Okinata: -all soooo happy- Third chapter, third chapter!

Ren: What are you so glad with? You seem damn happy...

Okinata: -with a matter-of-fact tone- It's because it's holiday! It's hard not to be happy about it! Whole two weeks of break in going to school! -dancing and singing around-

Ren: -sweatdroping- You're overreacting, you know? It's even worse from when you are down...

Okinata: -hissing- So, you try to tell me that you prefer when I'm depressed?

Ren: -challenging look- And what if I do?

Okinata: -thinking for a moment, her index finger at her lips in a thoughtful manner- Hm... well, I guess, that then you would stay a virgin forever.

Ren: -blushing insanely- SAY WHAT?!

Okinata: -a-matter-of-fact tone again- It's simple: it's hard for me to write, when I'm too depressed, so you wouldn't get your first sex, since I would never write about it!

Ren: -almost ripping his hair off his head- WHY MEEEEE!?!

San. The end of solitude...

"Reen!" He heard a knocking at his room's door and dug himself deeper into covers, his body still feeling heavy with sleep. "Ren, wake up! It's almost midday!"

Yeah, wri- ...WHAT?!

He immediately jumped to his feet on his bed, coming round in an instant. Oh, crap, and what if I overslept...? "Umm... nee-san?"

"Yes"

"Was there anyone asking about me?"

"Nope." His sister's voice that came through the closed door sounded surprised. "Why? You're expecting someone?" This time she seemed rather way amused.

Ren felt a slight blush come to his cheeks. "Not really. I just thought that perhaps Yoh or Horohoro would remember about me... ah, well, nevermind it." What a relief he was a good actor... But it wasn't the best thing to say, and he knew it well enough. He just... couldn't think of anything better.

A quiet giggle from behind the door convinced him, that his misgivings were right.

"Oh, a revival of an old love? But, onii-chan, you should make up your mind! Loving two people at the same time isn't too convenient..."

Great. There she goes again with her forbidden-love pairings! God, I have to somehow stop her from reading yaoi... He sighed with frustration. Nee-san and her imagination... the fact, that we were close, and I even got sometimes excited about them doesn't mean a thing, God damn it! Okay, I have to somehow find another subject. Hm... another subject, another subject... "Ne, nee-san, is the breakfast ready?"

He heard a sudden gasp. "Oh my! I completely forgot!" Quick footsteps in the corridor acknowledged Ren that his sister left.

With another sigh, this time a that-was-close one, he fell back on the bed's burgundy covers, thoughtful glare of his golden orbs firmly locked on the ceiling.

Eight days have passed since he got the anonymous letter, and the mysterious author was yet to show up. Well, the Chinese could eventually treat it as a stupid joke and forget the whole thing, but somehow... he couldn't. He didn't know why, but he kept thinking about the letter. He slept with it under his pillow, and put it into his pocket when he got up in the morning. He always dragged it with him, keeping it hidden safe.

He let a thoughtful sigh. If that person would really come... that could mean the end of my solitude...

"Ren! Breakfast!" Jun's voice snapped him out of his thoughts. He left his bed with a quiet moan and walked towards the wardrobe to get dressed.

Okinata: Short, as usual. I guess most of my chapters will be about this length, though I know already, that some of the later ones won't.

Ren: Hey, kisama, why am I sighing all the time?

Okinata: -indignant- No, you're not! You let a moan here, see? -pointing a finger at the concrete fragment-

Ren: But it's just a single fragment!

Okinata: So what! You should be glad, I considered putting another sigh in this place, and I changed it the very last moment from saving this file!

Ren: -fear, shock and disbelief- You've gotta be kidding me!

Okinata: -putting her hand on heart- No, I'm not! It's the genuine truth! By the way, same goes for your virginity case we argued while I was writing this chapter...

Ren: -almost ripping his hair off his head- WHY MEEEEE!?!
