Sorry for the long wait. I was visiting Korea and Japan for awhile. When I came back to the states, I was thrown into school work then the U-Kiss concert happened in NYC. It was just really crazy and busy for me. But now I'm back! I made this chapter extra long to make up for my absence. Thank you everyone for the kind words and encouragement. Thank you as well for taking the time to read this. Please enjoy :]


I woke up with butterflies fluttering in my stomach. I think I counted to around 300 sheep before falling asleep; I was way too excited to go to sleep. Then it dawned on me. This was my first date. My first real date with a real boy! The only "dates" I have ever gone on were days spent with Syusuke. I should just act normal be myself, that's what all the magazines say to do. I checked my watch to find that I still had 3 hours to meet him at Tokyo Station. It takes around 20 minutes to get to the station and another 20 to arrive at Tokyo Station. So I roughly have around 2 hours to shower and get changed. Changed. Change into what exactly? What do I wear? What do girls wear to dates, especially to first dates?!

"Onii-san!" I cried running to Syusuke's room and jumping into bed with me.

"Aw, what's wrong?" He groggily hugged me like body pillow, preparing himself for another hour of sleep.

"Onii-san, my date is today and I don't know what to wear." The moment I said date, Syusuke's eyes shot opened.

"There there," He started to pet my head. "You go ahead and shower and I'll prepare you an outfit that I know he will love on you." He smiled.

"Onii-san, you're the best!" I kissed his cheeks before jumping into the shower.

When Syusuke heard the shower running, he took out his phone and speed dialed his dear little brother.

"Aniki? What do you want? It's 7am on a Saturday." Yuuta yawned on the phone, obviously irritated with his morning wake up call.

"Yuuta, we have a problem." Yuuta straightened himself. Judging from the seriousness of his brother's tone, he knew something was wrong.

"What's wrong?"

"Rina has a date today… with a boy." Syusuke paused for dramatic effect. Yuuta was seriously ticked off. His brother woke up on the one day he was able to sleep in because their sister had a date today?

"You sister complex weirdo! Rina is old enough to go on dates! " He yelled at Syusuke. Yuuta loves his twin sister but the relationship between his brother and sister is borderline incest.

"Yuuta, you don't understand. This boy is all wrong for Rina. He'll end up corrupting our cute sister and do unspeakable things to her." Syusuke defended.

"Is he really that bad? I mean, it's Rina we're talking about. She wouldn't accept an invitation from a bad guy and plus she's scared of guys. If she said yes to this one, he must've seemed harmless enough." Yuuta knew his sister is smart; she wouldn't be dumb enough to go out with a bad guy.

"Yuuta, we have to protect Rina. She's the most naïve and vulnerable out of all of us. I just want to keep her safe."

"Alright, what do you want me to do?" Yuuta gave in his brother. Syusuke had a point. Out of all the Fuji siblings, Rina was the youngest and most naïve. All he wanted for his sister to be safe and happy.

Syusuke had a knack for manipulating people, especially his little brother. He's protective of his brother as well but right now Rina is the one that is in danger. With the newly recruited help from his little brother, he'll make sure the date will end with Rina coming back into his arms. Now he had to prepare an outfit for his dear little sister. Syusuke rummaged through his little's drawers to find a forgotten yellow t-shirt with a Rilakkuma sleeping on the front. He also took out a long brown skirt; he had only seen Rina wore once before on one of their outings together. Syusuke was satisfied with his choice. Obviously to Syusuke, anything on his sister will absolutely look cute but in the eyes of another male, she wouldn't appear as such.

When I came out of the shower and looked at the outfit laid out on the bed picked by Syusuke, I was at a loss of words. Was this what boys like on girls these days? It doesn't look really cute. The Rilakkuma shirt? Really? I haven't worn that shirt in years and the skirt is something I wasn't too fond of.

"Onii-san…Are you sure this is okay?" I tried them on and stared at the mirror with my face twisted in uncertainty.

"You look absolutely adorable." Syusuke responded.

"If Onii-san thinks so, I guess it must be cute." There was no way my brother would purposely pick an ugly outfit for me to wear in public. After brushing my hair, I walked downstairs to get some breakfast.

"Rina. What are you wearing?" Yumiko was confused at my choice of attire.

"You don't like it? Onii-san picked it out for my date today." I responded doing a little turn for her to see. Yumiko held in the need to burst out laughing. There was no way she's going to let her little sister go out on a date in that. This is her first date and she was not going to let her brother ruin it for Rina.

"Come here, I'll fix you up." Yumiko took my hand and led me back upstairs. Instead of the outfit a "kindergartner wouldn't wear" as she put it, she gave me a cute long-sleeved white blouse that had a peter pan collar and a light blue mini skirt. She paired off my outfit with white high heels and let me borrow one of her designer bags. After checking to see if my outfit came together like she wanted, she applied some make up to my face and redone my hair. When I looked into the mirror, it was like looking at a girl from the fashion magazines. It feels like me but it doesn't look like me. I mentally took note that I should wear make up and curl my hair more often.

"Onee-san! Thank you so much! I look so pretty!" I gave her a hug; I should have gone to Yumiko in the beginning.

"Don't worry about it, baby sister. I just want you to have fun! Introduce him to the family one day!" she winked.

"Onii-san! Look! Onee-san dressed me up for today! I feel so pretty!" I wanted to show Syusuke before I left the house. Syusuke was at a loss of words. His sister looked seriously pretty. It drove him to try harder to make sure this guy doesn't fall for his baby sister.

"You look absolutely stunning." Syusuke couldn't deny how lovely his sister looked.

"Thank you! I'll see you later!" I gave one last kiss on the cheek and walked out of the house. Everything was going on schedule. In another 40 minutes, I'll be able to see Ootori again. My happiness could barely contain itself. Shortly after I left the house, Syusuke followed me out. He texted Yuuta to meet him at Tokyo Station in a different exit from where Rina was meeting her date.

I checked my watch and make sure I was on time. I was already 10 minutes but I saw Ootori standing next the pillar. He arrived before me so I wouldn't wait for him…that or he was just as excited as I. I blushed at the sight of him. He's so tall and handsome. His casual clothing makes him look like an undiscovered model. He had the height and face for it. He was wearing a pair of blue jeans, white t-shirt, and a light blue button up over it. From the color palette of his outfit, we looked like a matching couple. I blushed even harder at the unintentional matching.

"O-Otori-san." I stumbled on my words. I blushed at my stuttering. Cursed my inability to talk normally in front of him.

"Fuji-s-!" His smile faded into embarrassment. "You look b-beautiful" He put his hand over his face to hide his blushing. Seeing him blush made me feel reassured that I wasn't the only one embarrassed.

"Thank you." I rubbed my arm shyly. His compliment had more of an effect on me that Syusuke's.

"Our matching color makes us look like a couple." He laughed, rubbing the back of his head. Then stopped once he realized what he had just said. "Not like we're a couple or anything. I mean this is just our first date…and I just said something completely stupid didn't I?" He felt like he was making it worse for himself.

"No! Not at all! Honestly, I was thinking the same when I first saw you waiting." I admitted.

"I guess we're always thinking the same thing." He sheepishly smiled. His smile alone is already makes me my heart pound.

"So what are we doing for our date?" I asked, excited on how this date is going to play out.

"I was thinking of taking you to the zoo, if you're okay with that?" He politely responded.

"The zoo?" My eyes lit up. "I haven't gone to the zoo in ages!" I brightly smiled as he led me to the train that was heading towards the zoo.

While we were standing in the train, we started to talk about one another. Such as our likes and dislikes, just like a continuation of our conversation at Hyotei the day before, until someone bumped into me from behind. I turned around to apologize to the person to lock eyes with my twin brother.

"Yuuta!" I exclaimed with a mixture of happiness and surprise.

"Ah..Rina! Fancy running into you here. In this train…" Yuuta responded awkwardly.

"How have you been? I missed you so much! Onii-san and Onee-san misses you too!" I smiled giving him a hug. I really did miss my twin. It feels more complete having him next to me.

"I've been good. Just training and school." He responded. "Who's your friend."

"Ah, I'm so sorry." I apologized, I should have introduced him initially. "This is my twin brother, Yuuta."

"Hello. Nice to meet you, my name is Ootori Choutarou." Ootori introduced himself politely.

"Where are you guys headed to?" Yuuta asked nonchalantly.

"The zoo!" I responded cheerfully.

"Oh what a coincidence…I'm going to the zoo too." Yuuta felt he was just spitting out lines. Before he and Syusuke followed the couple inside the train, Syusuke instructed him to bump into Rina and somehow include himself in their little date. He wanted him to tell Rina that he had a date as well but his date stood him up so being the kind sister Rina is, she'll include him making Ootori irritated at their interrupted date. Best-case scenario is Ootori realizing that there is no way that he is able to come between the Fuji siblings.

"Oh really? Are you meeting up with someone?" I asked. If Yuuta was going on a date with a girl, I want to meet the lucky lady.

"I was, but she had to cancel on me today. I was already planning on going so I decided to go…alone." He made sure to stress the word alone.

"That's so unfortunate Fuji-san. If you'd like, would you join us today, if that's okay with your sister." He looked sympathetic to the male Fuji twin. Truth be told, if Rina had stood him up, he would have going to the Zoo alone too.

"Ootori-san, I was thinking the same thing." I smiled and linked arms with Yuuta. "Please join us. We need to catch up anyways."

This was not how Syusuke had wanted to happen. He wanted Rina to invite and have Ootori be the one annoyed in the group. Now looking at the trio, only Yuuta is the only annoyed for being dragged into Syusuke's plans. Ootori was a worthy adversary. Syusuke has to kick it up a notch to drive him away.

"Yuuta, I wish you'd come home more often." I leaned towards my twin and held his hand. Ootori noticed his date getting closer and closer to her brother. The public it was the Fuji twins out on a date and him being the awkward third wheel. He was slightly disheartened looking at the two so close together but on the other hand; he couldn't bring himself to voice his opinion. This was her twin brother that she hasn't seen in a long time. Seeing her happy was good enough for him. They'll be plenty of opportunities throughout the date for him to try and get closer to Rina. If today fails, another date would be great.

Yuuta noticed the serene loook in Ootori's face. This guy was perfectly fine with his date's brother being part of their date. He looked content as long as he was able to be near her. The way he looks at his twin sister is so full kindness, he felt bad for interrupting their date. The way Syusuke described this guy is the complete opposite of what he's seeing for himself. Yuuta was actually almost convinced that this guy could really make Rina happy and that's what really mattered in the end. His weird sister complex brother just have to realize this as well.
