Chapter Two
'Onee-chan never came back last night.' Kokoro thought to herself as she paced back and forth, worry very obvious on her face. 'What if something bad has happened to her?!' she mentally exclaimed in distress. 'What's she's been eaten by Rin's tigers?!'
She imaged the redheaded young man laughing evilly as her beloved older cousin was eaten alive by large, man-eating felines. With that thought in mind, Kokoro rushed out a Makoto's house and ran straight for the palace.
'I'm coming, Onee-chan!'
Meanwhile, at the palace
Haru and Rin were sleeping on his large bed, with super luxurious sheets, with nothing on them. The ravenette had her head and hands on the redhead's chest while he had his arm around her, grazing her thigh and backside.
Suddenly, there was a loud banging sound at the door. The noise had caused the two young lovers to wake up.
"What's going on?" Haru asked, feeling annoyed about being woken up so early.
"I have no clue." Rin replied.
As soon as he said that, the door burst open and a male guard came barging in the room.
"My lord!" the guard called. However, he stopped when he saw the scene before him.
His king in bed with a beautiful woman and with no clothes on. The woman's large breasts were clearly seen and he couldn't help but stare at them.
"What is it?" Rin asked, sounding obviously irritated.
The guard didn't answer, just staring at something in front of him. The young man looked to see where exactly he was looking and saw that he was staring at the ravenette's naked breasts. So Rin did the only thing he could thing of, which was to cover them with his own hands. Haru didn't notice that her breasts were exposed due to being half-asleep was surprised when Rin put his hand on her left one while using his arm to cover her right one.
"Rin, what are you doing?" Haru asked him, oblivious to the guard standing in the room.
Not saying anything, Rin grabbed her chin and turned it to face the guard. Quickly realizing what was happening, the young woman grabbed a part of the sheets and used it cover her chest.
"Now, what is it?" the redheaded young man asked the dazed guard.
Said guard blushed. "Oh, yes! This little girl suddenly barged into the palace, yelling to find her 'Onee-chan' and to save her from tigers and the shark man."
'Tigers and shark man?' Haru thought to herself.
"A little girl you said?" Rin questioned.
"Yes!" the guard replied. "We have her in the kitchen now, trying to calm her down."
"What does she look like?" the ravenette asked.
"She looks to be about ten years old, has violet hair, ocean blue eyes, and two strands of hair tied up on either side of her head." the guard described.
Haru's eyes widened in realization. Rin immediately noticed her expression.
"Okay, you can leave now." he said to the guard.
"Yes, My lord." the guard saluted before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
Once the guard left, Rin took one of the young woman's hands on his. "Do you know who this little girl is?" he asked his lover.
"She's my cousin. Her name is Kokoro." Haru told him, looking him straight in the eye. "She's probably here because I didn't come back last night and came to look for me." she said with guilt in her voice. "I need to go see her." she said as made her way to get off the bed.
"Wait, Haru." the redheaded young man said as he grabbed her wrist.
"I don't have time for this." the young woman stated. "I need to see Kokoro."
"Are you sure you want to see her dressed like that?" Rin asked her, pointing at her body.
"Eh?" Haru looked at herself and saw that she was still naked.
"Personally, I love that look on you."
The young woman threw a pillow in his face.
"Where are my clothes, Rin?" she asked.
"In the closet." Rin told her, a smirk on his face.
Haru went over to the closet and opened up the door. Inside the closet, she saw a beautiful, blue silk top, which looked like it would show off her cleavage, and a pair of matching pant bottoms.
"Rin, what are these?" Haru asked.
"Your clothes." Rin replied, getting dressed himself.
"But these aren't mine." the ravenette said while putting on the clothes.
The redheaded young man, now wearing pants, went over to her and wrapped his arms around her waist. "I know. But, after last night's actives, I thought you needed new ones." he remarked.
"How thoughtful of you." Haru commented dryly. "Considering you're the one who practically ripped my clothes off."
Rin chuckled as he smirked. "It's your fault for being so damn sexy."
"These clothes look really expensive." the tall young woman said in monotone.
"But they look amazing on you." the young man complimented as he started to kiss her neck.
"Mmmmm." Haru moaned from his action. "R-Rin, I-I have to get K-Koroko..." she told him as she tried to get out of his arms, trying to get to her cousin.
Rin stopped kissing her neck and started to nuzzle her neck.
"Rin?" the ravenette questioned.
The redheaded young man tightened his hold on her. "Will you come back?" he asked softly.
Haru was taken back by his request. "Rin..."
His majesty looked into her ocean blue eyes and the young woman saw that his own had small tears pricking the corners of his eyes.
"Of course I will, my king." Haru told him while blushing slightly.
Upon hearing her answer, Rin smiled widely and covered her lips with his own, kissing her passionately. After a while, they pulled away from each other, both panting a bit.
"I'll see you later." the ravenette said as she started to walk towards the door.
"Yeah, I'll you soon." the redheaded young man said, smiling as he watched her leave the room.
Meanwhile
"Where is my Onee-chan?!" Kokoro demanded from the guards that were keeping her from running around the palace to look for her cousin.
"For the hundredth time, kid, I don't know who that is!" one of the guards yelled at her.
"You're terrible at your job!" the ten year old yelled back.
Then the door to the room opened. Kokoro's two strands of hair perked up when she knew immediately who it was.
"Onee-chan! You're alive and you haven't been eaten by tigers!" the violet haired girl cried happily as she ran over to the ravenette and hugged her with all her might.
Haru looked down at her cousin and felt guilty for making her worry so much. "Yeah, I'm sorry for not coming home last night." she apologized as she hugged the ten year old back.
"I'm just glad you're safe." Kokoro told her. Then she noticed the young woman's clothes and saw that they were really fancy, like royalty. "Wow, Onee-chan, you look beautiful, like a queen!" she exclaimed, her eyes all sparkly as she stared at her older cousin. "And it shows off your curves!" she remarked as she patted the ravenette's backside.
Haru blushed from the little girl's comments. "You're just exaggerating, Kokoro." she said.
"But you really, really do." the little girl insisted. Then she grabbed her cousin's hand and started to walk towards the door. "Come on, Onee-chan. let's go home." she said, smiling.
Just as the two cousins were heading for the door, they saw something, or someone. Kokoro glared up at Rin, angry that he had kept the young woman away for so long.
"Get out of the way." the violet haired girl demanded, standing in front Haru to guard her, her arms spread out. "We would like to go home.
"I'm just making sure you and your cousin are getting home safely." Rin told her.
Kokoro glared at him harder and growled, not caring if he was the king. 'Yeah right, you liar!' she mentally yelled. 'He just wants to hurt Onee-chan!' then she grabbed her cousin's hand and ran in the opposite direction. "No! I won't let you feed Onee-chan to your stupid tigers!" she declared.
'Tigers again?' Haru thought as she was dragged away by the ten year old.
Later that night, at Makoto's house
The ravenette was busy getting her cousin to sleep, tucking her into bed.
"Ne, will you please stay with me until I fall asleep, Onee-chan?" Kokoro asked with her cute puppy dog eyes.
Haru, being a sucker for those eyes, smiled. "Okay." she said as she laid down in bed with the little girl.
The violet haired girl smiled as she wrapped her arms around her cousin and rested her head on her chest. Soon, Kokoro feel asleep, snoring softly. Haru carefully and gently removed the ten year old's arms from around her. Getting out of the bed, the young woman gave Kokoro a kiss on the forehead. Then she went over to the window and climbed out. A few moments after the ravenette left the room, the violet haired girl opened her eyes and saw that her cousin was not there.
'Where's Onee-chan?!' Kokoro thought, worried.
Then she heard a noise outside the window and went to check it out. She saw her cousin leaving the house and going who knows where.
Haru was making her way to the palace with a little unknown follower trailing behind her silently.
'Where is she going?' Kokoro asked herself mentally. 'Where could she go at this time of night?'
After a while, the violet haired girl saw her older cousin come to a stop in front of the large building she was at earlier today.
'Why would Onee-chan come back to the palace?' the ten year old mentally questioned as she watched her the ravenette walk through the door and into the palace. She gave a silent gasp. 'Is it possible that she's being blackmailed by Rin and he's forcing her to his concubine and doing indecent things to her?!' she thought as she imaged the redheaded king doing indecent and perverted things to her cousin. 'I'll save you, Onee-chan!' she mentally vowed as she raced inside the palace.
"Where am I?" Kokoro asked herself after she realized she was lost inside the palace. "Why does this palace have to be so big?" she questioned as she wandered around, looking for any sign of her cousin. "I'll never find Onee-chan at this rate." she remarked, sighing sadly.
Then the ten year old noticed a door that was cracked open a bit. Curiosity getting the best of her, Kokoro silently walked over to the door and took a peek through the crack and looked inside the room. Her eyes widened at what she saw.
'Onee-chan?!' the violet haired girl thought in disbelief.
What she saw was her older cousin sitting on a bed with a certain redheaded king, both of their lips together in a passionate make-out session.
'So I was right about Rin making her his concubine!' Kokoro mentally exclaimed, frowning angrily. 'That jerk as a lot of nerve! I must stop this!'
Then she saw Rin gently push Haru down onto the bed, his hands traveling down her body and tracing her curves.
'Then again...' the ten year old started to think, her face heating up from watching the scene. 'They look busy. Maybe I should come back another time.'
Just as she was about to turn around and leave, Kokoro suddenly tripped on her feet, falling forward and inside the room.
"Ouch..." the young girl said softly.
"Kokoro?!" Haru exclaimed, both her and Rin immediately noticing her after she fell into the room. "What are you doing here?"
Instead of answering, Kokoro just laughed nervously from being caught.
Later
"So, how did you explain things to your cousin?" the redheaded young man asked the ravenette, both of them standing outside on a balcony.
Haru sighed. "I told her the truth." she told him. "I figured it would be best to stop lying to her after all she saw."
"I take it she didn't take the news well?" Rin questioned.
"She took it a bit better than I expected." the young woman said. "But she's not really all that happy you and I are in a relationship, though."
"She doesn't like me all that much." the young king stated, chuckling lowly.
"She thought you were blackmailing me to be your concubine." Haru told him, smiling a bit as she remembered what her cousin had said what was going through he mind.
Rin's chuckle turned into a laugh. "What an active imagination." he remarked.
"Yeah..." the ravenette agreed softly.
"What's wrong?" the redheaded king asked, noticing the troubled look on his lover's face.
"I don't think that Kokoro dislikes you all that much." Haru said. "I think she's just fearing the thought of you taking me away from her."
"What do you mean?" Rin asked.
"Well, Kokoro's father, my uncle from my father's side, died when she was five." the young woman told him. "After that, her mother become a bitter person. One day, she suddenly disappeared, leaving Kokoro behind. My parents live in a different city now, so I was the only one who could take care of her. To Kokoro, I'm the only family she has left, and she's afraid of that I'll abandon her one day like her mother."
"I see..." was all the young man said.
"Onee-chan..."
Turning their heads, the two young adults saw a certain violet haired girl standing behind him.
"Kokoro, what is it?" Haru asked.
"Well, um..." the young girl started to say, not looking at either of them in the eyes. "I just wanted to apologize for jumping to such wild conclusions."
"I'm not the one you should apologize to." the ravenette told her. "Apologize to Rin."
"Eh? To him?" Kokoro questioned.
"Kokoro..." Haru said sternly.
"Fine." the ten year old huffed. She looked at the young man. "I-I'm sorry for accusing you of doing mean and indecent things to Onee-chan..." she apologized. "O-Onii-chan..." she added.
"Onii-chan?" Rin repeated.
"Well, since you're dating my cousin, I thought it would alright to call you that." Kokoro explained, blushing slightly. "Do you have a problem with that?" she asked.
"No." the redheaded king replied, smiling at the young girl. "Not at all, Kokoro."
"Good." the violet haired girl said. "However, if you ever hurt Onee-chan, I won't be so nice next time, okay?" she added, smiling sweetly.
"Kokoro, stop threatening people." Haru scolded.
"I just want to make he's clear on the whole thing, that's all." Kokoro retorted.
The ravenette sighed. "I'm sorry about her, Rin." she apologized.
"It's fine." Rin reassured her.
"Now then, we need to talk about you sneaking off on your own late at night." Haru said to her cousin.
"Eh?! I'm trouble?" the ten year old questioned in disbelief. "Like you have any room to talk about sneaking off late at night."
"It's a different case for me." the ravenette retorted. "I'm an adult. You're a child. And you're grounded for a week."
"That is so not fair!" Kokoro shouted.
"Life's not fair." Haru told her in monotone.
Pouting angrily, the violet haired turned around and stomped away, leaving the two lovers alone.
"So you actually can be strict with her, huh?" Rin remarked. "I figured you to be the type to spoil and dote on your cousin."
"What gave you that impression?" the young woman asked. "Nevermind that. Kokoro is really cute when she's angry, isn't she?" she said, an adorning look in eyes, despite her face bring expressionless.
'I take it back.' the young man thought to himself. 'She totally has a cousin complex.'
"Well, I should go and take Kokoro home." Haru informed.
Just as she was about to walk away and leave, Rin grabbed her wrist to stop her. Then he turned her around and covered her mouth with his, kissing her passionately. Haru's eyes widened slightly from his actions. However, she got over it and kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck. Then, after a few moments, they both away from each other, panted a bit.
"When you come back, I'll make sure no one interrupts us." Rin told her, placing his forehead against her's.
"Idiot..." was all Haru said, blushing a little.
The two stared at each other for a while until they leaned forward and kissed each other again.
