Chapter 30

"Hikaru," Sayuri whispered, her brother asleep in his computer room, which doubled as his room for the time being. Hikaru barely moved at all, only turning his head in his chair. Sayuri sighed, and then decided to get payback for what he did to her a while back. She used her psychic abilities to enter his mind to mess with his dreams.

/-/Hikaru's Dream\-\

"Not this time," Hikaru smirked, charging at a Riolu. The Riolu mimicked his charge, and they locked horns.

"You are too predictable brother," the Riolu informed, suddenly flipping Hikaru over his shoulder. They were young, maybe six or seven at the time. Hikaru wasn't evolved yet, and was still a little Eevee. He had short hair, and on a black suit on that people in taekwondo or karate wear, along with the Riolu.

"No fair Kaito," young Hikaru pouted, Kaito walking over to him.

"Look, you are getting better, but you realize that you are going against me, and I've been training more than you. You'll get better, I'm sure," Kaito smiled. "Now, how about we try this one more time."

"And then ice cream?" young Hikaru asked.

"Sure thing bro," Kaito smiled, giving young Hikaru a noogie.

"I still remember this like it was yesterday," Hikaru informed, scaring Sayuri. "This was a week before the event. That's me and my brother. We trained like that every day for a while. Since I could walk actually. I wanted to be like him."

"That's your brother?" Sayuri asked.

"Yup. He was always kind," Hikaru remembering what came next. "After the spar, we went with mom to get ice cream. Our dad was teaching a kendo class at the time. That was a good day. We actually played some games afterwards, and after that, me and Kaito spent a few hours talking about different things. He like to draw, and was really good. I was okay with my writing. We even agreed to create a manga together. Sadly, that event halted that dream of ours."

"I'm sorry," Sayuri sadly spoke.

"You had no control over it. But I think I did say that if you entered my mind again, I would make it worse. And Miyako let something slip a while back," Hikaru smirked.

/-/Hikaru's Room\-\

Sayuri ran screaming profanities at Hikaru, running to her own room, Hikaru lazily walking out of his room, seeing Sari drowsily dragging herself out to see what the commotion was about.

"She went in my mind. I warned her," Hikaru simply informed, smirking. "Blackmail is great."

"What did you say to her?" Sari yawned, following Hikaru downstairs.

"Can't say. That's the whole point of blackmail. But it involves a little Zoroark we know," Hikaru added.

"Please. I still can't be around her," Sari shook, remembering the punishment for the bet she lost.

"Suck it up. It couldn't have been that bad," Hikaru realized what he said, and sighed. "I take that back. It must have been terrifying."

"So, what's planned for the upcoming Sunday?" Sari asked, Hikaru shrugging.

"I'm unsure. But I know that I want Chrissy to enjoy herself," Hikaru informed, opening the fridge, grabbing a bottle of orange juice. "Want some?"

"Sure," Sari spoke, Hikaru getting two glasses. He poured an equal amount in each, and handed one to Sari. "But why? You randomly surprise her with romantic actions. I'd say that this is just another excuse for couples to be all lovey-dovey in public."

"Are you perhaps jealous?" Hikaru asked, readying himself.

"Yes," Sari answered. Hikaru looked surprised. Not by the answer itself, but the way she put it. He was expecting a slap, but it was just a verbal one.

"Look," Hikaru started, putting a hand on Sari's shoulder. "I care about you. I really do. But I also love Chrissy. She's been hurt because of me talking with a friend once, and it pained both of us. However, she knows that we are closer than family. I don't want to hurt either of you. I really don't."

Sari smiled a little, looking at Hikaru. "I'm glad you haven't changed much. It used to be just the three of us, but when everything got crazy, I was left alone. I don't want that to happen again," Sari spoke, a few tears escaping her eyes.

HEY EVERYONE! I WAS ACTUALLY PLANNING A LONGER CHAPTER, BUT STUFF HAPPENED, THE BIGGEST ONE BEING A JOB INTERVIEW, THE SECOND BEING THE DAMNED WATER TEMPLE!
