Please R & R~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Thank you." Reito smiled at his waiter as he gave him his drink.

"Is there going to be anything else?"

"Not at this time. I am still waiting on someone to be met me here."

"Yes, sir. Then I will be back shortly."

Reito nodded as the waiter walked away. He wasn't sure when his cousin was going to get there, or even what she would say. All he could do was remember how much fun it was when they were little. Chuckling to himself as a memory came back to him.

Flash back

Sweat was dropping to the pads below as he was trying to catch his breath. "You're getting better. When did you learn that move?"

"You mean this?" said the little redhead girl as she went to kick him again.

"Ara, don't hurt him that much! I need to practice too." declared the chestnut brown haired girl.

"What?!? I never said that I was going to spar with both of you." said little Reito.

"That's a shame. And here I thought with all the extra time you spent fighting that Kuga would have made you stronger." Taking yet another kick at the now falling Reito. "Tell me. What makes you think that you can beat her when you can't even beat me?"

As the kick collided Reito grabbed the leg and pulled it aside just in time to pull the un-expecting redhead close and then pinned her to the ground. "And who sad that you could beat me?"

"HAHAHA! You two are fun to watch. Now it's my turn. Which one wants to go first? Or would you both like to have a go at me together?" No one would ever thought that the smallest member of their family would be the toughest out of all of them, but she was. As the red eyed girl came closer, both Reito and his red headed cousin started to back away.

"Umm…Shizuru, I am kind of tired right now. Can we do this another day?"

"Yeah, I don't think that I will be able to keep up with you right now!"

"Ara, are you saying that you are too weak to fight, Nao? Oh, well then I guess I will just have to pin you both down and tickle you then! "

"AHHH!!! Run!!!" Without a second thought both the little Reito and Nao took off running. Before long they had been caught and pinned by the small chestnut haired girl. There was no escaping now.

End Flash back~~~~~~~~~

"Great timing! I thought that you weren't going to come." As Reito got up to receive his cousin.

"Cut the crap, Reito!" An annoyed red head approached him. "What gives you the right to ask if SHE can stay in Shizuru's room?!"

"Calm down Nao. It's not like you are going to be the one living with her." Said the chestnut haired girl behind Nao. "Hello, Reito. It has been awhile. How is Mai doing?"

"She is doing fine." Reito signaled for the two to sit down. "I am a little surprised that you brought Nao along Shizuru."

"Well when I told her who it was that you were trying to place in my room, she decided that she should come and voice her opinion."

"Which brings me back to my question: What gives you the right to ask if SHE can stay in Shizuru's room? Do you remember what happened?"

"Yes, I do. AND I also know that both of you still care about her."

"Reito?" Shizuru now drinking the tea that the waiter had just brought her, which neither Reito nor Nao saw because they were having a staring contest.

"Yes, Shizuru?"

"She can be my roommate. It is the least I can do after what I did to her."

"WHAT?!?!?" Nao screamed at the top of her lungs.

"NAO! Were are in a restaurant, please keep it down." Reito and Shizuru both reacted.

"Fine, but I still don't want her rooming with you. If she does one thing wrong, I will beat the crap out of her!" Nao declared before taking a sip of the tea that Shizuru ordered for her.

'I don't think it is going to be Natsuki that will cause anything to go wrong.' Reito thought to himself as a sweat drop formed on his forehead. "Anyways, I am pretty sure she wants to just go ahead and move in. When will be the best time that she can do that?"

"Well since Haruka has already moved her stuff out, she is more than welcomed to go ahead and move in tomorrow if she likes." Sipping her tea and grinning.

"Hey Shizuru?" Nao whispered into Shizuru's ear. "You really think it is going to be ok if she moves in? I don't want to see you get hurt."

"And I don't want to see you get hurt either." Shizuru whispered back smiling.

"Ara, what are you talking about over there? You want to fill me in?" Reito said as he put away his phone.

Back as Mai's apartment, Mikoto and Mai where helping Natsuki pack up some more stuff to get ready to move. With the last box finally being taped, they were ready for the day to be over.

"Hey Mai?"

"Yes, Mikoto?"

"I'm hungry!"

"When are you not hungry, Mikoto?" sighed an exhausted raven haired beauty.

"Don't worry about it. Reito will be here soon with food. Oh, and Natsuki," looking over at the woman laying on her soon to be ex-bed. "He said that he is willing to take some boxes over to the apartment for you so that you don't have to make a lot of trips."

"Oh? He is being nice again? He isn't going to go through my stuff is he?" Raising her brow. "I still can't believe he is being this nice to me. Are you sure he isn't up to something? He hasn't been replaced with an alien or something right?"

"My brother isn't an alien!" shrieked the spiky haired teenager.

"Stop it you too! Natsuki, if you are that worried just follow him over on your bike and help him. And for goodness sake, thank the man. He was the one that got you the place."

"Yeah, I know." Natsuki sighed in defeat, too tired to care. Suddenly, a knock was heard at the door and Mikoto ran to open it up.

After a peaceful, yet uneasy feeling dinner, Natsuki asked to join Reito on the ride to the new apartment. Once they got there, Natsuki parked her bike and started to help move some boxes up the stairs to the apartment.

"Hey, Reito? Thanks for your help. I have to say that I am still a little skeptical about the whole thing, but thanks."

"Don't mention it. I know we have had our share of blows, but I thought I should make it up to you. After all, I really want to be on your good side." The latter half of what he said wedged itself in the dark haired woman's mind and confused her.

"What do you mean? 'on my good side'? Are you trying to get close to me so that I don't kick your ass if you hurt Mai? Your not planning on leaving her are you?"

Chuckling, Reito had a hard time trying to bring himself to say that they were at the apartment, but was cut off by Natsuki once again.

"OI!!! What are you…" Not being able to complete what she was saying, Natsuki started to stare at the door that had just opened. It unveiled an hour glass figure with mid-back, chestnut brown hair, and enchanting red eyes. Behind her was another stunning woman with red hair that stopped right at the base of her neck and gorgeous lime green eyes.

After letting Natsuki ogle at his cousins, Reito disrupted the long silence. "Natsuki, allow me to introduce Shizuru and Nao, my cousins. This is where you will be staying."
