Chapter 2 : Accidents happen

Being the mature men they were , they woke up the first week in the best of moods , telling themselves that they had to behave and move on so that when she came back on Friday , she'd be so proud of them , excluding Wataru , of course , considering he's 10 years old , he's bound to be the one with the mood swings , temper flaring and leading a full on rebellion , right ? WRONG . What one would say started out as a fresh bowl of full cream milk , slowly begin to curdle into a sour one . Everyone missed Ema Hinata , no denying , even though it has been like what ? 12 hours ? As Ukyo wandered down the stairs of their apartment , the one that leads the patio to the living room and kitchen , he heard the tumbling of a metal bowl coming from the kitchen . Reaching the floor of the lower ground , he slowly crept up to the wall that separated the kitchen and living room . Who in the world is causing so much of commotion that'll surely wake a whole neighbourhood up ? , he asked himself before he felt himself panic slightly . Someone has broken into the apartment, he thought again as his eyes widen behind the lenses of his glasses.

I must act at once , he told himself , pulling a brave face on before leaning against the wall a bit more and reaching for Yusuke's baseball bat . He took in a deep breath before jumping out , into the open , bat ready , he aimed and swung at the figure that loomed in the kitchen .

"Owww , what the hell ?" , barked a red head that fell onto the floor with a 'Thump' as he cluthes the side of his abdomen.

"Yu-Yusuke ?" , Ukyo stammered as he stared down at his younger brother that was in pain . "Why in the world are you up this early in the morning ? You're only suppose to be down in two hours." , he looked up at the clock before stretching his hand out to the obviously in a bad mood red head .

"Arghh" , was all Yusuke said before swatting his older brother's hand away . "I couldn't sleep." , he added before getting up and taking a seat at the dining table .

Slowly , one by one the Asahina brothers got up , groggy and miserable-looking just as Yusuke . Well , minus Masaomi , Kaname , Hikaru and surprisingly , Wataru . As Ukyo took a seat at the dining table after placing each of their dishes in front of his brothers , which comprised of fried salmon , topped with a vegetable reduction with a side of vegetable puree , a few onigiris and a cup of mango and strawberry-filled jelly , finally spoke up , "Is there anything wrong ?" . Tsubaki-kun was the first to turn his head and stare at his brother , "What do YOU think is wrong ? My sweet Ema is not here." , he said .

Azusa half sneered and half sighed , "She is not your sweet." .

"And I suppose she is yours ?" , the silver-haired man fired back.

"She would never be either of yours , Tsubaki and Azusa and you know it . She has high standards." , Futo chimed in , in his a bit more cynical tone.

"What makes you think you're so high and mighty ? You're just a lucky brat who got his so called 'stardom' because his producer found him cute." , Tsubaki commented .

Just like that , the dining table became a war zone as Tsubaki and Futo begin growling and throwing snide comments and insults at each other while Azusa would snort in between , catching a phrase or sentence that amused him . Yusuke , on the other hand was eating breakfast silently , or more like shifting the breakfast he was given around on the plate . "Oh my." , was all Hikaru sighed out as he begin missing his adorable younger sister . The tension between the brothers were heating up as Futo and Tsubaki were getting ready to pounce on each other when the still-calm-until-now Kaname banged a fist against the table . Everyone looked at him in surprise , even the two cats that were about to have a claw fight . In an angry and slightly annoyed tone , Kaname said , "What is wrong with you four ? If Ema was here , she would be ashamed of you." , as soon as Yusuke , Tsubaki , Azusa and the infamous Futo Asakura heard what their brother said , they leaned back into their seat and stares at their plate . Ukyo frowned but the monk continued , "It is clear that everyone is upset over the fact that our lovely kitten has left the litter ." , the four men rolled their eyes together simultaneously . "But that's no reason for you , infants to cause a commotion at the dining table . Even our beloved Wataru-otoutosan is not moping around like you four." , he added before finishing up the remains of his breakfast .

Masaomi finally said , "I understand this predicament of not having Ema around . I feel sad too , but she wouldn't want us to just sit around fighting . Anyways , she will be coming back every Friday night , it's not like she's gone forever." .

Yusuke sighed before taking a small bite out of his salmon . Without so much of another bite , he stood up , pushing the chair backwards a bit too rough , making an unpleasant sound similar to when someone claws down a blackboard . "I'm going to Meiji , class starts today." , he mumbled before pushing the chair back as he start walking to the stairs.

"Wait." , Kaname says , making Yusuke stop in his stride.

"What ? Can't I go to university without being late for the first day ?" , was all he replied , not looking at Kaname.

"Yes you can but aren't you ? I don't know...a bit too early ?" , the monk gestured to the digital clock just above the Masaomi's head that read 06:45a.m. .

Yusuke froze but after awhile said , "No , it's not . I'm going to check up on Ema." , as he begin walking up the stairs.

"Even she wouldn't be awake at this hour." , his older brother replied as Futo added , "He just wants to see her with limited amount of clothing." .

Yusuke stopped and yelled from above , "That's not it !" , before slamming the door to hear the perverted monk laughing.

As he entered Meiji , he took out a small piece of folded up paper and read , "D-02-11" . Looking around , he spotted the building she was supposedly residing . As he approached the building even closer , he started counting the 11th room from the left before settling on a window with curtains of patterns of penguins . Yusuke chuckled to himself , that was definitely Ema's room before leaning against a Sakura tree that hasn't blossomed yet . Checking his phone , he found that it was still early . Early meaning it was 07:03a.m. , what was he going to do for 57 minutes ? At times like this he wished that his sister would have gotten up earlier . As he felt his legs buckled under the exhaustion that was wearing itself onto him , he leaned against the tree and felt his eyes slowly closing finally as she was now here with him , just separated by a building . No biggie .

Ema sneezed as the cool air from outside came in and was playing around her nose . Pulling her sheets up over her face , she didn't realise that her alarm was suppose to go off about half an hour ago . As another sneeze was formed , she found herself tossing and turning on the soft bed . Damn breeze , she muttered under her pillow before throwing it off her face and onto the floor . She sat up on her bed before finally opening her eyes , it was at first a blur before a scene of the blue colored wall and marble tiled floor came into view . She smiled , now she was living on her own and being independent . Her brothers trusted her in letting her stay in the university , just as Subaru-kun does . Oh yeah , Subaru-kun ! She has not seen him ever since he left to leave here too . Knowing Natsume-onnichan , he's most probably texted or gave Subaru-kun a call . She felt the hair on the back of her neck stand and felt goosebumps being formed on her arm as another cold breeze blew her hair to the side . So much for morning hair already , now we have morning breeze hair , she chuckled to herself as she ran her fingers through her long brown hair that was loose . Oh , how she missed Louis-kun and his hairstyles of the day for her . She turn to her left to check her bunny-shaped alarm clock . So the time is- IT'S 08.03AM!? Thank goodness she set her alarm half an hour before she was suppose to get up .

Jumping out of bed , she pulled the sheets with her , resulting in her dragging the white cloth with every step she take , as if she was a bride and was walking down the aisle . Well , more like running down the aisle . She blushed as she though who her groom might be , maybe she'll meet him here , in university ? Or when she graduates and get a decent job ? Or maybe- , she felt her cheeks turn into a deeper shade of red . Maybe it was one of her step-brothers . She was about to close the window when she saw a body leaning against the beautiful Sakura tree that was in plain view , why isn't the person moving ? , she asked herself as she squint her eyes . From her squeezing her eyelids closer to get a better look at whoever it is , her eyes suddenly widen when she yelled , "ARGHHHH ! A DEAD BODY ! A DEAD BODY ON CAMPUS!" . She rushed to her bed and threw herself against it , pulling the pillow she threw up onto her face , she yelled . After a moment , she calmed down a bit . Okay , calm down , Hinata , just call the police or someone from the office and this will be over . Letting out a deep breath, she hugged the pillow against her chest before sitting up again . But I need to give a description of the dead body , right ? , she thought again before slowly inching towards the window .

Leaning her head slightly outside the window , she began studying the body . He sure looks a lot like Yusuke-kun , no , it can't be . Her eyes locked on the man's lips , his lips were surprisingly still pinkish-red in color , the ends of his lips were curved up into a slight smile . She was wondering how his eyes would look like when she looked up to see the pair of eyes staring at her . "AHHHHHHHHH !" , she screamed much to Yusuke's surprise before flinging the pillow she was hugging against her body at him . He sees a white rectangular object being thrown at him and before he realised what it was , it smacked him right in the face .

"..." , he was speechless for awhile before the pillow begin to slide down his face and onto his lap .

"...EMA.." , he yelled before getting up , with the pillow in one hand . He bolted up the stairs of the building she lived in , not even bothering to take the elevator or even caring it was an all girls dorm . When he reached her door , he banged the door with his fist , calling out , "EMA ! YOU BETTER OPEN UP." . In one swift motion , the door swung open , as he was leaning against the door , he fell onto the polished marble floor , earning his square-shaped red boxes along the left side of his face.

"Yusuke-kun!" , Ema jumped back in surprise as she observes the red-haired man that was on the floor . "Are y-you o-okay ?" , she asked softly as she leaned in a bit towards his head.

His lifted up his face and found his staring into her hazel brown eyes , their faces not inches apart but close enough to make him blush , even though you couldn't tell the difference between him blushing and the square bruises that was on his face . He looked away and muttered , "Yeah , I'll live." , he then pushes himself up with the palms of his hand and started rubbing the side of his face . Today is my lucky day , isn't it ? First , I get swung with a bat by Ukyo , then a pillow was thrown at my face by Ema and now I crashed my face against this damn marble flooring , making me look like one of the Red Queen's card knights with not one , but five red square marks on my face , from Alice in Wonderland . Great , just great .

"Ahhh...Yusuke-kun ?" , she asked as he blanked into the void.

"I said I was fine , didn't I ? What I want to know is why did you throw a damn pillow at my face . And this pillow is not the soft and cuddly type you girls use." , he said as he bends the pillow , showing that it took a bit of effort to do so.

Ema looks at the floor , "And don't tease me about this either !" , he continued as he showed her the red lines that was formed into five squares on his face now .

"I..I'm sorry , Yusuke-kun ! I really am . I just..I got up to close the window and saw someone laying against the Sakura tree and he wasn't moving , so I thought he was dead or something . I took a closer look at your lips when your eyes suddenly open , I got scared and threw the pillow at you." , she said quickly .

He sighed , "You shouldn't jump to-" , his sentence was cut off when he realised what she said in her second sentence , "Y-you were looking at m-my l-lips?" , he sstuttered again before blushing . Why am I blushing so much ? He asked himself before turning to look away , not wanting her to see him like this .

This time , she blushed in return , "Uhh...I wanted to see whether you were-" , her sentence was cut short this time when the door slammed open to see a panting Aoi .

"Ema-chan ! We need to go and-" , Aoi stopped when she sees a red haired man wiith bruises on his cheek standing next to her roommate . Her eyes widen as she pushed him to the wall , grabbing his collars , "What did you do to Hinata-san ?" , Aoi now had crazy eyes as she addressed her friend formally , not wanting this man to have a pleasure in referring Ema to her first name . Yusuke was shocked as he looked at the short green haired who pinned him to the wall , demanding what he did to Ema . "I-I'm her brother.." , he mumbled , a bit scared of this girl now .

"I'm not gonna fall-" , she was stopped by Ema who confirmed his identity .

"He is my brother ! And he didn't do anything to me , he fell and bruised himself." , Ema said quickly as she got between her brother and roommate.

Aoi narrowed her eyes but nodded slowly . Sensing no more threat to Ema or herself , she turned back to her bubbly self , "Sorry about that ! I thought you hurt , Ema-chan ! I'm Aoi Ichinose , it is nice to meet you." , she beamed . Still shocked , he just said , "Yusuke Asahina..." before sitting on the floor and sighing as he rubbed his face . Aoi not bothered by him anymore , turned to face Ema saying , "As I was saying , "We need to go and sign up for clubs !" , she squeled loudly , a bit too loud for Ema and Yusuke's liking .

"Really ? W-what clubare y-you joining ?" , Ema asked her roommate as she rubbed her ears .

"I'm gonna join the Music Club ! We get to talk about all my favorite boy bands like..." , the green haired girl continued blabbering about the boy bands she loved before turning her attention to her roommate , "What about you ? You told me yesterday you were thinking about joining a club but you didn't tell me what." , Aoi bellowed excitedly.

"Well...it's not that special but I was thinking the football team , I mean I want a fresh start and be active in sports , not like when I was in high school , that time I was.." , she continued her rambling before she heard both her brother and roommate yelled .

"WHAT!?"
