"What's going on!?" Robyn inquired as she stopped on the bottom step of the stairs, with Kouichi standing on the second step directly behind her.
"No clue." Koori replied softly as she eyed the closed kitchen door wearily.
"You don't think their argument got way out of hand do you?" Kelsey inquired with a glance up at Kouichi as she asked Rei with worry in her voice.
"He wouldn't hit her." Kai corrected with his arms crossed and his eyes closed as he leaned against the farther wall.
Rei placed his hands on the ravenette's shoulders in a comforting manner as an unsettling silence engulfed the room for a moment. Due to the kitchen door being closed no one knew whether it was laughter or crying that interrupted the silence, but it was loud enough for Robyn step off of the stairs and slide the door open. Robyn didn't go passed the door way for the sight that greeted her was confusing and it gave both of her sister's the time to come up beside her. Amaya was sitting in the corner directly in front of the door with her legs in an odd fashion and a bowl on top of her head, which covered her eyes and part of her nose from view. Kouji was no where to be seen, but his laughter could be heard by all the were standing in the door way.
"Shut up Kouji! It's not like you can keep your balance all the time!" Amaya snapped as she readjusted her sitting position and pushed the bowl up a bit to where she could glare at the ravenette male.
"You tripped over your own feet, twice in a matter of minutes." Kouji howled in laughter, which was out of his character.
"Onee-chan?" Robyn inquired which caused Amaya to look towards the door way in surprise.
"Nya! Good morning Imotou. Please, tell me we didn't wake you up." Amaya squeaked out as she blushed darkly and Kouji went silent.
"You didn't, but what do you have all over your face?" Robyn inquired as Koori and Kelsey had to bite their bottom lip to keep from laughing.
"Icing. I'm not the only one covered in it either." Amaya answered truthfully as she glanced back at the opposite corner of where she sat, which was hidden due to there being a small counter in the center of the kitchen.
"You two couldn't be mature?" Rei inquired which caused Amaya to glare at the boy behind Kelsey.
"This is not what it looks like! Kouji started this whole mess! We weren't even arguing, he was being a boy!" Amaya defended which gained a chuckle from not only Rei, but Kai and Kouichi as well.
"You can't blame me for this! I was helping you, up until you slipped the first time and dumped this crap all over me!" Kouji responded in his own defense as Amaya let the bowl fall back over her face.
"I wouldn't have slipped the first time if you hadn't licked my cheek!" Amaya shouted in her own defense as her face flush red and all three of her sister's jaws dropped.
"Kouji! You're gonna make me beat the hell out of you, aren't ya!?" Kelsey and Robyn snapped in unison at the ravenette, who wasn't even in their sight.
"I'm not allowed to even touch my own girlfriend! What the hell is wrong with you two!?"Kouji snapped more to himself then at the blonde and ravenette.
"Imotou, before you two try to jump Kouji, could one of you run upstairs and get a bottle of my shampoo and two towels?" Amaya inquired while making a hand motion for a camera as well.
"I'll go, but he better not move!" Kelsey volunteered before she snap at the still unseen ravenette.
"I'll go with Kelsey." Koori stated softly as she followed the younger, but taller ravenette up the stairs.
"Kouji, why are you hiding in that corner anyways?" Robyn inquired which caused Amaya to started laughing.
"None of your business, besides who says I'm hiding?" Kouji growled while glaring at Amaya.
"We haven't seen or heard you move since the door was opened." Rei stated matter of factly, as Kouichi shook his head, this was childish.
"I'm on the floor. Of course, you can't see me! It doesn't take genius to figure that one out!" Kouji snapped which caused Amaya to strike out with her leg at him.
"Why can't you be nice?" Amaya inquired as he caught her foot before she kicked him in the legs.
"He's stating the freaking obvious!" Kouji stated incredulously which caused his voice to spike in pitch.
"You're not completely over your cold, are you!?" Amaya accused as Kelsey and Koori stopped at the doorway to the kitchen.
"I'm not sick!" Kouji defended as Amaya motioned for Koori to slide her the camera.
"Wolf." Amaya called rather calmly which caused him to look her way and she snapped a quick picture before she slide the camera back to Koori.
"Amaya!" Kouji protested as he grabbed her ankle and jerked her towards him.
"Hey! Amaya's not a doll!" Robyn snapped,but was stopped when Amaya waved at her.
"I'm fine, Kels-chan leave the shampoo and the towels next to the door and shut it. We'll both join the rest of you in a moment." Amaya instructed which caused the girls to exchange glances before they did as she asked.
"Hey Koori, let's see the camera." Kelsey demanded lightly as she took it from Koori's open hand and plugged it into their TV.
It took the camera a few moments, but the picture that Amaya took made the girls burst out laughing. Kouichi had to laugh while Rei and Kai chuckled at the picture that had been truly been a picture perfect black mail opportunity. The picture was of Kouji, but instead of him looking like he did when he came thru the door, he had pink icing across his nose and cheeks and flower sprinkles all in his hair. He looked rather annoyed and had his arms crossed, but there was a glimpse of a small smile on his face while he glared at the camera. His hair wasn't tied back, but was loose and fell around his shoulders.
While everyone was laughing at how Kouji had looked, he was helping Amaya wash icing out of her hair. Amaya was giggling at the irony of how her younger, but suppose to be tough boyfriend was being overly gentle at helping her get the sticky mess, that was suppose to go on her sister's cake, out of her hair. He was also ignoring the fact that he had some of it smeared across his face, like a blush that wouldn't go away, as he lathered shampoo through Amaya's hair.
"What're you laughing at!?" Kouji snapped lightly as he rinsed the shampoo out of Amaya's hair.
"It's an inside joke Kouji-kun, you wouldn't get it." Amaya giggled which caused the ravenette to blush under the icing that had yet to be washed off.
Kouji made no comment as he finished rinsing Amaya's hair out and wrapped a towel around her hair. Amaya took it from his hands and started to scrub it through her hair, rather roughly, trying to dry it the best she could without her hair dryer. She left the towel to hang around her neck and her hair to fall over her back as she took the clean towel and cleaned the icing from Kouji's face.
While Amaya and Kouji were getting themselves cleaned up Robyn and the others moved the furniture, so that it lined the walls, and had turned on some up beat music. Koori and Kai were off to the side while Robyn had drug Kouichi, Rei, and Kelsey out to dance with her. The laughter from the living room could be heard not only in the rest of the apartment, but from the outside as well. Koori opened the small door on the in wall counter and found Amaya sitting at the center bar, mixing icing, with Kouji behind her, fixing her hair.
"Kouji...what the hell are you doing?" Kai inquired rather bluntly which caused both Amaya and Kouji to look up from what they were doing.
"Hi Kai!" Amaya chirped having not noticed him at all before.
"Amaya, that was so random." Koori stated softly with a giggle which made Amaya smile.
"You two have lost it." Kouji interjected dully as he pulled Amaya's ponytail holder into her hair and secured it with it.
"Onee-chan! Come join us!" Robyn shouted with laughter as she ran up to the wall counter.
"In a minute Imotou. Let me finish your cake without anymore mishaps." Amaya replied while hinting at Kouji who threw his hands up in his defense.
"Come on Kouji, Kai, Koori! Come have some fun!" Robyn coaxed as she pulled Kai and Koori out to the middle of the living room, while Amaya shooed Kouji away.
Amaya started working on Robyn's cake again while Robyn had somehow gotten herself into dancing with Rei. Kelsey was dancing with Kai and Koori had somehow ended up with Kouji who could easily pick her up, just as the others could. Kouichi chuckled at Kouji's reluctance before he walked into the kitchen to check on the ravenette who had yet to have any fun.
"Hi Ichi! Did you sleep well?" Amaya inquired as she started to put the base icing on the cake.
"I slept well, but you know you could have asked, right?" Kouichi inquired as he grabbed the broom from the small panty and started cleaning up the mess that was still on the floor.
"Never though about that, and would you stop that! You're a guest for Pete's sake, you're not suppose to clean!" Amaya scolded and grabbed at the broom only to have her hand swatted away.
"You worry about the cake. I can sweep Amaya." Kouichi told her calmly with a smile that no one could argue with.
Amaya rolled her eyes before she glanced back into the living room finding that the others had switched up partners. Koori was dancing with Rei, Kelsey was dancing with Kouji and Robyn had ended up with Kai, who look rather perplexed. Kouichi chuckled at Kai's face as Amaya started with the decoration on the side of the cake while bouncing her foot to the song. Amaya had the cake almost completely finished by the time the girls switched partners again which left Kouji with Robyn. Once Amaya added the finishing touches to the cake she found herself being whisked out of the kitchen by Kouichi, who thought she should have a little fun. Amaya ended up dancing with Kouichi, but somehow ended up with Robyn, while Koori and Kelsey ended up being each others partner. Rei and Kai had somehow gotten roped into dancing with one another as did the twins and that's exactly how they were all dancing when the girls landlord walked through the door.
"Well now, should I laugh or just leave and come back?" the landlord questioned with a hint of a laugh in her voice.
"Hi Mrs. Sato!" all four girls shouted in unison as the boys eat stepped away from one another.
"Hello dears! Happy birthday Robyn! I brought you all some lunch and I brought a little something for Robyn as well. " Mrs. Sato informed them as she set the boxes she had in her arms on the in wall counter and gave the blonde a hug.
"Thank you Mrs. Sato! You didn't have to get me anything!" Robyn informed her with a smile as she embraced the older woman tightly.
"The least I can do. I'll leave you girls and boys to your party." Mrs. Sato stated as she left just as quickly as she had come.
"That was fast." Koori commented softly as she starred at the front door.
"She didn't have to leave so quickly." Kelsey finished for Koori as Amaya went into the kitchen to fetch some plates and chop sticks.
"Well she's just that way, ya know? Besides let's eat before what she brought gets cold." Amaya instructed as she set up places on the wall bar for everyone to eat.
"Itadakimasu!" everyone shout in unison as they each took their places and started eating while conversing slightly with one another.
