Okinata: Ohayo everyone! Things got way really twisted lately. I got a boyfriend (his nickname is SasUUUke), and my old love – Kaoru-nee-chan – decided that she would like to start spending time with me in not-so-innocent way again…
Kaoru: -fondling with Okinata while lying comfortably in her arms- Uhmm…
SasUUUke: Ne, koi, why is it that after three weeks of being together you already betray me?
Okinata: I'm not betraying you! You agreed on it yourself, saying that it's not actually a betrayal…!
Ren: Ekhm… um… shitsureshimasu, but could you please stop ignoring me?
Okinata: -turning around with surprise- Oh, Ren, you were here all the time?
Ren: -sighs, tilting his head with resignation, down to the very end- Thanks that you finally condescended to notice.
Okinata: Oh, come on, I told things got really twisted lately! So, what is it?
Ren: Um… yeah, well… could you three stop lying one on top of the other? It's kind of embarrassing…
Okinata&Kaoru&SasUUUke: …
Nana. You really think so...?
"WHAT THE HELL IS HE DOING HERE!?"
Ren's scream carried through the house as he walked into the living room and saw Nichrome calmly sipping his morning coffee.
The former Priest smiled with amusement upon the reaction, but said nothing. At the same time Jun's head peered from the kitchen. She looked at her brother with surprise in her blue eyes.
"What do you mean 'what'? Nichrome-kun is living with us, have you already forgot?" She asked.
Ren blinked and tried to focus as the memories of the previous day started to come back; meeting Nichrome in the park, melted ice-cream, a party at home, wine… He knew well enough that he didn't get drunk – he stopped drinking as soon as he started feeling light-headed. He was tired, so he went to sleep. Maybe I forgot about him because I fell asleep while being tipsy…? Ren thought to himself. He wasn't actually sure – he wasn't used to states like this. He was a person who didn't actually drink too much.
Feeling that his mental balance has been somewhat restored, he came up to the table and took a seat as far from the smiling brunette as it was possible. Soon Jun came in holding a tray with a tea pot, three goblets, and breakfast. She laid it on the table top so that everyone had a comfortable access to it, and sat down between the two boys.
"Nee-san…"
"Hmm?"
"Where is Pai-Long?"
"Oh, I put him under a regeneration spell I have learned a few days ago. After the restoration of his body is completed he'll be almost like alive!" She answered, with a daydreaming tone and closed eyes.
"Pervert." Ren muttered with a sigh of resignation, making Nichrome giggle at the one-word statement. "You never change, do you?"
Jun's only answer was a warm, joyful smile.

Not even twenty minutes passed since the three shamans finished their breakfast, and Jun went out to work, leaving the two teenagers alone. Ren had to admit it to himself – the atmosphere was much more comfortable than he initially thought it would be.
He eyed the sitting in front of him Nichrome, taking the opportunity that has been given to him by the fact that he was reading a book. Perhaps living with him won't be so bad, anyway…
"You really think so?"
The Chinese shrugged, glaring at the smiling brunette with consternation. What the… how did he-
"How did I know what you were thinking?"
Ren nodded in response, still staring at the former Priest with disbelief.
Nichrome's smile widened. "I didn't. I was simply guessing."
Ren felt a flush of anger come to his face. He was just playing with me? "Whatever. What are you actually reading?"
"Oh, this?" The brunette asked, closing the book, and lifting it a bit as if he wanted to take a closer look at it's cover. "The title is 'Psychology on the spiritual background." A very interesting one, I must say, though the title may not show it."
"Don't judge a book by the cover, ka?" Ren muttered.
Nichrome smiled at that comment "Exactly." He ignored the cold glare the younger boy sent him through the room.
For a few minutes they both became silent.
"So… how did it actually all happen?"
"What do you mean?" Nichrome lifted his head, looking at the Chinese with interest in his grey eyes.
"You know… what the real story was since the first we met up until now…"
"Oh…" Nichrome half-closed his eyes, giving the dark-haired boy a really soft smile. "You wanna hear it?" Ren nodded. "You really do?" This time the nod was more irritated and impatient. "Ok then… but I warn you that it'll be a long story."
Okinata: Wow, the second longest chapter, I guess…
Ren: Eh? Where did Kaoru-chan and that SasUUUke guy go?
Okinata: Hm? Oh, SasUUUke had to go home, and Kaoru is in my wardrobe. –blushes- We're waiting until my parents will go away…
Ren: -shock- WHAT!?
Okinata: Oi, keep it down, I don't want them to find out! They'd kill me, or even worse!
Ren: -raising an eyebrow- Worse?
Okinata: Take away all my mangas, animes, books, and even PlayStation!
Ren: You kidding! (O,O)
Okinata: No, I'm not!
Ren: They're almost like my parents! God, I know the pain… Oh, by the way, why is your boyfriend called SasUUUke instead of Sasuke?
Okinata: Hihi… It's a honour to the polish dubs! Ya know, the "u" in Japanese is often silent, and the polish dubbers always accent it, so it's "MosUke" instead of "Mos'ke" and "SasUke" instead of "Sas'ke".
Kaoru: -a quiet voice from the other room- Oi, nee-chan, I guess they're away!
Okinata: -immediately turning around- A…! Hai! I'm coming! –with a sweet voice, and all cheerful-
Ren: H-hey, and what about me…? -sighs, because Okinata is already gone- Sonna… Hidoi…
