Frankly, My Dear, This is Absurd
Nabiki gives Kasumi the best gift a girl can get.
By: Rosethorn Li
When Kasumi came home from visiting Tofu-sensei one afternoon, Nabiki was waiting for her at the gate. Smiling, not smirking. How rare. "Hey sis, I got you something."
Oh my. She hiked her purse higher onto her shoulder. "Thank you, dear." She certainly hoped it wasn't another of those American romance novels. They were lovely reads, and a good way to practice her English, but she was still in the middle of the last one. Which she did hope to finish sometime soon; Reginald-san was rushing off to save his damsel, and she just had to know how it was to end.
Nabiki gestured towards the house. "Come on."
Obliging her, Kasumi followed. Into the house, up the stairs (changing shoes, of course), and to the door of her very room. "Close your eyes, Kasumi~" a light, teasing voice, and once again she did as she was told. Her younger sister wouldn't tease without more warning; and she was too excited to be playing a trick.
Taking her hand, Nabiki led Kasumi into the room and to her desk, A surprise awaited there.
"Now open them." The younger girl smirked.
Kasumi looked and saw a box on her desk, and one on the floor. A mirror? "It's lovely."
A frown. "...it's a computer."
Oh. She'd heard of those. "Thank you very much, Nabiki-chan."
"You'll like it, sis. Give it a try." She was forced to sit in the chair without much trouble and discover the wonders of the internet. Alone, of course; her sister had better things to do.
And that is how Kasumi discovered the joys of fanfiction.
