*PUNCH!*
Kagami fell back against the wall with Himuro towering over him,
"Why did you miss?! Is that supposed to be pity?! I don't remember telling you to hold back!" Himuro yelled whilst Kagami looked down in shame,
"I don't want to be your enemy, I want things to stay the same." Kagami finally spoke softly,
"I see…" Himuro replied, no longer yelling, "If you're going to keep going easy on me, because of that… I have no choice." He reached up to grab the ring around his neck, and yanked it off, snapping the chain it hung from, whilst Kagami, Yakeru and Mizuki looked on, shocked.
"I'll bet this ring on our next game! Today's game is a tie. If you lose the next game, we'll pretend this game never existed."
"But… you…" Kagami stuttered.
"You asshole! What the heck are you doing!" Mizuki, who had been silent up until now, shouted and stormed at her brother.
Meanwhile, the eight year old Yakeru crawled up to Kagami and sat in his lap, studying his face,
"You need a plaster!" She grabbed a smiley faced plaster from a little pouch she had attached to her waist (courtesy of Tatsuya and Mizuki, who were paranoid she was going to injure herself) and stuck it over the forming bruise on his cheek. "Now kiss it better!" she leaned forward and gave a little peck on his injured cheek, causing the boy to blush and stutter a thank you, the little girl just grinned back and giggled.
"It's ok Tigger!" Yakeru used her nickname for him, causing his face to turn a deeper red.
"Can't you put your pride away for one minute?! Are you even listening? Don't you walk away from me!" Mizuki screeched at her brother, who was beginning to walk away from her, "Tatsuya! Get back here!"
*Timeskip*
"Hey, where's Taiga?" Mizuki asked absentmindedly one morning, "I haven't seen him in a while."
"He left." Tatsuya replied shortly,
"What? What do you mean, left? Where'd he go?"
"He went back to Japan."
"When?!" Mizuki yelled alarmed
"The other day."
"And you didn't think to tell us?!" both sisters yelled in unison.
"Must've slipped my mind." He shrugged impassively.
"Why are you being such an unemotional bastard?" Mizuki slammed her spoon on the table and stood up.
"So we'll never see Tigger again?" Yakeru big brown eyes started to tear up.
"Probably not." Tatsuya looked at her and shrugged.
"Stop being so unemotional towards her!"
"I'll just go to my room." Yakeru hopped off her chair and sulked off,
"Now look what you did!"
The argument of the twins could be heard for the next hour, then they were completely silent towards each other for the next month.
