"Home at last."-whispered Lilika in relief when she reached her house. "Sister. You finally came back."-said a male voice behind her. "Brother Sanosuke!"-exclaimed Lilika happily. "How was your day?"-asked Sanosuke giving his little sister a hug. "It went well."-she said. Sanosuke felt something moist on his clothing. "What's this?"-he asked looking at his pants. There was a blood stain on them. "What happened to you?!"-he said mad and at the same time worried when he saw her wound. "Nothing happened big brother."-she answered. He grabbed her arm and dragged her to her bedroom. "Lay down while I get some bandages."-he said madly- "And do me a favor and change your clothes. My friend is coming this evening and his bringing one of his friends." "You know I don't like when your friends come."-said Lilika picking a light yellow kimono with a white flower print out of her simple closet.- "They're always bothering me." "Don't worry sister."-answered Sanosuke- "You know that if they bother you they get in trouble with me." "Thank you brother."-she said while giving him a warm smile. "Let me get those bandages."-Sanosuke said getting out of the room and closing the door behind him.

"Can you tell me how you got injured?"-Sanosuke asked handing Lilika a moist cloth to clean her injury... again. "I don't know who did it, but I remember walking down the woods and suddenly my nature instinct told me something was trying to hurt me. But I reacted late and whatever it was reached me."-Lilika explained. "At least you're fine little Lili."-said Sanusuke putting her the bandages.- "Be more careful next time. I don't want to lose you just like mom." "Don't worry Sano. I'm 16 years old. I think I'm old enough to take care of myself."-answered Lilika standing up and picking up the kimono from the bed. "Well Lili. I'll live you alone now so you can change. My friends will come any minute."- her brother said leaving the room and closing the door behind him.

"Hello Aoshi."-greeted Sanosuke opening the door of his house. Lilika stood at her brothers side. "Hello Sano."-Aoshi greeted back. "Good evening Sir Aoshi."- greeted Lilika with a bow. "Good evening beautiful Lilika."-answered Aoshi taking her hand and kissing it gently. "Beware Aoshi. You do know she's MY little sister."-Sanosuke said standing behind Lilika. "If you don't mind I'm going for a little fresh air. Excuse me."-interrupted Lilika. The girl bowed once more and left to the backyard.

So? Who could Aoshi's friend be? Tell me everything you're thinking. But don't be harsh please. And as always I'm looking for ideas. Please tell them to me unless you're planning on using them. But if they're available it could appear in my story. Wait for the next chapter when we'll meet Aoshi's friend. Don't stop reviewing!
