Keiji and Kurihara lay on the couch. One reading, the other on their phone. Kurihara looked at her younger brother. His brow was furrowed, and his eyes were narrowed. She flung a chip at his face. "Keiji, what's the matter? You seem disturbed."

Keiji ate the chip that landed on his face and sighed. "Some girl tried to get with Konoha-san, and I stopped her." Kurihara's eyes widened. "Really?" She didn't look mad, but she was blinking rapidly. Keiji nodded. Keiji expected an outrage, but she just laughed. "Nice going, Keiji! Thanks, I owe you big time."

The boy was surprised. "Aren't you mad?" He asked. Kurihara shook her head. "Sometimes it's best to forgive and move on. I'm not saying that I'm not going to kick Akinori's ass tomorrow." Keiji smiled. It was weird for his sister to be so calm, it must've been Konoha's doing. He really had an influence on her.

"Kuri!" Konoha opened his arms wide to his girlfriend. She put a hand up to silence him, and ignored his hug. "Save it. Who was that girl Keiji told me about?" 

At first, he looked like he felt guilty, but his expression changed. "Oh, her? I forgot her name, I think it was like... Kaneki?" He had clearly forgotten. Kurihara sighed, and accepted his hug—his arms were still open— and patted him on the back. "You're such a baby." Konoha was still visibly confused, but he added. "I'm your baby." 

She stroked his hair softly. "Yes you are. But I heard you were trying to make me jealous. May I ask why?" Kurihara asked. Konoha held her hand and stuck his bottom lip out. "Well, in truth I  was the one who was jealous. Lately I feel like you haven't been paying attention to me, so I just... well, you know the rest." He admitted.

Kurihara smiled, not the reaction Konoha was expecting. "Oh." She chuckled softly. "You needn't worry about that. No matter how busy I am, you're mine. And all you have to do is ask, and I'll clear up my schedule."

"Really? Even with Futakuchi? And Semi? And Kinoshita? And Kaori? And your brother? And—"

"Yes." She shut him up with a small kiss, and headed into the classroom. Konoha followed her wailing. "You can't just kiss me, then walk away, and expect me not to do anything about it!"
