The four of them, Risa, Gramps, Taro, and Tatsuha all sat down to eat dinner together. Tatsuha was suprised to find that Taro's grandpa was actually quite good at cooking. In fact, Tatsuha admitted, it was more than good- perhaps at a proffesional level. "This is great, umm... I never actually got your name- Taro always calls you gramps."

"Haha. Thank you. You can just call me gramps too if you want."

"That's kind of weird but whatever."

"His name is Hideyoshi," Risa commented with a pleasant smile.

"Really? Does he work as a chef or something?"

"Haha. Nah, I'm retired. If I was working I coud afford a better house. I used to work as a... chef of sorts."

"How about you? I'm curious about what you do for a living," Risa casually changed the flow of the conversation. It was craftily done, Tatsuha thought briefly.

"I'm a priest at my fathers temple."

"That's suprising," Risa did seem genuinely suprised by this information,"I thought you'd

be more like your brother. I heard that he was pretty loose."

Tatsuha laughed uncomfortably and changed the subject,"Yeah, so, anyway, what exactly do you do, Miss Risa?"

"Me? I don't have a job yet. I'm currently attending college."

"She doesn't really need one," Gramps chimed in,"She's set as far as money goes."

"True but I don't want to spend my life doing absolutely nothing,"Risa said frowning,"I'm sure Taro doesn't want a rich snob who thinks she's too good to do actual work."

Taro had been listening quietly up until this point. The way Risa stared at him made it clear that she was looking for a response from him. Taro wasn't sure how to answer this- it wasn't exactly a question. He settled for a weak,"I think it's great that you're planning on doing stuff."

Risa smiled but Tatsuha and Gramps had to cough to cover up their laughing. Taro had to admit, it wasn't the smoothest answer in the world.

The four of them had a good time and it was almost midnight when Tatsuha realized the time. "Geez, I stayed a lot longer than I tought," Tatsuha said as he got up from his seat,"I should really get going."

"Me too," Risa said imitating his reaction, "I'd better call my driver. He's probably home asleep though. I told him not to wait up. I guess it can't be helped."

"I can take you home," Tatsuha said without much thought,"You don't live that far away do you?"

"No," Risa blushed slightly in embarassment.

"Well, Taro, Gramps, it's been fun,"Tatsuha said with a respectful bow.

"Same here," Grandpa smiled.

"Thanks for coming with me," Taro said.

"No prob. See ya tomorrow then," Tatsuha waved as he headed out the door. Risa

quickly said her own goodbyes and joined him outside. She was suprised to see that his vehicle was a motorcycle.

"You didn't tell me you had a motorcycle," Risa muttered uncomfortably.

"Just put a helmet on and hold on tight. I promise I'll be careful,"Tatsuha said, putting on

his own helmet.

"A-alright,"Risa seemed unsure but put on the helmet, got on the motorcycle, and held on to Tatsuha for dear life. Tatsuha could tell she was scared so he started off slow. It wasn't a big deal. Hardly anyone else was on the road at that hour anyway. Risa gave directions as they went and it wasn't long before they pulled up to a rediculously huge house.

"Wow," Tatsuha commented, taken aback by the building's sheer size.

"Yeah, I know. It's huge. Anyways, I want to say thank you for taking me home."

"It wasn't too far out of the way. Don't worry about it."

"I," Risa looked embarassed,"I'm sorry I glared at you earlier."

"So that wasn't my imagination!"

"Umm... no. I thought you'd be like your brother."

"What do you have against my brother? It's not just you either. Gramps- I mean Hideyoshi- seemed to like me alright but he hated my brother."

"We're just looking out for Taro," Risa sighed and looked away.

"Did Taro know Yuki?"

Risa froze up for a moment. Then she stuttered,"I-It's very late. I should-"

"He did then."

"Please don't ask anymore questions," Risa said frowning,"Just know that we do it for a reason." She sighed again and said, "Good night" before she turned and walked the rest of the way up to her house.

Tatsuha stared after her. It really wasn't his business but he couldn't help but want to know more.
