Ryuko couldn't hardly believe her eyes as she rushed down the stairs, jumping over the railing as she neared the bottom and landing on her feet at the bottom.

"Senketsu? Is that really you?" she dared say aloud, however to her delight and surprise she suddenly felt the familiar feel of fabric wrap around her.

"Ryuko! Satsuki told me how you have been doing….I'm so sorry that I…" she heard him began, however he was cut off as she squeezed him a bit tighter in the embrace and growled out

"Shut up. That doesn't matter….I've got you back…that's all I care about!" she muttered, not even trying to hold her own tears back as she nuzzled against the soft fabric.

Senketsu….So you're why Satsuki has been disappearing for hours. She even used her own blood to activate you…even after how I treated her that first week.

She thought, suddenly sobbing as everything overwhelmed her. Physical pain she could handle, but this….the relief, regret and hurt all seemed to consume her in one second and just erupted into the raw emotions that poured out of her.

"Ryuko? What's wrong?" Senketsu asked, earning a sigh from her as she pulled away and sighed "Nothing….it's just….these last few months have been torture and all of this feels like a dream…..Fuck….I must look like an idiot huh Senketsu?" she stated, earning what sounded like a chuckle from the living piece of clothing.

"Not at all…had at least you are not stumbling around drunk like your sister mentioned." Senketsu retorted, earning a blush.

"I'm going to kill her….That was one time. Just how much did she tell you?" Ryuko asked, burying her face against him again.

"Enough." He replied simply, wrapping his sleeves around her as he added "please stop being sad on my account."

A comfortable silence passed over them.

If this is a dream I hope that I never wake up.

She thought just as the sound of a thud from upstairs caused them both to jolt out of their thoughts.

"You might want to go check on Satsuki." Senketsu suggested, earning a nod from Ryuko.

Keeping her hold on the Kamui she headed back toward her sister's room, only to hear muffled cursing.

"What happened?" she asked, earning a glare from Satsuki who held up the charger cord that had been stretched across the bedroom.

"Your charger happened." She grumbled, standing up and moving over to the younger girl who flinched back a bit, not being in the mood to fight with her sister.

"I'm sorry…Please don't hit me." She stated, shielding herself with Senketsu who rolled his eye at their antics.

"Put your shit out of people's walk way next time." Satsuki growled, trying to not smirk at her sister's tone.

Such a child….then again younger siblings are supposed to drive you crazy.

She thought as she gave her sister a light cuff to the back of the head, earning a small squeak out of the younger girl though Satsuki only rolled her eyes.

"If I didn't hit you for the hot sauce trick I surely wouldn't do so now." She replied, suddenly ruffling Ryuko's hair before adding "keep your shit in your room…..Before someone trips over something and manages to hurt themselves."

Ryuko glanced up then, noticing the look of amusement in Satsuki's eyes and suddenly blushing.

I must look like a fucking child.

"May I ask what she's talking about?" Senketsu broke the silence though it just caused Ryuko to blush even more.

"She got the big idea to spike my food with hot sauce because she got pissed at me for one thing or another." Satsuki replied, glaring lightly at Ryuko who bit out

"Well you got me back for that! You fucking cut the hot water off and I almost froze to death in the bath!"

Senketsu laughed at that, earning a glare from Ryuko.

"Zip it you."

"I'm sure that's an overstatement." Senketsu retorted

Satsuki just smirked "she felt well enough to storm into my room in just a bath towel and curse at me for a good fifteen minutes."

Ryuko glared but didn't say anything, feeling her face turn even redder at this.

"Both of you shut up! Remember that you can't even step over a phone charger!" she growled, trying to sound threatening but failing to do so.

Satsuki smirked and grabbed a pillow from the bed, lightly throwing it at her younger sister.

"Let me get out of the way before you two start a war!" Senketsu stated, slipping from Ryuko's grip all while just dodging being hit.

"Senketsu you Traitor! Ow! I'm going to get you for that Satsuki!" Ryuko growled, earning a smirk from her sister.

"You are in no imminent danger. I doubt my assistance is needed." The Kamui retorted.
