OH KAIDOH. *Squee, chain reaction!* I was grinning like an idiot reading that whole section. Now, why can't my sister be like Hazue... Life would be so much fun! XD. Oh, but we have crazy moments too. Bleh.

... KAIDOH I LOVE YOU. But poor Inui...

Sheryl is a very happy fangirl today... Do you take I-Owe-Yous for chocolates? Maybe cookies this time. *gives you the whole jar of cookies*

I remember there's only 2 more stones... NOO! Is it going to end there? *wistful look like Inui*

[sheraccoon]

I am an idiot... I went back to read chapter 2 and there's only one more-Red tourmaline *smacks self*

... (small voice) does that mean only 1 more chapter?

[vegeta_no_oujo]

Two more chapters, actually. (points up to the Author's Note for this chapter) Red Tourmaline and then a closing out chapter called Geode.

[vegeta_no_oujo]

Mmm... coookieeees (stashes them away with the chocolate, where no one else can find them)

I wish my older siblings were like Kaidoh (nodnods). That would have been a lot of fun.

[yes_rhade]

Hmm, if I let my sons read this, I wonder if they would get along better.

[vegeta_no_oujo]

(grins) It's always possible. Not likely, but possible. And there's always the risk that you'll end up with half naked boys sliding across the kitchen floor in their socks while singing loudly.

[yes_rhade]

No, now they run up and down the hallway half-naked, blankets tied around their necks, carrying plungers, declaring they are "Plnger Man". I have pictures!

[vegeta_no_oujo]

(laughs) Sounds really cute. (grins) Kids do really interesting things. And the fact that you have pictures means you can embarrass them when they get girlfriends and invite them over.

I feel jealous too, as I'm an only child. And occasionally, when I RP Inui, that comes across sometimes as well. Which is stupid, but...*shrugs*

It's a very well done chapter, and I can't wait to see the last couple of chapters.

[vegeta_no_oujo]

I've got two older siblings, but one is nine years older and the other is eleven years older, so they've never had much to do with me (though it was interesting when the eleven-years-older one had to come live with me and I was his boss). It was almost like being an only child and was pretty lonely.

I think both Inui and Kaidoh were very lonely boys before meeting each other, though Inui even more so. Kaidoh has always had his family, while Inui is an only child with apparently absentee parents.

[willowscry]

Actually, I have three half siblings that are my mother's children from a previous marriage. And they are like...20 some years older than I am. I think most of them were born in the 1960s, and I was born in 1980. I don't know any of them personally. I have talked to my half brother before, but that's it. I've never even met any of them, so I totally consider myself an only child.

I can see that. Even though they're part of the team, they seem like outsiders, so I can see why they sort of got to know each other better.

[disutansu]

Close in age but perhaps also when they're either brothers or sisters if they're going to test themselves. *has a younger bro and doesn't feel that test from him* Though when we have our sibling bonding moments, they make me happy. ^o^

[vegeta_no_oujo]

Sibling bonding moments are fun (nodnods) I've had a few with my sister, but she's nine years older than me, so we didn't have much in common when I was younger.

I love my little sis!
and I love this chapter, too X3
kaidoh and his baby brother are just so cute!! >____

[vegeta_no_oujo]

(nodnod) They're cute when they bond. Hazue can be evil when he wants to be though. (must some day write about when Hazue was an ichinen at Seigaku and in the tennis club while Kaidoh was captain... and about the time when Hazue got 60 laps for saying "Yes, Oh Great and Mighty Cuddler of Kittens" when told to run 20 laps for talking to Sakuno instead of doing racket practice)

[bunny_d_kate]

yes, please do!!! XDDD
