(Japanese Smile Bomb)
In a crowded city, as I bump shoulders, I'm alone. On an endless prairie, as the wind whistles by, I'm all alone.
Which one is it that makes me want to cry more, I wonder. Marking it with twin circles, I feel a bit more grown-up!
It must be, that when I run into these terribly difficult walls, and unexpectedly, for whatever reason, The courage and power to break through rises up from within, All because of how, when I run into these terribly difficult people, they show me kindness, I bet!
Thank you very much!
Chapter 15
For the next two days, Yusuke couldn't sleep because of what he did to Kari, his own older sister. He hurt her with his mouth and he wished that there were something for him to do to make up for his big mouth.
After class, Yusuke thought to catch up with Kari and apologize for his actions.
"Hey Kari, wait up!" Yusuke yelled at his sister, but was ignoring him
"Hikari, wait!" Yusuke yelled again and grabbed her wrist for her to stop, "Listen I know that you're still angry at me and think that I'm a jerk. But, can't you at least talk to me there's something I want to talk to you about, please?"
The brunette looked at her brother with a sorrowful look, "Sure, we'll just go to my room!" she said
They went to the girl Obelisk room, normally they wouldn't allow boys, including Ra and Slifer boys, but since Yusuke was Kari's brother, he was invited in. They went to Kari's room and Yusuke closed the door.
Then, the twins sat on Kari's bed next to each other, "Look, I want to let you know that you were right, I'm a jerk and I'm sorry about happened that night. I guess I still need to work on how to choose my words right." Yusuke said, which resulted him getting a quick kiss on the cheek from his sister
Yusuke looked at Kari to see a happy expression on her face, "What was that for?" he asked
"That was for being the greatest brother a girl can have, but I wasn't angry at you for what you said to me."
Yusuke looked at his sister, with confusion, "You weren't then why did you call me a 'jerk'?"
"Well, I was angry about what happened that night."
"Which was?"
"If I tell you, then you have to promise that you wouldn't laugh."
"Okay, I promise that I won't laugh!"
Kari sighed, "Okay I had this crazy crush on Zane Truesdale!"
Yusuke's eyes widened, "Zane Truesdale, the top duelist and student in this school!"
"Yeah, I've had this crush ever since last year, when I was a first year Obelisk and I told him that I liked him a lot and…" she was breaking up in tears and her body was shaking uncontrollably, then felt a gentle touch on her back and giving it a light rub. She turned her head to meet with her twin, "What happened, Hikari?"
Kari wrapped her arms around Yusuke's shoulders, pulled him to her and buried her face in his shoulder, "He told me that he did like me, only as a friend and said that he's not looking for a girlfriend anytime soon."
After hearing those words, Yusuke realized that Zane, the top duelist and his best friend, Syrus's big brother has hurt his big sister badly. Kari was very infatuated by the blue haired third year Obelisk duelist. He couldn't help but feel sorry for Kari and didn't know if he should hate Zane or not, because he's Syrus's brother and didn't want to do anything that would jeopardize his friendship with the blue haired Slifer. Therefore, he wrapped his arms around Kari's waist, put his hand onto her back and gently stroked it. Kari kept on sniffing on her twin brother's shoulder, which was starting to aggravate the former street punk, "Just let it out, Kari." He whispered into her ear, while stroking her back. Kari let out a wail and her tears hit Yusuke's shoulder, "I'm so sorry that I took my anger out on you, Yusuke. You must really think I'm the worst big sister ever."
"No Hikari, I'm the one who's sorry, I didn't know. I might need to work on how I choose my words carefully for now on."
"How could you be so forgiving?" she cried
"Well, if it wasn't for you then I wouldn't be in this cool school and wouldn't get new friends here."
"That's easy for you to say, you've got a wonderful person while I got no one."
"That's not true, Kari, you've got me, Keiko, Ryoko, Bastian, Jaden, Syrus, Chumley, Alexis along with those screeching owls, Jasmine and Mindy. True, you may not have a boyfriend now, but you still have people, who care a lot about you."
It was true, Kari did gain something almost close to having a boyfriend, but friends that really cared about her, "Besides, you're too good for Zane anyways. You're caring, beautiful, smart, funny and brave."
Kari let out a laugh, "Now I'm glad that you're here in this school, Yusuke."
"Hey, you're my sister and I love you."
"Yeah, you're my brother and I love you, too." Kari then rested Yusuke's head onto her chest, rested her head onto his and sighed, "Yusuke…" she said smoothing Yusuke's hair, "Yeah?"
"I'm feeling a lot better, thank you."
"Oh please, I'm only doing this because you're my sister and I feel somewhat responsible that you're upset."
Kari couldn't help but smile at her brother's words, "Don't be upset, because I'm happy now because of you."
"That's because you helped me, while I'm in this school, I really appreciated it, Kar."
"Well, I had to since you were a first-year Slifer and they get the worst treatment of them all." She said, waiting for a response Yusuke, but no response. Kari looked down to her chest to see that her little brother had falling asleep on it, 'He's asleep, though come to think of it in class I saw him trying his best stay awake. Maybe he felt so guilty, that he couldn't sleep at night, poor thing.' She thought as she tried to get Yusuke's arms off her but couldn't, he them gripped tight to her, 'It looks like I'm stuck until he wakes up though come to think about it.' She yawned, 'I'm a little tired myself!' she looks down to Yusuke, 'Alright Yusuke, you can take a nap with me, baby brother.' She thought falling back taking her brother with her. Kari smiled and brushed Yusuke's hair down, 'He's so peaceful!' Kari then kissed Yusuke's temple, "Sleep tight, Yusuke don't let the bedbugs bite." She said falling asleep herself.
Hey there, Kari Urameshi, here! I'm all better thanks to my sweet little brother, who is apparently sleeping on me. On our next chapter, two new students come to Duel Academy. One of which has some issues to deal with, like afraid of girls, who come within three feet of him. Don't miss the next of The New Yusuke Urameshi!
(Japanese The Sun Will Rise Again)
When my letter reaches you, don't break the seal, just leave it alone, after some time has passed, I'm sure you will understand how I feel now.
This is my first and last request.
As gently as we could, it wasn't very hard, with one purpose, we foolishly embraced.
As twilight closes in, I shoot an arrow of courage from a distant window, toward your back, as you leave.
Although it still has not stopped raining outside, the drenched people and the city still believe in the sun.
An old melody and a blurred silhouette.
Living the easy life doesn't make for a very good picture.
