Jealous, Much!
It was peaceful morning, birds chirping, people taking their morning walks…yup…peaceful except of course for the screaming coming from a house at the corner.
"AHHHHH!!!!" A scream, which came from Tsuki, sent her older brother Kage (ka-gei) bounding up the steps two at a time.
"Tsuki! What! What happened, did Kai sneak in and try to do something to you cause if he did I—" He stopped mid sentence cause right in front of him was his sister who was jumping up and down holding what looked like a piece of paper, clad in boxers, which he hoped didn't belong to Kai and an oversize shirt.
"Tsuki, you screamed because of some paper!! Are you kidding me! I thought that boyfriend of yours was trying to rape you!"
"…It's fiancé dumbass! Another thing Kai would never and I mean never rape me! I don't know why you hate him so much. Last this piece of paper in my hand is a printed e-mail from Ryu." With that said, she waited for some type of reaction to from her brother.
"…First of all, Kai doesn't deserve you, that arrogant bastard, and second of all—wait, did you say that letter's from Ryu?" The last statement told her he finally caught on.
"Yup!"
"What's it say?"
"…I'm not telling"
"What! Why?"
"Cause you're mean to Kai."
"…I've always been mean to him"
"…Oh yea…well anyway Ryu said that he's gonna come and visit and help prepare for the wedding!"
"That's good, than we can catch up on old times. I've haven't seen him for over a year." 'Hopefully Tsuki will come to her senses and not marry him, but that's just wishful thinking…xSighx' After that thought Kage let out an audible sigh, which Tsuki heard because she took her eyes off the paper to inspect her brother.
"Kage…you…alright?"
"…Huh? What, oh ya, I'm fine…just thinking that's all."
"…You're not having awful thoughts about maiming Kai again cause if you are I'm gonna have to—"
"Chill! I'm not" Kage was holding his hands up in defense to his sister's glare.
xSighx "Fine…well, you gotta leave cause I have to change before—" xDingx The ringing of the doorbell caused Tsuki to rigid and widen her eyes like a deer caught in the headlights.
"OH NO!!!! He's here, Kai's here and I'm not ready yet!!! Kage go and be a good host! And DON'T START A FIGHT!" With that said Tsuki pushed her brother out of her bedroom and slammed the door.
"That ungrateful—" xDingx "Ugh! I'm coming!" Yelled Kage slowing his pace as he went down the stairs dreading to open up the door and come face to face with…
"Kai…" The distaste coating the said name.
"…Kage…" The indifference matched the bored expression on Kai's face.
"…"
"…You gonna let me in?" Kai raised any eyebrow at Kage.
"…I don't want to…but I'm going to…" Stepping aside Kage let Kai enter hoping to catch Kai off guard so he could slam the door on his face but Kai knew this was going to happen so he kind of dashed into the house.
xGlaresx "I hate you…"
"Believe me, the feelings mutual Kage. So where's your sister." Glancing around the room for any signs of the said girl. Kai always felt awkward when left with Kage who was three years older than him, Kai being 18.
"…She's in her room getting—" Kage stopped mid sentence because Tsuki came bounding down the stairs with a smile that, if compared, would match a child who just won a prize.
"Kai-Kun! I'm ready!" She said in a singsong voice.
"…Don't call me that" Grumbled Kai watching the girl.
"You always say that but you know I don't listen!" Cocking her head to one side Tsuki smiled at Kai who adorned no expression.
"As wonderful as it is to watch you two, can you just leave?" Spoke Kage with an air of supremacy mixed with sarcasm.
"…I live here too!" Replied Tsuki with a pout that made the upper corner of Kai's lips to twitch as he tried to hold down the smile.
"…So…you said you two had somewhere to be, I'm just speeding up the process so I can get rid of him." With the last statement, Kage sent a glare towards Kai who gladly returned it with one of his own. Feeling the increasing tension in the air, Tsuki decided it was time to leave before they go and murder each other. With a sigh, Tsuki shook her head and wondered why Kage and Kai never got along. Shaking the thought out of her mind, she grabbed Kai's arm and lead him out the door, stopping shortly to talk to her brother.
"I'll be home late but in time to cook dinner, since you can't cook to save your life."
"Yea yea, I can't cook, so sue me! Now leave, the presence of him is starting to give me a headache." Smirking Kage turned to look at Kai who chose to ignore him and began dragging Tsuki who was yelling profanities at Kage for being mean to Kai.

'Oh boy, I wonder how I'm gonna tell Kai that Ryu's gonna come down early to help with the wedding preparations. xSighx He gets so jealous, even though he won't admit it, of him. xSighx I wonder why? I mean Ryu and I used to date but not anymore…Kai's so overprotective…but…it's sweet hehe…" Glancing at the girl by his side Kai watched the expressions change on her face, finding it amusing how she lets her emotions flow so freely.
"What are you thinking about?" Asked Kai, deciding it was time to bring her back to reality.
"…Oh, just stuff…" Replied Tsuki glancing at the man next to her.
"What kind of 'stuff'?" He began to feel uneasy as he watched her try to rack her brains for a reply.
"…Um…what if I said a friend who was invited to the wedding decided to come early to help out with the preparations?" Asked Tsuki testing the waters before she went for the dive.
"Depends on who your friend is." Came the skeptical reply of Kai. Feeling safe, Tsuki decided to go for the kill because one, Kai was in a good mood and two; she couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Ryusthefriendwhoscomingearlyandbeforeyouprotestaboutititsalreadytoolatebecausehesgonnabeheretomorrow!" Well, that wasn't how she planned to tell him, but the pressure seemed too much for her that it just came out all in one breath.
"…Would you like to repeat that again?" Asked Kai stopping to sit by the bench located in the park under the Sakura tree.
"…um…no? Hehe…" A wry smile adorned her face.
"…how about yes…" Came the firm reply of Kai.
"xSighx Okay, Ryu's coming tomorrow so he can help out with the wedding preparations…" Here confidence in her voice dropped with each word as she watch Kai tense at the name.
"…"
"…"
"…"
"…Okay! I can't take it! Kai! Say something!" Tsuki asked with exasperation.
"…Something…" Came the curt reply.
"…Not what I wanted to hear…Kai?"
"…It's fine" Oh, but it wasn't fine, Tsuki knew that much because with his 'it's fine' response, Kai smiled, and Kai does not smile, well with an exception here and there…but anyway, he smiled and Tsuki didn't know what else to do but smile back. Both having different thoughts about the events that might play out with the arrival of 'Ryu'.
'…That smile is starting to creep me out…oh boy I can see it know… (This is Tsuki's very wild imagination about what might happen)'Ryu is helping out by fixing the flowers, Kai walks in sees Ryu, glares at Ryu who smiles back and returns to what he's doing not knowing that Kai comes and bonks him on the head' The image replayed in Tsuki minds causing the girl to cringe at the thought. 'xSighx Oh, I hope that doesn't happen!'
As Tsuki kept on thinking up different scenarios, Kai was off in his own world as well:
'…I can't believe he's coming early! What was I suppose to say, 'No tell him to go home!' Tsuki would be sad, and I hate it when she's sad…Ugh! However, if he stays, Tsuki might…she might fall in love with him again! I can't let that happen! Ugh! I just have to make sure they aren't alone together…yeah…but wait! I can't do that; she'll think I don't trust her! I don't want that but…xSighx…This is giving me a headache…' Tsuki's voice broke his thoughts as he turned to her.
"What? I didn't hear you."
xSighx "I said Kai, that I'm hungry…" Tsuki pouted at the last statement which made Kai chuckle at her childish behavior. He always found himself so un-Kai-like around her, it was as if he couldn't control his emotions as he did with everyone else. With her, he felt as if he didn't have to hide behind his walls and that he could let his guard down without people making a big deal out of it.
'That's why I like, no love, her so much…she makes me feel…human' With that last thought Kai got up and offered his arm to Tsuki who gladly took it and headed towards the nearest fast food joint for lunch. Nevertheless, the thought of Ryu coming still lingered in the back of his mind but Kai decided to shake it off and think about later.
