Chapter 3 is here

Aiba POV

After all, I didn’t want to go to his house. It has been a tiring week for me with those recordings. But seeing his smirk, I know he was pulling a prank, just I don’t know who is or are the target.

“oi, Nino. If you’re pulling a prank to your mum, I’m so not into it,” I said before a received a smack at my head.

“It’s not her, even though I keep playing a prank on her though. To be honest Aiba-chan, why would I use you to play a prank on her?” he said sarcastically. I sigh before thinking of a right reason.

“If you think you’ll cause a problem, you are so not a problem. Kaa-chan so wants to meet you and other member,” he said. I just smile listening to his explanation.

“oh, sou? So then, who?” for 5 minutes, he just smirks. I know he knows his plan will succeed. As there’s no single words out from his mouth, I keep bragging him to tell me who. My idea works. I know how he hates people forcing him so much. This is the first time I force people though.

I listen to his story and I’ll make sure I didn’t miss a single word from him this time. For a while I was amused by the way he tells about her. It seems like she is so special in his life.

“Nino-chan, kawaii,” I said and once again a smack hit behind my head. I laugh so much this time ignoring the stare his been making to me.

“what are you laughing about?” he asks with a serious face. I still can stop laughing.

“you love her don’t you? Last time you talk about love, this is how you react, happy and dreamy sort,” I said to him.

He smirks at me as he takes his face away from me. I wait for him to answer. As I finished laughing, he said without looking at me.

“it was you who was dreaming, Aiba-chan. How the hell am I supposed to fall in love with my cousin? Someone who I feel she is not more than a sister?”

Even people keep saying that I’m a stupid one in the group, but that answer doesn’t make sense after all. Love is universal. Sometimes you did fall in love with your own siblings, but of course that’s illegal. But in this case, falling in love with a cousin of yours is not something you can’t do or can’t work on. I want to talk to him about this but I know debating this with him, I’ll sure lose. So I decided to keep it by myself.

“you didn’t meet her for the past 12 years? How did you contact each other?” I ask. I might have miss some of the information from his story just now.

“it’s not didn’t meet her. I did, but not properly… I guess 3 years ago. I went to her house,”

“what do you mean by not properly?”

Nino didn’t give an answer on this. Before I could ask him any other question, we’ve arrive his place. As we when into the house, ninos’ mum was waiting for us. There sure a worried face she made. I’ve never seen it that way before.

“Daijoubu?” she ask him before he even greet her yet.

“Tadaima, kaa-chan.. I’m fine. Thank you,” he said while arranging his shoes at the rack.

“And if you didn’t notice, Aiba-san is here,” he said while pointing at me.

At that point, I know there is something that both of nino and his mum is hiding. Once she laid her attention on me, the worried expression at the beginning disappears. Instead, it changes into a pleasure smiles. Still, I know she’s hiding something.

“Pardon my intrusion,” I said, bowing to her.

“ie, ie. Daijoubu. Masaki-chan, having your dinner with us today, will you?,” she ask friendly. I just don’t want to trouble them so much, so I tell her that I’ll leave as soon as possible, but she keeps asking me to stay for dinner.

“maa, if that so, I guess, I’ll have my dinner here. Sorry once again,”I said.

“no, no it’s ok. It has been a long time since you have a meal in our house don’t you. It’s ok. Thanks for taking care of Kazu all of this time,”

“kaa-chan, just let him in. I’m not a troublemaker after all for him to take care of me,” Nino said jokingly. His mom looks at me once again, apologizing before inviting me in. I bow once again before making my own way to the living room.

I take a glance at nino who seems never take away his grin since the beginning. I look around the house to see anyone that gives a slightest hint of the girl that he tells earlier, but since no one was around accept for me and Nino in the living room, I decided to ask him straight away.

I was about to opened my mouth to utter the question when I heard a footstep rushing down the stairs. Both of us turn our head to the sound to see the girl running down the stairs. She paused when she saw me.

At first I thought she had seen a ghost somewhere around me, so I turned around to see if there is one behind me. Then I heard her running back upstairs before I heard a sound of a door being slammed and a yell.

“Kazu-kun, omae wa BAKAAAA!!!!!!”

Nino, who was standing next to me, was now breaking into a hard laugh. I know his plan works, just I didn’t know how.

“Arigatou! Just wait here ok. I’ll be back later,” he said before running upstairs.

I am so puzzled at the moment when I saw nino mums’ looks at me with a smile. I look at her with a thousand question expression on my face.

“it’s ok Aiba-chan. You didn’t do anything wrong,” her mom said. I followed her mum to the kitchen.

“but, when she meets me, it looks like she saw a ghost,” I said. I didn’t mean to take an offence on her reaction just now, just I guess I’m more shocked then she is. And yes. She is beautiful just like Nino has described her.

“of course you’re not a ghost, young man. It just, Kazu knows she just don’t want to meet any Arashi member while she is here. She didn’t want people to think as she is the cousin of an Arashi members, she can use him to get close to all of you. She is a shy girl after all. I guess that’s the reason why she reacted that way,”

“ah, sou ka?”Now I know how Nino plan works. That brat! He just give me a heart attack thinking that I’ve become a ghost scaring that girl so much.

Riisa POV

Damn that brat! I told him again and again that I don’t want to see them. Why the hell is he brings one home? STUPID KAZU!! i monologue before finding an annoying face at the door.

While showing an unsatisfied face, i throw a pillow at him. Serve him right. Too bad for me, he fast avoiding it from hitting his face.

“Abunai yo!!!” he said with a bitter laugh. i look at him.

“So I am one of your Ni no Arashi victim now? Fine! Talk to yourself now. I’m helping baachan,”

“No need for that. Aiba-chan is helping her now. Well, if you want to meet Aiba-chan, douzo~”

I was like giving a punch on his face right now. He’s doing this so naturally like he often doing it all the time. But seeing his face, I know, I won’t sulk for long. There is something in his mind now.

“You know what, you’re 29, but you act like a 9 years old boy,” I said before sitting on my bad and he’s taking his place next to me. I face him.

“doushita?”I ask him. He didn’t answer me straight away, he just look deep in my eyes.

He just stare me causing me to feel more embarrassed. Our face was so near to each other as I feel like to push him away from me. I took my face away from him when he pulls it back facing him. My heart was beating so fast at the moment when he gives me a tissue.

“There’s a white powder at your mouth. Daifuku? You’re so a mess. Wipe it yourself before I introduce you to Aiba-chan ne,” he laughs before going out from my room.

He pranks me again this time. Seriously, he is so like a child that I think I’m the one who act more mature than him.

I take a breath, give me a little confidence before I went down to see our guess. I’ll sure get it back to him one time later.
