DAMMIT. My life CAN'T be this weird has hit a snag…And I need to see some KyousukexKirino love NAO! So why not? Maybe a oneshot romance collection is what Onii-sama ordered~
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Ayase~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He was a perverted Onii-san. There was nothing that could convince me differently, at one time in my life. And for the Nth time in the last week, I find myself doubting what I once took as pure, irrefutable fact.
"I am deeply in love with my little sister!"
He said that once, and I believed it unquestioningly. He was a convenient target to blame, and he MUST have known that it would be an accepted statement. Kirino would have never had such foul things in her possession if not for him. It was all that pervert Onii-san's fault!
Or so I had thought.
A simple comment. That's all it took for the foundation of all I KNEW about my best to be shaken.
"Damn, that Onii-san is like a whipped housewife. He's so spineless it's almost pathetic."
The more I look at it, the more I see what it Kanako-chan meant.
Kyousuke may have been perverted, and he may like eroge…but I wonder if he really corrupted Kirino…or did Kirino corrupt him?
The way she looks at him when she knows he's not looking…The way he smiles at her…the way he bends to her every whim…
He's a pervert, right? …But in what way is he a pervert? Kirino gets more joy out of her…"hobby" than he does. I'd be blind not to see that.
But why? Why does he sacrifice so much for her? Was I wrong? Was…was Onii-san the "innocent" pervert? Was Kirino the one behind it all?
…Was Kirino the pervert the whole time?
NO! I won't believe that! It's Pervert Onii-san that is the cause!...I think.
I refuse to believe that my best friend is a pervert…If I don't believe that, then that means both of them lied.
…They both lied…NO! No nononono…Snap out of it, Ayase! Kirino wouldn't lie and let him take the blame for her own!
Would she?
…I…Don't know. The way she treats him…she would, wouldn't she?
Siscon. Pervert Onii-san is called one all the time. And it's true. He never denied it. In fact, he said he was in love with her, and the way he looks at her…it's totally obvious. Unless…
The look he gives Kirino-chan…Kirino-chan gives him the same look. Siscon, Brocon. Sister-lover, Brother-lover. The look they give each other is the same. If Kyousuke Kosaka is a Siscon…then Kirino-chan is a Brocon.
Both are, or neither are…No way.
NO WAY. They can't…surely I'm imagining things! Stupid Pervert Onii-san!
But if it's true…then it would make sense…I knew Kirino would listen to Kyousuke if he talked to her about coming back to Japan. I knew this, but I never questioned why. Did I already know? Am I just in denial?
On or off. Is or Isn't. Siscon and Brocon, or neither.
I don't want to think about it anymore, but now that I've questioned it, I can't stop until I know for sure.
Kirino-chan, pervert Onii-san…Until I know, I refuse to acknowledge that I could be wrong.
Why did you have to say that, Kanako-chan…why did you have to expose what I overlooked….

I wonder if Kyou-chan knows yet…
Kyou-chan and I have been friends for a long time, but this is something I never expected.
I love Kyou-chan. I'm plain, normal, and safe. But he rejected me, choosing to stay as things were.
But he was willing to change for Kirino. Change for her, his little sister.
I never expected my main competitor for Kyou-chan's heart to be his little sister.
And she does like him. I think…she may even love him. We don't know each other that well, but she was clearly jealous when I came over to their house. I thought she didn't want me to take her big brother away…but maybe that wasn't it. Maybe she was feeling threatened.
Kyou-chan had dirty magazines out that day…and they all had glasses. Kyou-chan has a glasses fetish? But the computer…Why? Why was Kyou-chan playing imouto eroge?
I was serious when I offered to call him Onii-chan…Maybe that was the first clue that he liked his little sister.
…How did it get like this? He acts more like I'm his relative than Kirino! I don't understand it! They lived together! ...Was their relationship really that bad? Did they skip the sibling bond? If that's the case, do I even have a chance?
It doesn't matter…I'll stay with Kyou-chan until he pushes me away. I'll keep dropping hints, and maybe someday, I'll be surprised.
…It may not have much of a chance to happen, but I'll keep hoping…if not, then I'll support Kyou-chan.
Because I love Kyou-chan, and I just want to see him happy.

It would appear that I struck close to home with my manga that day. Maybe that person didn't sniff senpai's underwear, but the idea is there. That girl would deny it if asked, but she can't fool my all seeing eyes. In fact, she must possess some dark powers herself to have eluded my dark sight. How long has she had that unspoken contract with senpai? I knew that girl had an unmistakable fondness that extended beyond that of two mortal siblings. But I always Saw it as a platonic affection, doomed by the deities to never truly exist in this plane of reality.
Perhaps it is not her who possessed the dark power. Perhaps it was senpai all along.
If it was, then I underestimated him. Not only did he manage to bind my dark core to his own, but he also managed to cover up his bond with that girl.
Either way, they have both bonded to each other, yet by some divine trick, they have bonded to each other in different spots. I may not have had a chance had their bonds been truly solidified and attached to each other as they should.
Or are they? The way they look at each other now is that of two greater beings who have reached a truce. Did they meet each other's bond? I cannot be sure, but they are closer than they once were. The dark look in their eyes as they look to the other seems to reach out, wanting to touch. Their fates are entangled; I knew this when I felt the call of his aura to my own. But to what extent, I cannot be sure.
When that girl left, I could see the bond stretch. But Senpai's bond only grew thicker in response to the distance. Would our ties do the same? Or would they stretch and snap?
That day…I wanted to tell him. I wanted to confess my attraction to him, and see if I could intertwine my fate with his. But that girl…He still chose her. And I could not bring myself to stop him, after hearing the worry in his voice.
He missed Kirino; and it was noticeable. No matter how he may try to hide it, he missed that girl. So I cursed him. He would die if he didn't go all the way; by my hand or that of the darkness, he would fall. But in truth, I don't think cursing him affected the outcome at all.
He is an odd being, walking in light and shadow…yet he draws brings to him from both. How odd that his aura would target his sister…But I suppose it cannot be helped. He is who he is, and his aura is likely no more controllable than mine. If he chooses to bond with that girl, then it will be so. Why he would want to escapes me, so I will be forced to assume that it was not of his own will that such an affection formed.
But still, I cannot stop the sorrow from touching my core. I wish my power, my bond were strong enough to ever come that of that girl and senpai. She is indeed a formidable opponent. She would not be worth being in contact with if she did not match me in a few ways.
I only wish that I could have senpai to myself, without having to fight that girl, but that is impossible.
Unless…it is a common theme in manga, is it not? It is odd, and unorthodox, but still, perhaps it is worth a try.
Perhaps I may yet intertwine my fate with his and bond as that girl did. The only cost to me would be dealing with that girl more often than ever.
However, I think…if it is that girl, I can bear the hardship. There are worse people to be bound to, I'm sure.
I will have to investigate this…"Harem"…concept a bit further.

Yeah, yeah, I know. I SHOULD be writing on "My life CAN'T be this weird!" but I don't have the motivation. And, I'm feeling like fluff, and it's not working with the current chapter of that story. So, I made a oneshot/twoshot/short story collection! Yay Me!
I'll do Saori, Kirino, and Kyousuke later, k?
Sorry for the wrong update!
And sorry it's short.
