The Rose Of The Meiji Era • Rurouni Kenshin

Jealousy | Chapter 6

Arguments.

Is what went around the dining room. Not like anything Kenshin has seen in his life; A group of fine people, good intentions, respectful hobbies - But not a single compliment has flew anywhere in the room - And it was quite nerve wracking.

"Yuki, you're one bratty little bean, you know that?!" Jiro spat, filling his mouth with the food Kenshin and Yuki prepared.

The dark haired female huffed in response, "Don't call me a brat! You're the control-freak here!" She exclaimed angrily.

Kenshin, Tadashi, Mizuki and Natsumi glanced at each other; Almost all of them sweatdropping.

Jiro raised his brows in offence, "Control-freak!? Might I remind you, I'm the writer here!"

Yuki laughed sarcastically, "What, so you're saying just because you're seventeen and a writer, you're better than me? You don't even write anymore!" She told him.

Kenshin chuckled nervously, "Yuki-Dono, Jiro-san, perhaps we-"

"No, Kenshin! I wanna see where he wants to go with this!" Yuki interjected, crossing her arms under her chest.

Kenshin pouted, "Good bean jam..." He mumbled in defeat.

"Why did you even start this argument?" Asked Tadashi. "Because they don't get along, genius." Natsumi rolled her eyes irritably.

"You can't order me around in my house! It's not fair!" Yuki exclaimed and pouted.

"I didn't order you! I just asked if you could put less salt in the fish next time! Don't you appreciate constructive criticism!?" Jiro sighed, not believing the sight of Yuki in front of him.

Yuki fumed with rage, "No! I don't! Don't judge me or my fish ever again! If you don't like my cooking, then die of starvation, you rotten soy bean!" She spat aggressively, throwing her chopsticks on the surface.

Jiro sighed, "Yuki, I like your cooking, I really do. You just over did it with the salt this time, that's all. I'm sorry if I offended you, alright?" Jiro'a tone softened, and Kenshin watched the scene intently.

Yuki stood up, "You can stuff your sorry in a sack, Mister!" And with that, the brunette stomped out of the dining room and slid the door closed aggressively, causing everyone to flinch.

"Goddammit, that girl's got a mental problem..." Jiro mumbled and ran his fingers through his hair in frustration.

Tadashi had no feelings towards the incident and continued eating, "It's your fault, you know she's sensitive." He told him.

Mizuki sighed sadly, "Will Yuki-san be sad now...?" She asked softly.

Natsumi played with her food, "You're an idiot, Jiro-san." She casually commented.

Jiro chuckled sarcastically, "Thanks, Natsumi." He rolled his eyes at the younger girl.

Kenshin sighed, "This one will attempt to console her, that he will." He stood up, and sent smiles around the group.
