My Ideal

An oreimo fanfic

"WHO ARE YOU?! YOUR'E OBVIOUSLY NOT MY BROTHER BECAUSE OF HOW LAZY YOU'VE BECOME! "Screamed the girl with beautiful auburn locks before bolting out of the house at record speeds. The young boy, despite the pain from the comment being plastered over his face clear as day, jolted off the couch and ran after his sister in order to catch up to her. The girl was crying as she ran and stopped for a split second when the boy called her name. Unfortunately, a truck was about to collide with her-

"KIRINO!" The young man screamed as he awoke from his slumber after falling to the floor and colliding with his desk. This dream was one he had been having rather periodically through the past 3 years after the accident. Kyousuke had only a small amount of time to recollect his thoughts before his door came crashing open to find Daisuke and Yoshino Kosaka (the boy's parents). They came running to find out what's wrong with him, but during the process of explaining, he could just barely make out a set of dyed strawberry-blonde locks waving near the doorframe.

Breakfast came and went rather awkwardly for him, since that was the first time kyousuke screamed as he woke up, making the family filled with concern. Even his little sister, who seemed to despise him, looked taken aback by his reaction this morning. Due to the tense atmosphere, kyousuke had an overwhelming urge to get out the house as quickly as possible, so he finished his food and bolted out the house, earning a concerned stare from his imouto.

On his way to school, he found himself thinking about the days when he was younger, and when he used to be an overachiever in every respect. He had met his childhood friend Minami back then, and after that slowly became more and more sedentary. But when the incident happened, everything changed. He vowed to become stronger, faster, and all around better, like he was in elementary school, but better. Kyousuke wanted to become what his sister admired so much, and to protect her with everything he has, so he doesn't have to go through that again…

The day dragged on after he got to school, but picked up again after talking to his best friend: Akagi Kouhei. "What's wrong man? You seem distraught. Let me guess, Kirino?" the boy asked. After a short pause and no response other than kyousuke looking even more downcast that before, Kouhei said , "no freaking way, seriously?! What happened, I thought you were okay with ignoring her?"

" I never wanted to ignore her to begin with, but it kinda happened after that day, I want to fix things, but I don't know how to look at her anymore… not since I know the truth." Kyousuke replied, looking deep in thought…

The truth of what he speaks is what happened after the car careened into kirino three years ago. He rushed her to the hospital, but she was losing a lot of blood, so much that she would need a transfusion, but they didn't know that until the Kosaka's got to the hospital. When told that she needed it, they were also told that because of her blood type, they were low on supply, but Kyousuke quickly realized that he was O+, so he tried to give her his blood. In the end, they accepted, but they had to show him the paperwork for what he was getting into. But on the paperwork was something he never expected: they had his birth certificate, and his name wasn't Kosaka. It hit him hard then, but he needed to be strong, not for his sake or his "parents", but for his dying sister. He had no time left, "screw the paperwork! Let's just do this, she doesn't have much time left!" he pleaded.

In the end, his efforts saved her life, but afterwards Kyousuke questioned his parents about the name Aragaki (just roll with it, it has very little effect on the story now). His father, despite his normal stoic expression, took on a more apologetic expression, "I wanted to tell you son, but you and kirino were getting along so well, I thought you would have broken off from her if you knew the truth." The old man spoke, not knowing how true his words would be after Kirino recovered. Yoshino on the other hand, looked absolutely crestfallen as she cried out: "we kept trying to have a child, but every time it ended in a miscarriage, we had given up and asked one of our family friends if there was any way we could have some help and they allowed us to adopt you about 2 months after you were born. We didn't know that kirino would happen at all, but were blessed with her after all our years of trying." She slowly gathered herself as she spoke. "Just because you were adopted doesn't mean we love you any less, we were your godparents first, then became your parents shortly after, never loving you any less.

Kyousuke remembered this conversation clearly for years, but when kirino finally recovered, it was all he could do to not look at her directly, for he was seeing something he wasn't used to: beauty. She was beautiful, and he didn't want to acknowledge it, seeing as how he was supposed to be her "brother"…

"Yo! Earth to airhead! You friggen space cadet, you ok man?" it was the voice of Kouhei. Apparently he had drifted off as he was remembering his past.

"Yeah man, but anyway, I had that nightmare again and that's why I seem so down… didn't think I would scream as I woke up though.." he wasn't lying, but he omitted what he screamed for a reason, but Akagi seemed to pick up on that fact.

" I'm gonna take a wild guess and say you screamed her name , didn't you?" he said, trying to stifle his laughter as kyousuke jumped halfway out of his chair at the comment. "Look man, it's cool, I have dreams of Sena all the time. Oh! What are you doing after school today?" he asked.

" Yeah, but here's the thing, we know you have the hots for your sister, and I have work, then I have to go to the gym to do some bodyweight training today. Its upper body and core day today!" kyousuke commented enthused.

"You're just too afraid to admit it to yourself, anyway, would you mind if I came along today? I've been dying to see how the whole modelling process works." Akagi asked wanting to see if he could get in on it.

"Sure, meet me outside after school then."
