Chapter 4 - Siblings
Mao knocked on Katreas' door, she came to open it.
"Hey!" Mao said and walked in. "What's that smell?" She asked. They walked into a small dining area and she saw a very colorful dinner waiting for them.
"Nice." Mao muttered and sat down. "So listen, Tessa wants you to come back for a few days, see most the male crew has been very downhearted since you left. Kurz especially has been going nuts." she added.
"Alright. I'll come in with Sousuke." Katreas said and they ate the dinner.
"This is really good!" Melissa exclaimed.
"Thanks." Kat replied and ate silently.
"What's up?" Melissa asked when they finished.
"Oh, Nothing. I just have a bad feeling about the next couple of days." She replied and walked Melissa to the door.
"Hey, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm here." Mao said and walked away.
Kaname was pitching during P.E. the next day.
"Two Strikes!" The catcher called. Katreas walked up to bat.
"Where did you come from?" Kaname asked, surprised. Katreas used the bat to point o the locker room. Kaname nodded and got ready. She threw her best pitch. Katreas hit it squarely and sent it flying out of the School yard.
"Home run!" The catcher yelled and Katreas' team cheered. She walked off the field, and they switched places. Kaname was up to bat and she pictured the ball as Sousuke's head.
That IDIOT! She thought and swung at it hard. It flew away and hit something invisible and dropped to the ground as Kaname passed second base. Everyone stopped to look at it. When Kaname turned around Sousuke was standing in the middle of no where. Katreas walked up to him.
"Please don't tell me you just left your M-9 in the middle of a baseball field?!" She quietly yelled.
"Alright I won't." he replied. "Kaname, are you mad at me about last night?" He asked.
"Oh no. Not at all!" She said with great sarcasm.
"Good. because I completely forgot." Sousuke explained and walked away with his bag over his shoulder.
"Completely forgot?!" Kaname raged, she picked up the base under her and threw it with great force at Sousuke's head. It hit him and he fell to the ground. At lunch that day Sousuke walked to the table where Kyuoko, Kaname, Katreas, and a few other girls sat. He placed a small square box next to Kaname's elbow and one by Katreas' food.
"Oh, what's this for?" Katreas asked. Kaname stared at it in awe.
"I know Katreas would have helped with our study session yesterday and I'm sorry to Kaname." he answered.
"It's Beautiful!" Kaname exclaimed when she opened her box, inside lay golden star earrings and a bracelet. Kyuoko took a picture of it. Katreas opened her's next, a silver necklace with drop down moons lay inside.
"Thanks." she said sheepishly. Sousuke explained why he had them, the earrings were flash bombs, the bracelet a tracking device, and the necklace was just normal (thankfully). Kaname pulled a star off one of the earrings, setting off the flash bomb. That day after school Sousuke followed Kaname and Katreas as they walked home.
"How long are you going to follow us?" Kaname yelled over her shoulder.
"I assure you, my living quarters are also in this direction." Sousuke replied.
"I know that idiot!" She yelled.
"Are you mad about last night?" He asked.
"Yes." she said.
"You said you weren't." He muttered.
"I think she was being sarcastic." Katreas whispered, not wanting to get involved. He muttered something else indistinguishable.
"You wanna know something Sousuke?!" Kaname growled.
"What?" He asked.
"You make it really easy to hate you!" She yelled and ran away.
