BTW, little drama in ch, then going back to the funny.
"Himeka, why do I have to do this, she not all that spe-"
"KAZUNE-KUN! I'M BACK MY LOVE!"
It was an unfamiliar voice, yet it was getting to him, Kazune turned around looking at the girl and a boy, in which he was snuggling more and more with Karin, he was angry but not much of a 'threat' with what he thinks of his girly ribbon. No matter what, he couldn't hold in the laughter so it just burst out, dropping eggs that he was holding. Himeka peeked in, she was flithy with a white powder, flour? Her face became cute like it was, "Karin-chan! Your back! Aww, Kazune-kun, you dropped all the eggs!"
"I'm sorry, but I can't help but laugh at the guy with the girly ribbon..."
"Hey, Karin gave me this. She promised me to always protect me and be there for me." He snapped.
Kazune laughter ended, with a little anger, 'always', 'Karin gave, 'promised?' When he gave a look at Karin, she was blushing and smiling how he was hugging her, "karin, who are these people anyway?"
"Oh, the girl is named-"
"YOU FORGOT ABOUT ME?!"
"Um, sorry..."
"You kissed me when we were little, ring a bell?"
"..."
"I'M HANAKO! REMEMBER!?"
"...wait! You were that weird girl I gave a flower to?"
"WEIRD?!"
"But very true." Ryu said rather dryly.
"SHUT UP!"
"Kazune-kun, can Hanako-chan and Ryu-kun stay over for the night, please?
It was an awkward silence, like those in the cartoons when the background changed into a desert and a tumble weed passes by. His face looked like a normal expression, blinking at one another. Just waiting for Kazune to say an answer, it was just a yes or no answer. Or was he just in a weird state of shock, "Himeka, let me help you bake." Himeka just nodded, both of them turned heading towards the kitchen. Maybe the silence says all, Karin didn't want them to leave, maybe Ryu, because he was clinging the whole time and wouldn't let her use the bathroom, but not Hanako, even though ever few seconds she would feel her chest in pain like when she was in the hot springs with Himeka.
"Ryu, I got an idea, but can you please let go?"
"No."
"Please?"
"No."
"Oh just let poor Karin go!"
"Thank you for the support Hanako-chan."
"Stay out of this you drooling monkey."
"WHAT?!"
Hanako attacked him, clawing her sharp manicured nails in his neck, Karin was freed but couldn't help but feel pity. She opened the door, trying to stay out of the rumble between cousin and cousin. Who she thinks will win, Hanako of course, unless! Ryu plays dirty and ties her up in whatever he can find. When she closed the door, Kazune was right there, leaning on the wall half-annoyed.
"Why did you bring these people?"
"Because Hanako-chan wanted to see you, and Ryu adores me which I find rather cute."
"Cute, what. Your going to find him 'cute' then be in love with him next?"
"What are you so mad about?"
"What happened during the trip?"
At first she was going to refuse to tell him nothing, but then two things might happen, one. He'll keep asking. Or, he might get angry. But getting him angry was sometimes fun, "If you must know, I met Ryu-kun, he was going to kiss me. Did I mention he was shirtless at that time? I woke up with Jin on my bed twice, he kissed me twice. Hanako I became friends. Jin and Ryu-kun saw us while coming in the shower but we had our towels of course. And I was on a date with Ryu-kun which explains his ribbon that he treasures. Good enough? Great, I'll be on my way now."
"Where are you going?"
"Somewhere, why do you care so much Kazune-kun? It's not like your jealous of Jin or Ryu-kun."
"O-of course not!"
Ryu embraced Karin, which made her turn a shade of pink, "May we go now Karin?"
"Yup, can't you walk? You don't need to hold me the whole time..."
"But your soft!"
"Fine!"
They left with a wilting away/sulking Kazune, everything! Shower... kiss... bed... date!? Deep down in his heart, that would be something he wanted to do with Karin, and oh my gosh what is he thinking. Time for spying! Or in other words... stalking.
"Karin?"
"Hmm?"
"Why do I have the feeling we're being followed?"
"Instinct?"
"Maybe is because I'm with Karin, since your the most beautiful, cute, and perfect body girl I dated."
"But we aren't dating."
"Still, it's good hope."
"I thought you told me I reminded you of a caring mother."
"But, sometimes I think of you as my perfect girlfriend and I'm not as worthy."
Kazune was following close behind, every single word he said brought him anger, "perfect? Yeah right!"
"Karin, I have the feeling coming to me again..."
"So do I..."
"Wanna go to the park, R-y-u-kun"
"AWW! You sounded like a pure angel saying my name like that! I love you so much."
"Heh, 8th time saying that, but in a mother way, I guess."
Karin was under a sakura tree, Ryu was on her shoulder with his eyes half closed, to anyone it looked they were a couple, a very sweet looking a couple. The breeze was quite refreshing as it was nice rushing breeze to Karin hair. Everything was enjoyable, "there you are you stupid child!"
Kazune was far behind, but he can see Karin and Ryu looking at two adults, Ryu was breaking down, he looked pale, cold, and scared. "Mother...? Father...?"
"Thanks to you, we lost even more money! When we get home, you are in so much trouble!"
Ryu's mother grabbed his arm, her nails were sharp, which showed her nails were getting to his skin, "really, wearing all these stupid things as well, what with the spiked cuffs!? And that ridiculous ribbon of yours!" His father had very dark bags in his eyes, in his hand was a broken bottle, was he planning to hurt Ryu!? Whatever the case, he was crying, Ryu's eyes were closed tight, it almost looked as if he was going to die.
"LET GO OF RYU-KUN!"
The two parents turned, their faced had some sort of amusement, "this has nothing to do with you, you little brat. He's our son and we can do whatever we like."
Karin was in defeat, Ryu yes grew wide, you could even tell his eyes were saying "your leaving me!? I thought you would protect me!" Karin grabbed the broken bottle and hit the father head, she punched and kicked the mother, grabbing Ryu, running as far as they can.
Both stopped running, Kazune was still following them. They both sat in a bench, Karin sighed in relief they were safe, immediately, Ryu hugged Karin, snuggling up in her chest, "K-karin, I-I don't w-want to g-go b-back!"
Karin had a few tears dwelling up, she hugged him, stroking his head softly, "it's alright, hush. I promised you that I'll protect you, and that's exactly what I'm going to do. Ryu-kun, no matter what, I'll never hand you over to anybody or anything. Because I love you."
Kazune clenched his fist, he stomped his way out of the area, without even getting second thoughts about Karin, who might get hurt.
"I love you too, mama."
Kazune didn't notice it, when Karin said, "I love you," she meant it as if she was his son. Not in kissing or lovey stuff. To bad he never realized it.
There was a police car nearby, and just in time when Ryu's parent were coming, running though. "YOU STUPID CHILD! YOU ARE SO GOOD FOR NOTHING, IF I CAN GIVE TO ANYONE, I WOULD. BUT RIGHT NOW, YOU CAN STILL BE IN GOOD USE!"
Every stared at the mother, everyone looked at Ryu's who was clutching Karin's arm, the police officer mouth hanged, "miss, how dare you say that to your child."
"It's none of your damn business."
The police officer crouched by Ryu, "young man, do you want to go with your parents?"
He shook his head. "Do you want to stay with this young lady?" Ryu nodded this time, with a slight pink blush on his face.
"Excuse me, but, that's our son. He won't stay with her."
"Ma'am, didn't you just say you would give this boy to anyone? Well, looks like he wants to stay with this lady. If you don't care about him, you shouldn't even care about where he wants to go."
Ryu's parents kept silent, maybe they didn't want to bother arguing anymore, before they were on their way, they gave one nasty look at Ryu.
Home...
Karin's room...
Karin let Ryu sleep on his bed, because she didn't want to leave him alone tonight, one thought is that he will have a nightmare and there will be nobody will wake him up, or his parents might break in, insane as it is, she didn't feel like taking any chances. She glanced upon the calendar, only 5 more weeks until school starts, this is how it's going to be... wasting her summer... now she's going to spend two weeks with Micchi. Why couldn't it be one week? She's already having trouble, the fight with Kazune, Ryu getting killed/sold/or even being with his parents. "Micchi might understand right...? I mean, I do have many things, and even summer homework that I didn't even...s-t-a-r-t..."
She was having a quite panic attack, she looked around for her summer homework, "Nya! Karin-chan, it's night time, shouldn't you be asleep? What are you looking for?"
"Shi-chan! Have you seen my homework?"
"You placed it under your bed, didn't you?"
"Your right!"
Karin quietly searched under her bed, if she bumped her head, the movement might wake up Ryu, who knows if he gets angry when he's awake.
2:37 AM
"Finally, I got two done! All I need is math! Biology! English... history..." Her sleepiness was kicking in, she was getting frustrated on how much she needs left and how much time she lost in sleeping, if she woke up with bags, it wouldn't be surprising. Karin fell asleep on the wall, all her books and paper was scatter every where by a loud rush an noise of the wind, which didn't wake up Karin's snooze, shi-chan, but Ryu. He was freed from the sheets, he looked around it was sorta dark, but there was the light of the moon and Karin's lamp.
"Hm, she must of fell asleep right now..." He looked down, he gave a small chuckle, "doing homework this late eh? I'll help."
Ryu gathered up all of Karin books and her paperwork, "wow, this is rather much... but very easy."
4:58 AM
"Well that's about everything! She's on her own with English, I already did half of it. Boy, am I tired..."
He glanced at Karin, she was still sitting in the same spot, but was shivering, Ryu gave a small smile, he grabbed his blanket, resting on Karin's shoulder, both of them covered by the blanket, finally got some good sleep.
Mourning...
"Kazune-kun, could you please tell Ryu-kun, Karin-chan, and Hanako-chan to wake up, their breakfast might get cold."
"Why do I have to? Why not just let Karin and that guy starve?"
"Don't be mean, please go?"
"Fine."
Kazune marched upstairs, he open the door, about to say only Karin's name, but there was no sign of her. He looked, and then saw Karin and Ryu sleeping on the wall with a warm smile, anger rising once again, "KARIN! BREAKFAST!"
She jumped after such a loud scream, Ryu just yawned and was cleaning his ear, "can you scream any louder?"
"Shut it."
"Ryu-kun, I thought you were sleeping on my bed..."
"I woke up at night and saw you shiver."
"Anytime now..."
"Just have patience Kazune-kun, someone sure is mad tod-"
Slam.
"What is he so mad about? Geez..."
"Ryu-kun, did you do my homework?"
"Yeah."
Karin felt great, she only had to finish half of her English and their will be no more homework! "THANK YOU!" She tackled Ryu for a hug, this is a first. Ryu laughed and hugged her back, "But I feel bad for making you do all this for me."
"Nah, it's alright. I just sorry that you were worrying about me and also I do owe you from protecting me from my parents. Now come on, let's go eat."
Noon...
Karin was taking a last walk with Ryu since he imformed her that Hanako and him are going to stay at a hotle, but it was a little far, Ryu stayed quite after that because usually he would be hugging her or saying something stupid. Anyone could tell he didn't want to go, he already did think of Karin as a mother and has already gotten quite attached, "Ryu-kun, please say something..."
"Karin, I want to stay with you." Even though he thought of her as a mother, he did call her by her first name instead.
"I'll try to convince Kazune-kun, I don't get why-"
"Hanazono-san!"
"Oh please don't be him!" Karin was about to collapse since Micchi came out of nowhere and jumped on her back for another attempt to hug her or whatever he might do.
"Nice to see you Micchi!" "Not..."
"Your going to stay with me tomorrow for now! Well, for a week. Ami-chan ask me to go visit her."
(SPOLIER: For those who read the manga, even though Micchi lives wih Karin and the others, I didn't want to include that in the fic, to much work! But if you did read the manga but forgot who she is, it's that weird girl who kept saying "immoral" and that stuff, also who saw Karin and Kaune kiss and then Kazune fainted or something because his gum was cut, I guess.)
"Just for a week?"
"Sadly yes, by the way. Who's he?"
"Oh, Micchi, this is Ryu-kun."
"Nice to meet you!"
"Yeah... likewise... anytime your going to get off of Karin?"
Looks like Ryu dislikes Micchi and Kazune.
Well, I'm sorry for holding this off, but here it is!
