A/N: And here is the next chapter! I just thought it would be weird if Kazuki introduced Juubei to his parents but Juubei wouldn't, so I created this filler chap. It's still set during vacation…
The More You Hate, the More You Love
"WHAAAT?! NO WAY!" Kazuki screamed at Juubei while backing off. Juubei went nearer and nearer, while Kazuki continued to back off.
"But Kazuki, why? Why don't you want to?" Juubei asked while continuing to advance towards Kazuki.
"No way in hell am I going to do it! NO WAAAYYYY!" Kazuki shrugged his head vigorously while still continuing to back off. When he reached the end of the wall, he looked nervously at Juubei, who was nearing him. When he reached him, he put both of his hands on the wall on both sides of Kazuki as if to say, 'I've got you'.
"But whyyyy?!" Juubei asked while looking down at him through half-lidded eyes.
"Because I don't want to!!!" Kazuki shouted desperately.
"But your mom…"
"My mom's weird! We aren't even sure if they will accept me! On top of me being a Fuuchoin, I'm a guy too, for pity's sake! YOU CAN'T JUST GO TO YOUR PARENTS AND INTRODUCE MEEEE!!!!"
Juubei gathered Kazuki in his arms in a tight, romantic hug and declared seriously, "I don't care. I love you and I will fight for it. I think I remember saying it once before."
Kazuki pulled away, obviously shocked. "Juubei, you can't do that! You can't choose me over your parents!"
Juubei grabbed Kazuki's hand and pulled him out of the house. "Watch me."
"You mean that Juubei guy made you cry? Where does he live? I'm gonna kill him!" Emina's mom declared hotly after she related the whole story to her.
"Mom, stop it! What I want you to do is to help me get him away from Kazuki."
"You mean, Kazuki Fuuchoin? The guy I invited to the ball? Juubei's in love with that… pretty boy?"
"Yeah, him."
"Why are you after a gay guy?"
"Mom, he is not gay! I think that he just liked Kazuki coz he thought he was a girl and when he found out he was a guy he just accepted it or something… Anyway, let's stop making assumptions here. I want you to help me get Juubei for myself!"
"Okay, then. I shall call them now."
"What do you mean? Call who?"
"Juubei's parents, of course."
"But why? Why do you need to call his parents?"
"Why, to get you engaged, of course! You said you want Juubei to be yours, right? So if I tell them that their son is dating a guy, then they'll surely disagree and agree on engaging you with their son. Then, I want you to be on your best behavior so that they'll surely agree. Got it?"
"Oh! You're the best mom in the world!" Emina then kissed her mom and went up to her room. Emina's mom then called Juubei's parents.
"Hello, Kakei-san? Yes, can you come over? This is Emina's mom. Okay, thanks." She then put down the telephone and smiled at her daughter's closed door. This is for you, Emina darling… It's to ensure your future with Juubei-kun…
Kazuki's house was racing and his faced was flushed. Oh my god. This is it. What will I do if they don't accept me? Oh no! The gate of Juubei's house then opened and they went in.
"Hey, Mouri-san, is mom and dad in?" Juubei asked the guard in charge.
"Not yet, Juubei-sama. They were in, but they had to go meet someone."
"Oh, okay. We'll just wait inside. Oh, by the way, this is my boyfriend Kazuki."
The guard blushed. "Uhh, nice to meet you, Kazuki-sama."
Kazuki smiled sheepishly and shook the guard's hand. "N-nice to meet you too." They then went inside to wait for Kazuki's parents.
"…So, it's settled, then? Thanks!" Emina's mom shook hands with Juubei's parents.
"No problem. But would you mind if we saw our future daughter-in-law?"
"Of course not! She's upstairs, though. Emina!"
Emina then poked her head out of her room. "What is it, mom?"
"Juubei's parents want to see you."
Emina then gracefully went out of her room and down the stairs. When she reached the bottom of the flight of stairs, she did a polite curtsy in front of Juubei's parents. "Nice to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Kakei."
Juubei's mom held her by the shoulder and declared "It's actually mom, Emina. You and Juubei are engaged."
"What?! Really?! Oh, thank you, mom!" Emina then hugged Juubei's mom then her mom.
"Well, if you don't mind, we should be going now, sweetie. We still have to tell this to our beloved Juubei… and hopefully get him away from that wretched Fuuchoin gay guy." Juubei's dad said. He and his wife then exited the grand mansion and went home.
"They're taking terribly long." Juubei commented. Kazuki was beginning to get fidgety as well. At last, a car pulled up the driveway, which made Kazuki jerk in his seat.
"Don't worry, Kazuki." Juubei comforted Kazuki while holding his hand. "They'll have to accept you, or they'll accept losing me." Just then, Juubei's parents entered the room.
"Juubei honey, we're home!" Juubei's mom called out. Juubei stood up from the couch and kissed his parents on the cheek.
"Hi mom, dad, welcome home. Oh, and I have someone to introduce to you." Without realizing it, Kazuki stood up from the couch and faced them.
"U-ummm, hello, Mr. and Mrs. Kakei." Kazuki said timidly in a small voice. Since Juubei's parents had no idea what Kazuki looks like, they smiled.
"Why, hello there, young lady. Are you Juubei's friend? What's your name?"
"Uh, umm… I'm a boy, madam."
"Yeah, mom, and his name's Kazuki Fuuchoin. He's the one I love."
Juubei's parents could hardly believe their ears. Juubei's mom fainted, while Juubei's dad roared, "WHAT IS THE MEANING OF THIS, YOUNG MAN?!"
"What, dad? He's my boyfriend. Is there something wrong with that? You said you'll support me in whoever I choose to love. Well, here he is."
"What do you mean, the one you love? He's a boy! And a Fuuchoin, at that!"
"But dad, I love him! And you can't stop me!"
"I say no way. Go to your room." He turned to Kazuki. "And you, get out."
Kazuki just stood motionless because of shock. Juubei's dad roared in anger, "I SAID, GET OUT!!!" Kazuki then scrambled out the door with tears in his eyes.
Juubei started to run after him, but his dad grabbed him by the arm. "You're not going anywhere except your room."
Juubei pried his dad's hand away from his arm and boldly declared, "If you had been a little more kind in your rejection, I would have chosen you over him, dad. I'm sorry, but I love him too much just to let him go because you said so." He then ran after Kazuki, leaving his shocked dad behind.
"I'm sorry Juubei-sama, but Kazuki-sama told us not to let you in." The guard at the gate stopped Juubei. He pushed him away and ran towards the house.
"Kazuki! Kazuki! Let me in! I'm gonna make a scandal if you don't!"
Kazuki then opened his window and shouted back, "I can't! I don't want you to choose your parents over me!"
Kazuki's mom heard the shouts from her room and decided to investigate. When she saw the two lovers shouting at each other from the window, she went to Kazuki's room. "What's going on here?"
Kazuki jumped in surprise when he heard his mom come in. "Oh! Nothing, mom."
"You wouldn't be shouting at each other like that if there isn't anything going on." She then went to the window and shouted at Juubei, "What's going on?"
"Kazuki wouldn't let me in, mom. He's upset that my parents did not like him!"
"What?! Come in and tell me the whole story." Juubei was then let in, much to Kazuki's dismay. "You're coming with me downstairs too, young man… or woman. Whatever."
"Mom!"
When they were downstairs Kazuki's mom started the conversation. "So, what is this you were saying that your parents did not like Kazuki?"
"Well, it's kinda complicated, mom, but I brought him to the house to introduce him. Then my parents got all upset and now he's fussing over on why I chose him instead of my parents. And that's the story."
Turning to Kazuki, she said, "Oh, Kazuki! Look at what my future son-in-law did for you! You should be thankful! He loves you sooo much that he's even willing to give up his family! I'd say you two reconcile right now."
Kazuki reluctantly walked up to Juubei and looked at his feet. "I-I'm sorry, Juubei. I shouldn't have shouted at you like that. I didn't realize what I did was wrong…" Kazuki meekly apologized.
"It's okay…"
"Oh, you two are totally unromantic… At least say 'I love you' and kiss!"
Kazuki and Juubei did what she said and kissed each other. "I love you." They both said at once while looking at each other.
"That's the spirit! Keep fighting for your love, and remember that I'll always support you!!!"
"Thanks, mom." They said in unison.
"Where did Juubei go?" Juubei's mom asked. She just came to after thirty minutes.
"He's gone. He chased after that Fuuchoin guy."
"Damn those Fuuchoins… I always knew they spelt trouble."
"Spell trouble!" The game host asked twenty-six year old Kakei.
"F-U-U-C-H-O-I-N! Trouble!"
"Eeeeeng, wrong!"
"No, it wasn't because of that. It was because Juubei loved that Fuuchoin more than anything."
"Eh? Why are you saying this all of a sudden?"
"The look in his eyes as he said the words, 'If you had been a little more kind in your rejection, I would have chosen you over him, dad. I'm sorry, but I love him too much just to let him go because you said so' said it all. I think we have to let him go."
"I say no! He's a Fuuchoin and he can never be accepted into the family! Besides, he's already engaged to Emina."
"Oh, right. But how do we stop him?"
"We have to get him back."
"I'm going over there right now." Juubei's dad then marched out of the room and got into the car to go to the Fuuchoin's house.
