Kai walked to her class. It was so quite. Eri had just disappeared and had been gone all lunch! Break was almost over. Kai sulked she was so lonely! When she got to the classroom she saw Ryuu in the corner. She had never really talked to him. In fact he was almost never home. She sat in her seat and laid her head down on the desk. “Kai!!!” Eri came running in, stopping to hug her brother, and then rushed over to Kai. “Kai lets start a club.” Kai looked up shocked. “Excuse me? You wanna what?” Kai looked at her puzzled. “Umm Eri are you alright?” Eri looked up from the sheet she was holding. She stood up and ruffled her long brown hair a bit. “Kai, come on!” She grabbed Kai’s hand and ran to the club building. In the very back was an empty room. Eri unlocked the door. (Obviously using her powers from the student council) “This will be our new club room!” Eri squealed. Kai was still confused. “I’m sorry?? We are joining a club?”
“No, we are starting a club. Come on it will be fun. We get to help people.”
“What’s our name?”
“Well, I haven’t figured that out yet but doesn’t it seem fun?”
Kai sighed. She could guess this was gonna be a lot of work. After school she met Eri in the club room. “Alright I know what we are gonna call this club!” Eri started up immediately. “We are Suki!” Kai looked at her with a sad expression. “Suki? Why? Are we a love club or something?” Eri giggled. “Yup, we sure are! And I know who are first victim will be. I’m the club president so I will oversee all activities, but you will be our lover!”
“Our what?” Kai wanted to jump out the window. She hated love.
“You will help our customers fall in love, using your own charm!”
“Then wouldn’t they fall for me?”
Eri giggled again. “No silly, they will fall in love with whoever you set them up, like a matchmaker!”
Kai got up and walked away. “Kai!!!” Eri whined. “Wait!”
“No, I don’t think so.”
“But, Kai!” She grabbed Kai’s shirt and pulled. “Kai, one week! Please just one week!”
She stopped, she loved Eri to death. They had been best friends for years. They had lived together since Kai’s parents had died in middle school. She sighed. “Alright, I’ll help, but after one week, if I don’t like it, I’m gone!” She headed home, not waiting for Eri to catch up. She went straight to her room and hid under the covers. Her head hurt. She dozed off before long……
“Kai? Kai? Wake up Kai!” When Kai opened her eyes Eri was looking over her crying. She sat up quickly. It looked like a lot of time had passed. It was dark. “Eri? Are you okay?” She was worried, she looked so upset.
“I found……I found the perfect candidate for our first job!” Kai went back to her sleeping position. This had to be a joke. Was this really important enough to wake her up crying over. Sheesh, Eri was a handful. The next morning Kai was the first to wake up. She looked across the room where Eri’s bed was at. She was still asleep. Kai walked downstairs almost bumping into someone at the table. Ryuu looked up at her. He grabbed his toast and left without saying another word. It was so weird. For some reason he didn’t seem to like Kai. She never knew why. She took some milk and toast from the fridge and chowed down before she woke Eri up. Later after school that day, Eri and Kai meet in the club room. Kai started.
“Alright who’s our first victim?” She asked with half interest.
“My brother!” Eri let go of a loud squeal. She had been holding it in a long time.
Kai almost choked, “Your brother? Why?”
“Because, he is perfect. Not many people understand him but that’s okay! As long as he finds love he will be find. First we need to get him ready! Me and Dad are going on a trip for a week in America, this should give you plenty of time…..” Eri continued on but Kai tuned her out. America? When had this been decided? “Kai? Are you listing to me?”
“Huh? Yeah. Okay, well how come Ryuu isn’t coming?”
“Dad and I don’t want him to! He needs to stay home!”
Kai was shocked by the tome in her voice. She backed off a bit. Alright. She was gonna do this, if nothing else then to find out why Ryuu hated her so much! After Eri had explained all the details she went straight home to pack. It seemed her flight was tonight. Kai stopped at the super market to get things for dinner. When she got home she could here the shower running. Mr. Sakagami’s car was gone. They had already left. She quickly made dinner. When she had the table set, Ryuu came out in a pair of jeans and no shirt.
“How’s dinner?” He asked. It startled Kai.
“Oh, umm its fine. You can sit if you want.”
He sat down and waited for her to serve the food. He ate it within seconds and then left.
“Umm, wait! Ryuu!”
He stopped dead, he turned his cold green eyes one her. They could kill. Kai sighed; a whole week with his attitude was enough to drive her crazy!
