I've got a question for you; what do you think of the title? When I published this, the title was supposed to have periods between each letter (just to make it look cool xD I doesn't stand for anything…yet.) but this fic actually has a few alternate titles xD

The Colours of Love (TCoL)

To Be Me

Falling from the Sky

And of course; A.R.I.S.A

The third option was made out of pure highness and over-dose of OJ, but then I liked it (I've got a good summary for it too…) So tell me if we should have a title change…and I'm going to make a poll on that now! xD –shot-

ANYWAY! You know the drill; read and review and ignore spelling grammer mistakes xD;

The Colours of Love: Chapter 2

The Souma Family.

After a ruckus of shouts, questions and several more exclamations, the three had settles down and was now sitting at the kitchen table, each with a steaming sup of hot chocolate in each of their hands.

Kuukai's mother had introduced herself as Hana Souma, but insisted that Arisa just called her 'Hana.'

The group was currently about to discuss something 'fairly important' as Hana explained, but suddenly the door burst open and 3 boys, older than Kuukai tumbled messily into the room.

"I WIN!" Two of them shouted in unison.

"Boys! Behave yourselves, we have a guest." She scolded.

Each one of them were slightly different from the one before. The tallest one (supposedly the oldest) out of the 3 had similar shaggy black, brown hair and a pair of glasses that framed his green eyes. The one next to him had dirty blonde hair and green eyes, and finally the last one had aqua shaded eyes and rust coloured hair that went past his ears and ended just before his shoulders.

"Sorry, but they wanted to see if they got any faster…so we decided to race." replied the oldest of the three, regaining his composure from his spot on the ground.

The other two had waltzed over to where Arisa was sitting, surrounding her with playful smirks on their faces.

"So Kuukai, who's your friend?" The blonde one asked.

"You two weren't caught doing anything were you?" Asked the other.

As Arisa flushed red at the sudden realization, you could clearly hear Kuukai's forehead come in impact with the aged wooden table as he groaned loudly.

"Guys, get away from her…" He said, voice being muffled by the table that was effectively hiding the maroon flush on his face.

Sighing, they each moved away, giving Arisa the breathing space she desperately needed.

"As protective as ever over his things," the younger one muttered.

Hana deeply sighed and shook her head at the three males in front.

"Why don't you introduce yourselves to her instead of trying to charm her," she told them, with a hidden threat in her voice.

"Souma Rento! The second youngest brother, pleased to meet you," he declared giving her a friendly wave.

"Souma Unkai. Third oldest, it's an honour." The blonde said, raising his index and middle finger up into a peace sign.

"Souma Suusui, charmed I'm sure." Finished the last, nodding at her in acknowledgment.

"My eldest son had just left to go to university, so Unkai, who used to share a room with Kuukai, moved into Suusui's room, so you can share a room with Kuukai," Hana explained.

"Ah, mom! If you told me a GIRL was going into my old room, I would've cleaned it up…" Unkai exclaimed.

"Porno," coughed Rento, then smirking as he watched his older brother's face tint pink.

Shooting a look at her sons, Hana continued, "And tomorrow, Kuukai doesn't have school so he'll show you around Tokyo, won't you Kuukai-kun?"

Finally noticing that he had left the room, they heard a crash coming from his room. Suddenly, his door burst open revealing Kuukai and about 4 boxes; each labelled, 'PRIVATE"

"I got Unkai's porno out, so she could sleep properly all right?" Kuukai explained shrugging his shoulders as he made his way back to his original spot at the table.

The family, plus Arisa all say down in the living room and were discussing, rules for the house.

"No TV until you finish your homework."

"Always knock before entering the bathroom."

"No wondering around town without someone with you."

"Don't go into my-"

"Our."

"-Our room."

"Don't hog the bathroom at night."

"Share the pancakes."

"And most importantly…"

"Don't bring any boys home with you?" Questioned Rento, laughing.

"No Rento," Hana sighed, "Make sure you're with Kuukai at all times."

All Arisa could do was simply nod at everything the family was saying to her. After finally comprehending all the rules, Kuukai and Arisa were quickly dragged into the closest room along with Arisa's bags.

"We'll leave you alone to unpack and get to know each other better and such." And with that, they closed the door and left the two in silence.

From their side of the door they could hear Unkai saying, "'Get to know each other better?' Mom isn't that what dates are for?"

They both rolled their eyes in sync and Arisa began unpacking her bags.

The room she currently sat in had two twin sized beds at either sides of the room with messily made light blue sheets, a closet in a corner overflowing with sports equipment, and an end table in the middle of the two beds cluttered with a variety of things, plus a the middle of the two beds were a large window with simpe green curtains with a view of the Souma's backyard.

The first thing that she pulled out was a purple and grey rabbit with long floppy ears and a slightly limp body.

"Lappy-chan!!~ Was the ride okay? I'm glad you're alright!" She squealed, hugging the plush tightly against her chest.

On the other side of the room, Kuukai sweat dropped and stared at her strangely. Noticing the look she was receiving, she stuck her tongue out at him playfully.

"Don't make fun of Lappy-chan!"

"I'm not making fun of…Lappy-chan." He muttered in response.

Next, she decided to leave most of her clothes in the bag, and pulled out her hairbrush, a set of teal pyjamas, and the present she received from Hiro the day before.

"What's that?" Kuukai asked, walking to her side of the room, crawling onto my bed next to the box.

"A present," she said, pulling out the first slip of paper from the box. After digging around the mess on the end table, she found a working black pen and began to write.

-

Hiro,

Hiiii!~ How're you holding up without me? I miss you a lot, and so does Lappy-chan.

So today I almost got hit by a truck, raped by a blue haired stranger, and numerous other ways that scarred me for life. Urg, hopefully you're doing better than I am. But the bright side is that I found the place I was staying at. Man, the paper is really pretty and sparkly! So, I'm about to go to sleep. Still need to change…and take a shower because I STINK. I'm starting school in a couple days; wish me luck and…don't blow anything up without me, you got that?!

--Arisa-chan 3

-

"You done?" Kuukai asked," Get your clothes, I'll show you how the shower works; it's known to try to eat people alive." He finished, snickering.

Arisa laughed nervously in response and grabbed her clothes and undergarments wrapped in a towel and followed Kuukai across the hall into the bathroom.

He showed her the hamper for dirty laundry, where she can put her things, and how the shower works, and most importantly, how to make sure that the shower doesn't blow up.

After obediently following him around the small and slightly cramped space, there was an awkward silence. Arisa cocked an eyebrow at him with her clothes in hand and coughed.

"You can leave now." She stated.

"Right! Don't take too long, I need you to get up early so I could show you around tomorrow." He replied scratching the back of his head sheepishly.

Kuukai walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. When he heard the lock of the door click, he continued back into his room. He pulled out grey sweatpants and a baggy green sports jersey. After quickly changing his pants and throwing the dirty pair into the laundry hamper in his room, he lifted his shirt halfway before the door burst open.

Then, in came Arisa wearing her pyjamas and screaming a little too loudly.

"AAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH" She screamed, diving into her bed.

Kuukai glanced at the bathroom door just in time to watch a black coloured bug scamper out into the hall way, but then was casually swept away by the passing broom held by his mother, who was humming a tune as she swept the halls. Next, his attention was turned to the young girl, cowering beneath the covers of her bed from the creature.

Her scream had echoed throughout the apartment and gotten the attention of the other family members, causing them to once again; crash through the doorway of the room yelling, "What happened?!"

The three other brothers looked from Kuukai who was standing, to Arisa; shaking under the covers of her bed.

Suddenly anime dots filled the air and Rento burst out, "Kuukai, what did you do?"

Kuukai flushed red and quickly replied flustered, "No! It's not like that? Did you not hear her screaming?"

Unkai snickered and nodded to his question, "So, what did you do?"

"No-thing. Just go ask Arisa…under there." Kuukai continued.

Suusui cocked an eyebrow at his youngest brother and walked towards Arisa, having his other two siblings follow closely behind. He slowly lifted the covers revealing her face, with her eyes shut tightly. Suddenly, once she noticed the light all she could think of was to scream.

And that's what she did.

"COKROACH!!!" The sudden burst of loud noise caused the siblings to cringe and quickly cover their ears with their hands. Arisa took a hold of the blanket and covered her head once again.

More anime dots.

"Well we learn something new everyday..." Rento began.

"Arisa-san is terrified of cockroaches…" said Unkai.

"She has a deafening voice." Suusui continued.

"And now, we need to figure out how to get her out from under the covers." Kuukai finally finished.

The 4 of them gazed at the bundle of shaking covers atop the bed, then at each other. After moment, after moment, after moments of silence; they heard their mom call from the kitchen, "Cookies!!"

Before the three boys could rush to the kitchen for the treat, a flash of teal zipped past them and into the kitchen.

Stunned for the moment, they finally made their way quickly to the table, where Arisa was happily nibbling away at a chocolate chip cookie in her hands.

"New discovery?" Questioned Suusui.

"Arisa-san loves cookies." Kuukai laughed as he speedily joined her at the table, carefully taking a cookie from the burning hot tray.

"My, my, you two are so impatient!" Hana exclaimed when she approached the table.

"Sorry mom." Kuukai replied, wiping cookie crumbs from his mouth.

"Arigatou Hana-san." Arisa said with a mouthful of cookie.

The three other boys had already sat themselves down at the table and helped themselves at a cookie of their own. Hana smiled contently and preceded to the largest room in the house; her own, leaving the crowd to munch on their cookies.

"Kuukai-sempai?" Arisa began.

"You don't have to call me by 'semapi' Arisa," Kuukai replied cocking an eyebrow at her, "So what is it?"

"What time will I have to wake up tomorrow?" She shyly asked, blinking her eyes at him innocently.

He thought for a moment, "Let's see…I have a soccer game tomorrow, but you don't have to come-"

"Can I come, can I come? Please, please, pretty please?!" She suddenly interrupted.

"My, Arisa is eager to see you play Kuukai," Unkai stated.

"Any thoughts on that?" Rento added as Suusui simply rolled his eyes at his two 'immature' brothers.

Perverted would be a better word, wouldn't it?

Kuukai tore part of his cookie off and launched it at his older brother, who caught it in his mouth with ease.

"I was just teasing you little brother." Unkai said smirking.

Then just before another argument could emerge, Arisa yawned, stretching in her chair causing all the boys to stop in mid-bicker and look at her as her eyes shut themselves, and her entire body collapsed onto the table with a thunk.

"That would be our cue to go to bed," Suusui declared, adjusting his glasses then swiftly grabbing two of his brothers by the arm and dragging them to their proper rooms, leaving Kuukai along in the room with a fast asleep Arisa.

Of course he knew exactly what his…queer brothers were doing. And Suusui was just trying to make sure they didn't absolutely kill themselves as they did so. So Kuukai decided to just go along with it. What harm could be done?

Carefully, he slid his arms around Arisa and lifted her from the chair, being surprisingly light.

The young Souma tiptoed into his room, being careful not to wake the slumbering girl in his arms. Just as he began to set her down on her bed, he felt a tug on his sleeve. He glanced in the direction where the motion was coming from and noticed that Arisa had grabbed onto his shirt.

'Of course' he thought. 'This kind of thing always happens to the guy who decides to carry the mysteriously cute girl who you meet out of pure coincidence'

He succeeded in laying her on the bed, but could not abolish her grip on his shirt. So for a while he just sat next to her bed, hoping she would let go…soon.

But that was not the case. Actually, Kuukai had fallen asleep for an hour or so, leaning against her bed post and now there was a nasty uncomfortable feeling in his back. Yet the grip on his shirt had not subsided one bit.

After rubbing the sleep from his eyes, he slowly pulled the shirt over his head, leaving it in the hands of the sleeping Hoshiwa. He then made his way over to the light switch and flipped the lights off. For a moment he stretched and properly shut the door, then finally crawled into his covers; notably colder than he normally is. But he still didn't note how he had called Arisa cute.

Poll is all set up :D and I'll deal with the summary later xD;

And…I realize Kuukai and co. lives in a house. But guess who's too lazy to change this! xD And this chapter was written far before they showed that manga chapter so I apologize for that ^^;;
