Kagome sighed, her cousin was supposed to be coming over for her sixteenth birthday, she hadn't seen him for a whole year.
She hoped he bought that really nice apple pie he made.
"Ne, Mama, when's Touta getting here?" She questioned her mother, blinking when she jumped.
"Oh, Kagome I forgot you were still here for your birthday, he should be here soon."
Kagome sighed, having nothing better to do, she played with her brother's rubix cube.
"I still don't know how you can do that so well and so fast." Her brother sulked, watching her skillfull hands move the coloured squares into place.
"You just need to practice." She spoke softly, chuckling at his muttered remark.
"Yeah, and an IQ the age of the earth."
"I'll have you know my IQ is 287, not 4.543 billion."
"Kagomeeee…." He whined towards her.
"Soutaaaa…." She mimicked him.
Kagome was startled from her staring contest with the cube in her hands when she heard the door slam.
"Eh, I'm sorry I'm late, I got held up at work."
"Touta!" Kagome called, running up to him to give her cousin a large hug. "It's great to see you again!"
"Heh, I would have come around more often, but, uh work." He spoke, realising for once, how much his cousin looked like his boss, L.
He wasn't stupid, like most seemed to think he was and quickly put two and two together. 'Oh!'
Well didn't his life just get more interesting?
