CHAPTER 4

Kirisawa Residence. 9 am.

"Yes, yes Yanagi. A few minutes and were both set, I just need to pack Mi-chan's powder and hand towels," Fuuko said against the phone between her shoulder and ear. She was standing near the sink, preparing her new roommate's bottle of milk.

"Oh, you better make it fast Fuuko-chan. Recca here is very excited to go to school. He's even tugging my skirt now!" Yanagi on the other line answered, pulling Recca's hands away from her gently.

"Alright! I will, Ok? Let's meet at the nursery's gate! Bye!" Fuuko hung the phone. She twisted the bottle cap close and turned around to check Tokiya.

"Arent you done yet?" she sighed at him restlessly, walking towards the table and enclosing Tokiya's lunch with a clean sheet of cloth, knotting it on the top.

"I would have eaten faster if your toast isn't as chewable as a hollow block," the little boy stared at her with bored eyes before grinding the bread inside his mouth.

Fuuko shot a glare at him. "Hey, I told you I never liked toasted bread and I don't prefer it for breakfast. But you demanded it and I gave you one. And now your complaining, you stupid brat!?"

"I'm not complaining. I was stating the fact as calmly as I can," Tokiya continued eating without sending his face up to look at her.

"Oh just shut up and finish your meal! We have a big day ahead! It's your first day in school, Mi-chan. Be a good boy now!" Fuuko said. She went upstairs and filled Tokiya's backpack with a baby powder and three towels. She also put the bottle of milk after hugging it with a white thick cloth. When she moved downstairs, Tokiya was already on the front door, waiting for her impatiently.

"We're already late, monkey,"

--------------------

After the slow ride from the train, Fuuko and Tokiya finally reached the nursery school's gate. Yanagi was there, waving happily at them. Beside her were Recca and Domon, both grasping a cotton candy on their hands.

"Yanagi!" Fuuko called out, hopping towards her friend while tagging Tokiya along. She was wearing a simple jeans and a plain pink tee. Yanagi was wearing her usual long skirt and a blue blouse with white collar and yellow ribbon below it.

"I'm happy you made it! I really thought you won't be here!" Yanagi hugged Fuuko and smiled at her warmly.

"I'm sorry. Mi-chan here was eating like a girl. He was gulping his food every after a minute," Fuuko rolled her eyes dramatically, eyeing Tokiya as though he's the worst kid on earth.

The silverhead toddler snorted and glared at her. "I was trying to protect my teeth from breaking to fragments, monkey. Your toasts can build the great wall of China,"

"Shut up, brat!" Fuuko hissed and pierced daggers at her small companion.

"Hey, hey you two! It had already been three days since you've been sleeping with each other and you're still having conflicts? Come on, leave the tantrums at home! We are going to school for Pete's sake!" the raven-haired boy, Recca, laughed at them.

As a reward, he got two death-glares from the new comers. Recca just grinned wider.

"I doubt Fuuko-sama will want to cuddle up with Mi-bou, he's skin and bones already. He will not be a very good pillow to cuddle," Domon said a matter-of-factly with arms crossed on his chest.

"Of course she wouldn't, gorilla. I know she would prefer you, primates always stick together," Tokiya retorted, smirking.

Fuuko rolled her eyes unappreciatively. The more days passed, the more the iceman's becoming a brat. And bratter every minute. He even asked for a bottle of milk last night and had to wake up a couple of times at dawn to massage his back.

"I know I should have broken his spine early this morning," she whispered grudgingly at Yanagi.

The shorter girl sweatdropped and smiled reluctantly.

"Fuuko packed me a bottle of milk by the way," little Tokiya put on a smug look.

"Oh yea?!" Domon and Recca shouted at him. "Me too!" both of them smuggled on their bags, caught their bottles and held in straight on Tokiya's face. "SEEEEEEE?"

Tokiya stared at their bottles for a second then smirked proudly. "Mine is bigger," he said simply. "Show it to them, monkey,"

"What?" Fuuko stared at him, confused.

"My milk,"

"What milk?"

Tokiya's eyes widened as he slowly tilted his face up to her. "MY MILK. Where is it?!"

"Oh YOUR milk? Gosh, I forgot it on the sink!" Fuuko clasped her hand on her mouth. "I'm so sorry, Mi-chan!" she stared at him guiltily.

There was a paused. Trembling lips followed the silent moment and big baby blue eyes began to well up with salt water. Tokiya's eyebrows arched down and his lower lip pouted un-Tokiya-ly. "Why did you leave it behinddddddddddd!!!!!!!????????" giant crocodile tears began flooding the floor and the little boy cried loudly at the front gate, catching surprised reactions from the other parents and children, much to Fuuko's amusement.

Recca and Domon glanced at each other and snickered. Yanagi, on the other hand, kneeled down in front of Tokiya and tried soothing his back to make him stop bawling.

"Yanagi-NEECHAN! I don't have milk, what will I do?" he sniffed painfully and cried once more.

"Shhh…I'll give you Recca's milk, alright? Stop crying now," she whispered softly and Tokiya's face lit up.

"Really?" he asked hopefully.

Yanagi nodded and smiled.

"Wait! I wont have milk then!!" Recca looked at Yanagi bewildered.

Yanagi ruffled his raven mane lovingly. "You'll share milk with Domon-kun,"

"WHAT? But—"

They were cut off by the ring of the school's bell, signaling the start of class.

"No buts, Recca-kun. Sharing is loving. Now, lets go," Yanagi shook her head on him.

It was then Tokiya's turned to smirk…wickedly.

-----------------

After settling the kids inside their classroom, Yanagi and Fuuko both sighed audibly outside the classroom's door.

"I cant believe he actually cried because he doesn't have his milk!" Fuuko started the conversation while they were walking towards the nearest lawn, where the kids usually go out and play.

"I guess Mikagami-sempai really liked milk when he was younger," Yanagi agreed.

"Ne, Yanagi-chan. Don't you find the boys changing gradually everyday?" Fuuko sat on a swing and slowly rocked her chair.

"Eh? What do you mean?"

"Well, during the first day of their 'transformation', with a quote, Tokiya was the same grumpy Tokiya, but the next day he was beginning to get…"

"Hmmm? To get what?"

"…a little bit un-Tokiya,"

Yanagi cast a questioning look.

" What I'm trying to say is, he's slowly becoming the child of his age. He's starting to show signs of being the toddler that he is now!" Fuuko exclaimed, moving her hands theatrically to add emotion.

"Like what?"

"Like…when he asked for his milk! And in a BOTTLE! Come on, we know the big Tokiya never asked for a milk, much more drink it. And goodness, not in a BOTTLE!"

Yanagi giggled at Fuuko's exasperated expression. "Maybe they're just adapting at their forms. Children on their age really like milk, Recca-kun and Domon-kun also have bottled milk, if you noticed. They asked me to make each of them," Yanagi seated on the other swing and held its chain straps to steady her.

Fuuko looked at her friend, agitated. "That's it isn't it? They just become kids. I mean, REAL KIDS!"

"Oh! I get you now," Yanagi giggled slightly. "But…is there something wrong about it? They're really cute, Mikagami-sempai even had you stared at him during the night they were transformed, REMEMBER?" Yanagi teased again.

Three days passed already but her bestfriend was still pestering her about how she reacted after seeing Tokiya's sleeping little form. What was wrong with that? She never really denied the fact that her college schoolmate was really someone they describe as 'hot' and sometimes even 'beautiful'.

Fuuko rolled her eyeballs and snorted. She remembered that night and whatever rationale she gave for acting like that will all result to one thing, that she really found him heavenly gorgeous at his new form.

"I'm not in love with him," Fuuko answered, knowing fully what Yanagi was implying.

This just made Yanagi grinned almost deviously. "Why too defensive Fuuko-chan? I was just telling you how you reacted," she giggled knowingly.

"Just to make sure you wont have any prejudgments," Fuuko answered, irritated.

Yanagi continued grinning, making Fuuko scowl at her petulantly.

There were a few minutes of silence that was broken by a loud booming sound from the classroom. Fuuko and Yanagi immediately stood up and stared baffling at each other. Without further ado, they both scrambled to the nursery room too find the room already opened. They hurried inside, looked everywhere and stared wide-eyed at the wrestling kids at the center of the room.

No other than their precious little delinquents in the name of Recca, Domon, Tokiya and Kurei.

Wait. KUREI??

Yes, you heard it right. Kurei was in the house indeed. And he was one of the main actors of the commotion. On his hand was a bottled milk, which was also held by another kid who happened to look too big to be a toddler.

"Give me that!" the big bully-looking kid pulled the bottled milk towards him.

Kurei simply stared at him with only one hand holding the bottle. "No."

"Give me that or I'll punch your face!" the bully shouted before delivering a straight punch towards Kurei's face.

Little Kurei was about to duck away from the punch when another hand caught the bully's big fist.

"Nobody hurts my brother! NOBODY!"

Kurei glanced sideway and found Recca winking at him.

"Stop meddling, Recca" Kurei said.

" Your fight is my fight, Kurei. I know mom prepared that bottle for you that's why you don't want to give it," Recca answered and glared at the big kid in front of them. With a quick move, Recca was able to punch the kid from below and sent him flying towards the window.

AND this was the noise heard by the girls.

"Tokiya! Domon! Stop that this instance!" Fuuko marched forward, dragging them away from the other kids. They were giving their last attacks to the bully's comrades when Fuuko pulled them.

"Recca! Kurei! Are you alright?" Yanagi kneeled down and hugged the both of them, almost popping out Kurei's eyes, shocked at the tender gesture.

"I'm alright, Hime. Haha! You know I can defeat everyone!" Recca beamed widely, proud at what he did.

"I'm happy you're alright. How about you, Kurei?" Yanagi asked the other one.

"Hmp." He answered, turning around and drinking his milk.

"Okaasan was here earlier, she brought Kurei too!" Recca said.

"Oh! I thought you don't want to go to school, Kurei-san," Yanagi stared at Kurei, smiling.

"Kage Hoshi insisted. She said she'll give me this milk if I go to school. Bad old lady," Kurei raised his bottle and showed it to Yanagi.

Yanagi chortled. "I see," then both she and Recca laughed silently.

"What do you think you two were doing?!!" Fuuko shouted, scaring the other kids inside the class. "And were the heck is your teacher?!" she then glanced anywhere for someone older than them.

"Fuuko-sama, we were not the ones who started the fight. It was them, I promise!" Domon pointed the limping kids laid unconsciously on the floor.

Fuuko slapped her palm on her forehead. "You or not, you know better than to fight kids! You are too old to do that!"

Silently, Tokiya and Domon just stared at her with poker faces.

"You're the only old lady here, monkey," Tokiya said after awhile, occasionally taking a sip on Recca's bottle (which he stole from Recca's backpack).

"Why you!!!" Fuuko's temper burst out and she was ready to knock the little iceblock and dump him to Antartica when the door flung open, revealing a tall man holding a package with both hands.

His eyes broadened at the setting he just entered and glimpsed immediately at the people at the center. "Am I in the right room?"

Yanagi stood up, gasping. "Oh, are you the nursery teacher, Kudo Hideki?"

The man nodded and Yanagi stared at Fuuko for reinforcement.

Fuuko moved towards the teacher and explained calmly what happened.

The teacher smiled. "Oh I see, are they you're uhhh…children?" he cocked his head sideway to see Tokiya and Domon glaring at him. "No wonder, they seemed so tough indeed,"

Fuuko chuckled. "No, they're not. I mean, they're not my children. I'm sorry again for the commotion, we'll just bring the wounded children to the clinic and tell the nurse what happened," Fuuko offered.

"Oh, I would really appreciate that. Thank you…uhhh…" he was reaching Fuuko's hand but stopped midway, knowing he didn't know her name.

"Fuuko. Kirisawa Fuuko, Kudo-san," she received his hand enthusiastically and shook it gently, noticing how strong his arm was. "And this is my friend, Sakoshita Yanagi. Were both in college,"

Yanagi also shook the teacher's hand and bowed respectfully. "Nice meeting you, Kudo-san,"

"Same here," his handsome face smiled warmly. "It's my first day as a teacher so I'm kinda tense," he added after they finished their handshake.

"Hey! He looked like one of the flame dragons!" Recca pointed the man's face.

"I looked like a dragon?" Hideki Kudo choked, amused.

"Ohhh..yea. He really does, but I dunno who," Domon stared at him too. Tokiya did the same and then Fuuko joined the staring.

"Saiha. He looks like Saiha," Kurei answered helpfully. "You should know that better since he's your flame dragon, Recca," Kurei glared at his little brother.

"I only remember their dragon forms, Kurei!" Recca backfired. "I barely see their human forms!"

"As do I. But I remember them very well," Kurei retorted in a 'duh' tone.

"Kindly enlighten me what these kids are talking about?" Hideki looked at Fuuko.

Fuuko sweatdropped. "It's their uhhh…their favorite game! Fire man Recca and the fire team is their favorite action game when they're at home," she lied.

Hideki's brows quirked upward in amusement. "Maybe we could also play it here one of these days," he smiled kindly.

Fuuko and Yanagi nodded, smilingly hesitantly.

---------------

After an exhausting day from school, Fuuko and Tokiya finally came home. One dying, one stoic as usual.

"God, I'm so tired!" Fuuko plunged her lithe form on the couch. Tokiya, on the other hand, just stared at her and rolled his eyes.

He looked everywhere and observed the unfamiliar silence inside the Kirisawa house. "Where's your family?"

"They went to Hokkaido early in the morning to get my cousin who wants to take a short vacation here. They'll be back tomorrow," Fuuko answered unenergetically.

"Really?" the little boy sent a bored look on her way then paused for awhile, before opening his mouth again to talk. "Don't sleep like that,"

Moaning, Fuuko ignored him and compressed the couch pillow tighter in her arms. "Just go upstairs, Mi-chan." She brought the pillow to her face and readied herself for a nap.

"You're shirt's open. I can see your tummy and your bra," he answered monotonously.

Fuuko's eyes threw open. She quickly sat up and frowned at her former companion. "You pervert!"

Instead of receiving an it's-your-fault look (like what he usually showed), her jaw almost dropped on the ground upon seeing him smirked. And not just a smirk, more of a take-your-clothes-off smirk.

The perverted BRAT!!!

"Will you cook dinner now? I'm hungry. I'll go upstairs and change," he grinned and ran blithely upstairs, leaving the shocked Fuuko gawking at his departing form.

After recovering from the shock, she went to the kitchen, put on the apron and mirrored on the shiny aluminum frying pan.

Oh, just you wait Tokiya. I'll get you next time. Just you wait…

And that thought was followed with a witchy evil laugh.

--------------

A/N: Ok. Sorry if I took too long but school's literally killing me and when I get home, I become too tired to write the update. Not just that, I also don't have all the time to write. –sigh—sometimes, life really isn't fair to everybody. Anyway, I'm sorry if I made Tokiya a Milk whore. And I know its soo unlike him to cry over a bottle of milk, gah!, but I know someone who acts like Tokiya and have his attitude (he's like the perfect living Mikagami), and his mom told me that he was so selfish when it comes to his bottled milk and never goes to nursery without it. I got the idea from that. Haha!

Ok, so if you wanna ask why Tokiya acted perverted…it's because he really was perverted when he was a kid, I bet every Tokiya fan knows that.

Since I have sinned (by not updating sooner), I'll give you a teaser about the next chapter. Fuuko's going to punish little Tokiya, of course. What punishment will Fuuko do to our cute little guy?

NEXT CHAPTER: Tokiya's torments.
