Note: Yeah, so I'm feeling sick for the moment...and a little guilty of turning my back on Frau and his gang and concentrated on Ayanami and Co. ...but then again, I'll get back to them sooner or later. For now, enjoy this new (and last) installment.

~oo~

Ayanami woke up from his sleep and wondered why he has a splitting head ache. He doesn't remember drinking the previous night. As he sat up, he was greeted with Hyuuga's face smiling at him. For a moment they stared at each other.

"What are you doing here in my room, Hyuuga?" Ayanami said.

"Don't be so testy, Aya-tan." Hyuuga said. "It's too early in the morning."

"Then tell me first what are you doing here before I shoot you with a gun."

"Ok, ok." Hyuuga said, settling down. "I'm here to tell you that my sister's gonna stay here for a bit more longer."

"Says who?" Ayanami said.

"Me." Hyuuga said. "I kind of realized last night that I really missed my sister so I want to be with her as long as time permits it."

Ayanami only looked at him. As long as Lizelle doesn't get into their work, it should be fine. And if she does, it would be Hyuuga's responsibility.

~oo~

Later on in his office, Ayanami was making some notes on a piece of paper regarding deploying some officers to the 6th district when Hyuuga barged into him again.

"Hello, Aya-tan."

"What is it now?"

"Well, I was just wondering if you could accompany my sister around town?" Hyuuga said, taking out a toffy apple out of nowhere. "Since the women outside seems to be hostile towards her..."

"Why don't you go and accompany her? She's your sister after all."

"I have to catch up with the papers that seems to be piling up in my office, and I need Konatsu to help."

"Then keep her here." Ayanami said. "I have no time to play as tourist guide."

"Please, Aya-tan? Just for the day?"

"Go bother someone else, Hyuuga."

"That's right, brother." Lizelle said from the doorway. "I can keep myself entertained here for the time being, until you and Konatsu are free to show me around town."

Hyuuga only stared at his sister. It seems like his plan is going to backfire on him. Ayanami was just looking at Lizelle, while Lizelle returned his look without an expression. Apparently, Hyuuga didn't notice this.

"Fine, I give up." Hyuuga said, as he hung his head in defeat. "But for today only. I'll try again some other time."

Hyuuga left the room, leaving Lizelle and Ayanami alone.

"Just what is wrong with your brother?" Ayanami said, resuming his note taking. Lizelle occupied the usual seat her brother sat on whenever he's in Ayanami's office.

"I'm not really sure." Lizelle said. "He's always like that, right?"

"He's extra annoying when you're around. It seems like he's pushing you on me."

"He is."

"Doesn't he know?"

"By his actions and attempts, I guess he doesn't know."

"Then why don't you tell him? So finally he'll stop rubbing on us."

"If I tell him, he'll announce it to the whole world. And then after that, he'll be like a mother fussing over me. He'll take it up to himself to make a grand wedding."

"Wedding?"

"Yeah..."

Ayanami only stared at her. Lizelle turned to look at him.

"Surely you don't want that?" Lizelle said.

"Not now." Ayanami replied. Lizelle smiled.

"I'll be waiting for that day then."

Lizelle stood and went for the door. When she reach out a hand to the door knob, she was held back by a hug.

"This is quite unexpected display of affection, Ayanami-sama." Lizelle said. "Surely you don't want them to see this soft side of yours?"

"It's not always that I do this to my fiancee." Ayanami said. "So don't complain."

"I keep on wondering why my brother doesn't know anything..."

"Let him be."
