Cyrus's POV:
Well this is unexpected...

I thought bewilderedly when all of us Karlheinz unexpectedly came to the mansion unannounced. Reiji then cleared his throat and talk to him.

"This is unexpected father, how come you didn't contact us before?" Reiji asked curiously as Karl grin politely at him.

"I apologized for coming here unannounced and I'm quite aware that all of you are going to school, but I need to have a quick discussion with all of you before you head off to school." Karl informed us.

"Do we have too?" Ayato asked rudely.

"Yes." Karl replied bluntly while holding a polite smile as he turns back to Reiji.

"Shall we?" He asked politely.

"Yes of course, please follow me to the living room." Reiji insisted as we all followed them to the living room so he can tell us something.

Meanwhile at the living room, everyone sat silently where things get really awkward for us since you know *coughs* *coughs* photo album.

Karl took a small sip of tea and gently puts the cup down to the table before he explains.

"Now I know you're wondering why I'm here unannounced and I'm going to explain to you all. So this might be an obvious question for all of you but do you remember your sister Runa?" Karl asked curiously which all of us froze when her name is brought up in the room and all of us can feel the awkward tension from the Sakamakis.

Shu remained emotionless but I can tell that he misses her, Laito remained silent about it, Ayato furrows his brow and grips his fists when thinking about Runa, Kanato grimace at her name while gripping his teddy bear tight, Subaru didn't respond and turn his back away from his brothers since he refuses to talk about his older sister, and Reiji on the other hand remains calm and adjust his glasses as he clears his throat to replied to his father.

"..Yes we remember her very well father, but may I ask why?" He politely questioned.

"Well I just discuss with your older sister at the Mukami mansion just a few hours ago about hosting a dinner party at your place." Karl kindly suggested.

"Wait what?!" Me and my friends shouted.

"WHAT?!?" The Sakamakis shouted in disbelief except for Reiji and Shu cuz they widen their eyes.

"What?! Runa is coming here tonight?!" Yui exclaimed in shock.

"Precisely." Karl replied with a nonchalant smile, but I couldn't stand it no longer and rise up from my seat with a serious gaze.

"Karl, I understand what you're doing, but I highly doubt that a family reunion will work." I bluntly but honestly assured him. Soon Kenta stood up from his seat to support my explanation.

"I agree, that's a terrible idea." Kenta agreed with me while standing beside me as Karlheinz forms a polite genuine smile but I can tell right away he's faking it.

"Oh so you knew?" He asked curiously acting like he's innocent but none of us aren't buying it as Hideo and Blake got up from their chairs as well.

"Duh! We went to the same school together!" Hideo rudely shouted.

"So why doing a family dinner if your family doesn't get along?" Blake asked curiously feeling unsure about this whole family dinner idea.

"Cuz he wants us to suffer." Subaru bluntly told us. Then out of nowhere Kanato rises up from the couch and lashes out.

"Shut up! All of you! What can you possibly know about how I feel?! The last thing I wanna hear is a filthy eyesore like you!" He snarled as he storms his way out of the room.

"What?! Why that little-"

"Devil kun, let me handle this...." Laito assured him he and Ayato walked out of the room to comfort their brother which kinda surprises us since we never seen the triplets acting so soft towards one another. In fact, I actually feel bad for the Sakamakis since they shared a fractured relationship with their older sister. Karl then sighed and turn back to us.

"My condolences, I knew Kanato would lash out like that." He politely stated.

"You don't say?" We sarcastically asked with deadpan looks.

"Anyway, that's all I could say to you all. Reiji please start organizing for the feast tonight once you get back. As for all of you, please be on your best behavior." Karl reassured us we all nod at him despite our reluctances.

Once Karl left the mansion, the rest of the Sakamaki and Yui left the room leaving me and my friends in the living room together. Luckily we're glad that they left since we started to discuss about family dinner, Karlheinz, and the Sakamakis' distant relationship with Runa.

"Jesus Christ guys, what was that guy thinking about having a dinner party tonight?!" He ranted.

"I have no idea, but I feel awkward around Karlheinz ever since we read his photo album." Blake stated.

"Yeeaaaah..." Kenta awkwardly said with a sweatdrop.

"Still, I can't believe Laito and Ayato would care for Kanato like that. I thought they were complete dickheads." Hideo bluntly stated.

"Me either! Even Reiji admits that he misses Runa last week!" Blake exclaimed.

"Wha?! He did?!?" Hideo shouted in disbelief.

"Even though it sounds uncharacteristic of him, I can't help but feel pity for the Sakamakis especially Kanato, he maybe a brat, but he's also vulnerable without his older sister being there for him..." Kenta honestly admit which we can agree with him.

"True." We all agreed with that.

"Sooo what? We just have to stay in the mansion to celebrate this sort of awkward family dinner reunion?" Hideo asked curiously.

"We don't have a choice Hideo, Karl brought us here to lived them remember? Besides I don't want an angry vampire lord punishing us." I stated which causes my friends to shiver at the thought of Karl harming us.

"Ugh I don't even get me started on that...." Blake shivered.

"To be honest, I rather stay out of trouble than being punished by the vampire lord himself." Kenta honestly stated.

"Yeah but still, Karl is a fucking idiot for sending us to lived with these six fuckheads!" Hideo rudely exclaimed.

"Dude, we have no choice!" Blake scold at him.

"Guys! Can we not fight here? We have school today and we can discuss later after school got it?" I told my friends which Hideo and Blake sighed.

"Ugh fine." Hideo begrudgingly accepts.

"Alright Cyrus, but...I'm wondering if those guys would ever get along with Runa again." Blake said with an unsure tone.

"We'll see what happens." I assured her where I immediately thought Runa for a minute.

Speaking of which I wonder how Runa is doing?...

Runa's POV:
While getting ready for school, I sat on the couch staring at the window thinking about what my father said to me a few hours ago.

Runa...I know you're uncomfortable about meeting your brothers, but I can assure you that this reunion will work. I promise you...

As I look back at my father's words, I sighed and hang my head low to the floor while having mixed feelings about meeting my brothers.

Will it work out?...Just how are you going to make this work father?

I thought curiously while having doubts about having dinner with my family.

"Runa?"

"Huh?" I soon raise my head up and turn my head to find Yuma in the living room looking concern.

"Oh hey Yuma."

"Hey." He then walks up to me and sat down next to me as he wrapped an arm around my shoulders.

"Feeling okay?" He asked while stroking my shoulders gently as I nod and grin at him.

"Sort of...I'm still unsure about meeting them.." I honestly told him while Yuma is comforting me.

"...If you feel like you don't wanna go then don't go, but if you do then we don't mind....." Yuma assured me which I slightly grin at him.

"Thanks Yuma, I'll keep that in mind." I told him as he kiss my cheek.

"I know you will." He sweetly cooed as I giggled and kiss him lightly on the lips. Yuma then push me down to the couch where we shared a tender kiss until we heard someone calling for us.

"Hey lovebirds stop filling each other up!"

We soon stopped kissing and stand up from the couch with large blushes on our faces when we turn to see Kou hollering at us with Ruki and Azusa standing along beside him. Yuma on the other hand is not amused with Kou killing the mood as he lets out an annoyed sigh.

"Worst timing ever Kou." Yuma grumbled as Kou forms a bright grin.

"Sorry for killing the mood, but we have to go to school now." Kou told us.

"Please save the intimacy for later because I do not want us to be late for school, so you better behave while you're there." Ruki informed us.

"Alright Ruki." I nodded understandably.

"Yeah, yeah." Yuma replied as well. Once we left the mansion, we went inside the limo where this day gets even more difficult for us.
