CHAPTER SEVEN

Silly Kids Around the House

The motor ride experience from LME to the convenience store almost got the creeps out of Kyoko. Her senpai is driving really fast almost like the maglev trains in the subway. It's like a usual 5 minute ride turned out to reach their destination in more or less a couple of minutes. She noted to herself that she must get used to this new routine.

Once they reached the hotel, she immediately went to the kitchen to prepare their dinner and forbid Cain from entering. She insisted that he should take a shower first and reminded him not to smoke.

After eating their dinner, Setsu excused herself to use the bathroom while Cain rested himself on the couch and turned on the television. He grabbed the remote from the center table and flipped some channels that are interesting to watch. So far, he hasn't found something nice to watch until channel one is back. He scanned a few channels again and at last one caught his attention. Lucky for him, the present channel has just started with its opening theme. He mused to himself and paid his full attention on the TV screen.

Setsu just went out of the bathroom and heard a familiar melody. This alerted her and quickly rushed to the living room and saw what Cain now is watching.

"Eeeeekkk! Tsuruga-san is watching Box R! I can't believe that he watches some kind of teenage drama. Oh no, he's going to see me as Natsu. It's so embarrassing! He might find something wrong about my way of acting Natsu and he will for sure criticize me for my lack of capabilities to portray the perfect Natsu! Oh my, think, Kyoko! I must stop him! Wait, he's Cain Heel right now, right? Still, he's Tsuruga-san!" she mentally screamed, thinking of a way to stop Ren from watching further.

What is showing now is a cool and sexy looking female glancing at her fellow schoolmate who is so proud of herself that she had a new boyfriend. By the way, her name is Fuji Sawako, known to be one of the campus' bitches. Majority of her classmates hated her and it's so irritating that she kept on blabbering about how skillful her newfound boyfriend in the bedroom. This time, her stupid speeches annoyed Natsu and her gang and all they wanted to do is to shut this useless bitch for good.,,,,

"Nii-san!" Setsu shouted at her brother's back. Cain turned his back and stared at her sister with his puzzled face.

"What is it, Setsu" he asked coolly.

"Why are you watching that!" she pointed angrily at the TV screen.

"What's wrong with this show, Setsu? It's Box R." he answered casually nonchalantly. 'I see her point. She's just self-conscious of the drama she's in.'

"I knew it! You like those type of girls. Of all channels to watch, yet you chose that? I don't want you watching that drama! Change that right away, Nii-san!" she insisted, snatching the remote from her brother's hand.

"Wait, Setsu. Don't be like that. How many times do I have to repeat myself? And I swear that there is not a single channel that is showing something good. All are boring and I want something different. Give me that remote or you else you'll regret". He defended, trying to steal the remote from her.

"I don't trust you, Nii-san! I believe, you sometimes watch Discovery channel or National Geographic channel. I heard that they are going to show new models of guns and it is showing right now in this time!" she persisted, fighting her brother from getting the remote.

"Nah… I find it boring to watch that today" Cain complained like a little kid.

She ran around the living room and Cain was too fast to block her way. Running from here and there, she managed to reach the kitchen but unluckily, it turned out to be a dead end for her.

"Nii-san, I don't want you to watch that Mogami girl on TV!" she exclaimed.

Cain gave her a devilish grin and slowly walked towards her.

"You have no way out now, Setsu. Just give that remote back to me and you're free from punishment!" he said.

"No way, Nii-san! As if I believe you!" she bickered while protecting the remote in her hands.

"Okay, if that's what you wish and you leave me no choice, Setsu." He said with an insolent smile.

He walked closer to her in an intimate distance and quickly lifted her on his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and brought her on the living room.

"Put me down, you stupid Nii-san! She screamed while pounding her fists on her brother's back. This made Ren's amusement grew further.

She's surprisingly light as if he's just laying a feather on his shoulder. Once they are in the living room, he dropped her on the couch and pinned her by grabbing her wrist and trapped her legs. He successfully grasped the remote from her clutch and placed it on the center table.

"Let me see, what do you get from being naughty again, Setsu?" he asked her playfully.

'I'm doomed! Stupid Setsu. Always get rids of my true self. This is not so good. I can see all the thoughts that he is planning to do on me! Waahh! Forgive me, Tsuruga-san for being not so careful of Setsu!'

"Tonight, you will probably enjoy this punishment" he said.

There, he started to tickle on her sides and this made her laugh out louder when he poked her on the most ticklish part of her rib

"HAHAHAHAH! Cain-niisan! S..Stop ..it! Stop hAHAHAH,,,, St…op HAHAHAHAHAH! Tickling me…. HAHAHHAHAHAH NII-SAA- HAahahahah!" she said while laughing, at the same time fighting to get rid of Cain's hands on her body. It's so hard to catch her brother's hand and she felt so defenseless on countering on him!

"PLEASE! Cain-niisan! IHAHAHHAHA ! I Hahahahahah Surrender!" she pleaded while laughing out louder.

"Huh? What did you say, Setsu? I don't understand a single word you are saying. All I can hear are HAHAHAHs. Please talk properly, Setsu." he dumbly replied while tickling her up to her neck.

This is starting to piss her. She knows well that her brother understood her but he just enjoy teasing her to no end. A light bulb suddenly popped on her head and pursues the idea that she would like to try it right away.

Cain continued his way of tickling her until she just unexpectedly went silent. Curious of what just happened; he checked the face of his sister that is facing on the seat. The sight made him worry and lifted her chin a little to check the cause of her silence.

"Setsu-" he called

Staring at him now is a teary-eyed Setsu that looks painful.

"Setsu!" he exclaimed in a whisper. He placed her on his lap and pulled her to his chest and rubbed her back.

"Ssshh, Setsu. I'm so sorry. I was so carried away of punishing you playfully. I shouldn't have gone further. I wasn't aware that I was already hurting you. Forgive me, Setsu. Please don't cry I'll do anything what you wish. Just please don't cry. I can't forgive myself for making you cry." He repeatedly pleaded and it made him more anxious that she didn't gave him a reply. Guilty of his actions, he attempted to apologize again.

"Setsu…. I'm really sorry. Please talk to me. You're making me more-" he was cut when she started to shake and started to sniff. And this frightened Ren more but then…

"Hehehehe…." She snickered and it somehow mystified a worried Ren. Then her snicker turned into a snort.

"HAHAHAHHA! HAHAHH! I can't help it! HAHAHAH! Nii-san, you're face! HAHAH!" she laughed even more and drop from his lap to the floor and started hammering the floor with her fist.

"Setsu… This means you were not crying?" He asked annoyingly.

"I'm sorry, Nii-san. That's what you get from not listening to me. What if I really was hurting, What would you do? She asked him with her strict voice, implying to her brother of his disapproving motives earlier.

A heavy silence was created around the atmosphere. Kyoko looking at him sternly while Cain is looking a little hurt of her words. Honestly, Cain would be in deep trouble if he really did hurt her. But then, this silence was disturbed by his sister who started to giggle on her own. She just can't forget how her brother looks like when he was so worried about her.

"Nice one, Setsu." He scoffed at her but it Setsu eventually shrug at him.

"I'm really sorry, Nii-san." She sat beside him and gave him a sweet peck on his cheek.

Well, that was surprising...

"Kyoko, let's drop the act for a while. I mean, right now. We have to talk." he blurted all of the sudden with a serious tone in his voice.

'Great. I knew it! he's angry at me. Tsuruga-san! don't eat me alive!'

Phew! Now I'm done with this chapter…

Next time, it's time to face reality.
