Chapter Two: Cho and Sha Household
Author's Note: I apologize for taking so long and failing to translate the Japanese phrases I used in the first chapter. Make no mistake, I'll do them now.

It was around seven fourty five when she glanced up the clock. Her lime green eyes then turning back to the toast that she made. She sighed and set the plates of toast on the table, a steaming pot of tea by its side. She poured a share in each cup and then turned back to the sink, washing her hands.
''Anata, I guess you tried to make breakfast again.'' Cho Hakkai said from the doorway. She looked up and sighed as she shook her head.
''Well, you're always the one who gets up early - I decided I desrved a turn.''
Hakkai smiled and laughed softly as he walked to her and kissed her cheek, she only smiled and leaned back as he embraced her from behind. ''Ohayou gozaimasu, Hotaru.'' He greeted.
She smiled and nodded. ''You guys better get ready, we have to leave soon. I'll be late and so will you.'' She looked up. ''You have a lecture don't you?''
''Eh. Sanzo will be there ahead of me again, he always is.'' He said with a smile he sat down and took a sip of his tea. ''This is a good brew.'' Hotaru sighed in relief as she thought she had screwed everything up again.
Hakkai glanced at his wife. Formerly known as Ishida Hotaru, had been with him for so long and he loved every moment of his marriage. She was as beautiful as the day he married her, with her long black hair which reached her waist and her lime green eyes which somehow gave her expression a docile air. Very slender in built, quite simple as she did there was a sort of beauty in her that no one could ignore. She was a nice, polite and dedicated woman. Her caring nature had somehow won Hakkai over as they met and got to know each other before their marriage. She this type of nature did not mean she didn't speak her mind if needed. She was opinionated to a point - but she was also sensitive. Not to mention, she seemed to have a tendancy to worry more than her husband. Which was fine, because he always calmed her down.
Hakkai taught in Tokyo University, where he was a professor of Contemporary Literature. His wife was in a different job position. She worked in PRO (Public Relations) and she was one of the best at it. Both of them being busy, almost having conflicting schedules but at the same time spending enough time with each other was a big mystery to other couples they knew. Hakkai had been collegues with Sanzo for a long time now, considering they knew each other even before college. Mika and Hotaru were close friends since grade school. It was such a coincidence that they ended up marrying the men they married.
He looked up and asked. ''Where are the kids?''
''Upstairs still getting ready. They woke up a little late today. Satoshi was ahead a few minutes and he woke up Rie in a hurry since he thought they were going to be late.'' She paused and walked to the side of the stairs. ''In fact, I better call them now.''
She stopped and glanced up as two doors of two rooms which were beside each other were still closed. She called out to her children.
''Satoshi! Rie! Get down here or you'll be late.''
The doors immediately opened and the first one to come down was a young man of fourteen. With short length dark brown hair and lime green eyes which he got from his mother. He was pretty tall for someone his age, and he was wearing silver-rimmed glasses. He almost looked like his father, but his features were a little sharper. He was carrying books with one hand as he was dressed in his school uniform. He smiled warmly and gently at his mother.
''Good morning, mom.'' He greeted in a soft-spoken voice. He kissed his mother's cheek as he went downstairs before heading for the table where his father was. Hakkai only smiled at his son and nodded.
''Did you have a good night's sleep, Satoshi?''
''Eh.'' Satoshi laughed sheepishly and sighed. ''I would be lying if I said yes. I had better sleep than last night.''
''Well maybe you shouldn't tire yourself out too much.'' A young girl's voice chirped from the stairway. They looked up and saw a young girl with jet black hair which was already past her shoulders and emerald green eyes just like her father's. She wasn't that tall and she had fair skin. She kissed her mother's cheek before following her brother shortly.
''Seriously, onichan. I'm worried about you.'' Rie said with a sigh. ''You haven't been getting any sleep at all.''
''I'm busy, Rie-chan. It can't be helped.'' Satoshi only replied as he took a sip of his tea. ''By the way, I thought you were meeting with Miori-chan today, you guys were going to walk home together?''
''No. She called to cancel that. Eiri-kun has to walk her home. '' she paused. ''I heard that Eiri-kun got called to the guidance office again.''
''Eh.'' Satoshi sighed with a slight smile and shook his head. ''Apparently, he disrespected Kazama-sensei or something of the sort. ''
Hotaru blinked, then smiled as she raised an eyebrow. ''I heard from Mika- chan that he fell asleep in his class. On purpose.'' Rie smiled and sighed as she nodded. '' Yeah. That's exactly what happened. Kazama-sensei doesn't like people who sleep in class or who are always late for it.''
Hakkai laughed softly and shook his head. ''I guess he got it from his father. He's not the type to stop himself from doing something that he wants to do.'' He looked at his son. ''Didn't Yajima-sensei tell you to stop hanging out with him?''
Satoshi paused and looked back at his father. ''Didn't your teachers tell you the same thing when you were in high school with Uncle Sanzo and Uncle Gojyo?''
''You may have a point.''
''By the way, did you hear that someone was replacing Morota-sensei?'' Rie asked, not looking up from her toast.
''Who are they replacing him with?''
''Someone named Kasahara Emiko. Morota-sensei will be out for a while.'' She paused and looked up. ''By the way, mom. Yajima-sensei told me that she wanted to see you.''
''Eh?'' Hotaru looked at her daughter. ''Why?''
Rie laughed softly and sighed. ''Well.'' She said raising up a finger with a bright and pleasant smile on her face. ''It's just that Miori-chan and I were out a few days ago and a few fourth year boys surrounded us so - we pretty much had no choice but to -''
Hotaru's eyes widened at the mention. ''Oh my god! What the hell are those boys thinking? They didn't hurt you? -'' she paused and then looked at her. ''Wait a minute - should I worry about the bullies instead?''
Satoshi and Rie laughed, Hakkai sighed and smiled as he shook his head.
''I'll go see her.'' Hotaru said with a concerned sighed. Not that she was mad, her daughter didn't have any fault in it and she understood the necessity to fight back in the situation. She was just that kind of mother.
''I'll drive us to the University in a few minutes.'' Hakkai said smiling at his children before looking out the window. ''And they wonder where these children get it.''
***
There was a loud voice, which echoed through by the side of the stairs.
''Oi! Get your butts down here or I'll kick it down here!'' Gojyo called with a smirk as there were sounds of plates being placed on the table. He sighed and backed away a little and looked ahead. ''De. It's not my ass if they're late.''
A woman who looked as if she were twenty (though it isn't her real age) laughed and shook her head. She had short dark blonde hair and tanned skin just like Gojyo's though not as dark. Her eyes were aqua blue. Her built wasn't simple or slender in an average way. She had a full, matured and yet graceful built which had the ability to catch everyone's attention in a room. She was pretty tall which made her even more eyecatching. She put a hand on her hip and smirked. ''Not like they care anyway.'' She answered placing a plate of eggs on the table. ''Are you guys going to eat or am I going to eat this all up for all of you?'' her grin made Gojyo smirk as he walked back to the table, lighting a cigarette.
Sha Gojyo and Makoto Naomi were NOT married. They just started living together a few years back - as they were lovers. Going out, spending time with each other and most importantly, sleeping together. Apparently, there was a little mishap as Naomi got pregnant one day and decided a few days after that she was going to keep the baby. It was quite a feat for Gojyo to stay with a woman for SO long since he wasn't the type. Then again, it was the same for her. One guy was never enough. But the irony of life had just simply put them together through the two children they had.
Gojyo's profession wasn't the most wholesome one. But not that Naomi or his kids minded, they supported him all the way since he could handle it and they could see that. He was a full-time professional gambler and was he damn good at it. He never lost a game, and when he did know he was likely to lose, it was time to cheat and he had no qualms about it. It kept enough money for them anyway. Naomi was a theater actress and she was pretty famous already. She didn't dream of going on TV or the sort. She loved her job and she would never leave it.
There was a door that burst open and there was a hysterical fit of laughter as footsteps came walking down the stairs. A young man with shoulder length blonde hair, kept it a ponytail but leaving strands down and blue eyes - resembling Gojyo came down and sat down beside him.
''Yo.'' He greeted with a smirk as he proceeded to filling his glass with water and drinking.
Naomi smirked and arched an eyebrow. ''What did you do, Aki?''
Aki looked at his mom and then shrugged. ''Nani?''
His mother wouldn't buy it and as he glanced at his father, saw him with one eyebrow raised and a smirk on his face. Aki laughed and was about to say something when a young girl of fourteen came down. A slightly annoyed expression, which screamed 'I will get you back for this.' As she grinned. She had long wavy crimson hair and eyes - she was almost built like her mother though of course, her built was a lot younger - though mature for someone her age. She had her father's skintone as her brother had his mother's.
''Very funny.'' She said.
''What is it, Natsumi?'' Gojyo asked puffing out a smoke as he looked at his daughter.
Natsumi sighed and pulled down her side of her skirt by her left hip slightly. ''This.'' She answered. Gojyo and Naomi took a close look to see a small drawing of a flower with a small arrow which pointed to the inside of her skirt. Both their parents were slightly taken a back before they started laughing.
''Hey!'' Natsumi cried as she frowned at her three family members who were all laughing.
''It's kind of funny.'' Naomi said laughing a little harder. Gojyo was already pounding the table.
''What do you mean kind of?''
''Dad! Mom!''
Natsumi frowned but then smirked and pointed at her older brother. ''I'm gonna get you back real BAD for this.''
''Oh, I'm so scared.'' Aki answered sarcastically.
Natsumi fixed her uniform again before she sat down beside her brother and started for the plate of eggs. ''Mom, I'm going to stay behind a little while after class. ''
''Sure, whatever you need to do.'' Naomi never asked them to call her. She wasn't the type to bother her children about their whereabouts, but it wasn't as if she were irresponsible, she just wasn't the type to worry about these things.
''I'll drive you to school today.'' Naomi said with a smirk. ''Your father has a big business arrangement.''
''this guy's a complete dupe.'' Gojyo said taking a bit of the eggs on his plate. ''Can't go wrong. I'll be winning straight through out.''
''Everyone's a complete dupe for you.'' Natsumi said as she grinned.
''Only cause he cheats.'' Aki added.
''Oi, kora. Are you trying to pick a fight or something?'' Gojyo asked, glancing and smirking at his son.
''You're getting too old, I'll pass. You might break a knee.'' There were immediate sounds of people beating each other up. Natsumi ignored it and continued to eat while Naomi poured herself another glass of juice and drank.
''Hey kids, that's enough.'' Naomi called in a teasing voice.
''Kids aren't this stupid are they?'' Natsumi said with a smirk.
Gojyo sat back down and leaned back and Aki went back to eating breakfast.
''Did you know that Morota-sensei got into an accident?'' Natsumi said as she looked at her brother.
''About time that old man broke a leg.'' Aki added, drinking from his glass.
''Thought you might say that. He's being replaced by a Kasahara Emiko- sensei. ''
''Is she good looking? Or are we stuck with another she-man?''
''Really don't know. Never seen her before.''
Natsumi looked outside and sighed. ''I hope something happens at school today.''
Gojyo looked at his daughter. ''Define something.''
''Everyday is just the same old, same old.'' She said with another sigh. ''Nothing new ever happens anymore. I'm getting really bored, to be honest. The people and the everyday events are starting to get old.''
''Somehow, I know what you mean.'' He answered her.
There were a few moments of silence among the four of them as if they all understood. After a few moments, Gojyo got up and walked to the door.
''Ja. I'm off.'' He said. ''Gotta to win a big game today.'' He smirked and glanced back at Naomi. ''Mainly because the goddess of luck is smiling at me today.'' He winked.
Naomi only smirked, rolled her eyes and walked to the sink. ''Shut-up and keep going. Those old lines just don't work anymore.''
''Sore ja ne.''
***
Eiri and Miori started to get themselves ready as the car stopped infront of Hokuseii High School. Their father glanced at them by the mirror at the side of the car, and their mother was reading quietly.
''See you guys later.'' She said, glancing at her children and smiling slightly as she nodded.
''Bye mom, Bye dad.'' Miori pushed the car door open and stepped out. Eiri nodded and followed quietly, shutting the door behind him as he got off. They watched as the car drove away.
Miori then looked up and sighed. ''Well, I better get to class.'' She said, looking at her brother - she suddenly frowned. ''I'll see you here later. If you're not here by five minutes, I'm LEAVING you, got that?''
''Che.'' Eiri said as he walked off. ''Fine. If you go on your own, I'll hunt you down and BEAT you.''
Miori frowned before turning away and starting to walk to the freshmen building when she stopped and blinked as she looked to her left and thought she saw someone watching her. She couldn't have been sure, she looked around and saw no one there.
Must be imagining things. She said as she shrugged and walked on.
There was a quick flash before her and she gasped as she backed away. She frowned and looked around her - but saw nothing and no one there. After a few moments, she gasped again as she saw something from the corner of her eye that she couldn't believe she saw. She thought she had seen someone dressed like any other person. But there was something different. She thought that she had seen someone with long pointed ears and sharp claws, looking at her maliciously. She frowned again as she looked around and saw nothing there.
With hesitant and cautious steps, her eyes glanced around her making sure no one was watching her. She walked on to the freshmen building.
But from the side of the corner wall, a man hid. Sharp claws and pointed ears as she had seen - he grinned and laughed softly.
''Genjo Sanzo no musume.'' he said in a hoarse voice. ''I'll make sure to enjoy killing you.''
