Jushiro ordered for Rangiku to be in charge of showing the ropes to Shunsui as he felt that Nanao was still new to the job although she had been working there for almost three months.
Shunsui was just the right person to help them pull in the crowds. He would help to attract more customers like what Rangiku did, except that she was to attract men and him to women, of course.
It was his specialty and Jushiro could be assured that investing in his friend's help was one of the smartest choices he had made so far.
Thank goodness he's not going to be in so often, otherwise he would just be an annoying pest. Nanao thought as she cleared the tables for the next customer to settle down. Not long the last customers where out of the shop and everyone began to clean up the place.
"Good work everyone! Especially you, Shunsui. I didn't think you would be able to handle those customers back there." Jushiro told him.
"It was nothing. You know how I'm good at those things right?" Shunsui said and laughed.
Those women were practically all over him. My god! Just what do they see in him? What does my sister see in him at all? This is just so bad. Nanao thought and frowned as she tried to work her way to understand how they managed to be together. She shook her head in dismay, she was totally clueless.
A week later Lisa was on the phone with Shunsui discussing on which movie to watch during the weekend as she was free. "So, I was thinking perhaps we could go and see a thriller or a horror show. Which do you want to see?"
"I'm fine with anything really. Perhaps we could watch a comedy or romance movie? I heard it's quite good." he said trying to steer her away from the subject.
"I don't want. I hate comedy and romance is so boring. But if there were any rated ones I wouldn't mind."
"Hmm… I wouldn't mind a thriller."
"Alright! Let's catch that this coming Saturday ok? We will meet at the Garden Plaza for lunch before watching the movie."
"Ok. Sure."
"See you then! Bye dear."
"Bye." The line went off and Shunsui stared at his phone blankly.
Shit, why didn't I say something else? I could have objected her idea. I don't want to watch it. Damn, we should have just gone shopping. I wouldn't mind that. He berated himself.
"Forget it. It's just a show. It's just fiction. Fiction." He said.
Saturday morning came and Lisa was preparing to leave the house for her movie date.
"Have a nice time sis! Enjoy your movie!" Nanao told her as she was making her way out of the house. Lisa smiled, "Thanks. I will." She said before shutting the door behind her.
A few hours later…
"How did you find the show? It was really exciting wasn't it?" Lisa asked. "Mm… yeah, it was cool." Shunsui answered.
In actual fact he was at the edge of his seat the whole time during the show. There was too many scenes with gore and he couldn't take he had to look away and pretend to check if he had dropped something on the floor or if his mobile phone was switched off.
On the whole, he hated violence and he wouldn't be able to take it if he saw any physical assault happening, despite being a good fighter himself. Instead he preferred peace and harmony as it suited him rather well, being a very romantic person as he is.
"I was hoping more action rather than just all that empty suspense." Lisa said as they walked out of the theatre.
"I'll send you back. Wait here for me while I go get my car." He told her and left her at the curb while he went to the parking lot to fetch his vehicle.
Nanao was returning home after doing some grocery shopping. As she was walking up the slope to their house she saw a car pass-by her and saw her sister in it.
"Oh my... isn't that Lisa? I can't go back now." she told herself and alarm bells were going off in her mind.
The sound of the car door opened and she heard Lisa saying goodbye before slamming the door close. Nanao heard the sound of the car reversing and the wheels screeching before the car came by her again.
She had hidden herself at the corner of the street and was leaning on the wall hoping that Shunsui had not seen her. She sighed in relief as the car turned away from her and sped across the empty street towards the town area.
Luckily they didn't see me; otherwise I would be in a dilemma. She thought as she made her way towards her house again.
"I'm back!" she announced as she unlocked the door and entered the house. "Oh, you're back? So fast?" she asked Lisa.
"Yeah, we had lunch and watched the movie. I said I wanted to make it back home for dinner and he didn't insist so he drove me home. Where did you go?"
"Oh, I see. I went shopping as we are out of vegetables and eggs."Nanao said as she went into the kitchen to put down the things.
"Ah, do you need any help? " "It's fine. I can do it. You should go and wash up, I'll call you once dinner is ready."
"Thanks. I am so grateful to have you as a sister." Lisa said before heading to her room.
Little did Nanao know that her troubles were only about to start. All because of him.
