Chapter One - Part One
Miku instantly woke up to lovely fragrance of leeks, nice yummy morning-fresh-cooked leeks.
"HEY!! Time to WAKE UP! We have leeks! They're HOT!" Shouted her older brother in a distance, Mikuo.
"L-leeks?! For Breakfast?! YES!!!"
Miku piped up cheerfully, she and her big brother do indeed love leeks.
Especially in the morning.
Though most of the time, her big brother usually prepare their leek breakfast.
Before rushing her way downstairs, Miku quickly brushed and styled her long teal-aqua hair into her normal everyday high-pigtails, and then lastly, she got dressed up in her school uniform, and quickly put on her shoes.
"Are you hungry or not?" Mikuo questioned.
"Hurry up Miku!" shouted Mikuo irritated, with a bit of impatience in his tone. "The longer you take, the sooner the leeks get cold!" He shouted up the stairs.
Miku hearing this was filled with anticipation, and not wanting to miss her breakfast with her brother.
"I'M COMING RIGHT NOW!" Miku shouted back as she anxiously runs down the stairs to meet her impatient brother.
As Miku made it down the last step, she panted quietly for a while.
"I'm…*huff* here..!" she finished as she threw her fist up in accomplishment, hoping that her big brother would notice.
Mikuo's aqua-teal hair shimmered under the morning light.
He was already in his school uniform, his long black sleeves were rolled up, and around his waist he was a frilly apron with a leek design imprinted on it.
He had his muscular arms crossed over his chest, while holding a leek in his right hand.
He shook his head with disappointment towards his little sister.
As he continued to stand in front of his little sister with a blank expression from his teal eyes, he sighed.
"Well, Miku...You may be here now, but you didn't make it on time unfortunately.." Mikuo spoke grimly.
Miku piped up, her aqua-teal eyes filled up with shock.
She regained all her energy back so suddenly, "What?! I didn't...?!" she stammered aloud, feeling very sad of what her brother just said.
Her face was filled with much dismay.
"Yup, and, you left me here alone to eat all of the leaks by myself..." Mikuo answered his little sister with fake sorrowful voice.
As held his leek too his heart, and wept sadly, this made Miku even feel even more guilty. Even though Mikuo was only toying with her.
"I'm sorry Mikuo, I'm sorry that I didn't wake up early enough..." Miku responded with a tender tone, filled with regret and backed up with guilt.
As Miku glanced down her sad face in shame, Mikuo began to suddenly form a huge smile across his face.
"Ha! Ha! Just kidding..! I didn't eat all the leeks silly..!" Mikuo bursted aloud.
He was poking his sister's face with a leek tauntingly. Snickering to himself very amused...
"HEY! Stop that!!" Miku shouted aloud, reacting hurtfully to the poking the leek, poking her face.
"I was only trying to help you from always waking up late sis. you have a hard time being prepared on your own ya know.." Mikuo explained to Miku sincerely.
Miku's expression became both relieved, but quite upset by this.
"Ok, but YOU didn't have to be so mean about it and trick me like that!" She complained, as her tone instantly changed to sounding slightly angered. Her big teal-aqua eyes looked even more hurt than before. "Baka Onii-Chan..."
Mikuo then softly patted Miku's head with a leek, "There, there, my little sister..." He cooed.
"Being pouty is not good for your health." Mikuo said playfully.
"Shaddup leek-face!" Miku shouted aloud while baka-brother, Mikuo laughed at her fiesty temper.
He was nearly rolling in tears with his sister's one thousand harmless punches.
She doesn't typically name-call anyone but her brother. Mainly because no one can beat Mikuo at annoying his poor sister.
Miku squinted annoyed at her big brother by him patting her head with the same leek that he had previously poked her face earlier.
"WOULD YOU STOP THAT..?!" Miku roared wildly at Mikuo.
"Nope." Mikuo responded as walked a safe distance from his raging little sister.
When he stopped patting Miku's head, he then pointed his leek to the direction of the dining table.
"Breakfast is FINALLY served at last!" Mikuo piped up loudly, as sounded as if he were a TV announcer giving away a fancy car to a lucky winner.
Instead, it was Miku winning the grand prize of her brother's home-cooked, morning-leek-breakfast.
It was hot and ready!
Miku then cheered loudly, her teal eyes sparkling joyfully, "Yay! Food! Leeeeeks!!"
"Thank you for the food big brother!" Miku shouted as she quickly ran towards the table.
'Hmph, well now she's not at mad at me anymore huh?' Mikuo joked casually to himself as he saw Miku excitingly ready to eat the Leek-breakfast she long awaited for.
As she sat down she couldn't help, but start joyfully humming while eating her leek soup with toast.
"Miku! You're not gonna eat without me are YOU?! I'm hungry too!" Mikuo shouted, as he too, made his way to the table to eat.
Mikuo and Miku had lived on their own, but under their aunt's and uncle's apartment complex for free without having to worry about any bills.
The apartment complex was named after their family name, called: The Hatsune Complex.
Even though they lived under their aunt and uncle's care, Mikuo was more like her little sister's sole parental guardian, due to how busy their aunt and uncle are with their other business corporations.
Their ant and uncle have been successfully running The Hatsune Complex for five generations. That's how prosperous in business their family tends to be, and hasn't stopped succeeding ever since then.
Beyond that, Mikuo had always been there for Miku. Despite their situation, he didn't seem to mind carrying the big load of responsibilities as Miku's older brother and guardian.
Though now, this year...
Miku had just turned 18 in October, while Mikuo is already 18, but turning 19 by this next year in June.
As the Hatsune siblings finished up their leek-breakfast, Mikuo and Miku left their apartment, and headed straight to their high school.
"Miku are sure you got your homework for biology class finished? Completely finished..?" Mikuo asked, out of concern of how imparitive Miku could be sometimes.
"Yeah! It's right in my homework binder! I'm all ready for today big brother!" answered back Miku, trying to assure of her big brother's concern in a genuine cheerful tone.
Mikuo sighed loudly in relief as he walked a little behind her sister. Miku was of course was skipping happily, almost skipping too far ahead of her big brother.
No matter how far Miku skipped ahead, Mikuo wasn't too far behind. He made sure his little sister wouldn't somehow magically trip out of nowhere especially over bananas..
"Miku, watch out for that banana there!" Mikuo shouted, he was used to this shanagance from his prankster friend who'd always tries to pull of the cheesy prank towards Miku for good laughs. Knowing it'd annoy the crap out of Mikuo almost every morning...
Miku blindly didn't listen as usual, humming aloud a sweet melody.
"YO, MIKU! A BANANA! YOU'RE GONNA TRIP.! I'M NOT TRYING TO BE FUNNY, I REALLY MEAN IT!" Mikuo shouted at Miku again trying to get her attention.
Miku finally listened, quickly glancing back.
"Huh? There's no banna here..." She spoke, before noticing what's on the ground in front of her, "Wait, What?!" Instantly, Miku was about to trip.
Before she did, her brother dashed up from behind, and caught Miku holding her by her arms, lifting her from the ground above the cleverly placed banana.
Mikuo luckily made it there on time to rescue his little sister from another painful fall...
"There really was a banana..." Miku said in sudden shock as she looked down.
"Yeah, and, I think you should consider walking from here on out sis. For your sake, and the banana's sake as well."
Mikuo calmly as kicked the banana out their path.
Miku glared around at the banana, and sticked out her tongue, "Nehh...!!! Stupid banana! You almost made me trip!" Miku shouted angrily at the criminalizing banana. before storming off.
"This must be from Len..That banana-head was trying prank you again. I know he's not trying to mean, but this is just annoying..." Mikuo thought aloud with Miku after having reading the note from the banana.
He flipped the note, stating:
"You better watch out leek-face, banana-senpai tripped you~!"
Mikuo instantly saw blond-spiky-haired Len loudly running away from the bushes.
"Yo, Len! Do that again and I'll make my leek here do something far worse than whatever your banana could ever do!" He smirked mischievously, "I sure hope you remembered the last time you tried triping me up..."
Mikuo couldn't help but to remember that one time he made Len get his just-deserves that one time at a pool party they during summer break.
Len turned around wickedly smiling his good ol' friend.
"HA! I like to see you try Leek-Boy! I got more banana peels for YOU to slip on!"
Len's laughter could be heard from afar as he ran towards school.
Mikuo chuckled, and shrugged his shoulders at Len, he then crumble up the note and old-rotten banana peel into a nearby trash can behind him.
Once the Hatsune siblings made it to school, they soon went their separate ways.
As he went to the library to print out his study guide for his exam next week...
He wanted Miku to greet Haku for him when she sees her.
Miku giggled and obliged.
She wanted to poke at him for not saying "Hi" to Haku himself.
Nonetheless, Miku was ready to face school today...Not knowing what else could happen!
