Isabella looked up at Bairai shocked and blushed. "N-no we don't." she said and hid her face behind Kistuke. She couldn't believe he had just said that. No one had ever said that besides her brother. She peeked over his shoulder looking at Bairai.

Atsuko reached out and giggled happily touching the water and squeeled as a Koi nipped her finger and giggled. She then looked up in amazement and hurried to Sakamae's side. She stood gauking at the huge statue and then giggled and twirrled. "It makes me want to dance.' she said and then twirrled but stopped and held her side her eyes squeezing shut in pain. Michi was at her side in a second and put his hands on her shoulders. "Atsuko... Don't stress yourself.. Come sit..." he said softly and she nodded and gave a small sniffling squeek adn slowly walked to the table and sat in the cusiony chair adn leaned back slowly closing her eyes again as she keot holding her side.

Sakamae continue to look at the giant dragon, the gold seeming to sparkle from the candle light "It's soo preetty" He turns his head, giggling at Atsuko's comment, watching her twirl "Hehe" His eyes widening slightly as he noticed her stop and quickly hold her side. Quickly hopping from the fountain step, rushing over to her side "Atsuko.. Are you okay?" Looking at her worriedly. He stays by her side as they walk over to the table, ready to help her if she needed it.. Sakamae takes a seat next to Atsuko, shifting slighlty in the cushiony seat to get comfortable before turning to face Atsuko. lighlty placing his hand upon hers on her side "It'll be ok Atsuko... just try to concentrate on eating something ok"

Bairai couldn't help but let out a laugh at Isabella's reaction "Hahaha.. Of course you two do" He walks over to the bed, softly patting Isabella and Kisuke on their backs.

Isabella blushed more. She looked at Kistuke to see how he was talking all of this. She hoped he would get that she really liked him. She put her head on his shoulder to hide her face.

Kisuke looked up at Bairai and put his hand on Isabella's head. "Bairai, stop picking on her." He laid her down on the bed and tucked her carefully on the covers. "She needs to rest. Bairai... can I speak with you uhh somewhere?" Kisuke asked, getting up andwalking over to him.

Lilly gazed at Yoichi. She tried to say her favorite cereal name, to surprise him, but the words weren't coming out of her mouth. The name tingled on her lips but wouldn't process out. She frowned and sighed, struggling and giving up. She pointed to the cereal she liked, slowly.

Isabella looked up at Kitsuke surprised. "No Kitsuke don't leave me" she said reaching out her hand towards him. She didn't want him to leave her. SHe coughed and curled up under the blankets and kept looking at him. She didn't care if Bairai was teasing her she wanted Kitsuke to stay with her and realise that she thought they would be a cute couple.

Kisuke stroked her hair. "I wont be gone long. Get some rest you need it." He put Isabella under the covers. He motioned his head towards the door. "Bairai?"

Atsuko looked at SAkamae as he put his hand on hers and nodded slowly. She wrapped her hand around his and slowly lifted her hand from her side trying her best to fight and ignore the pain. She then smiled as the pain began to subside and blushed. "thank you Sakamae... And Michi..." she whispered softly and her dog ears perked up a little bit. She then slowly pulled the menu open and pushed it so she could share it with Sakamae.

Yoichi smiled looked at lilly and swore he nearly heard something from her. squatting next to her to be her hieght he looked at her. "Did you say something Lilly?" he asked hopefully as he slowly followed her finger and pulled out the cereal. "Is this what you want?" he asked kindly smiling reasuringly.

Sakamae smiled feeling Atsuko's hand wrap around his, his fingers lightly rubbing against her knuckles as she slowly moved her hand from her side. "Your welcome Atsuko. I hope the pain goes away soon" Sakamae moves closer to Atsuko, his leg brushing against hers.. leaning his head over her shoulder to look at the open menu.. His eyes moving quickly over the list "Oooh, that fancy fish dish sounds tasty" He moves his eyes to the left, to look at Atsuko.. "What do you think is good?"

Bairai couldn't help but snicker and shake his head upon watching Isabella's reaction. "Haha, see" He tilts his head to the side hearing Kisuke's request "Hmm... Sure.. Nothing better to do" Bairai moves a hand to open the door, stepping out into the hall "I'll be out waiting in the hall" closing the door behind him and resting his back against hte wall opposite the door.

Atsuko blushed as Sakamae's leg brushed hers and she leaned her head and rested it on his. She looked over the list and then smiled. "The nummy shrimp and fetta-fetta- how do you say that?" she asked curiously and pointed to the fettchini alfreado on the page and looked up at Dakamae curiously qonderin how you would say such a funny set of words.

Sakamae trembled softly, enjoying the feel of Atsuko so close to him, it made him feel calm and relax. Smiling softly as she rested her head upon his, lighting nuzzling her hair "Oooh.. shrimp is really yummy.. especially with some old bay seasoning" Sakamae laughed gently, looking closer at the menu to see the words Atsuko was pointing at "Let's see" Sakamae taps the fingertips of his right hand together in thought.. a small little quirk of his he developed whenever he thinks "That's pronounced 'Fet ta chi ni' 'Al fre do'"

Atsuko nodded at his shrimp statement and then giggled. "Ill have to try it with that seasoning." she said lightly andthen watched his curious little thinking fingers. She was tempted to grab them but refrained from the sweet temptation. "Fettachini Alfdo." she said and then giggled. "Alfdo! Alfrad! Ooohh I can't say it!" she said and shook her head lightly. Michi chuckled asthenosphere waiteress came and said his order. Atsuko looked up at the tall blonde girl. She had really pretty almond eyes. Atsuko blushed and innosently squeeked as the waitress walked over. "Youre pretty..." she said softly making the waitress blush and smiled. "Thank you what will you have?" she asked and Atsuko looked at the menu again. "Shrimp and fettachini alfdo." she said and then blushed as the waitress giggled. "Alright fettachini with shrimp." she said lightly and Atsuko hurried her face embarrassed into Sakamae's shoulder. "And what will you have?" she asked Sakamae lightly.

Kisuke walked out of her bedroom and carefully closedthe door behind him. He sighed uneasily and spoke. "So I'm not the only one who sees she likes me, I see." He half smiled. "To tell you the truth I don't know how I feel about her. She's cute, but she's been like my little sister for years." He paused, looking up at Bairai with a hint of sadness in his eyes. "I have no idea what I should do. I can't hurt her."

Lilly shook her head as Yoichi asked if she said something. She kept her head shaking touching her mouth. She couldn't talk. She wondered if she could ever speak again. She exhaled and nodded to the cereal question. He knew her so well and that made her smile. Smile like she never could around her family.

Sakamae smiled softly "Then I'll be sure to order some" tilts his head slightly to get his neck comfortable, causing his cheek to nuzzle lightly against Atsuko's cheek. Sakamae couldn't help but giggle softly hearing Atsuko try to say alfredo. "Hehe.. Sooo cuuute... I'm sure you'll get it eventually" Sakamae moved his head away and sat back as the waitress came to their table. still giggling softly at Atsuko's actions. As Atsuko buried her face against his shoulder, Sakamae raised a hand to pet her hair, turning his head to face the waitress "I'll have the same as her... Though may you include a small cup of old bay seasoning please" He looks across the table to Michi "Is that ok Michi sir?"

Bairai was leaning against the wall looking up at the ceiling, tilting his head to the side as Kisuke stepped out of the room "Heh, you'd have to be pretty blind not to notice it" Bairai shakes his head, standing straight up, moving his back from the wall "Well, if you want to get technical about everything, technically we're all related in one way or another" Bairai moves a hand to slap Kisuke on the shoulder, it was his form of a reassuring pat. He never could really control his strength "Well if you don't want to hurt her, then you just have to be absolutely honest with her.. For lies cut the deepest"

Yoichi smiled and then nodded. "Right you can't talk... I guess I must be going crazy." he said and chuckled. standing he ran ahand threw her hair before reaching up and grabbin gher a bowl and spoon. "Its my favorite too... Here I'll grab the milk..." he said and handed her the bowl adn box as he grabbed himself a bowl and the milk from the fridge.

Atsuko blushed deeply and the waitress smiled widely. "That's perfecctly fine." Michi said smoothly and then the waitress walked away. "I thought you were going to have the other thing?" Atsuko asked bashfully as she peeked up at Sakamae from his shirt and then burried her face into his shoulder again. She clutched onto his arm still and tried to calm down her blushing. "I hope I get it soon..." she murmered into his shirt.

Kisuke tilted his nose to the ceiling, staring at the dry paint drips and concentrating on Bairai response. After his speech, Kisuke hung his head so he was looking to the floor. He then lifted his eyes to Bairai and smiled. "Why do you always have to be right, you?" He chuckled lightly.

Lilly hung her head low as Yoichi reminded her she couldn't talk. If she could talk, she'd say how much she loved Yoichi and how much she wanted to be with him. She grabbed the cereal from his hands and set it gently on the table. She, then took the bowl and began pouring the cereal into them.

Yoichi hummed to himself and then set the milk on the table and the spoons. Opening it he poured the milk into the bowls and then scooped up lilly and tossed her in the air chuckling. "you need to smile so much more. you look beautiful with a smile on your face." he said holding her up as his long hair fell down the front of him. he then set her down in her chair and chuckled. "bon appitete."

Lilly nearly gasped as Yoichi lifted her up. She blushed and smiled widely with her teeth. She hoped this pleased him. She nodded, thanking him. She swiftly picked up the sppon and scooped up some cereal. She ate it, enjoying it thoroughly. She smiled. She took Yoichi's hand.

Sakamae smiled looking at Michi "YAY, thank you" He watched the waitress walk off before turning his head to Atsuko "I was thinking about it, but then I figured shrimp is much more yummy and way easier to eat then lobster" He blushes softly "Besides, lobsters are kinda.. weird looking" Sakamae smiles sweetly, trying to hide his blush as Atsuko clutched onto his arm.. "Hehe, you ok Atsuko?" His fingers lightly scratching the back of her head "Yes, I can't wait to taste the food"

Bairai shook his head as he laughed, patting Kisuke on the arm "Of course I'm always right.. I'm awesome" Bairai nods his head, starting to push Kisuke towards the door "Now go in there and get er tiger. Haha'

Kisuke let out a burst of laughter and placed a hand on Bairai's shoulder. "Thanks, man." He took a deep breath and went into Isabella's room.

(Short)

Isabella looked up and smiled widely seeing Kisuke walk back in. "What did you two talk about?" she asked looking at him curiously. She sat up so that he could sit next to her and patted the spot for him to sit.

Yoichi smiled widely and chuckled as he too, took a bite and ate the cereal happily. All thoughts were really non-exsistant. He was surprised as Lilly slipped he hand into his but didn't object. He then squeezed it lightly and smiled widely at her before returning to his cereal.

Atsuko giggled softly and then looked up at Sakamae. "They do look funny." she said softly an then giggled more. She sat back in her chair, still clutching his hand, and reached for her drink. "Oh would you like some pop Atsuko?" michi asked and she tilted her head at him curiously. "Whats that?" she asked confused shocked Michi.

Kisuke took Isabella's offer and sat down next to her on the bed. He placed a hand on the back of her head caressing her hair gently. "Listen, Isabella. I... know you love me. I make your heart skip a beat when you see me." He took in adeep breath. "But you should know... I don't know how I feel and it makes me sort of sad that I don't know if I can love you back. You have been with me through thick and thin and you don't know how greatful I am for that." He kissed her cheek lightly. "I'm so very sorry, Isabella."

Lilly smiled as she felt the slight tug on her hand. She looked deeply at Yoichi and then back at her cereal and atteded to it. She ate until there was nothing left but milk and soggy remains.
(I'm sorry short)

Yoichi finished his cereal quickly and then looked at Lilly. "Hey do you have any idea what you want to do?" he asked lightly and stood. He then stood and took their dishes putting them into the dishwasher.
((sorry short.))

(Sorry for delay, trying to plan out human pingball this Thanksgiving)

Sakamae giggled "Hehe, makes you wonder how they would look doing a little dance" Sakamae looked down at his and Atsuko's hands together, a soft smile dancing on his lips. His fingers lightly caressing her knuckles. Looking up and over to Michi hearing him "Yeah Michi sir, what is.. pop?" Sakamae's fingers on his right hand doing their little thinking taps against each other "I never heard of it.. is it foreign?"

Bairai watched as Kisuke went into Isabella's room again, standing out in the hall, quickly looking to the left, then to the right.. before slowly tiptoeing close to the door.. pressing his ear softly yet firmly against the door, trying to hear what was being said.
