" Daisuke." I gritted out his name between clenched teeth. He poked his head out.

" Yes?"

" Get me a phone. NOW."

" Why?"

" She's trying to wall up my kitchen."

" Got it."

Daisuke ran out of sight, probably to find his mother. He came back a few minutes later, throwing me the phone. I caught it and punched in the one number I learned early in life by heart.

" Hello?"

" Grandma."

" (Y/n)! How nice of you to call!"

" Grandma, I'll have to chat later, but…"

" Yes?"

I burst into furious tears. " You've got to control her! She's taking over my house, my lifestyle, my friends!!"

" Sophie?" she sighed. I sniffled.

" Yes."

" Let me talk to her. Put the phone on speaker." I glanced at Daisuke who nodded, then put the phone on speaker. Aunt Sophie, who was walking underneath the balconies, looked up.

" SOPHIE!!" My grandmother's voice rang out clear as day. Sophie jumped.

" Yes?"

" YOU BEST GET YOU ASS PACKED AND OUT OF THERE WITHIN TWENTY-FOUR HOURS! YOU DON'T WANT ME OVER THERE!"

" Yes ma'am!!"

I smiled. " Thanks grandma."

" No problem, sweetie. Call me again sometime so we can chat."

" Alright."

I hung up and handed the phone back to Daisuke.

" Thank you."

Daisuke just grinned. " She her mother?"

" No, my mother's mom. Sophie learned within the first week of meeting her that she'll bust her ass if she didn't listen."

Daisuke laughed.

Within five hours, Sophie had packed and bought her plane ticket.

" I'm so sorry this had to end so soon!" she bawled. I just smiled.

" Oh, Aunt Sophie?" I said. Daisuke was standing next to me, looking at me from the corner of his eye.

" Yes dear?"

" Daisuke really is my neighbor."

Sophie just stared at me in shock, before she puffed up. Before she said anything, however, I stopped her.

" Not a word, or I'm calling grandma."

" You wouldn't dare."

I held up my cell phone, flipping it open.

" Try me."

Sophie glared at me indignantly.

" Bye Sophie. Hope to never see you again." I said cheerfully. She harrumphed and turned on her heel, slamming the door shut behind her.

" You sure she didn't take anything?"

" I went through her baggage." I pointed to a stack of various items that Sophie had tried to smuggle.

" She was desperate, wasn't she?"

" You have NO idea. I just hope she doesn't come when I graduate. If she does, she's sleeping in a motel." I muttered. Daisuke chuckled.

" Just be glad she's gone."

" I'm already savoring the silence."

" Dark hated her."

" I hate her."

" I personally didn't like her myself." Daisuke muttered.

" Daisuke?"

" Yes?"

I grinned cheekily.

" I love you."

" What do you want?"

I just laughed, finally able to say that without a certain aunt jumping on me--literally and figuratively.
