Chapter 46


Early mornings had become hectic what with a pair of 16 year olds within 6 feet from each other. A small 10 year old girl runs in and jumps on top of her aunt.

"Aunty Kaouri! It's time to get up for school!" Her emerald hair had several streaks of white in it.

Her skin was the color of light milk chocolate. Her eyes were a soft blue much like her papa Junko. She sat on Kaouri's bed as the young teen sat up. In 10 years she had almost turned into a female version of Youji. Her room had gone from pink and princess based to black and red and hot pink with rock and pop posters everywhere.

"Alright Seph im up im up. Hey go wake up the snore head." From the room next to hers came the disgruntled voice.

"I heard that!" Hiroki shuffled into the hall, scratching his muscled belly. "Call me that again and I'll tell your friends you still listen to N'Sync." Kaouri looks at him and covers her eyes.

"Oh god will you put some clothes on you weird little stripper!" She gets out of bed while Persephone sat cross legged on Kaouri's bed.

Kaouri walks to their shared bathroom where she looked at herself in the mirror showing off her short sleep shorts and tight tank top both in a hot pink.

"Will you sit in your room while i shower?" Hiroki rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, whatever." he made his way downstairs instead, poking his head into the refrigerator and incidentally waving his boxer-clad ass in the air.

"You should be careful with that Hiroki. Some gay guy like me could come and take that as an advance." Hiroki turned with a grin and a wink.

"Maybe that's what I'm hoping." he said without missing a beat, despite the fact that he was the first (and only) straight male in the house.

Hoshi stands there in a pair of black pajama pants. His hair was still as spiky as it had always been. He was more comfortable about not wearing his eyepatch so he had them burned.

"So when is that girl... uh Judy was her name?" Hiroki wrinkles his nose, coming out of the fridge with a carton of orange juice.

"Judeth. When what?" He popped the carton open, tilting it up and taking a deep gulp directly from the container.

"When are you going to bring here to meet your family? You have been talking about her for a month now." Hoshi grabbed two vines of grapes and put them in a bowl.

"Are you afraid she will notice your older brother isnt just fat that he's pregnant?" Hiroki grinned.

"No, I'm afraid Youji'll show up and scare the hell out of her." he said, remembering the 'I'll-kill-you-if-you-hurt-my-brother' speech Youji had given the first girl he'd tried to bring home.

Of course, she'd been a bit of a bitch....

"Ya well Youji and Jacklon are in your old home making a living on their own. So you dont have to worry about that. Besides Junko would make sure he kept his mouth in check." Hoshi grabs some whip cream and plopped it over the grapes before putting raisens on top.

"I swear i never thought Junko would want to go through another pregnancy." Hiroki chuckled.

"I didn't until I saw the way he was with Persephone. I saw it coming a loooong time ago." Just then a loud bang echoes through the house and Youji's voice is heard from the front door.

"YO! Anyone awake?! You're savior has come with doughnuts!" Hiroki glances to Hoshi for a split second before sprinting for the door.

Hoshi runs out with him and sees Jacklon standing behind his fiance with his palm in his forehead. He was a twin of Hoshi down to his white hair. He let his hair fall on his shoulders.

"Youji Junko may be asleep honey." Youji snorts.

"Yeah, you try and wake him up with anything less than a Mac Truck." He oomphs as Hiroki runs into him, stealing the doughnuts and running back to the kitchen with a manic cackle.

"Hey you little shit!" Youji yells after him, grinning.

Hoshi walks over snatching them from Hiroki then gently hugs Youji.

"I'll be taking those." He takes the dounuts and puts them in the kitchen.

He takes the bowl of grapes.

"Are you two here for the twins talent show tonight?" Youji nods.

"As if I would miss the little monsters' chance to become stars." Hoshi shakes his head.

"Want to see your brother at 5 months pregnant again? Lets just hope these drastic mood swings end faster than last time." Fast footsteps come to the stairs.

"Uncle Youji! Uncle Jacklon!" Persephone runs over and jumps into Youji's arms.

Youji catches the girl easily.

"Hello, angel. Keeping everyone else in line?" Persephone giggles and nods happily.

"Papa is getting big! My baby brother is going to be coming soon!" Hoshi rolls his eyes.

"Knowing Junko he would have another girl." Youji smiled, leaning back into Jacklon and petting Persephone's hair.

"You'd love her just the same. You just want someone you can rough-house with now that Hiroki's too old." Persephone nods showing off the family pout.

"Are you going to give me a cousin soon?!" Youji laughs nervously.

He and Jacklon had been pretty careful, but Youji *had* been feeling oddly for about a week now...He wasn't sure he was ready to think about that though.

"You have plenty of family as it is. I think you just want another person to give you Christmas and Birthday presents when they're old enough." Persephone pouts even bigger.

"You can never have too many Barbies!" Hoshi sighs and walks up the stairs towards their room.

"You can come up when your ready." Youji sets Persephone down and goes to the kitchen to make sure he can actually eat some of the doughnuts he brought.

He finds Hiroki there, licking his fingers free of icing.

"Did you leave any for the rest of us?" Before Hiroki could answer a pair of nails moves over Youji's sides tickling him fast.

Youji squeals embarrassingly loud before giggling and grabbing the offender in a bear hug. Kaouri giggles as she wore a tight halter top that showed off her small cleavage. Her stomach was showing a bellbutton ring.

"Hi brother how are you doing this morning?" Jacklon walks over and looks at her stomach.

"Has your brother Junko seen that yet?" Kaouri giggles.

"Not yet." Youji grins wickedly.

"I bet you're hiding a cute little tattoo, aren't you? I know I was at your age." He hugs his favorite sibling close, dropping an almost fatherly kiss on her head.

He was very proud of his rebellious little girl. Kaouri giggles and turns lowering her low riders slightly showing a tramp stamp. It had a heart with wings and trible markings wrapping around it. Hiroki makes a choked sound.

"Hey, hey! Enough with the ass antlers!" he says, covering his eyes dramatically.

Youji bursts out laughing.

"Ass antlers?" Kaouri glares at her twin before turning to Youji.

"So where are your tattoo's?" She asked in a teasing manner.

She flirted with anyone in the same manner that Youji did. Youji grinned mischievously.

"I'm not showing you my new one." he says as he lifts his shirt to show the black stars and the intricate vine around his belly button.

He takes the shirt completely off to show off a beautiful double-ring design with his and Jacklon's initials on his shoulderblade. Kaouri giggles.

"I got a hidden one myself." Hoshi steps over.

"Junko should be coming down soon." Youji is about to pull his shirt on when Junko's voice rings out.

"He's already down. Youji, when did you get that on your back?" Youji grins.

"Just after Jacklon and I got engaged. You like it?" Junko nods, coming close to trace the lines of the rings, making Youji shiver.

"It's lovely...." Kaouri smiles and walks to the donuts and leans over showing the top of the tramp stamp.

Junko stutters, his eyes going wide.

"Young lady! Where the hell did that come from?!" Kaouri gulps then reaches back resting her maniqured nails on her stamp.

"On my 16th birthday. Candi took me to the tattoo parlor." She turned as her belly ring had pink stone in the ring.

Junko groans, briefly covering his eyes with his hands before turning to Youji.

"This is your fault." he says, half-jokingly.

"I aught to make you raise the little urchin." KAouri giggles.

"Oh please brother go ahead. I would love to live with Youji at least he would let me express my desires." Junko sighs, rolling his eyes, while Youji's own eyes widen.

"You'd get a crash course in gay sex, kid." Youji says.

"We don't really discriminate which room we do it in." Hiroki makes gagging noises and Junko sputters out a surprised chuckle.

Kaouri flicks her twin's nose.

"Oh come on Ki dont be bitchen. You walked in on Hoshi and Junko when the new baby was conseved." Hiroki grins wickedly.

"Yeah, Ka, but I'm not the one who stayed and watched." Youji laughs brightly.

"Wow, you really do take after me." Junko's already wide eyes get bigger and he stares around at Youji and the twins.

"Please tell me you're joking!" Kaouri shrugs.

"At least i dont spend half the night jacking off to Judy Tudy!" Hiroki rolls his eyes.

"Oh, that's so clever. And I don't. I have magazines geared toward very specific things that I jack of to, for your info." He says, just to rile her.

Junko groans and speaks up.

"Please, can we leave the dirty talk for when I'm not around?" Kaouri glares at Hiroki.

"Your so immature you know that." She turns and runs up the stairs as Hoshi watches her.

Persephone runs over and jumps up into her daddies arms.

"Daddy whats jacking off mean?" Hoshi looks at Junko.

"You want to handle this?" Junko puts his hands up in surrender.

"Something you will never have to do, pumpkin." Persephone whimpers.

"Why am i being left out?!" Her voice whines and curls into her daddies chest.

It was the one thing Hoshi couldnt resist. She got what ever she wanted from him just by showing some tears. Junko gave him a warning look. He better not actually explain something like that. Youji, however, speaks up.

"Hey, it's okay. You know how boys wear briefs and girls wear panties? It's like that. You don't get left out, yours is just different." He said, feeling proud for reasoning it out. Junko rolled his eyes, knowing she'd want to hear more now.

Persephone looks at her uncle with her wide eyes.

"But... do i get to do it too when im uncle Hiroki's age?" Junko, Hiroki, and Youji all make odd, half-coughing half-laughing sounds.

Youji smirks.

"Your turn, Hoshi." Hoshi glares at Youji as he gently lifts Persephone's head.

"Listen baby face... when you get to Uncle Hiroki's age then you can ask more question but if you keep asking about this then you wont hit that age. The age fairy will keep you small forever." Persephone looks down while trying to comprehend that.

She was in the 4th grade so she should understand things more than fairies. She knew her daddy just wanted her to drop the subject.

"Alright daddy ill stop." She hugged him tight.

Junko and Youji both stare at Hoshi in stunned disbelief. They glance to each other, then burst out laughing. Hoshi holds his little girl tight. His life revolved around his husband and his daughter. Junko's family was important but he loved his little girl and his husband the most. Hiroki looks around for a moment, popping the last bit of a doughnut into his mouth.

"You guys are missing all the food." Jacklon shakes his head.

"God your worse than Youji's been recently. The man cleans out our left overs the next day." Youji frowns and pokes his lover in the belly.

"You callin' me fat?" he asks, obviously not serious.

Jacklon looks at him.

"No just eating like a cow." Hoshi looks at Youji.

"Maybe you and Junko have something in common." Youji swallows.

Truthfully, he'd love to have a family with Jacklon, but the idea of a little person depending on him scared the hell out of him. He was very afraid he'd be a rather bad parent.... Jacklon gently held Youji close.

"If he is then i will make sure it's taken care of." Youji wrung his hands nervously, causing Junko to smile.

He leaned close, kissing Jacklon on the cheek and Youji on the forehead.

"Youji. Calm down. I know you. You'll make a wonderful parent." Youji smiled anxiously to Junko.

"I....I hope so." Hoshi smiles.

"Hey if you can take care of the twin monsters, then you can deal with a kid of your own." Youji, who'd never thought of it like that, suddenly smiles.

"I can, can't I?" Hoshi nods as Persephone giggles.

"I want a cousin!" Youji blushes.

"Well, don't bet on it just yet. I'm nowhere near sure." Kaouri comes down with her backpack on.

"Come on Ki you need to get ready or we will be late! And i refuse to be late for Psychology!" Hoshi chuckles.

"Esspecially because of Mr. Barnette being the teacher." Kaouri grins.

"Im his best student." Hiroki heads upstairs grumbling.

"Yeah, I bet you are." Kaouri sighs and walks over to Hoshi and kisses his cheek.

"See you tonight." She kisses Persephone, Youji and JAcklon and looks at Junko.

"Are you going to be bent out of shape by the tramp stamp?" Junko gives a put-upon sigh.

"Bit late for that, isn't it?" KAouri sighs and turns walking outside to her little corvet.

It was a present from Hoshi and Junko for her and Hiroki's birthday. It was a deep purple as she climbed into the drivers seat. They only got the one since she passed her drivers test with flying colors but Hiroki failed by 5 points. A few mintues later, Hiroki flies out of the front door, jumping into the car to a chorus of yelling. He buckles up quickly and grins at Kaouri, holding the box of doughnuts.

"Drive fast and I'll share." he says brightly.

Kaouri grins and speeds out of the manor drive way. She pulls on a pair of large circle sunglasses. Her long blond hair flew in the open air. She loved having a convertable corvette. She snagged a donut and bit into it. Hiroki laughs wildy, his curly hair blowing in the wind and his t-shirt riding up as his pants ride low.

"Hey!" he yells over the sound of the wind.

"I'm getting pierced this afternoon, wanna come?" Kaouri looks at him.

"As long as i can get another one myself. Where are you getting yours?" Hiroki smiles wickedly and runs his fingers over his chest.

"Nipple ring. You?" Kaorui giggles.

"I was thinking both of mine pierced." Hiroki looked sideways at her.

"Yeah, that'd look good on you." he said.

The two of them had never been very shy about their bodies with each other. Being twins, it seemed pointless. They knew, if they'd been born opposite sexes, they'd look exactly the same. Hiroki looked at Kaouri as an extension of himself, the same way she saw him. Hiroki grinned.

"You know, someday those piercings are gonna be printed on some Star mag, right?" Kaouri grins and looks at him over her sunglasses.

"Try Playboy. Im going to get so famous that Hugh Hephner will beg me to strip for him." She turned back to the road as they drove towards the high school.

Hiroki grinned.

"Too bad nobody but Judeth wants to see me naked." he says with a dramatic sigh.

Kaouri grins.

"Oh Ki i bet there is a girl just like me out there that wants to strip you of your clothes and do so many naughty things to you." Hiroki's grin widens.

"Gee, Ka, that mean you want to do naughty things to your twin brother? You dirty, dirty girl!" Kaouri grins.

"Well you were the one who wanted to experiment with me when were 12. First time i saw a penis and you saw a vagina." Hiroki laughs.

"Good times. So...are you really boning that psych professor? Or is that all just rumor?"

"So far... just a rumor. But i kinda want to have my first time be with an older man like him. I mean you have to admit he is smoken hot." She stops at a red light.

Hiroki nods. He may be straight, but he wasn't blind.

"Admitted. What about that senior girl who was flirting with you last week?" Kaouri giggles.

"She made a pass at me. I think she wanted to find my hidden tattoo. She would have found the jackpot if she looked between my legs." Hiroki sighs in exasperation.

"When are you going to let me see that? You know I'm dying of curiosity. And I promised to let you come when I finally get the guts to get the prince Albert I want...."

"God how can you do that to yourself. True Hoshi has it but have you seen it. It looks huge and it looks like it hurts." Kaouri shakes her head shuddering. "I dont know how Junko could handle having that thing inside him." Hiroki grins wickedly.

"I've seen how Junko goes crazy when Hoshi has it in. I'll make sure Judeth never even thinks about another guy for the rest of her life." Kaouri snorts.

"That prude would never let anyone between her legs." Kaouri pulls into the parking lot as a jeep cuts her off and steals her spot.

"Mother fucker!" She puts the car in park and gets out walking over.

"Hey i was going into that spot!" Bryce grinned, jumping out of his Jeep and whistling at Kaouri.

"I'll let you in my spot if you let me in yours." he joked lamely, taking off his letterman jacket to reveal his overmuscled frame.

Kaouri made a lemon face as she walked over to him.

"Get out of my spot before i force you out of the spot." Kaouri had got her anger from Junko and Youji making her a fire cracker.

Hiroki kicked back with the rest of the doughnuts to enjoy the show. Meathead usually got Kaouri riled and his sister was stunning when she was pissed off. Bryce stepped into Kaouri's personal space.

"Aww, sugartits. You don't have to force anything. All you gotta do is ask...real nicely." He let his eyes roam over Kaouri's body and licked his lips.

Kaouri slams her fist into his nose as the resounding crack was all the sweeter.

"Call me sugartits again you meathead and ill make sure the only tits you see belong to the burly butch nurse changing your diaper. Now get that bahimoth of a car out of my spot!" She walked back over to her corvette and sat down in the seat waiting for Bryce to make the right and, for his health, safe choice.

Bryce howled, covering his nose, blood pouring down his face. He glared at Kaouri, but went to his Jeep and revved the engine angrily. His tires squealed as he backed out, just missing the backend of Kaouri's vette. He drove to the other end of the parking lot, swearing foully. Kaouri smirks and calmly parks in the spot and cuts the engine. She reaches back and grabs her bag before grabbing another donut.

"Lets get to class." She gets out. Hiroki grabs Kaouri's arm, delaying her long enough to kiss her cheek.

"God, I love you. You make the best entertainment." Kaouri rolls her eyes and gets out.

"I love you too now come on." Hiroki jumps from the car, his shoes crunching on the pavement and his skater jeans riding low on his hips, showing an inch of skin below his tight black t-shirt.

He follows his sister, chomping down the last doughnut and tossing the box in a trashbarrell. Kaouri pulls her sunglasses off as several girls ran over and started talking to her. True she knew the only reason they were popular was because of Hoshi but she was going to milk all that it was worth. She made sure that the kids who were like her brothers had been were taken care of. Hiroki, however, slunk away to his small group of friends. He preferred to hang out with people like himself who weren't glittery and fake. He loved his sister, but her little fanclub made him sick. Still, at least she wasn't fooled by them. Kaouri walked to her psychology class as she talked to her girls.

At the talent show she was going to make her singing debut. Hiroki winked to one of the few girls who hung around Kaouri because they liked her. The girl blushed, but didn't stop her gab session with their group. He dropped into the seat behind her, slipping his feet into the basket under her desk and settling himself in for a decent nap. The first couple classes pass as her next class was gym that was shared with the boys. Including Bryce. She had the pleasure of seeing him sporting a pretty bruse between his eyes. Bryce glared at Kaouri the moment he saw her. He pulled off his shirt and sat the bench, the coach playing spotter and piling on weights on a barbell. Hiroki, already changed and looking less than impressed, rolled his eyes.

"Yo, Coach! Make sure he doesn't choke on those! We can't lose our *star* wrestler!" Kaouri giggles as she was at the tredmills.

The girls really only ran on the tredmills or sat at the bicycles. Hiroki started an impromtu game of basketball with the coach's permission and started showing off for the girls. sinking baskets from as far away from the net as he could with ease. Kaouri raises an eyebrow. On the bleachers was a girl with bright red hair and gothic clothes. She was writting in a journal. Her eyes slightly moved over Hiroki. She could tell why girls liked him but then again he was just like his sister. Hiroki sunk a particularly impressive basket, gaining cheers from several girls and groans fromt he opposing team.

Several of his teammates- all as shirtless and sweaty as he was- came up to hug him and pat his back. In a strictly hetero way, of course, but Hiroki coulnd't help but blush a bit. The girl looks at them as she held back the blush. She shook her head and just sat there. KAouri looked at her and smirked. She was Eva. School goth and was transparent about her crush on her twin. Hiroki shot his sister a questioning look. What was she so happy about? Suddenly there thickly muscled arms on either side of Kaouri and a very sweaty and foul-smelling Bryce whispered in her ear.

"How about you skip the bike and ride me?" Kaouri gasps and jumps on the sides of the tredmill.

She turned around and glared at him.

"Peee You... You stick!" She pitched her nose.

Bryce blushed angrily as the girls around them tittered. Hiroki edged his way closer, watching in case anything went wrong. Bryce pressed close to Kaouri, one meaty hand going to her waist and Hiroki growled. Kaouri looks at his hand then looks at him with her flirtious eyes.

"You dont step away im going to get your boys in a vice grip so tight that you will have to scream to get them to relax." Bryce stared at her stupidly, looking over to his friends.

"Boys?" Kaouri looks down between them down at his gym pants.

Bryce grins.

"You come home with me and I'll let you touch 'em." He says, pulling back a bit to runs his hand over her ass.

Kaouri swings and slaps him.

"Dont touch me." Hiroki throws the basketball at Bryce's head at the same time Kaouri moves.

"Don't touch my sister!" he shouts. He'd intended to fully let Kaouri take care of herself, but seeing that jerk's hands on her just made him see red. Kaouri glares at him before turning off the tredmill.

"Your a germ Bryce." Bryce snarls and turns to Hiroki before a high-pitched whistle is heard and the coach comes running over.

"What's going on here?" he asks angrily.

"Bryce touched me and my brother was just trying to protect me." Kaouri put on the helpless victim for the coach. The coach melted easily with Kaouri's little act and turned angrily to Bryce. "Stay away from her, Bryce. I don't want to have to cut you from the wrestling team." Bryce grinds out a "Yeah, coach." before stalking off with a glare at the twins. Hiroki goes to his sister with concern in his eyes.

"Hey...I know you like to deal with stuff yourself, but I'm not going to let some meathead manhandle you, okay?" Kaouri nods and hugs him tight.

Hiroki wrinkles his nose as he lets go of his sister.

"Sorry, I think you'll need to hit the showers later. I'm all sweaty." Kaouri shakes her head and walks to the girls shower.

Hiroki watches his sister go, taking a towel and grabbing his bag on the way to the boys' showers. Kaouri sighs and strips stepping into the enclosed showers. God Bryce pissed her off so bad. In the boys' showers, Hiroki was thinking the same thing. He quickly shucked his clothing and got under one of the open showerheads, turning the water as hot as it would go and standing there for several moments. A guy like that...he had no right to touch Kaouri. She was better than him. She deserved the best. He sighed as he squirted a handful of soap fromt he dispenser and started to wash himself, his thoughts still with his sister. Kaouri lets the water run over sigh sighing. The small banner on her inner thigh says Daddy Hoshi's girl. Hiroki ran his hands over his own tattoo. His first and favorite. A small banner over his heart that read

"Only for you." No one knew what it meant, not even Kaouri, and he wasn't about to tell. He let his fingers run over his body, allowing himself a moment to pretend he was someone else, but he had to hurry. It wouldn't be long before the other boys came in... Bryce stands just inside the entrance to the girls' showers. Out of sight of the coach, but not far enough in to see Kaouri like he wants to. Kaouri turns off the shower grabbing her towel before wrapping it around her. When she rounds the corner, Bryce crowds her to the wall.

"Hey, babe. Come to the dance with me this weekend." He says commandingly, fully expecting to be obeyed.

Kaouri gasps and presses back to the wall.

"What part of go away doesnt get through your meat head?" Bryce grins.

"The part where your eyes are telling me to push you up against the wall, pull that little towel off and show you how a real man works." Kaouri glares at him.

"Why dont you want to go away?" She sighed heavily as she leaned against the wall.

Bryce glares down at her.

"Because I know you want me and I don't get why you're being such a bitch about it." Kaouri closes her eyes and looks at him her eyes clouded with tears.

"I dont want you Bryce dont you get it you are not the kind of guy any girl would not! Not even a gay man could put up with you!" Bryce blinks, suddenly unsure of himself.

Was she going to...to cry?

Kaouri shoves him aside and grabs her clothes and runs to one of the bathrooms close by. A few tears rolling down her cheeks. Bryce swallows hard. He didn't know Kaouri even *could* cry...it was one of the reasons he liked her so much. She was tough without being manly. He looked around, suddenly wondering what the hell he thought he was doing...that was another thing she did to him. Made him act without thinking, speak without regard to the consequenses. And look where it had gotten him. He'd made the toughest girl in school cry. He scowled at himself as he stalked out of the girls' room and into the boys' to get a shower for himself.

Hiroki didn't hear him enter, leaning against the wall with his back to the door, one hand working himself hard. Bryce walks toward his locker. Before he realizes he hears the sound of moans. He walked over and looked in then snorted slightly. Hiroki's body stiffened as his release shot out, splashing over the walltiles and washing away to the drain. He gasps, trying to regain his breath as he slowly returns to himself. Bryce leans against the wall.

"Having a nice time with your five finger friend." Hiroki spins around, a flush riding his cheek and a hand coming up automatically to shield his already fading erection.

Bryce smirks and looks at him.

"You uh... might want to find your sister." Hiroki's eyes widen momentarily before he forces himself to ask calmly.

"Why?"

"Because im a dumb ass. Just go before coach sees you." Bryce turns and walks to his locker as he thinks about the one girl who seemed to always plauge his mind.

Hiroki, barely taking time to wrap a towel around his waist, goes to find Kaouri.

"Hey, hey, are you..." He freezes at the sight of her tears, and pulls her to him.

"What did he do? God, I'll fucking kill him if he hurt you!" Kaouri holds onto him.

"No... he just once again tried to get with me and i guess i let a few real tears spill." Hiroki kisses her cheek.

"You sure you don't want me to kill him? I have friends, you know?" he asks jokingly, trying to make her smile.

Kaouri giggles slightly.

"No... i hope he will just stay away." Hiroki nods and releases his sister, looking sheepish.

"So I guess I didn't really need to run in here naked, huh?" Kaouri shakes her head.

"But by your flushed you were masturbating again." Hiroki grins unrepenantly.

"You know way too much about my sexual habits, sister dear." he whispers, not wanting anyone else to hear and get the wrong idea.

Kaouri smiles.

"Go get dressed." Hiroki nods and makes his way back to the boys' locker room.

Kaouri finishes changing before waiting for her brother. Hiroki walks into the gym as he slips on his shirt, drawing sighs from several girls and a knowing grin from Hiroki. He grabs his bag and reaches for Kaouri's hand.

"Off to see the wwwyzzerdd." He says, referring to their computer teacher.

Kaouri shakes her head as she follows him. Soon enough school ended as Kaouri was in the back stage getting ready to be on stage. Hiroki poked his head backstage, whistling at Kaouri's outfit.

"Wow, you'll get the most votes on appearance alone, Ka." Kaouri giggles.

"I hope that i can get votes for performance. Is everyone in the audience?" Hiroki nods.

"They're all here for you." He pulls back away and finds his seat beside the rest of the family.

Junko fidgets nervously and Youji looks like he has stars in his eyes. Hoshi had his arm around Junko's shoulders as Persephone sat in his lap. She had a little pink flag with Kaouri written on it. She gently waved it high up. Kaouri took a deep breath as the MC annouced her and heavy rock began to play. She jumps on stage with a mic resting on her ear. She starts to sing I Hate Myself for Loving You by Joan Jet her favorite artist.

She used ever part of her to make the words mean something. Hiroki flopped across Jacklon and Youji's lap mostly because he knew it annoyed the hell out of Youji, but his brother didn't rise to the bair. His eyes were glued to Kaouri with the air of a proud parent or teacher. Kaouri continues to sing her heart out fully enjoying the spot light. She moved her hips to the beat and used the sex appeal to seduce almost every 16 year old in the room. Junko sighs.

"Looks like you'll have to make good on that promise you made when she was little. We've got ourselves a star,don't we?" Hoshi smiles like the proud parent he was.

"Ya i also am fufilling a promise i made when we first met." He looks down at his husband.

Junko scrunches up his nose, but can't remember.

"Okay, I give.What promise?" Hoshi leans close and whispers into his ear.

"That i would always be here to protect and provide for you and your family." Junko smiles sweetly.

"So you are. I love you."

"I love you too Junko... and i always will love you." Hoshi gently kisses his lips as KAouri's song ends.

The crowd explodes into standing applause and there is no doubt who's won this competition. As the judges give out the scores, Hiroki smiles brightly. He knew she'd win. He was very proud of his sister. Youji grinned. His girl was going to be the hottest star since Bridget Bardot, this audience didn't know how lucky they were. This were turning out perfectly.
