... I am getting less talkative... Scary.

BTW, omake up ahead.

"B-but, Nii san!"

"No, just say it."

"But I can't! You are my brother and-"

"Say it!"

"Fine." She sucked some air and blushed. "R-re-" she stuttered. She tried again. "Re-Ren, I lo-" Her head hit the floor as she moaned. Why was it so hard when she said it many times before? "REN, I LOVE YOU!"

Laughing at how much effort she tried just to say those four words, he decided that that was enough. "Good. Now, that wasn't so hard, was it?"

"Yes, it was!" she complained. "I don't call you Ren often and I..." she blushed. She knew that it wasn't that hard to say "I love you" but it was even more embarrassing when... you are forced to say it in front of people.

"Ren! Why are you making her say that!" Kanae shouted. She took Keiko and patted her head lightly.

"Seriously, Ren. There is a line between a doting brother and a brother with a sister complex..." Kijima stated, rolling his eyes.

"What? I just wanted to hear it from her," stated Ren, calmly.

"You couldn't have just asked me to say it when we were alone?" the shinigami, who was now the victim, blushed some more. Her constant blushing might even make her burn her whole face apart if this keeps up! "Nii san, you are so embarrassing!"

"Am I?" Ren took Keiko away from Kanae. "But I love you so much..."

Feeling and hearing him shift to a puppy face whimper, she gave up. "I... I love you too." She patted his head reluctantly and giggled.

After Keiko realized who she really was, she was even more embarrassed when Ren showed his affection for her outside of his apartment. She would blush fiercely or get too embarrassed but that didn't stop her from adoring all of his attention.

Yashiro blinked as he saw the small exchange of feelings. "Since when did you suddenly add Cain Heel into your life?" Except, in his perspective, Ren seemed to want to hear the words "I love you" from someone who looked like Kyoko chan.

Ren laughed. "I'm not acting like Cain. I just... love my little sister for her, not like Setsu."

"Really? Since it seems really familiar. With the spoiling..."

"And the small kisses..." added Chiori.

"And the fact you forced her to say "I love you"." finished Kanae.

"Are you feeling sick? I had no idea you were such a pedophile, Ren..." Director Shingai laughed.

"I am not!"

"Yeah, Nii san is not!"

With that, Ren playfully glared at her. "Call me Ren."

"But you-"

"Say it!"

She sighed but smiled. This was going all over again. "Ren."

He smiled, almost making everyone in the room faint. "See, that wasn't so hard, now was it?"

Keiko shook her head. "No, it wasn't."

This is a short chapter/omake/one-shot. Just thought of it while I was thinking of the storyline. This happens after "Faint Remembrance" and I wanted to type it out to get it out of my system. Meh, sorry for the people who thought this was going to be a long chapter.

With this, I might take... 1-2 weeks from writing the next chapter. Although I do have a 4-day weekend this week...
