Chapter 9: Overprotection

Meru's POV

After 5 hours of pointless training, I was so tired I ended up stuck in my room ALL day. And I can't believe I allowed my sister to dress me like a doll. When I thought the worst was over, I was wrong.

"Meru?" I heard someone call outside of my room.

"Ugh… Can this day… get ANY worse?" I said getting up from the bed.

I open the door and started to yell, "What do you-," It was Fayt. "Uhh… Hi… Fayt." I said very slowly.

"Hi Meru. About what happen this morning…" He trailed off blushing.

"Don't worry about it Fayt, it just… happened I guess…" I said looking away trying to hide my blush.

"Oh right. Your sister was calling you."

"Grreat… Can my life get any worse from this?" I said. "Well better get to her before something else happen."

"Yeah…" With that Fayt and I walked out of the room. But we couldn't help feeling that A LOT of people having mischievous eyes towards us. Before heading toward the Furude house we quickly turned around and see everyone either watching TV or whistling. We both knew where this was going so we just let it slide.

After we went into the house Miyako and Kureno were standing right in front of us, having a creepy smile on their face.

"Meru…" Miyako said to me.

"Fayt." Kureno said to Fayt.

"What?" We both asked, worriedly.

"Well, since tomorrow is your date." Miyako started.

"And your first I'm assuming." Kureno continued.

"We decided to-

"To help you plan out for your date tomorrow."

Fayt and I couldn't help but just stand there blank. After a minute we finally got back to our senses. "Okay, first of all, we REALLY appreciate what you're trying to do for us but—

"I think this is something that Meru and I should figure out for us." Fayt finished for me.

"What he said." I pointed to him.

My sister and Kureno just look stunned at what we both said. I was getting worried but suddenly Miyako burst out, "Oh Meru, you're becoming a woman by the minute! I can't stand to see you not becoming my little baby sister anymore."

"I know! I know! Meru is growing up to become a strong woman!" Kureno cried holding Miyako in his arms. Fayt and I were terribly confused about their sudden outburst so we decided to sneak away while they were crying.

"Hold it right there you two." Miyako said sternly. We both just froze and turn our heads slowly to them. What we saw, was not pretty. They had evil grins on their faces and our faces turned white as a ghost when we saw those malicious grins.

"Just where do you think you're going?" Kureno asked.

"Ummm… Out… side…" I said nervously.

"Oh you're not going anywhere just yet. Meru you're coming with me." Miyako pulled my arm so hard that I didn't think she had this kind of strength.

"Ouch! Miyako that hurts! Ah! Let me go! Fayt, help! Help!" I screamed but it was too late, she already dragged me up stairs.

"Meru!" I heard Fayt yell.

"Ah! Just where do you think you're going?" Kureno said to Fayt, assumingly, blocking his way.

Miyako dragged me upstairs till we were in her room. I saw Yuri peeked out of her room, looking to see what's going on, but went back inside once she saw what was going on. Once we were in my sister's room, she pushed me onto her flowered-blanket bed. Still recovering from the hard grip she had on me, I manage to at least sit up straight. "What is going- Huh?" I saw her put her ear against her dark-brown closed door. I stood up from the bed and quietly walked towards her. Without her noticing, I yanked her ear, so she is facing me.

"Owowowowow! Let go! Let go!" She yelped in pain.

"Not until you explain what the heck is going on?"

"I can't unless you let go of my ear thank you!" I let go of her, already red ear. "Thank you."

"Now tell me what is going on before I get VERY angry." I threatened.

"Oh I'm SO scared." I made an irritated scowl at her.

"Ok ok ok. No need to bite my head off."

"Then SPEAK!"

"Well as your older sister I am deeply worried about you."

I scoffed. "Worried about ME? Of what?"

"About your relationship with Fayt of course!"

"Oh god here we go."

"I just don't want your heart to be broken, and I want your date tomorrow to be PERFECT!"

After hearing my sister explanation, I wasn't exactly surprised. This wasn't exactly the first that she didn't want my heart to be "broken". After being set up for blind dates, all planned by my sister, she always wanted to make it "perfect". Of course in the end I ended up breaking THEIR hearts. I sighed and for the dark brown colored door.

Miyako grabbed my arm and asked, "Meru where are you going?"

"Getting Fayt out of here and get ready for my date tomorrow." I replied with a slight death glare at her. I got released from the grip of my sister and head for the door. Just before I was going to head out I said, without turning around, "Miyako, I promise you everything is going to be okay. Don't be so overprotective, I'm 17 years old now. There are times where you need to let go." With that I left the room, leaving a stunned sister to the bare ground.

As I got out of the room, I closed the door behind and leaned on it, sighing exasperated. "I guess it is nice to have a sister worrying about you."

"Out of my way!" I heard someone yelled. Fayt? I straighten up and slowly walk to the white carpet staircase and looked down.

"Look, I can't have you interrupting the sisters' conversation." I heard Kureno say following him up the stairs. "And plus it is my duty to make sure Meru will be safe and happy."

"Look I don't care if you guys are Meru's relatives or whatever but she's my girlfriend and I'm not about to let her die of your overprotectiveness!" When I heard Fayt shouted my heart suddenly quicken its heartbeat. My face was as red as a rose. When Fayt turn his head up to the stairs up ahead he suddenly saw me. "Meru?" was all he could say.

"Meru! Where's Miy- "In her room." I said. Kureno then head upstairs to my sister's room while I walked downstairs towards the stunned Fayt. As I was walking down, my facing felt burning hot and I couldn't stop replaying the words that came from Fayt's mouth.

"Meru did you well…" Fayt's face was so red he couldn't bring himself to face me. "Meru did you hear what I said?"

"I-I, well..." What am I supposed to say? Yes Fayt, that was very nice of you. Of course I would be speechless; he said that out of the blue. All I could do was nod my head.

"Meru, I meant what I said you know."

"Fayt, you can be such an idiot sometimes." I said angrily.

"What?"

"Sometimes you just butt in a matter that don't concern you but then again that's what I do but there's a reason for that. You just do what you want to do."

"Meru, I-

But that what's make's you, you. And mostly why I like you a lot."

"Meru… Man you're calling me an idiot what about you? You're worse than me." He said playfully.

"Am not!" I yelled at him smiling.

"You want to know why I love you and care for you?" He asked.

"Why is that?"

"Because you're the kind of girl who would do anything despite what others say. You take risk, knowing that something bad or devastating would happen." I was caught off guard by this that I didn't notice that he lifted my head to make eye contact with his.

"Fayt… I-" He put a finger at my lips silencing me.

"I'm not finish. And also because you're probably the first girl I had ever in love with to know what it truly means to be in love. I love you Meru."

Tears started to form in my eyes, and before I knew it, I was crying. "Fayt, I-I love you too. With all my heart." Fayt wiped away my tears and pulled my face to his. Slowly, our lips were locked together forming a passionate kiss.

Meru: and done. And this took DAYS to finish this?

Miyako: becuz you ended up being lazy and not do the darn chapter.

Kureno: and becuz you ran out of ideas to do this.

Meru: rrright…. Anyways hope you enjoy this chappy and it was fairly short if you ask me.

Miyako: that's becuz you improvised on this.

Meru: shut up and anyways, again, hope you enjoy this.

All: BYE!
