⌠Say, Ryuu,■ Tadashi scratched his chin. ⌠Where▓s this cousin of yours?■ SA▓s 7th had a relative coming from America. She was half-Japanese, half-American. Ryuu glanced around then sighed. ⌠I don▓t know but her plane landed twenty minutes ago.■ He sounded and looked worried.
Megumi flipped her sketchpad. Maybe she▓s lost. ⌠Oh?■ stated Hikari. ⌠Is that so? Maybe we should start a search party!■ she exclaimed. She saw this as an opportunity to challenge and beat Takashima. A dark aura started to emerge from her.
Kei yawned. ⌠Honestly, Hikari, there you go again..■
⌠What▓s that suppose to mean?!■ She asked in rage. ⌠Calm down, Hikari.■ Akira chuckled nervously. ⌠You▓re starting to scare us..■ Kei let out a breath and closed his eyes. He opened his left one then grinned. ⌠Miss Number Two.■
Hikari choked.
⌠Ryuu-nii-chan!!■ A voice came from afar.
⌠Ryuu-nii-chan?■ Jun repeated in curiosity. He turned then saw a girl around his age run towards Ryuu. ⌠Ryuu-nii-chan!■ She exclaimed, full of affection, once more as she landed on Ryuu. Ryuu caught her happily. He chuckled. ⌠Ah. Deshi. What took you so long?■ he asked.
⌠Ah. Hm.■ Deshi winced.
Ryuu laughed hen ruffled her hair fondly. He leaned closer to her face then kissed her cheek. ⌠You haven▓t changed a bit.■ He observed. The twins turned red. Megumi showed her pad. What the!
One of the remaining SA people cleared their throat. ⌠Oh yeah. Sorry.■ Ryuu scratched his head then put Deshi down. ⌠Deshi, this is Hikari,■
⌠Hiya!■ Hikari waved.
⌠And you know Kei,■ Ryuu continued. ⌠Hai! Hey Kei-chan!■ she smiled. ⌠Long time, no see, Deshi.■ Kei nodded. ⌠You guys know each other?■ Hikari asked. ⌠Sort of.■ Deshi answered.
⌠Jun and Megumi Yamamoto,■ Deshi still held her smile. The twins surprisingly smiled back. Hello. ^_^. ⌠Hi. Hope we can be friends.■ She smiled. Jun winced suddenly. It wasn▓t noticeable though. ⌠I▓ve heard awfully a lot about you two.■ She giggled. Something unknown suddenly struck Jun. What is this? He glanced at his sister. She was smiling and apparently, liked Deshi. ▒Nothing happened.▓ Jun told himself. ▒Nothing at all..▓
Ryuu and Deshi were already moving on. ⌠Hello.■ Deshi waved at Akira and Tadashi. They were saying some things but they were non-audible to Jun. He saw her high-five with Tadashi.
He felt something strange.

⌠Ryuu-nii?■ Deshi called softly. ⌠Yes, Deshi?■ he answered. ⌠Are we going straight home?■ she asked. She turned to face him. He had a curious look on. ⌠Yes but Kei will be hosting a party later on.■ He replied. ⌠Do you want to come?■
Deshi cringed then nodded. ⌠If it▓s okay.■ She muttered glumly. ⌠Eh?■ he said. ⌠What▓s with the sad face?■ Ryuu asked. ⌠Nothing.■ Deshi smiled feebly. ⌠I just think I▓ll like it here.■ She confessed then looked at his face directly and smiled. ⌠Don▓t you think?■ She beamed. Ryuu smiled as well. He had always loved Deshi and whenever he sees her smile he can▓t help but grin himself.
⌠Ryuu-nii, one more thing,■ She added.
⌠Yeah, Deshi-chan?■ He said.
Deshi suddenly hugged him. ⌠Thank you, Ryuu-nii, for taking me in.■ She told him. Ryuu was suddenly hit. Something hurt him. There was something wrong with that last sentence. ⌠Don▓t say that, Deshi. You know I▓ll do anything for you.■ Deshi looked up and nodded.
Anything..

Deshi laid still on her new bed. She stared at the ceiling. She promised herself to have a fresh new start. Everything back then.. She would forget it and she meant everything. There was a knock on the door. ⌠Deshi. We▓ll leave in an hour.■ She heard Ryuu▓s voice from the other side. Crap sticks. Kei-chan▓s party! Wait. Why is she worried again? Oh yeah.
She promptly jumped out of bed and walked to the door. Deshi peeped out the hallway. ⌠Ryuu-nii?■ she called. He was a few meters away. Ryuu turned around. ⌠Eh?■
⌠Is it formal?■ She asked. Ryuu chuckled then answered. ⌠I▓m sorry. I forgot to tell you. It▓s Kei▓s little brother▓s birthday. Formal.■ Deshi nodded then went back into the room. Okay. Formal it is. WAIT. Kei-chan has a little brother?! Oh well. She▓ll just meet him later. ^_^
