Anything He Can Do…I Can…Do…Better?

→ Tsuki's House

Sitting on the floor in front of the television, was Kai, behind him, sitting on the couch was Tsuki who was giving him a shoulder rub because Tsuki decided he deserved it after just coming back from a meeting with 'Grandpa'. Ryu was on the other side sitting on a lazy-boy chair watching the couple with a smile on his face. Amused how two completely different people, who didn't share most of the same interest was still able to complete one another…it was just 'amazing' he thought. He and Tsuki were never this close and they knew each other since they were babies!

'Man, they are one crazy couple, I must say…but…they're perfect for each other. Ha! I never really imagined Tsuki marrying someone like Kai, who's like her polar opposite in basically…Everything! It's amusing really, especially how Kage hates Kai's guts but who actually accepts him none the less…okay…maybe that's wishful thinking but hey, he's gotta get along with the guy since his sister is marrying him!' Ryu, who was still deep in thought about the couple, began to subconsciously smirk at the thought of Kai and Kage hanging out at a family reunion. Tsuki who was watching Kage became curious as to what was so funny because his smirk soon turned into a smile and he started laughing aloud, which got Kai to open one lazy eye and look at the man to the right of him.

'…He's friggin' insane! What did Tsuki see in this guy anyway! Look at him, laughing over there like some crazed lunatic! Hn…I know I wouldn't want to be seen around him…Even Kage thinks he's mad! Ha! He thinks he's soooo cool, but in reality…I'm cooler…yup…waaaayyyy cooler…" Kai was taken away from his thoughts as heard Tsuki ask Ryu if he was alright and if he didn't need to go see a doctor or something. Smirking Kai leaned back and closed his eyes again.

"…You sure your alright man…you didn't get some type of bird flu…did you?" Questioned Kage while slowly looking at Ryu who was slumped on the recliner trying to catch his breath.

xPantx xPantx "Dude…I'm fine…I just had a…funny thought that's all…" Ryu had to stop the chuckle that started to work its way out of his mouth while he spoke. Feeling drained from all the laughing Ryu slumped a little more in the recliner and closed his eyes. Tsuki who was watching all this had a very wry look on her face because one: Ryu was laughing like a maniac a while ago and two: Kai was smirking at the same time Ryu was laughing…She, being very imaginative person thought that maybe Kai had some mind control power of some-sort, of which he wasn't telling her. Turning her head to the relaxed Kai who looked asleep, Tsuki inched her face closer to test out if he really was asleep. Kai who was just relaxing felt Tsuki's breath on his face, opened up one eye to look at her. Tsuki just stared right back at him until a smile formed on her face, which made Kai worry that maybe what ever made Ryu laugh was contagious…but he highly doubted it and just went with the excuse of 'Tsuki is just being…Tsuki…'

"…What?" Kai asked.

"…Nothing..." Replied Tsuki who still hadn't removed her face.

"…Then why were you staring?"

"…Would you believe me if I said that I just wanted to stare at your handsome face? Asked Tsuki who adorned a wolfish grin.

"…People who stare for too long are rude, and no, I wouldn't believe you." Replied Kai, a smirk imprinted onto his face. Tsuki began to inch forward a little more until their noses touched. Leaning upward Kai was near enough to plant a kiss on her lips until they heard a cough; turning their heads they saw Kage leaning against the wall glaring murderously at Kai who just a raised an eyebrow as if he were challenging him.

xGrowlsx "Sorry to ruin the moment but, Tsuki…I'm hungry." Sighing Tsuki scooted Kai and went towards the kitchen, 'accidentally' bumping into Kage who returned to glaring at Kai. Smirking visibly, Kage thought of an idea, one involving Ryu kicking Kai's ass. Kai who had closed his eyes again missed the evil smirk that adorned Kage's face.

→ 5 minutes later…

Tsuki, who was in the kitchen decided to make pasta. Waiting for the water to boil, her thoughts wandered off to earlier that evening when Kai came looking utterly miserable. Her curiosity wanted to know what bugged him so much, besides meeting his grandfather…yesh! 'Just thinking about the old man gives me the shivers' Shaking visibly Tsuki began to pour the pasta sticks into the now boiling water, her mind still on the mentioned subject. 'I wanted to ask him so bad…but I didn't want to be a nosy person…if it's important for me to know, I know Kai will tell me…but if not…xSighx…I guess I'm just gonna have to forget about it. But the way Kai looked…it must have been awful…I've never seen him so…so…so stressed out, well besides when there's a tournament…but still…'

→Flashback

Tsuki and Ryu were talking about what each of them had been up to since the last time they saw each other. Tsuki lying on her bed, she listened to Ryu who was sitting on the floor looking up at the ceiling as he talked. They both stopped their chatter when they heard the doorbell ring. Both hearing Kage say something like 'not here' and someone else saying 'whatever', it went back and forth for a while until Tsuki heard her father say 'upstairs'. Wandering who it could be Tsuki turned to give Ryu a questioning look. As if reading her thoughts he replied: "Maybe it's Kai." Soon enough Kai comes through the door looking completely worn out, miserable, and frustrated. Tsuki got up into a sitting position and welcomed Kai into her arms as he crawled towards her and just collapsed. Ryu, who was yet to be noticed by Kai just had an amused look plastered on his face as he glanced back and forth between the couple. Feeling a second presence, Kai opened one lazy eye, which met two brown ones. Tsuki felt Kai tense up, which caused her to tense up. Ryu feeling the rising tension excused himself and went downstairs. Feeling Kai relaxed into her arms again, Tsuki began to stroke his hair, wandering what had happened…

→ End Flashback

xSighx Breaking her from her thoughts, Ryu stepped into the kitchen.

"Need any help?"

"Um…noooo…" Replied Tsuki unsurely.

"Ya sure? I could get the dessert started if you want." Tsuki gave him an unimpressed look and replied:

"That's nice and all, but you're the guest so go back and sit down." Ryu, who wasn't buying the 'you're the guest' crap, opened the fridge and began to take out some ingredients. Kai who "happened" to walk by stopped and entered the kitchen, giving both adults a questioning look.

"I'm helping Tsuki, by making the dessert. Do you want to help?" Ryu, who read the look on Kai's face wrong hurriedly, replied:

"You don't have too of course. I mean if you don't cook?" Kai who mistook Ryu's sincerity as a challenge asked:

"Hn…I'll help…what are we making?" While giving Ryu an 'I challenge you look.' Ryu who is now completely lost after the look Kai gave him answered slowly:

"Uh…fruit cake…"

"…" Tsuki just watched the exchange completely lost just like Ryu, but possibly even more.

"…Alriiighttt…let's get started Kai" Ryu gave Kai a friendly smile who again mistook it to be a 'fake' gesture of kindness and grunted in response. Kage who was watching all this was laughing silently to himself, thinking: 'oh boy…the fun is just getting started…hahaha…'

Tsuki who was unaware of the rising 'male testosterone' level returned to making the pasta sauce.

→ To the boys…

Ryu and Kai occupied the kitchen table. Ryu was making the bottom layer of the cake while Kai was cutting the fruit. Different thoughts running through their minds.

'…Man…this is awkward…' Thought Ryu glancing carefully, so he wouldn't be noticed, at Kai who was completely ignoring everyone around him. '…Should I say something…man…this is really killing me! Maybe I could start off asking him if he wanted to hear a joke…' Glancing at Kai again, Ryu decided against it and sighed quietly but not quiet enough for Kai heard the sigh.

'…Hn…what's he sighing for…humph…I bet he's depressed that he couldn't spend time with Tsuki alone! As if I'd let him! He already spent time with her while I was at the Mansion…the nerve of the guy…I wonder what they were—No! Don't go there Kai, butting into other people's business is un-Kai-like…but so is talking to yourself…! Alright…I really have to focus…I've been hanging around Tsuki waaayyy too long!'

Kage watched the two men who were deeply in thought trying to think up a way to get Kai to become competitive…suddenly a light bulb lit over his head and he smirked.

"Hey, Ryu…"

"Yea." Asked Ryu looking up at Kage.

"Do you think you could make that delicious sauce you put on your fruit cakes?" Watching as Tsuki tensed up.

"Uh…well…" Glancing at Tsuki, Ryu was kinda waiting for a sign from the young woman. Kai noticing that he was glancing at his woman, narrowed his eyes.

"…It's really up to Tsuki…I mean…we invented that sauce together…ya know…" Kai's right eye began to twitch as heard the word 'together' Tsuki who was trying to act oblivious failed miserably as Kage turned to his sister and asked:

"Awww…come on Tsuki! Dad loves the sauce that you and Ryu make…" Kage was trying, and succeeded, to conceal the smirk so he wouldn't be given away.

"Um…" Turning to look at Kage, Tsuki thought about what he said and replied:

xSighx "…fine…Ryu?" She asked glancing at Ryu.

"Yea…that's cool…well, I mean if Kai's alright with finishing this layer, it just needs to be smoothed out and put into the oven." Ryu replied turning to Kai looking for approval. Kai who looked completely indifferent gave a shrug, got up and began to smooth out the batter, but within him he was beating himself up for agreeing. Smirking Kage turned and left the kitchen.

→ Ryu and Tsuki

"…Well, shall we get started?" Tsuki replied with a nod. Laughing a little.

"What?" Asked Ryu

"It's just…remembered the time when we came up with this sauce?" Asked Tsuki with a gentle smile playing on her lips

"Yea…" Replied Ryu who had a faraway look on his face. "We forgot what we put in it that we tried so many different ingredients just to try and find it…hehehe."

"Ya…I guess we should get started huh." Tsuki replied cocking her head to one side while at the same time smiling. They began working, unknown to them the pair of jealous violet orbs that watched with a burning hatred.

→ With Kai

'Look at them…ugh! How sweet…NOT! 'Aww…Tsuki come and make your special sauce with Ryu…' Stupid Kage…this blows…' Just then he heard laughter coming from the two. Scowling, Kai returned to what he was doing. 'hahaha…look at me I'm Ryu…I'm soooo cool! Blah! He makes me want to puke! …' After that thought, Kai became completely aware of how he acted was so…Tyson-like. Well, the time when some guy was flirting with Hil…but that's another story… 'I can't believe I just let my emotions get the better of me! I'm Kai…Kai Hiwatari…I don't let stupid emotions get the best of me! I need to calm down…breath Kai…great…I'm talking to myself again…at least it isn't aloud…' Laughter caused Kai to turn to the pair who was getting awfully close to his liking. Turning back again, Kai tried to ignore the angry thoughts but found that he couldn't.

'Can they quit laughing already! It's worst enough that they have a special recipe together…they don't need to get all giddy on me! Sheesh!' Kage took a peek into the kitchen and found to his glee a fuming Kai who looked like he was fighting his own inner demons while trying to ignore the couple. Smiling he turned and left.

Kai had completed layering the cake with fruit and crème, but he didn't look too happy. Nope. His face was impassive but his mind was exploding. Tsuki and Ryu were reminiscing about the past they shared together the whole time! Kai was not happy. Sighing he looked towards the ceiling, closing his eyes…feeling as if he lost the world championship to some novice!

Hearing someone sigh, Tsuki turned to find Kai looking towards the ceiling, well technically not looking because he had his eyes closed. Deciding to see what was up, no pun intended, Tsuki decided to approach him.

"…Kai-kun…" Tsuki called to him while gently grabbing hold of his arm.

"…Hmmm…" Came Kai's response as he looked at her.

"…What's wrong Kai-kun?" Tsuki asked.

"…Nothing…just…exhausted, that's all…" Kai gave Tsuki a small smile who returned it in return before getting up on her tip-toes and planting a light kiss on his cheek Turning Tsuki went back to help with the finishing touch on the sauce. Kai sighed, knowing that he just practically lied to Tsuki about nothing being wrong. To him everything was going terribly wrong…first his grandfather, next his jealousy towards Ryu, and now…this guilty feeling of lying to his future wife! This was not what Kai expected to happen when his wedding was nearing…Plus he still needed to tell Tsuki about what his grandfather said…he knew she'd probably tell him that she didn't care and she'd still go on with the wedding whether he liked it or not, but…he knew she'd feel hurt…deep down she would…

xSighx 'I need some fresh air…' With that Kai headed towards the front door. Tsuki noticing one less presence went to get Kai.

"Kai!" Kai stopped and turned to face his fiancé.

"…Hmm.." Came his response.

"Where are you going? Dinner is almost ready."

"…Just for…a walk…I'll be back kay? Don't stay up." With that Kai gave Tsuki a kiss on the lips and closed the door behind him. Sighing Tsuki contemplated whether she was going to go after him or not. Deciding that Kai needed some space, Tsuki went back to the kitchen.

→ Bakuten Park

Sighing Kai continued walking through the park, going wherever his feet take him. Kai stopped and took a good look around. He found himself on a bridge, looking down at the river, he saw his reflection just staring up at him. Looking…

"…You know…no matter how hard you look…your reflection is going to stay the same." Kai turned his head to his right and found himself staring at forest-green eyes… 'Aya' Kai thought.

"…Sorry about what happened at your grandfather's home…you must already be stressed about your wedding, you didn't need to be bothered with other things as well…" Turning to look at the man before her, Aya couldn't help but blush… 'Wow…whoever's marrying him must be lucky…' xSighx Kai turned to look at her again when he heard her sigh. Feeling eyes on her, Aya looked up.

"…"

"…" They stayed like that, just looking at each other…

"Why are you here." Aya looked taken back at the sudden question. She found herself gaping. Smirking at the girl, Kai turned back to look at the darkening sky, stars where almost visible.

"I'm here, because…I saw you…and I thought it only right that I apologize…"

"…You don't have to apologize…"

"Bu—"

"It's my grandfather's fault." Interrupted Kai turning to face the girl.

"…"

"I should be going…" With that said Kai turned to leave. Aya stretched out her arm to try to stop him, but stop in the mid-process of doing so, dropping her arm and just watching as he walked away.

→ Tsuki's Room

Tsuki was pacing back and forth, glancing at the clock ever so often while debating whether or not she was going to go look for Kai. It was only 8:30pm but Kai left at 6pm. Tsuki called his cell to see if he was alright, but all she got was his voice recorder. Deciding that she was going to look for him, Tsuki bounded down the stairs, swung the door open and collided with a toned body.

"…Tsuki…where are you going?" Tensing up, Tsuki looked up to find herself gazing up at Kai who raised an eyebrow at her. Smiling Tsuki latched her self onto Kai who softened his gaze and embraced her back.

"…What wrong Tsuki…" Kai's voice was above a whisper that if Tsuki wasn't close as she was, she probably wouldn't have heard him.

"…I was worried about you…" She whispered back snuggling her face into his chest.

"…"

"…"

"…So…you were gonna look for me…wearing that?" Smirking Kai looked at Tsuki who gave him a questioning look and then looking down at her attire before looking up and turning a nice shade of crimson.

"…" Laughing, Kai gave Tsuki another hug before dragging her upstairs towards her bedroom for some shut-eye…

Yay!!! I'm done!

Man! Kai gets very jealous easily! Tsuki is soooo oblivious to her surroundings, it's adorable! Ryu doesn't know that Kai's misunderstanding him!

But wait! I just threw in Aya again!…hmm…will Kai see her again? If so…what's gonna happen?

Tsuki still hasn't found out about what Voltaire wants Kai to do! O.O;

Oh boy! Who knew things could get pretty hectic when one's wedding is in a month! Could things get worst or will it start to get better for the couple towards the end??? Stay tune to find out! XD

R&R PLEASE!!!!!!
