Hitsu: Hey everyone! I'm not dead!
Weylin: Surprisingly..
Hitsu: Meanie! Anyways, here is the long overdue chapter that you all have been waiting for. I hope it doesn't dissapoint you!
Akemi paused in the doorway, staring at the two shirtless men in front of him. Two wet shirtless men, who just happen to be embracing his precious little sister. Kahoko could hear his knuckles cracking.
"Onii-chan?" she asked quietly. Akemi did not respond. In fact, he was slowing walking over two the trio, murder in his eyes. He stopped in front of Kahoko, who, because of the shock, forgot to pull herself from Azuma's and Hihara's embrace. She braced herself for what was going to happen.
"Ka…ho…ko…" Akemi slowly sounded out. He grabbed her arm and pulled her away from the two musicians. Then, he began to cry dramatically on her shoulder. Azuma and Hihara blatantly stared, unsure of what to make of this shange in situation. On the other hand, Kahoko grew even more flustered than before.
"How could you betray Onii-chan like that! My Kaho is growing up so fast!" Akemi clutched Kahoko closer. "I never expected my cute little sister to be involved with two men!"Kahoko's face blushed a bright red. She stuttered, her memory going blank. Much to her appreciation, Azuma stepped in to save her.
"Hino-san, we were merely breaking her fall," Azuma pointed out smoothly. Hihara, at this point, woke from his stupor.
"Yeah, we aren't ro-romantically in-in-invol—," he managed to stutter before turning an even brighter red than Kahoko. Akemi pondered over their words thoughtfully while keeping his hold on Kahoko.
After some time, he replied. "All right, I believe you." He turned to Kahoko with a huge grin on his face. "Kaho, be a sweetheart and make some dinner for your Onii-chan! I'm so hungry." Kahoko, relieved to be out of the situation, fled. Akemi turned so his back was to the guys, watching his sister leave to room. Azuma and Hihara sighed, glad to clear things up. Hihara decided to be a little bold and spoke.
"So, ah, Akemi-san, how close are you and Kaho-chan?"
"Kaho-chan?" Akemi replied, his voice holding a dangerous tone. "So you call her Kaho-chan hmm? Well Hihara-san, Kahoko is my one and only, and I want what is best for her." With this he turned and faced the two, his previously calm face twisted with conspicuous hatred. "Don't think I'm letting you both off this easy." Akemi's aura of hatred visibly disturbed the boys, even Azuma looked a little unnerved.
"Onii-chan?" Kahoko's voiced drifted into the room. "Do you want hamburger or pasta?" Akemi's anger lessened a bit, replying that he wanted pasta, his voice betraying none of his emotions. Azuma observed this man. His personality was too similar to his own and he did not like it. It was clear that he was overly protective of his younger sibling to the point where is seemed as if he was hiding something. Azuma glanced over at Hihara to see is he noticed the same thing. Hihara was cowering in the corner of the room looking as if he was a puppy struck by his beloved master. Azuma mentally shook his head, of course Kazuki wouldn't notice anything.
"I'll be watching you two." Akemi's voice brought Azuma back from his pondering. He looked up to see Akemi glaring at them. Azuma matched his glare with his own, angering Akemi even more. "If you even so much look at her the wrong way, I'll make your worst nightmares come true."
Azuma recognized this lucid invitation to leave. Not wanting to cause more of a disruption, he complied. Picking up the spare clothing that Kahoko previously dropped on the floor, he quickly threw a shirt to Hihara.
"I believe that we have overstayed our welcome," he deftly stated. "Tell Kahoko that she can give back our uniforms at school. Thank you for having us over." With that said he grabbed Hihara by the collar and their school bags and dragged them out the front door. Just when the door closed, Kahoko walked back into the living room.
"Huh? Yunoki-senpai and Hihara-senpai left?" she questioned Akemi. He nodded, looking at the door briefly before gracing Kahoko with a smile. "They said you can give them their uniforms at school." Kahoko looked at her brother suspiciously, she knew something had happened while she was gone, but she was not sure what. Exhaling she circled her arms around his waist and rested her head on his chest.
"Onii-chan, it's been so long since we have been able to see each other. Please don't ruin this happy time because of some petty defensiveness. Those senpai are my friends, and I would like you to get along." Closing her eyes, Kahoko buried her head into his shirt. Akemi's eyes softened.
"It's ok Kahoko. I promise to try and be civil with them. You know I only want what is best for you," he told her resting his chin on the top of her head. The two stayed like that for a bit before Akemi's stomach growled. Grinning wolfishly, Akemi looked down at his beloved sister. "Your Onii-chan is hungry!"
Back at the Yunoki house hold, Azuma was staring at out at his garden. The encounter with Akemi that day left him unsettled. It made sense that a brother would get protective of his sister, even Azuma felt that way with Miyabi when it came to suitors. However, Akemi was different. His actions felt different. Azuma picked up his flute and began to lightly play a tune. He would look into this Akemi Hino and find out the truth. After all, what good was it to be rich if one could not pull some strings to find some information?
Hitsu: Yes? No? Horrible?
Weylin: Please review!
