A few weeks later..
" Ready? 1.2.3, smile.. Good! Change position!" Today they're taking
pictures of the new married couple. Akira was standing dully when Hikaru
was beside him, built a castle in the air.
"Children, come here to take a pic together with your parents!" come the
photographer's voice. They followed not-so enthusiasticly.
"Get ready.. 1.. 2.."
Suddenly, Hikaru remembered something. "Chotto matte!"
All stared at him with puzzled look.
"I.. I want to brush my hair first..," he can't think of more logical
reason.
[ Sai! Hide behind me at once! Squat! ]
The ghost pouted. [ Why? They can't see me at all. ]
"Looks like nothing wrong with your hair, Shindou.." Akira commented, which
earned him a glare from Hikaru.
[ A camera can take a ghost's image sometimes! ]
[ Eh? Hontou ni, Hikaru? I want to appear in the photo! ] Sai replied
happily.
"Are you ready, Hikaru? We can't wait for you all day. Just begin," ordered
Hikaru's mom.
[ Arghh! I'll take ur pic later, but NOT now! Sai! ] Hikaru screamed
desperately in mind. " Smile, 1.. 2..." [ Fine, fine. ] "..3!"
FLASH! Sai squatted in time. Hikaru sighed in relief. ~ ~ ~
Shortly, they lived under the same roof after their parents got married.
( Akira + Hikaru: AAARGHHHH!! NOOOOOOO!!! )
Some days later.. Akira still can't get his beloved mother replaced by Mrs
Shindou, while Hikaru obviously felt strange by the presence of his new
father who looks rather - err - scary. So, today's morning goes on like
before..
"Ohayou, otou-san., obaa.. I mean, okaasan.." Akira still hesitate to call
Mrs-no-longer-Shindou 'mother'. Touya Koyo stared at his son. Hikaru gulped
and thought that he would've ran away if he was in Akira's position.
"It's okay, honey. Akira will soon get used to call me 'okaasan', it's
only a matter of time," Mrs Touya tried to comfort his husband. Akira took
a seat far enough from his father to avoid getting lecture, especially in
front of Shindou.
" Hikaru, *your* father and I will manage some of your documents. Your name
will be Touya Hikaru."
Hikaru choked his milk. Akira gulped - yet he tried to hide it from his
father.
"UHUK! Uhuk! Mom, why is it so sudden? You didn't even ask me.."
Mrs Touya sent a death-glare to her son, which kept Hikaru quiet at once.
Akira blinked and wonder how a nice and gentle mother a moment ago now
could change all of the sudden.
"It's okay, dear.. Hikaru will soon get used to this.. it's only a matter
of time," Touya Koyo comforted his wife. Mrs Touya gave him the sweetest
smile and the two seemed to be in their own world.
Akira and Hikaru tried their best to look casual, though their faces
changed from white to green, then blue. Sai was giggling hard, but only
Hikaru noticed. He elbowed the ghost - definitely forgot that Sai is
untouchable, missed him and hit Akira.
"OUCH! What're u doin' Shin.. Hikaru!" Akira eyed his father warily, but he
seemed to be too dazzled in his own world to notice.
Both Hikaru and Akira were wondering what kind of days they would pass
later on when Mrs Touya said, "The presents we received during the wedding
are still piled up in the living room. It won't look good if some guests
come visit us... I haven't got time to arrange it."
Hikaru sure thought his mother had plenty of time, which MOST she spent
with her husband - for what, he doesn't want to know.
"We can arrange them later, honey. Just keep them in a room."
"No more vacant room to put them.." Mrs Touya started to think.
A scary idea appeared.
"I know! We'll put them in Hikaru's room. Hikaru, you'll stay in Akira's
room until we get back from honeymoon."
Two seconds passed without respond.
".. and me ? " Akira asked, though he knew the answer.
"Akira, you will share your room with *your* brother for only a few weeks,
won't you ? " came a firm reply and a dangerous look from his father.
A minute passed, no more responds. Even Sai has frozen, though only Hikaru
knew.
