Keiko seemed to bounce back rather quickly opening her eyes as though her energy returned rather quickly. "Oniichan..! You're back.. I forgot to ask you if you would rather have Udon or Ramen tonight...."

 "But my friends might need my help." Kiara understood Ken's concern for her wellbeing but that demonic presence was making her uneasy. She recognized that demonic energy as that old man Ken and her ran into in Kuragari when they went to save Keiko. Kiara walked closer to Ken tippy toeing to place a small peck on the lips. "I promise I'll be safe. This isn't the first time I had to fight a demon and it won't certainly be the last," she said with a small smile.

 Ken smiled down at her, and shook his head. "Learn some english, kid." his smile widened and he flicked her forehead a bit. He was the elder brother and teasing her was always a blast. "Ramen, please." He said, looking over at Kiara to see what she was going to do now. When he found out, he sighed and rubbed his temple once again. "Fine... Once things get hairy, I'm getting you out though." He said, making it final. He smiled and embraced her for a moment. "I love you, Kiara..." Before she could respond, she was inside Hazel's house. Ken turned around towards Keiko and sat down on the couch. Now, he was going to have to go through what Kiara had just done.

Keiko looked at her brother and seeing that he had a slight look of worry on his face, after Kiara was gone she said to him to lighten the mood, "When is Oniichan's wedding..?"

It took a moment for Ken to register Keiko's words, but when he did, his eyes widened and he lost his balance for a moment, almost falling back as he flailed his arms about in front of him. "Wedding!? It's way to early to even be thinking that!!?" Truthfully, marraige kind of scared him, even though he knew he truly loved Kiara. Besides that, they had only been together a few days now. Who the hell goes and gets married after a few days, not wasted, and able to keep that marriage going. No, there was no way in hell he'd ask her such a question yet. Yet? Wow, he couldn't really believe he was even thinking about doing it at all. It made a smile creep up on his face though. "Keiko, let's get dinner started, ok? I'm sure Kiara'll be hungry when she gets back." He beamed down at his little sister and walked into the kitchen.

Keiko smiled knowing she was still able to change her brother's focus when he was worried as she noticed the slight smile on his face. She followed Ken into the kitchen and took out the already prepared noodles she had brought from their home in Japan. As she brought the pot of water to a boil, she sighed and asked him, "Oniichan, do you really not want me here..?"

"Huh?" Ken looked down when she asked if he didn't want her around. He laughed for a moment and turned away from the boiling noodles, facing his sister. "Listen, if I truly didn't want you around, you'd be in Japan right now." He rubbed her head, messing up her hair a bit before he went back to fixing up the food. "You know when not to bother me, I hope..." He glanced down at her, hoping she understood what he meant. When he was in his room, with a girl, that meant no one was to enter. He'd literally send her into the ocean for a bit if she didn't let him have his privacy.

Keiko blinked and then laughed, "Oniichan is too much of a playboy!" She then stuck her tongue out at him as she stuck the ramen noodles in the boiling water. She seasoned the ramen with her own seasoning and flavor which seemed to taste a lot better than the instant noodles.. Keiko was happy and really hoped Ken wouldn't try and ask why she was there.. Though she knew eventually he would find out...

Ken laughed a bit when he was called a playboy and shook his head gently. "So, how many boyfriends have you had since I left?" He said, smirking down at her as he asked the question that would most likely fluster his little sister.

Keiko had a hint of sadness in her eyes as she tried to act cool in front of her brother. "Zero.." She turned off the stove as she poured the pot of Ramen into a giant heat saver bowl. "So does Oniichan want to wait for Kiara or should we eat now..? No matter what we can wait for desert for her.." she smiled up at him--attempting to change the subject.

Ken shook his head. "We'll wait..." He poked her forehead and crouched down a bit so he was eye-level with her. "Listen, I'm sure guys are too shy to approach you. You're a cute kid, you have to be, you're related to me after all." He grinned smugly, then continued, "But you're way to receded, Keiko. You shouldn't be open to ONLY me." He shook his head and thought of what he was going to do with her. "You'll be going to school here and during that time, you're going to open up a bit more to others..." He shook his head and grabbed her arms gently. "Alright, kiddo...?" He reached forward and kissed her forehead. "Brat..." He said, chuckling a bit as he stood up and continued stirring the ramen a bit. Kiara wouldn't be much longer, he hoped.

"But Mother told me that I would be only here during the school break.." she really did want to stay, but she knew that Ken would have to talk to their mother about it.. and then he would find out the reason that she was shipped off. "Mother said I had to make to the plane in two weeks or she would find you a suitable wife--the arranged kind.." She hoped he would be more worried about her excuse as to what would happen to him if she didn't go back rather than questioning why she seemed not to want to stay..

Ken shook his head as she spoke, letting out a short snort when she finished. "Alright, first of all, I'm twenty years old, in America, and in love with Kiara. She can set me up an arranged marraige, doesn't mean my happy a** will acknowledge this woman or show up for such an occasion. Second, you're a terrible liar and I already took a sneak peak into that head of yours, so knock it off. I'll talk to mom later and we'll see about you going to school here." Before she could speak up, he moved flicked her forehead. "It's final, Keiko, so don't even argue..." He walked into the living room and sat down on the couch, turning on his television to witness the news on the odd ground quaking and shattering occurences. He almost laughed, thinking it was amusing since he was the only one capable of seeing the people behind the event. He lifted the remote and turned the television, turning on some horror flick.

Keiko was about to protest when Ken flicked her forehead and then walked off to watch tv. After a while Keiko came out and stood just behind the couch holding her purse and wearing her jacket. "I'm going to go shopping, would you like anything..?"

Ken looked back at her, leaning his head back to see her. "If you go near a battle, I'll kill you myself. What do I need? Hmm, nothing your capable of buying." He really wanted some sake, but there was two problems with that. It was rather difficult to get some around Marok and the drinking age was twenty-one here. Well, he only had about a month to go, so it wasn't that bad now. "We'll need chicken, soy sauce, rice, eggs, peas, and carrots for the meal I'll be making tomorrow." He gave her a thumbs up and lied down on the couch, resting his eyes while he could. Of course, his real action was keeping a tab on Kiara's energy. If he felt a single, bad shift, he was bringing her back.
