Hello my lovelies! (Lol) Six reviews and five follows, yay! Last chapter I felt was a bit rushed, but like I said, I didn't have a lot of time. :P

Thank you all for the lovely reviews! I published this early because I just couldn't resist. Here's another cookie! *Passes cookie*

I shall fatten you up! MUHAHAHAHA! *cough cough* Just kidding!

Anyways, here is Chapter 3. Enjoy~!

-Chapter 3-

*One Week Later*

The squeak of red pens and occasional rustle of paper reminded Onodera it was the beginning of the cycle. They had barely survived Hell Week, again. But Onodera couldn't concentrate today, to Takano's annoyance. He had thrown a total of three rulers and a stapler already and Onodera still kept spacing out. He had a feeling it was related to Riko, but he didn't need to be so nervous for her. Onodera was more nervous than she was because it was her first day at Marukawa. He had expressed last night that he was worried because he never knew when something would happen that would trigger her to have an episode. And he didn't even know what department she worked in. He had asked her but she said it was a surprise. This just made Onodera even more unnerved.

They worked and Takano yelled at them for two more hours, when they heard a faint knock on the doorway and all looked up.

"R-Riko!" Onodera shot up from his chair. Everybody gawked until Kisa exclaimed, "Whoa, Richan! When did you make a girl clone of yourself?"

Onodera rolled his eyes as Riko walked in. She smiled and bowed to the Emerald Department.

"Ohayō gozaimasu. I'm Onodera Riko, Ritsu's twin sister," Riko greeted and shook all their hands.

"Don't worry Ritsu; I'm not working in Emerald. You can relax," Riko gave him a small smile. Onodera sweat dropped because she noticed he was tense.

"I-I'm not worried because of that! It's your first day, it's natural for brothers to worry about their sisters," Onodera scratched the back of his neck and laughed nervously.

"Can I call you Richan too?" Kisa asked Riko.

"Richan?"

"Yeah! Ritsu and Riko, practically the same name, so if you shorten both you get Richan!" Kisa giggled but it turned into a cry of pain as another stapler went flying across the room.

"Oi, get back to work! If you have time to waste, waste it on work!" Takano shouted. Everyone else quickly turned back to their desks and Riko grinned.

"Maybe it's good that I don't work in Emerald. I just wanted to meet your department Nii-chan, I'll see you later," Riko bowed again and quickly left.

"Whoa Richan, if Richan wasn't your sister, you would be so cute together!" Kisa whispered to Onodera. This caused Onodera to blush and whisper back, "Shut up Kisa, that's disgusting! That's my sister!"

"That's why I said if she wasn't your sister-Ow! Takano-san!" Kisa rubbed the now-forming bump on his head.

"I said get back to work, not gossiping!"

"Hai hai, Great Demon Editor," Kisa cursed under his breath and continued working.

Onodera removed his shoes in the genkan and threw his bag on the couch. Turning towards the kitchen, he thought twice and grabbed his phone. Takano had stayed behind for a meeting and told Onodera to text him when he arrived at his apartment. This caused Onodera to yell at him that he could take care of himself, but nonetheless he promised to text him.

To: Takano Masamune

Hey, I made it home. Told you.

He sent it and almost immediately, his phone beeped with a reply.

From: Takano Masamune

Good, I should be home soon. I love you.

"B-Baka," Onodera mumbled and blushed. He made dinner and decided to call Riko to ask about her day. The phone rang a couple times until he heard a voice answer, "Hello?"

"Hey Riko, its Ritsu. How was your first day?"

"Ah, Ritsu. It was fine, thank you for asking. My co-workers were nice and my boss is pretty energetic." (A/N: Hint hint!)

"Oh, well that's good. Did you actually work or did they just show you the ropes?" Onodera noticed she was monotone and knew it was her night-mood.

"They just showed me around mostly. I should actually start working tomorrow. I'm tired, so I'm going to bed Onii-san. Goodnight," Riko swiftly hung up and Onodera exhaled loudly. She only called him Onii-san at night and said very little to him. Onodera washed the dishes then waited up for Takano.

The next day, Onodera and Takano were alone. Hatori had left to see Chiharu-sensei because 'she' had come down with a fever. Kisa was taking a break and nobody remembered where Mino went. Onodera was writing a proposal for his next project. He was in high-speed work mode and typed furiously, his hands flying across the keyboard. He didn't notice Takano putting a cup of coffee on his desk and tapping him on the shoulder. Suddenly, his chair was spun around and he yelped. He felt lips crash onto his own and his body pushed back into the chair.

"T-Takano-san! S-Stop! Somebody is going to walk in," Onodera blushed crimson and Takano smirked.

"I don't care."

"Ugh, you ruined my perfect concentration!"

"That was the point. You were so concentrated it was cute, so I decided to wake you up from full-on work mode."

"You better not call me half-assed anymore! It's your fault," Onodera started to turn around but Takano grabbed his chair firmly.

"You didn't even thank me for the coffee, Onodera."

"Huh? Oh, t-thank you. Now let me get back to work," He tried again but Takano put his leg in between his and leaned in close.

"Don't I get a thank you kiss?"

"EH?! N-no! Not at work Takano-san!"

"Fine, I'll do it myself," Takano pushed his lips against Onodera's once again. Onodera struggled at first, but his will broke, so he melted into the kiss. Takano slipped his tongue into Onodera's mouth earning a moan in response. He was about to go farther when they heard the soft thud of something hitting the office floor and papers rustling as they fell down.

They looked up to see Riko in the doorway, her mouth agape and eyes wide in shock.

Bwhahahaha, cliff hanger! What will happen next chapter? Should I wait a few days to post the next chapter just to torture you guys? MUHAHAHAHAHA!

So, can anyone guess what department Riko works in? :3

Hey, I'd appreciate it if you guys gave me some ideas for the future. I basically know what's gonna happen the next couple of chapters, but if this story goes well, I want to make it a little longer! So I'm short on chapter thoughts :P

See you next chapter my lovelies! :)
