"Katsuya?" Came the voice again as the door was pushed open slightly.
Jou turned over uncomfortably beneath the sheets, sitting up to get a better look at the newcomer.
A small, pale face peeked from behind the large cherry-oak door as if to make sure it was all right to enter.
"Ah… Ohayoo Shizuka-san." Smiled the maid as she made a gesture for her to enter.
She smiled, mumbled an audible thank you, and then made her way towards the bed.
"Would you like some tea?" Inquired the maid, making to leave.
"Yes, I would love some, thank you…" Smiled the auburn-haired girl, looking much older in her shoulder-length cut.
The door shut quietly behind Maria as a silence settled upon the siblings.
"You cut your hair…" Noted Katsuya as he looked up at his deeply frowning sister.
A soft growl was emitted from Shizuka's throat and the audible sound of flesh meeting flesh echoed in the large room.
"Jou, what is wrong with you?!" Cried the girl, desperately throwing her hands in the air.
Katsuya, wide-eyed, rubbed his reddening cheek as he peered up at his fuming sister.
"Shizuka…" He whispered, confused by the angered look in Shizuka's eyes.
"How could you do that to Seto?" She questioned, eyes glistening as if she had been hurt by Jou's actions.
"Do what?!" Cried the blonde, eyes narrowing slightly as he knitted his brows.
"You completely freaked him out! Whatever twisted game you're playing, stop, because it's not funny!" Shizuka whispered loudly, as she bit her lower lip, continuing before Jou could respond.
"You claimed to have forgotten your own daughter?" Shizuka whispered audibly, shaking her head.
Jou made an attempt to growl, but failed as he looked up into her crestfallen ocher orbs.
"Shizuka…" Jou started but was cut off once again.
"Jou, Seto was a wreck this morning…he called saying that he thought you were trying to ease into a divorce…" She had told him, putting a hand to her forehead in a dramatic display.
"Shizuka…I don't know what's going on!" Katsuya yelled quickly before he could be cut off again.
At first the girl had looked taken aback by the yelling, then settled on staring hard into Jou's eyes, mimicking her own.
"Look, first I was sleeping with Mai--" Katsuya started, but was again, interrupted by an exasperated yelp.
"You were what?!" Shizuka cried, grabbing Jou by the collar, and sitting him up gruffly.
"No…you don't understand! We're married--" He tried frantically, scared of the look into his sister's glaring eyes.
"Katsuya!!" Glared the auburn-haired girl.
"No! I was never married to Kaiba! I don't kn--" The blonde rose his voice.
"Explain this, then…" Shizuka glowered, raising Jou's hand to his face, allowing him to look upon the golden band around his finger.
"Shizuka… you have to listen to me…" Jou whispered, eyes glazing over as he looked down at the intricate designs of the ring, displaying upon it were two dragon-like hands, the clawed-fingers entwined with each other.
"Fine. I'm listening…" She ground out between clenched teeth as she released his collar.
Jou looked away from the dragon pattern upon the ring to look into his sister's eyes.
"Speak!" She cried, crossing her arms across her chest and looked expectantly down at the blonde.
Jou fumbled a bit over his words within his head before coming to a solution.
"Shizuka. You don't know what its like, waking up in the arms of someone you don't want to see… someone who is not the one you love… I'm not sure if I'm making nay sense, but…" The blonde whispered into the quiet room, eyes downcast, and focused on the small lumps at about midway length of the grand bed, that were Katsuya's feet.
"Katsuya…" Began the brunette, but the blonde had silenced her.
"Shizuka… I was so happy. I was married to Mai, and nothing in a million years could have ever broken my love for her. I love her, Shizuka. But, she was ripped away from me, and you know what?" Katsuya whispered, looking up at Shizuka's shocked features.
"I want her back."
Silence dawned upon the siblings as a thick tenseness drowned their heavy thoughts.
"Why are you acting as if you don't remember?" Inquired the blonde, desperately searching her confused eyes.
"Because, Katsuya… it never happened… You…you never married Mai." Shizuka murmured, sympathy for her older brother shining in her eyes as she peered down at him.
Katsuya was at a loss for words, and was slightly relieved that he hadn't had to come up with them, as there was a knock at the door.
"Shizuka-san?" Came Maria's voice as she entered slowly.
"Hai." She answered, her eyes locked with Jou's.
"Your tea is ready, Shizuka-san." The maid announced, setting the silver tray upon the nightstand, looking slightly quizzically at them.
"Ah…arigato." She smiled, turning away from her brother to take the ceramic mug into her own hands.
"Hai." Bowed the maid before leaving, feeling it best to leave the two alone.
"Jou…" Shizuka whispered, her back still facing her brother.
"Yes?" He questioned, suddenly becoming interested in the bed sheets.
"I do know what it's like…" She had whispered, turning slightly to catch his thoughtful glance.
And before Jou had any chance to respond, the distinct sound of wailing seeped through the door, which was slightly ajar…
((A/N:: So sorry this is so late… I hope you liked it just the same, though. I'll keep my updates earlier from now on. ^^;; Shizuka was kind of OOC, yus? But, let's keep in mind that siblings will and do fight, occasionally. Hm… It makes me wonder, they never fight on the show... It's weird… Anyways! I hope you enjoyed reading this chapter, and I'll get the next one up as soon as I can ^^. Thanks for reading! You're reviews truly make my day! Oh, and by the way, Happy Valentine's Day! [That rhymed… ^_^] ))
