Okay, so I started that story where Kyousuke walks in on Kirino doing….that, then inspiration deserted me. It may be updated slower, if at all, cause my muse deserted me like a spoiled little brat.
However, I decided that muse be dammed, I was gonna write a fic.
So I went to the God of Muses, the Bottomless Fountain of plots, the Emperor of unwritten ideas, The King of that which is senseless, random and entertaining!….In short, I went to my older brother, Koji.
And I made him watch the first 12 eps of the series. With me. It's far more entertaining when you have someone to watch it with you. Lol.
And after it was done, he stood up, closed his eyes and played the opening theme 3 times, then laughed.
Then he asked me what kind of fic I wanted to write, and if I wanted to bar the supernatural from it. I told him I didn't mind. He asked the pairing. I said KirinoxKyousuke, with maybe a little harem on the side, if possible.
And he smirked and played the opening theme again, and recommended this.

A smile alit a handsome face as he ripped open the fabric of his world into another. There was fun to be had, even as he ran. There is no cowardice in retreating from an un-winnable battle; however regrouping to retaliate…and Humans were such amusing targets, with such interesting lives…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~My sister CAN'T be this cute!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGG!
Kyousuke groaned, turning over as he attempted to ignore the obnoxious ringing clock. Idly, he pondered the consequences of throwing it out the window.
"Onii-chan. Time to get up." There was light, oh dear lord, there was golden rays of light intruding into his room. Dammit, time, can't you stop and let me sleep a little longer?
"Onii-chan, get up or you'll be late and won't get breakfast!" The cute voice insisted. A hand began to shake him persistently, before he gave up and rose to a sitting position. Looking over, he saw a familiar cute black haired girl. "You better hurry, Onii-chan. Breakfast is getting cold."
Instead, Kyousuke flopped back. "Another dream, huh."
"Onii-chan?" The girl asked quizzically.
"You and I both know you're a figment of my imagination, and any moment I'll wake up to my alarm and my real sister, Kirino."
The girl giggled. "Silly Onii-chan. Isn't Kirino that girl who hates you at school? The Otaku girl?"
Kyousuke blinked. "Otaku girl at school?"
"Yeah, the strawberry blond girl who never talks to you." His "sister" gasped, turning red and covering her mouth. "Don't tell me you like her!" She looked close to tears as she looked at him imploringly.
"Wh-what? Who told you such a ridiculous thing?" Kyousuke demanded, flushing red and waving his hands. "Wait, why am I freaking out? This is just a dream. None of this is real."
"Onii-chan is mean…this is too real." She began to pout cutely, staring at him.
"If it's real, then what's your name?" He asked pointedly.
She blushed, looking away for some reason. "Riko…but you call me other things when we're alone, sometimes."
Kyousuke blinked, surprised that she had a name. "Like..?"
Riko squeaked and hid her face. "Don't make me say it, Onii-chan…it's embarrassing. But you need to get up before you're late for school." She insisted, red faced.
"Right, right, I'm up." Kyousuke said, getting up reluctantly.
"W-wait!" Kyousuke paused as Riko blushed, moving close to his face. He opened his mouth to ask what she was doing before she closed the gap between their lips, kissing him lightly. "Good morning, onii-chan." She ran from the room, blushing with a smile on her face as Kyousuke sat in shock.
"What the HELL?"
It hadn't taken him long to get dressed, but he wasted several minutes trying to figure out what just happened. "She kissed me! What kind of messed up dream is this?" He wondered as he headed down stairs to the kitchen.
"Good Morning, Kyousuke. I hear from Rika that you're having another one of your off mornings again."
Kyousuke felt his eyebrow twitch at his mother. "Yes, I guess you might say that…" He managed to say.
"You'd better hurry, or you'll be late for school." Kyousuke sighed, eating quickly.
How troublesome…waking up and not waking up. It's odd for my dreams to last this long. He thought.
"Kyou-chan!" A plain looking girl was waving at him. Good old Manami… "You're almost late, you know. Silly Kyou-chan. Doesn't Riko normally wake you up?"
"Eh? Oh…Riko…Yeah. She did."
"Jeez, Kyou-chan…have another off day?" Manami smiled.
"Why do people keep saying that?"
"I'm one of Riko's friends, remember? She was very upset that one time you started saying things like she was a fake and that your sister couldn't be that cute. She was very worried when you passed out."
"I…see?" Kyousuke mumbled.
"OIIII! Kyousuke!" What now? Kyousuke turned to see a boy about his age running toward them with messy black hair. "Having issues this morning, Kyousuke?"
Kyousuke looked at the brown eyed boy. "…Who are you?" The boy faceplanted.
"What do you mean who am I? I'm your best friend, KOJI! Dammit, don't play around like that!"
Kyousuke blinked. "I don't know any Koji. Sorry. Come on, Manami." Koji began to cry theatrically.
"How could you be so mean, Kyousuke! Forgetting your friends and cute little sister…"
"Not talking about me are you, Koji-kun? Baka Nii-san." They were joined by a girl with shoulder length black hair, who unceremoniously silenced Koji's fake tears by punching him in the head. "Sorry about Koji-kun's theatrics, Kyousuke-kun. He can get carried away at times with his dramatic acts." She seemed to have a bit of a sweatdrop as she smiled apologetically.
"…And you are..?" The girl shook her head.
"Kyoko. Jeez, you never remember me. Guess you're having another off day. Kyoko, Kyoko Ryuuzaki. And the sobbing idiot there is my brother, Koji. Well, we need to get to class, so see you around lunch!" She waved, before grabbing her brother by the collar and dragging him away.
"Why does everyone keep saying I'm having an off day?" Kyousuke wondered out loud as they headed to class. Oddly, everyone seemed to part to make him a path, smiling at him. "Okay, this is seriously getting to be weird. Why is everyone acting like this?"
"Silly Kyou-chan…it's because everyone here wants you to like them. One of the side effects from being the school star." Manami stated, as if it were totally obvious.
"School….star?"
"Yeah, the track team loves you, and you are one of the smartest kids here. I'd fail my classes if not for your tutoring." Manami stopped, raising a hand to feel his forehead. "You don't feel warm…" Suddenly she blushed, pulling her hand away. "Ma-maybe you should skip your after school club today and go home and rest?"
School was…odd. Kyousuke noticed that everyone seemed to have something nice to say about him, idolized him, or outright stalked him. He was asked way more questions in class, and surprisingly, he hardly had to think about it before answering. By the time lunch came around, he felt like he had entered the twilight zone.
"U-ummm…Kyousuke-san…" Scratch that, I HAVE entered the twilight zone.
"A-Ayase?" The girl in question blushed, fidgeting nervously.
"U-um…I was wondering if I could eat lunch with you and your friends…"
What? "Uh…I guess?" What is going on? Kyousuke watched as her face lit up happily upon hearing his answer. Why is Ayase asking to eat with me?
He had no way of knowing that inwardly, Ayase was jumping for joy. She had finally worked up enough courage to ask him if he minded her joining his group of friends, and he had said yes!
The day was made more surreal when he heard a voice approaching their chosen spot for lunch. "Onii-channnn!"
"Riko?"
"Onii-chan, you forgot your bento when you left this morning!" Riko said, holding out a plain brown box. "Silly Onii-chan…that's why you should get up when I try to wake you…" Riko blushed.
"What a nice little sister you are, Riko-chan." Koji said as he and Kyoko seemed to magically appear in their midst. "Kirino could learn a few lessons from you. Maybe she'd have more friends."
"Koji, don't be insensitive. Kirino is just a bit rough around the edges." Kyoko scolded.
"Kirino?" Kyousuke queried, accepting the bento from his blushing sist-no, that wasn't right. This was a dream, right?
"Yeah. You know, the Tsundere Otaku, Kirino? The one with the giant crush on you? You know, that Kirino?" Koji smirked. "She's cute, but she's a bit demanding. Her Otaku-ness isn't the problem. Her giant ego, however…she may be a model, but that doesn't make her better than everyone else."
"G-giant crush?" Kyousuke stammered. Riko looked vaguely disturbed, and more than a little jealous.
"But Kirino always badmouths Onii-chan! And she says she hates him, anyway."
Ayase paused, having been quietly been struggling with herself. She and Kirino were co-workers, and she knew Kirino didn't hate Kyousuke as much as she pretended, but…what if Kyousuke liked Kirino? She'd accept the competition from Riko, being her friend, but she wasn't sure if she'd be able to handle going against Kirino as well. She had considered being friends with Kirino, but after she had learned she was an otaku, she had kept her distance, and Kirino had been cold to her ever since.
"She doesn't hate you as much as you may think, Kyou-chan. I'm sure she just doesn't know how to deal with her crush." Manami said helpfully.
"Speak of the devil and he shall appear. There's Kirino now. Don't look, now, but she's looking at you, Kyousuke. Her and that goth girl."
"Kuroneko." Kyousuke corrected without thinking.
"Eh? How'd you know her preferred name?" Ayase wondered out loud.
Kyousuke sighed, deciding the to go along with this odd event. "I'm having an off day?" He stated hesitantly, wondering if it was a legit excuse.
"I…see?" Ayase seemed satisfied as everyone else nodded in understanding.
Out of the corner of his eye, Kyousuke could see Kirino glaring at him with judgmental eyes. Kuroneko was looking at him too, but he couldn't make out her expression. Kyousuke decided it was best not to ponder what was going through their minds.
The rest of school seemed to follow that vein. Kyousuke was surprised to find that like his intelligence, his physical ability had increased. He had dominated in the sports club, despite Manami saying earlier that he should skip it. What's going on? One thing he noted was if this was a dream, it was lasting FAR too long, and was WAY too realistic.
"I'm home." Kyousuke called into the house as he slipped off his shoes. He wasn't expecting an answer, to be honest. He never got one before, so why would he now?
"Welcome home, Onii-chan!" said the colored blur that impacted his stomach, nearly knocking him over. "How was the athletics club?"
"Ri-Riko?" Kyousuke said, blinking as he looked down at the girl firmly attached to his body by way of her arms encircling his waist. "Y-yeah, track went fine."
Riko smiled up at him. "That's good. Onii-chan is the best, so of course it went well. Mom and Dad went out for a bit, so I cooked us something to eat." Riko blushed softly as she looked up at him.
"Oh, thanks. And thanks for bringing me my lunch." Kyousuke said, remembering that he hadn't thanked her yet.
Riko's face brightened. "Did you like it? I made it myself." She queried, looking up at him.
"It was good." Kyousuke answered. If only reality was like this…But I'm stuck with Kirino, so I may as well enjoy this while I'm dreaming.
Riko smiled radiantly, the tinge of red never leaving her cheeks as she began to pull Kyousuke to the table where a dinner was set. "It looks delicious. And you made this all by yourself?" Kyousuke asked as he sat down.
Riko began to fidget shyly. "I made it special for Onii-chan…so please tell me what you think!" She finished her statement slightly rushed, bowing her head as she blushed bashfully.
Kyousuke almost dropped his chopsticks as he stared. …No WAY can my little sister be this cute! Oh wait…this isn't real. Damn. My little sister ISN'T this cute…most of the time. Kyousuke couldn't help but watch her as she watched apprehensively as he take a bite. Flavor seemed to explode in his mouth, delighting his taste buds. "Thi-this is incredible!" He said as he began to eat a bit faster. Riko's face lit up happily.
"Really? I'm so glad…I put all my love for Onii-chan into making it!" Riko was beaming as she watched her beloved Onii-chan eating her cooking.
Kyousuke ignored the warning lights flashing in his head when he heard that, opting instead to devour the food she had made for him. Surely she means that in a familial way, right? He tried to ignore the laughing voice in his head, which was saying he was asking way too much. He tried to ignore the way Riko's eyes never left him as they ate, he really did.
"H-hey…Onii-chan…are you felling better than you were this morning?" Riko asked as they finished eating, suddenly unable to look at him.
"I'm feeling better, yes." He smiled.
"Then, will onii-chan maybe…watch something with me?" She seemed to stumble over her words, as if she were fighting to make them leave her mouth.
"Sure, why not? What are we watching?" Kyousuke asked. What's the worst that could happen?
Ten minutes later, he found out. He tried to hide his twitching eyebrow as Riko cuddled up next to him, pressing her chest against his arm, looking ever so innocent as an anime opening theme song played. No way. Even in my DREAMS I can't get away from this anime stuff! This can't get any worse.
It got worse. He was proud of his self restraint, sure that most other people would run away screaming about now, or at least begin sobbing.
"He's our HONEY BOY, our SHY BOY and we'll split our love for him evenly!"
Eye twitch.
"Always under the same roof!"
No. No way. This has to be a joke.
"You've gotten taller, haven't you?
That's normal, I'm happy for you (as your sister)
I want to depend on you
You can't cheat to get ahead!"
Why? Why? Even in my DREAMS?
"I love my brother (really love) so very much (and that's fine)
I want his smile to be mine alone"
Kyousuke wasn't sure how he lasted, and when he looked at Riko, he could see her fierce blush as she tightened her grip on his arm. Somehow, he made it through 5 episodes before they heard the a car door. The TV was off and the DVD hidden in a matter of seconds, leaving him blinking.
Their parents walked in, their Mom chatting about something or other while their father listened impassively.
"Welcome back, Mom, Dad. I made dinner for Onii-chan and I, and there are leftovers if you want them." Kyousuke noted that their was no evidence that they'd almost been caught watching anime on her face, and marveled at her acting ability.
"How sweet of you, Riko." Their mom smiled knowingly at her, and Riko blushed, looking away. "It's late though, you two, and you have school tomorrow. You should go to bed so we don't have a repeat of this morning, right, Kyousuke?"
Kyousuke resisted the urge to facepalm. I'm being lectured on sleeping by my mom…while I'm asleep. What the hell.
Nonetheless, They both headed upstairs. But someone wasn't done screwing with Kyousuke. No, as he opened the door to his room, he felt a tug on his shirt. Turning around to look at Riko, he was surprised to seen the suddenly serious face she was wearing.
"Onii-chan…"
Just my luck… "Yes?"
"…Onii-chan…Onii-chan is MINE! No one else can have you, Onii-chan…so don't leave me…" Riko commanded, ending in a softer note as kissed his cheek, going to her room and closing the door.
"What the…" Was all Kyousuke could say as he entered his room. "Maybe I really am turning into a siscon…even my dreams have undertones of it." He murmured as he lay on his bed and closed his eyes. Shortly afterward, he had fallen asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~`
SLAP!
"Ow!" Kyousuke woke abruptly. A familiar sight sat upon him, looking furious. "Life counseling again? Or are you gonna make me play another eroge?"
"That PROVES it! You know something! And Life Counseling? From YOU? Don't make me laugh. And as if I'd taint my cute little sister eroge by playing one with you." Kirino spat disdainfully. "What did you do to us?"
"What are you talking about, Kirino?" Kyousuke blinked, his voice getting louder. Kirino clapped a hand over his mouth.
"SHHHH! You'll wake Riko up!"
"What? But Riko is…oh. I'm still dreaming."
This only served to piss Kirino off more. "You think this is funny? WHAT. DID. YOU. DO? Why do I have memories that don't belong to me in my head? What, your brocon sister Riko isn't enough for you? You want my friends and I too? Disgusting pervert. Kuroneko is onto you. She'll find out what kind of black perverted magic your using and undo it. I'm giving you a chance to confess. What did you do to us?"
"I don't know what you're talking about, Kirino!"
"O-Onii-chan…Why? Why is she here at this time of night?" They both turned to see a teary-eye Riko at the door, staring brokenheartedly at Kyousuke.
"Ri-Riko?" Kyousuke looked from Kirino to Riko, before noting that Kirino was straddling him like she normally did. Unfortunately, Kirino noticed as well. She jumped back, blushing heavily.
"Yo-You PERVERT! What did you do to me? Why was I like that?"
"Hey, I woke up with you like that! I had nothing to do with it!" Their fight was interrupted when Kirino's phone rang, which she promptly answered. After a few moments, she hung up and began to drag Kyousuke out of bed. "You're coming with me. The four of us are going to have a talk."
A glare from Kirino shut Kyousuke up fairly quickly. Kirino was PISSED. He followed her hesitantly, feeling a sense of imminent DOOM.
Riko simply followed, afraid of what would happen to Kyousuke if she didn't. Once they were safely outside, Kirino let go. Looking up, he saw that Kuroneko had come with Kirino. Rubbing his neck, he asked the question that had started bugging him when they had opened the door. "How did you get inside anyway? The door was locked."
Kirino flushed crimson. "Your perverted spell told me where the spare key was. You need to find a better place to hide it."
"He's been touched by the supernatural, but WHAT has touched him, I don't know." Kyousuke blinked, turning to face Kuroneko.
"Can someone explain to me WHAT this is about?" He finally said.
"That is what we want to ask you, Kyousuke-k-" She stopped when Kirino shot her a death glare. "We don't know, and Kirino believes you do."
"Why me? I'm just as lost as all of you. I woke up this morning and everything was different."
It was now that Riko decided to speak up. "Don't blame Onii-chan for something he didn't do!" She said angrily.
"Regardless, it seems that you are the common link. We woke up this morning with memories that don't belong to us, yet do belong to us, and we want to know why. I remember you as my upperclassmen, which is not odd. But I also remember you as…" Kuroneko hesitated. "As 'Nii-san' ..and as Kirino's older brother. I also note that in those memories, Riko doesn't exist, and you help Kirino hide her anime and eroge from your parents."
"Mine are the same. Riko doesn't exist, and you help me hide it from my parents. And I KNOW you know something. I knew even before you mentioned life counseling. Admit it. What did you do to us, pervert?"
"But I do exist!" Riko protested, almost in tears. "Tell them, onii-chan!"
"I…don't know what you're talking about. I woke up this morning thinking this was all a dream, and thinking what you're remembering was reality. This is giving me a headache…which is reality?" Kyousuke wondered. It was giving him a headache.
"Which is real? I know the answer to that." A familiar boy walked to them with an unsettling grin on his face.
"K…Kenji?" Kyousuke asked, trying to remember his name.
"Close. Koji. I'm surprised you remember me, actually. I'm so flattered, considering you're trying to skip out on our little contract, hmm, Kyousuke?" The grin grew wider, but more malevolent. Kyousuke was surprised when Kuroneko hid behind him, Kirino seeming to shrink in on herself as a aura of negativity seemed to eminate from the boy. Riko whimpered, latching onto Kyousuke's arm.
"I don't like when some uppity human tries to deny me my right. I did as you asked, and rewrote your reality to your liking, just as we agreed. You were unhappy with Kirino as your sister, weren't you? Always bossing you around, belittling you, insulting you…you loved her dearly, but she didn't care, did she? She didn't ever seem to care that you bent over backwards to please her. And so when I offered to make a contract with you and rewrite your reality to your liking, you took it. And you tried to escape it, didn't you? Did you like Riko? I created her myself, to fit your wishes."
"C-created..?" Riko began to tear up. "No! Onii-chan, I'm real! I know I am! I'm not fake! You have to believe me!" She began to cry as she held onto Kyousuke for dear life. Kyousuke was torn. It made sense, if it was true. It sounded plausible, but as he looked at the weeping and pleading face of Riko, the little sister he'd known for only day, he could almost cry himself. She was clinging so desperately, begging him to believe she was real…unbidden, her smiling face as he ate her cooking entered his mind.
"I…I don't believe you. You can't…You CAN'T have created Riko! I refuse to believe that!" He smiled as he felt Riko's sobs slowing down as she looked up at him.
"Onii-chan…" she smiled through her tears.
"Enough of this sappiness." Koji snapped his fingers, and suddenly, Riko's eyes went blank. With the smile still on her tear stained face, she slumped, her grip slackening lifelessly. Kyousuke stared in horror as Riko fell to the ground in slow motion. He dived, catching her before her head hit the ground. Her body was still warm, but her eyes held no life.
"Yo-you killed her…You KILLED RIKO!" Kyousuke was beside himself. Just a second ago, she had been smiling at him in thanks for saying she existed, and he had snuffed her out, just like that. "Unforgivable…"
"She was happy to the end. The last words she heard from you were that you believed she existed." Koji said, his voice indifferent.
"You…what sort of monster have you brought among us, Kyousuke…" Kuroneko whispered.
"What do you mean who am I? I'm your best friend, KOJI! Dammit, don't play around like that!"
"I…I don't know." Kyousuke murmured. "I…don't remember." Why did I remember that now?
"Well…now that that is out of the way…I don't quite remember what my payment from you was supposed to be, but I think that your soul should be sufficient, or at least your life. Or maybe I should just take all of your souls?" Koji grinned. "Decisions, decisions…I will admit, your attempt to dodge payment was a good try."
"Well…this is…awkward." A voice said from behind them. Turning, Kyousuke saw a second black haired, brown eyed boy. "No, Awkward doesn't quite cut it, does it, Kyousuke?"
Kyousuke pushed Kirino and Kuroneko behind him, intending to use himself as a human shield if nothing else. They didn't complain.
The second Koji winced. "Ouch…Kyousuke, didn't I say I was your friend? That's hurtful…"
"Who are you?" The first Koji demanded. "What are you, and why does your aura match mine?"
"Actually, that's my line. Who are YOU, why do you have my aura, and I'll raise you 'what the fuck are you planning to do to my friend?'" The second Koji asked, slipping into a ready stance.
"I see…you're smart, for a human. You created a clone of me to protect yourself when I came to collect. Sadly, it won't work." The first Koji snarled.
"Actually, no, I'm pretty sure you're the clone. The true Koji would never ask for a life as payment. Besides, your aura is tainted."
"So, you claim I'm the clone? Prove it." The first Koji smirked, sure he was right.
His expression turned to shock as two white winds blossomed from the second Koji's back. "Point proved. Now I'd rather not have to deal with you right now, so stop existing and leave us alone."
The first Koji wasn't happy. He seemed to vanish and appear in front of the winged Koji, a powerful punch aimed at his face as black wings sprouted from his back. "I have them too. That bastard human did well to give you those wings."
Shock registered on both faces for different reasons as White Koji caught his fist and threw him back. "This is highly unfortunate…" With three quick strides, White Koji moved to Kyousuke, laying a hand on his shoulder. "REWRITE!"
The world exploded in white.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Line~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kyousuke opened his eyes slowly. "Am I dead..?"
"Not hardly. You're very much alive, but I think the shock of the rewrite knocked you out." White Koji was next to him. Kyousuke scrambled back, bumping into a warm body. Turning, he saw the bodies of Kirino, Kuroneko, and Riko laid out on a white floor. He was in a completely white room which was completely bare. "Who are you?"
"Koji. Koji Ryuuzaki. I'm your friend, just as I said earlier. As for who my evil clone is, I'm unsure."
"What was all that about? What's going on?" Kyousuke was allowed to be slightly hysterical, right? Right?
"Calm yourself. They're fine. Well, Kirino and Kuro are."
"…And Riko?" Please don't say she's dead, or isn't real….
"Don't worry, Riko DOES exist, just not in the way you're thinking. Observe…" Koji waved his hand, and Riko shattered into dust.
"R-Riko! What did you do to her?" Kyousuke demanded.
"SHH. Just watch." Kyousuke watched dumbly as the "dust" swirled around, before shooting to Kirino and getting absorbed into her chest. "Riko exists in Kirino. I'm powerful, but there are boundaries. I guess that was one of them. Riko is…a part of Kirino that she doesn't show, I suppose you could say."
"Riko…is a part of Kirino?" Kyousuke tried to wrap his head around that statement, and was failing miserably. Try as he might, the scowling and condescending face of Kirino simply REFUSED to match up with Riko's adoring and cute face.
Koji chuckled. "You're doing it wrong. Try this." Unbidden, another memory came to mind.
"Thank you, Aniki." N-No way my sister is this cute!
Kyousuke watched in shock as the two faces seemed to match up perfectly. "Wh-what the…"
"Riko is that "Too cute to be real" part of Kirino. She's the part that desperately wants you to understand how she feels, even if she doesn't understand herself." Koji said, grinning at Kyousuke. "Your mind wanted a cute sister that didn't seem to despise your existence, and cared about you. Your heart wanted to see that cute part of Kirino that you only saw a couple times. In the end, you rewrote her into two halves. Kirino, and Riko. One seemed to hate you, and one clearly adored you, and didn't mind showing herself to you."
"…Why can't my life be normal? Just one normal thing right now would put me at ease…" Kyousuke grumbled.
"Is normal what you want? Are you sure? Because all it takes is a simple Rewrite, and you can have that. I'll still be around if you decide you don't like it, but you can't try to pretend to be normal. There are rules, though."
Without even looking, Kyousuke pointed at Koji. "That. Explain that. Rewrite, rules, contracts…what is it that I stumbled into this time?"
"…I'm not too sure myself. I think you got a little trigger happy with the memory modifications. That's one of the rules I do remember, actually. When you Rewrite, you can't change the personalities directly, but you can change the past experiences to help. We had some sort of contract, where in return for something, I become your tool for Rewriting your reality. Anytime you come in contact with me, and say "Rewrite" with something you want to change in mind, our contract uses my power to Rewrite your reality. Want to be a genius? Rewrite. Want to be a superhero? Rewrite. Telekinesis? Rewrite. Harem? Rewrite. End of the world? Rewrite, though I'd advise against it. As long as you are in contact with me and still have the power of thought, then you are Kami of your reality. Well, aside from a few rules."
Kyousuke could only gape. "What kind of rules?"
Koji grinned. "I don't know them all. If I've ever needed to know them, I don't remember. The only one I KNOW is that you can't directly change someone's personality, nor can you force them into a decision." He smirked. "Well, you can use past events to…"convince" them to, but that's as good as it gets. So…as productive as sitting here is…how shall I Rewrite your reality today, Kyousuke?"
Kyousuke thought for a minute. This was all just too crazy to believe! Why couldn't my life be ordinary and boring..? "Say I believe all this…any reality I create will have you in it so I can rewrite, correct?"
Koji smirked. "Unless you specifically Overwrite and delete my existence, I have to follow you and be at your beck and call. Such is the nature of our contract. Even then, I won't cease to exist. It'll just end our contract. So don't worry. Your satisfaction is guaranteed, and if it isn't, then Rewrite, and we're off to try again." Koji smirked. "You're never going to be the same after this…hopefully it'll end with you happy, and me with whatever it was that I was supposed to ask of you. And don't worry, I'm pretty sure it was a minor thing. I'm in it for the laughs, really."
Koji smirked, laying a hand on Kyousuke's shoulder. "This is your story, so write it as you wish. Shall we be off?"
Kyousuke thought for a moment, looking back at the still bodies of Kirino and Kuroneko. After a moment of contemplation, he uttered the one word that started it all.
"Rewrite."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~A/N~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And that is more like it! Actually may be a bit longer than my normal fics. Koji really is good at what he does…
Actually, this allows for some interaction. If there is a specific scenario you want done, leave it on a review. You may be surprised. No Yaoi please, though.
And if you want to write your own spinoff of this fic, feel free. I won't mind if you change the name of the person/thing that lets Kyousuke use its power to rewrite his reality.
This is Kyoko, signing out for now~
