After their little discussion, Ae Rin walked to the kitchen. She stood Infront of the counter and rested her hands on it.
"Well...do you wanna eat something or.....?" She asked him.
"No, I might as well rest a bit. Processing everything that I came to know is making me tired..." He frowned as he pulled the blanket over him and drifted off to sleep.
"I wonder if he can handle anymore of this. I should be careful for any spy around me. We aren't even that close to be good friends but he still understands me...." She looked at him admirably.
"Well, I am hungry! Let's make good use of my power!" She said to herself as she closed her eyes and placed her hand on the counter, her palm facing upwards.
Poof!
She opened her eyes to look at a couple of stacked pieces of triangular - shaped pizza on her hand.
"Thank you for the food!"
She enjoyed each piece leisurely.
"Oh god! I almost forgot to inform my brother about what's happenned!" She dashed to the side of the bed to get her phone and swallowed down the last piece of pizza.
She dialed her brother's number.
*Bzzzt*
"What's up?" Her brother's calm voice reached her through the phone.
"It's just that...uh...I think..I got discovered.." she replied in a low voice which sounded almost like a mumble.
"WHAT!?! Wait, first, are you safe?" He panicked.
"Calm down! I am safe but I got someone else involved as well.... that's what I m worried about!" She said anxiously.
"who is that on the phone..?" The siblings' conversation seemed to have awoken Kyou. He rubbed his eyes as he slowly rose from the bed.
"What's that voice? Why am I hearing a male's voice?! What's happening there, Rin?!" The brother was alarmed by hearing Kyou's voice from the phone because he is fully aware that Ae Rin is alone at home and doesn't bring anyone to her home, then why is there another guy with her at her house?!
"I-it's nothing like what you're imagining! He's the one who got involved into this. Please, let me explain first or else you will misunderstand me!" She said hurriedly and pressed her hand against Kyou's mouth to silence him.
Kyou smacked her hand and she retreated it back. He decided to keep quiet and observe their conversation.
There was no answer on the other side so she decided to continue, "Like I said, he got into this mess. The people from The Crew Of Death are searching for me for the sacrifice! I need you to come back as soon as possible. The boy's name is Kyou. Today he was beaten up into a pulp by those people....and why is that? Because they've been spying on him in order to get to me.."
"I understand. I will come back by tomorrow after finishing up with my work here. I want to talk with the boy first. And yes, does he know about your true identity...?" He asked curiously.
"Yes. Don't worry, he's trustworthy...." she responded.
"And how are you so sure? I've never seen you trust anyone so much as to reveal your identity...does he seem different to you..?" he questioned.
"I am simply stating the truth, brother. As far as I know, he's been honest about everything; I can sense it by using my ability." She stated nonchalantly.
"I want to see him for myself. Just be careful around strangers. Don't trust anyone too soon; you don't want to be betrayed again." he said a bit coldly than usual, reminding her of her past.
Ae Rin twitches slightly at his response but then replies, "Yeah, yeah. I get it! Bye, see you soon!"
*TOOT*
She ended the call and turned to face Kyou
"My brother's going to come back soon. There are a few things that I need to explain to you before you meet him. He's really picky about whom he should believe and whom he shouldn't. I hope you to be in his 'should - believe' list, so listen carefully." She smiled.
"Ahem! First, don't talk before he starts talking and don't be impolite to him in any manner.
Second, don't move your gaze away from his eyes while speaking to him otherwise he may think you are scared. That's it." She finished off abruptly.
"Wait a second! Why do I need to do all of these things to impress him? He is just a normal person like me! All we are going to do is just have a discussion. I think you are being too cautious." he rolled his eyes and complained.
Ae Rin patted on his shoulder and smiled, "You will come to know why."
"Huh?"
