Pov: Evolette
I open my eyes to see the sun rising through my bedroom window. I came home from the hospital yesterday. Well, I went to sleep at the hospital and woke up in Natsume's arms, in the elevator, and he refused to let me walk the rest of the way to the couch. No one would let me do anything yesterday, granted I felt weak and tired, but I don't like it when I can't do things myself. I check my phone to see a lot of missed calls. I call the first one back because it is manager I hired.
"Evie where were you last night, things were hectic." The manager says and goes on and on about how worried he is. "There was blood outside the doors when we got here. Then you didn't show up. We had to rearrange the lineup."
"Kaiji, calm down, I am fine now. Don't worry about me. I will need you to run the place for a few weeks. Keep the lineup the way you changed until I get back." I tell him trying to calm him down.
"How long are we talking here?" he asks voice serious.
"I am not sure but I won't be able to dance for a while. As soon as Masaomi gives me the okay I can come back and help you out, but until then hold down the fort for me." I say.
"What happened?" Kaiji asks calmly. I remain quiet debating whether I should tell him or not. "Evie Love, tell me what happened?" his voice is a bit more serious.
"Nothing, I can't handle. I just have a few broken and bruised ribs, and a small cut on my neck." I tell him. "Just keep me informed on what is going on there, okay?"
"Okay, I will do my best, get better soon, so you can get your sexy little ass back on that stage." Kaiji says laughing trying to be upbeat about things.
"All righ,t call me if you need anything." I tell him.
"By Love." He says and hangs the phone up.
"Breakfast time." I say and head out of my room, wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I walk into the kitchen to see Ukyo finishing up breakfast.
"Morning." I say grabbing a few things he has prepared and some milk out of the refrigerator.
"Good morning. Did you sleep well?" Ukyo asks without looking up.
"Yeah, so you and Masaomi will both be home today?" I ask noticing that he is wearing casual clothes and not his usual suit.
"Yeah, I don't have court for a while so I am able to work at home for a couple days." Ukyo says turning to set a few more plates on the counter. I finish my breakfast and clean my dishes.
"Do you need any help?" I ask him.
"No, I am almost finished. Besides you are supposed to be taking it easy." He says turning to look at me. His eyes look at me and then immediately move to a spot above my head, a blank look on his face.
"You know I won't be able to sit around here all day and do nothing." I tell him raising my eyebrow at him.
"Why don't you go ahead and get changed." He says turning back to the stove. I giggle at him, seeing the back of his neck is bright red, and lean against the counter looking out over the table.
Ema and Yusuke come down the stairs and sit at the table. "Good morning." I say and smile at them.
"Morning, Evie." Ema says before eating. "You're happy this morning."
"Yeah." Yusuke says and digs into his breakfast. I just shrug my shoulders.
"Ahh, there are my two Imouto-chans." I hear Tsubaki say and look to the living room. He walks into the dining room followed by Asuza.
"Morning, Tsubaki, Morning Asuza." I say and wave to them.
"Good morning." Ema says looking at the two and smiling.
"So are you two ready for the show today?" Tsubaki asks Ema and Yusuke. They both nod their heads.
"What show?" I ask curious.
"We are doing a promo for a game we voice." Asuza says grabbing a plate from in front of me.
"Sounds fun. Which game is it?" I ask him.
"Panzer of the Dead." Tsubaki says in between bites.
"Wish I could go as well, but I don't think the wardens will allow that." I say winking at them. Ema, Tsubaki , Asuza and Yusuke laugh at it.
"You are supposed to be resting." Ukyo says glaring at me, but his glare doesn't last for long because he notices that I still haven't changed. He quickly turns back around.
"What is wrong with Ukyo?' Ema asks worried about him. "Is he feeling okay?"
"Yeah Em, he is feeling okay, don't worry about him." I say giggling.
"Then why is he acting strange?" Ema asks
"Oh no reason." I say still giggling. Ukyo's phone goes off and it is sitting right in front of me. I turn around and see him searching his pockets for it. "Looking for this?" I say holding it up. He grabs it from my hands quickly without looking at me, and turns away from us. I walk out of the kitchen having tortured him enough. Yusuke, spits food across the table at Tsubaki.
"What the hell was that for?" Tsubaki yells standing up. Yusuke looks down and his face is as red as his hair. "Eat your food don't spit it."
"Are you okay?" Ema asks Yusuke.
"Don't worry about me and just finish eating. Put some clothes on." Yusuke shouts and quickly finishes his breakfast and leaves the room. I stand there with a grin on my face. Ema leaves soon after confused as to my clothes.
"Here Tsubaki" I say throwing a towel over his head.
"Thanks Imouto-chan. but you could at least help me clean myself up." He says. I can sense a smirk in his voice.
"No, I think you can do that just fine." I tell him and lean my back against the counter.
"Aw, I was hoping you would." He says pouting.
"Hurry up Tsubaki we don't want to be late." Asuza says standing up to take his dishes away. He turns around and stops in his tracks seeing me, a blush rises to his cheeks. He shakes his head and walks past me into the kitchen. I hold a hand up to my mouth to try and stifle my giggles.
"Asuza, wait for me." Tsubaki whines and stands up leaving his plates on the table. He turns around and sees me, his eyes go wide before quickly changing to a seductive look. He rushes to me and hugs me, whispering in my ear he says "Imouto-chan, you must want me to stay with you today. Why don't you go back to bed, and let me take care of you today?"
"You are busy Nii-san, I can't take you away from your work, besides I feel fine, so why would you need to take care of me?" I ask him acting like I don't know what he is talking about. Asuza hits him on the back of the head.
"Itai, That hurt. What was that for?" Tsubaki pouts.
"Leave it at that we are going to be late." Asuza says and pulls him along behind him.
"Hai." Tsubaku says. He looks back at me and winks, before disappearing around the corner.
I walk out of the kitchen shaking my head and laughing. I head back to my room deciding I might as well get ready for the day. I put my bandages back on my torso, figuring they would do me the most good. "Great I have to wear these things again." I say to myself. I change into jeans and a different t-shirt and I go back downstairs. I sit on the couch and turn the TV on, but I am completely bored with it.
"How are you feeling?" Masaomi asks. I look up to see him sitting next to me.
"Bored out of my mind." I say laying down on the couch.
"Nothing to do, huh?" he asks chuckling.
"Nope, Ukyo won't let me do anything, and I can't stand sitting here doing nothing." I say pulling a pillow down over my face.
I feel the pillow pulled up and I open my eyes to see Masaomi looking down at me with a smile on his face. "Well I am taking Wataru shopping for some warmer clothes later, do you want to come?" he asks.
"Anything besides sitting here and dying of boredom." I say sitting up and giving him a hug.
"Ahem," I break the hug with Masaomi. Standing at the top of the stairs is Subaru, with someone in a suit behind him. "Where is Kyo-nii.?" Subaru asks with a blank look.
"UKYO." I yell towards the kitchen.
"Is something wrong?" he says coming in the room breathless and still wearing his apron.
I giggle at him and say "Subaru is looking for you."
"Ukyo, this man says he is your associate." Subaru says pointing behind him. I take closer look and realize it is Daisuke.
"Daisuke, I have your papers upstairs, I will be right down with them." Ukyo says pushing his glasses up. He leaves the room taking his apron off.
"Hey, Daisuke." I say waving to him.
"Miss Hinata! What are you doing here?" he asks surprised.
"Oh you know, just hanging around." I say and smile at him. "What have you been up to?"
"You know each other?" Masaomi asks confused.
"Yup, Daisuke takes care of the legal matters where I work." I say smiling at him.
"Which is why I am here, I had Ukyo look over the papers before I handed them to you so that there wouldn't be any mistakes in them." Daisuke says pushing his glasses up while using his hand to cover his blush.
"Oh," Masaomi says looking at Daisuke.
"Here you go." Ukyo says walking back into the room without the apron, and a folder in his hands.
"Thank you, was there anything wrong with them?" Daisuke asks turning his attention to Ukyo.
"No, you did well on them." Ukyo says handing them over to Daisuke. "I think your client will be pleased."
"Thanks. Here are some of the papers you asked for from the office." Daisuke says taking a folder that looks just like the one Ukyo handed him out of his briefcase. "Oh, how is your sister doing?" Daisuke asks remembering why Ukyo would be home.
"She is better, she just needs to get some rest." Ukyo says throwing a glare at me.
"Yeah, yeah, whatever you sa,y warden." I say with a smirk.
"Wait, your Ukyo's sister?" Daisuke says looking at me confused.
"Yup, as of a few months ago." I say to him.
"Do you know each other?" Ukyo asks.
"Your associate here handles the legal matter where Evolette works at." Masaomi says looking at Ukyo.
"By the way now that those papers are finished mind if look at them so I can sign them." I say to Daisuke sitting up on the couch. "The sooner the better right.
"Right." He says and hands me the folder. "By the way when is Ms. Love coming to Japan? I have something's for her as well." Daisuke says sitting beside me on the couch. I look over the pages as he talks to me.
"She was here for a few weeks, but she won't be back for another 6-8 weeks." I say turning the page. "You will have to catch her at work that is the only place you will find her when she gets here."
"Oh, do you know of any way besides phone that I can reach her." Daisuke asks.
"Yeah, I will write down her address for you when I am finished." I say turning the page over.
"You have been to Evolette's work?" Masaomi asks Daisuke curiously. Ukyo sits down beside Masaomi, interested as well.
"Yeah, I was there when she first started fixing it up." Daisuke says.
"She hasn't told us where she works, what kind of place is it?" Ukyo asks him going into lawyer mode.
"It is a club." I say cutting Daisuke off, he looks over at me confused. "I am in charge there. Ms. Love, the owner is a very close friend of mine and asked me to look after it while she is overseas." I say.
"Oh, so that was why you worked so late at night." Masaomi says. Ukyo looks at me for a minute probably wondering if I was telling the truth. "Will it be able to run itself without you?"
"Kaiji, the manager has already been informed and will do a wonderful job. I will just have a lot to clean up when I get back, which is when exactly?" I say, glancing up at Masaomi from my paper work.
"Well it depends on what kind of work you will be cleaning up." Masaomi says.
"Mostly paperwork." I say after thinking about it for a minute.
"Then I don't see a reason for you not to go back soon. Just rest another day or two, and then you can go back." Masaomi says thinking on it. I nod my head and keep reading the paperwork. "But someone will need to start taking you to and from work from now on." Masaomi adds on after a moment.
I stop my reading and look up at him with a cold stare. "I don't need a babysitter, or a bodyguard." I tell him not breaking the stare.
"Then have Kaiji bring your paperwork here, and you can do them from here." Ukyo says pushing his glasses up. "We just don't want anything else to happen to you."
"I understand that and I appreciate it, but I can take care of myself. " I say shifting the stare to Ukyo.
"That is what you said before, but look what happened." Masaomi says kindly.
"It happened once, it could happen again." Ukyo says giving me his glare.
"Fine then I want Hikaru to be the one to take me." I say after thinking about it for a minute.
"If he can then he will but if he can't someone else will have to." Masaomi says agreeing to my compromise. I look back down at the papers Daisuke had for me and finish reading them over.
"Do you have a pen I can use to sign them?" I say to Daisuke. He pulls one out of his brief case and hands it to me. His fingertips brush against mine for a second and he pulls away quickly, using that hand to push his glasses up and hide his growing blush. I roll my eyes as I look down at the papers signing them. "Here you go." I say straightening the papers. "If there are any more for me to sign, you know where I am at."
"Alright, but it might be best if I give them to Ukyo so he can hand them to you. It might me easier that way." Daisuke says standing up suddenly and heading to the door with the folder in his hands.
"Okay, see ya later then." I say and wave to him.
"Let me show you out." Ukyo says and walks ahead of Daisuke.
After they leave the room, I lay back down on the couch. "Wake me when we are going shopping." I say to Masaomi. I turn over and go sleep.
Several hours later we are walking into the residence, back from our shopping trip. I stop in front of a tree in the courtyard. "You two go ahead inside, I want to stay out here and watch the stars for a bit." I say to Masaomi.
"Don't stay out here too long or you might get sick." Masaomi says with a smile and walks inside. I walk over to the tree and sit under it, laying my two shopping bags beside me. I pull my coat closer to me feeling the cold wind blow against me. "Everyone seemed back to normal today. I don't want them to worry about me." I say and look up at the stars wrapping my arms around my middle. "Hopefully my injuried heal quickly so I can go back to work, and school. How long will I have to act like this?" I sit there for a half hour thinking about what happened the past few days. I shiver and stand up grabbing my bags. I see Ema walk to the doors, and I turn that way. "I better get inside." I say to myself and follow after Ema. I stop several yards from the door, seeing Tsubaki come out of the residence with a gloomy face. "Tsubaki?" I say. His head whips up in my direction and he puts a small smile on.
"Evie, You should get inside it is cold out here." He says seeing me shiver. He puts a hand on my head and walks off past me. I turn around and watch him slowly walk away. 'Something's wrong, he isn't acting the same' I think to myself as I watch him walk off with his head down and his hands in his pockets.
"Evie, did you see Tsubaki?"I hear someone say. I turn around to see Azusa behind me, wearing Pajamas and a jacket.
"He went that way." I say pointing behind me. "Azusa if you are going after him you need to put something warmer on." He ignores me and walks in the direction I pointed. I grab his hand as he walks past me and turn him around. He looks at me surprised for a moment. "Here, at least wear this." I say pulling a black hat out of my bag. He looks at it without moving. I roll my eyes and put it on his head. "Go after him, I will have coffee and a warm blanket ready for when you get back." I tell him, and at my words he runs after Tsubaki. I head inside to get warmed up, wondering what is going on between the twins.
A/N
Hello Happy Thursday. I had a great day all things considering. I had orientation to clinical site form 9-12 and after that for the first time ever I was able to Donate Blood. There are some hot guys that work for Hoxworth if I do say so myself. I didn't faint, but a friend of mine came close, a lot of the hot guys had to rush in on her. lucky girl, but at the say time poor her. The needles they use are fuckng huge. Well enough about that. I am setting up a poll about who and what should that oneshot I mentioned will be about, and there will be one later on as to who's route you want me to start first. The one with the most votes, will be what I will post first, from there it all depends on how I am feeling, because 1 route a week for 9 people, well that is a lot to work on, and a while between each persons route. I won't post them, as I don't have this part fully finished. I am just going to be typing up senarios that will be in the routes as they come to me, so that I can work on them all but not have to frantically pull something out of my ass last minute to get something up. So I look forward to what you all think on these two matters. Have a great Weekend, talk to you next Thursday.
