-Saki's POV (morning)-

I woke up around 5:30 AM, even though today was a weekend I still had to prepare early for the day. I first went to the bathroom to wash my face so I could completely wake up. After that I headed on over to the kitchen to whip us up some breakfast as my parents would not be getting up any time soon since their work always kept them out late. Once I was done cooking I set the table ready for me and my younger siblings, the first one up was Taishi.

"Good morning Nee-san." He softly greeted as he entered the kitchen.

"Oh, good morning Taishi."

"Do you need help with anything?"

"Well the table is already set, so could you wake the others for me? We can't let breakfast get cold."

Taishi came up to my side to see the scrambled eggs and fried rice I had cooked. With a nod he went out and called out the rest of our siblings to eat. After a while I saw them one by one coming in.

"Good morning Illya, Kuro and Kei-chan."

"Morning Onee-chan!" They all answered in unison and rushed to give me a hug.

"Alright, that's enough love for me. You can go on and sit down while I get these there." The three girls let go and made their way to the table with the twins helping Kei-chan get up her chair.

Kuro was the younger one of the twins, she had long silver hair like mine but with a hue of pink, and her eyes were amber in color. She was the athletic one of the two and because of her love for sports her pale white skin had become tanned in being under the sun so frequently. She was also on the mischievous side, unlike Illya whom sat beside her with her head on the table.

Illya had silver blonde hair and a pale complexion, her eyes were ruby red in color. She absolutely loved to read, sometimes she would be too indulged with her book that it'd take a few times to call out to her.

I placed the food down and gently patted Illya's head to wake her up. Once she saw the food before she quickly sat up straight and her eyes sparkled at the sight.

"Itadakimasu~" We all said together before digging in.

The twins were definitely hungry with the way they immediately went for the fried rice. The satisfied looks on their faces was really something an older sister could never have enough of.

"Onee-chan this is really good!" Illya said.

"Yeah, you'll surely be a good wife someday."

'A good wife, huh?' I entertained the thought in my head, with me standing in front of the altar awaiting for my groom, a certain loner entering through the church doors and walking along the aisle, making his way towards me. We'd have a big family like this I thought, and a nice house where my siblings could come any time they wanted to so they could play with my children.

I hadn't noticed that I had been spacing out when I was brought back to reality by Taishi.

"Onee-chan, are you okay? You've been staring into space for a while now, with a creepy smile too."

"Yeah, I'm fine. I was just thinking about... something."

"By the way Onee-chan, you should eat quickly. The food's almost gone." He then pointed at our table for me to see that Illya and Kuro had already eaten most of the food.

"Ah-!" The sight of the remainder of our meal fully woke me up from my daydreams. Without a moment to spare I grabbed myself some food and finally ate.

Done with breakfast, Taishi went to wash the dishes with the twins helping him put them away. Keika asked for my help with her homework so I told her to bring them downstairs at the living room. Waiting for her to return Kuro approached me and asked something.

"Nee, Onee-chan?"

"Hmm? What is it Kuro?"

"I just noticed that within these last two weeks you've been in a really good mood. Did something happen?"

"What do you mean 'good mood'? I'm always in a good mood."

"Well, in the past when we wait for you to come after your part-time job, you always go straight to sleep. But lately whenever you come home you seem to have more energy. You even helped us do our homework and sometimes you cook food for us. Not to mention you've been smiling more often..."

I smiled and patted her head.

"Well, isn't my little sister really smart?"

I never noticed that recently I had been smiling more when I was at home...

Well it's probably because I got to talk with Hachiman more often. I did enjoy our little chats and of course, his company. The mere thought of that made me grin, what's more was that I didn't realize both that, and that Kuro had been eyeing me curiously.

"Is it because of a boy?"

"W-What are you s-saying, Kuro?" I blushed as I stuttered on my response.

"Oh~ Now I get it..." My little sister playfully ran around the room as she sang in delight, "Onee-chan has a boyfriend! Onee-chan is in love!"

I tried to run after her to stop her, but it was too late; my other siblings had heard Kuro and came out of their rooms.

"Is that true Ku-chan?" Illya asked while she held a book and Kuro quickly hid behind her.

"Yes it's true, Illya-chan!" She said as she passed her twin during her run to escape my grasp.

"Hmm? What's this about Onee-chan being in love, Kuro?"

"It's not true! And it's none of your business Taishi!" I stopped and glared at him in an attempt to scare him away, but before he could return to his room Kuro quickly got beside him and whispered something to his ear. After that he grinned with a smug look at me as if he knew who this was about. He then proceeded to walk back to his room, but before he closed the door he spared some last words.

"I'm okay with him being your boyfriend Onee-chan, he may look kinda scary but Keika likes him and he really is a good guy after all."

After hearing that Kuro once again squealed at the top of her lungs as she banged at Taishi's door.

"O-Onii-sama, you and Kei-chan have met this person? Please, do tell me more about him, I'm curious!"

Before Taishi could tell her anything I quickly grabbed and lifted her off her feet so she couldn't run away from me anymore. Carrying her off to my room she struggled a bit, but eventually stopped after growing tired. On the way to my room Illya watched me curiously and ended up coming with me to my room.

After locking the door, I gently put Kuro down on my bed and sat next to her, Illya sat to my left and Kuro was on my right with very expectant eyes. The two stared at me waiting for an explanation, their eyes alone told me that there was no backing out of this one.

I really didn't want to tell the twins about Hachiman now, but knowing the two if I didn't tell them they would probably go to my school and search for him on their own, so I decided to explain it to them from when he first helped me out until now. The two listened to me intently and after telling them the things that had happened up to date, the two got off my bed and onto their feet.

"Onee-chan, you have our blessing and we want to meet him ASAP!" They said altogether, giving me their thumbs-up.

"Look you two, we aren't still a couple. You know that, right?"

"Well, with things as they are right now... I think you two have a chance to become one!" Illya said while she held my hand.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Because according to your story, you are the one of the girl he trusts right now, plus he lets his guard down around you Onee-chan, so Illya and I both wish you well."

'He "lets his guard down" around me?' I thought he was just comfortable around me because I was also a loner like him. But if my little sisters said so then they must have seen something I didn't.

"Thanks for your support you two, and maybe next time when he comes here you can meet him." I smiled at them and patted both their heads.

"Okay, we'll look forward to meeting this boy fufufu..." Kuro remarked before she and Illya looked at each other and grinned. The two then laughed suspiciously as they exited my room.

'Hachiman, I'm sorry if my little sisters will cause trouble for you the next time you come over...' I sighed to myself at the thought of whatever the two girls were up to. 'But knowing that sis-con, he can pretty much handle them. I'll just do my best to prevent them from saying anything weird.' I went out of my room to find that Keika was waiting for me, I forgot that I had promised to help her with her assignment

"Sorry Keika, I was just talking to the twins about something. Did I make you wait long?"

"Nope, I just got all my assignments with me. Can you help me now?"

"Alright Keika, I'll help you out with those now." We went downstairs back to our living room. We quickly finished her assignments as they were just simple stuff like color the ones that were different from the other objects or fill in the blanks with the correct word. After helping her she gave me a big hug and thanked me for everthing. Keika then packed her things and went back upstairs to put them away in her bag. Once again alone I remembered what had happened yesterday.

I had called Hina and asked her on what had happened between Hachiman and Miura. She told me nothing was done as her friend went on a trip with her family. I was worried about Hina and Hachiman, her especially because she sounded a little disappointed when she went out of her way to set them up, only to fail because she didn't know that Miura had plans.

All I had to say to her was that it wasn't not her fault and that Hachiman would never hold that against her. We talked for a while longer and it seems I somehow managed to cheer her up a little. She then said she was reading something and that she had to get back to it so she bid goodbye before hanging up. After the call I wanted to contact Hachiman to see if he was fine too, but I thought I should let him be for the meantime.

I also remembered that this meant he had failed on the task Caren-san gave him... Will he still get punished today? I hope not.

-Hina's POV (afternoon)-

I woke up to the heat of the sun and wondered what time it was. I had slept in late last night from enjoying the book Hikigaya-kun lent me. I glanced at the clock to see it was already 10:00 AM already.

I got too carried away reading the book from him called the Epic of Gilgamesh I really enjoyed it, especially the part Gilgamesh and Enkidu wrestled each other. It gave me some ideas and positions for a new BL story in mind hehehe...

Before I could let my imagination run wild my stomach rumbled so I got up my bed and fixed it up. I washed my face then went to the kitchen, opening the refrigerator to look at what was inside. There were some chicken and sushi wrapped up with a note on the side with my name on it. It said both mother and father had some work to do today so I was all alone.

"Thanks, mom." I said to myself.

I got the plate and took off the plastic wrapper around it before putting it in the microwave to heat it up. Waiting for it to finish I remembered what had happened yesterday.

I know Hikigaya-kun was right when he said it wasn't my fault, and I didn't know that Yumiko and her family would have a trip. I should have noticed it, or at least asked her so that I could have made arrangements so Yumiko and Hikigaya-kun could meet and talk earlier. I also remembered him saying that if he failed, he would be punished by Caren-san...

I already told her about what had happened yesterday and she just replied with "thanks for helping Hikigaya-kun" so I hope he wouldn't be in trouble. I could make it up to him by... lending him some of my books in return? But my books are mainly about my hobby. Maybe I can lend him some, but not the hardcore ones?

After eating I got to my bookshelf and picked out the books that I could have him read. I had to choose the books that had more emphasis on story than romance since I knew he didn't like these kinds of titles.

Or maybe I could make him try some out and get his opinion later... If he does start to like these types of books then maybe I can actually see a HachixHayama development in reality!

But before I could delude myself with that ship I suddenly remembered how Tobe and Hikigaya-kun were so friendly yesterday!

How Tobe sat beside Hikigaya-kun while they discussed something, how their eyes sparkled while talking to each other it look so intimate with me I hereby make a new ship!

HachiXTobe!

I wonder who will be top... Maybe Hikigaya-kun? He is handsome despite his eyes and he has a mysterious vibe around him. Cool and mysterious he can definitely be top!

But wait Tobe can also be a good top! He is kind, friendly and easy to talk with so maybe he can thaw Hikigaya-kuns cold exterior and make him awkward while he gets his heart!

There are so many possible scenario's with those two I can't pick one!

*Due to her fujoshi nature a lot blood spurted out of her nose and she lost consciousness while imagining Hikigaya-kun and Tobe spooning.*

After recovering and half an hour of picking I finally picked out two books. I quickly put them in my bag so as not to forget before returning to Hikigaya-kun's book to read.

When I finished the Epic of Gilgamesh an hour later, I remembered that I still had one more book from him that I haven't read. I stood up from my bed to fetch it, its cover was two beautiful girls holding hands and their faces were really close to each other, staring passionately at each other.

"Hmm... So Hikigaya-kun is into this kind of stuff?" I asked myself. Hikigaya-kun never struck me to be the type to fantasize about these things.

The title of the book was "Citrus" and while I wasn't a fan of this genre, if Hikigaya-kun recommended it then it should be worthwhile to read.

'There's no harm in trying.' I thought as I went back to bed and got myself comfortable to read his book.

-Yumiko's POV (evening)-

'That trip was so worth it!'

I plopped down on my bed, tired as we had just gotten back from our hot spring trip. I felt so much refreshed after all that had happened lately, I really deserved that.

I noticed my phone was dead so I took out my charger and plugged it to the outlet at my bedside, and while waiting for it to power up I suddenly realized something.

Last week, Hina and Tobe had been hanging out more often with Hikio... It didn't bother me that much, but I did wonder why Tobe would hang out with him after he had said all those mean things to him, and it seemed that they were actually in good terms because he had helped Hina and Tobe pass the test last week.

Hina was also acting strange last week, every time we went out she would always ask me about Hikio and what had happened to us. At first I didn't want to talk about it because that would just spoil my mood, but eventually I gave in to her curiosity and told her about what had happened. She was my friend after all, there was no harm in telling her.

After that, I thought she'd finally stop throwing me questions but... She then asked me some weird questions like, "what if we and Hikio talked it out" or "will I agree to talk to Hikio if he asks me to forgive him?" And when I asked her what her motives where, she shrugged them off as "what-if" questions and nothing more.

I stared at the ceiling, deep in thought on what Hina had said. My response to her was that "that would be impossible as that guy won't even bother thinking of apologizing." But now that I pondered over it more seriously, if it did happen...

Well, if it did happen then I'll just listen to him. I won't say anything at all and let him say what he wanted, it would be too hard to forgive him if just a day had passed after that had happened.

As I rose up from my bed I saw that my phone's battery was already half-full. With the usual ringtone chiming as I turned it on, I waited for a few minutes as it booted up.

There were the usual notifications from my social media accounts, some junk mail in my inbox as well. Scrolling through the items I was deleting I then caught sight of Hina and Tobe's texts.

They were from yesterday, and based on the time it was after-school when they sent it to me. It seemed that Hina wanted to go to karaoke again and I stood her and Tobe up without knowing. I forgot to tell her yesterday about my trip that I can't come, I had to apologize to my friends.

I tried to call Hina first, but I couldn't connect to her phone, like it was turned off. After a few attempts but to no avail, I opted to call Tobe. The dial tone rang a few times before the sound of his voice came through.

"Yo, Tobe speaking. What's up Yumiko?"

"Hey Tobe, I called you since I didn't know you went to karaoke with and Hina yesterday. I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you two about my family's trip."

"No biggie Yumiko, but I do think you should like talk to Hina about this. She was real down in the dumps yesterday, and y'know how she gets when she's all sad."

Hina was that upset that I couldn't come? It was just karaoke, we could always go whenever we wanted to. It wasn't like her at all to be like that. Maybe something was up?

"Alright I'll call Hina after this, but tell me; did something happen yesterday?" For a while Tobe was silent, as if he was choosing his words.

"Nope, nothing really happened yesterday that's worth mentioning. We sorta just went home after an hour of waiting. Anyway I have to go now Yumiko, I have to help at our shop. See ya!"

"Okay, later then." I wasn't really convinced about what Tobe had said so I called Hina again, but she still didn't answer any of my calls.

Was she avoiding me? Could it be she was mad since I couldn't come? But it can't be, right? Something small of a deal like that wouldn't be enough push her to ignore me like this, I'm sure she'd understand.

I tried to call her again, but like my previous attempts I still couldn't reach her. Since I had no other option I sent her an apology via mail and asked if we could talk about it on Monday, and if she wanted to we could go to karaoke then so that I could make it up to her.

'I bet she is just so into one of her books again, that's why she hasn't noticed her phone had been turned off.' I told myself, hoping it were in fact the case.

I then heard my parents call my name. It was already time to eat so I laid my phone down and went out of my room.

'I'll try calling her again after dinner,' I said to myself.

-Hachiman's POV (evening)-

"Claudia-san, why did you do that earlier? You didn't have to act like that."

"Hikigaya-kun, she was being rude to you. What do you expect me to do, just smile at her? Also she interrupted us." She pouted as she took a big bite from her burger, then gave me a look that said "I'm hungry and angry so don't disturb me."

'Just like Kamakura, heh.' I gave up on trying to talk about it, but before I could take a bite from my burger Claudia-san asked me.

"So, did you really confess to that girl in the past?"

"Yeah, I guess."

"Can't say I see the reason why you liked her."

"That was my fault. I misread her kindness and hastily jumped to conclusions, resulting to my downfall."

"You know Hikigaya-kun, from what I've heard you have many pretty girls around you, yet it seems that you seem to attract strange ones. Are you into that kind of stuff?"

'Strange women?' She was kind of right as I thought of the girls I knew.

Firstly was Yukinoshita Yukino, with her strange obsession to cats and her inferiority complex about her chest, Iroha with her slyness and how she hides her true nature from almost everyone. Hiratsuka-sensei was an otaku and despite her beauty, she remained to be single to this very day, Saki looked like a delinquent but in reality was a really loving and caring elder sibling, Can I even consider Yuigahama strange? her being a airhead is normal... Then I remembered her cooking skills, she can't make anything decent even if you supervise her every move she somehow makes them into some kind of aberrations... Just remembering the cookies she first gave me then gave my whole body chills. Then tied at the top were Yukinoshita Haruno and Caren-san, both were beautiful women indeed, but both had twisted personalities. It was like they loved to manipulate people to do their work, though I trust Caren-san unlike with Haruno, whenever we'd meet I felt always on the edge and uncomfortable around her.

Before I could think of more things I was brought back to reality by Claudia-san.

"Heeey, Hikigaya-kun? You should quickly eat your food, it's getting cold."

"U-umm, yeah."

I proceeded to eat my food quietly while my thoughts wondered to the events of today. After helping her at the clinic today, Caren-san asked me to accompany her mother to the mall so she could relax herself. It seemed that last week she had been exhausted and this would help her release some of that built-up stress of hers.

I asked her if she would join us but she said she had some matters to deal with, so after work Caren-san and I went to her apartment so I could go with Claudia-san to the mall after a quick rest at her place.

After a quick bite we headed back to her apartment, while we were walking we stumbled upon Caren-san who was buying stuff for their dinner later. Joining with her to the trip back to their place I received a text from Komachi saying that I should buy half a kilo of pork chop that she would be using for dinner, so I excused myself from the two and headed over to the nearest convenience store.

Grocery in hand I made my way home when I recalled what had happened yesterday. I wanted to know if Hina was now feeling okay, I tried calling her but I couldn't connect to her phone so I texted her asking her if she liked the books I lent her.

Once I arrived home I gave Komachi the pork chops and went to my room to change my clothes. I laid in bed in wait for her to finish cooking, then I remembered Claudia-san would tell Caren-san what had happened today and she would surely ask me questions about Orimoto on Monday.

Guess there was no use hiding stuff from her, I should just tell her everything to get it over with.

Before I could get a book from the shelf to read I heard Komachi calling me as dinner was done. I went out of my room and helped with setting up our table.

"So, how's your day been Onii-chan?"

"Same boring stuff, as always." I answered half-heartedly, not wanting to let her know how Claudia-san had gone apeshit on Orimoto.

With a grunt of disapproval at my lack of conversational skills, she held off any more questions and proceeded to dine with me quietly. I was in charge of the dishes today so Komachi went ahead of me for a bath, I went back to my room to read some of my light novels.

I was about to read "Citrus" since I had it forever stocked in my shelves, but I couldn't find the first volume. I looked around for it in my room for nearly half an hour but I still couldn't find it.

'Meh. This is hopeless.' I fell on my bed face-first, tired of my search. Maybe I misplaced it somewhere else in the house. Since I was too lazy to move around and already tired out, I closed my eyes and drifted off to sleep.

Short AN

Here we go again! A new chapter and two new characters! Illya and Kuro I used them because I watched some Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! again and I didn't have any ideas on Saki's two other siblings so I used those two to fill that role.

I tried to give you different POV from different characters hope you liked it.

As always thanks to thatguywhowrote for betareding this!

Btw I'm now working on the next chapter of Yahaswitch I'll give you a hint on what its about:
