Chapter Three:

A Green Eyed Monster named Kyohei

-

It had been four full hours since Nakahara Sunako accepted a movie invitation from a male named Reiji Yukishiro. It was a miracle. One that should have delighted all of the members of the Nakahara household. That is except for one tenant.

Three of the boys were happily eating their ramen while one was glancing impatiently at the intercom.

Four long hours... oh, four hours and a half!

"Where do you think that Reiji guy took her?" Kyohei asked, pacing back and forth in the dining room. He glanced at the clock hanging above their fireplace. Thirty minutes and she would be out for five hours.

Takenaga smirked at him. "Worried, Kyohei?"

The blond scowled. "No."

"Sure. Alright." Takenaga put down his tea and grinned. "Isn't it great, though? That Sunako-chan is out on a real date right now?"

"Yeah," Yuki agreed, "I never thought I would live long enough to see it actually happen!"

Kyohei grumbled in a corner and Ranmaru noticed. He smiled slyly.

"Hey, do you think that Reiji would try anything on Sunako-chan?"

A nerve bulged on Kyohei's forehead. "No way. She'd pummel him if he even tried."

Ranmaru shrugged. "I don't know... I mean, she seemed awfully happy to come with him earlier. She even grabbed his arm!"

Takenaga and Yuki nodded feverishly.

"Who knows! They could be making out in a dark alleyway somewhere, professing deep and eternal love for each other!"

The nerve on Kyohei's forehead seemed to have pulsated, Ranmaru, Takenaga and Yuki noticed. (Yuki was mostly frightened.)

"She should know better than to go with the first guy who shows interest in what she likes." A low growl can be heard from the blond boy. "God, she's fricking slow."

Takenaga grinned. He and Ranmaru shared a knowing look.

"Jealous much, Kyohei?" Takenaga teased, his eyebrow raised.

"No." The sour look on his handsome face told them otherwise.

A buzz from the intercom got their attention and all four of them ran towards the door.

Kyohei reached the door first and yanked it open. "Do you have any idea of what time it is, you--?"

But it was only Noi. And she was looking at Kyohei confused.

"Have you gone insane, Kyohei-kun?" she asked, looking at Takenaga for any help. Takenaga shrugged.

"I thought you were Nakahara." Kyohei replied, rolling his eyes and heading towards the living room. "Tch."

"Well if it makes you feel any better, I did see her and Reiji-kun at this shabby yakitori shop downtown." Kyohei's ears perked up.

Noi grinned evilly.

"They were laughing up a storm. She looked really happy..."

Ranmaru, Takenaga and Yuki's eyes sparkled with happy tears.

"Yatta! This is wonderful. Sunako-chan has really begun dating!"

"This is very good news!"

"Ah, the beauty of love. Aishiteru!"

"Feh."

Noi laughed out loud, commenting on how ridiculously Kyohei looked when he was jealous. In which Kyohei's response was to rant about how stupid of her to think that he could be 'jealous'.

And then suddenly, they heard a voice.

"Did you see how the blood splattered from that creature of Light? It was so unrealistic."

"Kyaa, it's Sunako-chan!" Yuki and Noi exclaimed. They scrambled towards the door (all of them, with their ears on the wood of it).

"Still that was fun, no?" they heard Reiji say. There was a shuffle and then they heard something very strange...

A giggle. A very 'lady-like' giggle.

The boys (except for Kyohei) and Noi's eyes started to water in joy.

"I did have a good time. I needed that today." Sunako said.

"You're welcome. We should do it again next time? And I will assure you, it won't feel like a date."

Kyohei's ears perked and he listened very closely.

Sunako's reply shocked all those behind the door. "Sure, why not? When?"

"How about Friday night? I'll come by again to your school. Then we'll go to that horror movie convention downtown."

"That would be nice."

The doorknob suddenly turned. The eavesdroppers sprung away from the door, panicking.

"Do you want to come in and have some tea?"

The doorknob continued to turn. The spies desperately started to run back and forth to find a spot to make them look like they weren’t expecting the door to open at any moment.

Which it did… eventually, with the dark goth-girl sporting a glowing smile on her face as though she were… gasp in love.

“Alright, see you on Friday! Get home safely,” she said, bowing slightly.

Sunako closed the door and sighed heavily before turning her attention to the (perspiring) boys and Noi. She gave them a weary look.

“If any of you are going to spy at me again, do so with less noise. Reiji-san and I could hear all of you breathing through the door.” And with that, she turned on her heel and walked off towards the kitchen… leaving her friends shocked and confused.

“Ano… did that just… happen?” Noi said.

“Had a great date huh?” he said, surprising Sunako out of her reverie. She stood in the terrace, looking out at the garden in the dead of the night and turned to look at the person with her.

She rolled her eyes at Kyohei.

“One, it was not a date. And two, yes, I had fun. Great fun! One of the best days of my life even.”

A vein in Kyohei’s head popped out and he fought to keep his voice steady.

“Who the hell is that guy anyway? And how come we don’t know anything about him?”

Sunako shrugged. “I met him the day before yesterday. At the market. He asked if we can hang out and I said only if he gave me a pair of the earrings he had on that day. I didn’t expect him to suddenly show up – but I don’t regret it either.”

“I don’t see why you care,” she remarked, looking back towards the garden.

“I don’t care. But that doesn’t mean I shouldn’t know about these things. He might be a murderer for all you know… but then again, you might get turned on by that.”

”You’re a pervert.”

Kyohei’s vein popped out even more. God she sure knows how to annoy me…

“Hmrph. Anyway, I never thought I’d see the day that you get a boyfriend.”

“Very funny. He’s not my boyfriend.”

“Whatever.” Kyohei breathed, leaning against the wall. Sunako raised an eyebrow at him and noticed the vein on the side of his head.

She smirked.

“Are you jealous, Creature of Light?”

“No.” That came out way too forced. Sunako’s lips tugged slightly as if aching to smile (she didn’t know why).

He cleared his throat. “Why would I be jealous of some goth-boy anyway? He’s perfect for you. Misery begets misery.”

Sunako’s half smile dropped (as her heart did as well) and glared at him.

Oh shit, Kyohei thought as Sunako shook his head at him, I shouldn’t have said that.

Oh that bastard’s mouth, she thought and pushed past him.

“Fuck you.”

The dining room was filled with mouthwatering aroma early the next morning. The boys gathered mindlessly towards their seats as they salivated with what Sunako had prepared for them.

“Wow. What a feast, Sunako-chan!” Takenaga remarked, bowing slightly at Sunako as a sign of appreciation. Ranmaru and Yuki remarked her preparation as well…

Kyohei, however, just stared at his food and said nothing. Then he looked at Sunako (who incidentally looked over at him as well)… they both half-glared at each other before Sunako huffed and headed up to her room.

“Oi, Kyohei. What’s the matter with you now?” Takenaga asked, as he took a bite of the scrambled eggs Sunako prepared for him.

Kyohei shrugged and began eating.

“I heard you and Sunako-chan talking last night. Did you two fight or something?” Yuki asked.

Kyohei shook his head.

“Then what’s wrong?” Ranmaru inquired, raising an eyebrow.

The blond looked up and sighed. “Do you really want to know?”

The boys nodded and leaned in. Kyohei closed his eyes and sighed once more. “Last night… Sunako and I were talking about…”

The moment stretched…

“SOMETHING THAT IS NOT ANY OF YOUR BUSINESS!” And with that, Kyohei exited the room… leaving the rest of the boys shocked and shuddering in their seats.

“What the hell was that?”
