Khomeini-chan,

The date with Soba was over pretty quickly. I don't understand why he continues to ask me out, only for him to flirt and speak with Mizuki. Really, anyone who wasn't me, he talked to. So, I left. And in doing so, I ran into Jomei and Kaemon. Odd pair. Never thought they'd hang out, but it doesn't surprise me. They've got the same type of personality. I'm currently thinking of giving up on men all together. I might just focus on girls.

-Ryuu

Ryuu's POV

Closing the book, I run my hands through my hair. Maybe I should just go out with a girl. Kotone's been seeing someone else lately, so she's not an option. I'm sure there's going to be some girl who's willing to be with me, and not just for the Uchiha name.

I groan, knowing that I'm probably lying to myself. I feel a hand on my head. "Hey, Ryuu-chan. What's wrong?" "Hey, Fudo. How'd you know where I was?" He pats my forehead, before taking a seat next to me.

"I'm your best friend. I always know where you are! Plus, I kind of saw you walk over here."

That makes me pout a bit, which he laughs at. "Back to my previous question. What's wrong?" I sigh deeply and set my head on his shoulder. "Today has been a total waste. I went on a date with Soba, but he was talking to and flirting with Mizuki, you know, the one from Ichiraku's. I decided to just leave, and I did, without any protest from my so-called "date". Then, I was so lost in thought that I wasn't aware of my surroundings, and I was trampled. Guess who it was?"

"My idiot brother?"

"Not only was it the idiot, but also the jackass!"

"You mean Kaemon was there too?!"

I nod, sadly. "You wouldn't believe how much it hurt when I saw them together. I wish I could just get over him already. He's obviously over me." I feel Fudo pull me closer to him and squish my cheeks with his hands.

"Who could ever get over such a cute face?" I snort and push him away, laughing. "You're such a dork! God!"

He joins my laughter, and we laugh for a good while, before I gain enough willpower and strength to stop and speak. "Thank you, Fudo. I needed that." He smiles teasingly and ruffles my hair. "What am I here for, if not to make you feel better? I'd be a pretty shitty best friend."

I return his teasing smile. "So, you're not?" Fudo scoffs, shoving me away while grinning, causing me to laugh. "Funny. I'll make you pay for that! Hurting my poor fragile feelings." We laugh and chase each other around the lake, much like when we were little. When we were innocent.

No chakra and no jutsu, just innocent fun. After a while, we finally stop running. I set my hands on my knees, trying to catch my breath. This was the most fun I've had, outside of training, in a while. As soon as I catch my breath, I tell Fudo exactly that.

He smiles and leans into me, nudging me with his shoulder. "I'm glad I was able to take your mind off of all those other jackasses." I smile and tackle him in a hug. We laugh even more. I can sense two chakra signatures getting closer. I stay on top of Fudo, as we turn our heads to see who was approaching us.

By the way Fudo was tensing, I could tell he was aware of who they were. Once the two people made their presence known, I finally managed to move to get off. I know I had a look of complete shock and embarrassment across my face.

It soon turned to anger and betrayal not long after. It was Jomei holding hands with Hanae.

My sister

I growl and march up to them. I poke a finger at Jomei's chest. "What the fuck do you think you're doing with my sister, you bastard?! You were just with Kaemon not long ago!! How dare you?! Who the fucking hell do you think you are?! What about your fucking girlfriend?! What about your baby?!"

I feel Hanae set her hand on my shoulder, I push it away and turn my glare to her. "And you! How could you do this to me?! You knew! You knew how I felt for this bastard! You don't care, though, do you?! Does the fact that we're related mean anything to you?!"

I can feel my sharingan activating. I shut my eyes and take a deep breath, suppressing my kekki genkai. Opening my eyes once more, I glare at the both of them. Without another word, I turn and leave them with Fudo.

No POV

Hanae sighs. "Well...that went well." Fudo growls lowly. "What the hell were you two trying to do? Piss him off? Make him relapse into depression?"

The Uchiha glares at Jomei with an underlining sadness. "Jomei had this idea that he dragged me into for some reason." Jomei rubs his face, irritated. "I was trying to make him jealous." Fudo sighs, annoyed.

"First off, don't ever do this shit again. Second, with his sister?! Are you fucking insane?! He's not going to get jealous! He's going to feel fucking betrayed! You, at least, should've known that, Hanae! Jomei, I swear if we weren't brothers, I'd kill you! Also, it doesn't matter even if he did get jealous! If you're still with that girl and that girl is still having a child, a child that is yours, he's not going to want to be with you anyways! Idiot!"

Jomei sighs. "I didn't really think about that. I thought he would feel jealous, then I'd sweep him off his feet and everything would be okay." Fudo pinches the bridge of his nose. "This isn't a fucking fairytale, Jomei! Shit like that only happens in stories!"

Jomei rubs the back of his neck, ashamed. "I suppose I should've picked someone other than his sister to do this with, I can see that now. But I'm trying! The time away from the little bugger has got my insides all kinds of fucked up. My chest hurts and I feel dizzy when he's not around. It's worse when he is around, but is ignoring my very existence."

Fudo growls under his breath. He hates to admit it, but his idiot brother is very clearly in love with his best friend. He doesn't want to hurt Ryuu by telling him this, but then if he found out for himself he'd hurt more. He growls louder and punches his brother. "Why'd you have to go and knock some chick up, you complete fucking moron?!"

Jomei growls back, as best he could while holding his jaw. "You didn't have to hit me, you asshole." Fudo hits him again, this time in the stomach. Jomei doubles over, wheezing. "You have no right to call me an asshole after the shit you just pulled."

He dusts himself off, glaring down at his brother. "Now, I'm going to go talk to Ryuu and try to get him to calm down." Hanae moves to follow, but is interrupted by Fudo's glare.

"Do you really feel it the best idea to come with me? I'm trying to calm him down, you coming with would only blow him up further."

Hanae frowns, knowing the older was right, but not liking it. "Fine. Please let him know, if you get the chance, that I'm sorry. And that there's nothing going on between me and Jomei." Fudo nods curtly, continuing in the direction his friend left in.
