This is a sequel to Snow's Milkball, but it can be understood on its own. You can read Milkball (and more fanfics) at Snow's Rowen site:

If that doesn't work, just follow the links on my profile and you'll come across it, go to Confetti! then from there to the Genki Justice Party. We have sites for all the Ronin Warriors there. Anyway, the next few stories will be independent.
Eyes
Ryo shifted on the couch as he took notice of the very obvious stare that was being directed at him. He blinked, completely clueless about what was going through his friends' heads, and perhaps better off not knowing. "Do I have something on my face," he finally asked.
"It's nothing," Mia got up and left the living room, disappearing up the stairs to her room.
Ryo shrugged and continued brushing White Blaze's fur. A thought occurred to him and he theorized that maybe Mia didn't appreciate having tiger hair on her couch. He didn't want to upset her, so he went after her to assure her that he would vacuum the whole living room first thing tomorrow.
"She knows about them?" Cye asked.
"About the shirt?" Sage continued.
"And she's mad because she wasn't part of the action?" Rowen finished, though no one could tell if it was a serious theory or not.
Kento considered saying something, but he wasn't sure how to respond. Mostly he didn't want to fuel anymore false theories about Ryo and himself. He really didn't know how Ryo ended up with that milkball shirt, he thought he got rid of it.
Upstairs, Ryo walked into Mia's room, the door was open, so he took it as an invitation to visitors. "Mia, I'll vacuum tomorrow," he offered.
Mia let out a frustrated sigh but tried to acknowledge what he said with politeness. The last thing she wanted was to discourage him from helping out around the house, even if his attempts weren't always successful, "thanks."
Ryo nodded and left the room. Maybe Mia would be in a better mood after she saw how clean the living room was, and this time he would make sure not to get White Blaze's tail stuck in the vacuum, or else they would need another new vacuum after the current one was destroyed by the tiger's desperate attempt to free himself.
Left alone, Mia examined her reflection in the mirror and shook her head at herself. "Don't be silly," she told herself, "there's no need to be jealous." Maybe jealousy wasn't the word. It was more so a strange feeling of frustration, as if he was making her look bad. Yet she knew it wasn't Ryo's intention, nor his fault, he wasn't even aware of it. She would just have to face the facts and get over it, no matter how much mascara she wore, Ryo's eyelashes would always be the prettiest.
