The apartment was silent as she
made her way to the kitchen the next morning.
Sitting beside her plate of toast was a new sketchpad and set of
pencils. A note, propped against her
juice glass, informed her that the gift was from Ken. ‘Because the pad you’ve been using is almost gone.’

She ate quickly, her eyes darting
back to the gift constantly. There was
an itch in her fingertips, and as soon as she’d dumped her plate and glass in
the sink, she grabbed the pencils and pad up, sliding into her shoes at a run
as she headed for the door.

“Yohji? Brie-chan?” Ken popped his head into her room, sighing
when it was empty as well. He pulled
his cell phone out of his pocket, hitting the button pre-programmed for Aya’s
phone. The redhead only grunted when he
picked up, so Ken simply started talking.
“I got home a little early from practice. Where are you guys?”

“Mission reconnaissance.” Aya’s voice was a whisper of sound over the
faintly crackling line.

“Shit, that’s right. So where’s Brianna?” When silence answered him, he elaborated. “Omi’s got that school thing tonight, you
and Yohji are out doing the mission stuff, and I’m home. Brianna is not in any of these places.”

“Where is she?”

“I don’t know, Aya, that’s
why I’m asking you.” Ken blew his
breath out in frustration, pushing his hair back with one exasperated
hand. “You saw her before you left,
right?” Another silence, this one
wordlessly tinged with guilt. “You
didn’t see her. Okay, that’s fine.”

“She can’t have gone far.”

“Right. Anyway, do the job. I’ll
find her.” Ken turned the phone off,
gritting his teeth. Sometimes, just
sometimes, I still want to punch Aya in the face. He could’ve just told me he hadn’t seen her all day. He searched the apartment again, just in
case she’d left a note that had fallen, but found nothing.

With a much more worried sigh, he
grabbed his motorcycle helmet and headed down to the street.

He found her an hour later, sitting
in a small park with his cousin.
“Brianna!” He stormed towards
her, anger radiating off of him.

“Ken-kun.” She smiled up at him brilliantly, though it
wavered slightly at the edges. “I came
out to sketch with your gift, and met up with Kat.”

“We spent the day hanging out,
playing around with some landscapes.”
Kat waved, her grin hiding the nervousness she felt at seeing the look
on Ken’s face.

“Damnit, you should have left a
note. No one knew where you were, and
I’ve been looking all over the place.”

“I’m sorry.” She tipped her head down, staring at her
lap, her shoulders slumping. “I was
just really excited to try out the new materials, and then I met Kat, and we
started talking….”

“We both needed it, Ken. C’mon.
Girls are allowed out on their own, you know.” Kat rolled her eyes at him, feeling a little bolder when he just
stood there, anger slowly leaking from him.

“It’s still a little dangerous,
Brie-chan. What is Sarisho still had
some men out with orders to hurt you?”
Ken knelt in front of her as she looked up at him in alarm, the idea
obviously never having crossed her mind.

“Ken.” Kat reached out and touched his shoulder. “Don’t say too much. I was with her all day. Nothing could have happened.”

“I know. Now. But….” He folded Brianna into his arms. “I was worried.”

“I’m sorry.” Her voice was muffled on his shoulder, but
sincere, and she hugged him back. “I’ll
be sure to let you know what I’m doing next time.”

Kat stuck her tongue out at
Ken. “Whatever. I’ll call you next time, worrywort.” She jumped guiltily as a voice called out
her name. “Oops.”

Brianna and Ken looked up to see a
tall dark-haired boy stride down the path, his eyes fixated on Kat. She pulled her ponytail over her shoulder
and stood, straightening her skirt before meeting the boy’s eyes. “Touma.
I guess I’m a bit late.”

“Just a bit. Seiji and I were hoping we’d have time to
get dinner before the movie, but it doesn’t look likely now.” His voice was mellow and smooth, and he
smiled curiously at the other two.
“Hashiba Touma.” He held his
hand out, and Ken stood, helping Brianna up, and shook it.

“Hidaka Ken. This is Brianna MacLeod.”

“Pleased to meet you.” She inclined her head as she shook his hand
as well, exchanging a quick smile with Kat when the boys weren’t looking.

“You’re Kat’s cousin, aren’t you?” Touma smiled at the girl, stepping closer to
her and taking her hand.

“Yes. We’re sorry we made her late.”
Ken shook his head. “Apparently
both of them forgot how to tell time tonight.”

“Ken-kun, don’t be mean.” Kat poked her cousin in the stomach, and he
grimaced as she hit a bruise. Her eyes
widened a bit. “I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. I was in the way when one of the flower pots
tipped over yesterday.”

“Right. Sure thing. Flower pots.” Kat winked at him, then giggled as her eyes
met Brianna’s.

“We’re leaving now. I am so not up to this tonight.” Ken took Brianna’s hand and began tugging
her after him, his footsteps nearly silent.

They could hear Touma ask Kat what
her cousin did, that flower pots could leave bruises. Neither heard what the girl answered.

As they reached the bike, Brianna
slowed. “I really am sorry, Ken.”

“I know, baby. I’m not mad. I was just really worried.”
He shrugged, stowing her things in the saddlebags, and helped her to
slide on. “Let’s head home. I’ll make something for dinner, and we can
veg out and watch a movie until the others get home.”

“That sounds nice.” Brianna tightened her arms around him as he
started the engine and pulled away from the curb. “But I think I’d rather fool around than watch a movie.”

The bike wobbled for a moment as Ken fought for control, and
then the engine revved, sending the bike speeding down the road.

Just a quick chapter! Sorry for the long time between updates, but I've just started a new job, so things were a bit hectic. It's quieting down, so I'll try hard to update more often. Please let me know what you think so far! (If this is the first taste of my writing, you can read the beginning of the story in 'Thicker Than Blood' and 'Broken', both also on aff.net.)
