Chapter 7: Relatives

Sakuno hurried to the door. Neither Ryoma nor Sakuno were expecting anything in the mail. She opened the door. "Hai?" She said.

Suddenly, she was placed in a tight embrace. "Hi~!" The person said.

Sakuno let out a scream from the person sudden action. Ryoma came rushing to the door and then calmed down seeing the person. "Put my wife down…Nii-San." Ryoma said.

Sakuno's eyes widened when the person chuckled and placed her on her feet. "Mou, Ryoma, you aren't cute at all!"
Sakuno looked into the person's face to see the exact same features of Ryoma except a bit older and had softer facial features. "I haven't seen you in so long Ryoga-San!" Sakuno said with a smile, "How have you been?"
Ryoga smiled and nodded his head. "Good, working over seas has given me the same tan as my Oto-San."
Sakuno laughed and Ryoga did as well. Ryoma folded his arms frowning at his older brother. "Why are you here?" He asked.

Ryoga pouted. "Because I heard the great news from Okaa-San!" Ryoga said going down and putting his ear to Sakuno's stomach.

Sakuno blushed by his sudden action. "Stop trying to molest my wife." Ryoma said annoyed, "You're making her uncomfortable."
Ryoga smirked. "Are you sure you're not just jealous little brother?"
Ryoma frowned. "Ma, ma." Sakuno said trying to keep Ryoma from punching his brother, "Well, where are you staying?"
Ryoga stood up and rubbed the back of his neck. "About that-"
"No." Ryoma said.

Ryoga gasped. "I didn't even ask anything."
"You were going to and the answer is no." Ryoma said.

Sakuno was confused. "What were you going to say?"
Ryoga faced Sakuno with puppy eyes. "Well, all the hotels near here are all booked and I was wonder if I could stay here until I go to see my parents."
"I knew it." Ryoma said.

Sakuno turned to Ryoma and pulled him to the other room to have a discussion. "Shouldn't we let him stay here?" Sakuno asked.

"No, he's not going to. He'll be the death of me."
Sakuno frowned at Ryoma. "At least for tonight." Sakuno said showing him her puppy eyes, "Please?"
Ryoma ran his fingers through his hair. Of course, he could never say no to his wife. "Fine, just for tonight that's it." Ryoma said putting his foot down.

Sakuno clapped her hands happily and kissed Ryoma on the lips. "Thank you." Sakuno said heading to the next room to tell Ryoga the good news.

Ryoma sighed and rolled his eyes. "Geez, I have a long way to go." He said following his wife to the living room where she and his older brother were talking animatedly.

Ryoga looked up at his brother and smirked. "Let's play a round for old time's sake?" Ryoga asked.

Ryoma smirked. "Alright then." He said, "But know that if I beat you I don't want to see you crying to my wife or be balled up in the corner."
Ryoga chuckled. "Let's see about that brother."
A Few Hours Later

"What has become of me?" Ryoga sulked in the corner of the living room.

Ryoma rolled his eyes and let out a sigh. "Didn't I tell you not to do that?"
"Mou! Ryoma-Kun is so mean!"
Ryoma let out yet another sigh. "Made, made dane." Ryoma said.

Ryoga continued to sulk in the corner as Ryoma headed to his wife who was in the kitchen. The smell of sweet cookies filled his nose. "Cookies?" He said coming up behind his wife.

Sakuno smiled and nodded her head. She opened the oven door and took out the cookies, "Finished and ready to eat." Sakuno said moving the cookies onto a plate.

"Cookies?" Ryoga said with puppy eyes.

Sakuno smiled and grabbed a cookie. "Treat yourself." Sakuno said.

Ryoga smiled and was about to take the cookie from Sakuno's hand when Ryoma pulled it away and took a bite out of the cookie. Ryoga gasped and pouted. "Ryoma?" Sakuno said confused and a but flustered.

Ryoma licked his lips. "It's sweet."
Sakuno smiled and nodded her head and took the bite of the cookie. "Mou! Ryoma is being all lovey dovey with Sakuno-Chan!" Ryoga said laughing at his brother's unusual actions.

"Shut it." Ryoma hissed.

There was a ring at the door. Sakuno got up and headed the door. "Hai?"
"YO! How's my daughter-in-law?" A loud voice boomed.

Ryoma groaned.
