Chapter 4: Kio

And so, life with Kalel began its suckish course. Trust me; living with that kid is the pits. He's so picky about his food! He won't eat anything Sou-chan and I have, and he refuses to do anything with us. Well, Sou-chan's been avoiding him a lot since I brought Kalel home.

Anyways, Kalel won't eat a single damn thing I cook. One night I made negi-ramen for supper followed by milmake. It was pretty damn good, if I say so myself. But, Kalel just shoved his plate in front of Sou-chan, snorting, "I don't want any. I hate ramen." So, I gave him an onigiri box. Kalel took one bite of a rice ball before he picked up the box and left the table. "I'm going to my room," he said, and since then he has been staying in my room.

Kalel hardly leaves my room anymore. The rare times I'll see him and actually have a chance to get to my room are when he leaves to take a bath in the evening. When he returns, he'll glare at me and tell me to get out, like it was his room or something. It's my room, dammit! And, he does weird stuff in there, too.

See, after Sou-chan falls asleep, I usually go to bed. A couple nights I passed by my room to see if Kalel had decided to move into the living room, or something like that. But, he was still in there. He was talking to someone, very gently I might add. When Kalel spoke, he sounded relieved, happy. Then, there was a silence for a long time. Kalel might have been sleep-talking, but I would have kept on believing that if I didn't hear footsteps on the other side of the door. And, that's when I heard her.

"Sleep well, dear Luminescence." Just the sound of that girl's voice chilled me though. Wait, I should probably explain. I suspected that Kalel had been sneaking a girlfriend over. After all, he sounded like he was romancing a woman when he had spoken earlier. And, her voice was so, I don't know, strong. Kalel must rely on her a lot. Oh, that's disgusting!

Not only was Kalel keeping me from my room and using it for his love-playground, he was also constantly being rude to Sou-chan. I mean, this bastard has a lot of nerve to snap at Sou-chan like he does. Hell, just yesterday Kalel started an argument with Sou-chan. I think it went something like this:

"Why don't you just leave already, Kalel? You have no purpose here." Kalel just grinned and yanked on Sou-chan's hair.

"You can hide him all you want," he murmured. "I will find Loveless. After all, Ritsu-sensei himself let me graduate under my partner's name. I fooled the greatest Sentouki of them all, and I will carry out my orders as a Sentouki!" At that point, Sou-chan had become more than pissed off. He looked like he was ready to bite Kalel's head off! Still, their argument confused me. A lot. Who was Ritsu-sensei? I don't remember having a teacher with Sou-chan by that name. And what was with all the talk about a weapons school? Oh God, what if Kalel's a terrorist? Why does this crap have to happen to me?

And, still, Kalel continued to live in my room. Every time I went in there during his bath I half-expected to see furry ears on my pillow. I mean, what else would he bring a girl over for? I'm kidding, okay! Kalel's still too naïve to know how to lose his ears anyways. I mean… he knows how they're lost, but…not how…oh, forget it.

Everything about that kid confuses me. First, he doesn't tell me that he's a boy, and then he kicks me out of my own room to use it as a terrorist center! I should just kick him out instead! After all, he's a pain in the ass toward Sou-chan, too, so it's not like he'll disagree with me, right?
