I Love You Again and Again

Chapter 18

Yoshinori invited Katashi to walk at the beach since he couldn't fall asleep... Well, you can say forced Katashi to go with him for a walk.
Katashi: " (sigh) Why do I have to accompany you? You can not sleep it's your problem. I'm sleepy." Said Katashi annoyingly.
Yoshinori: " Because you are my brother." said Yoshinori with an obviously fake smile.
Katashi sighed hopelessly. While Yoshinori and Katashi were having their daily brotherly argument while walking, Yoshinori stopped. Katashi stopped walking as well as Yoshinori has stopped, and as he was walking behind him.  Katashi looked on the way to where Yoshinori was looking and saw Saira and Kaori together chatting and laughing looking so familiar and closely acquainted.
Yoshinori: "... Usually Kaori won't chat with any girl, right?"
Katashi: " What are you talking about, he talked to her this morning when they first met."
Yoshinori: " Well, that's normal. I mean, I'm talking about how Kaori usually is. Usually, he won't have any conversation with a girl he just met or know, and even if he did he won't make it look so intimate like that and laugh and care for her like that... Do you think..."
Katashi interrupted Yoshinori saying " Maybe he has changed, after all, we did not meet for a long time. And don't make it like that and assume things without knowing the truth." Said Katashi annoyingly.
Yoshinori: " Why are you annoyed? I was just saying..."
Kaori noticed Yoshinori and Katashi standing not far from them, arguing. Kaori told Saira and they walked towards Katashi and Yoshinori.
Kaori: " Oi, what kind of topic made the ideal brothers have this argument?" said Kaori curiously.
Yoshinori: " Well, we..."  " I was annoyed of him for making me walk with him when I'm sleepy." Said Katashi interrupting Yoshinori.

Kaori: "Is that so? Oi, Yo, how could you do that to someone's sleepy? You know..." Kaori kept lecturing Yoshinori, while Yoshinori was defending himself.
While Saira was smiling faintly, looking at the boys arguing actively, Katashi looked at Saira at the side.
Katashi: " Saira-Chan, What are you doing here?"
Saira turned to Katashi speechlessly, doubting her ears. She was surprised that Katashi called her by her name, cause usually, Katashi has been always calling her by her surname. While Saira's brain was processing the situation, Katashi called for Saira again, which made Saira's heartbeat beat fast, and cleared all her doubt.
Katashi: " Saira-Chan?" said Katashi worriedly.
Saira: " Ah! Umm... I... I couldn't sleep so I came for a walk." said Saira with a flushed red face.
Katashi: "... Is that so? ... With Kao..."
Kaori: " No, we met coincidentally."  Explained Kaori interrupting Katashi, and giving a wink to Saira.
Katashi heard Kaori but did not turn to him or gave him attention.
Katashi: " Anyway, I think you should go to sleep now, it's so late and it's cold. You may catch a cold." said Katashi ignoring Kaori's presence.
" Oi! I'm talking here! Hello?!" Said Kaori, trying to get Katashi's attention

[ Day of Leaving ]
Usagi: " Ah~ I don't want to leave ~ Uncle ~ Let's all stay here until the day of the school opening~, " said Usagi while hugging her uncle.
Usagi's uncle, Daichi chuckled to his cute nephew.
Daichi: " Me too, I would like to. However, we all have work which has to be done, my dear. Also if you stay here for a long time you will get tanned." Said Daichi lovingly to Usagi.
Usagi sighed and nodded her head as there was no other reason she could say to convince her uncle. With that Usagi walked towards the car letting out a long sigh.
When Saira was about to get into the car, Kaori called for Saira and walked towards her.
Kaori: " Saira-chan, give me your phone for a second."
Saira gave her phone to Kaori and looked at him cluelessly.
After few seconds Daichi gave Saira her phone back.
Kaori: " Let's be in contact." said Kaori while smiling gently.
Kaori left after giving Saira his phone number, leaving Saira dumbfounded for a second there. However, she felt happy that she got to gain another friendship.

The Kobayashi family and Saira arrived home safely. Everyone went inside the house exhausted but delighted. They refreshed themselves and had dinner together. After the dinner, Saira received a text message from her cousin from her father's side.

Mark Endo, Saira's cousin, and  ( Saira's father) Masahiro's nephew. He is the youngest outstanding lawyer internationally and the Ceo of the (A'Z international lawyer's group). He is 24 years old. His father is Izumi Endo, Masahiro's older brother, a well-known international lawyer, and the chairman of the (A'Z international lawyer's group). His mother, is a British beautiful elegant yet charming woman, Elizabeth, is the Owner of the well-known skincare brand (Fluent) in the united state, and her father is the Chairman of (The Royal ) the famous and the richest real estate company in Britain.
Mark is fluent in Japanese, English, Spanish, French, German, and Chinese.
Whenever and wherever Mark goes he gets chased by young women, because of his exotic charming, handsome looks, background...etc.
Mark came to Japan, Tokyo because of some business and he wanted to have a serious talk with Saira and tell her about something important. However, he has been stalked and chased by some young women since he arrived in Japan, Tokyo. Although he had his secretary to deal with them, they still followed him. He used to sue them for stalking and interfering with his privacy, however, it did not work. No matter how many times he sues those women who stalked him, they just won't give up. Therefore, Mark texted Saira and asked her to dress up and come to his location to help him up and at the same time, they could sit and talk together.

Mark used to visit Saira and accompany her a lot when she was under her grandmother's care, but as he got into his career pretty early he got busy, and therefore he gradually stopped visiting so often and would sometimes text her when he would have the time.

When Saira received Mark's text message she smiled faintly and recalled back the memories she had with Mark and " He must have grown more handsome and more charming, and he is troubled now, huh" thought Saira.
" SOS 👗"  and sent his location. That's how Mark texted Saira in shortcuts which means "Emergency, please help and dress up nicely."
And Saira understood what he meant. Though it's been a while since they have talked or met each other however they understood each other very well.

Usagi saw Saira smiling while looking at her phone so she asked her if there is any good news that made her smile like that. However, Saira shook her head " nothing much " said Saira while smiling so brightly at Usagi.
Saira then asked the Kobayashi couple if she could go out for a while, " Of course my dear. Take your time however, please don't come back home late." said the couple.
Saira thanked the Kobayashi couple and With their permission, Saira went to her room excitedly.
After Saira went to her room upstairs " It must be a boy, no I'm sure of it 100%" said Usagi to Katashi and her mother.
" I don't think so. She did not have any friends in school or any boyfriends and I don't think she had made one while she was the whole time with us." Said Katashi.

"You are mean!" said Usagi.
" Don't get emotional, I did not mean anything bad. I was just saying and telling a fact," said Katashi.
" Yes, that's true, however, the way you said it was a little bit..." said Tadame.

Everyone got quiet as they heard Saira's footsteps coming downstairs from her room. And they saw how Saira was so excited and happy and all smiley, dressing up a little bit maturely and delicately so that she could look a little bit older than her age and suitable enough to stand beside her cousin, Mark.
"Ittekimasu~," said Saira before leaving the house. " Itterasshai~," said the Kobayashi couple. Usagi watched Saira going until she vanished from her sight, while Katashi looked at Saira with the corner of his eyes until Saira left the house and vanished from his sight.
Then suddenly everyone looked at Katashi as if they were telling him " Did you see that? "
However, Katashi remained calm and quiet.

" It's a boy! Who is it? When? How? " Said and asked Usagi excitedly.
"Well, if you are curious you can go and see?" said Taiyo.
" Dear~ What are you saying? That was not nice. You can not do that!" Said Tadame trying to retrain herself from showing her curiosity.
" Right! We can follow her. Let's go, brother." Said Usagi excitedly, dragging Katashi with her.
" Will they be alright?" said Tadame Worriedly.
" Well, aren't you also curious, Honey?" Said Taiyo with a smirk and while giving Tadame a back hug
