There was a huge issue to be found with living in a relatively small town. And that was space.
Whether you're talking about the lack of space for new development, or just personal space from the people you don't particularly like in town, it's all the same.
Space is a problem.
"We've only got one cell, and there's already three people in it."
As Yuya was about to discover.
"Kyo! Back so soon? We only got rid of you last week." Kyo's attending officer at the custody desk called out when the two of them entered. "Shihoudou." Kyo greeted with a grin, pleased to see her as much as she was.
"What was it this time?"
"Reckless driving and attempting to fight with an officer of the law." Yuya wanted to groan at how gleeful that come out. Kyo was an idiot. Shihoudou laughed loudly and began going through the formalities.
At least someone was having fun.
Yuya, on the other hand, was mortified as she looked up at her old senior schoolmate and smile sheepishly. "Hi Shinrei." It was barely a whisper.
"Miss Shiina, please hand over all your personal effects." His polite professionalism making her even more uncomfortable.
For years she had looked up to Shinrei. He's was the student president for two years, head prefect before that. Top in all his studies, and graduated a year before her with the highest exam results that the school had ever achieved. How could she not aspire to that?
Not to mention that he was so humble that he had decided to go straight into the police academy, choosing to work from the bottom up rather than let his father place him in a better possition. Now he looked down to the girl who he tutored history to typing out her details from her ID card to their compute system. He probably didn't even need to read half of what was on it.
The mortification she felt, while only one desk down Kyo was making drinking plans for once he got out with Shihoudou and some old friends of his whose names Yuya did not recognise. Kyo had somehow managed to graduate school four years ago, despite all the absences and suspensions, so it was expected that she wouldn't know the names of his friends.
"Occupation?" Shinrei asked and Yuya was pulled out of her Kyo occupied daze.
"Sorry?"
"Occupation?"
"Oh… self-defence teacher." Which was only her temporary job till she found what she really wanted to be working as. Shinrei rose a brow but did not comment.
Nervousness was beginning to stir itself up again, especially with how serious Shinrei was taking this. Yuya really wished that she had got Shihoudou, although she didn't know the woman personally, she appeared more relaxed than Shinrei. Kyo was having a too easy time at this getting arrested business.
Yuya figured that he was used to it by now.
Shinrei appeared to have finished doing his job before he looked down at her critically. "How did you manage to get arrested with my cousin?" He asked her, the seriousness in his tone not different than from how he would normally talk to her, but the topic bringing about a whole new level of humiliation.
She laughed nervously as her neck and cheeks became alive with heat. "It's a long story."
Something that she had forgotten, Mibu Kyo. Kyo was part of the largest family in the area. They populated about half the town, and owned just about all of it. Everything from the hospitals and schools to the trees! To know that now the Mibu Clan would know about her arrest was devastating, so it was likely that by the end of today half the town would have heard about her arrest.
Fine.
Yuya could handle that. She was a big girl. Now all that mattered was that her brother never heard of it. And if he heard it from someone else, she could just brush it all away as rumours.
Yuya sighed out.
Her optimisms sounded bleak even to her.
Either Shinrei's interest was not enough, or he respected her privacy enough to not pushed further. Instead called over for another police officer who took hold of Yuya and motioned for Kyo to follow along too. "You both are going into cell one."
Yuya glanced over at Kyo a little nervously. "Aren't there separate cells?" She tried to ask as quietly as possible without Kyo hearing, but the officer did not seem to care for her secrecy and loudly replied. "We've only got one cells, and there's three people in it."
"Are you kidding me?" Yuya whined. "Why aren't there more?"
"Sorry missy, but there was a leak in some pipes and the five other cells all flooded this afternoon. We've call in for a repairman but it's the weekend now and no one's working anytime soon."
Yuya groaned aloud while had yet to stop finding the entire situation hilarious.
"Don't worry Dogface. If you get scared, you can just come to me." The intentional leer angered her, more even though she knew he was winding her up further.
Yuya had known Kyo too long, and it was driving her near insane.
They came to the cell and the office drew out a large key ring with multiple keys and began sorting through them, finding the right one. As he did Yuya glanced in to check out who her cell mates would be.
Through the bars she could spy three two and a woman.
That there was a woman sent sparks of relief through Yuya. Surely female bonding was possible?
The two men on the other hand… Yuya supressed a shiver.
One of them looked lean, with a haphazardly arranged mop of blonde hair … while the other…
Yuya didn't think she had ever seen someone so big in her life!
He was as tall as he was broad. Shirtless, she could see that his body exuded a monstrous strength. Yuya supressed a shiver at his stature. The eye patch only added to his frightening presence.
Lifting her chin, Yuya did not let their intimidating appearances put her down.
She prided herself on her abilities to defend herself should the need arise. What kind of role model would she be to her students now if she couldn't properly utilise the skills that she passed onto them for her own defence? Not that she feared it would come to that.
At least she hoped it didn't.
Yuya moved back a little to let Kyo enter first.
Having seen her momentary nervous look, he stepped aside with an arm out. "Dogfaces first."
Yuya sneered at him. "What? Now you develop chivalry?"
"Both of you get it." The officer grumbled.
Seeing that Kyo was not about to budge, Yuya shuffled in, before pressing herself up against the bars and letting Kyo follow, so that she could once again be behind him.
She wasn't scared. Nope.
Not. At. All.
The cell contained four beds, two pushed up against each wall. Which was unfortunate, seeing as there where now five of them.
You see this space problem?
Kyo looked between the blondes that occupied the right side, and the stunning fuchsia haired woman to their left. The woman on seeing Kyo jumped into the air and rushed over to him with a squeal of delight. "Kyo!" Yuya could almost see the hearts floating around her as she flung her arms around the tall man. The woman quickly rattled off about how it was fated that they should reunite here, and how it had been so long.
Kyo moved to occupy the remaining bed not having spoken a word to the woman, flunking onto it with his back against the wall and one leg propped up onto the bed. Looking at her he patted the part of the bed besides him with a grin. The spot was quickly occupied by the woman that send a dark look at Yuya.
Looking away instantly seeing that maybe female bonding wouldn't be the case, Yuya shuffled over to the recently vacated bed and sat down on that one.
She wouldn't have sat down next that perverted ass. Yuya knew from experience of the wondering nature of Kyo's hands. Since she was sixteen she had to occasionally punch off the man when he would show up behind her and run his hand all the way up her thighs inside her skirt to squeeze at her rear. Or the times when she would suddenly find his hands underneath her bra.
Reason number one why she learnt self-defence. Kyo now had to think twice now before he did that again, something he had learnt first-hand.
Also the principle reason why her brother despised the man. Something that Yuya couldn't entirely agree with. Kyo was perverted, but he did have better qualities.
Glancing over to the woman who was still cosying up to Kyo, Yuya shook her head and decided that no. He was just a pervert.
In a way Yuya felt bad for Muramasa, having to deal with Kyo growing up. She could only imagine the kind of hellion he was.
"Yuya Shiina! Your phone call."
With a start Yuya jumped out of seat lightly. Looking at the office that had just spoken to her, she blanked for a moment. Which happened to be a moment longer than the office was happy waiting for. "Shiina. Make your phone call." His words thin on patience.
"Oh!" Looking around as all the cell mates that where now curiously focusing their attention on her. "You know, I'm okay. I don't need to make a phone call." Nodding continuously, just about convincing herself that this was the right choice.
Near her, Kyo grumbled. "Yuya, call your brother and get out of here. You're not going to want to spend the night here."
"I don't want to." She hissed back, this was all his fault he was not the person she wanted to start giving her advice. "He's busy and it's late."
The officer, not caring about her choice, shrugged it off before walking away.
"Shiina." The glamorous looking woman who had been sending her dark looks since she arrived was the one to speak up. "You wouldn't happen to be related to Dr Nozomu Shiina, would you?"
Yuya perked up at the sound of her brother's name. "Yes. He's my brother."
At that the woman raised a brow and leaned back. "Brother?" Looking very unconvinced as her eyes darted between her green eyes and blonde hair.
The sceptical tone made Yuya's mood drop and she refused to give the woman an answer. "And you?"
"Akari. I work with your brother."
"You're Dr Akari?" Exclaiming, Yuya near jumped off her seat in excitement. "Brother has told me so much about you. He said that your one of the leading researchers at the hospital, and that you are amazing in the A&E room."
A blush dusted the glamorous woman's cheeks which she covered with the back of her hand. "Well, I may have heard something along those lines before." Not modest in the slightest, it would seem.
Then confusion hit Yuya as she continued to think about something else her brother had told her. "But…" Still not entirely sure she was remembering it correctly, but now that she had seen Dr Akari, of course it may have just been she heard wrong. She gave a little laugh to which Akari looked curious at.
"What's so funny."
"It's nothing really. I must obviously be remembering something wrong." Yuya brushed it out of her mind and ignored it. Akari shrugged it off and didn't say much more on the matter, while Yuya's innocent curiosity remained. "Akari, if you don't mind me asking, why are you here?"
How could a doctor that worked with her respectable brother be in a jail cell on a Friday night?
Akari looked over her with sultry eyes, a tint of a smile gracing her beautiful face. "It's a bit of a rule here in the slammer. You don't ask what people are in for… you may not like the answer."
Yuya unconsciously shifted to the bottom of the bed, closer to Kyo.
Her eyes wondered over the enormous man in the cell, who was dead to the wold, snoring while drool leaked from his mouth. Yuya figured that he would need to use a whole bar of soap to shower, he was that big. What was he in here for?
Yuya could always pick out the telling signs of an experience fighter, it was one of the first thing she taught her girls, when not to fight. This man, he fought with his monstrous strength. Likely clobbering his opponents to a pulp. Yuya wouldn't pick a fight with this man, even to take her own life.
That said, she wouldn't willingly choose to fight Kyo either.
The previous officer returned moments later, opening the cell door loudly, and calling. "Kyo Mibu! Phone call."
Yuya looked wildly between the officer and Kyo who hesitated a fraction of a second before he rose to his feet and began towards the exit.
"Kyo," she hissed in mild panic lunging forward to grab hold of his arm as he passed her, "don't you dare leave me in this cell with these people."
On realising how desperate that sounded, Yuya's grip loosened and she shifted back, now desperately trying to forget that she had ever said that.
A delighted look overcame Kyo, as he turned from Yuya to the officer briefly, before his focus went back to the room. It lasted for only a moment before he turned back to her. "Don't worry dogface. Anyone here that lays a hand on you will lose that hand." Dark red eyes ripe with unnatural glee.
I did not just swoon, Yuya firmly told herself as she sat in the same place with her arms crossed and her back stiff. I would not swoon that that!
Still grinning, Kyo turned back to the officer. "I'll save my phone call till later." Then turned away, ignoring the officer's confused look, then flunked down onto the bed next to Yuya.
"What are you doing?" Yuya asked stiffly.
"Making sure you don't get lonely." He murmured from besides her, a heated glance from the corner of his eyes was enough to send a shiver down her spine. And it most definitely was not from fear.
"Kyo!" Akari cooed from the other bed. "Come over here. I'm lonely! Leave that excuse for a woman and come to a real one."
Kyo snorted, saying nothing while Yuya gaped at what Akari had just said. Yuya just couldn't understand what was her problem all of the sudden.
Without a word, Yuya looked away and ignored him as best she could and continued to do so for the next three hours. At some point Yuya was startled awake, not even realising that she had been so tired, to find that her head was rested in Kyo's lap. In an instant, Yuya shot up with a slight gasp, her face enflamed as she wildly looked around to see who had noticed. Well, other than Akari's dark glares and Kyo's clear amusement, no one important.
Kyo was saying something cocky no doubt, while Yuya checked the time. It was passed midnight, she had now been in the slammer for over five hours. Her head was throbbing from having been woken after too little sleep, and her eyes felt heavy. What she wouldn't give to be under her soft red bed sheets, with a hot water bottle, sleeping till the morning.
Yuya was never letting herself get in this situation again. Not for anything.
A clank of keys in the door, and a groan of metal on metal as the cell door was opened. Yuya winced at the painful sound and looked up along with Kyo and Akari at what was happening.
"Akari. You've post bail. You're out." Akari was up on her feet in a moment, anticipation shining in her eyes at finally getting out. Spinning around, she pranced over to Kyo and Yuya's spot. "About time." Akari huffed as she stood up, stretching her long spine as she did before swaying over to them.
"Bye, darling cutie." She purred to Kyo, pushing her chest up against Kyo's side and smiling with sultry eyes. "Really wish that I could stay here in the cell longer if only to get to have you all in cuffs." Yuya tried not to gag, but the prickles of envy could be hinted in her eyes.
Akari turned Yuya with a dark look. "Get any closer to him… and I will cut you." Yuya shudder and nodded her head mutely. "Well, I'll be seeing your brother now. Does he know you're in here?" A smirk formed itself on her face as she suddenly realised the possible leverage on the blonde.
Yuya went ridged, eyes wide and mouth hanging open. "Wha-"
"Yeah, he's covering my shift right now at A&E. So I'll be off to relieve him. Poor sucker, always lets himself get persuaded to taking others shifts. Too caring if you ask me." She commented with a flick of her hair.
"You can't!" Yuya shouted, standing up.
Akari looked taken aback, before her look went cunning, "Oh…"
Panicking, Yuya looked for any bargain or heart felt words that she could tell Akari not to go relieve her brother from work. If he came home this late to find that Yuya was not home…
Yuya shuddered.
Her brother could express anger when it was needed.
In the background she vaguely heard Akari snapping back at her, but it washed straight over Yuya. To keep Akari in jail for another few hours till Yuya was released… something drastic needed to be done.
Swallowing thickly at a thought that popped into her head. A terrible idea, the worst idea that she had ever had. It would be humiliating and he would never let her live it down, but it was necessary. And she would do all she had to keep her brother from finding out.
"Too bad that your leaving." Yuya commented, interrupting the woman's ranting and causing Akari to pause in irritated confusion. "You'll get to miss all this-" Yuya turned her head before slipping her hand into Kyo's hair and tugging him down for a hard kiss on the lips. To her right she heard Akari give an ear pitching screech and Yuya made to end the kiss, but Kyo was having none of that.
"You little bitch!" Akari howled as she lunged at Yuya. The accompanying police officer lunged to hold her back. None of which Yuya was even aware of as Kyo slipped a hand under her rear and gave it a tight squeeze that had her yelping into his mouth.
Kyo took full advantage of that and plundered her mouth with his tongue deepening the kiss.
At this point Yuya was smacking her hands on Kyo's shoulder, swearing that she could feel him grin against the kiss that he had taken full control over.
Yuya did not moan when Kyo's hand, that was not latched onto her rear, glided over Yuya's toned stomach, but something akin to one might have escaped her when he full on cupped a breast.
Fury lit her eyes, and her pounding to get him off her intensified.
"Pull those two off of each other." An officer screamed at another, as he struggled to restrain Akari from full out tackling Yuya. "And you calm down!"
A moment later and Yuya was cuffed to the bars of one bed, while Kyo was cuffed to the other. While she did begin to point out that this likely violated a number of international imprisonment laws, she was quickly shushed when officers loud voice pierced through her skull.
"You!" The officer started with Akari. "Can stay here until the morning when you've calmed down."
"Don't tell me to calm down. I'll skin your balls right out of their ball sack and serve them to you!"
"Do not threaten me!"
Yuya shrunk at the officers tone, while Akari only raged against it. The doctor really wasn't helping herself here, and Yuya cringed sympathetically.
"You two!" Ignoring Akari completely at this point, and focusing on Kyo and Yuya. "Keep your hands off each other. This is a jail cell, not a friking brothel."
"Hey!" Yuya protested at that he was suggesting there.
"Unlike you officer, I don't have to pay for sex" Kyo sweet tone was infuriating to both Yuya, who was glaring daggers at him, and the officer.
"Shut up! I don't want to hear another thing from this cell for the rest of the night."
The officer paused, glancing over at the quiet blonde in the corner. "What the…"
Stomping over, he demanded to the smaller blonde. "Why are you still here?"
Hotaru glanced up, his face a devoid of… well anything. Then look back to the ground, making as if to go back to sleep.
"I asked… what are you doing here? Your brother paid your bail six hours ago." The officer was losing patience.
Hotaru shrugged, and crossed his legs and looked over to the slowly awaking giant. "Bontenmaru was here… figured I could crash."
"This is not a hotel!" The officer snarled. "Now get the hell out of here." Grabbing hold of the boy shoulder. He complied with the officer easy enough, but didn't look happy about it.
"Oi, oi! Hotaru! Bail me out won't you!" The large man called after him as Hotaru was leaving. Suddenly coming alive.
He stopped, much to the annoyance of the officer turned around. With a face, still devoid of anything, responded. "No." Then continued his way back out.
"You asshole!" He jumped to his feet with his fists in the air. "I got you out last time! You owe me at least that!" But it all fell on deaf ears as the man Hotaru was led away.
Bontenmaru sank down, and Yuya shifted backwards. The old springs on the bed shrieked at the movement, and Yuya froze a little at the attention that might have brought her. Looking up, she noticed the giant of a man looking at her. "Hu… when did this girl show up?" And looked around at Akai. "Look! An actual woman, take note."
"If you want me to tell everyone about three weeks ago when you show-"
"Shut up! I didn't say anything! Don't talk!" Bon cried as he moved with lightning speed to cover Akari's mouth, before harshly hissing down at her too quietly for her to hear. "You'll give me a bad rep. What will the town think of me."
"Exactly what they should be." Akari responded dryly.
Bontermaru didn't seem to take offence to this and laughed again, before turning back to Yuya. "Either way, still not a bad little one are you. Ah, yes and your all chained up. Makes this very exciting." His hands where rubbing together and a devious look had lit up his eyes.
Yuya shifted back a little further towards the wall, bringing her legs up to her chest as a barrier. With hard eyes she stared down at the man, to which he only laughed the look in her eyes.
He was close enough to touched her when Yuya was on the verge and calling out to that man.
"Bon. Enough." Kyo warned.
The man called Bon laughed loudly and Yuya's head looked wildly between the two men who looked to be locked in a friendly stare.
When Bontemaru chuffed a little more and resigned himself back to his space, he has down, bed springs audibly stretching to their max. "Oh hey man, didn't realise you had a thing for a the little blondie. How you been doing? It's been like four months."
"You know him!" Yuya concluded loudly, seeing them all now conversing and laughing as old friend. "When where you going to tell me?"
"When it got old." Kyo snorted.
With a groan, Yuya let her head fall backwards against the cell wall. She was too tired for all this shit.
A few hours later and the cell was filled with the sound of snoring. Surprisingly the loudest of them all wasn't even Bon, but Akair. Yuya watch on in slight awe at how loud she managed to make her snored. And the way she slept… scratching her armpit… somewhat masculine…
Yuya shrugged the thought off.
There was no way that she was going to get to sleep at this rate.
Looking down at the end of her bed, where Kyo was handcuffed to the railings, she shifted around so that her foot nudged him. "Kyo." She whispered, wanting to know if he was a wake. Not response, so she made to nudge him again. "Ky-" he caught her food, startling her a little.
"What?" He didn't sound happy at likely being woken up.
"Where you sleeping?" Kyo gave her a dark look at that, and Yuya flustered a little. "Well… obviously not right now, but I didn't wak-" the look got worse and she fluttered around the point even more, "not the point any more I see… but I was just going to say, and I know you might not-"
"Get on with it Yuya." He had stopped glaring at her, and looked away.
It took a moment before she could admit it. "I just wanted to apologise."
At that Kyo released the foot he still had captive, Yuya hadn't even notices. She didnt move it.
"I'm sorry. I didn't think that it would be this severe. I shouldn't have called the police just to spite you for what happened to my bike. That was really low of me. Your still an idiot for all the other trouble you get yourself into, and that ain't my fault in the slightest. Although you really should have been pulled over for your stupid stunt." The last part she huffed out, but the soft smile on her face was hard to conceal. Yuya didn't raise a question when Kyo took hold of her ankle and began gently tracing circles around it.
"I don't take it personally. But just so you know… you're in my debt now Dogface."
"No way." Yuya steamed. "For me to ever be in your debt, you'd have to save my life five times over or something drastic like that."
He hummed as he thought that one over, his hand now running up and down her leg. Calloused hand gliding gently over her exposed skin, "Wouldn't take much."
"Shut up." Yuya grumbled, secretly smiling as she rested her head against the wall and looked down to Kyo as he did the same. "I suppose now where in this shit together." A sad reality, but Yuya really couldn't bring it in herself to care any more.
Kyo's hands paused. "Well…"
"So you see," Yuya began smiling sweetly at the officer who sat opposite them, "Kyo and I had a little argument before and I went to the shops to pick up some stuff for my brothers birthday, which is today by the way. I took my bike. I didn't realise that Kyo had headed over to the supermarket to give me lift, not wanting me to cycle the whole seven kilometres to my house despite the fact that we had argued."
"She may look tough, but she is as delicate as stinging nettle."
"I think you meant a flower." Yuya hissed up at him.
"No… I meant stinging nettles." Kyo mumbled in return. "I got to the market and saw that her bike and been trashed and suspected the worst, so I raced to go find her, especially if she was walking all alone while it was getting late. I simply was in such a state of panic that I was not thinking."
Yuya wanted to smack him for the lackluster response he gave her. Kyo might as well have been taking about the stock market for all the emotion that was in his words. "Yes, so we are terribly sorry for the whole misunderstanding." Yuya desperately trying to take the emotional aspect of their story. "No one was harmed, and he would have stopped if he had seen me."
The officer looked only mildly convinced, but nodded slowly.
"You kids are young… so I'll let you off this time with a warning. Do it again, and I will have you pulled in front of a judge."
Yuya sniffed in relief. "Thank you so much sir. We are incredibly sorry for all the problems our bickering caused."
"Yeah yeah." He mumbled dismissively with a wave of his hand, before putting away the files and standing. "You guys are free to go. The officer outside will take you to get your personal effects back." With that he rushed them off and Kyo looked at the clock on the wall before saying that he wanted to make his phone call now. The officer game him an odd look, but stated it would be fine as long as he made it quick. They weren't providing a free call centre.
Twenty or so minutes later they stood outside the police barracks, it was sometime after seven in the morning. Yuya looked to the man besides her and stated. "That was easier than I thought."
Kyo shrugged. "They don't like to create fuss."
"You were driving dangerously." Yuya reminded him sternly. He laughed, brushing off her concern without so much of a look. "So what now then?" She huffed.
"Now to the impound to get my car."
"It won't be open at this time." As if only realising that it was a Saturday and nothing opened till at least after eleven, Kyo's mood seemed to sink a little. "We can go to that twenty four seven café two blocks away." Yuya offered. Not wanting him to have to wait alone, nor wanting to think about how she would get home.
"Sounds like a date."
Her face sunk, while her chest was fluttering. "No, it's not." She huffed, as they started the ten block hike to the café.
"Sure it is, Dogface."
"Waiting to get your car out of impound is not a date. And if it is your idea of a date, then I never want to go on a date with you."
"How about if I took you to a hotel?"
"Even less interested."
"It's better than a jail cell." He reasoned.
Yuya had no response to that. The man was impossible.
They arrive at the café and sat and drank endless mugs of coffee well passed when the impound opened, and hours onwards till Yuya took note of the later time.
Getting Kyo's car took much longer than expected, and a few hours afterwards he offered to drive her home, which he did after stopping to for burgers.
He drove slowly down the Tokai road, cautious of his speed the entire way, then pulled up into the Shiina residence driveway. As the two of them got out of the car, the front door was flung open an a very worried Nozumo rushed out.
"Yuya!" Nozumo cried when he saw his younger sister walking up the path to the front door. It was five in the afternoon and he had not heard a single thing from her all day. Not to mention it had been his birthday, so he was surprised she had not been around at all. If not a little disappointed.
Nozomu did not even mentally process that Mibu Kyo was the one accompanying her to the door at the start.
Pulling his little sister into a hug, he held her tightly for a long time. "I didn't hear from you all of yesterday or today. You had me so worried."
Yuya's apologies were muffled by the hug, but didn't mind because she was out of the slammer and her brother was more worried than mad. The stress of fearing he would find out evaporated in that instant. Hopefully Akari would too annoyed at her for Kyo that it wouldn't cross her mind to mention a thing for a while, and it wasn't like Kyo would mention anything. He had enough common sense not to.
Once released from the gradually suffocating hug, Yuya smiled up at the brother and he returned it, before turning his attention to Kyo.
"Kyo," He greeted the young man stiffly, "I did not expect to see you today. Do you care to explain to me where you have just come from with my sister?"
"Nozumo." Yuya quietly scolded, not wanting her brothers protective nature to make a scene. Not that there was anyone asides from the three of them to pay attention to any scene they may make. Still, a part of her did not want Kyo to be chased off by Nozomu.
"Yeah, I drove her home seeing as she begged me to."
"Don't make up sh-"
"And where was it you came from?" her brother swiftly interrupted her, much to her annoyance and she jabbed him in the side.
Kyo looked as if he suddenly remembered something important as an out of place honest smile graced his face. "Ah! I should have said so earlier. Spent the night with your sister handcuffed to a bed."
