Hmm… Editing in this chapter as well. For the old AN at the beginning of the chapter, nothing has changed or will change:
"Wow, first time doing something like this, so its weird...
Also, in response to the reviewers that thought that Kyosuke was getting OOC, allow me to explain my look on Kyosuke: He's like a sponge. Before the actual series started, he was normal, plain, not too smart not too dumb, and everything. However, when the whole Kirino thing came along, he started to play games with her, and the sponge was filled with Kirino stuff. Then, Kirino (in my story) stopped seeking help from him for a while, slowly emptying the sponge of Otakuness. Remember, Kyosuke himself isn't an Otaku, his sister is, and being the supportive bro he is...
Also, around the time the sponge emptied in my story, is around the time in which his cousin visited. The one that showed him all the American stuff, thus filling the sponge known as Kyosuke once more, but this time, with something he actually liked. When someone likes something a lot, and also has a lot of free time on their hands, they tend to concentrate on that thing they like, and since he already told his cuz that he'd be better than him when he came back...
The martial arts confusion, I can understand. But remember, now that he's getting more into physical activities, his dad is no doubt overjoyed, as he himself, remember, is a cop. And knows martial arts. (I think, might be something that I just thought because of too much fanfic's.) Due to finally being good at something like that, Kyosuke grew a bit of a spine, as normally, being good at something, and working yourself to actually be good at that thing, gives a person a bit of a confidence boost. Another reason that he was so into learning and finally being good at something was because in the story, Kyosuke is constantly surrounded by people that are good at something, or multiple things. His sister, her model friends, Kanako, Kuroneko and her gaming, etc. So it feels good to finally also be good at something. Hope that's enough of an explanation.
Ugh, I hate having to put so much junk before the story, but I had to reply to my reviewers... In any case, (finally) on to the story!"
I don't own My little sister can't be this cute.
An Earlier Start
"Ahh Kyosuke-shi. May we come in?" Saori asked calmly and sweetly, using her exagerated Otaku voice. He had heard her real way of speaking a few times, and admittedly was more used to her Otaku voice.
"Of course, you two are always welcome here," Kyosuke said, opening the door for him. He and Kuroneko didn't make eye contact, Kuroneko actually closing her eyes a bit.
The two girls walked in, and Kanako, Ayase, Kirino, Saori and Kuroneko all made eye-contact with one another. Kirino turned strange colors as she saw her two close groups of friends begin to interact.
Kyosuke fidgeted a bit as he slowly looked around the room from the couch he was sitting. Across from him, staring at Kirino, was his ex-girlfriend Kuroneko. She was wearing a black dress type of wear as always, and actually had her black cat ears and Kyosuke could see a small tail sticking out from the back. Kuroneko felt his stare, and turned towards him, before both averted their gaze, Kuroneko blushing.
Kyosuke now stared at Saori, who was sitting next to Kuroneko. As always, she was wearing her stereotypical Otaku clothes, and her swirly glasses. With them, Kyosuke couldn't see much of an expression on her face, but Kyosuke noted she was facing the popular girls. Turning his head, he faced them now.
Ayase, wearing a casual shirt and jeans, was also looking a bit nervous, her eyes flitting from one person to the next. She still sweated quite a bit, from trying to move their bags up the stairs. The same ones that Kyosuke carried all at once a few moments ago. Ayase sighed slowly as she tried to calm herself, before slowly putting her right foot over her left leg, and putting her hands, interlinked, on her stomach. She felt Kyosuke's gaze, and slowly turned towards Kyosuke, who quickly changed where he was looking.
Kanako was staring at Kyosuke when he turned his eyes to her, and unlike the other girls, didn't change where she was looking. Instead, when she realized that Kyosuke was staring at her, stared harder, even smirking a bit, and playing with her left twin pig-tail, before winking and motioning and nodding her head towards Kirino. Kanako wore a small shirt under a sort of jacket or vest, and leggings. She sat with her legs crossed; only averting her stare at Kyosuke when Kirino started to speak.
"U-um..." Kirino stuttered. She was pale white, still looking a bit flustered from the bags. Her hands were fiddling with her casual shirt, her eyes darting from one to the other. Everyone was staring at her now, and she turned a bit red before clearing her throat roughly.
"S-so... How is everyone...?" Kirino said, her eyes still darting. Finally, something comprehensible came out of her mouth.
"Fine, Kirin-shi. Should we come back some other time?" Saori said, sounding concerned.
"N-no! It's okay, you are always welcome here, remember?" she said.
"Heh. Personally, I wouldn't mind leaving this place. There is a person with a dark aura very much like my own... Yet at the same time, opposite of mine, making our auras interact uncomfortably." Kuroneko commented, and due to having gone out with her for a while, Kyosuke could tell what she meant. She didn't really care if she left, as since she and Kyosuke were both in the same room, ex's, it was a bit awkward. The other girls didn't get it though.
"Dark aura?" Ayase asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Opposite of yours?" Kanako added, raising her own eyebrow. She turned to Kyosuke, smirking again. Apparently, Kanako was smarter than she let on.
"Aa-ah, Kuroneko you know you're always welcome here as well, it's just... Just..." Kirino said, turning red as she tried to think of something to say. Finally, as if something had exploded, she stood up abruptly, groaning. She walked over to Kyosuke for some reason, and grabbed his wrist, dragging him up stairs.
"W-wait! What the-" Kyosuke shouted, surprised by the amount of force she was using.
"Aniki! Life Counciling! NOW!" she yelled as the two went up the stairs. The four downstairs exchanged looks, before Kuroneko began to make conversation.
"So, do you like what I chose to wear?" she asked the others, getting raised eyebrows.
"The design is really good, do you have a picture of who you're cos'ing as?" Ayase asked.
"Here," Kuroneko said, taking out her phone and showing a picture. Ayase took the phone, before showing Kanako as well as the two compared the two.
"It's really good! How's the breathing though?" Kanako said.
"It's alright, it has to be, otherwise how was I able to endure the wretched heat to get here?" Kuroneko asked. Saori decided to get into the conversation, and pulled out her phone, pulling up a picture.
"Since we are on the topic of clothing, I've been trying to find which of these looks the best for quite some time... Could one of you point the ideal one out for me?" Saori said, dropping her Otaku voice and speaking properly.
Upstairs, Kirino had shut Kyosuke in her room, before discretely locking the door. Kyosuke slowly walked over and sat on the bed, before turning around to see a running Kirino.
"What th-" Kyosuke shouted, before being tackled to the bed by a tear-faced Kirino.
"Aniki! Help me! I don't know what to do!" Kirino cried out, surprising Kyosuke.
"Wh-what do you mean?" Kyosuke replied, hugging her back.
"My friends! My friends from my two different lives, are all downstairs! What am I supposed to do! What if my friends think I'm a freak when Kuroneko begins to talk about the eroge, or Saori is disgusted by what Kanako tells her about me, or or-" Kirino stuttered, sobbing.
"Kirino. Come on, you know your friends. Even if they all are downstairs, they all still like you. They're your friends, it's their duty to stand by you. If they can't even tolerate more friends of yours, then they aren't even worth the trouble! But they are, meaning that they will tolerate each other, I promise!" Kyosuke said to his sobbing Imouto.
"A-are you sure?" Kirino said, slowly wiping her tears.
"Of course. I bet right now they're downstairs, having fun and waiting for us to join them. Don't be sad, Kirino-baka," Kyosuke said playfully, slowly letting Kirino out of the hug.
"T-thanks Baka-aniki..." Kirino said, as they separated completely, Kyosuke and Kirino each standing up and beginning to walk towards the door. Kirino had a second thought before they walked out of her room.
"If you tell anyone what I just did... I'll kill you," Kirino said, getting a dark aura behind her as she glared at her brother. Kyosuke simply sweat-dropped and smiled, before patting his sister on the head.
"Now come on, Kirino. Let's go downstairs," Kyosuke said, and the two walked out of Kirino's room, walking downstairs.
"Oooohhh! That's so cute!" Ayase squealed girlishly. The girls were all surrounding Saori's phone as she showed them multiple pictures.
"You think so? Really?" Saori asked shyly, switching to another picture.
"Wow! You made these yourself!?" Kanako cried out, in shock.
"Y-yes. I made these all myself, I didn't think they were good enough though, and so refrained from showing or publishing them in any way..." Saori commented.
"I knew you were a creature of darkness, b-but this!?" Kuroneko added, pointing to the screen.
"These dresses are all top notch! I would gladly wear them to the next shoot!" Ayase exclaimed, pointing to a frilly, black dress.
"Count me in! We have an opening dance when school starts again, right? Let's wear these to that! W-well I mean, if you're alright with that," Kanako said, turning to a grinning Saori.
"I'd be happy to! Although if anyone mentions the dresses, please include that I was the one that made them. I can't believe how well these are turning out!" Saori said, lighting up like a Christmas tree.
Kirino looked over Ayase to see the picture of the dress, and the girls all started to chat again, everyone commenting and getting along well. Kyosuke sighed from the side, before saying, "As everything seems to be going well, I'll be outside, training."
"Wait, which freeze are you on right now?" Kanako asked. Kyosuke pondered for a moment.
"W-well, I know the basics, obviously; turtle, baby, chair and their variations. Handglide. I'm still working on hollowback, unfortunately..." Kyosuke said, naming off the various breakdancing freeze's he knew. (1)
"Can you do a chair freeze really well?" Kanako asked.
"It's enough. It works. Why?" Kyosuke said, curious.
"Can you do it for us, you know, to show us?" Kanako asked, winking to the others.
"Why..." Kyosuke said, narrowing his eyes.
"Oh just try it, please?" Kirino said.
"Come on Kyosuke-shi, just try it!" Saori added, her way of speaking back to being exaggerated, her glasses on.
"Fine fine," Kyosuke grumbled, before walking over to the center of the four couches, as the girls each sat down to get a better look. Kyosuke stretched his arm a bit, before going to his knees and slowly going into the freeze.
His left arm was up, next to his head. His right, twisted strangely, the elbow holding him up. His right leg was firm, with his left leg over it, as if crossing it. He buckled a bit before gaining his balance.
"That's very good!" Ayase commented, as the girls all clapped.
"A true dark technique," Kuroneko added.
"Now then, let's see how well you've master it," Kanako said mischievously.
"W-wait, what?" Kyosuke asked, almost breaking the freeze.
"I heard from my friend, who dances, that if you want to fully master a freeze, you must be able to have someone sitting on you to be sure that you've mastered it," Kanako said smugly.
"W-what!? You want me to break my arm or something?" Kyosuke cried.
"Maybe... Anyways, I wonder who's the lightest one here..." Kanako said, before walking over to Kyosuke, who was trying to get out of the freeze, and sat down on his chest.
"W-what the!" Kyosuke gurgled, as his face turned red and he tried to put more muscle into the arm on the bottom.
"Ahh~ What a load off," Kanako said, sitting on him all the way. The other girls all stared with a look that was a cross of bewilderment and amusement, nobody making a move to help him.
"G-geez Kanako-san, how much do you weigh!" Kyosuke asked, his face turning redder by the second. Kanako reached over and smacked him on the face.
"You never are supposed to ask a girl that. Although I bet I'm a lot lighter than most people," Kanako bragged, sighing and relaxing a bit.
"G-going to fall!" Kyosuke groaned, his elbow buckling a bit, and his left leg coming down, trying to use more than two points of balance.
"What?" Kanako asked, trying to get up. The sudden movement and force she put on Kyosuke made him fall though, and the two fell together, both eyes wide with shock. The other girls, who had all been watching curiously, fell out of their stupor and tried to help, or at least Kirino did, being the closest.
"Ugh," Kanako said, feeling her head when the sense of falling left her.
"C-can you please get up," Kyosuke groaned out, as Kanako was sitting on his chest.
"Sure sure," Kanako said, rolling her eyes. Kirino helped her, and yanked her up to her feet, not even bothering to help a still lying Kyosuke.
"Ow," he said. The girls all burst out laughing, as he was red as a tomato.
"Are you okay, Onii-san?" Ayase asked.
"Yeah, come on Aniki. Kanako isn't that heavy," Kirino pointed out.
"That was a great technique, Kyosuke-shi," Saori said.
Kuroneko stayed quiet, still staring.
Kyosuke slowly stood, giving the girls a death glare before sighing and going to the nearby closet. He opened it and took out a speaker, before walking outside, basketball in the other hand.
"I'm going outside to train, don't bug me."
: A breakdance freeze is normally a ground move, in which the user doesn't move anything. Some can be really, really hard.
Nothing changed for plot in this chapter. Move along.
