"He's not my father," Kyo denied angrily.

"Oh? Most children live with their parents... you live with Kazuma," Rin said with moderate frustration and distain.

"He's not my father."

"Then move out."

"What?" Kyo asked with surprised.

"If he's not your father, then move out."

"Fine, I will."

Kazuma stood outside the hospital room door holding the beverages he had left to fetch. He knew leaving Rin and Kyo alone was a bad idea, but he never thought she'd egg Kyo on so blatantly.

A small pain developed in Kazuma's chest when he heard Kyo deny him with such passion.
