I changed Yuki's name in the summary, which I honestly think sucks (the summary, not the name), to Yuki Takeuchi, Rinko's maiden name. I just thought how everyone used the name Echizen a lot for the OCs that are related to Ryoma. It's still the same nonetheless.

Enjoy~

Last thing I wanted to do was stand out, which was the case, after all I looked like I was being escorted by a pair of models. I do admit, they were beautiful; the bob haired one was the more mature looking one. She wore a blue blouse and white slacks, she had brown hair and golden eyes. The second girl had a more childish aura to her, she wore white skinny jeans and a pink halter top. She was the one with black wavy hair and deep blue eyes. They were older, and a few inches taller than me, who stood at about five foot three, and had to be at least in high school.

I felt a bit embarrassed by their presence, but just walked like I would with two girls hanging onto me. The girls looked jealous of the girls, and the guys ogled at the girls. They certainly were getting a lot of attention, but they were probably used to this, I could tell because they just ignored the stares they were getting.

"Um…" I started, but just continued on with them. It was fruitless efforts to try and talk with them, they only giggled and whispered amongst themselves. How typical, just like in the anime I've watched.

"Sakuno," Tomoka almost screams out, she was way too excited, "What do you think he'll be like? What do you think Ryoma's cousin will be like?"

"Uh…well…" Sakuno could think of all the possibilities, but somehow couldn't find one to fit as Ryoma's cousin.

"Yuki's very much like Ryoma," Nanako chuckled thinking about her own cousin, "I'm sure you all will like him."

"Just more of a smart ass," Nanjirou added, "But at least Yuki knows his place, and has manners."

"Che," Ryoma just rolled his eyes and chewed on his gum, ignoring everyone.

"Yuki?"

"Yuki Takeuchi," Rinko adds, "He has my maiden name, he's my nephew, my older brother's son."

"Oh, really? What's your brother like, if you don't mind."

"Oh, I don't mind…" Rinko simply replied, "He really was someone I looked up to. Not the type of person our mother and father would like him to be, but I still did look up to him."

"Was?"

A new voice added, "My father died, along with my mother."

Everyone turned around at the sound of the newly heard voice. They see a young boy, the young boy described in the earlier chapter, and two swooning girls clinging onto each of his arms.

The two girls looked hurt, "Such a tragedy! You must be devastated…"

"Are you feeling ok?" the bob haired girl asked, moving her arm around the boy.

"Uh, yes…" he simply answered, his eye twitching. Nanako and Rinko chuckled.

Ryoma coughed, and caught everyone's attention, "Yuki, how is Kimi?"

"Kimi?" the wavy girl looked disappointed, "You're girlfriend?"

"I guess you could say that…" Yuki answered, "I mean, I do love her."

The girls looked highly disappointed, and walked away in shame and defeat as soon as Yuki and Ryoma engaged into conversation. The regulars just watched in silence, until Tomoka, Momo and Kikumaru burst out.

"So you're Ryoma's cousin?" Tomoka shrieked, "You are totally cuter than I though you'd be!"

"But do you really have a girlfriend?"

"No," Yuki sighed, "Kimi's my sister, I just needed to get away from those girls."

Yuki cringed at the sudden bear hug from the over excited girl, "Um…"

"That's Tomoka Osakada," a another girl, with long pigtails quietly spoke, "I'm Sakuno Ryuzaki."

"Yeah," Yuki bluntly replied, "I know every one of you. My Uncle had made sure to inform me of you guys."

"So no introductions?"

"No"

"Do you think it's ok to do this?" Nanako whispered quietly to the adults sitting at the front seat of the car.

Everyone had left for home after some small conversations, and the Echizen family currently sit in the car, driven by Rinko, heading for home. Ryoma and Yuki had fallen asleep, and Nanako felt this was the time to talk about Yuki's situation.

"Yuki's just so young…"

"I blame her father," Najirou harshly whispers, he was looking out the window watching the passing scenery.

"Don't say that," Rinko felt uneasy, "Sure he was an ideal father or son, but Yuki loves him either way."

"If it wasn't for his business, Yuki wouldn't have to deal with this."

"She understands," Rinko simply dismisses the subject, "I understand. Whether you do now doesn't matter, you'll understand our situation sooner or later."

Nanako interrupts, "I just hope everything works out."

Please R&R

I thank Curious reader for reviewing. Just continue to read, you may find things to your liking. Yuki isn't all that he and everyone in the Echizen family make him out to be. I hope I didn't make things too obvious, but oh well.
