1. A Disagreement Between Sisters
Inori closed the front door behind herself and set her bag on the floor. She made her way into the kitchen, which was surprisingly empty.
"Hello, anybody home! Mum, Dad?" Inori called out.
"Gah, do you need to be so loud, sis?" Matsuri made her way into the kitchen. Her hair was a tangled mess and it looked as though she was struggling to keep her eyes open.
"Good evening to you too, Matsuri." Inori couldn't help a little smile at her sisters uncouth appearance.
"It's still morning, silly." Matsuri corrected, waving a hand dismissively at her sister.
"Actually it's about half six in the evening, silly. Speaking of, where's everyone else?"
"How the hell should I know? I don't even know where today went." Matsuri sat down at the kitchen table and attempted to rub some of the sleep out of her eyes, with little success. Inori sat across from her, and they both fell into silence. However, after a few moments Matsuri stopped harassing her own eyes to look up at Inori with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Something on your mind?" Inori asked.
"Not really." Matsuri responded, leaning back in her chair. "I just remembered that it's your turn to cook tonight."
"Oh, ok." Inori said nonchalantly. Silence returned to the kitchen. "Wait, what?!"
"It's your turn to cook." Matsuri said simply.
"When was this decided?"
"Well, no-one else is here and I was the last to cook between the two of us." Matsuri explained.
"You offered to cook last time, and besides I've been out all day. I shouldn't have to come home and cook for you when all you've done is laze around all day!" Inori stood up from her chair as she raised her voice.
"One, it's not my fault you went out, and two, I've only just woken up so I can't make any food right now!" Matsuri stood up to face Inori, moving closer towards her.
"This is so typical of you! Always so lazy, never willing to take responsibility!" Inori began to move closer as she yelled.
"And you're always there to bitch at me about every little thing! Everything's my fault, it's never yours!" Matsuri moved even closer as her voice got louder. Inori clenched her fist as her temper began to fray.
"You immature child!"
"Uptight asshole!" Both girls were mere millimetres away from each other now. That's when it happened. Matsuri put her hand behind Inori's neck and roughly brought her in for a kiss. A long, passionate, desperate kiss. After almost a full minute the two of them pulled back.
"I...I'm sorry Matsuri." Inori said softly as she rested her hands on her little sisters shoulders.
"Yeah, I guess I'm sorry too, sis." Matsuri leaned forward to rest her head on Inori's chest. "But...you're still cooking my dinner." Inori let out a groan, before a contented smile found it's way onto her lips.
2. Fishing For Compliments
Tsukasa stared at the fish swimming in the tank a in awe. They were so varied in size, shape and colour. She couldn't personally name them all, but she liked to admire them anyway. Though considering where she was, she wondered how many of the fish in the tank were on the menu.
"Tsukasa, say 'ah'." Tsukasa turned back to the table she was at. Kagami was holding a piece of temaki in her chopsticks, offering it to her. Tsukasa opened her mouth and Kagami popped the morsel in, giving a smirk as she did. "I haven't fed you like this since you were-we were toddlers." Kagami corrected herself.
"You've always been there for me sis, even when we were little." Tsukasa responded once she'd finished eating.
"You're my little sister, Tsukasa. I care about you. More than anything else." Kagami placed her hand atop Tsukasa's. "I'm glad we could come out here tonight, just you and me." The girls looked around the restaurant they were in. It was a decently-sized sushi place, nothing too fancy but not a dingy, backwater place either.
Tsukasa looked back to the fish tank on the other side of the room. Kagami took note of it this time.
"Is something the matter, Tsukasa? You keep staring at the fish like you want to take one home." Kagami gave a small laugh.
"No sis, I was just thinking how lucky I am." Tsukasa said introspectively.
"What do you mean?" Tsukasa turned to Kagami, looking straight into her eyes.
"There are so many pretty fish in the sea; but none of them are as beautiful as you, Kagami." Tsukasa said seriously. Kagami laughed again.
"That was really cheesy, you know." She leaned over to lightly embrace Tsukasa. "But thank you."
"The food here's nice, but there's nothing as tasty as you, sis."
"Okay, you can stop now Tsukasa." Kagami deadpanned. Tsukasa smiled in embarrassment.
"I guess I got carried away. I say it cus I love you sis."
"Ha, I love you too Tsukasa." Kagami gave her little sister a kiss on the cheek. "Now, stop gawking at the fish and eat your damn food, Tsukasa!"
3. Everybody Falls
Matsuri was sat in the kitchen reading the day's newspaper. She heard the front door open and Kagami walked into the room, her school uniform soaking wet and dirty.
"Tsukasa won't be home for a while, she went to Konata's." Kagami said tiredly. Matsuri looked up from the paper.
"That's oka-Woah, what the hell happened to you?!" Matsuri tossed the paper aside and leant forward on the table.
"It's raining outside." Kagami stated. Matsuri shook her head.
"You don't end up looking like that from a little rain. What happened?" Kagami pinched the bridge of her nose as she sighed.
"I was walking home. I needed to cross the road, but my mind was still on when Tsukasa had told me she wouldn't be coming home with me. I wasn't concentrating and...I slipped on the curb and fell into a puddle." Kagami put a hand on her forehead and the other on her hip. "I'm fine though, it was just a stupid mistake." Matsuri looked up at the ceiling as she folded her arms.
"I see."
"See what?" Kagami asked impatiently.
"So thinking about Tsukasa makes Kagami wet." Matsuri said with a mischievous smile.
The room was silent for a moment as Matsuri smirked and Kagami blushed.
"I think I'm going to go now." Kagami turned on her heel and quickly left the room. Matsuri returned to her paper.
"Totally called it."
