Thoughts

Her eyes opened slowly in drowsiness and she saw a figure looming over her. When her vision became clearer, she found herself looking into a pair of cat-like eyes.

"What are you doing?" Kido tried to sound harsh but her voice came out lazily. She grimaced at Kano who seemed taken aback.

She sat up on the couch and rubbed her eyes. She had decided to take a small nap and then cook dinner. She observed Kano who had suddenly appeared in front of her face when she awoke. What was he doing?

Kano was kneeling on the ground and he stood up. "Nothing," he said, smiling. "Just looking at how cute Kido is when she's asleep."

"Really..." She trailed off, not believing him. Somehow she felt that he had done something that she shouldn't find out. Well, all the more she should know then.

A silence loomed over the living room. No one aside from her and Kano was at home. This made her felt even more suspicious of the blond. She stared up at Kano with her monotonous face while he's smiling at her.

That smile, she thought. He's lying.

"Did you do something to me?" Kido asked warily, eyeing at him. Her womanly instincts never failed her and this time its giving her the tingles.

Kano continued to smile and he tucked his hands in his pocket. "Ehh~ " He cooed. "You don't believe me?"

"I don't, so spit it out." She said bluntly.

He sat beside her and grinned. "You can't possibly think that I did something intimate to you when you're asleep, huh?" His eyes looked mischievous and Kido felt like gouging them out.

"H-Huh?" She said, raising a brow. She didn't meant it that way, but now that he said it, illicit images appeared in her mind. The thought of him kissing her made her blush terribly so she tried to control herself. If he saw, he'd definitely make fun of her.

"Eh, are you blushing?" Shoot. Kano came closer to her and she hoped he didn't hear her thumping heartbeat. "I'm not!" She punched his stomach, earning an OUCH from him.

Kido certainly felt that her cheeks were hot and blood was rushing up to her face. He wouldn't do that, would he? She thought. They were siblings, so he couldn't possibly hold such feelings for her. Unlike her...

Once Kano regained his composure, he smiled at Kido and this time it was different. It was tender and warm, as though he meant it. "Don't worry, I didn't do anything." He said reassuringly and somehow Kido's heart dropped.

"You had better not," She managed to say. She couldn't deal with her feelings raging in turmoil in her, so she stood up and headed to the kitchen.

"You know," Kano's voice stopped her and she turned to look at him. However his back was facing her and he didn't bother to turn around. "I've never thought of Tsubomi as my sister."

Thump. Her mouth parted slightly in a surprise. What did that mean? Does he feel the same way as her? She had never thought of him as a brother ever since some time after Ayano died. Instead she had thought of him as a guy, as someone she likes.

So if he doesn't think of her as his sister, then what does he think of her as?

Her conflicted feelings annoyed her, so she walked away without a word. She needed to get away from him for a while. He was the only one who could make her feel many emotions at once and she hated the fact that he doesn't know it. If only he had really thought of her as a woman.

But little did she know that Kano was blushing a little, smiling as he touched his lips.
