A/N: Hihi everyone, been a while I know, but I've been totally engrossed in KH2 fics. I've been reading like a gazillion and they're all so awesome, and me with my low self-esteemed self, didn't want to write to my crappy stories. Forgive? No? I figured… I've been having the urge to quit writing all together for a while now, or go on hiatus or something…but then I'm like, "Anisa, I think some people like your pathetic attempts at writing, don't quit now." but then its like "But if I don't like my pathetic attempts, what the hell do I do?" The answer…I have no freakin clue. Anyways, while I rack my brain to figure out why people like my stories, here's the fourth chapter.

Disclaimer: No, it's not mine. Four times in a row, somebody give me a pat on my back because I SO deserve it for not forgetting. But a punch in my face for such a slow update. I deserve that too. Not too hard though, I bruise like a peach.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

(The next day)

The sun beamed through the windows of the classroom. It was now 4 o'clock and Marika had cleaning duty along with Ken. To both of their dismay the other students that were supposed to be there…were not. Whether it was fate or the students ditched, they would never know. Yuzuyu had already left an hour ago saying she had to get home to help shop and that she would call Marika later leaving Ken feeling a little jealous. But now, the problem at hand was how to handle being in the same room with a potential crush.

"Ken, would you please--" Marika stopped sweeping to cover her coughing.

"Marika, I'm doing the best I can, if the wind would stop blowing--" Ken coughed as well.

"I'm going to die from chalk inhalation." She coughed again. The chalk dust kept flying in from outside, making it easy for Marika and Ken to get a big whiff of it every time Ken clasped the erasers together.

"What do you want me to do Marika?" Ken asked in a frustrated tone, coughing as well; he knew Marika was easily annoyed but he wanted to get out of there as fast possible. So getting these erasers cleaned as fast as possible was the best option.

"I don't know, wait till the damn wind stops blowing to clean the erasers."

"Alright alright, don't get angry." Ken placed the black erasers near on the windowsill and stood there. That killed that plan, now he was stuck watching Marika sweep.

"Thank you." Marika continued to sweep. There was silence for a good five minutes, neither really knowing what to say. Previous conversations arising in both their thoughts;

'I do NOT like Ken…Marika. Yuzu was only being silly, you shouldn't be so nervous being alone with him.' Marika thought.

"I don't like Marika…She's cute but not my type at all…or is she…NO, NO…' Ken thought and smacked himself. Marika heard the noise and looked up.

"What's your problem?"

"Huh, oh, um, I, uh, forgot to do something yesterday is all."

"What'd you forget to do?"

"Something silly, nothing to worry about." He lied.

"Right. Right."

They've known each other since pre-school, why they couldn't find something decent to talk about was beyond them. They both kept mentally smacking themselves for the lack of conversation. The atmosphere just became worse. They both sighed and hoped they'd finish fast so they could leave.

(An hour ago)

Yuzuyu walked out of the school holding up her hand to shade herself from the sunlight. She stopped and turned around when she heard a familiar voice calling to her. She smiled when she realized whom the voice belonged to.

"Hi Shouta."

"Yuzuyu, would you mind if I walked you home? You seem to be my only friend at the moment."

"I don't mind. I didn't have any one to walk with today anyway."

"How fortunate for me." Shouta gave her a charming smile. She blushed at the handsome brunette. They turned and walked out the exit of their school.

"So is your house far from here?" Shouta asked trying to make conversation.

"Not really, about ten minutes by walking. Yours?"

"Oh, my house is in the opposite direction." Yuzuyu turned to him confused.

"Then why on earth are you going this way?"

"I wanted to walk with you remember?" He said in a shy voice beginning to feel like an idiot.

"Oh…but I don't want to be an inconvenience to you."

"Inconvenience? You? Never. I'm happy to be walking with you. Besides, I'm not in a rush to go home." Yuzuyu didn't know how to respond to Shouta. All she could do was blush, to think that he wanted to walk her all the way home and it's totally out of his way flattered her to no end. She looked at him when she found words to say.

"Well…thank you." Shouta's worries disappeared.

"Any time." He gave her that smile again. Her heart skipped a beat. There was silence for a bit. Shouta began looking around at all the building and beautiful houses that he passed. He wished he remembered more of this place, but the last time he was here was ten years ago, who would be able to remember anything from that far back. For some reason though, that didn't include Yuzuyu, although he didn't remember her the instant he looked at her, he remembered her quicker than he would anything else in this town.

"There's so much I can't seem to remember about this place. Makes me kind of sad." He spoke softly so as not to startle Yuzuyu when he spoke.

"Oh. Well honestly it's not your fault. Its been ten years since you've been here, remembering things could be quite a task don't you think?" Yuzuyu thought it was a bit silly to feel that way but then again she could understand why he felt that way. Who likes to forget things that were once important?

"I guess you're right." Shouta looked around at a passing sign and then toward the ground.

"Cheer up Shouta, we remembered each other, didn't we? I say that's a heck of an accomplishment. I mean to think you'd remember a person that you've only known for two weeks when you were five years old says a lot." She smiled at him. "I think it shows how strong of a bond we really have."

"Yuzuyu." He said in a faint whisper smiling at her words.

"So, no beating yourself over not remembering much ok."

"Ok."

"Well, here's my house…" She noticed the two cars out front her house. "Oh look, Kippei-onii-chan and Kokoro-onee-chan are here! Even Satsuki and Ayame! What's going on I wonder."

"Kippei? Sounds familiar too."

"He's my cousin, he used to pick me up and drop me off at pre-school. He's really tall and blonde." Shouta tried to remember but was failing miserably. He frowned. He was also confused, why would she call her cousin "big brother" he assumed they were really close.

"It's ok if you don't remember Shouta, you said you wouldn't beat yourself up."

"You're right I'm sorry." As soon as he said that Kippei walked out of the house with a smile. Shouta only remember the blonde somewhat.

"Yuzu!!" The happy blonde opened his arms for a hug.

"Kippei-onii-chan!!!" She ran over to hug him. She was always happy to see Kippei ever since he moved out she never missed a chance to see her favorite cousin who took such good care of her for so long. Better than her own mother.

"How ya been kiddo?"

"Pretty good, what brings you here?"

"Visiting mom and you. I also came to thank you for your help with Kokoro's room, she completely loved it!" Yuzuyu smiled brightly, that was good news to her, she was glad her input helped Kippei. Kippei stopped talking and looked over to Shouta who was standing at the gate quietly.

"Talk about feeling rude. I'm sorry for snatching Yuzu away from you like that…" Kippei tried to search for a name because his face seemed pretty familiar.

"No it's my fault for not re-introducing you to Shouta." Yuzuyu said also feeling rude, leaving Shouta standing there.

"Re-introducing? I know you?" Kippei asked incredulously toward Shouta. Yuzuyu nodded her head.

"Remember the boy who went to the pre-school for about two weeks and I always played with him?" Kippei thought for long moment.

"OH! SHOUTA! The one who moved away right?! I remember you! Sorry I didn't recognize you at first, you've gotten pretty big; you were up to my knee back then. I can't tell you how torn up Yuzu was about you leaving, you should've seen her, a weeping and sob-- ow!" He was interrupted by a pinch in the side. "Yuzu what was that for?"

"Kippei-onii-chan I would appreciate it, if you didn't get all nostalgic on us. People might think you're old."

"AH! Don't think that!! I'm only twenty-six! That's not old! Right, right?" Shouta giggled at the panicking Kippei and the embarrassed Yuzuyu, they were very fun to watch.

"No Kippei-san, I don't think twenty-six is old."

"GAH! Kippei-san!? P-please, just Kippei…just Kippei, this is getting too much for my heart. Me? Old? How can that be?" Kippei held his forehead in disbelief. He hated being considered old; it was a sore spot for him. He's not even middle aged and he's having a crisis.

"Well, I think I should get home Yuzuyu, I'll see you tomorrow." Shouta turned around feeling a bit out of place in the loving family atmosphere.

"Shouta wait!" Shouta turned around and was engulfed buy slender arms around his neck in a matter of seconds. He smiled as he wrapped his arms around Yuzuyu's waist. Yuzuyu enjoyed hugging the taller male in her arms, he was always so warm, like a teddy bear even.

"Can't let you leave without giving you one of those and thank you for walking me home now could I?" She said after letting him go.

"I suppose not." He smiled. His heart seemed to speed up as she hugged him; he had to admit, he liked the feeling.

"That was so cute." Kippei said smirking with his arms folded. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you two were a couple. I bet you guys will end up married too." They both blushed furiously.

"Kippei-onii-chan you old man! Don't say things like that!"

"AH! Yuzu! I was only kidding, don't call me old!! That hurts more than you know!!"

"Good!" Yuzuyu said still embarrassed. Shouta laughed.

"See ya later Yuzuyu."

"See ya." Shouta turned in the opposite direction and began to make his way home smiling.

Yuzuyu walked over to Kippei and pulled his ear walking to the entrance of the house.

"I'm telling Kokoro-onee-chan."

"Wait a minute, what for?! Ow. Ow. Ow."

"You completely embarrassed me Kippei-onii-chan!"

"I'm sorry, it was really cute! How could I not say something!? Ow!!"

"You could've tried!"

"Sheesh Yuzu, you're a little meanie now aren't you?" Yuzuyu twisted his ear even more.

"OUCH! I was only asking a question!!"

Yuzuyu laughed a bit making sure Kippei didn't hear her or it would ruin the effect. She walked into the living room where everyone was and smiled.

"Hi everyone!" Yuzuyu cooed, happy to see some of her family in one room.

"Hey Yuzu!" Everyone replied simultaneously.

"HEY! Does anyone not see her pulling my ear?! MOM, tell her to let go!"

"Obviously you did something Kippei." She replied, sipping her tea.

"DAD!"

"Sorry son." He said in his stoic voice.

"KOKORO! SWEETIE!! Tell her to let go!"

"Nope. I'm sure she has a good reason."

"Cold family this is." Yuzuyu laughed and let go of Kippei's ear. She hugged him and he started to laugh.

"How am I supposed to be angry if you make me laugh?"

"Don't know, but I definitely like the laughing Yuzu much better" He kissed her forehead.

"I'm sure you do, means no pain for you." Yuzuyu said with a smirk.

"True. Very true." Kippei replied smiling.
