Bolded words should be taken as English. If it isn't bolded then it would count as Japanese as this is the fanfiction for the anime Brothers Conflict.

Hinata Kimiko was everything that her sister wasn't. She was irritable, often times rude, paranoid, sarcastic and definitely not interesting enough to hold the attention of thirteen completely different guys. Not interesting, and not pretty enough. Maybe smart enough though. At least, that was the way that she always saw it. But who cares? After all, Kimiko would be spending all her time in America, where her sister wasn't, studying to become a psychiatrist, while Ema lived in Japan. That was the way Kimiko always thought things would work out. Until her dad suddenly thought that it was a good idea to ship her back to Japan to stay with her new siblings for at least a year. By the gods did Kimiko hate Murphy's Law.
Chapter One:
"What do you mean I have to go back to Japan for a year?!" Hinata Rinatarou could practically feel his ears bleeding after they had been assaulted by his youngest daughter's screech.
"Honey, please be calm about this. And can you switch over to Japanese? My English isn't what it used to be." Even through the horrible connection, Hinata Kimiko could hear the pleading undertone, lying beneath her father's words. Heaving a sigh, she resigned herself to the fact that she wouldn't win this argument and was already making a list of the items she needed to pack in her head. That didn't mean that she would be giving up that quickly though.
"Why are you calling me in the middle of testing week asking me to come back to Japan?" It also didn't mean that she wasn't irritated either.
"Because, I think that it would be a good idea if you came to get to know your new family. Besides, Ema's worried about you.." Playing the "make the younger sibling feel guilty about worrying the older" card. That's low. Goddammit dad, Kimiko curses to herself, this is really important to you. Crap.
" But what about my studies?! I can't just take a year off if I want to become a psychiatrist."
"I already talked to the principal about this and she said that it was fine."
"... What did she say?"
"She said that she would be counting this as a year of studying abroad and that she would allow it as long as you agreed to it as studying abroad and helped out around Hinode High School. I was thinking that you could help out with the English class. They could use it."
"Pshhh. There's no getting out of this is there."
"Nope. I like how you didn't even phrase that as a question."
"I just have one condition."
"Okay…"
"My friends can visit at any time."
"Deal."
"... I'll be there by Friday."
"That's my girl. Love you!" The dial tone interrupted her as Kimiko was opening her mouth to say the words back to her dad. Love you too.
