Chapter two

"So… like I was saying…" The brown suit clad professor kept pausing and flipping through the pages in the textbook. Misao gave the man an eye roll. This was a waste of time. Why did her brother pay so much money to a man that couldn't do his job?

She pulled at her long piggy tails and coldly stared into the man's green eyes when he looked up from the book. He gulped and looked down again. "Do I make you uncomfortable?" she spoke out loud.

"No…" He laughed so hard like it was a very funny question, even throwing himself back into the chair in the den room.

Misao scrutinized him with her eyes. "No, I believe my scarred face bothers you."

"N-no. W-what? Why would you say something like that?" The man's eyes widened with his shaking hands on the page of the book.

The door from other room opened and closed, and two laughing males were heard through the walls.

Misao tapped her long nail on the desk between her professor and herself. "You're fired," she said smoothly with a smile at the end.

He stood up collecting his books and didn't even put them in the briefcase to hurry out of the room.

Misao blinked back the tears and crossed her arms over her chest, waiting for the appearance of her older brother.

The purple-eyed man didn't disappoint her. "What happened?" His handsome face wore this scowl ready to beat up whoever was messing with his little sister.

"I don't want him." Misao told him. "He was looking at my face, and he barely taught me anything."

Kenshin threw himself into the chair. "He better give me my refund. Don't worry though I will find you another tutor."

"I don't think I want to go through this ordeal again." Misao played with her hair refusing to show how much she was hurting inside.

There was a long silence before he replied.

"No, I want my baby sister to finish high school. You didn't want to go to public school, and I agreed. We made a deal remember? Something that went along these lines- if you don't go to public school then you will attend homeschooling."

The short girl stood up and stretched her arms to the ceiling, pushing back the urge to cry. "That was three years ago."

"Well… a deal is a deal." He took out his I-phone and went through it. "That man was old anyway. I will find you a better looking one."

"Bribing?" She craned her neck towards her brother's direction with raised eyebrows.

"Oh yeah… and I'm looking right now to see who your next tutor will be…" Kenshin leaned his elbows on his knees busy with his phone.

Misao blinked . "Are you serious? Aren't you supposed to be a big brother who doesn't allow any man who has potential banging the crap out of his sister ideas near his baby sister ?"

"No, he will be so smart enough to know the off limits."

Misao busted out laughing. Her brother had a way to lift up her spirits. "Okay, tell me when you find someone, and let me see before you contact the person."

The red-haired man snapped his fingers for her to come with this determined look on his face. "Come, come baby…"

She ran quickly to him and looked down on the phone at the man with the bluest eyes ever, and a small goatee on his chin. That was the only facial hair on his face.

Kenshin wrapped an arm around her small waist. "You like?"

Misao pushed him away, and stood up coughing. "Probably he isn't that cute as in the picture."

He curled back his shoulder with a raised eyebrow. "You want to bet?"

"When I win, I get breakfast in bed everyday…"

Kenshin smirked. "Well, after I win you keep him no matter how much he is terrible until you get your diploma."

"It is on." They gave high fives to each other.

She sat down on the arm of his chair hugging the pink long sweater closer to her body.

"So what have I missed for the couple of weeks I haven't seen you?" He asked her absentmindedly rubbing his cheek.

Misao interlaced her fingers together. "I have a new friend."

"Ooooh…" Kenshin teased, and she lightly smacked his arm.

"It's a girl." Misao explained to him with a blush on her cheeks from her brother's teasing.

"Okay." He nodded his head at her. "When will I meet her?"

Misao coughed a couple of times and swallowed. "She is online."

"Facebook?" Kenshin added the question with an answer he already knew.

"Yes." She snapped her fingers and turned the chair to face him. "Her name is Kaoru Kamiya, and we have so much in common. We are actually facebook sisters."

"That's so nice."

She shook his arm. "No it's not what you think. She is really nice to me."

"Hold on, did you say Kaoru?" A new voice interrupted the two.

They both looked at the entrance at the tall man hovering there.

Misao nodded her head with a frown. "Yes, do you know her?"

He shook his head. "Depending on who you are talking about... Does she had blue eyes and heart shaped face and raven hair?"

Misao nodded her head to all those descriptions of the girl from Sano. "I can show you her picture. But how do you know her?"

Sano shoved his hands into his pockets. "That's your brother's crush."

Kenshin almost choked on his saliva standing up to defend himself. "No, it's not."

"Oh my gosh! You have an interest in a female. Ooooh. That's so cute." Misao took this chance to pick on her older brother and then jumped up to go to the laptop she had left lying on the lover's seat located in the corner of the room. "First, we need to make sure it is her. Second, if it is her, I already approve and then we are hooking you up."

Sano was already laughing at his friend who was stalking after his sister with this look of fear written all over him.

"Listen, no. Sano is lying. I don't like her, and I haven't even met the girl." Of course his complaints were ignored because Misao was already sitting on the sofa with Sano beside her as they went to facebook.

Sano pointed at the picture on facebook. "That's her. But she looks better in public."

"That girl is so mean." Kenshin confessed and leaned down to computer and glimpsed at the picture. In the picture, she had red lipstick with bangs, and her blue eyes that had no soul looking right at him. Her yellow large pajamas hid her body size.

"I thought you said you didn't know who Sano was talking about…" Misao of course reminded him of what he had said a few minutes ago.

"I know right." Sano added in and slouched in the chair looking at him as well.

Kenshin took steps back. "Whatever. Anyway, I'm not interested. I 'm going to the kitchen and cook something to eat."

"He likes her…" Sano crossed his legs.

Misao grinned. "We are so getting the two together."
