A/N: Sorry for the long disappearance...school...I am to be a senior when classes start again...then again, its not an excuse that I was so busy preparing stuff for my college app...so...SORRY! Will Post the next chappie tomorrow, promise!

She sighed, having had reached her house safely from the aftermath of tonight's strange party. She hung up her jersey, Karupin walking up from his nap to welcome his mistress.

She smiled tiredly at the cat "I am back…"

A loud crash from the kitchen had her hand jumping for the door. "Ry-o-ma!" A deep familiar voice bellowed

"Oi! Chibisuke! Where have you been? It's a school night! Your not suppose to stay up late party- OYAJI! GET OFF OF ME!" Another voice bellowed from the kitchen as more crashes were heard.

She quickly scooped up Karupin, as she tiptoed to her kitchen, she peeked and watched the horror that was once a spotless paradise. "Hey" She greeted them simply

She watched on as her father had her half brother in a leg lock, laughing his head off wildly before grinning at her. "Oyaji, Ryoga" She nodded tiredly

"Where have you been?" Ryoga asked, still struggling to get his old man off of him.

She hid her yawn "Practicing…we have another game soon" She tiredly answered.

He glowered "Yeah right, practice at this time of night? What stupid bumbling idiot makes little girls practice until 8 in the evening?"

As he walked home Tezuka sneezed, Oishi fussing over him immediately.

She just shrugged carelessly, watching the two struggle "And why the hell is your fridge only stocked up on Ponta? What the hell do you eat every night?" This time her father complained loudly

The stunning girl just rolled her cat like golden eyes "I've got practice early in the morning. Leave my Ponta alone…" She spoke tiredly.

Her training regime had been tripled as both Tezuka and Inui had noticed that she hadn't been using her full capabilities yet, they were still gauging it out as she kept going beyond their expectations despite her whines of her sleep deprivation.

Karupin snuggled closer to his mistress, seeking her warmth and finding it in her embrace. She faintly smiled down at her cat "You guys be gone by the time I wake up alright?" She murmured as they continued to struggle with each other. Screams of pain and torture echoing through the night.


"WAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!" Ryoma's eyes shot open, her hand quickly grabbing the taser she kept by her bed.

Karupin calmly jumped off his mistress, knowing that the combination of drowsiness and a potentially lethal weapon would not do kindly for any human within a 5 meter vicinity of his mistress.

"Karupin, stay here" Ryoma whispered, turning on her taser , her hand on the door, her body ready to spring into action.

To her surprise, the doorknob turned. She jumped back, narrowly missing the impact before thrusting the taser into her unknown intruder

"WAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!" Another yell ensued in the hotel room as she pulled back the taser when her drowsy mind had finally attached the face she saw to a familiar name.

"Ryoga? What are you doing here?" She asked quietly, watching her brother's weird jerky and spasmic movement on the floor, and aftermath of the taser,

Her father grinned, his head popping out from the open door "Mornin Ryoma" he greeted

She sighed. When will she ever have a normal morning?

"Ah, your exempted from school today. Already called. Were moving to a new house" He casually spoke as if talking about the weather

She looked at him pointedly, damn it. He better have called Ryuuzaki too or her training regime would be quadrupled from the triple she had just received yesterday. Sigh, stupid impulsive Echizen males.

"Where am I going to live this time?" She asked, having only been living in the hotel for a few months.

He grinned madly as he began to pull his only male child outside his little girl's temporary room. "Someplace closer to Seigaku, its got tons of space and a tennis court too!"

She could only bite her lip to keep her anger in check "I asked where oyaji, not what was in it"

He just chuckled and messed up her hair "You'll find out soon enough Ryoma, now go pack up while I go drain all that useless Ponta down the drain"

Her eyes widened in horror "W-what did you just say you were doing to my Ponta?" She asked, her fingers quick to turn on the taser once more

He hadn't a chance to answer as sparks flew once more, another body joining Ryoga's on the floor. "Be thankful I didn't use a knife, baka Oyaji!" She yelled, leaping through the two as she ran to save what was left of her daily drink.

Karupin nudged one of the bodies on the floor as his mistress wailed over the loss of her purple milk. Humans were such strange beings….loud…noisy… his mistress sometimes as well….but then again it was only her mistress who he could tolerate.


"Oyaji! Were going out to buy groceries!" Ryoga yelled from the bottom of the long grand staircase, Ryoma on the way down, her clothes casual and simple as she used the marble railway of the stairs to help her slide down.

"I still say we should just hire a maid" Their perverted father sighed loudly

"Nanako is on her way" Ryoga reminded him

The two men sighed heavily as Ryoma reached the bottom of the stairs "So whats up?" She asked the two men

They looked at her incredulously; she made a fist to keep herself from slapping the two men "One day you guys cant even stand in the same room and the next you guys want to live in the same house?"

The men looked to each other and just shrugged "We made peace" They answered in chorus

She didn't believe a word they were saying but seeing as how both of them had just chorused, she wouldn't be getting an answer now for sure. "Leave my Ponta alone" She sighed

Her father frowned "I don't even know where you placed it"

A smile graced her face "And you never will" before she walked out, Ryoga trailing behind her.

As the doors closed behind the siblings walking in the afternoon sun, Karupin hastily ran down the stairs, tackling Nanjirou to the ground

"Woah there little kitty, what do you have here?" He inquired, pulling out Ryoma's vibrating cell phone from its mouth

He read the caller i.d. "Stupid…butt head…the third…huh, strange name..." He mused and stupidly answered the phone

"Hello?" He half greeted and half asked.

It was dead silence on the other end of the phone.

Nanjirou frowned "Oi, who is this?" he asked, more seriously this time.

Screams and yells of "CHIBI'S BEEN KIDNAPPED!" and "A GUY ANSWERED OCHIBI'S PHONE!" resounded on the other line, as well as other terms of concern

Nanjirou kept silent, half seething that his daughter had male friends as well, slightly forgetting that she was part of the males tennis club.

A soft toned, motherly voice finally had hold of the phone "Hello?" Nanjirou asked once more

"Good afternoon sir, is Ryoma there?" The motherly voice questioned

"Nope, she's out at the shopping district" He answered

"SHOPPING DISTRICT!" another loud and boisterous voice bellowed, a few smack sounds resounded once again.

"Momo! Stop being so loud!" The motherly voice scolded, going into a full brown rant much to Nanjirou's surprise.

Nanjirou slowly put the phone down, after having been ignored by the person on the other side. "Ryoma has strange friends" He spoke, looking down at the cat.

Karupin simply nodded before walking off to find a napping spot.
