Silver's Effect

Koyuki

i felt my eyes widen as i looked up at the temple before me.

quickly i glanced at ryoma before looking back at the temple and asked in a hesitant voice "so you and your family are really religious?"

i could feel a nervous sweat start to drip down my spin as i imagined some sort of god fanatic waiting to greet us at the door hoping to convert any newcomers they could find.

 ryoma thankfully shook his head as he said "not really."

i rose an eyebrow at him as momo elaborated "his dad is just really lazy and likes to pretend to be a monk! he is accually kinda perverted though."

i blinked slightly before looking back up at the temple.

"so your dads a perverted monk?" i asked in confusion as i followed the two teenagers through the gates.

ryoma gave a bland look as he simply said "yeah."

i giggled a little as a man came into view.

he was lazily lounging beside a bell as he read the newspaper.

ryoma sighed before pulling a tennis ball from his pocket and threw it at the man as hard as he could.

the ball effortlessly zoomed through the air before hitting the man right in the middle of his forehead. 

almost as if slow motion the man fell over to reveal a magazine hidden behind the newspaper.

"mom doesn't like you reading those dad." ryoma said as he crossed his arms and started to walk towards a house that was behind the temple.

momo started laughing until he was bent double and having trouble catching his breath at the poor man who almost seemed unconscious if not for the constant twitching of his foot.

momo laughed just a bit more following ryoma towards the house, prompting me to follow along as well.

i glance between the teenagers backs and the man on the ground, trying to figure out what to do before the magazine caught my eye.

the pages were covered in nude women.

i furrowed my brows slightly before jogging to catch up to the guys.

so his dad really is a pervert.

an uncomfortable feeling settled in the pit of my stomach as a single thought flowed through my mind.

'maybe i shouldn't be here.'

slowly as i looked up i realized i was looking back into the golden brown eyes of ryoma.

he glanced behind me towards his dad before saying in a quiet voice so momo wouldn't hear "don't worry he's harmless."

i blinked in surprise before letting a shy smile come to my face as i said in an equally quiet voice "sorry, im just not used to meeting new people very often."

he shrugged as he looked back to the house that momo was now entering "well, aside from my dad, the rest of my family are nice enough. so you shouldn't worry."

i could already hear momo happily yelling something about sticky buns as we stepped through the door.

sure enough as soon as we where inside momo shoved a rather large plate full of mini sticky buns in my face as he yelled "look! ryoma's mom is the best for making us these!"

i laughed slightly before looking up to see a beautiful brunette woman smiling affectionately at momo before her hazel eyes landed on me.

at first surprise flitted through her eyes before pure excitement took its place and she quickly stepped towards me and took both of my hands lovingly in hers.

 i blinked in surprise as she started talking fast in pure happiness "i never would have guessed that ryoma was bringing a girl home! my look how pretty you are! what's your name? are you two friends or together? how did you two meet? what would you like me to make you for dinner?"

ryoma sighed loudly before saying "she's just a friend mom. give her a little space your suffocating her."

she blinked before looking at ryoma with soft eyes that seemed to have tears in them and stepping away. 

i took a deep breath before bowing politely and saying "hello ma'am my name is koyuki naoko! i am your sons seatmate in school however we met four years prior to that on the tennis courts! as for dinner i am not a very picky eater so i will eat anything you make!"

i didn't realize i was almost yelling my introduction out of nervousness until i had finished and the room got very quiet.

i took a tentative peek up at the woman to see shock written across her face for a few seconds, before long though she let a little spurting sound out that turned into full out laughter.

i straightened out and gave a slightly confused look as ryoma started laughing along with momo.

momo took a few steps closer still chuckling as he threw an arm around my shoulders and said "man, when you said you don't really have any friends i thought you were kidding. just lighten up and don't be so nervous! nobody is going to bite you for saying the wrong thing!"

i looked down at my feet as a dark red stained my cheeks.

the woman stepped closer again and pinched my right cheek lightly as she laughed and said "you are so cute koyuki, you can call me rinko dear!"

i smiled and nodded with the red still on my cheeks.

suddenly there was a bang behind us as the pervert from before slammed his hands on the doorframe while panting as if he had just ran a marathon.

"i thought i heard a girls voice! did ryoma finally bring his girlfriend home for me to inspect?" he asked in a deadly serious voice with a glint in his eyes.

i gulped in slight terror as rinko pushed me forward slightly as she said "she's right here honey!"

ryoma grew an irk mark and looked like he was about to deny the girlfriend bit, but momo covered his mouth before anything could come out.

the man grabbed me by the shoulders and turned me to the right slightly before turning me to the left. he stepped back with his pointer finger and thumb on his chin as he gave a thoughtful nod and started to mutter "wide hips, perfect for birthing children. slim yet strong waist, toned legs, a little flat chested but very pretty face."

i felt my face turning redder with every comment before finally he held a thumbs up at ryoma and said with a wide sparkly grin "i approve son!"

i cleared my throat and said in a somewhat high pitched embarrassed voice "im not his girlfriend sir!"

the man blinked before shrugging and saying "what a pity, my name is najiro by the way. just because you aren't his girlfriend now though doesn't mean you won't be later down the road."

he then winked and teasingly stuck his tongue out at ryoma before walking out of the house again.
