~Next Day~
Kasumi moaned in her sleep, turning to the side in the bed she laid in. She smacked her lips, giving out a good yawn. The young girl peeked an eye out, scanning her surroundings to see where she was at.
I'm in a…bedroom..? she thought, her other eye open as she quickly sat up. She gasped, automatically turning her head as soon as she heard some movement.
Kasumi's eyes widen in disbelief as soon as she saw the one and only…Haruka Kuran.
The said male sat up in bed, yawning as he rubbed his eyes. Kasumi stared, looking down to see that he had no shirt on, showing off his well-toned muscles. A blush crept up on her young cheeks.
Haruka didn't even notice her as he turned to the opposite side, pushing the covers off himself. He brushed some of his hair back as Kasumi realized that he was only in his underwear. The blush on her cheeks darkened.
"H-Haruka..?" she stuttered in a squeaky voice, not believing her eyes as she stared and didn't even bother to look away.
"Hm?" He turned around seeing her for the first time. He had to blink for a second to make sure he wasn't seeing things before remembering why she was here.
A smirk cracked onto his lips, eyes shining mischievously as ever. "Ah, Kasumi…" he sighed, enjoying the taste of her name ringing onto his tongue. "What a pleasant surprise to see you…" He glanced down, smirk widening before looking back up. "In such a lovely attire…" he mused seductively.
Kasumi raised a brow at his words before looking down to see what he was talking about. A blush once again crept up on her cheeks. She was only wearing nothing but a bra and panties. Kasumi looked horrified, turning to look back at Haruka as he chuckled at her.
"You look cute blushing like that." he teased, making her blush even more.
Kasumi quickly grabbed more of the sheets, covering herself up as she glared at her brother. "Why you…What did you do to me?" she growled, not liking to think about the worst idea to come popping up.
Haruka laughed at her, smoothing his hair back as he did so. He flashed her a sly smile and said as sweetly and as innocently as possible, "Why, whatever do you mean by that, Kasumi dear?"
Kasumi's eyebrow twitched in annoyance. "I mean by this." She pointed at him in just his underwear and her in just her undergarments.
Haruka continued to smile. "This was not my doing."
She gave him a blank look and hissed, "Of course this was your doing!" She leaned forward, making sure that the covers won't fall. She didn't want to give Haruka another eyeful.
He chuckled. "You mean, you don't remember at all?" He leaned in towards her rather seductively as he crawled on the bed. Kasumi gulped, tightening her grip on the covers.
"Remember what?" she snapped, and then felt Haruka cup her cheek as he used his other hand to brush some hair out of her face. She looked away from him.
"Yesterday, when we had dinner." he purred, facing her head towards his as their eyes looked. His red-wine eyes matched perfectly with her brown ones. Kasumi blushed at how close her rather was, becoming aware that he was basically on top of her and was holding himself up.
Kasumi thought on about what he said. Yesterday…at dinner…
A flashback then hits her.
Once done with her spaghetti dinner, Kasumi looked up to see that Haruka was staring at her, smiling rather creepily than usual.
She raised a brow, giving off a little shiver. "What?"
He chuckled, waving a hand as he laid down his utensils. "Nothing…just…thinking." he sighed out, glancing away as Kasumi gave him a strange look.
She then looked around once more, spotting Sasuke as he served others at their tables. She noticed that young girls about her age were giggling like schoolgirls as they eyes him up and down. Sasuke laughed with them as well.
Kasumi felt a little…upset. She wondered to herself about that feeling as she continued to watch.
Haruka smiled at some women who smiled seductively back, waving a finger for him to come on over. He just waved, chuckling slightly as they pouted. It was true that a male like him should take up an offer like that for any beautiful women…it's just that…
He turned his head towards Kasumi. The pretty, mysterious girl who is Juri's twin as well as his date. He couldn't just leave her and go for another woman. It wasn't very gentlemanly like. Besides…
Haruka watched as she was staring back at something, sighing softly to herself.
It would feel like…betrayal; wrong doing. Somewhere, deep inside his heart, he knew that Kasumi had made her way in. One thing for sure was that she was in there long before he even saw her-that he could state as a fact. Haruka rubbed his chin in thought.
I couldn't possibly have…he shook his head. True, Juri was still there in his heart as he longed for her, but…Kasumi had helped soothe that longing by making her presence real.
He narrowed his eyes, realizing that Kasumi was staring at Sasuke. Jealousy bubbled as he had the urge to just kill Sasuke right then and there, though…He sighed and looked down.
Darn…I need a drink…he thought sourly, trying to ease these emotions he had long ago when he fought for Juri.
Haruka raised a hand politely, calling forth an employee as s young girl walked up.
"Yes..?" she muttered, staring at him in awe as she knew who he was.
Haruka cleared his throat, catching Kasumi's attention as she snapped her head his way. She looked a little shaken once realizing that he was still with her. Guilt rose in her body as Kasumi knew that deep down inside, though she will never admit it, that Haruka was her date for this dinner. It's rather ignorant of her to not know that since, after all, he was kind enough to bring her along.
"I'd like to have some wine if you wouldn't mind." He flashed the girl a smile. She blushed, nodding her head quickly.
"O-Of c-course, H-Haruka-sama." she stuttered, dashing off to get what he had politely asked for.
Haruka then turned to Kasumi, noticing her giving him a soft look. He raised a brow. "Something wrong…" He smirked, "Angel-cake's?"
Kasumi snapped out of her daze, glaring at her older brother for the new nickname. "No," she growled. "Nothing is wrong."
Haruka chuckled and gave her a sly look before he turned just in time to see his drink.
The girl from before blushed madly as she said in a trembling tone, "H-Here y-you g-go H-Haruka-sama."
Haruka, being the gentleman he was, gave the girl a sweet smile as he took the drink out of her hands.
He then sets his drink down onto the table, sighing a bit as he brushed some of his brown locks back.
Kasumi eyed him for a second before looking down at hid drink. "You…drink?" she questioned, wrinkling her nose in detest and then looking back up at him.
Haruka nodded, raising a brow. "Why? You don't..?" he asked curiously, leaning in towards her.
Kasumi blushed, turning her head away. "I never had a drink…" she muttered, feeling a little embarrassed.
Haruka couldn't help but to smirk as he laughed at her. She was just…too adorable right now! "I see…" He then reached down, picking up the glass filled with red wine before putting it towards his lips.
"Wanna taste?" he asked, quite seductively if she noted once she whipped her head back in his direction. Her eyes widen in disbelief as he continued to smirk.
Kasumi watched as he slowly held the glass to is lips, tilting it upward as the red liquid slowly went into his mouth. He made the drink look tasty as he pulled the glass away, licking his lips as he stared at the whole time while doing so.
"Kasumi…" he whispered, pushing the cup towards her.
She stared at the glass before looking back up at him. She raised a brow. "Aren't I…a little too young to drink..?"
He shook his head, smiling widely. "Nah," he chuckled, "You're old enough. Besides, a girl like you looks like she needs a good drink." He then winked at her, making Kasumi blush madly.
"F-Fine." she stuttered, reaching out as she picked up the drink. Her big, brown eyes gazed at the red liquid, wondering what's so great about wine. She placed the cup to her lips, looking at Haruka as he waved at her to take a sip.
Kasumi shrugged slightly, tilting the drink back as the cool, liquid touched her tongue. Her eyes soon widen, and she pulled the drink back in disgust. She gave her brother a horrified look. The taste of the bitterness made a shiver ran down her spine.
Haruka propped an elbow up on the table, laying his head in his hand as he just smiled away. "Bitter?" he joked, laughing.
Kasumi glared as she turned her head away. "Shut-up!" She blushed.
He laughed again. "Oh, darling…." he sighed out, "Heh, you'll get used to the taste. And once that's over, the wine will taste better than you had thought."
Her eyebrow twitched. "How will that…" she hissed, "Ever taste good?" She eyed the drink with wary.
"Trust me. Once you drink some more of it, all your problems will go down the drain…"
She didn't know whether to believe Haruka or not but maybe after a little few more taste tests, she'll decide whether or not it's good. Kasumi picked up the glass once more, giving Haruka a look, before taking a few more sips.
She gagged, but saw Haruka motion her to continue. She was hesitant at first, but seeing Haruka giving her a mocking stare, she thought otherwise and drank some more.
Once she had finished off her first drink, Haruka had already ordered two more as one was placed in front of her while the other in front of him.
"What?" She gave him a look of disbelief.
Haruka chuckled as he picked up his glass and took a sip. "What?" he mocked her, giving her a sly smile.
She glared at him. "You didn't say I had to drink more glasses."
He shrugged. "I never said the limit of how many taste tests you had to take either." he replied sweetly, his smile widening even more.
Kasumi had the urge to groan as she rolled her eyes. This man…something strange about make his different from others. She couldn't quite put her fingers on it, but there was that feeling that was telling her so otherwise.
"I…" Kasumi began, about to persuade Haruka to let her be, but he wouldn't hear any of it as he reached over and placed a finger to her lips. He silenced her and chuckled as he said, "No need for words, my sweet. I think I understand where you're trying to get at, but please understand this: You won't know what you're missing until you keep trying."
Her eyes widen as a gasp escaped her lips. Haruka leaned back, taking another sip as he looked seductive to a female's eye. Other girls around them sighed at him. Kasumi could tell because she glanced around to see all eyes on Haruka. Though, Kasumi noticed that he hadn't even glanced their way while he was drinking. He was looking at her the whole time.
Kasumi felt a small blush come across her cheeks and muttered a, "Fine, but you'll owe me big time if what I 'been missing out on' hasn't really made me missing out on it."
Haruka laughed said smoothly, "Of course…" He then took another sip, still keeping his gaze on Juri's twin.
Kasumi picked up her new glass, slowly placing the edge on her lips. She tilted the drink back, and the liquid inside slowly went down her throat. Her eyes widen by the taste. It…doesn't taste so…bitter anymore…she thought, taking more and more sips.
She soon felt relaxed, nonchalantly drinking her drink and asking for another once she was done. Haruka hadn't even finished his as he watched in amusement as his sister must now be getting intoxicated. How very…intriguing…he thought, smirking at how she could get drunk off of wine.
Maybe it's because this is her first time drinking…He watched her sway a hand for another once she drank her drink in one gulp. That or she's just…really something. He propped an elbow on the table, his eyes making contact with her.
Kasumi, not even knowing what she was doing, smiled a drunk smile-rather seductively if I might add. "Haruka~!" she slurred, "What are you doing…hiccup here."
Haruka smiled back. "Why, this is our date of course." This should be fun.
Kasumi raised a brow as she pointed at herself while swaying a little from being drunk. "Me?" she questioned herself, giving him a weird look.
He nodded at her. Kasumi squealed in delight, making Haruka jump in surprise by that reaction. "I never thought you would be interested in a girl like me~!"
He chuckled. "Well, I didn't think you'd come."
Kasumi waved a hand as she looked around in amazement. She gasped at how fancy the place looked. "Wow~! I didn't think you'd take me here! I thought Juri would be taken to a place like this with you~!" she slurred once more.
Kasumi sighed as she leaned towards Haruka's way. He leaned towards her to see what she had to say. "I thought someone as sexy as you would go with someone as beautiful as Juri." She then leaned back and laughed, picking up her drink a she swished it around.
Haruka's eyes flickered with confusion for a second before he thought about what she said and shook his head. Nah, I don't think this Kasumi is in her right mind. Better take her home once she's done having her last drink. he thought, laughing lightly. "You think I'm sexy?" he purred, going along with the drunken girl.
She nodded her head rather slowly. "Yup! You're way better looking than hiccup most men~!" She then took a sip of her drink. "Haruka, did anyone ever tell you that you should date Juri?"
His heart skipped a beat by those words. Haruka stared at her, not knowing what to say. The drunk Kasumi looked down into her glass, placing a finger in it as she swirled her wine around. "I think you and her would make a cute couple." She laughed. "But the funny thing is…" She placed her drink down. "I would have been…sad."
Haruka gulped slightly. "Why's that?" He was now worried for her.
"Because…" Kasumi looked up to meet Haruka's gaze. "I…like you, Haruka. I really, truly like you. You were the first to truly care about me besides Juri. Mom and Dad may have, but you're my brother who took a look to notice me." Kasumi smiled a genuine smile, even if she was drunk. "I'm…glad I met you."
Haruka's eyes widen as he smiled kindly at her. He didn't know if she was truly drunk or not, but her words really mean something to him. "Kasumi," he sighed happily. "I'm glad I met you as well."
He then stood, holding out his hand for her to take. Her drunk form took his hand as he helped her stand, and they both walked out of the restaurant, while paying, and went back through the portal door.
Haruka sighed, brushing his hair back as he let go of her hand. Dinners like that can tire a guy out, especially when your sister is drunk and she was trying to flirt with a few males while leaving. Still…
Haruka felt Kasumi grab his hand once more. He jerked his head towards her, raising a brow as he gave her a questioning look. Kasumi parted her lips to say something…but she did not have words come out. Instead, she reached up and wrapped her arms around his neck. Haruka's eyes widen. Kasumi pulled him towards her, placing her lips gently onto his.
Haruka gasped in surprise by this motion, but soon melted into it as he wrapped his arms slyly around her waist. It was like a dance. Kasumi was the leader, and Haruka was the follower. She led him up the stairs while still entangled in the kiss, and Haruka could not think anymore as she had entranced him in her little dance.
One thing lead to another before they were both in bed, in their undergarments. Nothing really happened because Kasumi just kept them lip-locked until both fell asleep.
Kasumi gasped and blushed madly once she remembered everything that had happened. She felt…she placed a hand onto her lips. Her first kiss. It was stolen all because she was drunk. She shook her head. She didn't want it to be like that. Kasumi imagined it to be more…romantic. Never did she think it could be a drunk way of getting it.
Haruka still smirked as her eyes were wide in remembrance. "So, now you remember?"
Kasumi turned to him, a glare now set on her face. "Why didn't you stop me?" she hissed, clenching her fist.
Haruka held his hand up in defense. "Hey, I wasn't the one who started it. If you hadn't gotten drunk, we wouldn't be here-" She cuts him off.
"If you hadn't gotten me to drink wine, then we wouldn't be here!"
Haruka shuts his mouth, giving Kasumi a sad look. He sighed, scratching his head sheepishly. "Then I guess we're both at fault."
Kasumi crossed her arms. "Hmph." She was angry. Angry at both herself and Haruka. If things hadn't gone the way they had, then…things wouldn't have turned out like it did.
Haruka slowly backed away from her, turning his back on the girl as he sat on the edge of the bed. He lowered his head sadly, a sad smile on his lips. "I'm…sorry that the kiss and things that led after that was not what you had wanted Kasumi. I'm sorry for getting you to drink. If I hadn't been…" He clenched his fist, sadly ."So persuasive, you wouldn't have been in bed with me."
Haruka chuckled lightly at himself as he stood, still having his back turned. "You know…that was my first kiss as well. I never got a chance to kiss Juri, so when you kissed me…I felt…" He paused, thinking on whether or not to tell her how he felt. "Nah, I don't think you care about what I have to say. You're mad, and I'm still being a jerk by being here. I'll leave now."
He reached down, picking up his pants and shirt before walking out to leave Kasumi gaping at him. Kasumi felt a pang of guilt as she watched him sadly leave. She bit her lip. Haruka wasn't the one who was being a jerk…she was. She now realized. All Haruka wanted was for her to enjoy his company…no matter how annoying he may be. He may have wanted her to feel-She shook her head.
I doubt Haruka would care if he knew how I felt…He still loves Juri, so I stole his first kiss that may have been meant for her… she thought, still holding a hand to her lips as she felt a tingling feeling. His lips on hers. Kasumi blushed, not wanting to think more.
"I'm…such a horrible person…" Kasumi mumbled, quickly getting off the bed as she went to get into new clothing. She was going to tell Haruka she was sorry…but only after she finds wherever he's at.
Cliffy…
Awe...Poor Haruka...I feel like I wanna hug him right now. He's just so...I just love him! That's all there is to it! Haruka is now officially my favorite Kuran. Especially when he's not a love-sick puppy and following Juri wherever she goes. Please Read and Review so you can tell me what you think so far! Thanks to those who added this to their favs, alerts, and reviewed! It was much appreciated. ^^ And...I think I made Kasumi a real jerk in the end of this chap...hmm...
