Little Yuka

"Hey Yuka, watcha staring at?" Satoshi asked his little sister, coming to join her on the couch and taking a break from his friends whom he left sitting around the coffee table.

"Hmm?" Yuka hummed, only having half heard him.

"Yuka? Is something wrong?" She wasn't usually so out of it.

"No, big brother, just thinking." Yuka explained, still staring intently in his friend's general direction, since he couldn't quite pin point what she was looking at.

"About what? May I ask?" Satoshi questioned.

"Kishinuma and Shinozaki, they're so silly, big brother!" She giggled.

"Yeah, I guess they are pretty funny, aren't they?" Satoshi laughed, watching Ayumi playfully shove Yoshiki, which made him Hide a blush behind his jacket at the contact.

"Why aren't they together like you and Naomi, big brother?" Asked Yuka, with big, blue eyes.

Satoshi turned red at the question, but decided yo answer as honestly as he could.

"I-it's not that easy, Yuka. People, um. . . Often need time for these sorts of things. plus, Yoshiki hasn't even said anything anything to Shinozaki about liking her." Satoshi explained awkwardly.

Yuka sighed loudly. "But he makes it so obvious, has it ever occurred to you that he could maybe, be trying to tell her by making it obvious!" She said, flailing her arms around as if it would prove her point.

"You've got me there." Said Satoshi, cupping his hand around his chin as if in thought.

"Do you think Shinozaki notices, big brother?" Yuka asked, leaning on the arm of the couch, next to her brother.

"Hmm. . . Hard to tell. Maybe? It's really something they should sort out amongst themselves."

"I think we should do something to, you know, help them." Yuka chirped excitedly, practically jumping up and down on the spot.

"What are you thinking, Yuka?" Satoshi asked, disapprovingly. The last thing he wanted was his little sister meddling in his friends's love lives.

"Nothing!" Yuka said suddenly, looking at him with large, innocent eyes. or as innocent as someone deviously plotting could look.

Satoshi only chuckled, brushing off her behaviour as childish antics.

After nothing was said for a while, Satoshi got up from the couch and rejoined his friends. This left a plotting Yuka finalising her brilliant and dastardly plan.
