MoonyKunai - Glad you like it. As for your question, she can not. In fact, I have a special chapter in the works that features that fact.

This is Lotus

This is Saiki

Saiki and Lotus

~Thoughts of others~

It's the Superstar Mugami Tooru! - Or Rather the Weirdo Makato Teruhashi

Saiki teleported himself and Lotus back to his home. The two psychics sitting at his table or rather slumped at the table, today's events having worn them out.

"Geeze who knew trying to see a movie could be so taxing."

Lotus and Saiki let out exasperated sighs as the door to the room opened. Kurumi walked in surprised to see her son along with Lotus.

"Oh hello Lotus dear I didn't know you were here," Kurumi greeted with a bright smile.

"Sorry for the intrusion it was an unexpected arrival," Lotus replied

"What were you two crazy kids up to today?" Kurumi asked

"We tried to see a movie but that didn't go as planned. I'm just tired and hungry now." Lotus stated

"Oh! I was actually just about to start dinner, you're welcomed to join us," Kurumi offered

"Really? I'd hate to intrude," Lotus said

Kurumi happily waved off Lotus's words. "Nonsense, my future daughter-in-law is welcomed whenever."

"Hehe.." Lotus gave an embarrassed chuckle her cheeks tinting red.

She got up from seat walking over to Kurumi.

"Well since you're offering for me to stay the least I could do is offer my help in the kitchen."

Kurumi smiled even brighter clapping her hands together. "How wonderful! It'll be so nice to have someone else in the kitchen with me."

Lotus and Kurumi started to exit the room.

"By the way, I heard this interesting story about you and a salesman mind if you tell it to me?"

Lotus was in the kitchen laughing from Kurumi's story. The girl's laughter was contagious as Kurumi joined in as well.

The two chatted and cooked enjoying their time.

Lotus stirred a pot of soup before dipping a spoon in.

"How's this Mrs. Saiki?" Lotus asked holding out the spoon.

"Oh dear, there's no need to be so formal you can call me Kurumi or better yet call me Mom!" Kurumi said

Lotus chuckled again, an embarrassing sweatdrop forming on the back of her head.

Kurumi took the spoon from Lotus tasting the soup.

"Oh, it's absolutely splendid! Who taught you how to cook?" Kurumi asked

"Well, I'm self-thought. With my parents away all the time and my sister so busy with studying, I took it upon myself to take care of the basic home needs. Cooking, cleaning, things like that. Now that I'm older I still take care of that stuff. My sister and Ethan a pretty busy. I wanted to make sure that they were given all the time they needed to work hard, its also my way of showing gratitude for letting me live with them. So I take care of all the household work."

Lotus heard sniffling and looked to Kurumi. The woman had small tears prickling at the side of her eyes as she held a handkerchief over her mouth.

"How touching. Your such a sweet young girl!" Kurumi said

Lotus smiled, "Thank you."

"My little Kusuo is going to be in such good hands with you around."

Lotus felt her face go red again and quickly focused her attention back on the cooking pot before her.

Lotus was saved from any more embarrassment as the doorbell rang.

"Oh, a visitor! I'll get it!" Kurumi sang out leaving the kitchen.

Whoever was at the door was a rather impatient individual as they continued to ring the doorbell in rapid succession.

Lotus was mid-way through draining a pot of noodles into a colander when a shrill scream echoed through the home.

"Ahhhhh!"

Lotus, startled by Kurumi's scream, dropped the pot.

"Crap!"

Lotus thrust her hand out and the noodles were encased in a pink light. The food's descent to the floor was stopped as the noodles floated midair, but Lotus wasn't able to react quickly enough to catch the falling water.

"Man…." Lotus sighed. "At least I kept the food safe. I need to clean this mess up."

Lotus floated the noodles into a bowl as she brought out a rag going to clean up the water.

"Wonder what caused her to scream like that? Maybe she saw a bug?"

Lotus shuddered at the idea. She was unaware of the chaos ensuing since she had yet to take off her telepathy blocking ring.

Now the reason why Kurumi had screamed in such a manner was due to the fact that she was surprised, very surprised, as a celebrity was standing right in her doorway.

"Sorry to pop in like this. Is the residence of Kusuo Saiki?"

The top idol Mugami Tooru, real name Teruhashi Makoto, has arrived on the scene.

Kuniharu blinked staring at the teen before him, he looked into the living room where he could see the TV which so happens to be featuring the very star before him.

"Oh my god!"

Kurumi and Kuniharu started freaking out shouting so loud they could probably be heard all across the neighborhood.

"Stop, you're scaring the neighbors."

After the married couple settled down they went into host mode. They brought Makoto back to the family room along with Saiki, giving both boys some tea.

"Here you go," Kurumi said

"Thank you very much." Makoto turned to Saiki who was sitting across from him. "Kusuo do you remember how you and I bumped into each other at the movie theater early today?"

As Makoto talked Saiki sort of phoned him out.

"I don't want to have to deal with this weirdo in my own home but it's better than him ambushing me on the street."

"-You see people always assume that two hotties like us are dating. But Kokomi is actually my younger sister." Makoto explained

"Wow, you're related!" Kurumi gushed

"Yes, I already knew all of this."

"Tooru Mugami is a stage name. I'm actually Makoto Teruhashi. Anyway, Kokomi's super freaked that Kusuo's got the wrong idea about us, so I came over here to smooth things over," Makoto said

Saiki's parents started to gush again.

"Please stop saying stupid things."

Kurumi looked at the clock noting the time.

"Oh, I need to check on dinner."

Kurumi and Kuniharu got up leaving the room.

Makoto smiled watching them leave, "Man I wish our parents were as chill as yours were Kusuo!" He spoke rather loudly. "Probably best they leave though cause I have another message I'd like to give and it's super serious. Stay away from my sister you piece of filth. I don't know if you're crushing on her in school or what, but shut it down. She's way out of your league pink-haired four eyes."

"Wow I already knew you felt this way but I never thought you would tell me to my face even I'll admit this stings."

"Your just a fly hovering over poop."

"Wait is Teruhashi the poop in this metaphor?"

"You really think you have a chance?"

"I'm not thinking that."

"Since you see her every day and say hi to her in the hall you'll probably think you'll have some long courtship and marry her huh?"

"Not thinking that either."

"Well stop dreaming you pervert."

"How many times do I have to say this?"

"She's so pretty you're drawn to her like hyenas are to a rotting zebra carcass on the Savannah. But it's only natural."

"Now she's rotting flesh?"

"Kokomi is no normal pretty girl. She's a masterpiece painted by god himself!"

"That's an exaggeration."

"There only one man suited for Kokomi, which actually brings me to my next point stay away from my lovely goddess of the blooming flowers, Lady Lotus."

"Seriously?"

"You're not worthy of being near such a woman, just for a lowly insect such as yourself to merely gaze upon my Lady Lotus should be a crime."

"When did she become yours?"

"When I first laid eyes on her it was obvious that her beauty surpassed that of the common man, but when we talked I was struck, by the powerful beauty that exuberated from within her. She is far above any earthly plain and is a goddess who walks this earth!"

"Is exaggeration your special skill?"

"Her skin flawless like that of the most highest quality porcelain dolls. Her pink flowing locks that cascade like waves. Those alluring pink eyes that can entrap any creature. Those supple punk lips like perfect cherry blossoms floating in the wind. And the figure crafted to perfection. She is beauty incarnate!"

"I'm starting to feel uncomfortable here."

"Lady Lotus's beauty can blind any man. She's like staring at the sun. I'm not sure what relationship you hold with Lady Lotus but it ends today. Let's be honest you fall drastically short of my Kokomi but your universes away from Lady Lotus."

"Talk about harsh."

"You see one day I'm going to marry the goddess. The only man who even comes close to being worthy to gaze and caress her perfect divine body is me!"

"He's not just harsh but a pervert too."

"And when I do marry the goddess we'll create the most perfect children this world has ever seen! Each one more heavenly and beautiful than the next! Men and women alike will worship the very ground they walk upon!"

"He's straight delusional."

"Then and only then will the perfect man for Kokomi come forth. As the perfect man for my sister is my future perfect son!"

". . .Did he really just say that?"

"You see I've been with Kokomi since birth."

"Because your siblings."

"So only I know the perfect man worthy for her. I'll never let some ugly nobody lay a single hand on her. The perfect man for her will only come from the most perfect people on this planet which is me and the goddess Lady Lotus! Hahahaha!"

Makoto started to laugh as he hugged himself in a creepy manner.

"Does he not realize their ages would be too far apart and that's just one of the many things wrong with what he just said. How did his parents let it get this bad? Obsession doesn't even cover how this freak feels."

Makoto turned to Saiki giving him a glaring smile.

"Don't you dare come near my precious sister nor my future wife. Don't look at them, don't even breathe the same air as them."

"What a pain. I got the attention of a real nut job."

"Hey, Saiki-!"

The door to the room opened and Lotus was standing there holding some plates.

Makoto was frozen staring at Lotus, the girl staring right back confused.

"Uhm….am I interrupting something?"

"This is going to get worse isn't it?"

Makoto shook off his stupor putting on a charming smile. "Greetings, Lady Lotus. What a remarkably pleasant surprise to see you. When I came to visit Kusuo I had no idea I'd run into you as well, what a stroke of wondrous luck."

"Uhm...sorry but who are you again?" Lotus asked

"GAH!"

Makoto went stark white, his jaw dropped hanging wide open. He was frozen in place his soul slowly leaving his body. Saiki wore a small smirk adjusting his glasses.

Saiki - 1 Makoto - 0

Despite the fact Makoto sent Lotus several gifts he never signed his name, assuming that she already knew who he was. What Makoto did not take into account was the fact that Lotus paid very little attention to celebrities. She only knows the guy as the weirdo who keeps sending her strange gifts.

Saiki, satisfied with Lotus's reaction to Makoto, stood up.

"Time to send him home."

The doorbell rang grabbing the rooms' attention.

"You have a visitor."

The door to the room slammed open revealing the younger female Teruhashi.

"Kokomi?" Makoto questioned finally being jolted out of his despondent stated.

"What are you doing here?" Kokomi cried

"What are you doing here?" Makoto countered

"I called her. I thought to Teruhashi using telepathy. Now take this perv home."

Lotus, rather confused as to what was going on, kept looking back and forth between the siblings as an upset Kokomi was shouting at her brother.

"Now, now, I only came here because I know you thought that Saiki got the wrong idea. Right?" Makoto said

"How do you know I thought that?" Kokomi questioned

"I'm your big brother. I always know what your thinking. Anyway, you don't have to worry I explained it all." Makoto said

Kokomi's distressed look turned into one of relief. "~Oh that's so sweet….wait!~" She turned her attention to the other male present in the room. "~No! No! If he explained it now Saiki knows I was worried I got the wrong idea!~" Kokomi's upset expression came back tenfold.

"I'm always here for you si-"

"Why…"

"Huh?"

Kokomi was so upset she was shaking. "Why did you have to stick your nose into my personal life? I hate you big brother! I hate you!"

Makoto's world crumbled around him as Kokomi shouted those three words to him.

"Guy looks crushed."

"Don't ever talk to me again!"

Kokomi turned running out of the room, as she exited she finally noticed the other pink-haired individual within the room.

Lotus sweatdropped seeing the shocked look on the other girls face as she ran out of the room.

As Kokomi left his house, Saiki could hear her rather wild thoughts the entire time.

"~Why was she in there?!~" Kokomi freaked out. "~First the movies and now she's at his house. How is my rival so close to him?! How much time do they spend alone? Not like I care or something like that but how is my rival grabbing so much attention?! This is unfathomable! Ahhh!~"

Kokomi left the residence leaving behind her brother.

"Don't leave him here."

"I am beyond confused right now."
