*~Chapter 2: Serious Conflictions~*
"You have a crush on him!" Yuki yelled, forming a snowball in her clenched hand, about to throw it at her own sister.
Sakura flinched.
Sakura created a large ray of light, and shot it at the snowball, making it melt into water. Cold water, obviously.
"Why are you so mad, Yuki?! I'm your own sister, you wouldn't dare fight me!" Sakura said, pleading that her sister would stop.
Yuki took a deep breath. "I'm going for a walk in the snow." She said, glaring at Sakura coldly, even more colder than how she glares at Kaito.
A shiver ran down Sakura's spine. It's the aftereffect of Yuki's glare. But it didn't effect Kaito. Why?
Yuki left the apartment, slamming the door and running down the hallway down the stairs, in hope of not running into Kaito.
Yuki.. Sakura said in her mind, hoping to reach Yuki.. Can you hear me, or are you too far already?
Here's how it works: Sakura and Yuki must be in a range of 3.5 miles of each other. It's not a very strong sister bond, you see.
Yuki heard her sister, but doesn't reply.
Please. Sakura pleaded once more.
No. A very cold voice replied. Not even sounding human, or like her sister, it sounded like empty nothingness.
Kaito was in the lobby of the building, the last floor, when Yuki ran out crying. Her tears turned to ice and disappeared as she ran out into the freezing winter air in just a skirt, boots, short sleeved shirt, and no jacket.
"Y-Yuki-chan?" Kaito looked up, as he felt a very cold presence nearby, but fading.
Kaito picked up his backpack and ran out, hoping to catch the running 'snowflake'.
"Yuki-chan! What's the rush?!" Kaito called.
"Go away, Kaito." Yuki said, stopping. She sniffled.
"Hey, Yuki-chan.." a concerned Kaito said.
"Pick your poison."
Yuki kept running, when Kaito tried to put his hand on Yuki's shoulder.
Kaito couldn't run any longer. Pick your poison? he questioned in his mind. Another voice was in his mind.
What was that, brother?
This must question you, reader. Kaito has a brother. He was kind of like a twin. His brother is adopted, but yet they could still speak in each other's minds.
Wait, what? another voice said.
Another question, you say? Kaito has another brother. They were all kind of like triplets. Both brothers who have spoken last are adopted.
'What was that, brother?' was Akaito Shion.
'Wait, what?' was Taito Shion.
As you have already met Kaito, Kaito is chill and laid-back.
Akaito is weird and mature.
Taito is very much tsundere and anti-social around everyone but his family.
The Shion family bond never breaks. Until the Hatsune family is introduced to them. Two girls, three boys. One boy will be left alone..or will they?
Ah, nothing, Taito and Akaito. Kaito said in his mind.
"Pick your poison..?" Kaito said now in real life, as the white sheets of snow lifted up and blew behind Kaito as he watched Yuki's faint shape across the parking lot fade.
"…No." Kaito understood now. He was to choose Yuki or Sakura…He didn't know which to choose, so he went home.
~4:30~
"Yuki has not come home yet, sorry." Sakura said at her door, when Kaito came back with the backpacks. It was his family's company so they made the backpacks lickety-split. But, Kaito came with one condition. Taito and Akaito.
"It okay if we come in?" Kaito asked. Sakura nodded. "Sure." she stepped aside and let Taito, Akaito, and Kaito inside.
The Shion Triplets sat down on the couch. Sakura sat on the chair in front of them. "It's nice to meet you, Taito and Akaito." Sakura said after Kaito introduced Taito and Akaito to Sakura. "I wish my sister Yuki was here, but she ran out this morning after Kaito came by." Sakura explained, leaving out the part how uh…you-know-crush-who-on-what.
"I was actually in the lobby when Yuki ran out." Kaito told Sakura.
"I ran after her, but when I did she just kept running. Then she stopped." Kaito said, looking at the floor.
"Pick your poison." Kaito said.
"She just said that, then began running again." he looked back up at Sakura. "Do you know what it means?"
Sakura had a 'Uh-no-totally-not-I-have-no-idea-what-you're-talking-about' face. You should probably know what this looks like.
"Uhm…I have to uh get ready for bed soon…" Sakura said.
"It's only 4:34." Kaito said.
"I-I get-go t-to bed early. W-Well, good-good-by-bye, S-S-ayon-Sayonara, boys." Sakura said, pushing them out the door.
"…Bye." Taito said.
"….Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Sayonara to you!" Akaito said.
"Sayonara, Sakura." Kaito said as he parted, with Taito and Akaito shortly following behind.
Yuki…Come home, please. Sakura thought, as she closed the door and leaned against it, sliding down to the ground.
"I need you home."
