Well, here it is, Kirino-kun's chapter! *lots of cheering and all that good stuff*

Thank you all SO MUCH for your reviews! They make me want to update! :D

This chapter was requested by SapphireSpade, so y'all can thank her. :)

I hope you like this, mina!

Groaning, I covered my face as I lay on my bed. "Please, Onee-chan, stop. I can't take it anymore!"

My older sister huffed and retorted, "whatever, Rei-chan." And promptly left the room.

Sighing happily, I stretched out and enjoyed the silence and solitude. My sister was a third year at Raimon Jr. High, and I was a second year.

Apparently, there's this boy in her class, and she talks about him all the time. No, really, all the time. And it's not even like she has a crush on him, no, nothing so merciful as that. No, she had to go and think up in her little head that he and I would be a perfect match. Ugh, and I'd never even met the guy! So now she felt it her sisterly duty to tell me every little thing about him. 'Oh, and Kirino did this today,' and 'Kirino's so funny, he said that.' And it drove me up the wall. Rolling over on my fluffy comforter, I fell asleep and dreamed about my sister, forcing me into a bridal gown and shoving me down an aisle, but I never saw the groom.

Sighing, I left the school building in a foul mood. I had been in detention, again. But hey, this time, the kid really deserved it. I glanced down at my blue school skirt, which was almost to my ankles, a sign that I'm a 'really bad girl'. Growling in frustration, I crossed my arms. I wasn't really that bad, I just kind of had a temper problem. As I walked, a sphere rolled slowly and came to rest in front of me. I blinked and realized the black and white object was a soccer ball.

"Gomennasai, miss." I turned to see a boy, somewhere near my age, I supposed, standing politely a few feet away from me. I'm sure my heart stopped for a moment. He was gorgeous. He had rosey pink hair that was tied into low pigtails, and much of the front framed his soft, slightly tanned face. His shining eyes were the color of the sky that sunny day, but much more mesmerizing. He was a slim and fit athlete, standing half a head taller than me.

I blinked at him, and he motioned to the ball. "I kicked that…"

Realization dawning on my face, I quickly covered it up by assuming a look of indifference. "Oh, okay. Here," I picked up the ball and handed it to him.

He smiled charmingly at me, and my heart fluttered. "Arigato."

I nodded shortly, and a voice hailed him from over in the soccer field. I didn't hear what they said, though. Just my luck. He smiled and waved at me. "Sayonara, miss." And then he ran gracefully down to the pitch, and I couldn't see him anymore. Sighing, I resumed my stroll back to my house, dreading telling my parents about detention.

"Oh, and this morning Kirino seemed really distracted," my sister was once again bombarding me with information about my 'perfect guy'. I was grounded from doing anything fun because of my detention yesterday, and I was getting really annoyed.

"STOP!" I think I startled my sister when I yelled. I muffled my face with a pillow, enjoying the stunned silence.

"Are you alright, Rei-chan?" She actually sounded concerned.

I spoke into the pillow, "I have a crush on someone else, Onee-chan."

She squealed, "ooh, give me all the deets! Who is he, where does he go to school, what's he look like is he cute? Tell me tell me tell me!"

Groaning, I pulled the fluffy object off my head and replied, "I don't really know. I just saw him, and I'm pretty sure I felt sparks."

She bounced up and down on my bed, causing me to be jolted uncomfortably. "Ooh ooh ooh, this is so cool! Your mystery lover!"

I facepalmed, "I knew I shouldn't have told you. He's not my mystery lover, in fact, he's probably forgotten that I exist."

She put a hand on her heart and teared up. "Aww, unrequited love! He doesn't even know that you walk the earth."

Rolling my eyes, I stood and left the room, "we're done here." I ignored her pleas for me to return and left the house in a hurry.

Breathing deeply, I decided to take a walk. Strolling through town, I was surprised to find myself back at school. Eh? I was standing beside the school soccer field, as if drawn there by an unseen force. I saw the Raimon soccer team practicing, and I smiled. Soccer had always fascinated me.

I heard a whistle, and then a girl's voice calling, "practice is over, mina-san!" As I watched the players shuffle off the field, I saw him again. He looked to be in deep conversation with a brown haired boy. I blushed and realized that if somebody looked up, they would instantly spot me.

"Hi!" Shrieking in surprise, I looked down to see a familiar short figure standing in front of me.

"Oi, Shinsuke, don't scare me like that!"

My classmate chuckled and shrugged apologetically. "Gomen, Reida-san!"

By now, the rest of the soccer club had gathered around curiously. Tenma, another boy from my class, ran up to me grinning. "Konichiwa, Reida-san! Did you come to play soccer with us?"

I shook my head quickly, "oh no, I was just taking a walk, and…" I stopped when I saw the brown haired boy from earlier step forward, prince charming standing right behind him.

The guy smiled at Tenma. "Would you mind introducing us to your friend, Tenma?"

The smaller boy grinned sheepishly and exclaimed, "sure thing, Shindou-senpai! This is Minna Reida, she's in us second years' class!"

The dreamy guy with the pink hair spoke, looking surprised. "Minna? Are you Minna Aiko's sister?" Wordlessly I nodded. Man, I don't think I'll ever work up the nerve to speak to this guy.

He smiled sweetly at me, "well then, I should introduce myself. I know your sister very well, you know." He stepped forward and held out his hand cordially. "I'm Kirino Ranmaru." I blinked slowly at him.

"W-WHAT?" I stepped back, completely crumbled. My dream guy was Kirino?! No way, no how! Not hearing anything anybody said to me, I turned tail and ran, not stopping until I had slammed and locked my bedroom door behind me and fallen on my bed, sobbing. Why did it have to be him?

A gentle knock sounded on my door about an hour later. "Rei-chan? Can I come in?" I remained silent, ignoring my older sister. "Reida, I know you're in there. Can I talk to you?" I continued giving her the silent treatment, until she gave up and left. Sniffling loudly, I drifted into sleep, and dreamt again about my wedding, but I did see the groom this time, in all his beautiful glory.

Trudging slowly, I was leaving school late again. I'd been rather edgy and moody ever since I learned the name of my crush, two days ago. Okay, this time I'll admit it, the kid may not have deserved it. Head downcast, I didn't notice the figure walking beside me until he spoke. "Konichiwa, Reida-san."

I jumped and yelped, turning to see Kirino standing there, smiling shyly.

"E-Eh? Where did you come from?" I asked grumpily, surprised that I could even talk to him.

He chuckled lightly, "soccer practice." I nodded quickly and quickened my pace. He just adjusted and kept walking next next to me silently.

After about three minutes, I stopped abruptly and whirled on him. "What's your problem, dude?!" He looked hurt, and I was instantly sorry. But it was against my policies to apologize for that, so I just stood my ground.

"I just wanted to apologize for upsetting you the other day. I really didn't mean to…" He looked so pitiful, I just wanted to hug him. Wait, what? I never wanted to hug people, it wasn't in my personality.

I shrugged, "it's okay. It wasn't exactly you…"

He perked up and grinned, his white teeth shining. "Really? Oh good, I'm glad. Say, Reida..."

I cocked my head to the side. "Hmm?"

He fidgeted, "eto, I also wanted to tell you that… I really like you."

I raised an eyebrow. "Really? You have got to be kidding me…"

He bit his lip. "I'm sorry for-" I held up a hand to stop him. "No no no, that's not it! It's just, it's too good to be true. I-I really like you, too."

He gasped, and he looked so happy, this time I couldn't stop myself from hugging him. He was just too cute! He held me tightly and asked jokingly, "so who'd you hit this time?"

Frowning, I blushed. "H-How did you know about that?!"

He shrugged. "Why else would you leave school so late?"

Sighing, I nodded. "I guess that makes sense."

He whispered, "but I bet he deserved it." I giggled. Yeah, there were definitely sparks.

And there you have it. I hope you liked it! Leave a review telling me what you thought. And uh, I'm sorry for always giving you siblings... but siblings are fun! :D

And thank you so much for your help, Lotus Sword! I hope I got what you were saying... :)
