The Zodiac Demon

Chapter 4

With a yawn, Rin groggily rubbed his eyes as he sat up in his bed. The first thing he did was look around the room and, like he expected, Yukio was sleeping in the bed across from his and everything was just normal. But, as he moved to get out of bed, he realized two things that were different. One, for once he didn't over sleep, and two, he remembered her wasn't the only one on his bed. Quickly remembering while looking over his shoulder to find Lucy, he scrambled out of his bed while making sure not to wake her.

"Oh man, so it wasn't a dream." Rin muttered. Just then, Yukio started to wake up himself.

"Rin, what are you doing up already?" Yukio asked, rubbing his eyes.

"I just woke up early for once, ok!?" Rin replied. After putting on his glasses, Yukio looked at Rin's bed to see Lucy still lying there. Since he came home late, Yukio didn't see Lucy in Rin's bed because Rin was blocking his view.

"What did you do Rin?" Yukio said.

"Wha!? I didn't do anything! She just, well, it was her idea for us to share a bed." Rin said, muttering the last part.

"It was her idea?" Yukio said, obviously not believing him.

"It's the truth, I swear!" Rin said. Because of all the yelling, Lucy began to wake up. She sat up on Rin's bed and stretched out her arms. All she was wearing was the extra long white t-shirt from the other day.

"Rin? What's with all the yelling?" Lucy said, still half asleep.

"Lucy! Sorry, didn't mean to wake you." Rin said.

"No, it's fine. Oh, nice to see you again, Yuki." Lucy said, getting out of Rin's bed.

"Good morning Lucy." Yukio replied.

"And thanks for agreeing to sleep with me, Rin. I would've felt bad if you slept on the floor." Lucy said.

"Oh, it was no problem. I just had to adjust to it." Rin said, scratching to the back of his head.

"Anyway, excuse me. I'll go change in the hall." Lucy said, grabbing the same clothes from yesterday, besides the shirt she already had on, to change into. Lucy then left the room and closed the door behind her.

"See!? It was her idea!" Rin said.

"Fine. You were telling the truth." Yukio sighed. The two of them silently got dressed since they both had to get ready for cram school. They both finished just as Lucy walked back in.

"Hey, are we going somewhere?" Lucy asked.

"Yeah. We're leaving for cram school. Hope you don't mind coming with us." Rin said.

"No, I don't mind." Lucy said.

"First we need to get something to eat." Yukio said. When he said that, Lucy's stomach growled which caused her to blush.

"Sorry. Guess I'm a little hungry." Lucy said while scratching her cheek.

"Don't worry. We have time, so I'll cook us all up something." Rin said.

"You can cook?" Lucy said.

"Yes. He's actually very good too." Yukio said.

"Really?! Then I can't wait to try some." Lucy said with a smile. They all went down stairs and Lucy and Yukio waited for Rin to finish making breakfast.

"Alright, I'm all done." Rin said, giving Yukio and Lucy plates with rice and eggs on them.

"Thanks Rin." Yukio and Lucy said. Rin sat down with them after getting his own plate.
