Soul-mate [Collab Draft v. 1.1]

Wait...What!?

Noroi stood there, dozing slightly, as Ian read him the verdict off of his computer.  It had only been two or three minutes since Ian had stopped poking him with his high voltage cattle prod, and he already expected him to be smiling and sitting pretty.  Noroi was the complete opposite.  He was leaning on Yukiko’s shoulder, looking drunken, and dead.  Noroi’s eyes fluttered open a bit.

“You’re perfectly fine.  Dunno how you did it, but you managed to recover without any medical equipment, or medicine.  In fact, you had no medical attention at all!”  Ian said as if he had just won the Nobel Prize.

“I don’t feel it after that right there,” he whispered to Yukiko.  She giggled slightly, and patted Noroi’s head like was a dog.

“What was that?” Ian asked as he paused Minecraft and looked up from his laptop.

“Oh!  Nothing.  Nothing at all.”  He replied as he displayed a false grin.

“Good!  Now, off with you!  Go finish your...what was it?  Sushi?”

“Tour, genius,” Kiyoko said from a chair just opposite the door.

“Ah, yes.  Well, scat then!” he requested, flailing his arms before returning to his game.

Noroi and Yukiko scooted out of the room, Noroi in tow, as Ian paused once more and turned towards his sister.  She sat there, seeming near to tears, with her face buried in her hands.

“What now sis?” Ian asked looking ever so slightly confused.

“Nothing.  It’s nothing” she muttered.

“I know you.  You’re jealous.  I know it.  You want to know how he can have that sort of connection so ‘soon.’”  He said, putting “soon” in air-quotes.  Kiyoko looked up.

“Why the air-quotes?”

“Well, it appears that this isn’t the first time they’ve met.”

“What?  How would you know something like that?”

“Weeeeell, I, being your OLDER brother, have been in the union longer than you have, and me being a techie means I can hack into anything with a capital ANYTHING. So I virtually know everything on her background.  And his background too”

“What?  Really?”

“Yes sir ‘e bob!”

“What do you know!?”  she asked looking both curious and excited to learn more about the two of them.

“Not telling!” he mocked as he turned back to his screen.

“Brother, don’t make me use my special ability on you.” she crooned, smiling wickedly.

“But that’s not fair!!”  Ian cried in response.

“Then tell me!  Please!!!”  I an just sighed.

“Fine.  Truth is, they didn’t just meet.  Yukiko’s real name is Haru Yoshida, and she’s from Noroi’s hometown, in fact, the same orphanage.  To add to it all, Haru is also his girlfriend.”  THUD “Huh?”  Ian looked over, to find his sister on the floor twitching, repeating the same word over and over again.

“Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Girlfriend?  Huh?????”

“Hmm....not quite what I was expecting, but close enough...” he muttered before laughing hysterically.

“I can’t believe it.......”

“Don’t worry sis.  It will all be fine.  Now go on!  You’re still covered in blood from earlier.  Go take a bath.  The girls bath area is somewhere over there.” he said pointing in the general direction of west.
