Transition And Restart

"What the h.e.l.l? First real walking talking session this year . You a.r.s.e!"

But no matter how much Ryu grumbled he just couldn"t compare what they were doing now to his own attempt just days earlier .

It didn"t help that sis ran Urufu"s errands with a brightness in her eyes that hadn"t been there since Nao cheated on her .

"And Nao, you coward, you"ve not shown your face since . "

Which technically wasn"t true . His face had shown up more than once . Usually together with Kuri"s, on ads on billboards, television, the Internet and magazines . His fame grew, backlit as it was by Kuri who had stayed the sensation for half a year now .

"Kuri," Ryu started and glanced at his sister .

As every time before Kuri just shook her head . She grabbed his hand and leaned closer . "I"ll be there whenever she wants a shoulder to cry on, but I"m not interfering directly with Nao . "

"But they should at least talk, or let me punch his face . "

Kuri smirked and tightened her grip . Her hand was smooth and warm, just about perfect like anything else on her body .

"d.a.m.n, she"s not listening . " Ryu flashed his most winning smile at one of the new members from Irishima High, and got the predictable result in return, plus a small bonus . The girl threw Kuri an uncertain smile .

Ryu looked at his girlfriend just to find out what kind of predatory grin she had served the poor girl, but there was none, just an amused and welcoming smile . "OK, that one didn"t work . Let"s push her some more . "

"What was your name, again?" he asked the girl .

"Ryu, really! It"s Chiyo . She"s so cute so you really should remember her name!" Kuri said in mock exasperation and let out a bubbling laughter . It came to an abrupt stop, and Ryu felt her flinch .

"Now what? Oh, of course . "

That bell like laughter had rung farther than she planned . Further ahead of them Ryu saw Urufu turn, mesmerised by the sound .

"Well, you"re an a.r.s.e, so why don"t you just hurt a little bit more!" Ryu tugged Kuri closer, and for the first time since they agreed on her boyfriend girlfriend deal she tried to pull away .

"c.r.a.p, I didn"t mean for you to hurt as well . "

The thought barely registered when Ryu saw his sister beelining for Urufu . Some problem or another she hadn"t been able to help a team solve, Ryu guessed . Just as she reached her target she threw him and Kuri a measuring look . It quickly turned into an angry stare .

"What"s she up to?"

Noriko nestled in all the way under Urufu"s arm, and Ryu saw him give her a surprised glance while at the same time typing out some outline on a touch-pad .

"Is it really that cold?" Kuri"s voice said .

Both Ryu and Chiyo looked at the show playing out around Urufu . Whatever Noriko had planned, it worked in a way . Urufu"s face no longer displayed pain, but instead it showed discomfort with Noriko"s closeness .

"Uh, I think I"ll join Ai-chan," Chiyo said and made herself scarce .

Ryu followed her back with his eyes until she reached his ex . "d.a.m.n, goes both ways, I guess, he thought when the familiar lump built in his throat . " He wasn"t anywhere near over his former girlfriend . "Why did I agree to this stupid set-up in the first place? Ah, yes, Vogue would have forced another boyfriend on her otherwise . "

Was that even legal? Ryu doubted it, but then there were a lot of things that weren"t strictly legal, and s...o...b..z, in any of its forms, was infamous for being hard on the girls . Slave contracts his father once explained, and Ryu wondered how he knew . There never was an answer .

"Ryu . Ryu! Idiot bro!"

Ryu shook his head and stared at the apparition facing him . "Yes?" he said somewhat belatedly .

"Don"t yes me," his sister said . "Urufu needs the two of you to handle the next station," she continued and glanced at Kuri .

"You really don"t like to see Kuri and me together . h.e.l.l, I probably wouldn"t if I were you . " "Sure," he drawled and pretended he disliked being disturbed by his sister .

"You," Noriko said and pointed a finger at Kuri, "had better shape up or I"ll take him from you . "

"Huh?" Kuri said .

"Even if just for comfort, I"ll take him from you, so get your s.h.i.t in order and make up with him . "

"Language!" Ryu protested .

"Shove it, idiot bro! Fix that station and leave Kuri to me . " Noriko growled at him, and for a moment Ryu played with the thought of disobeying her . "You want to see if I"ve mellowed the last year?" Noriko threatened him .

Ryu caved in and made ready to help out with the next station . After he let go he started walking a bit brisker, but he only got a few steps ahead of the girls before he heard his sister again .

"Kuri, you can ask Ryu about me . Whenever I really put my mind to something things end up the way I planned . "

"What is this? A declaration of war?" And that was Kuri"s voice . It had an edge to it Ryu hadn"t heard for a while .

"Kuri, just trust me on this . If you don"t make up with Urufu in a week I"ll make sure he never as much as looks your way again . Your call . " With those words Noriko caught up with him and sprinted ahead of him all the way to where Urufu lounged by a stone wall and helped one team with a problem .

"This is bad," Ryu thought . "Really, really, really bad . Sis is scary whenever she gets that way . " She hadn"t, for two years now . That attempted **** scared her from acting too rashly . In a way Ryu felt happy that side of her had been restored . "Still bad . She got that part from mom, and dad always backs down whenever she"s in that mood . "

Ryu glanced at his girlfriend . "Do you have any idea how scary sis can get?" he thought when Kuri returned a quizzical look .
