Chapter Three
"Tadima!" Souma Shigure announced cheerfully as he entered the living room and paused to see one of his room mates was not alone. Across from his relative, Kyou, sat a teenaged boy who starred up at him. Kyou however was still starring at the boy and didn't even look at Shigure.
"Hello," the novelist smiled at him. "Are you one of Kyou's students?"
Kamui realized he was starring and shook his head. 'Could this be Souma Yuki?' he wondered as the older man sat down with them at the table and poured himself some tea. 'He seems like the man Okaasan was talking about ... a little old though.'
"Eer... no," he answered and then bowed politely. "We just met, I'm Shirou Kamui."
"Souma Shigure," the older man bowed in the same manner. "Please to meet you, Kamui-kun!"
'Shigure ...?' Kamui blinked and looked down. 'Then he's not my father.'
"So what's going on?" Shigure glanced at Kyou who was still starring at a nervous Kamui. "It's not everyday Kyou-kun brings home guests."
Finally, the martial arts instructor tear his gaze away from the teenager sitting across him and drank the rest of his tea. Sitting it down he look looked over at the older man and folded his arms across his chest. "He says he's Torhu's son."
Shigure choked on his tea before starring at the teenager for a long moment. Then the novelist smiled and nodded, "Well I believe it, you look a lot like Torhu-kun!"
Kyou sweat dropped then looked at Kamui again, "Hey, kid ... how old are you anyway?"
The former Dragon of Heaven frowned at being called 'kid' but decided it wasn't nice to blast relatives he just met. So he shrugged off his annoyance and answered, "Sixteen."
"Sixteen," Shigure blinked. "But Torhu-kun must have had you when she was your age and ..."
The older man stopped smiling and looked down at his empty tea cup, "I see ..."
Kyou gritted his teeth, wanting to lash out at another violet-eyed man, but he wasn't home at the moment. Shigure refilled their cups and continued to smile. It was silent for several minutes and Kamui finally stood up and announced it was late and he wanted to head home. Before the older men could say anything, the teenager was at the door and pulling on his shoes. It was clear to him this wasn't a good idea and he should have stayed in Tokyo where he could be useful.
Slipping on his sneakers without bothering to tie up the loose laces had been a mistake as he tripped out the door and smacked into someone else. Strong hands caught hold of him before he could fall on his face and steadied him back to his feet. Looking up, Kamui swallowed hard as a set of older violet eyes were on him.
There was no doubt in his mind that this tall and slender dark haired man had to be Souma Yuki. The older man blinked at his startled expression and gave the youth a small smile, "Are you all right?"
"Um ... I," Kamui began but was interrupted by Kyou's angry voice from the doorway.
"You damn rat!" Kayou spat at his cousin.
Violet eyes narrowed at the redhead and but remained calm and cool, "What are you babbling about now, stupid cat?"
Kamui could feel a storm brewing between their intense glares and didn't like the idea of being in the middle of it. Slowly he backed away until Shigure appeared behind Kyou. The novelist waved to him with a friendly smile.
"Please don't leave so soon, Kamui-kun," Shigure called out. "We really should talk more and I'll order dinner!"
"It's okay," Kamui eyed the two glaring men. "I don't want to intrude."
"Nonsense!" Shigure walked up to the teen and gave him a friendly pat on the shoulder. "You are family after all!"
Yuki stopped glaring and turned to look at the young man who's gaze was on his shoe laces. Kyou snorted and stormed back inside while Shigure continued to smile cheerfully. Kamui avoided the questioning violet eyes of his father before nodding.
