Chapter 2

Blush

"It was an incredible moment!" Yuki beamed, "Kyohei showed a side to Sunako that I've never seen before. It's nice to know you have a soft side than that anger management problem of yours" he pointed at Kyohei.

"Didn't I tell you to shut up," Kyohei charged and head locked a defenseless Yuki.

"Waaaa, let go, let go!" Yuki struggled from Kyohei's deathly grip.

"Aw, come on Kyohei, Yuki is just being Yuki, why don't you let him go?" Ranmaru suggested while relaxing on the sofa. Though he loved watching two idiots play it out, he did find Yuki's whining annoying. To his dismay, Kyohei only found his request irritating and limped towards the smiling red head, along with Yuki being dragged.

"You have something to say too?" Kyohei slid his arm around Ranmaru's neck, binding him against the couch and also making sure he balanced on his good ankle. Now two men were being bullied by the muscular blond, who only gripped tighter with every word the two boneheads spoke, which was about him and Sunako.

"Hey, watch the hair and face, but mostly the face "Ranmaru urged towards Kyohei.

"Waaa, where's Takenaga when you need him?" whined Yuki.

With this, quiet footsteps tapped and Takenaga appeared. He was focused more on what was in his hand than the tussle taking place in the living room, his thumbs tapping the keyboard and waiting for the zing! That would say he had a text message.

Noi, the triad thought.

Takenaga gradually went upstairs, up to his room, and closed the door quietly. Seeing this as an opening for escape, Yuki swiftly yanked himself free from Kyohei's suffocating grip.

"Oi, get back here," Kyohei ordered.

Distracted towards Yuki, Kyohei didn't realize Ranmaru dashed out from his arm, to which he found safety in the kitchen.

"Baka," Kyohei scratched his head," you guys got lucky this time but watch out, I won't be so gentle next time."

Tired (and annoyed), Kyohei hopped up the stairs and sluggishly walked to his room. Pushing the door closed with what little force he had, Kyohei than dropped himself on the bed and stared at the ceiling. On the verge of sleep, Kyohei remembered what happened between him and Sunako. Glad no one was around, a pinkish color swarmed around his cheeks and a smile was beginning to arise. Never wanting that feeling to go away, he reached the skull from his jacket and caressed it against his chest.

I wonder if she's thinking about me right now, Kyohei thought. I bet she's talking to that creepy doll, Hiroshi-kun, telling him everything that happened today. Ah well as long as she's talking about me it's enough.

With the memories still flashing back and forth, Kyohei felt his body become relaxed and his eyelids becoming heavy. While holding the skull, he drifted off imagining Sunako's face, believing this was his happy ending.

My Sunako.

Hiroshi-kun looked around the small cubby he was placed in and wondered why Sunako had brought him here. He missed the spacious room and, even thought Sunako couldn't stand it , he loved the company from the bright creatures.

"HIROSHI!" Sunako ripped the curtains hanging on the tiny doorway. In such a rush she forgot the height of the room and hit her head on the ceiling. Hiroshi watched a dizzy Sunako sway towards him muttering something he couldn't quite hear.

Ugh not again, he thought, Sunako snap out of it and hurry up and tell me what you wanted to say, it's very claustrophobic in here.

Shaking her head and still a bit dazed, Sunako crawled next to Hiroshi-kun and sat with her legs up to her chest.

"He kissed me again, "she said.

And? What did you do? What else happened?

"I came here. I didn't know what to do, besides you always help me with problems, how do I act or what do I say?" Sunako babbled.

You still run away huh? Perhaps you should have stayed and talked to him, I mean he did say he loved you.

"Ya I know but I've never had anyone love me, little lone like me like how Kyohei does." Sunako responded.

Then I guess it's not meant to be-

"No! I mean, I thin- no I do like him or I love him," Sunako hid farther in her cape after saying those three words. He was special to her, like she was special to him, but can she truly trust him? I suppose things will have to unfold, Sunako thought.

Hey, Sunako, Hiroshi said, sorry to interrupt your thinking but if your going to do something, then how about doing something special for him. Besides you did say he was special to you as you are to him.

Hearing that Sunako smirked and thought of an idea, which would impress Kyohei.

"I got it!" she jumped up, once again hitting her head," Ouch! No, wait I know I'll cook him a feast and then we can have a due? I mean he fights all the time, he's gotta like that right?"

Your on the right track, food does satisfy that radiant creature. Excellent idea but how about eliminating the duel part from your arrangements and enjoy a nice romantic evening with him.

"How?" Sunako asked.

After your lovely feast you have eaten then go somewhere quiet and have a nice chat with him, talk about what you guys may have in common and fighting isn't just one of them. If you can't make that step yet, at least stay by his side for awhile that's considered somewhat romantic, I think.

"Ok, I accept the challenge," Sunako shaped her hand in to a fist, showing she can do this, maybe. "I'll get going now." She hustled out the door.

Wait! Take me with you, a sadden but stilled Hiroshi-kun cried. And when did this become a challenge!

Kyohei saw an elegant and barefooted Sunako dance in a black dress, displaying her sleek and smooth skin. She graciously moved her arms around, appearing like a ballerina, and then she saw him. He was afraid she was going to run away so he steady his position for take off just in case, but instead of her running the opposite way she walked towards him. Kyohei surprised and caught off guard stiffened when Sunako grabbed his hands. Her eyes peered into his and Kyohei was captivated by her beauty. Focused on her looks, he missed the words she whispered. Anxious about what she said Kyohei told her to repeat it once more. Opening her mouth, her voice sounded like bells.

Bells? Kyohei thought. Listening closer, he heard the sound more clearly. It wasn't bells but instead it was ringing. A phone was ringing…

Slowly opening his eyes, the drowsy brawler raised his body from his cushioned mattress and rolled out of bed, checking his ankle to see if it was better. It had a tinkling feeling but Kyohei paid not attention to it. Angry towards the phone for interrupting his fantasy, Kyohei stomped down every step of the stairs. All he could think to himself was, I'm going to yell at the bastard who's calling. Reaching his point he snatched the telephone, lifted it to his mouth and took a big breath.

"Hello!" Auntie said on the other line. Kyohei accidently sucked in the breath he was holding and began coughing.

"Oh, hello? Hello? Hey, you boys better not be doing something weird over there or I'll come and kick you out," Auntie proclaimed.

"It's *cough* nothing," Kyohei cleared his throat, "just didn't expect you to call so soon. I mean it's only been a couple hours since I saw you."

"Well duh, anyways I boarded my plane and just happened to remember something." Auntie said.

"Ok, so what did you want to tell me, and please don't make it a challenge on Sunako," he begged.

"Alright if you insist, then how about you boys take my darling Takeru out for the day, I think he deserves a little fun for helping you get over your love issues." Auntie giggled silently through the phone.

"Hey, I didn't need any help besides; Takeru seems like a kid who loves to be cooped up with work and business priorities."

"You can either do this or I will happily find a box for you and those three handsome gentlemen to live in, so what's your answer?"

"Fine I'll take the little bra- I mean angel of yours to the park." Kyohei agreed.

"No, take him to an amusement park I want him to have the greatest day ever, so no cheap areas understand?" Auntie said with a serious/scary tone.

"Okay, okay got it, bye-bye," Kyohei hanged up quickly before Auntie could give them any more demands.

After talking with Auntie, Kyohei called Takenaga and told him to take Takeru out.

"But me, Ranmaru, and Yuki are shopping right now," Takenaga said.

"So? Take him with you; I think he'll have fun with you. Buy him a toy or something," Kyohei responded.

"Okay, wait where are you going to be? Aren't you supposed to come to?"

"Ya, sure, I'll meet up with you guys later," Kyohei lied.

"Like I'll ever believe that, fine then, where is he now?"

"He should be hanging around the café shop with the old man about now, okay bye-bye" again Kyohei hung up instantly.

Looking around the living room, he debated on if he should go back to bed or to wait for Sunako to come back. I'll wait for her, he thought. Sitting in a dining chair, Kyohei looked around the house to keep him preoccupied, but the distractions weren't working. His stomach agreed with this too. It grumbled loud enough for the whole world to hear. Realizing he couldn't remember the last time he ate, Kyohei went into the kitchen and tried to find some food to eat. He grabbed whatever was in the kitchen and placed them on the counter but not exactly sure what to make with them. Just as he was about to doubt having dinner, Sunako stumbled in holding two full bags of groceries.

"Ok, so fish, rice, sauce, carrots-wait no not carrots, uh-"Sunako halted; baffled that she didn't see Kyohei standing in the kitchen.

"Hi," Kyohei said shyly.

"Oh, why are you here?" Sunako blurted out.

Jolted by her response, Kyohei said" What do you mean why am I here? I live here remember besides I'm not the one who barged in with a ton of groceries in their hands."

"No, that's not what I meant, um, wait in the living room," Sunako pushed Kyohei into the other room.

"Hey what's the rush for?" Kyohei said. He was going to ask more questions but grasp the idea of what she was doing for him and willingly walked out himself.

Stunned that Kyohei was home Sunako called Yuki to ask for advice on what to do.

"It's Yuki here!" he bellowed happily.

"Yuki what do I do, Kyohei is here and I wanted to cook him a nice dinner," Sunako anxiously said.

"Aww, cute, okay well then get started then. I don't see a problem, besides sooner or later you are going to have to get use to seeing him," Yuki advised Sunako.

"Oh, ok, well I'll call you for more update," Sunako said quietly.

"Bye-bye,"

"Bye," putting down the handheld phone, Sunako put herself into full gear and began cooking a magnificent dinner.

Hurriedly walking into the living room, Sunako took a deep breath and said, "Dinner is ready."

Kyohei turned his head and jumped out of his chair, attempting to show her he didn't wait stiffly because the whole time he was curious of what she was making him.

"It's about time, I've felt like I've been sitting here for ages,' Kyohei complained, covering up his sheepishness towards her.

"Sorry," Sunako covered her face, following after Kyohei to the dining table. About to reach for her chair, Kyohei's hand grabbed the top and pulled the chair out, helping Sunako to her seat. Though there were other chairs available, Kyohei slid in the one next to her. Nervously Sunako served both there plates and they both started to eat. Nothing but the clinking of the plates and the whisper of the wind filled the room with sound. Neither knew what to say to the other, but both didn't want an awkward silence so…

"I-"the flustered couple said at once.

"Hehe, you go ahead," Kyohei scratched his head and smirked a bit.

"No, no, you go ahead," Sunako said hurriedly.

"Well, it's ladies first. Besides mine's not that important," he said shyly.

"Mine's not important either,"

"Just hurry up and say what you want to say," Kyohei tried to say casually but it came out like an annoyed tone.

"No, you talk," Sunako shot back. After, both began yelling at each other and soon both were out of there chairs telling each other they should hurry up and say what they have to say (before they get old to understand each other, hehe ). This only frustrated them more. After awhile and seeing this as getting know where, Kyohei looked at Sunako straight in the eye and was about to burst, when they suddenly caught a glimpse and gazed into each other's eyes. Slowly beginning to lean into one another, when…Knock. Knock. Knock.

Halting and noticing what they were doing, Kyohei rushed to get the door and Sunako plopped in her seat, she couldn't believe they were going to kiss again.

Kyohei steadied himself as he reached the door and calming himself, he was still flustered by what he was about to do. Opening the door, Kyohei saw the one person he'd never thought he'd see in a million years, Hideyoshi. He trusted this guy with his life but knowing his past Kyohei couldn't trust him with Sunako.

Sorry about the wait, very busy. Well here's the next chapter and the name for the new character does sound weird but there's a reason why. Enjoy!
