At bedtime. I was tucked in bed with Keiko by my side. I was reading a book. Keiko leaned her head on my shoulder. I turned to look at her. I could tell she was upset by something.

"What is it Keiko?"

"We need to go to Ikea..."

"Why?..."

I knew the answer. I just wanted to make sure it was the right reason.

"Our sofa is now infected since Rachael is here. So, we need a new one. Let's get ones shaped as lips. That would be fun to make out on. What do you think?"

"Yeah! NO! Yeah to make out on the lips shaped sofa no on buying a new sofa. That sofa was just bought 3 months ago! After I won my bowling match! We and may I repeat are not getting a new sofa since my sister is sleeping on it. I am related to her. Am I poisonous?"

Keiko kissed me "You're not poisonous. You are addictive and I like that!"

I shut my book and we began our normal routine of the traditional parental love dance. Mmm... I like that word instead of sex. More less appealing... Don't ya think...

We were kissing eachother when we heard banging on the wall. It was Rachael. Wanting attention as usual. Actually she wanted a glass of water. Yes, she is a guest but she could at least be more polite about the whole situation.

"Get me water!" Rachael yelled at the top of her voice and banged at the same time.

Keiko banged at the wall too "Get the water yourself!"

"No!"

"How about yeah! Bitch!"

"KEIKO!" I shouted.

"What? She is."

"That doesn't mean you can nasty things about her," I told her.

"You say nasty stuff about New Kids on the Block all the time," Keiko replied cheekly.

I took a deep breathe "The difference between New Kids on the Block and my sister are New Kids on the Block were famous and my sister tried to be famous until she got mixed up in the wrong crowd. New Kids on the Block just spilt up. Get where I am going Keiko?"

Keiko was lying down and turned away from me. Suddenly the banging on the wall stopped. Keiko was in a mood with me which is unusual for her...

Rachael got her glass of water. Ryu woke up to get her it. He was developing a major crush on her and it was showing through like the colours in a stain glass window at a Christian Church. He sat down in front of the sofa and passed her the glass. Rachael sat up and drank it.

"That was great of you, Ryu. Thanks," Rachael said.

Ryu blushed and strugled to find the words "You... are... welcome!"

"Oh... a shy guy... Looking at you, you don't seem the type."

"Everytime, I am confident and up front. I get shot down like a bird flying in the sky," Ryu replied.

Rachael nodded.

"So... you find me attartive?" Rachael asked smirking away.

"YES!"

Ryu let the air in his balloon free. He was doing so well as the shy guy.

"I THINK YOU ARE VERY SEXY! I LIKE YOUR LEGS!" Ryu yelled.

Rachael started giggling "Well, you are lucky. I like my men young. I think your hair is alot better down. Would you like to go out with me?"

"YES!"

Rachael just rushed herself on Ryu and gave him full blown kiss. La French way. According to Tokagero it lasted 2 minutes. What a long kiss! That would do shame to Britney and Madonna!

Keiko woke up early this morning. Making pancakes. Only they were burnt. She was angry. Keiko only makes pancakes when she is in a bad mood and she was in a real bad mood.

"It smells like something burnt in heaven!" Tokagero said as he came in.

He looked at the huge pile of pancakes that were all burnt. Then he looked up at the ceiling and saw more pancakes stuck up the ceiling. That means Keiko was really really mad!

"What's wrong Kiki?" Tokagero asked her.

"First! Yohmei lets that woman! In my house and eat my unburnt fishsticks! Then Miki-kins won't buy a new sofa for the living room and now Miki-kins is sticking up for that woman!"

"That woman is his sister, Keiko."

"So? So? She stole all my In-laws furniture, pet fish and tried to ruin my Wedding Day!"

"I better get comfortable," Tokagero said sitting down at the kitchen table.

Keiko was about to take a trip to Memory Lane when Ryu and Rachael came in holding hands and acting like a couple of teenagers. Actually Ryu is 17 years old so he is a teenager. Rachael is in her late 30's and should act her age.

"Ooh Pancakes..." Ryu said amazed.

"They are burnt... Who makes burnt pancakes?"

Keiko slapped some burnt pancakes on a plate and laid it in front of Rachael. Keiko also gave Ryu some pancakes which were also burnt. Ryu ate his without any comments. Wish I could have said the same for Rachael.

"How can I eat these? They are burnt!" Rachael shouted.

Keiko turned and looked at Rachael in the eyes. "Do I look like I care?"

"I think you should care! I am your husband's sister! Your sister in law..."

"Eat your shit!" Keiko yelled.

Keiko stomped out the kitchen in a bad mood. I came in and was smiling in a fake way.

"Yes! Pancakes! Mm... my favourite."

I turn to look at the whole pile of pancakes Keiko made. They were all black and burnt. Just looking at them made me worry about Keiko. Never mind! Pancakes are pancakes. I ate them despite tasting like ash.

"I admire you, Mikihisa. For putting up with that woman!" Rachael exclaimed.

"Babe, just forget about Keiko. She ain't worth it," Ryu said putting his arm around my sister.

My eyes widen at what I just saw. Ryu then kissed Rachael on the cheek and she was giggling away like a schoolgirl. I was shocked at what I saw. Rachael was dating and suducing Ryu. Wow! Keiko was right... Here is today's lesson, always listen to your wife!
