Inu-chan: Another Risa centric one-shot. Took place in Manga volume 4, stage 2 part 1.

Summary: (Risa centric) Sometimes, I really hate myself.

Disclaimer: I own nothing


Take a closer look at me. Do you see what I see? I see a monster. Sure I might've been pretty but Riku was just as pretty; if not, more. I might've not been ugly but I didn't have the inner beauty and strength she had. She was also more athletic and smarter than I will ever be. I may have popularity but she has true friends.

Also, I am always jealous whereas Riku…Riku never treated me the way I treated her.

People say, "Why can't you be more like Riku?" and I would reply, "why would I want to be like her?" I was wrong to say that. I'm sorry Riku. Please forgive me.

People would always say, "That Risa is so annoying!" I would just block those voices out. I didn't want to believe it.

Laying my head down; I muttered softly. "Just what's so good about friends?"

That's right. They all abandoned you alone; none of them truly cares for you. Unlike Riku; every body loves Riku. A nasty voice in my head said snidely. They all betrayed you.

"What's the matter with me?" I pondered shocked afterwards. Was I doomed to hate Riku throughout my life just because of this?

Knock, knock. Riku…after all that I've done you still came back.

Opening the door I saw not my sister but bright red eyes.

"Ah, Harada-san…" you said surprised and I see myself in you. The very same shy, ditzy and infatuated girl: or boy in your case.

It was then I came to one solid conclusion: sometimes I really hate myself.

Take a look in the mirror now. I don't see myself anymore. I see him.
