My Sweet Unknown

Chapter seven

I was so focus on my headset I didn't sense anyone come up behind me. "It's pass someone's bed time, don't you think." Warm moist breath touch my left ear as slender arms wrapped around my neck. "Ryou?" The way my name rolled off her tongue.. I wanted- no need to hear it once more. She spoke my name once more when I didn't answer her right away. "Ryou?"

"I think your right." I short mail them both telling them they only have five minutes left or I'm logging them out myself. I heard them both say good-night to Atoil. Bo told her night for the rest of us.

Kaoru stayed logged in for a moment as he talk with the old man about making sure I'm taken care of. As if I need that. He's the one who going to drink himself to death .

"So Ryou, where are we going to sleep at? First of all I don't sleep on the floor." Sakura noted her protest as they got ready for bed.

"Saku, have you seen Mr. Grunty? I thought I packed him but I can't seem to find him."

"Maybe he fell out in Ryou's car on the way over." I swear she love getting him to cry or getting him on the brink of tears.

"But it's dark out there. And he's afraid of the dark!" he whined Kaoru and my name. "You have to save him!"He just shoved us out with my keys. "Save him! Save Mr. Grunty!"

We were barely dress climbing around in the backseat of my car after ten at night.. "Any luck?" I ask Kaoru who was leaning over the front seat.

"No. Are you sure he even had it with him?" he softly asked as I tried to remember if I saw the thing.

"I'm not sure. I don't think he even had it in the car." I sighed out laying down for a bit to think.

"I guess we have to break the news to him." Kaoru rested his chin on my head rest starring at me. "With you by his side..he'll be alright."

"Endrance daily advice." I picked as he just smiled at me. "You seem to need it."

I had to laugh at that. "You don't know how true that is anymore." The both of us had to laugh at this point for a bit before we return. To find Sakura and Chika in a all out war.

"Don't hide things from your baby brother. It's not nice you little brat!"

"Stay back or Death Grunty will get it." She had a peeling knife to the stuffed animal throat.

"Sakura don't! Please!" Iori begged. "Big brother help him!"

I always thought Sakura had a psychopath tendencies in her but this is far beyond anything I could

even think of.. As she behead the Grunty before Kaoru could pick her up.

"No! I hate you!" Cue the water works and door slamming. "I want to go home."

"We got her, Ryou. You take care of him." Chika said turning her attention back toward Sakura.

"Master Kaoru you have to protect me." Sakura squeak out.

"That was uncalled for, Sakura." They sat her down on a chair. "Now you listen little snot, I'm not above tying brat to chair for a time-out." Chika threaten as Sakura finally broke down once she caught site of the rope.

"I'm not even going to asked why she has something like that with her." I thought as I made my way to the only closed door... which was my room. "Hey Iori, can I come in?" I took his sniffling as a yes.

There was a lump under my blanket that moves. " At least he's not hiding under my bed." I thought sitting on the floor. "Wanna talk about it?"

"*sniff* No."

"I have an idea.. Why don't you and me go to the toy store tomorrow and I get you a new Grunty?" He slowly peek out of the blanket at me. "Really?"

"Yeah really." He move off my bed and sat beside me. "You can pick out which ever one you want. But first you have to tell Sakura you don't hate her. Okay?"

Kaoru walked in at that. "I thought you could sleep with her tonight." He carried a white and purple stuffed cat over to him. "She belong to Chika." He looked up at me then slowly took the cat. "I really like your girlfriend, Ryou."

"She's just a friend." I really need a shirt with that saying on it. "But she really nice and she always keeping you in line." His innocent eyes looked up at me again. "You can always date Kaoru then." The happiness beaming from Kaoru right now could filled up all seven seas.

"We can't date, Iori." Kaoru words snapped my attention toward him. "Married people don't date each other." I slap my forehead at that.

"Oh yeah I forget about that." Iori said as there was a knock on my door.

"I'm here to say something to, Iori." Sakura announce as he move to let his sister in. "I'm sorry Mr. Grunty bit the dust." I shook my head at her attempt.

"It's okay, big brother, Ryou, going to buy me another one tomorrow." She glare at me as she gave her brother a hug. "Night Sakura."

"Night Iori." She kept glaring at me. "Chika made up sleeping arrangement girl in the living room, boys in your room and Master Kaoru with me!"

I moved to go talk to Chika. "Yeah right, keep dreaming little girl." Speaking of the devil there she was in front of me. "Is that alright?"

"No. You two can stay in my room we'll sleep in the living room." Maybe I'm being overprotect of here but the thought of them sleeping where the front door is make me feel uneasy for some reason. "Just don't go through my stuff." I eyed up Sakura as she moved closer to my dresser. "Aww fine! Big meanie!"
