Chapter One: A Hard Start

The door slammed shut at the Okada residence as the younger brother of Saki Okada came storming in, his school bag covering his lap. Saki just happened to be walking down the stairs at the exact moment her brother entered and narrowed her eyes at the situation in front of her. He was bruised all over, his nose bleeding, and stooped over trying to hide his lap once again. If she wasn't feeling concerned for him, she might have laughed at the silly way he was trying to take off his shoes while still trying to keep his mid-section from view.

"What did they do to you now?"

Satoshi's glasses flew off his face as he turned his head quickly to her direction. He doubled over, trying to hide himself even more. "Don't look, nee-chan!"

Saki knew her brother was a big target at school for everyone to pick on, and not just by the bullies. Ever since he entered his first year he must of rubbed someone popular the wrong way and ever since had been bullied and beaten nonstop. They went through elaborate ways of throwing foul garbage and a variety of animal dung at him, to spiking his lunch with various spices and laxatives. It truly was a horrible existence. In her heart, Saki couldn't forgive them, but her mind knew why they picked on him so much. He was an overweight uber-geek.

"Come on upstairs and let me at least clean the blood off your face." Saki gave him a pitiful sigh.

"I can do it myself." Satoshi grumbled with some annoyance, but followed her orders never-the-less.

When they reached the bathroom, Saki had her brother sit on the bath-stool, as she started to clean his face. He kept his school bag on his lap, all the while complaining about how embarrassing it was to be in the bathroom with his sister. She ignored his comments as usual. After a while she was curious as to what he was hiding on his lap, and when he wasn't paying attention, she stoled his bag. She wished at once that she didn't do it. His pants were bulging high from a huge erection.

"Eew, what the hell!" Saki adverted her eyes, as Satoshi replaced the bookbag over himself.

"It's not what you think!" Satoshi fumed. "I'm not getting turned on by my sister!"

"No?" Saki teased slightly.

"That bastard Akira Takashima crushed one of his father's Erectile Disfunction pills into my juice. I had to hide it most of the day, but at gym class he and his idiot friends threw me into the girls bathroom. I got beat up by them, then their boyfriends, and now I'm suspended for 2 weeks."

Standing up, Saki offered her hand. "I'm done now, you should go to your room and… take care of that before Mama gets home."

Satoshi narrowed his eyes at his sister. "You don't think I haven't tried that already. The pill's effect on a normal… um… thing… is stronger. I can't get it to go away. It's really starting to hurt."

There was no other alternative. "We have to go to the clinic."

"No!" Satoshi looked mortified. "Are you kidding me? I have to go back out there with this thing sticking out? Plus Dr. Ogasawara will have to… No! We can't do that!"

"She's a doctor, Satoshi… it's nothing she hasn't dealt with before."

"I'd rather wait for it to go away." Satoshi murmured.

"You've had a boner since Lunch." Saki pointed out. "That can't be healthy. I even got home from school before you did, so it's been a long time. No excuses, come on before I pick you up and drag you."

Satoshi had to give in. "This isn't fair. I hate my life. I hate my school. I just want out!"

Saki could sympathize with him, and started to worry about the future. She was finishing up her final year at the same high school, and would soon be going to University in the next city. There would be no way for her to protect him anymore, and as much as those kids picked on him, she was afraid of what might happen. But she couldn't think about that, with the current crisis.

"Stop complaining and let's go."

Several hours later the siblings returned home, thankful with a de-boned Satoshi. He looked mortified, and the bruised up face and cracked glasses frames didn't help matters. After apologizing for not cooking dinner to their parents, they had to explain what happened. They took it with the same apathy they normally did. Such things were happening to their son all the time now that it almost was a numb subject for them. But this time around Saki wasn't feeling the same way, and she was sure that it had something to do with seeing her brother's erection now burned in her brain. She could never forgive those bullies for such thing.

"When I leave for University, I think Satoshi should come with me." She spoke in the middle of the conversation. She surprised herself as she had not planned to say this at all, but after she said it, she agreed with the idea whole heartedly.

"What do you mean, Saki-chan?" Papa asked.

"Well, we were planning on having me rent an apartment, right? With my Swimming Scholarship and a part-time job we could afford to live together."

"But what about school? Are you saying Satoshi should transfer to the nearest High School?" Mama asked.

"I am. He's got good enough grades, so it shouldn't be a problem. Maybe he just needs a fresh start, some place where no one knows him." Saki nodded, trying to ignore her stomach growling.

"They'll just pick on me anyway." Satoshi muttered angrily. "The kids at our current school started messing with me the first day I entered, and a lot of them didn't even know me from Middle School."

Saki bit her lip, not wanting to hurt her brothers feelings. "That's because you're a fat spaz."

"Oh thanks." Satoshi glared at her.

"Sorry, but it's true. And from this time forward I'm going to be your personal trainer."

Saki had always prided herself in keeping in shape, largely do to her being on the swim team. In order to be a top constant in the various events she had to go to, she had taken to being on a strict diet and exercise programs. She even studied in Papa's dojo for extra training. The result was that Saki and Satoshi looked miles apart.

"And it would be about time you learned more than just the basics, Son." Papa spoke firmly.

"I don't want to do all that."

"Tough." Saki stood up. "You have to take care of yourself if you expect people to take care of you. You have 2 weeks suspension, so everyday you're going be at Papa's dojo. And when I get home I'm going to train you until you drop."

Mama looked concerned. "We really shouldn't force him to do all this, dear."

"No, we let him get away with being lazy long enough. The result was I had to see my brother get a hard on." Saki pointed at Satoshi. "When I'm not studying up for University, I'm going to be his nightmare."

"I think Saki-chan is right, honey." Papa said, eager to teach his son Karate and Aikido. Saki knew he always wanted them to take more of an interest in his work. Because Mama was the owner of a popular department store in town, they had always counted on her for money. This meant she had more pull over decisions, and she was always soft hearted when it came to her children. "He's been getting beaten nearly every day, and he needs to learn to defend himself. To stop playing video games and be a man."

"You guys just want a pet project." Satoshi complained, obviously not liking the idea of having to work out nonstop. Saki did know that he was interested in leaving the town though.

"Like I want to take time out of my day to baby you around." Saki said. "It's for your own good and you have no choice."

That night everyone went to bed hungry. It was hot, so Saki forwent the usual pajamas she would wear on cooler evenings. Saki laid in her bed with a fan blasting at her, rubbing her stomach, furious that Akira Tamashima made her miss out having a meal. Satoshi was the one who cooked, and he was busy getting off in a Doctors office. Because this, that Akira was going to get her fist tomorrow at school. And she was resigned into torturing her brother with her work out methods. No mercy. It was payback for searing the image of her brother hard-on in her brain. The very though made her stomach grumble louder, but not of hunger.

"Damn it!" Saki rolled over in her bed, punching the pillow on her head violently. "Yuck."

The next room over was her brother's room, and she could hear he was still up playing on the computer. It annoyed her. She could tell that he was going to fight all her efforts to help him out. That's just who he was. He was always babied more than she was, just because he was younger. If he didn't want something, usually it didn't happen do to their mother's intervention. But she didn't care what Mama thought not. Her brother had become a joke, and his life would just get worse if something wasn't done.

The longer the noise from the computer game went on, the more it annoyed Saki. She couldn't take it anymore and stormed out of her room, ripping into Satoshi's room. "Go to bed! Papa's going to grind you to a pulp tomorrow, you need sleep."

"It's my last night of freedom, Nee-chan, so I'm taking advantage of if." Satoshi spoke without turning his head from the computer screen.

"Don't make me kick your ass." Saki grumbled, pulling him away from the computer.

"Nee-chan, put some pants on!"

"Go to bed, you ungrateful little wart!" Saki shouted, trying to hide that she was embarrassed that she had forgotten to put on her pajama pants before she stormed in. Maybe this was a small payback for him, seeing her panties when she had to see his… thing.

"Fine I will, just leave." Satoshi averted his eyes away from her bare legs.

"You better or I'll come back." Saki turned and left, her face feeling hot from embarrassment. "That little runt is gonna pay." She seethed.
