Stuff happened…?

"BOCHO'S SISTER?"

She released and her arms and turned around, returning Renji and Genichirou's much needed air- which was being deprived of them just a few seconds ago.

The female Yukimura smiled innocently.

"yeah. I moved to America just before I got into high school because of …stuff-complications" she paused not knowing whether or not to tell them the truth, but eventually regained her chirpiness, deciding against it; "and Sei-chan was only in his 2nd year of middle-school then, so he wasn't the captain yet…I only got to meet a few of his team mates I think…"

Akaya smiled, fully recovered from yet ANOTHER shock, undoubting of her very vague answer, unlike Yagyuu's perceptive eyes, who pushed his glasses further up his nose, suspicious.

"then why are you back?"

Her smile faltered.

Sanada and Yanagi shot him a glare, conveying that he shouldn't have asked that question, much to his confusion.

"why? Can't I just go back home to visit my cute lit- ahem… I mean big brother just because I miss him?" she asked, false tears gathering at the corner of her eyes, emphasising the 'home' but to be more convincing.

And it did work… slightly.

'Gen-chan' sighed, about to comfort her, until a very familiar voice was heard behind them.

" 'cute'? "

They tuned around to see Seiichi standing a few feet behind Genichirou and Renji, an amused smile playing at his lips.

"and Rin, you never miss me"

"I do too!" she disagreed, pouting (again) and clenching her fists childishly.

"bipolar" Yagyuu, Marui and Jackal all decided simultaneously. In their heads of course.

They didn't want laps from the "emperor" and a 2 gout tongue lashing from the "master", who both seemed to be uncharacteristically overprotective of the young purple-head.

Akaya just smiled. "PMS MUCH?" he wondered.

Wait. What…? Akaya? Kirihara Akaya? As in the little DEMON CHILD?

Smiling gently, the male Yukimura walked up to Rin, ruffling her hair in a brotherly fashion.

Awwwww~

Man! He had this older brother thing down! With 15 years of experience. (cuz that's how old she is)

Like the brother I never had. Well, I do, but he's more like the big, bad bully than the bro.

Anyway, back to the story.

"hey… where's Niou-sempai?" Akaya asked harmlessly.

Yukimura Seiichi's mood turned an 180 degree turn as the only girl froze, hand halfway up to fixing her hair dropping lifelessly to the side.

The elder Yukimura, seeming to notice his little sister's actions, shot Akaya a glare, making the poor boy shrink and whimper helplessly, terrified under his captain's deadly glare.

"Ah! There!" Marui pointed out suddenly, noticing something, oblivious to the current tension as he popped another bubble.

Every other male whipped their heads to where Marui was pointing so quickly, the red-head wondered how they didn't accidentally break their necks, where as Karin just froze even more, seeming to know what, of more importantly, who, was there.

Niou was walking up to them guiltily looking to the side, scratching his head worriedly.

"Bochou I know I'm late but there was this really fit wench- I mean this lost girl from Hyotei, and being the gentleman I was, I helped her…" he trailed off, finally noticing his bochou's current company.

Seiichi's face darkened considerably-looking even more moody; if that was possible.

"I-I'm going" came a soft hesitant whisper from the girl with a shadow cast across her eyes as her head was tipped slightly downwards, her hands clenched at her side- this time in fury.

"Rin…" he called, a hint of desperation etched in Seiichi's Yukimura's voice for the first time in what seemed like forever.

The four boys-namely Jackal, Marui, Akaya and Yagyuu- just stood there, not knowing what to do for the nth time that day.

Rin, over the initial shock, stood there, bewildered.

The jerk! He had the nerve to show up in front of her again, even after all the things he's done to her!

Bastard.

Niou shot her a dirty look.

Ooops. Guess she'd said that out loud.

After she'd stomped away to the direction of the school, the opposite direction of where Niou stood, his expression still one of confusion- reminding her vaguely of a lost child- leaving everyone to stare after her.

Marui finally spoke, unable to bear the awkwardness of the situation any longer, as well as being left in the dark. Yet again.

Speaking the question for the other three that stood near him:

"what happened?"

"stuff…happened" was Sanada's unsure reply.

Stuff happened. That was all there was to it.

…it was as simple as that.

Stuff explained in next chapters :D
