Kyou entered the Dojo and nodded at the dilligent students who have come for lessons. He bit his lip. It was only the 3rd time that he had showed affection towards Tohru ever since he took over the dojo. He sighed as he walked into what would be Kazuma's bedroom if he would to be alive. The dojo house had a kitchen, a bathroom… everything a normal house would have because martial arts was Kazuma's passion. That's why he had extended his tiny house into a big landed property, the capital given from the Main House. Kazuma once said that this way, he would not be such a hassle to travel back and forth in the dojo's house.

Kyou looked around the empty room, the bitter nostalgic feeling pricking at his heart as memories of him and Kazuma started playing at the back of his head, like an old movie. "Shishou?" A male, young voice rang behind him. He wiped his tears away and turned around to see a bright and handsome 6-year-old boy at the door. The boy had big bright and brown eyes and 2 dimples could be seen on his cheeks whenever he smiled. He had dark grayish blue hair color which reminded Kyou, so terribly much of Kazuma. Kyou smiled at the boy and lifted him high in the air, just like how Kazuma would whenever he saw Kyou.

"Ready to do some Kung-Fu?" Kyou asked the boy. The boy nodded pleasantly and Kyou put him down and looked away sorrowfully. "Shishou…?" The boy asked, Kyou looked at him and raised his eyebrows in question. "Are you living with that girl who gave us cookies last week?"

Kyou smiled and nodded. "Are you two married? … Won't you have babies?" A naïve question, yes, Kyou had to give him credit for that, but he merely smiled and said no. "Aye…" An older teen came into the room, leaning against the door with his arms crossed. He was at Kyou's chest and had eyes the deepest tint of purple. It was not until last year that Kyou had discovered that those eyes were natural borne; His mother had a pair of deep purple eyes too. His hair was ruffled and unkempt but somehow, it managed to look reasonably charming. If Kyou were to brand him a smile, he would have been The Smirk because that was what he was doing right now, smirking at Kyou's inability to commit.

"5 years, Shishou… don't you think you are being too cruel to Tohru-kun?" The older teen somehow, had a close bond with Tohru, the minute the both of them met, they were smiling and laughing like they knew each other for very long. Not surprising really, considering Tohru seems to have a close bond with practically everybody she meets.

"You can't expect her to wait for 5 years and not get anything out of it, you know… I mean, she's not getting any younger… and you're not doing any better at committing, why bother keeping her when she have so many other men who would love to be her husband?" Did I even mention he is very mature for his tender age and that he is being such a prick by saying things which are so disgustingly true?

Kyou sighed and ran a hand through his orange hair, "Look, I know what I have to do, okay? I'm 25 and I know better than a 16 year old, now don't you two have lessons?! Go go!"

The older teen rolled his eyes, "Whatever, but you're doing injustice to Tohru considering a woman's youth is very important to any woman and you're not doing any good by shutting up and leading her on when she's not going to get married anyway, walk away if you're not going to marry her for goodness sake, I'm sure my brother would gladly take the opportunity to comfort her。。。" He smirked and walked away while the little boy stayed there for a while, even though he did not understand words like commit and stuff, he looked crossly at Kyou, pouted his lips and stomped off.

Kyou turned and looked away, gritting his teeth in anger. Angry at how the truth seemed to prick his ears and heart.

Kids nowadays…
