brother, Kojima. He had been living by himself for a while, so I decided he should come and live with the rest of his fellow sins. You hear that Ko-ko? You won't be a loner anymore!"

At this point, Kojima's whole face was red. His sister had hugged him AND called him Ko-ko, IN PUBLIC. She knew she was only supposed to call him that in private. But the woman couldn't help herself, it was too much fun getting him all embarassed. Rena stopped hugging him and stood next to him. The two almost looked identical, with their coal black hair and golden eyes. Except that Rena's hair was much longer than Kojima's, who's hair stopped at his shoulders. "Now Kojima, I expect you to go and talk to the others, tell them what sin you are and stuff. I'm going to fix myself something to eat."

And with that she started walking towards the kitchen. Hearing foot steps behind her, she turned around, grabbed her brother's arm, and dragged him back to the living room. Why did his sister insist on him talking with these people? He was not in the mood to talk, he wanted to continue reading his book. Rena started off towards the kitchen again when she looked back and saw that Kojima was following her again. She quickly took out her gun and pointed it at his forehead. "Sit the fuck down or I'll shoot you." Rena said seriously. Kojima ran and sat back in his sit. The golden-eyed woman blew him a kiss and skipped to the kitchen. The teen felt like dying right about now.

Fin~


The moment Fin heard Rena and the fact she was home was no good this meant it was time to go hide. This meant it was time to go find a place to hide or go lock her self in her room to keep away from Rena. She did not mind Rena it was all the touching that she did not like. Fin slowly moved from the stole she was sitting on leaving Takeshi hat behind. She moved down the long hall going to her room. It was nice that it was in the main floor she she could get around with a little more easy.


Fin's room was simple to the point it was a little sad. You would never know that it belonged to someone who was seventeen. It looked liked it belong to someone who was sixty or older in all truth. A bed with the plainest sheets close to the window neatly made. A desk with a strange computer that had a key board with strange dots. Head phones so she could play back what she wrote or know what song she was picking. 13 Books with barail(sp), even with out her sight she enjoyed reading. Everything was so neat and tidy and in its place. Even her clothing was organized and had its own places.

"Ah, Fin, where are you-" Takeshi stopped mid way in his sentences and sighed, "Right..." He knew how much both Lusts teased her, and honestly, if it was just him and the other teen in the room, she would have been fine. It was Ren who was the trouble maker, always deciding when he should tell them where she hid, or when he should not. His intentions were always unknown and this made things a bit difficult with the Lusts around.

Ren didn't turn his head when the door opened. Instead, since he already knew who it was, he exclaimed, "Welcome back Rena!" He wasn't aware that her brother had some until his sniffed the air and caught a sniff of something familiar. He turned to Kojima and studied him for a moment before running up to him and putting an arm around his shoulder, "Look at that! Another demon! Welcome to the family kid!" He said, knowing he was the elder out of the two, and perhaps even the eldest out of them all.

Already far from the house, Nakaba was walking through the city, looking for her target. These people were usually in those tall buildings, not doing there work. Her job was simple, find them, grab them, and push them out the window. It seemed like a terrible and horrifying thing to do, but if someone who acted too much like their sin, who is human, they would have to die, making it seem like suicide so the Sin wouldn't get in trouble. She walked a few more paces until her head turned to a tall business building, "Found it."

Why am I always falling ill? It doesn't make sense ... Sins aren't supposed to grow sick ... It just isn't fair ... Why are the other sins able to prance around and do things, while I'm either stuck her resting or going to school now-a-days? And why do they all pay some much attention to Fin? She's human. They never pay attention to me ... It just isn't fair ...

Carina gazed down with dead eyes at Takeshi as he approached the house. She sat on the windowsill and leaned against the side of the window, her lips parted slightly in laziness, her eyes dark with anger and jealousy as she heard everyone on the floor below her laughing and enjoying themselves, thanking Takeshi for the presents and teasing and playing around with each other.

I hate her ... I really do ... Besides, what kind of stupid name is Fin? She's always walking around, fawning for the other Sin's and the Demon's attention, and yet they still give it to her! Who cares if she's blind? She isn't helpless! She's more then capable of taking care of herself, and yet they give her all of their attention, all the time. What about me? I'm sick at least once a week for several days, yet they don't care.

They don't care.

They don't care.

She turned away from the window and gripped a vase, which sat on a stand beside her, before chucking it at a wall angrily. It shattered into several thousands of pieces, one glancing off the floor and brushing against her cheek, causing a small, thin line of blood to trickle down her cheek.

I hate it here. I really do ...

Tears bloomed in her eyes and she turned away from her room, rubbing furiously at the tears, sniffling a little. I hate it here.

After finally being able to straighten and gain control of herself, she shoved down the emotions in her throat and made her way out of the room and down to the rooms below. She ignored everyone as she walked through the main room, stopping just inside the kitchen. She was hungry, and yet she couldn't bring herself to eat.

Maybe if you were nicer to everyone, they would try to include you in things ...

Shut up, Flora. It's none of your business.

But Carina ...

No! Shut up and don't you dare try to-

It was too late, however, and Flora jumped forward, shoving Carina back. The normally dark brown, almost red colored eyes, shifted to a light blue, and the girl turned, peaking back into the main room. When she saw Takeshi, she darted forward and threw her arms around him, more then happy that he was back.

"Takeshi!" she cried, her voice slightly higher then normal. Tears gathered in her eyes and she sniffled. "You're home," she smiled.

Lights frowned, watching Fin retreat into her room. The Lust's shouldn't treat her the way they did, and Ren should never tell them where she was when she actually was able to avoid the idiots. But alas, they were all blatantly stupid, and there was nothing she was ever going to be able to do about it. Not that she really wanted to change anything about it, sometimes it could provide great entertainment for the other Sins, including herself. At the same time she didn't like it, couldn't they all bother someone that wasn't Fin?

Rena entered the kitchen and Lights prepared to leave, removing her hand from Takeshi's and offering him an apologetic smile. "You really don't have to get us anything, but if it makes you feel better," she gave a soft laugh. "And hey, next time you go out, tell me. I swear I haven't left this stupid house in forever." Standing, she quickly retreated to the living room, where she heard Kojima and Ren talking. Or more like Ren teasing the poor child. Child, he looked older than she did.

When she entered the living room, she found her brother entering from the other side of the room. "A new person!", Jamie yelled excitedly, bouncing towards the two before deciding they would probably think he was crazy. He stopped short, quickly moving back and dropping into an armchair. "Hi!, I'm Jamie. We'll get along, well, unless you're like your sister," as he said this, Lights moved over to sit on the side of his chair.

Kojima was very uncomfortable to say in the least. A young man with long hair had came and put his arm around his shoulder to what seemed to be a welcoming gesture. "Actually, I'm a Sin, Greed to be exact." He said following Rena's orders. Another young man came and introduced himself as Jamie, saying that the two of them should get along unless he's like his sister. Kojima frowned. Was Rena that bad? He knew she had a problem with being caring and all, and that little obsession of hers. But minus those flaws, she's an okay person. "Ah, hello. I'm Kojima, and is Rena that bad?" the teen asked. Just as his question was asked, Rena walked out of the kitchen and sped towards Ren knowing that he would tell her where Fin is. "Oh Renny Ren, mind telling me where Fin is? I promise I'll return the favor." she said winking at him.

"It seems as if everyone coming out all of a sudden-" Takeshi's sentence was interrupted when he found a pair of arms wrapped around his stomach, he turned around and smiled at Flora, "Yes, I'm back." Unlike most people, Takeshi was probably the person who would least get embarrassed. It'd take a miracle, and be a miracle if that were to happen. He reached his hand out and put back on his green hat again. He felt the terrible urge of his again as he reached into his pocket, and lit his third smoke. It was a horrible habit, but it reminded him of his past so he couldn't drop it for anything.

Ren's eyes shifted past each person who just entered the room. To Kojima, he let out a small sigh and said, "Right right... I guess I have to babysit one more person then..." Ren wasn't very fond of his babysitting job, but didn't mean it in a rude way, "And there's so many of you..." He muttered, also not liking groups very much, but enjoying to be around people he knew the most, meaning his family in that old mansion. He then heard Rena called out to him and thought about it. His answers to that question were always unpredictable, and usually, he'd easily tell her where the human was hiding, but he giggled and held a finger to his lips, "Sorry, but I'm in debt to that little girl, just this one time. You should have came before she offered to brush my hair~!" He teased, sticking out his tongue. It really was true, if Rena had come before hand, he wouldn't have been in debt to Fin, and probably would have told her where she was hiding without hesitation, but unfortunately, "You were just a bit too late~"

Nakaba had this strange ability where she could just blend in with any crowd, despite her outfit and unusual appearance. It wasn't exactly an "ability" as in power, but it just naturally happened, and even she didn't know the reason behind it, but it helped her a lot when taking out a sinful person of her own. She entered the building, no one noticing her as she headed to the top floor where the lazy man she spotted would commit his "suicide."

Touya made hes way down the stairs and into the first floor, "Ah, Hello everyone! Good to see that the majority of people are here!" he said as he entered the room. He was a little dissapointed to see that Fin wasn't in the room, but he wasn't going to let that ruin his mood. "Oh! Takeshi you're back!" Touya said rather cheerfully, he was excited to see that Takeshi was back, even though they didn't know each other very well.

He ran up to Takeshi and put his arm around Takeshi's neck and leaned closer to him and whispered into his ear, "Next time you leave can I come? I saw this cute dress that I think would look great on Finny!" with that said he withdrew and acted like he said nothing of importance. He then noticed that Rena had returned, "Hellloo Rena~ good to see you're back as well!" Maybe Fin went and hid since she came back..,he thought, hes eyes wandered across the room for a moment until he noticed a boy that looked the age of fifteen or sixteen "Oh, and who might that be?" he asked rather curious of what had happened while he was in his room. 'Now were would my litte doll be hiding this time..'
