12 Chapter 10

(A/N Notes: *Something totally useless here*)

"... And that's pretty much how it went I guess"

"I see, it was an... Interesting story, I guess, Takeru-kun"

I'm sitting on the sofa in Takeru's living room, together with his and my brother, as he told what was apparently the first time the two saw each other

"..."

And neither his nor my brother look good at remembering that phase of theirs

"By the way, Hideo-nii why are you here?"

"I have already sent you a message that I would be coming here"

"Yeah, you did... So why are you here?"

"I need some money!"

"Huuuuhhh?"

A shadow cast over Takeru's eyes and his hazel eye felt like it was glowing ominously... Now, I get why onii-san felt so scared back then... Takeru-kun is pretty scary when angered

"I'M SORY, I'M SORRY! IT WAS A JOKE! SO PLEASE STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT!!!"

"Is that so? Then why are you here?"

"You're still on that!?... Haa... Fine, you win. I had a fight with Akari, and she kicked me out of home"

"I see, then go apologize to her"

"Huh!? B, but!"

"Hm?"

"B, but she's the..."

"Hmm?"

"... But..."

"Hmmmmmm?"

"... I get it... I'll apologize to Akari later..."

"Good, now if you all excuse me, I'll go wash these cups and since it's pretty late I'll go prepare dinner for everyone. And Hideo-nii, be nice to Yuriko-san, got it?"

"Yes!"

... ... ... Takeru-kun is surprisingly imposing when he wants to... I should really never make him angry ever again

"Haa... He acts too much like mum"

"Hm? Takeru-kun acts very similarly to his mother?"

"Yeah, he does especially when he's angry he looks exactly like her, with the pressure and the feeling that his hazel eye is shining no different than her... Haa... That's really bad for my heart"

Hmmm... I can use this moment to ask more about Takeru-kun's past

"I see, and how was Takeru-kun like in the past?"

"How he was like? Well... I think I can safely he's pretty much the same, probably more antisocial than back then"

"I see"

So he was already like this, huh... It feels a little funny to imagine his younger self the way he's now

"And how about you? How did a beauty like you become his friend?"

"About that... All I can say is that we met each other by chance on some occasions and we ended hitting off pretty well with one another"

Yeah... That was pretty much it really, we just ended up getting along well with each other

"I see, then please continue to get along with him from now on"

"Of course, I'll gladly do it"

"And if it interests you I'm free this week"

"Ahem! Who gave you permission to try to woo my sister?"

"Shut up, idiot"

"HUUUUUHHH!? Do you wanna die?"

"Come on in if you're a man!"

"Here's your food, Hideo-nii, and Hayato-san"

"..." "..."

Hideo and Hayato were sweating a lot at having Takeru say that with a threatening tone and gaze with awful timing, and that was enough to make them sit back down and go silent, Yuriko only had a slightly troubled look to her. They all had dinner, and after that, they both went back home, Yuriko stayed a little more at his apartment

"Let me help you do the dishes"

"Hm? Oh! Thanks"

"Don't worry, it's the least I can do, for the dinner you made for me and my brother"

"Is that so?... But I'll still thank you for the help"

"You're welcome then"

"..."

"... So you get always get angry at your relatives when they mess with you?"

"!"

Takeru came to a complete halt when he heard Yuriko saying that

"So I was on dead-on target, eh?"

She said so with a little teasing tone in her words

"W, w, what are you possibly saying? I, I don't understand w, what you're saying"

"Fufu, worry not I won't blame you at getting angry at them"

"... Okay"

"But it was really amusing seeing a different side of you, this makes me really happy being your friend"

"Thanks, I also happy being your friend"

Their little chat left both of them in a good mood, and after a while, they finished doing the dishes. And now Takeru was seeing Yuriko off

"Then I'll be going now, Takeru-kun"

"*Nods* Good night, Yuriko-san"

"Yes, good night, Taker-"

"YURIKO-CHAN!!!"

"KYAAA!!!"

Then all of a sudden her brother appeared out of nowhere at full speed, crashing into her and making her go forward and fall on top of Takeru, who ended up stumbling as he tried to go back due to the surprise and only had time to brace himself for his fall

"Ooooowww... !"

Yuriko who lifted herself up after falling on top of him, saw a kiss mark on his left cheek, immediately making her blush as she quickly understood what happened

"Uuuuugh..."

"Ah! I, I'm sorry, Takeru-kun!"

"It... Is okay..."

Yuriko readily got up and pulled him up

"I'll give my onii-san a sermon later"

"It's okay, really"

He was rubbing his back that was hurting due to the fall

"Then, I'm off, Takeru-kun have a good night"

"Yes, yes, you too"

Yuriko then left Takeru's apartment and closed the door

"Ah! Sorry, 'bout that Yur-"

"Hayato-nii-san..."

Yuriko who was talking in a sorrowful tone just moments ago was now with an angry tone. And when he heard Yuriko calling him like that with her eyes closed while smiling, he knew that she was really angry at him

"Y, yes!"

"Shall we have a little talk?"

"I, I would l, like t, to humbly r, ref-"

"Huuuuuuuuuh?"

Yuriko slightly opened her eyes, and glared at him in a condescending way, making him feel that he was standing in front of a dragon

"Yes..."

He gave in and followed after her as she opened the door of her apartment

"B, but don't be-"

"Huuuh?"

She once again glared at him, and this time he even felt that her amethyst eyes shone for a brief moment

"Nothing..."

"Good, now sit straight here"

Hayato sit down in a straight posture, and he already began to feel his legs screaming of pain

"So do you have anything to say?"

"... You look awfully similar to Takeru-kun"

"Fueeeehh!?"

Yuriko's face quickly lost all the pressure it had, and in place came a blushing and flustered face

<Huh? Wait, now's not the time to be surprised, I need to use this time to escape!> "Y, yeah! You two are very similar that you two could even end up going out soon!"

"T, that may be so..."

Because she felt embarrassed, angry, and then flustered in a short period of time, she was being taken by her emotions

"And even more so since you have that ample chest of yo- OUCHOUCHOUCHOUCH!!!"

"You better be ready to face the consequences for what you just said!"

And Hayato lost his chance of escape when he said that about her, due to a certain event some weeks ago, and instead of making her more flustered, he only made her blush more and become angrier at him, that she ended up giving him an iron grip on the face

Meanwhile in Takeru's apartment

And when he entered his bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, he noticed a bright red color on his left cheek

"Hm? What this?... ... ..."

And when he turned his face to see it, he saw a kiss mark, making him go silent as his face slowly turned redder while he felt the feelings of embarrassment and shame surging inside him, so much so that he even felt slightly dizzy

Meanwhile, in a Taxicab

Heh! That Hayato must be having it rough right now, I sure of it!

"Hehehehehe..."

I'm definitely superior to him! Muahahahahahahaha!!!

Bonus

"Arf... Arf... Arf... Arf..."

The 6-year-old Takeru tired himself out trying to catch his brother in a fit of anger, while Hideo...

"Ahahahahaha! Did you think you could catch me? The Black mage of the Icy eye of destruction!"

"I, I think you should stop, B, Black..."

"Why? I just showed him who's the boss here"

"Uuuuuuuuhhh... UWAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!! AAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!"

"!?!?!?" "!!!" "!?"

And to the surprise of nobody, maybe to Hideo, Takeru began to scream and cry as the feeling of pain came in full power on where he was hit earlier

"OI! WHAT DID YOU TO YOUR LITTLE BROTHER!?"

Then an angry woman with red hair with a single streak of blond hair and hazel eyes arrived at the place the four where making Hideo and Akari freeze on the spot as they quickly grasped the horrible situation they found themselves in

"Hey... What's wrong Ta-chan? Why are you crying? Just look at and tell mommy what happened so that she can- !?!?!?"

"UUUUUUUUHHHH!!! MOMMY!!!"

when Takeru looked at his mother and hugged her while crying, her eyes opened so much that they appeared they were going to pop out at any moment, when she saw blood flowing out from the middle of his forehead

"Hi, hic, Hideo-nii, hic, s, shot a r, rock, hic, a, at, hic, me, hic, hic, hic..."

"Oi... do you care to explain Hideo-chan?"

She looked at him with a very intimidating aura around her

"H, he's lying!!!"

"THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN THAT FUCKING SLINGSHOT THAT YOU'RE HOLDING, YOU BRAT!!!"

Akari, Hideo, and Hayato both looked at the slingshot they all forgot about and turned completely pale

"Just wait a moment for mommy okay, Ta-chan?... You three better be ready to face the consequences"

" " "..." " "

The three for some reason we're seeing her hazel eyes glowing in anger, and they also felt that they had just angered a demon goddess that they shouldn't have, and now they were going to be utterly destroyed by her... The three had they butts spanked so much that they couldn't even sit right for three straight days, while Takeru was treated and pampered a lot by his mother, Emily, for some weeks
