"So, what Miya said was veridical?" Kaoru asks me.
"Yeah, I don't want our son studying in a school like this. Please, let's change it. Well, we are going to have to because he got expelled anyways," I say as I turn to face him.
"Alright, love," He chuckles as he puts his hands around my waist.
"Touchy much," I say, turning back around. Kaoru started to laugh and began to tease me.
Starting from then, that week was great. I honestly enjoyed being near Kaoru and Miya. Though I was nervous for Reki and his race against Aino. The boys did help each other for Reki to win the race. Who knows what will happen....I know. Reki will get hurt so badly. I tried talking him out of it, but he wouldn't budge.
It was finally the day for Reki and Aino to race. I made sure to pray extra today for Reki. He is definitely going to need the luck.
"Done praying, love? The race is going to commence anon," Kaoru asks.
"Come on, mom!"Miya whines. I soon got up and walked with Kaoru and Miya. When we got there, I saw Ainos staring at me with a smirk. I made sure to make no eye contact with him and just hold on to Kaoru. I'm sure that made Aino mad. I closed my eyes for a few minutes and when I opened it...Reki and Aino were gone with their boards.
"Oh lord," I say under my breath as I stared into the screen. As I knew, Aino started playing his games again. He thinks he is so good, that he starts to make his own fun by hurting people.
"Stop the race," I say quietly.
"Gomen, we can't do that in a race like this, mom," Miya says. "He really is done for."
Miya was right, Reki was hurt miserably by Aino. We all had to go get him and Langa held on to Reki. Reki held on to Langa for support.
"You haven't changed a bit," I say as I bend down and look at Reki's knees.
"What can I say, he was boring. So, I had to make it fun, my eve," Aino says, holding on to my chin.
"Fuck off," Miya mutters softly which Aino probably did not hear. "Let's go, everyone."
Sasha came running in as she panted.
"Did I miss the race?!" She asks as she tries to catch her breath.
"Ah, Sasha! Long time no see," Aino grins.
"You...," Sasha mutters under her breath as she held a fist. I put my hand on her shoulder and shook my head.
We all went back as Reki came over to our house with the others, including, Shadow, Langa, Sasha, and Joe. As we went inside, Sasha helped out with some wounds and I called Reki's mom.
"Konichiwa! You must be Reki's mom. I am Langa's sister," I say into the phone. "If you don't mind, can Langa and Reki have a sleepover today? Mhmmm! Of course, arigato!"
"So, can he stay?" Sasha asks.
"Yeah, his mom was fine with it. Now, Reki...see what you ended up with?" I ask as I bend down to him and flick his forehead. Reki looks down in embarrassment and pain.
"Don't worry about it, though. You worry about getting better first and then we will take care of the other things. Now, we have to find a way for Langa to not get hurt," Joe says. Everyone glared at Joe while I looked there in surprise.
"HUH?!" I say, staring up at him.
"Um...," Joe says.
"This is why no one tells you secrets," Miya says annoyed.
"Oh, my god," Shadow says, looking away.
"What am I missing out here?" I ask everyone.
"Well, we maybe have said that if Reki lost the race the bet was that he could race me," Langa says nervously as he shrugs.
"Nope, nope, nope, nope," I say. 'You're not going anywhere."
"Come on, neh-chan! I can do it! Besides, we can't run away from bets!" Langa whines."Langa, if you get hurt, mama will definitely not be able to handle it. She is also just recovering from father's death," I say, looking down.
"I promise, nothing will happen to me. I promise if something does happen, I will listen to you for an entire day!" Langa says, smiling.
"In that case...," I mutter softly and everyone grinned.
"Wait, so all of you guys are staying over for the night?" Kaoru asks as his eyes widened.
"Pretty much. Got a problem, pretty boy?" Sasha asks, stretching her arms.
"You're not getting alone time with mama," Miya says, laughing.
"Nah, I'm leaving. I have an early shift tomorrow morning," Shadow says, opening the door.
"Morning shift to see your crush or to do your job?" Joe teases.
"Shut up!" Shadow says, slamming the door.
"Well, I'm not making dinner," I say, sitting on the couch.
"I guess we are ordering out," Reki says, smiling eagerly.
"Who's paying?" Langa asks.
"I'll pay for Sasha," Joe says, holding Sasha's hand and kissing it.
"How can I say no to free food," Sasha says, shrugging and she turned her face and smiled as she blushed.
"Father will pay for me," Miya says, smirking at him and Kaoru rolled his eyes.
"I conjecture I'll pay for you additionally, Carla?" Kaoru asks me.
"You're fine, I'm paying for both Langa, Reki, and myself," I say, taking out my card.
"W-Wait! Are you sure? I understand your paying for your brother, but why me?" Reki asks, shrugging.
"I could ask you the same, Reki," I say, going closer to him.
"Huh?" Reki says, confused.
"How come you versed Aino? I know you knew he was very powerful, yet you did it for me. Why?" I ask.
"Because you're my best friend's sister, yet kind of mine too. I have 3 sisters at home!" Reki says simply.
"And yet your my brother's best friend, and an annoying person, just like Langa. So, why can I not pay for you?" I ask him.
"Guilt is charged..."
