Those who do not fear their blade are not fit to wield it.~ Shuhei Hisagi
CHAPTER 4


"What do you mean?" I asked. I scratched my head again.

"My planet has been studying your galaxy for some time now! You have a very interesting history! You should be proud of this place!" she said. She actually knew very little about the U.S., so I told her the basics and stuff.

After that, she was facinated with the TV. She quickly mastered it and as she flipped channels, she saw a show where there were two peolpe getting married. Her face seemed to lose its happy glow as she frowned and changed the channel after a second.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"Oh nothing. It just reminded me of my future. That's all," she sighed.

"What? You don't want to get married?"

"It's not that! It's just who I have to marry!" she replied looking at her feet.

"So it's a planned marriage?" I asked.

"Yes. To Larian," was her reply. "Larian is the emperor's youngest and only son. He is next in line even though he has an older sister, Rena."

To make a long story short, this Larian guy's an a-hole from what she tells me! He's arrogant, loud, stupid, and ignorant! Oh yeah, and arrogant. He gets away with everything and gets everyone else in trouble. And Cindi's expected to love him, marry him, and most likely have his kids! You can't blame her for hating him!

"Are you supposed to get married to anyone?" Cindi asked.

"Uh...no! I don't even have girlfriend!" I admitted. Don't get me wrong, I want one! Just never tried to get one!

"Hm. What's that? A...girlfriend?" Cindi questioned. She was going through a pack of Uno cards when she asked.

That was a good question! I've never been the best at explaining thing s but I gave it a shot. "A girlfriend is usually something a boy has. Girls have boyfriends. Basically it's a process called "dating". On these dates they do things together they both enjoy. Unlike marriage, you don't have to have just one," I explained.

Told you I suck at explaining. She pretty much got it though. "You mean if they don't want to be together anymore, then they can leave each other?" she asked.

"Right!" I confirmed.

"It's almost like a test!" Cindi commented. Now that I think about it, she's right! Just something else I like about her! She's smart and has good ideas!

Then, the back door opened and closed. Mama. I looked at Cindi and whispered,"Stay here and try to stay quiet!"

"Uh-huh," she nodded and I ran out of the room and to the back door where Mama was.

"Hi Mama!" I greeted.

I hugged and kissed her and she asked, "So how'd you do?"

"I don't know! They didn't tell me my grade right then!" I answered.

"How do you think you did?"

Damn! I hate it when she asks that! "OK I guess!" I relpied with a sigh. I returned upstairs and closed my door behind me. Cindi and I would wait for dinner. I would sneak her up some later.

When it was time, I went downstairs and in the living room was Dad watching TV. There was a slight grin on his face as he looked at me.

"Hey boy!" he called. I walked over to him and put my forehead against his. My big brother isn't off work til late so usually it's just us three.

After I got Cindi her food, we watched more TV and stuff for awhile.
