Chapter 4: Jealousy and Black
Princess Sango
1 week later…
Ai and Genta sat on the front porch steps eating ice cream, watching Shinichi and Ran emptying the car. "Genta do you have any younger siblings?"
"Iie Ai-chan but I consider you a sibling in some way; also hopefully this baby will be a sibling too."
Ai shook her head, "I was excited at first but now that's all they talk about! I can't stand it; even Aunt Koja and Uncle Koji talk about it. For once I want it to be just me and you and my family again, not an extra person!"
Genta stared at Ai unbelievably, "You don't mean that do you Ai?"
"I don't know…I'm having mixed feelings about it."
"She's right, of course she would have mixed feelings," came Akemi's voice from behind them.
"Akemi-chan, you usually don't show up out here!" they both shouted.
"Yeah but the sun is refreshing sometimes, even for ghosts. Also Ai-chan, don't be jealous, you should be happy!"
"Why? That baby's hogging the attention."
"Well someone sure has been spoiled," Eva interpreted.
"Grandma, you're here too!"
"I'm always here, whether you see me or not."
Ai nodded to her but then grabbed Genta's hand, "Why don't we go to the park Genta-kun?"
"N-nani?" He asked confused as he ate the last bit of his ice cream.
"We'll be back before dinner Genta I promise! Let's just go to the park for awhile."
"Okay."
"Perfect! Okasan, can Genta and I go to the park?"
"Hai, be home before dinner!"
"Okay, come on Genta, bye Akemi, Eva."
With that the two ran off.
At the park…
"Now that we're here we can do whatever we want!"
Ai smiled as she climbed on top of the jungle gym and smiled, "Free at last!"
Genta sat down on the swings and watched Ai run around and scream and shout. She's so happy but that jealousy where did that come from?
He shook his head as he ran up to Ai and grabbed her around the waist, "I've got Ai-chan; I've got Ai-chan!"
"Let me go Genta-kun, let go!" she shrieked as he headed towards the river, her dress flowing.
"Why should I?" Genta challenged her.
"Because I said so!" she shrieked again as Genta through her into the river.
"No fair Genta-kun, you get back here!" Ai screamed and jumped out of the river, her dress drenched.
"Try to catch me!" Genta screamed back and started to run away before he bumped into someone, wearing black.
Genta looked up at him and held back a scream, "G-gomen ne mister, I was only playing."
"Watch where you're going kid, you could get hurt if you don't watch out," came his curt reply.
Genta watched him leave before returning to Ai and told her they had to head home.
"Why Genta-kun?"
"We just have to Ai, don't question right now."
Ai gave him a confused look before following him, and he even called a cab to take them home!
Home…
"Ai go get changed and ready for dinner, I have to talk to Shinichi-san."
"Nani, what's wrong Genta-kun?"
Genta gave her a reassuring smile, "Just trust me on this one okay?"
"Okay…" Ai mumbled before running inside the house.
"What do you want to talk to me about Genta?" asked Shinichi, holding groceries.
Genta looked around outside, making sure no one could hear them before looking back at Shinichi, "I think they found Ai-chan again Shinichi-san."
