Here's another chapter of the story. It's not really that good, but it will get better, I promise!

Enjoy!

Thank you!

"ICHIMATSUUU!"

Ichimatsu falls to the ground, landing on his face. "Ow…" He gets up onto his knees and rubs his head. He squeezes his eyes shut and rubs them, then opens one to look at his surroundings. He was still in the antique shop. He quickly stands up and looks around. "Oi, kitten, what the hell?! You said that I would be in a place I like!" He shoves his hands in his pockets. "This is…exactly the same…"

The kitten sat on the counter, right next to the register. "Please don't call me kitten. It's a bit of a weird name, don't you think?"

"Then what do I call you?"

"My name is Mitsuki. But you can call me Mitsu, if you would like."

"Well then, Shitsu…"

"Waaah! Why do you have to be so mean?!"

"…what's so different about this place?"

Mitsuki turns her head to a vase. "It's what you wanted. Something different."

Ichimatsu sighs and scratches the back of his head. "Ah, you're not too helpful, are you?" He walks up to Mitsuki, looking her in the eye. He saw her fur ruffle a bit. She kept her composure, but she began to shake as Ichimatsu looked down upon her, eyes glowing. He reaches his hands out to her, in a way that almost looked like he was about to strangle her. Before Mitsuki could jump away, Ichimatsu picks her up and brings her to his chest. "But you're pretty cute, so I'll keep you around." A small meow escaped from Mitsuki, as she gave a delightful sound of relief.

Ichimatsu left the shop, the little bell at the right corner of the door sounding as he did. He looked at the display window, confused. "There's no one here…"

"If you're looking for your brothers, they are most likely home."

Ichimatsu looked up at the sign. The word Kibōshomo was backwards, making Ichimatsu question whether it was like that before or not. He turns and begins his journey back to his house. Mitsuki starts to giggle.

"What's so funny, Shitsu?"

Mitsuki was annoyed by the name, but she answered anyway. "You're going the wrong way, silly."

"What do you mean, I always go this-" His words were interrupted as he stops in front of the bath house. His shocked face only made Mitsuki laugh more. "W-what's this all about? He asks, pointing at the bath house and holding Mitsuki out by the collar.

"I told you. You were going the wrong way."

Ichimatsu brings her back to his chest. He turns and begins his true journey back home. "This sucks…" The bright sunlight didn't help.

"This is what you wanted."

When the two finally arrive at the Matsuno household, Ichimatsu's mind ran wild. Their mailbox was on the wrong side of the house, as was the umbrella. And the door too! Everything seemed mirrored in the opposite direction. Even the Cafe was on the other side. Ichimatsu slowly walks up to the door. He reaches out to open it, sliding it to the right. "It's not opening…"

"Try the other way, silly!"

Ichimatsu slid the door to the left, and to his surprise, it opened fine. Osomatsu, Choromatsu were sitting around the table. The first thing he noticed was what Choromatsu was reading. It was one of his naughty magazines. Normally he would hide that behind a work catalogue. He was wearing a white tank top with some sort of stain at the corner, yellow in color, and he was in his green, striped, boxers. He picks his nose with his pinky, then flicks it at Osomatsu.

"Choromatsu, that's disgusting!" Osomatsu whines. He whined. He didn't yell like a maniac, but instead whined like a little princess. "Please don't do that again."

Please?! What's up Osomatsu's ass?

Choromatsu just smirked. "Why should I? I need to put it somewhere!" He flips the page in his magazine. He catches sight of Ichimatsu and gives him a nod. "Yo, Ichimatsu."

Osomatsu turns to Ichimatsu, a bright smile on his face. "Welcome home, Ichimatsu." His furrows his brows and crosses his arms. "You didn't do anything stupid with our money, did you?"

Ichimatsu was taken aback by the question. "Why do you care?"

Osomatsu seemed offended by the question. 'What do you mean, why do I care? You know I'm trying to save up!"

Ichimatsu looked to the left, then back to Osomatsu. "Uh…okay?" He sits down next to Osomatsu, setting Mitsuki in his lap.

Osomatsu leaned over the cat in awe. "Whoa, you brought in a cat!" He looked up at Ichimasu. "I thought you liked dogs! It's really weird to see you with a cat." Ichimatsu looked at Osomatsu, confounded. He hugs Mitsuki tightly.

"Tch…" Mitsuki meows. She jumps out of Ichimatsu's arms and wanders over to the staircase. Ichimatsu stands up and goes to follow her.

"Hey, while you're up there, tell Todomatsu to go spend some time outside!" Osomatsu calls. Ichimatsu stops at the staircase. "He hasn't left the bedroom all day. He doesn't know, maybe he can get a girlfriend or something!"

Ichimatsu slowly turns his head so that he was looking up the stairs. Todomatsu…never goes out? He heads up the stairs, Mitsuki only a couple steps ahead. She jumps the last two steps and runs over to the bedroom door, which was located on the opposite side of where it normally is. Upon opening the bedroom door, he finds Todomatsu sitting in the corner with a blanket wrapped around him and a laptop in his lap. He wore a pair of thick black glasses and held a mug with what smelled like tea. Ichimatsu looks off to the side. Scattered about the room was several bags of empty chip bags, and a few cans of beer. He looked back to Todomatsu. "When's the last time you went out?"

Todomatsu jumps, dropping his laptop. "O-oh, w-what…um…" His voice was fragile and shaky. He cocks his head, raising a brow. "H-have you always had such messy hair?" Now the blanket was no longer wrapped around Todomatsu, Ichimatsu could see what he was wearing. A pink polo shirt and khaki pants, which were held up with a brown leather belt. On his right wrist was a small watch. He pushes his glasses up on his face. "N-no matter. D-did Osomatsu-nii-san send you up?"

Ichimatsu simply nods. Mitsuki meows and jumps onto Ichimatsu's shoulder. Todomatsu frantically points at the cat, confused. "A-a-a-AH-!"

Ichimatsu walks over to the window and leans against it. "Can I ask you a few questions?"

"C-c-c-C-C-CA-" Todomatsu kept stuttering.

"Huh?" He points to Mitsuki, who was still sitting on his shoulder. Todomatsu nods. "Her name is Shitsu."

"No, it's not, why insist on calling me that name? It's utterly distasteful."

"But…but…that's an awful name! Y-you don't even like cats! You hate cats! You...y-you vowed never to touch one."

Ichimatsu hugs Mitsuki tightly. "I LOVE CATS! SHUT UP, TOTTY!"

"T-Totty?" Todomatsu sits back down, wrapping his fluffy white blanket around him again. "I-I've…never been called that b-before…"

Ichimatsu calms down, his grip around Mitsuki loosening. She takes a deep breath of air. "Warn me next time you do that!"

"Ichimatsu…a-are you okay? You seem…negative…today. I-it's not like you…"

Ichimatsu looks down to the ground. Osomatsu is kind and wants to see his brothers succeed, Choromatsu is lazy and a slob, Todomatsu holes himself inside and looks nerdy…what is going on?

Interrupting his train of thought was the sound of girls cheering outside the window. "Huh?"

Todomatsu picked his laptop up and began typing wildly. "Karamatsu must be home."

"K-Karamatsu?!" Ichimatsu roughly opens the window and sticks his head outside.

A herd of girls were all cheering and screaming with excitement. "KARAMATSUUU~!" Looking down to the ground, Ichimatsu finds Karamatsu, entering the house, not even stopping to thank his Karamatsu GIrls. "KARAMATSU, WE LOVE YOU!" "KARAMATSU, PLEASE MARRY ME!" "KARAMATSU, SIGN MY CHEST!"

Ichimatsu slams the window shut and runs downstairs. When reaching the bottom, he finds Karamatsu setting a bag down on the ground. "Those girls keep following me. It's starting to get annoying." His tone was quite harsh for what was happening.

Why is Shittymatsu so popluar with the girls?! There was a knock on the door. The voice of Totoko could be heard.

"Karamatsuuu~! Can you come over for dinner tonight~?"

Die, die, die!

Karamatsu's cold gaze fell upon Ichimatsu. "What's with the gloom?"

Ichimatsu was taken by surprise. He didn't know how to answer the question. "U-uh…"

Karamatsu walks over to Ichimatsu and puts his arm around his shoulders. "Hey, it's cool, we all have those days."

Ichimatsu could feel a different aura around Karamatsu. An aura that wasn't so shitty. Go die, go die, go die! Ichimatsu was frozen. He had no words. He was shaking and sweating.

Karamatsu backs away, putting his hands in the air. "Hey, if you don't want to be touched, just say something." He slides his hand through his hair and wobbles over to Choromatsu, sitting beside him. He looks Choromatsu up and down and smiles. "Did you shower today?"

Choromatsu gives a cocky smirk. "Yeah, thanks for noticing!"

Karamatsu nods, picking up a nearby newspaper and unfolding it to skim its contents. "No problem." Ichimatsu was waiting for Karamatsu to pick up a mirror and admire himself. But no such thing happened. But he admired one of his other brothers. The slobby one, no less.

Ichimatsu quickly retreats back upstairs. He gasps the clothing at his chest, breathing heavily. "What is this?"

"Your new home!" Ichimatsu's gaze follows the voice of Mitsuki. The violet eyed cat sat in front of the doorway to the family room. "You said you wanted something new. And you have it. Enjoy as much of it as you want!"

Ichimatsu places a hand on his forehead. It felt warm. The room started to spin. Mitsuki stood up, taking a step forward. "Ichimatsu, are you alright?"

Ichimatsu waved his hand to her. "Shut up, Shitsu!"

Mitsuki took a step back. She sits back down and looks down to the ground. "Please stop calling me that…"

All of the sudden, a burst of laughter came from the room being guarded by the black cat. She stands up and strolls in front of Ichimatsu, look at the door. Ichimatsu took a step towards it. "That sounds like…" He quickly opens the door to the family room. Someone who would never change…! "Jyushimatsu!" He cries out.

Jyushimatsu, wearing a suit and tie, looks up to Ichimatsu with concern. "Oh, did my laughter disturb you, nii-san?"

Ichimatsu's face fell. No…no, no, no…

He looks down to Mitsuki, who was grooming herself. Jyushimatsu stands up and makes his way to Mitsuki. He reaches down to pick her up, but Ichimatsu stepped to the side, blocking Mitsuki from his grasp. "That's my cat."

Jyushimatsu looked up at Ichimatsu, eyes wild. He stood up straight and fixed his tie. "Well, that is quite the expeditious development of events." Ichimatsu looked at him, dumbfounded. Jyushimatsu crosses his arms. "Now if you excuse me, I was in the middle of a very important business meeting."

"B-business meeting?!" Ichimatsu placed his hands on Jyushimatsu's shoulders. "J-Jyushimatsu...where's mom and dad?"

Jyushimatsu narrowed his eyes, looking Ichimatsu up and down. He carefully took Ichimatsu's hands off of his shoulders, as if it was distasteful to do in the first place. "They moved out long ago, remember? We're dependents now. We have been for at least two years."

Ichimatsu looks down to the ground. He walks out of the room. Mitsuki looks up at him, then back to Jyushimatsu. She meows at him before taking her leave. Ichimatsu heads into the closet, where nobody could follow him. Mitsuki sits at the door, pawing at it for a moment. "Are you alright?"

Silence.

Mitsuki paws at the door again. "Ichimatsu, are you-"

Ichimatsu slides open the closet door, scaring Mitsuki and making her fur stand up.

"Th-this is great! We're dependents, and my brothers aren't as annoying as before! Shittymatsu isn't shitty, Chorofapisky isn't uptight, Osomatsu-nii-san is actually bearable, and Totty is anti-social!" He glances to the family room, which in this strange world was Jyushimatsu's office, or something. He frowns a bit. "Even Jyushimatsu…he's tolerable…" He looked back at Mitsuki. "A bit stuck up, though."

Mitsuki was still stuck in the position of fear. If she was a human, her skin would be pure white. It was if she was a statue. Ichimatsu kneeled in front of her, causing her to snap out of her trance. He pet the top of her head, then moved down to scratch her chin. "Thank you for giving me a chance here."

Mitsuki began to purr. She fell to the ground and rolled over, as Ichimatsu procedded to rub her cheek. "Well, we're not done yet."

Ichimatsu stopped his petting, taking his hand away from her. "What do you mean?"

Mitsuki rolled back over, so that she was laying on her side. She looked up at Ichimatsu with a smirk. "Well, you still have to transfer the other you through the mirror. Then everything will be all set."

Ichimatsu scratched the back of his head. "The other me…?" Before Ichimatsu could think anymore about it, he heard the front door open.

"Hey everyone, I'm home!"

Oh no…

"Ichimatsu?" Osomatsu's voice could be heard downstairs. "But you just got home ten minutes ago!"

"Eehh? I must be high again…" Choromatsu says before sneezing.

Ichimatsu pokes his head out from up on the staircase. There, standing in the doorway, was the him of this world. He stood tall and proud, with his hair slicked back. His bright smile never wavered, even though he looked utterly confused. The sleeves of his purple sweatshirt were rolled up, and he wore a pair of jeans, rather than the normal sweatpants Ichimatsu normally wears. He places his hand on the back of his head. And the worst part of it all…standing next to him was a dog. A golden lab. "Guys, I hope you didn't let a stranger into the house!"

Karamatsu shook his head, lowering his newspaper. "It was definitely you. But his hair was all messed up. I thought you were trying out a new look. It wasn't very fashionable, really."

Ichimatsu reached up to his head, patting his hair proudly. Still Shittymatsu…

The other Ichimatsu crosses his arms. "Strange, I just got back from Pachinko…"

"D-did you spend all of our money on Pachinko?!" Osomatsu stood up abruptly, looking at the other Ichimatsu in shame.

The other Ichimatsu shook his head and laughed. "No, no, I kept some!" He handed Osomatsu a measly 200 yen. Osomatsu sat down, a gloomy aura surrounding him.

"We were going to have a nice dinner tonight…"

The other Ichimatsu's dog began to sniff the house. He made his way toward the staircase, where Ichimatsu and Mitsuki were. Mitsuki ruffled her fur up, about to his, but Ichimatsu caught her in time to stop her. He picked her up and ran up the stairs frantically.

"Why are you running?"

Ichimatsu didn't even bother to answer. He ran to the bedroom, but before he could open the door, Todomatsu slid the door open. He seemed surprised to see Ichimatsu there. "O-oh-"

Ichimatsu quickly turns around and heads for the family room. He quickly opens the door to Jyushimatsu doing some sort of paperwork. Jyushimatsu looks up from his work, offended. "Excuse me, can you kno-" Ichimatsu runs through and heads for the window. He sets Mitsuki on the sill and attempts to open it. "What are you doing?"

Osomatsu slides to a halt in the doorway. He looks to the right and shouts down the hall. "I found him!"

Ichimatsu's cat ears pop up out of his head, and his cat tail springs out. His ears twitch, and he quickly turns around, giving up on the window. Mitsuki jumps off of the window sill and runs past Osomatsu. Ichimatsu darts out of the room after her. "Hey, wait!" Osomatsu calls.

Karamatsu was coming up the stairs. Ichimatsu skids to a halt and quickly turns around. "Oi, stop there!" Karamatsu's speed picked up as he came running up the stairs. Ichimatsu turns to face Karamatsu again. He dodges out of the way as Karamatsu tries to pin him down. He slides past him, running down the stairs. He was greeted by the golden lab.

Ichimatsu froze in place. The dog takes a step closer to Ichimatsu. Ichimatsu takes a step back. Mitsuki was behind the dog. Her head was tilted, as if she awaited for Ichimatsu to do something.

"Keigan, down!" The dog took a few steps back, it's barking ceased. It still growled at Ichimatsu, who looked as if he was about to cry.

The other Ichimatsu stepped next to his dog, placing a hand atop of its head. Choromatsu stood on the opposite side of the dog, his hands on his hips. Todomatsu, Karamatsu, Osomatsu, and Jyushimatsu were all upstairs, looking down at Ichimatsu. Ichimatsu looks behind him to see them all with arms crossed. He looks back to the other Ichimatsu, the Ichimatsu of this world. He was not happy.

"Who are you?"

Thank you so much for reading the second chapter of Mirrored! This chapter was a lot of fun to write, since I got to play around with what the Matsuno Brothers were like if they were the total opposite of what you see in the anime. I think they turned out pretty well, and I'm excited to write more about them all.

Please feel free to Rate and Review, I would really appreciate any and all feedback. I'm also going to take suggestions for this story. Where should it go in the future? I have an idea already, but I'd love to incorporate some of your ideas into the story as well!
