Let's Get Drunk (Open)

"No kissing," she said, pouting. "Not even from girls."

Kikisu looked at toshi, but shrugged. She still held her close. "Ugh, why am I so awkward?" she thought.

"Kikisu-nee-chan, why did you cry?" Toshi asked sadly. "Your heartbeat told me so."

"Toshi, remember what today is? We met, at least in this body, exactly one year ago. Remember where you found me?" Kikisu said with a sigh.

"....you cried over a picture of your family, I think," she recalled, voice soft. "....who did it, if I may ask?"

"You may baby. It was Orochimaru. But, I'm trying not to remember. That's the day you introduced me to him." Kikisu said, refering to Yuudai.

"Otoutou-chan?" she asked. She blinked and frowned. "You don't like lil bro?"

"No, I don't. He, *sigh* we're just .... it's compilcated baby. " Kikisu sighed. "I think I'm just now letting myself be angry over this." She said pointing to her perminantly bruised neck.

Toshi frowned and snuggled her close. "I'm a big girl. Tell me," she pleaded.

"I told you. I'm so sure myself. I think I'm just mad to be mad, but, ..." Kikisu sighed. "Baby, when I know, I'll tell you."

"He's a good boy," she said gently, giving her a smile. "I know he is. Don't cut him off."

"I know... but... I'm just not ready. Maybe its cuz I have Kazuya now, and I don't need him like I did. But..." Kikisu sighed. She didn't know how to say it.

"You love lil bro?" Toshi asked, giggling.

"What? No! NOt liek that." Kikisu said, sighing. "I love him in a way that wouldn't be compatible with a romantic relationship." Kikisu shook her head.

"I love him like a like a brother," she said, nodding. "I wanna play tag with him again."

"Heh, we watched clouds." Kikisu said, thinking back to one of those days.

"Kikisu?" Yuudai asked, looked down at her.

"Yeah?" Kikisu asked, smiling.

"Do you love me?"

"Of course! You're my bestfriend!"

"We did too! I think I made him stuck with it. We used to go cloud-watching everyday then eat ramen together and watch the sunset," she said, smiling. "He's my best friend too!"

"Us too." kikisu said sadly. Why had she brought this up? She thought she might cry.

"...Kikisu-nee-chan, your heart..." Toshi said softly. "Why so sad?"

"Baby, its nothing. Just the usual. I really don't have a reason to be sad....." Kikisu trailed off, looking at Satoshi.

He sighed. "Toughen up. Oromchimaru killed many families.

Toshi looked at Satoshi too and narrowed her eyes. She knew why he was moody. "Don't listen to him. He's just in a bad mood today."

"But he was right." Kikisu pointed out. She tried to never cry around Yuudai, and to never ever be sad around Sas-e. They had lost their entire clan, so... And why was Satoshi in a bad mood?

Satoshi stuck his tongue out at Toshi, who did the same to him.

"Oi. No fighting," Aiden warned.

"Sorry, dad." "Gomen, danna."

"Let's eat!" Goru said happily.

Kikisu laughed. "Mind if I join?" She asked smiling.

ooc
is she still holding toshi?

"Of course!" Toshi huffed, and started to push her to her seat, though she was much too small. "....ngh!"
