CHAPTER 9

Kyoko's side.


The Sasagawa household was currently in the dining room, having their dinner together as a family, with all four of them conversing with one other like the happy and close family that they are.

"So," Sasagawa Kyohei suddenly begins, turning his gaze towards his youngest child. "How was your first day of grade school, Kyoko-chan?" He asks as he chews on a slice of roasted pork.

"It was pretty exciting, tou-san!" Kyoko beams brightly, as sets down her dining utensils on her plate so that she could start her explanation about her first day of grade school. "Yuuki-sensei's really nice! And we learned a lot today too! Oh yeah, I also made a new friend today, and Hana-chan doesn't find him annoying too!" She exclaims proudly and happily.

"Wow, really?!" Ryohei exclaims loudly as well, gray eyes gleaming brightly, as he looks at his sister. "THAT'S EXTREME, KYOKO!" He suddenly bursts out, standing up from his seat. "Who's your new friend?" He asks excitedly.

A woman with her long, silvery white hair pulled back into a high ponytail purses her lips before she sighs with a hopeless expression on her face. "Ryohei, honey, please sit down. We're having dinner now," Ryoko chastises softly, and Ryohei obediently sits down without protest. Then, she turns her honey-colored gaze to her daughter, expression going from stern to as eager. "What's their name?" she excitedly asks.

Kyoko giggles, a sheepish smile blooming upon her lips. "W-Well, his name is Sawada Tsunayoshi, but I call him Tsuna-kun," she says, looking carefully at her father, waiting for the reaction that she just knows that's about to happen.

And Kyoko is correct.

Her father immediately bolts upright from his chair as he slams his hands down onto the table, his gray eyes burning with flames within them, and the orange hair she's inherited from him billowing wildly as a dark aura encases him and shrouding the entire room with its taint. "WHAT?!" He booms loudly, clearly bewildered and outraged. "A boy?!" He exclaims.

Kyoko meekly nods her head in confirmation. "Yes, tou-san. A boy. But he's nice! Really, really nice! And he told me that I'm really pretty too!" She tells him, her left hand rubbing the spot where the words should be curving around her right waist.

Her father places his hand above his heart, and looks as if he's about to go into cardiac arrest.

Ryoko sighs at her husband's dramatic personality, and pulls him down back to his seat with a swat at the back of his head. "We're having dinner, dear. Please be a good example to the kids and refrain from standing up again or you won't have a room to go back to anymore," she says, smiling oh so sweetly.

Kyohei numbly nods his head.

"And that's great, Kyoko-chan," Ryoko continues, smiling lovingly at her daughter. "I'm so happy to hear that you've made a new friend!" She says, clapping a few times before clasping her hands together.

"Is he an extreme guy?!" Ryohei demands, face set into a determined and firm expression.

Kyoko's smile is fond now. "Not really, Onii-san," she says. "He's really shy, so he's not as extreme as you are. But nobody's as extreme as Onii-san is, anyways," she adds once she sees the disappointment on his face.

Ryohei manages a grin, and wraps his arms around her into a big hug since they're sitting next to each other. "Thanks, Kyoko-chan!" He says before pulling away.

And then, dinner continued on as normal, albeit with Kyohei sulkily poking his food and Ryoko shooting him warning glares; other than that,d inner was as joyful as any other meals were between the Sasagawa household.

"Oh!" Kyoko says, feigning surprised, because she really didn't want her father to ask her why she didn't bother to mention this little detail before. "I almost forgot!" She exclaims, making surprise lace around the tone of her voice. "When Yuuki-sensei made us introduce ourselves to each other, we found out that we were soulmates too!" She says.

"WHAT?!" Surprisingly, it was Ryohei who yells this; this time, however, he didn't jump up from his seat, having already learned his lesson. "That's extremely not fair!" He says, pouting, with his cheeks puffed up like a squirrel's when it has nuts shoved inside its mouth. "You already have one! Why do you get to find another one before I get to find my first?!" He says, slumping down in his seat.

Ryoko reaches over the table to flick her son on the forehead, which makes him yelp and cover the slowly reddening area. "Now, Ryohei, honey, that's not very nice to say. You should be happy that your sister found another one of her soulmates. You should be congratulating her, not get jealous of her," she scolded lightly, before her eyes softened. "I know you're sad, honey, but I'm sure that you'll all of your soulmates one day. I'm sure of that. After all," she says, her expression twisting to display how much she loves and is proud of her son. "You're an extreme boy. And no extreme boy live without an extreme life, ne?" she says, patting her son the head.

Ryohei nods silently, before mumbling out an apology to his sister for being mean, but Kyoko just smiles patiently and gives her older brother a big hug, squeezing tightly, because she knows that it must be hard for him to have not found a single soulmate whilst she's found two out of her seven.

Ryoko smiles fondly at her children, before looking down with a fond yet exasperated expression on her face at her husband, who's currently writhing on the ground, doing fake and very dramatic spasms.

She sighs. Of course she gets the weirdest soulmate ever.


Eri: I find the Sasagawa patriarch and matriarch names kinda funny ehehe. Just search it up and you'll see some characters with the same names and you'll understand if you're an intense anime fan haha. And I always imagined Ryohei to get his mother's hair color and his father's eyes, whilst Kyoko inherits her father's hair color and her mother's eyes haha, idk why. Choco and I argued about this for a while, before she agreed with my decision.
