Hey, people! Looks like luck is still on my side! I got this chapter while drawing on one of my notebooks, and I'll admit, it's not much, but it's something. Just for emphasis, for those that think I'm not serious about writing, like my science teacher, I am serious about it, and am not in any way desperate for reviews. I do appreciate them, but even if I didn't get any, I'd still write.

Yuzu scrubbed furiously at the frying pan; Stefan's little 'Pep Talk' did nothing for her. Sure he wouldn't lie, but what's the point of it if it's coming from someone whose gay. Her own damn boyfriend rarely ever compliments her, if at all.

She slammed the frying pan into the sink, water splashing all over the place. Why was it, that even though she was only four goddamned minutes younger than Karin, Karin had everything, and she was still the shadow?

It ticked her off to no end.

"I'm sick of it!" Yuzu grabbed her keys, not even bothering to get a jacket on, and ran from the house.

Karin jolted up from the couch as she heard the crash. Maybe Yuzu just dropped something...

Karin's theory was proven wrong when she heard her sister scream, and then slam the back door. What the hell is with her?

She'd been a little off lately, as if she was mad about something. She couldn't be mad; Yuzu was never mad about anything.

You could spread her biggest secret around the world, and she'd never get mad. Except for that one time with Ami and her rumors. Ami died in a car accident about a year ago.

Karin got up from her spot on the leather couch, and went into the kitchen. She finished the last of the dishes in five minutes, and then made herself a smoothie. She couldn't cook to save her life, but she could make a helluva smoothie.

She looked down at the buttons on the blender, and noticed that her buldge was getting bigger. That child was growing like a weed, and it wasn't even born!

She pressed a few buttons, and looked up at the ceiling. Her morning sickness wasn't a bad as it used to be, but she figured that was because she was almost through with her first trimester. It was the beginning of March. She'd missed out on so much lately, but that was mostly because Chad was in Mexico, and they usually did stuff like the Valentines Festival at the highschool, together.

He'd originally planned to come home for spring break, but they both decided that it could wait another month for him to come back home, and he could do his first semester's schoolwork over the internet. He'd go back for the second semester forhis second year, and take Karin and the baby with him. Karin would go to a highschool in Segundo, the small town that Chad lives in, and Chad would be taking nightclasses, and a few over the internet. They had that first year planned out already...

Karin was supposed to go into senior year in May. This was her last year of highschool, and she'd finish it in Mexico.

Karin looked at the blender, and realized that her original task had been done a long time ago.

Yuzu waved her hand at the bartender, signaling for another screaming orgasm. She'd downed three so far, and was more drunk than she is bad at math.

"Sorry, miss. You've had enough," the bartender remarked.

"The heeeelllll I haaaave!" Yuzu slurred, flailing her arms around. The bartender signaled for back-up, ad Eichii walked up from the DJ booth. He doubled as a bouncer, and considering the other bouncers were handling a brawl outside, he had no choice. "Oh myyyyyy! You're a cuuuuutie!" Yuzu commented as Eichii lifted her off the barstool.

"Let's get you home." Eichii helped her outside to the payphone, and called her a cab.

"You're...you're...you're so much nicer than my booooyyyyfriiiieeeennd." Yuzu clutched her head as she hiccuped. "He never pays me no never-mind. All it issss to himmm, is making out, and grooohhhhhping. He's such an asssssss!" Yuzu screamed into the evening air. "I'm the blaaack shmeep of mfy famfily; Kaaaareeeen's the good winnn, the oooohldest wine! It fucking sucks!" Yuzu chuckled a little, and leaned on Eichii.

He was used to this, considering he'd had to deal with people more drunk than she was, but he felt a bit of a spark for her.

When the taxi arrived, Yuzu refused to get in. She'd driven her father's car there, and didn't awnt to get caught drunk. As if he wouldn't notice when she walked in... He was usually a fun-loving guy, but when something like this happened, even though his daughters are legal to drink, he didn't like itone bit when either of them were drunk. They found that out the day after they turned sixteen.

Eichii finally had to drive her back to her house, taking slurred directions and a bunch of complaints about family from the drunken girl. He was going to get hell for this when he got back to the bar. He was twenty-one, and if he and the Kurosaki girl were to have a relationship, it would be illegal.

Karin opened the door, and it seemed as if she'd been hit by an eighteen-wheeler. There was Yuzu, drunk as a sailor, dry'heaving over the railing on the doorstep, and some guy holding her now shoulder-length hair back.

"Yuzu, what the hell is going on?" Karin closed the front door, and walked out, a hand on her growing stomach. "What the hell happened?"

"Azzz if youuuu don't knooohw!" Yuzu looked up, and realized that she wasn't going to puke her dinner up.

"Apparently, something's bothering her. I think it's something to do with you..." Eichii handed Karin the keys to the Ford Focus. "I called her a cab, but she refused to get in, so I drove her home in your car. I'm going to walk back." Eichii helped Yuzu into the house when Karin opened the door.

Karin and Eichii half-carried Yuzu upstairs to her room, and got her to bed with wastebasket beside her for when she woke up with hangover.

"You're not taking a taxi back to that bar. Hey, don't I...you're the guy who handed me the check!" Karin walked out of the bedroom. "Ichigo, I'm going out; check up on Yuzu later, would ya?" She didn't wait for a response as she dragged Eichii down the stairs. "I'll drive you back."

"No, you really-" He didn't get to finish as Karin cut him off.

"I'm driving you back against your will. I wanna know why my sister's so upset. Why'd she go out and get drunk?" Karin started up the Focus.

"Well, this is what she told me..."

"So she's upset with me." Karin pulled over, and rested her head against the steering wheele. "I'm sorry you were dragged into this."

"No problem. I actually kind of like the girl, to be honest. She's got something in her that I think is really cool. It's kind of weird, really." Eichii smiled at the thought of the strawberry blonde girl.

"Back off; she's got a boyfriend." Karin raised her head.

"I know. She told me he treats her bad."

"He doesn't beat her, and from what I've seen, they're pretty close." Karin had never really liked Jinta, and neither had anyone else but Yuzu. He just seemed kind of off, but it wasn't their place to go butting in.

"Well, she told me he doesn't beat her, but he just looks at the relationship as making out." Eichii leaned back in the seat, and watched as cars passed them on the road. "If she was my girl, I'd treat her right, let her have some say in the relationship, not just 'lights on or off'. She'd really nice, at least, what I've seen, but I'm sure she's even better when she's not had any screaming orgies." Eichii chuckled a little.

"You've known my sister about an hour, and already you're attracted to her. How odd..."

"See, that's what she was talking about. You think she can't do anything but be a housewife!" Eichii half-glared at her.

"I never meant to be that way; I love her cooking, but that doesn't mean that's all she's good for. Yuzu's a great person to go to for advice, and she's really pretty, she's got a whole life ahead of her, and isn't carrying the child of someone halfway across the flipping world!" Karin began to cry. "Stupid hormones!"

"Well, you need to set that straight with her." Eichii sat up in the seat.

"I guess I better get you back to the bar..." Karin drove off to the other side of town.

Yay! Another long update!
