Chapter 6

"W-What is? Did I miss something? "I asked uncertainly, turning to him.

"No, don't worry. So your little sister is Yuki?" he asked, looking at me with a happy face.

"Yes... wait, is this your house?" When I asked, he just nodded.

His smile seemed like rays of sunshine on you, it warmed your heart, as if you could forget all the worries in the world. You immediately felt the need to smile with him. When I look at him so closely, he also has a handsome face... He's too charming, that's dangerous

We went to Akito's house, he was about to open the door, when someone tore it open before him..

"Brother!" he was embraced joyfully. A little red-haired girl looked at him with a smile. Her light blue eyes laid on me. She blinked her dark long eyelashes a few times and asked me "Are you Yuki's sister or are you Akito's girlfriend?"

"Yes, wait no." I replied confused. That was too fast for me...

"Leave it. Didn't I tell you to say hello first?" Barked Akito, turning to his sister.

She came out from behind Akito and apologized. Her white dress accentuated her pale skin. The contrast from the red hair made her look like a doll. Elegantly she greeted me like a little princess "Good evening, my name is Akaya I am happy to meet you and sorry if I was a little too hasty." I had to smile, she was even sweeter than Yuki had said. A little lady, she reminded me of a noblewoman. Akito stood proudly next to her, did he teach her that? I smiled at her and bowed to her. "No problem. My name is Kuro I am happy to meet you. The fine lady may happily call me by my first name."

Akaya laughed when I introduced myself and bowed as well. Yuki also came to the door and greeted me with a smile. But she changed quickly when she realized that we wanted to leave and said defiantly "I don't want to leave yet Kuro, can we please stay?

Akaya quickly jumped into the chorus and hung on to Yuki. The two hugged each other and looked at us with puppy eye.

"Don't look at me like that!" said Akito desperately and looked at me. He looked at me for help, but I just grinned. Finally, with a tense smile, he asked, "Hey Kuro, do you still have enough time to have tea with me?"

He gave in quickly, though the two also have a pretty cute puppy look. I giggled automatically. Akito and I hadn't had a chance from the beginning.

I nodded and entered the house. The two girls were beside us with joy.

"When we're done, we'll go Yuki." I said to the two. Without hesitation, they quickly ran to another room to continue playing.

Akito led me into the kitchen, it was incredibly neat. Amazingly colorful, maybe his parents like the whole thing?

Akito put on the water and asked me to take a seat. He himself leaned against the shelf and watched me as I sat down. His eyes were piercing, why did he look at me like that?

"Hey!" He spoke in a loud strong voice. Why does he make such an angry face? He took a step towards me and said, "You still haven't bandaged your hand!"

"A-and?" I asked shyly, "It's not bad, you don't have to do treat it." I answered him nervously. I sighed with relief, I thought it was something worse, but luckily he only meant that.

Akito sighed, he turned away from me and went to a kitchen cabinet. While he was picking something, he asked, "Are you always so neglectful with your body?"

I said nothing and looked at the cup. It's not that bad, it's just a burn. Why is he so worried? My body can stand it...

"You have a lot of scars on your arms." I flinched and covered them directly. There are a lot of small and bright scratches, so they don't really stand out. Akito continued, saying, "Today at noon you walked a little cramped, so minimal that no one noticed." He's right, my tailbone still hurt from the fall...

"You are good at hiding your own pain. You are... an amazing human." he says this and brought a first aid kit to the table.

Surprised, I looked at him. Am I?

"Give me your arm," he said with a serious look.

I held out my arm to him. He put a special cream on it, it was slightly reddish and smelled metallic. Then he bandaged my arm and said that it would be gone pretty quickly. This cream is said to work wonders. Before that, I thought that Akito was a lovely quiet boy, but he also has a pretty dominant side to him. He wasn't angry with me, but I felt I had to obey him.

We drank our tea comfortably. Akito and I also got lost in conversation, so Yuki and I didn't go home until around 7 a.m.

My mother was quite angry when we arrived so late, but because Yuki wanted to stay, she didn't think it was so bad. Because Yuki is her sweetheart, she can't be angry with her.

2 months passed. 10/13/2x36

Friday morning 11:20 a.m. second break:

Nothing interesting has happened in the recent months. The only thing that's new is that Akito is there. Yuki and Akaya meet almost every day. I pick her up every time and then still talk to Akito for half an hour. As a result, mother was very angry. Apart from that, I still had to prepare for the riding festival. Yuma and I will be the center of attention there. I sighed, I have become paranoid as well to this extraordinarily annoying everyday life. I felt watched. No matter where I was, a strange feeling came over me. It was like in a the dojo. A cold shiver ran down my spine.
