A/N: starting again on part two…sorry about the ending of part 1, but that's how it's supposed to end anyway…Well…let's go on with part two, shall we?
Disclaimer: Enishi and Kaoru are siblings…man..Watsuki Sensei would faint at hearing this..
CHAPTER 1 My Beloved Sibling II
Kaoru was walking along the busy street of Ginza with her step brother, as they want to look for present for their mother's birthday next week. They have been walking around the area for awhile now, yet bearing no result..
Their curious eyes pried at the display of a clothing shop
"Ugh..no…this is way too expensive! We're out of budget…", the ebony-haired girl was shaking her head persistently as she walked off, leaving Enishi behind her.
"Matte…Kaoru!", he called her and quickly walked in long strides to catch up with her.
"We won't be able to find anything if you kept saying it's too expensive…", he said in a low, rather irritated voice.
"Hah…I'm talking about the fact…we've only got this much money to spend. and all things in Ginza is rather expensive too", she answered him.
"Perhaps it's better if we go elsewhere…hurry, Nii-chan, or we'll be late at getting home, and Kaa-san will be worried!", she stuck her tongue, teasing him.
"Hey…wait, Kao…"
'CLICK'
The sound of a camera and its telltale flash surprised both of them.
They turned around and saw….
A complete stranger who looked awfully like a reporter…
and a camera guy standing behind her.
"Hi! I'm Kamatari from 'Nanno' magazine…we're doing a little interview with a number of young couples around this district at the moment…would you mind if we take your picture?", she said with a cheerful tone.
"Nn…No! I mean…Yes! How dare you…." Kaoru's shaky voice was heard. She looked pretty funny as she pointed her forefinger at them threateningly…and then, her gaze fell on to the camera behind the pretty reporter.
Before she realized what she was doing.. "Hai!" She gave one of her distinctive smiles at the camera.
"Ooh…she's smiling so beautifully!", the reporter remarked, approaching them closer.
Kaoru hid behind her step brother, suddenly gripping one of his arms as she turned away from them.
"Kaoru….", Enishi sounded confused.
"Sorry…used to it..", she murmured by way of explanation, and tried to pull him away from there.
"Oh, her name's Kaoru, is it? And what is yours, young man?", the reporter's voice was brazen as she winked at him… " Oh, you guys certainly made a cute couple", she commented while the camera guy was holding the camera in position.
A frown marred his features as the camera guy took yet another picture of them.
"Hey, we didn't give you our consent…don't take pictures of me and my sister!", he responded crossly, a protective arm went around her shoulder as Kaoru hid her face in his chest.
Both the reporter and the camera man was speechless. They actually sweat-dropped.
"Sister? You guys are siblings? You don't look like a couple, though…", the chatty reporter asked, her expression incredulous.
"Well…yes..so what…I like my sister", the silver-haired guy replied, his right arm still holding Kaoru's shoulder as he spoke indignantly.
Suddenly Kaoru realized that they were gaining curious looks from their surrounding, so she quickly pulled his arm and ran away from there.
"Hah..hah..hah…", both of them stopped at a quiet corner. Kaoru's breathing was rather shallow and erratic as Enishi looked at her with a knowing smirk. His own breathing was back to normal almost in no time.
"You know, imouto-chan…you really need some exercise...", he teased.
Kaoru glared at him with renewed fire in her azure eyes. "…well…somebody said he likes his sister…", Kaoru said with a smug expression, noting the tall guy in front of her suddenly looked away, feigning innocence.
"Oh, well…", she stood up straight and walked off , resuming a more sedate pace as she looked around her. "Sooo….your lovely sister here's having her birthday next month…what do you plan to give me then, Enishi-nii chan?", she asked him, turning her head to face him.
Ha stayed silent as if contemplating an answer…
"Ohh..look at that pretty scarf!", she suddenly yelped as she noted the merchandise displayed on the shop's window. "Perfect! That's perfect for Kaa-san!", she pushed Enishi into the store and together they bought the lovely silk scarf for the present.
The two of them came out from the shop soon, Kaoru looking satisfied as ever, as she further attempted to tease him. "Well…Enishi-nii chan…tell me. what'll you give me for my present next month? Will it be something expensive, I wonder.., she grinned mischievously, as she observed the traffic.
"Mmm…how 'bout if your present is…"
VROOOOM…….
A rather noisy motorcycle flew past them.
"Uh..mm… me…."
"Aagh….", Kaoru put both of her hands on her ears to cover it from the sudden noise pollution.
"Darn that motorcycle….huh…what were you saying, Nii-chan?", she asked him.
Enishi's face flushed slightly as he realized what he just said..
"Ah..nothing…I…won't give you anything too expensive for sure", he finished off, looking quite uncomfortable.
"Hmmph…how is it that I sort of knew that you were going to say something like that! What a fine brother you are..", she grumbled.
"Would you have it any other way?", his face inched closer to hers as he ruffled her hair casually.
"Hey, don't do that!", she pouted, feeling her heart thumping loudly in its socket.
Both of them walked side by side quietly towards their home.
