Day 10: prepared

Okay… let's do this.

Rio smiled as she heard a clatter from downstairs. She narrowed her eyes as she ran down the stairs and saw Ryoga picking up a lamp that had fallen, "Ryoga! What did you do?!" Rio exclaimed as she ran over to her brother.

"Nothing… well…"

"Nothing?! You baka, I could hear that from upstairs! What in the world is wrong?"

"Nothing! It's just that…" Ryoga face palmed and sank into a couch, "Never mind…"

Rio rolled her eyes, "I'm going out to see Kaito-kun."

Ryoga's ears perked as he quickly rose up, "Nani?! Wait… you aren't together are you?!"

"Oh Ryoga, you have to be prepared for this kind of stuff." Rio said simply as she walked out of the door and closed it behind her.

"Just great!" Ryoga muttered, "First this!" He exclaimed as he held up a letter, "And then Rio and Kaito are together! Why the hell am I still here?! Oh yeah… stupid!" He exclaimed as he slapped his forehead. What in the world was he going to do...

Rio took out her duel gazer and began to dial Kaito's number, "Hey Kaito"

"Yeah?"

"Can you meet me at the café?" She asked.

"Sure, I can. See you in about… 15 minutes?"

"Deal." Rio said with a smile as she quickly continued walking to the café.

Kaito glanced around as he saw Rio coming towards the table. He waved her over and she quickly took notice and walked towards him, "Hey Kaito"

"Hey Rio, what did-"

"Excuse me young couple, but may I ask you what would you two would like to drink?" a waiter asked as he took out a notepad and a pen.

"Uh, I'd like a Cappuccino please." Rio said, "Kaito?"

"I… I'll take the same." Kaito said.

The waiter nodded and left.

"Go on." Rio said as she focused her attention back to Kaito.

"So as I was saying, what did you want to talk to me about?"

"Well first I'd like to thank you so much for the necklace and I was wondering if you knew what was wrong with Ryoga."

"You're welcome, as for your brother, he's been having issues with us… you know."

"Dating behind his back?" Rio asked.

Kaito nodded, "If he just figured out we were dating for like three-"

"But I never told him we were, you know and I don't think that's the issue." Rio said as she scratched her head.

"Well then it may have to do with the twins' birthday coming up soon." Kaito said.

"Oh yeah! Oh! I think Ryoga might I have gotten some birthday invitation and-"

"He doesn't have a gift for Kara." Kaito finished.

Rio nodded, "Exactly. Hm, what kind of boyfriend is he?"

"Your Cappuccinos are ready." A waiter said as he placed both of them down and left.

"A pretty good one, considering that Kara still likes him." Kaito said as he took a sip from the Cappuccino.

"Yeah, he's a good brother, well kinda, but yeah… wonder what we should get them." Rio said as she took a sip of the drink.

Kaito glanced down at his watch, "It's getting late, why don't I walk you home?"

Rio smiled, "I'd like that. But let's finish our drinks first eh?"

Kaito nodded as they continued to drink their drinks.

"Thanks for walking me home Kaito-kun." Rio said with a smile.

Kaito nodded, "You know, Ryoga should be more prepared for these kinds of situations."

Rio giggled, "Maybe… kiss?" she asked as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Kaito softly smiled as he pressed his lips to hers. They broke away slowly as Rio smiled at him, "I'll see you later Kaito-kun!"

"Bye…" Kaito said as he walked away.

Rio smiled as she walked into the house and sighed. Now, where was Ryoga?

XXXX

All done! Like I said, they're drabbles. Anyways… review please!
