A/N: What's this, another multi-chapter story? I really am insane. This was something only two sleep-deprived teenage fangirls could think of. No, really, I think it was about 2 am when the idea came to mind and we were on the phone. Anyways, this fic is a companion to Shadownia 'Fried rice' Clow's 106 Osaka Apartment A, as my character's side. God, I've got so much stuff I need to finish that this is like suicide. So here we go, Kin's side to the total crack-fic that we came up with.
Warnings: Pure crack and possible adult themes. Sorry, I'm still not up to writing that stuff. Rating may go up though if I get the guts to do it.
Pairing: Well, let's leave that to you guys to find out.
106 Osaka Apartment B
Chapter 1
The ride was smooth, not a bump in the road, which she found odd for such an area. Wasn't the country supposed to have unpaved and bumpy roads? Not that she cared, it was rare that she left the old house before. Other than school, home, and the occasional hardware store, life was smooth, like the road. Nothing but smooth... and boring.
Mitsusada Kinta sighed, pressing her cheek against the car door, eyes shut. The move wasn't really what had her down, it was the thought of transferring schools. It wasn't leaving her friends behind either, no, she hadn't had many friends back in Shinjuku anyways. Not that she needed them. All she felt she needed was a workshop, wood, and a bear. That was all, that was it.
The car stopped suddenly, a finger jabbing her side. Kinta jumped, turning to glare at her brother.
"Sapph," He said, using the nickname his friends had given her. "We're here."
Already? She hadn't even noticed them drive into the city. Had she been asleep that long? she quickly turned to look out the window, only for her expression to darken.
"Define 'here'. " She said slowly, meeting her brother's eyes. Mitsusada Kenji beamed down at her, so much she though she might go blind. "I thought we were going to the new apartment."
"We were," He sighed, giving up on the smiles. He knew she saw through them easily, much like his friends. "But I got a call from the moving van. They won't be there for another hour and a half because of traffic, so I thought we should check out our new schools." He waved a hand to the window, motioning to the large building.
The school loomed down on her threateningly, as if taunting her. Due to such a late transfer, she was required to repeat her 5th year again once school started in the spring, which was at least a month and a half away. Until then, she'd be reading through materials supplied by the school in order to brush up on what she'd miss. Despite being a year older, she didn't find the arrangement unnatural. She'd missed enough having to help move, so it was only natural they'd want her to catch up. No, it was the thought of being in a class with kids younger and louder(not that she was loud anyways) that made her dread the coming school year.
"... We sure picked a time to move." She heard Kenji say from his spot in the driver's seat. "To think, today's Christmas and we can't even celebrate at home."
"Not that there's anything to celebrate regardless, Ken-nii." Kin stated. "It's just you and me."
"Gai and Yuri, too." He huffed, giving her a look. Yes, the two who'd given her the nickname 'Sapph' due to her dark blue eyes that matched her brother's lighter ones. She fingered her dark blond hair, silently cursing their family genes. People were going to stare, and she was going to have to deal with it. "Let's go check out the new schools. I think classes are just starting, so there shouldn't be that many people around."
The two stepped out of the car which, to Kinta's surprise, was parked near the entrance. Keni reached into his bag, pulling out a bright red apple.
"Here, something to snack on while looking around." He grinned, watching as his sister took the fruit, a silent 'thank you' passing through her lips. She put it into the large front pocket - hopefully she wouldn't trip or bump into anyone - of her dark blue hoodie. He ruffled her hair, not really minding the death glare he was receiving. "I'm going to check out the university, so meet me back here in about an hour." With that, she watched as he took off towards the large red building next to her school.
Turning back towards her own hellhole, Kinta sighed, staring at the building with dead eyes. Another car pulled over somewhere to her left, and she heard the sounds of a a father bidding his daughter goodbye. She felt eyes on her, but she didn't bother turning to look in the person's direction. If she didn't acknowledge anyone, they'd leave her alone. Just like before.
Sighing, she stuffed her hands into her pockets, feeling the smooth surface of the red apple.
Always smooth.

"... What is this... thing."
It wasn't exactly a question, more of a statement perhaps. The door to their new apartment - which was quite oddly shaped in her opinion - was covered from top to bottom in christmas lights, glitter, stars, tree ornaments and possibly the ugliest wreath Kinta had ever seen. The Gloomy Bear and Gundam, however, were much appreciated.
Kenji seemed to be thinking the same thing as he stared at their brightly lit door.
"Well... I'm sure if we leave it someone will be here to take it back later." He said slowly, shifting the box in his arms. Kinta inserted the key into the lock, opening the door and making way for her brother to walk in. The lights flickered on and both were greeted with a spacious living area, connected to a moderately sized kitchen. A hallway some ways to the side showed where their rooms and the bathroom would probably be.
"It's nice, I guess." Kinta huffed. Despite the weird shape of the building itself, the actual apartment seemed to be in good condition. Kenji smiled slightly, setting down the box on the counter.
"Now," He said, leaning on the counter. "Let's unload, okay?"

A/N: So in short explanation: we were playing that whole 'who would you want as a big brother' type of this, then this monstrosity happened. I feel like I should upload something like a chart once we get further into the story to show where the characters live and add relationships, but that won't be for a long time. I would suggest going to Shadownia's profile and checking out Apartment A to get both sides of the story. And until our next update, here's a little omake that I don't think I'll be able to fit in anywhere, and since I am skipping the whole unloading scene.
Omake #1:
Kinta let out a puff of air, finally having unloaded the last of her things. Everything she needed was there. Her worktable, her turtle, her bears...
She stood up, walking out of her room and up to the door directly in front of hers. She knocked once.
"Keni-nii, I'm done." She called, turning the doorknob. "Are yo-"
She froze, stopping mid-sentance at the sight. They were everywhere. Gundams decorated every shelf, every display case, every empty space that was no longer empty had some sort of robot character on it. She felt something inside her die, now she knew where her own unhealthy obsession with bears came from.
Kenji looked up from his box - hopefully the last - and grinned.
"Told you they'd all fit!"
Kinta stayed silent for a moment longer before sighing.
"I didn't see anything."
Afterword: GAWD THE AMOUNT OF TIMES I HAD TO EDIT THIS I'm not even gonna go there.
