#they have three older brothers. Toshirou Ichiru and Misato.

[grey-eyed-menace]

The Ubuyashiki family, by virtue of my overactive imagination, has come to the point that, due to reasons, no longer has contact with the maternal side of their family.

(By comparison, paternal wise, Mio and Yuzuru were dropped off at the Ubuyashiki's house around the same time Diavolo realized Lilith had human descendants still around, and subsequently crashed the twins fourteenth birthday.

It was also around this time, that in a completely unrelated manner, Arthur and Rupert got the shit beat out of them for hiring a Hell-Born Witch without informing Eirny or Bridget. Said witch might have been an overachieving Urisha Matthews, but I digress.

Schematics, yeah?)

Now, this has nothing do with a childhood incident, and everything more to do with Kunugi Akemi being legally dead on paper, and Ubuyashiki Ushio still receiving birthday presents from cousin Mizuki with incredibly cryptic notes.

Anyway.

Branching from this, there's a damn good reason Kunugi Akemi is dead.

First and foremost, Grandma Izumi and Granpa Sorahiko definently already have their favorites amongst Ushio's brood, and they're barely aware they exist.

(For the record, it's Sora and Minato, who fufill their idea of gender roles in a traditional household quite well.

...they do think Nagisa is absolutely delightful, however.)

Moving on, the Kunugi household, as whole, even today, isn't really a place for children to grow up in. Aiko and Sosuke have definitely taken after their parents in the raising children department, Himiko pretends that she's perfectly independent, 2hen she's not, and, again, on paper, Akemi's dead, cousin Mizuki, with his kids, Kiyomizu, Mikado, and Makoto, are a completely different batch of crazy...

(All of the Kunugi and Ubuyashiki family are named after anime/game characters, yes, hush, points to those who guess.)

So, yeah, this might come to a head at some point, mostly due to a mix-up between Ubuyashiki Sora and Kunugi Sora, Aiko's youngest daughter, involving milk, vegetables, wayward twin siblings, and projectile vomit.

(It's an event, to say the least.)

[The Kunugi family, for the record, is caught up in its own supernatural bullshit, which Kunugi Sora is absolutely not here for, and would enjoy the opportunity to return to the Yanagi household not smelling like an indoor pools rejected cousin.]

{Matsuri, Seimei, and Sakuya love her, they do, but the girl really needs to look into seeing if she has any luck based curses on her.}

(And no, Kunugi Sora does not live her with family. At least, not physically, on paper she does, but she's been bunking with the Yanagi family for so long that Matsuri is hard pressed to remember a time when she wasn't there, and the girl has nearly a full decade over Seimei.

It doesn't help that Kunugi just... sort of signed herself up for the same school as Seimei for half a dozen years. She has her parents signatures down to an art form at this point.)

[There's an extra futon that's so well used, Seimei has recently had to start scrounging money to buy a new one.]

The Kunugi Family!

Brought to by boredom, spite, and a general want to see my writing projects through.

Anyway, the main Kunugi family, at it's most simple, consists of five children, two parents, two maternal grandparents, and one unmarried maternal uncle.

In order of birth, the children are as follows, Ichiru, Toshirou, Misato, Chiasa, and Sorahiko.

Kisuke is older than his wife Aiko by little more than four and a half years. Uncle Satoru is only twenty-three at the start of everything, and the grandparents, Kunugi Sorahiko and Kunugi Izumi are exactly a decade apart in age, with Izumi being the older out of the pair.

Kunugi Kisuke, it should be noted, married into the family, (and his 'maiden' name is actually Kobashigawa, and both his parents are there own pieces of work, also, one of his brothers is dead, alongside his wife, and he desperately wishes he had taken in niece when presented with the opportunity, mostly because, one, it would improve his relationship with Aiko by leaps and bounds do to the fact that the woman was in love with said brother and his best friend, secondly, it would mean that Toshirou, Misato, Chiasa, and Sora likely wouldn't exist).

The married aunts and Uncle's are as follows.

Kunugi Akemi, after faking her death and becoming Ryuzaki Ushio, married Ubuyashiki Takeru, thus becoming Ubuyashiki Ushio, and, at the end of everything, has nine children.

Her eldest are the twins Reiji and Sora, followed by Nagisa two years later, followed by Minato another three years after that, then Rukia another three years later, and then Asuka five years after Rukia's birth, at the end we have the triplets, Yasuo, Yaeko, and Yachiko, who were born six years after Asuka's birth.

Out of the twins, Reiji is older by two and a half days, due to complications concerning Ushio's and Sora's individual health.

Reiji was born on May 19th, and Sora May 22nd.

The triplets were born in the order of Yachiko, Yasuo, and Yaeko, with their being two hours between Yachiko and Yasuo, and fifteen minutes between Yasuo and Yaeko.

Aunt Akemi was the second eldest after Sosuke, with Aiko being the third born, Himiko the fourth, and Satoru the fifth.

[Satoru, for the record, lives up to his namesake, mostly by ways of fucking with his family, as, unfortunately, his charges are ten and under here, and he would sooner knife you than entertain the idea of traumatizing small children for the sake of a 'lesson'.]

Kunugi Sosuke has a wife, (who he's actually fond of, le gasp), and a single daughter named Chiharu. Who he keeps far, far, far away from the shitshow that is their family on a good day, beyond that, he's the only Kunugi sibling produced by Sorahiko and Izumi to be taken to court over something.

(It was an assault charge, but for all his apathy concerning Aiko, he doesn't regret beating the ever loving shit out of Edogawa Ryusei.

Never.)

After him is Aunt Himiko, who is married to a pediatrician from China, and has three children, and has, successfully, been able to keep all three of them away from her shitshow of a family. She has two sons and a daughter, but naming them would defeat the point if keeping them away from the family. So dah!

Cousin Mizuki is the son of Sorahiko's younger brother Katsuyuki, and is a divorced man, and the main caregiver of three children, mostly because his wife is an absolute mess of a woman on a good day.

In order of birth, they are Makoto, Mikado, and Kiyomizu.

He's a bit eccentric, but he's probably the best father out of everyone present, (Sosuke is too emotionally distant from his daughter to really count).

They have another cousin named Ishikawa Chou, who is the daughter of Sorahiko's older sister Jakushitsu, and is probably the nost adjusted out of everyone here. She's has an incredibly close relationship with all her children, is a relatively good person, and tries her best.

It's really, really, really not her fault all her kids are so fucked up, (and neither is it Kenta's), it's just fates way of cursing the Kunugi line with incredibly complicated filial relationships.

(Because yeah, the only person who has an even remotely positive relationship with Sosuke is Aiko, and that's because she wasn't actively raised by him.)

In order of birth, her children are, Katsuki, Yubari, Hyosuke, Mamoru, and Yuu.

On Aiko and Kisuke's side of the mess, Kisuke's family situation is... just as bad.

His parents most certainly had their own favorites, and they had increasingly fucked up ways to show it, as their favorites, Kazuhiko and Suzuki, were constantly subjected to emotional abuse, and verbally torn apart at any and every opportunity, with Kazuhiko finally snapping and trying to leave with his wife, daughter, and Aiko.

[And, yes, Aiko did bring along Ichiru, for those wondering.]

(And while Kisuke may hate his wife with a burning passion, and barely tolerate his children, nowadays he doesn't blame her from wanting to get away from it all.

He really, really, really doesn't.

But the fact that she refused to so much as inform him of anything was probably what killed any chance of love between them in the first place.)

{Kisuke doesn't really hate his children as much as he says he does, he has his problems with them, yes, but sheer unadulterated hate is pushing it.

More than anything, he hopes none of them ever turn out like him and Aiko.}

Unfortunately, there was an accident, ending in Kazuhiko, and his wife Sanae, dying. Their daughter an orphan, and released into the hands of Hinata and Asahi.

(Mikazuki is a wonderful take on a child never having a stable home life, like, ever, the longest she's ever lived in a single place was the year or so she spent in Suzuki's care as an infant, and, now that she's twenty-two, the two solid years she's shared a studio-apartment with her spouse Nishikinomiya Kouya.)
