Chapter 10

Yuki opened her eyes and found herself in bed. She got up and turned to her right to see Soujiroh with his head on the side of the bed sleeping. She could not believe that he spent the whole night sitting on a chair. She brought her hand tot his face and jerked back, shocked by her sudden impulse to touch him. She shook her head feverently to get the thoughts of touching his face or worse kissing him. However, the temptation proved to be too much as she found herself kissing him on the cheek. The spark of electricity could be felt strongly as her lips touched his soft skin.

Soujiroh groaned and Yuki, in a state of panic, flung herself back which caused her to do a backward somersault onto the floor.

"Yuki, are you okay?!" Soujiroh peered over the bed and Yuki lay on the floor, red from embarassment.

"How much did you see?" She said worriedly. She hoped he had not seen her kiss him because that would be the last thing she needed right now.

"Just you tilting over." He laughed to which she grabbed a pillow and covered her face. "By the way, thanks for saying I made the cutlet." He smiled sincerely.

"Hai, hai. Good luck cooking by yourself next time; now that Emi realizes you "cook" well, she'll request more stuff." Yuki laughed.

"You," soujiroh gaped in shock, "That's why you said I cooked it."

"Yeah...I'm too lazy to cook for her." Her face had gone back to its normal shade of light pink. "Smile!" The camera flashed at Soujiroh, who had bed hair that was slightly messy, but no one could ever really notice it. Besides, disheveled hair seemed to make him look sexier despite how much Yuki wanted to deny it. She guessed that was the difference between poor people and rich people.

"Baka!" Soujiroh tried to grab the camera, but Yuki was too fast and she dodged his attack.

"See you at the breakfast table." Yuki stuck her tongue out and left. The door closed softly and Soujiroh was left sitting on the bed.

He scoffed and ran his fingers through his hair. He vowed silently to himself that he would get revenge no matter what. The male then began to get ready for the new day as he stretched and went into the restroom to freshen up. When he went into the restroom, he saw Yuki there also with a toothbrush in her mouth while she combed her hair.

"Nice." Soujiroh commented and Yuki wanted to respond, but with te toothbrush in her mouth, it was difficult. "Mind if I join you?" He asked as he grabbed his toothbrush from the cup.

"Go for it." She mumbled. Soujiroh began brushing his teeth and he looked in the mirror, however, instead of looking at himself like any normal person, he found himself looking at the other person in the mirror. Yuki was wearing her pajamas that accented her body as the tank top follwed every curve and the sweats hung on her hips. Soujiroh hated to admit it, but she looked fine.

"What are you staring at?" She asked once she had spit out the tooth paste and rinsed her mouth.

"Just myself."

"Narcissist." She teased and smiled, her pearly whites shone brightly.

"Then what do you look at?" He challenged as he spit out the toothpaste that left his breath slightly fresh as the minty taste lingered inside.

"I'm hungry." Yuki changed the subject before they could get further on the detail; she wouldn't let Soujiroh know that she was staring at him. That would be too awkward. She went outside to the table followed by Soujiroh. The aroma of japanese food made her mouth water and she was grateful when her mother handed her a plate.

Soujiroh thanked politley but could feel a slightly tense atmosphere since Emi was not really joking around nor was okaa-san smiling and teasing outo-san.

"Is there something wrong?" Soujiroh asked, trying to be polite about it.

"Here, see for yourself." Outo-san said.

Soujiroh and Yuki gaped at what they saw.

Reviews would be great. ^__^
