So you Say...

Janessa was not impressed. She was not impressed at all. Her eyes were glaring at the thing that Ruka was presenting to her, the red eye actually twitching. The blonde gulped nervously as the young teen gave of unhealthy amounts of killer intent.

"Umm, Janessa?"

"Is that a pink frilly dress?"

The question was a loaded one. And Takuma couldn't help but wince as he heard exactly what Ruka was showing his sister. It brought back painful memories of when he was told to dress his sister in the new dresses his mother had bought that day for the parties they frequently attended. If Ruka was going to risk her life, then he was not going to help her.

He could only hope that Ruka was alive afterwards...

"Your sister is odd."

Takuma snorted at the comment his room mate made.

"Like you're one to talk."

Shiki just shrugged, causing Takuma to smile at him. At that moment, Rima walked in, a scowl gracing her features.

"What is it Rima?"

"She's so pretty..."

That worried Rima. Something was hauntingly beautiful about Janessa Ichigo that made her fear the teenager greatly. She was one of those vampires you knew not to mess with. It made Rima wonder why Ruka had stayed in the room after that scowl had appeared on Janessa's face...

Speak of the devil and she shall appear. Janessa walked in, wearing a dress, which surprised Takuma. But rather than being pink and frilly, it was a sleek black dress, which had slit at her right thigh and hugged to her slim body, and was made to look even longer by the strappy heels on her small feet. Her black hair had been curled, shining in the dull light, with a diamond encrusted comb pushing most of it to one side and out of her face.

It had been their grandmother's comb, but Takuma never expected her to wear it when he gave it too her. He gave his sister a bright grin, and was even more surprised when she gave him a light smile back.

"Good evening Taki."

Takuma's grin turned into a scowl for a couple of seconds before his smile returned.

"You do remember what I used to when you called me that right?"

"I'm not five anymore Taki. I can easily fight you off."

"Oh really?"

Takuma made a quick move, but surprised Janessa when he didn't tickle her. Instead he held her in a tight hug in a way which made Janessa think that he didn't believe she was here, back with him and the rest of the family.

"T-Taki?"

She felt the tears falling into her hair. She felt the hug tightening by every second. She smiled, wrapping her arms around her brother's back.

"Takuma Ichigo are you crying? Honestly, what would mother say?"

She giggled as her brother let out a watery laugh. The blond pulled away from his sister's hair, the siblings looking each other in the face. Janessa pulled out the handkerchief from Takuma's pocket and wiped his tears away, causing the boy to laugh again.

"I've missed you sister."

Janessa just smirked.

"So yo say..."


On a role! XD
