Chapter 1: Kurama Hears the News
Kurama's house
"Okay so how do you do this problem again," asked Kuwabara.
Kurama was about to explain to Kuwabara the Algebra equation when he heard his name being called from downstairs.
"Shuichi, could you come downstairs for a moment," called Shiori.
"Will you excuse me, Kuwabara? I'll just be a moment", apologized Kurama. Getting up to see what his mother wanted.
"Yea, no prob," said Kuwabara, Beside I think I'm starting to get the hang of this."
"Kurama hastened down the stairs to see what his mother wanted. "Yes Mother," Kurama responded once he stood in front of her.
"There you are", she said smiling at him "I have something to tell you" she said with a hint of nervousness in her voice. "It's about Kazuya"
Shiori and Kazuya had been dating awhile now. He hoped it wasn't bad news; she seemed to enjoy his company "Yes?" Kurama replied.
"Well," Shiori said clearly sounding excited "He asked me to marry him."
Stunned, Kurama just stare at her. He knew they had been dating but he hadn't realized know how serious it was. He stood there, at a loss for words. Finally finding his voice, he asked weakly "And you said…"
"Yes!" she exclaimed. "Shuichi is everything all right? Are you ok with this?" she asked worriedly, rubbing his arm to comfort him.
He quickly collected himself. "Yes Mother. I'm fine. In fact, I'm happy for you." In actuality he was fine with the idea of her getting married. He just wanted her to be happy. He had just been caught off guard. Turning to return to his room, he paused when his mother said one last thing.
"Oh and please don't make any plans for tomorrow. Kazuya and his son are coming over. We're going out to dinner I'll be a good opportunity for you to get to know step-brother to be. His name is Shuuichi just like yours. Isn't that funny?"
"He has a son?" Kurama thought, forcing a laugh.
