Noriko shrugged once as her brother vanished around a corner with Kuri in his arms. She might not be entirely on speaking terms with her brother yet, but most of the outright antagonism from last autumn was gone now. Most of it due to a huge debt she owed Yukio and Kyoko. There were still rumours about the oversexed couple floating around.

The next time Noriko shrugged was the following evening when Ryu and Kuri failed to show up at their hotel. As far as Noriko was concerned the couple could take some of the heat from Yukio and Kyoko. Besides, Noriko had no doubt about who were the really oversexed ones – she herself most definitely didn't belong to that group.

That thought filled her with more than a little consternation. Urufu was painfully slow in that department. When asked, a week or so earlier, Kuri confirmed her suspicions. It wasn't that people born in Sweden during the 1960s shied away from sex during their teens. Kuri was adamant that Urufu behaved like the king of morons. If he spent half a year with a girlfriend who wanted nothing more than to get close and cuddly with him and still not took her to his bed then something was seriously wrong with him.

'Like I needed to be told that,' Noriko growled silently. There was so much wrong with him she sometimes wondered why she had ever fallen in love with him at all.

She stared at him where he stood surrounded by angry teachers in the lobby and tried to explain why the world wouldn't go down in flames just because Kuri and Ryu hadn't arrived yet.

'But there is so much right with you as well.' Angry at her brother as she was she still filled with warmth at watching how Urufu chose to stand up for him.

”Did you turn in your plans?” she asked on her way to his side. It was a deliberate attempt at taking some of the heat away from him.

”Huh? My plans for after graduation?” he asked and turned. So did half of the teachers as well.

”Yeah, I'm curious you know.”

Urufu copied her earlier expression and shrugged. ”I'm dropping TIT. Not my cup of tea.”

”TIT?” one teacher asked and Noriko knew she had them.

”Yeah, tech institute.” Urufu met her eyes. ”You know I want to go to the same place as you. Why don't we just take the exams and match results? We can pick one after that.”

”Tokyo Institute of Technology?” the same teacher added.

”Uhum. Not interested any more. Toudai, Waseda or Keio. That way her parents can't complain if we go to the same place.”

The teacher's eyes bulged. ”What did you mean by match?”

”If one of us fail one we just skip that place. Besides, exams might be on the same dates, and then we just have to agree on one of them,” Urufu said and turned his attention to Noriko again.

'Yup. That's why I love you after all.' He was oblivious to how insane his statement sounded. One didn't just make a pick of one of those three universities like it was a matter of candy flavour.

”Toudai sounds boring,” Noriko teased.

There was some more bulging.
