Chapter 5

Pls read the Author's note at the end.

Rina sneakily opened the gates of the mansion in front of her. The said building had three story house, the wall was painted in cream white, matching up the stoned walkways.

The fences that were made out of thick layer of metal were surrounding the whole area to prevent any Intruders to come. It made the place even more beautiful as the trees and some different kinds of flowers were placed in every corner.

The oak door was colored in a chestnut shade of brown, not the food of course, but thinking of that made Rina's stomach grumble.

Opening the browny-like door slowly, the pinkette peaked her head inside before entering fully and closed the door. She let out a sigh of relief, but was cut short when a voice spoke monotonously.

"You're late..."

Her heart skipped a couple of beats.

A dark brown haired boy was standing behind her and a soccer ball under his foot. His left hand was resting on his hips and his green eyes couldn't be seen as it were closed.

He opened his eyes and shifted his gaze towards the girl in front of him, his face void of any emotion. "Rina."

Rina nervously faced her brother. "T-tadaima, n-nii-san.." She muttered, her voice trembled as her brother's green eyes were staring at her intently.

"Where were you?" He asked. His eyes not leaving her.

"Uh... I..."

A moment after, Rina couldn't process what had happened as it was fast but all she could say was her brother, her dear brother that was serious and emotionless earlier, engulfed her in a tight hug and crying his heart out.

"OH RINA YOU DON'T KNOW HOW WORRIED SICK I AM! I THOUGHT SOMEONE ALREADY RAPED OR KIDNAPPED YOU--"

"Nii-san."

"BUT THERE IS NO NEED TO WORRY, I WILL COME AND RESCUE YOU IF BY CHANCE IT HAPPENED--"

"Nii-san..."

"I'M GOING TO USE MY SUPER-DUPER BROTHERLY TECHNIQUE TO TERMINATE THEM FOR Y--"

"NII-SAN!"

"WHAT!?" Kaito looked down at his sister, he was about to complain of having a moment of worriness towards her but didn't continue when he noticed the frown that covered her face. "What's wrong?"

Rina shook her head. "It's nothing." She looked to the side then back at him, her mouth curved into a smirk. "Never thought that you'll reveal your true colors in front of me, dear brother."

The dark brown haired boy's face flushed. "Am not!"

Next morning, Rina went to the kitchen to find her brother wearing an apron and was making breakfast. She lazily walked in and sat on the chair that was nearest to her.

Kaito went to the pinkette and put down the freshly cooked pancake in front of her then put down his on the opposite side of the table.

Rina didn't move, she was too deep in thought to notice the fluffy breakfast placed in front of her.

What are they doing here anyway? They were supposed to find their parents who abandoned them at the orphanage years ago, but a friend called and was seeking help to find someone they didn't even know the slightest. All they knew was that someone has a pink hair and he is a student. Just like someone that Rina had bumped into, though she's having second thoughts about that person being their target.

"The food I made isn't meant for staring but for eating it. Now eat up before it gets cold." Kaito remarked and ate a mouthful of the pancake he made, even if on the outside he's calm and serious, Rina could tell that he's a little upset that she's not eating or even appreciating the fluffy pancake he made with effort for them to eat and start their day.

Rina couldn't help but smile, she's glad she have a brother like him. "Right. Thank you for the food." She grinned at him, her hand touched the fork then also took a mouthful of the pancake. Her green eyes glittered in delight just as her taste buds met the fluffy food. "This is good."

The dark brunette froze. "Good?"

Rina stopped and looked at him with a raised brow. So he wants her to praise his cake eh.... maybe a little teasing wouldn't hurt?

"Yeah." Rina continued to eat as she tried to restrain herself from smirking at Kaito's dejected form. "Are you sure it's just good, nothing more?"

"Nothing more, I guess. The pancake's not bad, so it's good."

"I see..." Kaito lowered his head, Rina doesn't know if he's going to cry or not since his bangs covered his eyes. But that didn't matter to her as laughter came out of her mouth. The latter quickly raised his head and glanced over at the laughing pinkette. "Wha--what are you laughing at?!"

"Nothing. I just couldn't help it, you are too fun to tease." She said once she stopped laughing. Kaito became red as a tomato after hearing what she said. "Will you stop teasing me!" He yelled at her, though that only made her laugh even more.

Kaito sighed, this isn't going anywhere. "Stop laughing already... But that doesn't matter right now..." He narrowed his eyebrows at her and the tension around the two grew that even Rina stopped laughing.

"Rina, you... were thinking about the boy we are suppose to find, right?"

The dark brunette only received silence from the pinkette. "Or is it that you've already found him?"

"... I've found him."
