Chapter 5: Happiness

Elena walked into the house and left Hige outside to clean. She went upstairs into her office, and began working on some paper work. Tsume soon stood in the doorway and began to watch her.

"Yes?" She said, not even turning around to see who it was. Tsume said nothing he just walked up behind her and rapped his arms around her neck and placed his chin on the top of her head. Elena kept working and smiled. Tsume then kissed Elena on the cheek.

"You shouldn't do that." Elena said.

"Why not?"

"Because I might begin to think you like me." She put down her pen and turned to face Tsume.

"What if I do?"

"What if you don't?"

"No, I think I do." He then began to lean in to kiss Elena but was interrupted by Chichi.

"Sissy, where is Hige?"

"Outside." After Chichi left to find her brother Elena got up and shut the door. She then walked over to Tsume and rapped her arms around his neck and they began to kiss when Chichi knocked on the door.

"Sissy, Mimi and Yumi called and wanted Toboe and me to go to the fair with them. Is that ok?"

"Sure, go on." Elena looked into Tsume's eyes and smiled. He then rapped his arms around her waist and pulled her closer to him but, yet again, Chichi began to knock on the door.

"You don't mind driving us do you?"

Elena sighed and pulled away from Tsume. And said. "Ok lets just hurry ok?"

"Can we get some ice-cream before we go to the fair?"

Elena turned and looked at Tsume. He shrugged and said "It is her birthday. I'll wait up for you." He then kissed her, and Elena, Chichi, and Toboe left.

In the car Chichi asked "So, Toboe, have you ever heard Green Day?"

"No, I don't think I have."

"What? You've never heard of Green Day? That is Chichi's favorite band."

"Sure, is. Here, I have the CD."

The entire time Chichi and Toboe were talking and listening to the CD, Elena was thinking about Tsume.

"How could someone make me feel like this? When was the last time I've ever felt this happy?" She thought to herself. They had just got out of Dairy Queen when Elena snapped back to reality.

"Sissy, Sissy, are you all right?"

"Yes, Chichi, I'm fine. I'm just thinking."

"About what?"

"How cute a couple you and Toboe are." Elena smiled and looked at the two kids.

"Couple?" They both asked.

"Yes, couple."

"Are we?" Chichi asked Toboe.

"Well, I don't know." Toboe answered "I do like you, a lot."

"I like you too." Chichi said as she blushed.

"Aw, how cute." By that time they had reached the entrance to the fair. "Well, you kids have fun. Call me when you are ready to come home."

When Elena got back to the house, she noticed that she had been gone for two hours. She went into the living room and noticed Hige asleep on the couch. She walked over and took the bowl of popcorn, which was laying on his stomach, and the bottles of cola and put them in the kitchen. She then went back and laid a blanket over him. She walked up stairs and looked into Kiba's room and saw that he was asleep. She looked across the hall and noticed Tsume's light was still on. She smiled and opened the door and walked in. Tsume had fallen asleep reading a book as he was waiting for Elena to get home.

"I don't blame you." Elena said. She then took the book out of his hands and tucked Tsume in bed. She then kissed him on the forehead, turned off the light, and went into her room. It wasn't long before Chichi called wanting to come home.

"So, did you two have fun?"

"Yes ma'am. Hey, I was talking to some other friends and they want to know if we can come back tomorrow."

"Sure. We will make a day of it. All of us will go."

"All of us?"

"Yea, Hige, Kiba, Tsume, Toboe, you, and me. All of us."

"Yea, that sounds fun." Chichi said in a low voice.

"You ok?" Toboe asked Chichi.

Chichi just smiled and said. "Yea, just a little bit tired."

That night Elena went to bed and she was sleeping so wonderfully when she was awoken. She looked at the clock and saw it was 4:00 A.M. She rolled over aggravated but soon saw it was Tsume.

She smiled and said. "What are you doing up at 4:00 in the morning?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to finish what I started." He then crawled under the covers with Elena and kissed her. His hand soon went under her shirt and he began to rub her waist and he then slowly began move his hand down. She twitched and broke away from his kiss.

"Sorry. I didn't mean to make you feel uncomfortable."

"No I'm fine. You just found a tickle spot."

"Oh I did?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

"Don't do that."

"What?" He asked and again raising his eyebrow.

"That."

"I don't know what you are talking about." He again raised his eyebrow.

"Thats my thing."

"Oh this?" he said raising his eyebrow again.

"Yes that."

"No, I think you are confused. The eyebrow thing is my thing."

"No, it's not."

"You wanna bet?" He smiled and then got on top of her and began to tickle her. Elena began to twitch and turn and began to scream.

"Stop it! Please!"

By that time Hige and Chichi were outside the door watching them.

"I don't think I've ever seen him like that." Hige said.

"Who?"

"Tsume. He's always been so uptight."

Chichi said nothing but turned and went back to bed as Ying and Yang followed her.

"What's her problem?" Hige asked himself.

Later that night Elena and Tsume were just laying in the bed holding each other when Elena began to laugh.

"What?" Tsume asked.

"It's nothing. It's just I don't remember the last time I've been this happy."

"Yea, I know. I don't remember the last time I smiled before I meet you."

Elena looked into Tsume's eyes and smile and said. "Tsume, thank you."

"We should really thank your brother. If it wasn't for him, we would have never meet."

"Yea, you right. I'll Thank him in the morning."

Tsume then pulled Elena closer and they soon feel asleep in each other's arms.
