Chapter 3: America

Karin sat up in bed and rubbed her eyes. She looked out the window, then down on the bed where the black haired man should be, only to fine him gone and the sound of running water coming from the bathroom.

Karin got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, yawning along the way. She opened the bathroom door and walked in. She then walked over to the sink, gabbed her toothbrush and put her tooth past on it.

"Ohiyo," she began lazily, still half asleep, "Lucy."

"…Ohiyo, Karin," came Lucien's reply from behind the sea blue certain with pictures of fishes on it.

"Why didn't you wake me up?" Karin wined.

Lucien chuckled. "You were sleeping so peacefully that I didn't have the heart to."

Karin huffed. "And I was going to make us each a bento for our trip too! Baka Lucien."

"Gomennasai."

"Ma, it's fine, I guess," Karin smiled, finished with brushing her teeth. She then turned towards the shower stall and frowned. "Cold shower again?"

"…" Lucien turned off the water and pulled on his towel before walking out, his hair messy.

"Bad dream?" she asked as she got a towel and rubbed his hair with it, trying to dry it off.

Lucien gazed to the side and answered, "…Yeah. A little." He then looked at Karin with a smiled at how cute she looked having to reach up to his head even when he'd lowered himself for her to height. "Anyway, you should take your shower now. I'll get your dress ready, so take your time washing." And he walked out while Karin smiled after him.

When Karin got out of the bathroom, she found Lucien waiting for her on the bed with a hair blower ready in hand.

He was dressed in a black long sleeve shirt and wore a black dress pant on with black socks.

He smiled at Karin and motioned for her to come over to him. Lucien then picked her up and sat her on his lap and proceeded to treating her like a precious doll. He dried her hair and brushed it neatly and tied it with a red ribbon before standing her up and putting a yellow sun dress with pink flowers on it, on her and then pulling on the pink blanket around her form to loosen it and putting it on the bed once it came off.

Karin looked at him, confused. "Sun dress?" she questioned.

"We're going to California, aren't we?" Lucien said, grabbing a pink mini-jacket and putting it around Karin.

"True."

Lucien then grabbed his back suit and headed out with Karin.

Once the two were out, they two were met with a smiling Gin cooking in the kitchen and bring them their food. The family sat down and had breakfast together before the men put on their black suit, grabbed their winter cotes, put on their shoes, with Lucien putting Karin's black dress shoes on for her, got into a taxi and drove off to the airport to catch their fight.

The three were walking to board their plain to California when they saw it.

Karin was in the middle the group, a smile on her face as she pulled her black bag with red flowers on it, along. Aside from her suitcase, Karin was also carrying a small white bag with red Tsubaki flowers on it and a red ribbon wrapped around it. Gin was carrying her blue cote for her.

Lucien stood to Karin's right, a smile on his face as he watched Karin's carefree nature. He hand a black business case in one hand while his other hand was carrying his black winter cote.

Gin walked to Karin's left, though fell back a bit in order to obverse the two cousins, his usual fox-like smile on his face. Gin was dressed in black pants and shoes. He hand a black business suit on with a white shirt underneath and a black tie around the neck collar. He also carried a black case and black cote in his arms.

As the group passed, they made many people stop and stare at them, especially the female population, and flown over how handsome the men were and how cute the little girl looked. Some even fainted at the sparkling sight, being unable to take in the bright light.

Gin chuckled and thought, 'Oh how I wish you could be here to see this, Shiro-chan… Karin-chan is so happy… she's really trying her best, you know...'

"She's trying hard, isn't she?"

"Hm?" Gin looked at Lucien.

"Karin," Lucien said. "She's really trying hard to forget, isn't she?"

Gin's eyes sadden. "…Yes," he answered in a whisper.

Lucien looked at him out of the corner of his eyes and sighed. "Ma, as long as she's happy… right?"

Gin smiled. "Yes. As long as she's happy. But… I don't know how long that'll last though…"

"…" The two of them became silent as they drowned in sadness at the memory.

"Hay!" called a voice from up ahead. "You two!" The two men looked up and ahead to find Karin waving at them in the distance. "Hurry up!" she called over.

The two men smiled at their ray of light.

"But even so," Lucien said as he started off, eyes closed, "We'll still protect her to the best of our abilities. Our dear Little Princess and her smile."

"Yes," Gin agreed as he too, walked over to join Karin.

Karin huffed once the two finally coot up with her. "Mo~," she wined. "What here you guys talking about?"

The two looked at each other before chuckling and Lucien patted Karin on the head.

"Nothing, Hime," Gin answered first. "Nothing at all."

"Yes, nothing you need to worry about, Karin," Lucien added in.

Karin pouted before turning around and continued walking again. The two men were still laughing and Lucien bumped into Karin suddenly as she had stopped at the sight she saw.

"Karin?" Lucien questioned. "What's wrong?" he then looked to where Karin was looking and stopped at what he saw.

The atmosphere suddenly became heavy.

"L-Lucien," Karin tagged on his suit. "It's fine, let's go."

Lucien stared some more before smiling warmly down at Karin.

"Okay," he said in a warm tone. "Let's go." And he walked off.

Karin and Gin stayed behind for a bit and Karin looked up at Gin, sadness in her eyes. Gin's heart flipped.

"I'm not the only one who's trying to forget," she said and took one last look to the one who was the cast of Lucien's suffering before running to catch up with Lucien and tried to cheer him up.

Gin sighed and also looked to the couple, his oar murderous. "Meena Harper," he silently said as he looked to the happy woman with the tall man. "You well regret this. That power will return to Karin and you will regret it. Regret every wishing for it to go away…" he then turned and tried to catch up with the two cousins as well, his smiles back on his face.

'Karin-chan's right,' Gin thought as he ran to catch up with the two. 'She's not the only one trying to forget and move on… we all are, right Shiro-chan?'

The white haired youth looked up from his paperwork and put down his ink brush.

"I guess I'm finished with work here now, hah?" he said to himself before standing up and finally walked out of that room after being there for almost 500years or so, doing nothing but paperwork day and night just to forget... "Time to met and greet..."

It was time for him to begin with his planes to face her now… face his sorrowfulness past once again after so long. He was going to finally get to see his dear beloved Partner after all these years of just watching her suffer from the side lines and not being able to do anything about it...

He was finally going to be able to set things right once again and atone for his sins...

The END.

Well, I hope you enjoy. Look forward to the next continuing story to this one if you like it! Til next time, everyone!

The reason why I chose 'America' to be the title is because America is said to be the land of opportunities, right? So it kinda fit.

Also, the other charaters are from the Book Insatiable by Meg Cabarn. I didn't read the second book, Overbite, so if i had some wrong information, just tell me and i'll get it right in the next story or change it in this one, maybe. But i still want to know what happen! Is the second book really that bad?

~*~Don't get something, ASK and maybe i'll tell. It is supposed to be a mystery, but i'll explain somethings to you if you want me to.
