A/N:So this is a request for Koko-chan( @xramen )I'm soooooooooooo soooooooooooooorry I took so long! Thank you for requesting and please request again :) I'll write this one soon I promise. If you don't like this, please tell me, I'll rewrite it!:)
I'll insert myself in it as a sidecharacter named Yume, if you want to enter the story too then you can by just replacing Yume with it, though I'm warning you I'm a weirdo, so yeah ;)...

Okay let's do this!

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

It was year 13(1881) of Meiji Era in Japan and the Kumo household had finally passed the hard times. So had Shiga, the once cloudy prefecture of the land of sun, Nihon. Days were now filled with joy and people weren't fed with hope only anymore.

And so on a certain day, in a certain market, our two certain characters make this certain story's start.

"Fool, that won't do! How can you possibly use that? You said you wanted to help but you're causing us trouble!"

" Who did you call a fool? Fight me now and here if you can coward!"

"We're in a market green-airhead!"

"Shut up, Kumo bastard!!!!!!"

"Watch your dirty mouth when you're using my family's name!"

"Whatever!"

And with that the fight began.

" I'll take these," Nishiki said smiling while holding out the vegetables she had chosen,"Shall we leave now Soramaru-sama?"she was having a great time but the smile left her face when her eyes took a glance around the place.

"Don't worry, Soramaru-sama, I'll finish him off quickly! I don't carry a kunai around for nothing!"

"Nishiki! No! You aren't supposed to do that! He's a friend!" Sora said worriedly.

"Uh, okay..." Nishiki tilted her head then stared at the ground smiling and blushing,"if Sora-sama says so..."she even began digging the ground with her foot a little, too.

"You owe me that green head!" Sora whispers to Takeda.

"Shut the he--, I mean I love you my dear friend," was what Taketake-kun spit out when his field of vision was invaded by Nishiki's kunai and killer face.

"Eeeeewwww! Gay love! Nevermind that! any kind of love! just eeeewww! love is gross! Not before my innocent 14 years young eyes!"

"Yume-chan, it's years old, not--"

"Shut up you sword idiot! First I'm way too young and cool to be true and second...I'm Yume-sama for you two stupid idiotic foolish fools!!!!"then Yume averted her attention to Nishiki,"Nishiki-senpai, how've you been? You're accompanying the idiots too? By the way what did you guys come here for?"

"Soramaru-sama is gonna help the cook of this evening's western ball with the Japanese food the foreigners wanted to have served there,too," Nishiki explained.

"Huh? I'm here because of the ball, too. I'm looking for new fabric for the new dresses I was asked to make for the special occasion. But I don't understand. Sora's food sure is good, great actually but why him? Why not a ramen master or something like that?" Yume's face was wearing an expression of confusion and suspicion.

"Well,huh...,"Sora's voice and expression showed how awkward he felt so easily,"Aniki,"that idiot he thought to himself," broke the chef's arms when he said that niichan couldn't possibly eat that much..., so he made me help out..."

"Oh my, my dear poor cousin! So that stupid kid messed up again? Well let's head home now, I kinda missed you three idiots these past weeks,"Yume said.

"Where were you, Yume-chan, I mean Yume-sama ?"

"None of your business, you lowlife, even though I just had a short vacation in Kyoto,"either way she still spilled out where she was.

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

-At the Kumo shrine-

"What? You're kidding right, Tenka ?" Sora shouted extremely annoyed.

"No," such a simple answer left the big brother's lips.

"First you get all of us help with cooking for the ball! And now I have to attend, too???Are you crazy???"

-Flashback-

"Stupid and funny cousin, we're home!" Yume shouted slamming the door open for no apparent reason.

"Welcome, welcome, now you can all help Sora cook the 147 dishes he has to since you all hang out so much,"he said that smiling.

"147? Aniki you said it was only a few!!!!"

"I did say that huh? I can't remember clearly."

"You! BAKA ANIKI!!!!!!"a Taurus is always down on earth, being an earth sign itself, they also are good at cooking and they are not quick to anger, such as our Sora, but when you cross the line...a Taurus makes the whole town, wait the whole prefecture or province go deaf...

"Wait, Sora,"Yume said stopping him with an arm,"lets get him help out too," she smiled,her smile that of a devil's.

"So, Sora is gonna do the hardest and most delicate parts and show the kitchen division what to do, which by the way consists of Takeda and Kiiko-San,who we humbly apologize for dragging into this mess but it's her future husband's mess anyway. Nishiki and Chutaro will form the market division and last but of course not least me and Gerokichi-ponponpon-Tanuki-sama, are forming the clothing division, Tenka is of course gonna help by letting us all kick him when we're upset with the result or just stressed out. Thank you, Tenka! Tying you up like a box sack was my brilliant idea. Everyone got their part? Good, lets start then!!!" Yume said acting bossy like always.

-Flashback ends-

"You have to go Sora, it wasn't my fault our stupid cousin there threw me in Lake Biwa after saying I was really loud and noisy, I didn't want to get the flu either. Anyway you should go to this kind of gatherings more often so you won't feel as awkward as your adorable niichan feels while there,"Tenka said the last part smirking.

"You're right,"huh, Sora is backing down on this?!,"but anyway...Take that YOU BASTARD!!!!!!!"

"Great! That makes it twice! You idiots throw me twice in this lake and want me to attend...Hmph!"Tenka turned his back to his brother and the others but...

"Who made up such a sweet lie for you, Tenka? We're gonna attend as hell, it was actually a plan. All after all you are way too old now. Just stay home and read a book and drink tea near the chimney or something, I don't care. The point is that such important matters must be passed to us, the new wonderful and awesome generation. Wait only I'm wonderful and awesome in this generation, the others are weirdos,"Yume with that said layed on the grass with a poker face, while her 'weirdo' friends surrounded her,"Hey no offense guys, it's just the truth..."

Then she clapped her hands and hopped up.

"Alright! Let's get this done! We cooked and now it's time to get ready!"she said in her favorite bossy tone.

"Sora, do you own a tuxedo?" she suddenly asked.

"Huh? No,why?"he said caught off guard but quickly came to understand,"Oh but aniki has one!"

"No way that'd fit you!"

"Why?"

"Look at you, you are so much shorter."

"See, I'm the coolest of all Soramaru!"Tenka said finally getting out of the lake after being ignored for so long.

"Much shorter, and much moooooooooore slimmer!"take dat from Yume,Tenka.

"Nobody loves me...Uwaaaaaa!"

"Stupid aniki don't act like you are crying!" Soramaru, Takeda and Yume said in a choir, I wonder why?

"Back to the point. I can make some fixes on it so it'll fit you, but since Sora, you are the only sane cousin I have then I'll make you one. But that makes four outfits to sew! I gotta work!" Yume said and ran off.

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

"And we're done!"

"Thank you, Yume-chan!"

"No need for that Nishiki-chan and I'm glad you like it! I have to admit, I did a great job! You look so beautiful!!!! You're really pretty normally but with that you're gonna totally knock oblivious Soramaru's socks off! Wait, the japanese socks have another name but whatever!"

Nishiki was wearing an elegant purple and white gown with white and lavender roses linings in the bust and a purple velveteen skirt end(sorry about this, i hope you understand it, i just cant remember the english word for the moment:( ) The back of the dress was opened til her waist heart shaped. Her hair were done in an elegant western bun and her shoes were a color of velvet and to top this off, she was wearing the traditional japanese hairpin, Sora got for her for her last birthday.

"You Fumas surely have such a nice appearance, huh? " Yume said smiling at her warmly.

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

"My my, even Take nose looks good in western clothing, huh?" Tenka said and then sneezed.

"Nah, even though he looks better than usual he still has a terrible nose..."

"Shut up you two idiots!"Takeda shouted.

"My my shouting to a lady isn't something a gentleman would do, ye know...,"Yume said,"but lets see if Sora finally finished, my God, Nishiki was faster than him..."

"Chutaro!" Sora shouted apparently annoyed of his little brother's act. So what had Chuta done? He gave Sora a good kick throwing him on the floor, that after being ordered by his king, aniki.

"Good job, Chutaro! Revenge is sweet!"Tenka said sipping his cup of tea and then sneezing again.

"Wow, you two are officially my favorite couple! So good and cute together!!!"Yume said and turned around,"What Take,ye jealous?! Who knows, maybe a blind girl will pass by today and notice you somehow, now now, don't pout, that gesture is meant only for Tenka and me,right cousin?"

"C-course, apchuuuu!"he sneeze again.

"Guys, I'll come with you now that I finished work, I wanna take a look at the western party.Don't worry, I won't disturb any of you, cause Chutaro and I will be silent. Right Chutaro?" she smiled and winked at him.

-----------------•----------------•------------------

"Pardon, sorry, huh, sorry again," he sighed exhausted of his mistakes, the second son of the Kumo family was having a really hard time at this event, everyone was wearing unknown clothes, eating unknown food and also drinking unknown drinks for him. He sighed heavily again, but all after all it was his duty. Strangely he found himself at the balcony, so he just decided to reflect on his life there while watching the stars. He sighed, again...

"I once heard that when you sigh you let go of happiness," a soft, feminine and really familiar voice said next to him.

"Hmm, Nishiki-san, I thought you were asked to dance by some guys over there, why did you leave?"Sora said surprised.

In response she blushed and hid her face from him by turning her head the other way.

Meanwhile, in the decorative bushes of the balcony two unwanted even though invited people were watching them.

"That idiot! He should ask her to dance with him! I now understand why cousin Tenka sent us here, right Chutaro?Hey don't play with Gerokichi! Focus so you want fall, don't forget we're hanging from the balcony, if our hands slip we're done for! Too late,"she said when Chutaro fell from bush to bush.

"Aniki!"the kid on the ground suddenly shouted.

"Shut up!"mouthed Tenka and Yume, who were both hanging on the balcony.

"Wait a second, when on earth did you arrive here?"

"Well, since I'm the most awesome person ever, I~~ Ouch Ouch! Kiiko be more gentle with my hair!"

"Kiiko-san, you here too?"Chutaro and Yume blurted out astonished.

"It seems that ever since we were engaged I have to clean up his mess. Have fun kids!"she said smiling gently while Tenka's 'Ouch-es' could still be heard in distance.

Now turning our attention to what was happening to the only sane Kumo male...who still was quite stupid but that's another matter ;P...

"Nishiki-san, care to dance?" whoa!!! Did we hear this clearly, yay, he is blushing!!!!

"Huh, oh sure," she shyly held out her hand.

Man as slow as these two are in romantic matters it'll take years for them to really advance, but they have their own pace...and it seems they're happy like that.

-The end-
(Not for our other characters night though;) Yume and Chuta fell and disturbed our couples 2357953th dance, Takeda tripped over a scared Gerokichi and got wine all over his tuxedo. Sousei got a girlfriend as it seems ;D, Tenka invited Takamine over and they got drunk while complaining they were so old, Kiiko had to carry Tenka over to his room and Takamine to his house, but she gave up and threw him in the shrine's front yard. All in all, it was a crazy night, mostly because these idiots are crazy and this time, they laughed, cried, smiled and suffered under the moon's light on the clear skies.)
