IMPORTANT: I have edited the first four chapters and made it 'Romeo and Juliet' instead of 'Snow White', so if you have time or if you want to just please read it again and send me a PM or a review in the future chapters to tell me which was better. Thanks!

A/N: And the next chapter! Please enjoy reading and leave a review… Things are really getting heated up between the two rivals (turned lovers? Who knows… You just have to read through!) XD

The More You Hate, the More You Love

The next day was back to normal. Everyone was talking about how the play was a success. Kazuki went to his locker to get his things, but once he got there he saw Juubei. He brushed past him and turned his attention to the things in his locker, but Juubei went to him.

"Hey Kazuki. Morning." Juubei greeted while slipping his arm around Kazuki's shoulder. Kazuki didn't resist and instead just kept getting stuff from his locker. Juubei removed his arm and caressed Kazuki's face.

"What's the matter? You look pale."

"Ugh. Whose fault do you think it is?" Kazuki replied icily while glaring at him.

"Huh? You're saying it's mine?"

"Who else?"

"Is it because I said I love you? Oh yeah, since you reminded me… What's your reply?"

"Nothing. For now. Remove your hand off my face and let's get going to class."

"Yeah, sure."

Once classes were over, the first person Emina looked for was Juubei. She found him talking to Kazuki, so she tapped him on the shoulder.

"Hey, Juubei. Wanna hang out again today?'

"Huh? Oh, just wait." Turning to Kazuki he asked, "So, can I come over? Please?"

"No. And that's final."

"But I need to know what your answer is!"

"Moron. Wait for two or three days, damn it! Give me time to think! Like, hello, in case you didn't notice, you just said you fucking love me."

Those words hit Emina. So he's the one he's talking about?

Hello, in case you didn't notice, you just said you fucking love me.

The words rang again and again in Emina's mind. Not taking it anymore, she ran away, not even looking where she was going.

"Hey, Juubei, your friend ran away."

"Eh? Emina?"

"Yeah. Why don't you go chase her?"

"Oh, maybe she remembered she had an errand to do. Anyway, please let me come? You don't need to tell me your answer today…"

"And why the hell do you want to come to my house?"

"Nothing. Just to hang out, yah know."

"Well, I don't want to."

"Please, Kazuki?"

Kazuki looked at Juubei's eyes and sighed. "Fine. Be there by five." Why does he always seem to win against me? No, why do I let him win against me?

"Of course!" Juubei then gave him a kiss on the cheek. "I won't miss it for anything!"

Kazuki blushed, sighed, then started to walk home, but when he got outside the school a familiar black family limo stopped right in front of him. His mom called him from the backseat.

"Kazuki! Come, I'll ride you home."

"Mom?! What are you doing here?"

"Oh, I got a vacation for a few days because your dad is going to France for a business meeting and I didn't need to come. I went shopping in the mall just down the street near your school so I came to pick you up!"

"A few days? Like, how many days?"

"Oh, one week."

"Okay…" As Kazuki got in the limo he suddenly remembered Juubei. Oh shit! He's coming over! What the hell am I supposed to do?! I know, I'll call him. I'm sure he'll understand.

When they got home, Kazuki ran up the steps and into his room and picked up the phone.

"Juubei, you can't come! My mom had vacation for one week so you can't hang around here."

"Huh?! Then why don't you just introduce me?"

"Are you serious? In case you don't remember, your family and mine are in the middle of a feud, so my mom will be furious if a Kakei ever sets foot in our house!"

"Well, I'm still gonna come. I love you and I will fight for it, so wait for me!"

"Juubei, don't be unreasonable! Juubei?! Juubei! Damn, he hanged up on me." I seriously think I should talk to Ginji… I'll do just that tomorrow.

Five o' clock came, and sure enough the doorbell rang. The guards let Juubei in, recognizing him as one of the visitors on Kazuki's 'always let in' list. Luckily, Kazuki's mom was asleep and didn't hear the doorbell, so he ran outside and dragged Juubei to his bedroom.

"Huh? Why did you drag me up all the way here to your bedroom? You're not planning on doing something naughty, are ya?" Juubei teased.

"Shut up, moron. It's not like that. It's that my mom might wake up any minute and spot you here. So be quiet and behave yourself."

"Fine. I'll do what you want for now."

"Anyway, why did you want to come here?"

"Nothing. I just wanted to see you."

"Hello, you're like, seeing me everyday in school."

"Yeah, well… Can I watch T.V.?" Juubei said while pointing to the T.V. in Kazuki's room.

"Fine. Do what you want."

Kazuki's room was huge. The walls were painted dark blue, and the floor had a blue carpet spread over it. His bed, which was a huge double bed, was in the middle of the room. It was draped with blue covers and had several big and fluffy pillows. A flat screen 32" T.V. was built into the wall in front of the bed. Under it was a blue cabinet filled with different kinds of gadgets. By his bedside is a blue lamp on a small bedside table. The wireless wall phone was on the other side of the room opposite the bed. The bathroom door was on the right side of the room. His large blue closet was opposite the bed on the left side.

"Hey, Kazuki, why do you have a double bed? And why is everything in here blue?"

"I like blue, it soothes my mood. And I don't know why my parents bought me a double bed."

"Maybe so that if you decide to have sleepovers, your guest won't have to sleep on the floor."

"Humph. Like I'll ever hold sleepovers. It's something that girls do."

"Well… would you mind if I sleep over tonight?"

"Yes. I don't want you sleeping in here; besides, I don't remember saying 'I love you' yet, so don't push your chances."

"Aww, come on." Just then, Kazuki's mother knocked on the door.

"Kazuki? Is everything alright? I hear you're talking to someone. I'm coming in."

"Ah, great. Juubei, hide under the bed!" Kazuki whispered sharply.

Before Juubei could even react, Kazuki pushed him under the bed and smiled as if nothing happened.

"I'm okay, mom. I was just watching T.V."

"Oh? And why is it turned off?"

Kazuki stared at the T.V. as if it had grown a nose. "Ah, I turned it off?"

"Very funny. What's really going on?"

"I… was talking on the phone."

"With whom?"

"A classmate."

"How are you related?"

"What? I was asking about tomorrow's homework!"

"Really? I heard everything you said, though. Now, tell me, do you have a girlfriend?" His mom asked in a really girly voice.

"What?! No, I do not!"

"Ah, come on, don't hide it from mom, I heard everything you said… So, is she chasing you? Did she wanna sleep over?"

(A/N: Juubei's voice was really soft, so she didn't hear him…)

"Mom!"

"No, Mrs. Fuuchoin, in fact I was the one who said that." Juubei suddenly emerged from under the bed.

"My, aren't you a handsome young man?" His mother remarked, not recognizing him. "Well, I think you made a mistake. My son's a guy, not a girl, however girlish he may look."

"Mom!"

"Yes, I know that perfectly well, Mrs. Fuuchoin."

"Oh? Are you gay, then?"

"If that's what you want to call me. But you see, I'm in love with your son. May I have the permission to date him?"

"Moron! Shut up! Just shut up!"

"Why, if he wants to, after all, I'm not deciding for him. Anyway, what's your name and why are you under my son's bed?"

"My name is Juubei Kakei, Mrs. Fuuchoin, and I know perfectly well you hate my family. And I was under the bed because Kazuki tried to hide me."

"Kakei?!" Turning to Kazuki she said, "I don't care if he's a Kakei, my son, if you love him."

"FOR THE LAST TIME I DO NOT KNOW IF I FUCKING LOVE HIM, SO LEAVE ME ALONE TO THINK!!!!!" Kazuki exploded. He then burst out of the room, leaving his mother and Juubei behind.

Turning to Juubei, she said, "Well, I wouldn't care if you're a Kakei, as long as my son loves you, but you have to give him time to think." She paused. "If he ever returns your love, I will allow you to date him, but under one condition."

"What is the condition, Mrs. Fuuchoin?"

"If you ever betray him or make him cry, I swear I'm going to send assassins to kill you. Did you get that?"

"Yes, of course, Mrs. Fuuchoin."

"Well, if my son wants you in here I'm going to let you sleep together, as long as you don't do anything to him against his will. But if he doesn't want you in his room, you can either go home and I'll bring you or stay in one of the guest rooms. Is that okay with you?"

"Of course, Mrs. Fuuchoin. I thank you for your kindness and understanding."

"Very well then! Oh, and if my son gives a positive reply you may be allowed to call me 'mom'."

"Really? You have been very kind. I really thank you."

"You're welcome!"

Kazuki was getting fresh air outside when a blue limo pulled up the driveway. To his horror he saw his father inside. When he got out of the car, he smiled and hugged Kazuki.

"Fa-father?! What are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be in France?"

"Oh, the meeting was cancelled when I was just about to board the plane, so I just came home. Anyway, you look more horrified to see me than ecstatic. Is there something you don't want me to see or know?

"Oh, nothing at all, father." Kazuki said while faking a smile. Oh great. Can this day get any worse?
