Crossover: I Took In a Runaway High School Girl

In the club room, Renji arrived excitedly. He was there because of yesterday's promise—the lap pillow! He had been craving Yukino's legs for a long time. However, when he saw Yuki there, his eyes immediately rolled.

"Why are you here?"

"Wow, Onii-chan, you're so mean! You're not welcoming me? Then I'll just leave, okay?" Yuki closed her eyes, looking heartbroken, and pretended to be about to leave.

Renji didn't know if this girl was just acting or genuinely sad. He didn't want to take any risks. He hurriedly held her hand. "Don't! I was just a little surprised, I didn't mean to drive you away."

"Hehe, I knew Onii-chan cared about me!" Even though Sumireko and Yukino were there, Yuki still threw herself into Renji's arms and hugged his waist tightly.

Renji immediately blushed. He wasn't embarrassed, but he felt tempted and was trying hard to suppress his feelings.

"Ahem, Suou-san, please be serious and don't throw yourself into the arms of a playboy," Yukino reprimanded with a stern face, deliberately emphasizing the word "playboy."

Yuki pouted. "Why, are you jealous of me, Yukino? Is it because you can throw yourself into Onii-chan's arms and act spoiled?"

"Huh?! What are you talking about? Why would I be jealous of something like that?" Yukino hurriedly explained. "As the club president, I'm just maintaining the atmosphere. I can't let a vulgar atmosphere contaminate the entire club."

Renji let out a helpless sigh. "That 'vulgar' refers to me, right?" His eyes caught Yukino's disdainful glare, as if to say, It is vulgar!

Yuki felt that Yukino was just jealous. However, since she had just joined, she didn't want to be too aggressive. She released her embrace and smiled. "Onii-chan is the gentlest person, you'll find out later, Yukino."

"I don't want to know."

A while later, Yuigahama Yui arrived. She was surprised to see Renji and Yuki.

"Renji, why are you here too? And who is this?"

"Hello, I'm Yuki Suou, Onii-chan's most beloved sister!"

"So that's your sister... Wait, sister?" Yui was shocked.

"Yeah, she said they kiss each other," Yuki said mischievously.

Renji glanced at Yukino, who was a little flustered. He smiled at Yui. "I'm a club member, so of course I'm here. Besides, didn't you say you'd make me a cake? I came to make sure you weren't lazy or fooling me."

Yui puffed out her cheeks. "I'm not fooling you! This, you see... I learned with Yukino and Sumireko. I did well, right?" She looked at them expectantly.

Sumireko smiled and nodded. "Yes, Yuigahama-san studied very hard, but there wasn't enough time yesterday."

Yukino reluctantly nodded. "She tried very hard."

Renji immediately understood. Yui had tried hard, but the result wasn't good. Yui was known as a bad cook, to the point that her mother forbade her from entering the kitchen.

"In that case, let's work hard together. I'll also make a cake today," Renji said. "Don't be mistaken, I'm a good cook."

Yui, who had been shy, was now surprised. "In that case, I'll leave it to you!"

Yukino unconsciously bit her lip. Yuigahama was truly serious. But when Sumireko and I accompanied you to make the cake yesterday, you weren't this happy. She looked at Renji. This man hugged her yesterday, and now he was giving gentle signals to Yui. What was his deal?

On the way to the cooking room, Renji deliberately fell behind and whispered something in Yukino's ear. "Yukino, after you finish Yui's commission, don't forget my lap pillow. If you don't give it to me, I'll chase you tonight to ask for it!"

Yukino blushed and glared at him. But her words came out soft. "I know... I'm not the type to break a promise."

Renji rolled his eyes. "Who was it who sent a message yesterday that the lap pillow was off?"

Yukino fell silent, looking at him with embarrassment and anger. But Renji just proudly winked. "Anyway, I just want Yukino's lap pillow!"

Yukino didn't answer. Her face was already red up to her ears. She hurried to quicken her pace, giving Renji no chance to tease her further. She hated that Yuigahama was happy because of Renji's words. But she herself was the same, wasn't she?

In the cooking room, after a busy time, Yui's slightly burnt cake came out of the oven. She looked at Renji's perfect cake and felt frustrated. Her cooking skills were defeated by a man. A major failure. Yuki's cake also looked and tasted perfect.

"I'm sorry, Renji, I'm really not good at cooking," Yui bowed her head, looking very disappointed.

Renji smiled. He took Yui's burnt cake and ate it. "It's just a little burnt on the outside, but it still tastes good and is edible," he said gently. "Yui, you were too nervous, that's why you couldn't control the time well. It's okay. A girl's worth isn't only reflected in her cooking." He reassured her. "Yui wanted to make a cake for me, and I really appreciate it. Thank you for trying to make a cake for me even though you're not good at cooking." He smiled warmly. "I'll take all these cakes for lunch, so don't fight with me over them."

"Wuwuwu... Renji, thank you!" Yui was moved to tears. Renji had accepted her sincerity.

"Hey, what about us? Yuigahama-san, you know, we helped you too," Yuki teased.

"Hehe, of course I have to thank you too!" Yui replied. She bowed deeply, thanking Yukino, Sumireko, and Yuki. After that, she glanced at Renji and ran off happily.

Renji looked at Yukino and winked at her again. Lap pillow! Lap pillow!

Yukino felt embarrassed, but she had no choice. The agreement had to be fulfilled. So, she made an excuse to go to the bathroom.

Renji also made an excuse to leave the club room. He excitedly followed Yukino.

Sumireko and Yuki exchanged glances. "The club president is dishonest! She always looks down on Renji, but now she's secretly dating him! She's so cunning!" Without hesitation, the two of them started following Renji and Yukino, beginning their detective mission.
