 "Yes ma'am."

"Hmmm,"Mother looked at him up and down making sure he was worthy. "This way,"As if satisfied she headed for Nani's old room."Just ignore all the little kid toys and you'll be fine.We all eat breakfast at about 10 o'clock every morning.You can provide yourself with the rest,"After showing him around she headed back to her room.Then Yuki let out a small sigh.

"Hahaha tough one huh?"I began to clean the toys up.

"Oh wait please!I-I'll help,"Yuki ran over and put his hand on a small car.

"Sorry!"My cheeks flushed pink.Our hands had reached for the same toy at the same time,"Ah um-"

"Do you love birds need help?"Joe's red eyes haven't settled down yet.

"Joe shut up,"My red eyes needn't get redder.They were already a deep red.Now that i think about it, the reason that i believed the lie that Joe being my cousin was because of our eye color. 

"I was just being nice,"He held up a hand and all the toys floated up and put themselves inside Nani's toy box. We both shot him a look of surprise.

"I ask for you not to use magic in the house,"Yuki walked over to the bed.

"You can't tell me what to-"Before Joe's stupid rant went any further I grabbed his ear and pulled him out.

"Have a good night Yuki!"I shut the door behind me."What's your problem!"

"What's MY problem?You mean what's HIS problem!"Though Joe towered over me my voice and words were twice as tall.

"Listen here.I won't allow you to be so rude to someone so gentle!"

"But listen to my reason!"

"Shut up!Your reason doesn't matter.What matters is as long as I'm around you won't taunt Yuki! Got it?"

"...Got it."

"Now we need to talk about those powers of yours,"I headed over to my room.

"What about them?"He closed the door as he entered.

"Teach me to fight too."

"What?"

"When you have powers you must control them.To control them you must be strong.To be strong you must train, no?"Joe nodded slowly.

"So then teach me what you know,"Determination filled my words.Joe only thought about my words.Still not answering.Please say yes.Anxiety engulfed my mind.
