Oh man, does it feel good to be back writing this story. A warning before we start, its mostly just exposition and forward plot. So... yeah, all this wait for that, sorry. Not really :D Also Haruno fans might experience what Yukinoshita fans experienced, heads up LOL.

Um, it's been so long that I don't really know which review is new and which isn't but I'll try my best, so sorry if I somehow miss you.

If you guys haven't noticed by now, I respond to the reviews ON THE DAY OF THE COMPLETION OF THE CHAPTER, so if you ever receive a PM by pertaining to your review, you bet your ass I'll be uploading the chapter within a day.

Which brings me to a question, do you guys even want me to respond to reviews? The guest ones I mean, like, do the guests even read my responses? Or am I just wasting my time? If you guys would like to me continue to respond to the reviews, add 'Hachikuji best girl' anywhere in the review and I will do so. (LOLOLOLOL) If you don't I'll just assume you don't want me to respond to them.

But enough of that, it really has been awhile hasn't it? Still love you boys and girls, not even in the platonic sense. I know a lot have probably lost a bit faith in me, and I won't hold them to it, or even blame them; completely understand. If you are still reading this, especially from day one... holy hell man, you have my respect. I know there are a lot of OG's and I can't really remember them all but I want to give a thanks to:

Disclaimer: The following people are all based on MEMORY, so I probably fucked up your name, LOL. Or missed a few, in which case sorry.

Predator7

These arent all the reviewers, no of course not, I really do appreciate you all don't get me wrong, but these are the ones that stick out to me because they either keep popping up, or just the ones that reviewed before the 'revision.' I appreciate all my reviews, especially all the guests as well, but well... these boys and girls deserve a little extra, haha. Love you all.

As per tradition! Feel free to skim now.

Fanfic Critic: Oh hey, what up man, you still scurrying about? I still remember the first review about you giving me an ultimatum or something like that. Glad to see your still with us. Uh, pardon my ignorance but it seems that we left off with a bit heat, huh? Uhh... yeah, I'm gonna say sorry for all that, and instead thank you for the review! Yukinoshita is probably the most popular pairing, I know. Not guaranteed tho, likely, but not guaranteed. Why not pair them now? Look at the timeline at the end.

Polite Fanfic Critic: I always find it amusing how notorious FC is, honestly he(isn't she a girl?) deserves a pat on the back for that lol. But uhh, hey man, thank you for the very kind words. I mean yeah... I guess 'NTR' is a pretty sure fire way to piss some people off. But I think people are taking everything at face value, keep in mind that this is a 1st person story, and the story is told through HIS eyes, he may not be reliable. He has bias, like anyone else. Not really saying this to you, but everyone. But again, thank you for trying to make me feel better.

Guest: LOL, I don't know man. On one hand I agree, 'cause anime does a pretty good job on shedding it in a good light, but then I'm like, what if I dated my cousin? And I'm just like ew, gross xD Still fun as hell to write though, um... I think I'm going to leave it at them never having and sexual relation, but did some intimate stuff. I think that's probably the extent to where they went, and probably touching. Bout it, tho.

tumms: LOL you think that was like a filler? Oh boy are you going to have a field day on my ass. This is prob the most filler-esque chapter besides chapter 9

Lol the critic: Oh my... you guys are just assholes to FC, huh? I appreciate the defense guys, really I do, but its okay; no need to attack him, alright? You'll be turning into him by the end of it. Appreciate the review nonetheless man, and for the words of encouragement!

Ahem: AHAHAHAHA! I don't know why, but the way you write that just made me laugh so hard. It's like a poor dad joke. But sorry, no, they are blood related, I'm not taking that cop out, nope.

Guest: Hey man, slow your horses! Even if I did pair them, it can't be this early! Where's the buildup? But, noted, thats another one for the Haruno fanclub it seems.(lol)

s Murd3rf4c3: Jesus dude, its a guest name, do you really have to add the numbers? xD Anyways, uh, I think that's spanish, and I don't really speak spanish, french a little, but not spanish. Thanks for the review regardless!

Khan: Oh hey! Glad to see you back! How's that story of yours going? Haha, glad you enjoyed that scene, it was mostly filler but a key role on characterizing the service club. Oh, well, yeah I guess. Though this is just scratching the surface, a... sneak peak if you will. I'm not actually going to pair them right away(spoiler), where's all the buildup? Again were only on like day... 4 lol. But yes, he does, eventually.

eet: AYYYY, looks like someone finally caught on to that little trope I've been trying, good shit man. Thanks for the review!

ugh: Oh my god, welcome back man! Hey no worries, I understand where you were coming from, a lot of people were pretty ticked on how I did that chapter. But again, like I said to another reviewer, this is a first person based story. There will be bias as well as a possible unreliable narrator. I understand everyone has their off-days, just like our favorite pair(lol). I'm glad you're still with us. Thank you for the review!

And that's that, thank you continuing to read my story.


How long has been? I'm not exactly sure to be quite honest, Aneki's voice from beyond the door had already subsided, maybe she went to sleep, maybe she took the hint and wanted to give me alone time. Though, at this point I guess it doesn't really matter, huh?

What are my feelings for my sister exactly? Well… I mean, it wasn't a lie when I said she was probably the most important person in the world to me, no that's not what the problem was here. The problem was that her exact feelings for me. I know I can be pretty oblivious, and downright stupid at time, but even I can see the signs; I mean, who knows my sister better than myself?

Though… that's probably the reason why it's so baffling in the first place, my sister. Someone who I grew up with from the very beginning, just the thought of having feelings beyond familial bonds scares the absolute hell out of me. There was just too much at stake, it was too complicated, it was too… wrong. I know, it may seem a bit hypocritical, all things considered but the fact of the matter is… well, she's still my sister, my very own blood.

Hikigaya Haruno.

That was the name of the single most important person to me, but even so, for her sake, or maybe my own. I couldn't exactly reciprocate her feelings. I always try to brush it off as a joke, or just her personality that she's developed over the years, and she seems content with playing along with that whole mindset, though if that will last? Hell if I know.

I just lay there on my bed as I stare into the ceiling for the past half hour, why did I have to remember that exact memory? My mind is in a muddled mess, I mean, I was still left feeling… unsatisfied and the recent memories of Kaori and our 'expeditions' coming fresh in my head had really left me… frustrated. In the sexual sense. Maybe that's why am I in this mess? Why all these random dark feelings have been bottling up inside me as of late, why I've been getting so agitated at the littlest of things. I mean, I should probably go apologize to Yato and the beta. I haven't been exactly a 'friend' to them these past few days.

That is, until I remember that small detail of the beta going out on a 'date' with Yukinoshita.

I just let out a tired, heavy sigh. Honestly I felt a little better, and it's not like Aneki knows what it was I was thinking of, or why I'm acting the way I am. Right, well, might as well not make this into a bigger deal than it is.

I just slightly shake my head, feeling my damp hair get a bit into my face, I should really go get it trimmed so time soon. Well, enough of all this self deprecation, I'm sure I can figure out this mess later.

As I go to get up I grab my uniform off the floor and neatly fold, seeing a few papers slip out. It was the panels of the Chuuni's manga, the rather lewd ones. I quickly shake my head and put them into a neat pile, thinking back to my clubmates.

Yukinoshita Yukino.

A name that I've gotten quite used to calling. In fact, I'd even say she was the closest friend I had at the moment, especially after that little 'bonding' session we had during lunch. Honestly, the things that she was put through her during middle school years? I wouldn't exactly say that she had it worse than me, though I wouldn't want to trade places with her either. The fact that she wasn't bitter all the time was a surprise in of itself. That 'cold' attitude she had during our previous club meeting seemed to be who 'Yukinoshita' really was, and that the 'cute', 'go-lucky', 'naive' girl was more of a… not really a facade exactly, but more of her trying to cope with her bitter sentiments? Who the hell knows, I'd go insane trying to figure her out.

That girl was a handful, no doubt; as for my exact feelings for her? Well… I would be lying if I said I wasn't attracted to her at all. Hell no, I was conscious of it or not, that girl was just blessed with good genetics. As for her thought on me? Well, it has certainly crossed my mind, but the last thing I want to do is be presumptuous and ruin… whatever it is we have going on. Would I date her if I had the chance? Depends.

Yuigahama Yui

Another name that I've become more familiar with these past two days. I honestly wouldn't call her 'friend' as I know almost nothing about her, just her tendencies and her 'phobia'. She wasn't really my 'type', but still a good looking girl. I mean, hell, I wouldn't pass up on the offer, though I guess that would go for most girls I've met… except maybe Kawamaki. That girl had one too many screws loose, she was actually the most confusing of all.

Regardless, I'm almost certainly positive that Yuigahama had at least some sort of attraction to me, I mean… that kiss wasn't scripted, and she seemed pretty genuine about it. It wasn't bad by any means, just a bit… inexperienced would probably be the best way to put it. She did say she was a virgin didn't she?

I shake my head of the thoughts, I could feel my inner thoughts going a bit dark; better to stop now before I do something I regret. Not only that, there was still like… three other girls that were, interesting, to say the least.

I casually step out of my room into the large living area and head towards the kitchen connected to it. I didn't really see Aneki, though I wasn't exactly looking for her either. I go to pop open the fridge to see what I could whip up for dinner, and lo' and behold, there was absolute shit. Y'know, just like last time I checked and we were out of water? Funny how I didn't realize how low our fridge was stocked the last few days. Oh well, guess I should go out and buy somethings. I should probably text Aneki that I'll be out for a bit and for to buy something for herself in case she got hungry.


[To: Haru-nee

Yo, Aneki, gonna head out for a bit; our fridge isn't stocked, like, at all. Might be gone for a bit, if you get hungry, order something to eat. I'll leave some money on the kitchen table. 8:23 PM]


Locking my phone and placing a few bills on the table, I go to my room and grab a sort of overcoat, not to mention for probably the first time since I've moved here, going out in my casual clothes and actually exploring the area.


As I walk throughout the streets of Chiba, I didn't really know where I was going, I guess I was half walking around to clear my head, half walking to find a local corner store. Or, if I was lucky, some sort of super market. Imagine my luck when I see a certain-

"Yo, fancy seeing you here." I call out. I was met with a surprised look and a familiar two-fingered wave in the form of a peace sign. I vaguely remember me accepting a deal that made me give her my number. I never did do that did I? Wonder if she was lowkey tailing me this entire time…

Nah, impossible.

Well, you never know; I mean isn't there a common theme going on here?

Sigh… What're you trying to get at, me?

Oh, I don't know. Don't you find it weird how this is probably the only relative normal girl we've run into? Yet she has probably the least amount of screen time?

Do you always have to ruin everything.

Eh… I certainly don't stick around to be helpful.

"Right, well, since you kept your end of the deal, I should probably give you my number, huh?" I tone out once she seemed to be fall in step with me somewhat. Currently we were in some sort of strip with the street lined with various shops, ranging from cafes, restaurants, clothing stores, book stores, etc. Guess what I found her in front of?

Yup, you guessed it; a clothing store.

"That would be helpful." She tones out blankly.

I just roll my eyes. No need to be so passive-aggressive about it.

Soon enough we exchange contact information and she shoots me a text.


[From: Ms. Antisocial

Hi. 8:52 PM]


I just nod my head, noticing I got a text from Aneki; deciding to check it later.

"So what're you doing out so late, and alone to boot." I break the silence once again. She simply points to a store ahead of us, a neat logo from a small banner adjacent to the storefront signaling its name. Of course it was some overpriced 'high end' fashion trend shop. Not wanting to be part of that little tidbit I casually part ways with the blonde haired girl. It was getting pretty late and I did come out here for a reason.

Saying our farewells we go our separate ways, as I try to find my original goal. As I start walking I pull out my phone to check the message Aneki sent me.


[From: Haru-nee

Oh! Well look at you being all responsible, and you actually thought about me! I'm so touched! Though there's really no need, call me when you have the time. And by that, I really mean mean call me now. 8:48 PM]


I smile a bit to myself when I read the text message; glad to know that somethings never change. Not really finding any sort of 'supermarket' I settle on finding a convenience store, granted the only necessities for 'cooking' you could find there are eggs and milk, but I guess it's better than nothing. Might as well grab some more water and packaged food. As I make my way toward the store, I quickly dial my sister's number. A few tones later and she finally picks up.

"Hai, hai! How's my favorite little brother doing? Have you missed me? I've missed you!" Aneki's voice comes blaring out of the phone and I actually have to put the phone away from my ear, a few people exiting the convenience store giving me weird looks, before I put it back to my ear.

"I'm your only brother, you idiot." I tone out boredly, "was there a reason I'm calling you?"

"Oh there he is, for a second there I thought that you might've been replaced by some weird angsty teen," she laughs out through the phone, "don't worry too much about dinner, I went out and bought us some food! Aren't I super duper reliable?"

I just shake my head a bit, even smiling a bit at sister's antics, "oh? Well that's surprisingly thoughtful of you. May I ask what exactly you got?"

"Ehehe, well…" she trails off, and my eyes instantly narrow a bit.

"Why do I have the feeling I'm not going to like this answer…" I drawl out slowly, pinching my nose a bit to stop the oncoming headache.

"You know I actually ordered food, and then they delivered it, but I forgot that I didn't have any money on me so…"

I just let out a breath, "you're actually a dumbass, you know that? Did you even read my text? I left money on the table, 'cause I knew some dumbshit like this would happen."

"Oh! Ahahah… Yeah, I knew that, hold on one minute." I hear what seems to be Aneki setting down the phone then flagging someone down, from the down hallways I assume. A few minutes pass of random noises and I hold the phone up to my ear with my shoulder as I go to cash my things out.

I place my items to get scanned not really paying attention to the cashier before I feel an intesne gaze being directed towards my way. I look up to a rather blank, yet expectant, looking face.

"Yo." I hear a rather monotonous voice tone out.

"K-Kawamaki?!" I yell out in surprise.

She just gives me a weird look, before motioning towards me to quiet down in a really nonchalant manner, "Kawasaki," she corrects, "that'll be a total of 4000 yen."

I just nod and pay for my things, giving her a bit more of my attention, my phone still pressed to my ear, though at this point I'm holding it with my hand. She passively hands me my bagged items. I look behind me to see if anyone was waiting, and there actually wasn't.

"You… work here?" I tone out casually.

She just returns my question with a blank stare then points to her name tag reading 'Kawasaki Saki' and then gesturing to her whole body. Probably meant to emphasize her uniform but it seemed a bit… perverse. Though that could just be my mind playing tricks on me.

"I thought it was pretty obvious, I mean; it's not like I'm bagging these items for fun." She comments.

"O-oh, right, well, I was just surprised is all." I answer.

She gives me that same questioning look she always gives me, "why? I'm a teenager in need of money, so naturally I have a part time job."

Well, yeah, I guess that makes sense; though I couldn't really relate.

"Right, so is it safe to assume you live around here?"

Her questioning look turns a bit inquisitive at that question, "oh? Are you taking me up on my offer to come over and train? Without clothes of course."

Not even fazed by this kind of talk anymore, I just wave her off, "yeah. Not happening, if I did, I wouldn't be alive to see the light of day."

Her face goes blank once again, in what seems to be annoyance, "oh? What you got a girlfriend or something?"

"Well, no, not exactl-"

"The hell you don't Hachiman, tell her I'm your girlfriend!" I hear Aneki yell out through the phone once again. I just let loose another sigh.

I look back up to Kawapocki to give me a rather mocking smirk, "she seems to think otherwise." She comments, apparently hearing Aneki.

I just shake my head, "don't mind her, I'll see you at school."

She just gives me a nod, but suddenly grabs my hand from across the counter, I turn in surprise giving her a skeptical look.

"Something you need?"

She quickly shakes her head, a bit of redness to her cheeks, until finally she rips a piece of receipt paper from the roll and scribbles something down handing to me. She turns away and avoids eye contact. I go to question her but another customer comes up and she starts scanning items ignoring me. I just shake my head once again, heading out.

"Hachiman?! Are you listening to me?!" Aneki screams across the phone again.

"Oh my god…" I breath under my breath, a headache coming in full force, "yes, I'm still here sister dearest."

"Who the fuck was that?! Another girl you're trying to sleep with behind my back?"

"Just a classmate, Aneki, don't worry about it. I'm on my way home now, so I'm gonna hang up okay? See you in a bit."

"Wait-!"

*click*

And with that I end the call, getting a better hold on my bags. I am so going to sleep in tomorrow.


As I make my way up the elevator I finally check the piece of paper Kawalocki gave me, and of course, it was a phone number. Her's if I were to assume. I quickly stuff it into my jacket, making sure Aneki wouldn't see it; lest I have to deal with that tonight.

Why not just throw it away.

Dunno, don't feel like it.

You just love to piss off Haru-nee, huh?

Yeah, 'lil bit.

As I step through our door without an electronic lock, I make a mental note to call someone about that and set the physical chain lock before I take off my shoes, "I'm home."

"Oh, hey Hachiman." A familiar voice calls out.

"Shiro-senpai, what brings you here?" I casually call out, entering the kitchen setting down the bags and stocking the fridge with various items.

"I dunno, Haruno came crying to me about something; probably about you, if I were to take a guess. Said she didn't want to be alone or something." She comments as her eyes are glued to our T.V, her face a bit red.

As I finish my activity I lean from the back of the couch over her and grab the remote, turning off some ecchi anime she was watching.

"Hey!" She protests, giving me a pout.

I wiggle the remote in front of her, "what do you mean, 'she came crying to you'?"

She rolls her eyes, "not literally you doofus, she was just… upset about something."

Shiro-senpai now turns her body towards me as she tucks her knees onto the couch, I notice that she wasn't wearing any pants and was just wearing a loose fitting t-shirt.

Ignoring that little bit of information I give my full attention to her, making sure eyes were staying level with at least her collar, "you two didn't get into a fight… did you?"

I scratch the back of my head, "no, I was just in a rather sour mood; she was… well her usual nagging self, and I guess I kind of ignored her for a bit."

A half truth, but there was no way in hell I was telling her the real problem.

She gives a doubtful look, "if you say so."

"So where's Aneki now?" I ask, changing the subject, as I head back to the kitchen, throwing the remote back to her, "didn't she order food or something?"

This elicits a small laugh, "yeah, that idiot chased the delivery guy all the way down the elevator to pay for it. She then managed to trip and spill all of the food in her excitement running back up here, and now she's gone again to order even more food."

I smack my knee into a nearby drawer from the sheer stupidity that just entered my ears, and I get an odd sense of deja vu.

"And she couldn't do that here because…?"

"Oh she did, she's just taking a shower right now, y'know; with all the food in her hair and stuff." Shiro-senpai answers me, not even facing me.

I actually stop and listen and true, the water was running, I just couldn't hear it over the obnoxious T.V.

I just shake my head, grabbing a tray and putting some old cookies on it as well as a tea pot, and place it on our coffee table. As I set them down I turn around a make a 'shooing' motion towards Shiro-senpai and she begrudgingly moves aside.

Again, I had a clear view of her underwear as her knees were tucked under her on the couch, and the t-shirt she had on left little to the imagination. I throw a blanket over her head, as she yells out another 'hey!' and struggles for a few minutes, finally emerging from the comforter.

"Put on some clothes." I tone out, my eyes watching the T.V as well.

"Aww, and here I thought this would totally work." She pouts.

"If Aneki catches you like that, she'll probably throw you out the window."

At that the olive haired girl just crosses her arm but relents and covers herself with the blanket. A few minutes of silence pass as we both start munching on the small cookies, watching this sorry excuse of a show. As the commercial break ends, Shiro-senpai actually turns towards me, "be real with me here, Hachiman."

I look curiously towards her, "Haruno was really worried about you, I heard a few bits and pieces on what happened, but I want to hear it from you. What happened?"

As I meet her eyes, I see a sense of seriousness to them that I've never really seen before, I knew I couldn't exactly weasel my out of this one, especially this close to her.

I dodge her gaze, "l-like I said, I was just in a bad mood, and she caught me at a bad time."

"So what's this whole thing about you throwing up in the sink?"

Damn.

I still avoid my gaze, but don't answer. I sense her move towards me the comforter still draped around her body. She leans her chest into me and I had the odd sensation of deja vu once again. I sense her breath tickle my ear.

"You didn't happen to have naughty thought pertaining to your sister, did you, Hachiman?" She whispers into my ear.

I actually feel my face grow hot, not from what she was doing, but from the statement of hers. I did, and I'll be damned if anyone else found about it!

"W-what the hell are you talking about, she's my sister, of course not."

She adjusts herself as I feel the blanket slide off of her and I could feel her bare legs. But I still kept my gaze away from hers, "well, if not you, I know Haruno definitely has some about you."

I feel face get even more hot, I did not need confirmation on that woman!

She continues to whisper into my ear, "to think that a brother and sister have the hots for each other, and even live under the same roof to boot; how daring! What would people say?"

At that the thought of other people finding, I lose all sense of embarrassment and I see red, there are some things I can tolerate, this is not one of them.

I quickly turn around and grab Shiro-senpai's hands and pin her down to the couch, a sudden flare of anger and betrayal running through me.

"You don't know anything! I don't care who you are, if you think even think about spreading those false accusations to anyone else, so help me god Shiromeguri! No one will come in between my sister and I! I will not let you ruin her reputation!"

Her shocked face transforms into a rather sly look, "see? Was is it so hard to be honest with yourself? You hear that Haruno? How romantic!" She practically squeals, squirming in my grasp.

What?

I see Aneki, come from the bathroom, wrapped in a towel a shocked and red face, "y-you really mean that, Hachiman?"

"Ooo, how long are you going to pin me down like this big boy? Might as well take off my panties while you're at it."

Oi, oi! That's not something you should say so casually! Especially in my state of mind right now! I quickly get up and get away from that damn vixen and try to cool my head and insistent urges building up, that was actually really close.

I got to fridge and pop open the large bottle of water, drinking it straight from the bottle, trying my best to stay coherent and clear my head, yet again.

I feel my sister grope me from behind, as I almost spill the whole damn bottle from her startling me, "oi! The fuck are you doing!"

I yell as I go to pry her arms off of me, only a towel separating her naked body from me, "so you really do care about me Hachiman! You're like a grade A tsundere! Come on, that deserves a kiss, gimme a kiss."

"Like hell I will! And I am not a goddamn tsundere! This isn't an anime!"

"Ah, sibling love; what I would do to have a cute brother like you." Shiro-senpai laments.

"You are not helping, Senpai! Stop saying weird things that will cause misunderstandings!"

"Come on Hachiman, don't you love your big sister?"

"Not if you're going to act like this, Aneki! Stop making it weird! And put some damn clothes on!"

"Here you can wear my shirt." Shiro-senpai pipes up helpfully.

"Don't you dare! You need to put some clothes on too!"

"What I think it is that you need take some clothes off."

"Good idea, Megurin! Help me out." And with that my sister's hands that I finally pried off me start going for my shirt, as Shiro-senpai sneaks up from behind me.

"What the hell is wrong with you girls?! Keep your damn hands to yourself!" I yell out, trying break away from them.

I go to balcony and open the glass door, and promptly shut it behind me, holding it shut to keep the girls at bay. I wince a bit from a few scratches left by the girls and my foot suddenly kicks a bottle, making a rattling noise. I look down and see dozens of beer cans littered around the floor.

"Oi! Are you two girls drunk?!" I yell through the door.

I finally realize why they're faces were so damn red.


Eventually the two girls pass out from being so goddamn stupid, and I was left with two practically naked girls lying on my living room floor in various positions. I quickly bang my head repeatedly on the kitchen counter until I was sure I was bleeding; anymore of this and I might actually go insane. To top it all off, the delivery guy, out of all times, decides to come now. I go to answer the door and pay for the food, not even hungry anymore; and I know these two idiots were getting up anytime soon. After setting the food in the fridge I go to carry each of them individually and lay them on Aneki's bed, before heading to the bathroom.

After washing up a bit, I didn't feel too tired, all things considered. I mean, I guess I did fall asleep when I took a bath earlier. I proceed to clear the coffee table and continue to grab a plastic bag and clean up the mess out on the balcony; how many bottles did those girls even go through? Finally finishing after ten minutes or so, I leave the apartment and go to the recycling center. It was just a room where all the people on floor put they're recyclable material, it was near an 'open' part of the floor, something akin to that of a lobby. Small couches and a large wooden table decorating the area for people to loiter if they were waiting for their laundry to finish. Adjacent to the recycling center was a room full of washers and dryers to use; included in the rent. I gently shut put away the bags and shut the door, expecting to walk back to my room, though as life would have it, I - once again - run into a familiar face.

"Should I even ask what you're doing out here?" I tone out boredly.

I was received with a 'hmph!' as the girl turns away from me, her face glued to some sort of book. Taking a closer look it was actually an eroge. I just shake my head and simply pluck the thing away from her hands and carefully read the title, "'Alice's Misadventures in the Land of Wonders'?" I raise my eyebrows at her, who still refused to look me in the eye, "kinky." I finish blankly.

I hold out the manga for her to grab back and she just snatches it out of my hand.

"What, someone ruin kick your dog or something? What's up with the sour look." I ask a bit ironically.

"You!" She bites out.

"Oh what, you're still mad about how I treated you at the club?" I tone out, "don't take it personally, if anything it just goes to say how I view you."

"How you 'view' me?" The chibi Yukinoshita asks.

"Yeah, that's how I treat my sister. So I guess, with that same line of thought, I see you like a little sister."

I see her face go red a bit, what? You got some kinky brother/sister fetish going through your head or something? Which, again, I find a bit ironic all things considered.

"So, you don't mind if I call you Onii-chan?" She questions.

"Uh... well, I guess I'd be lying if I said I didn't but, whatever floats your boat. I'm friends with your sister, might as well get on your good side too."

"Hoh? Well you could start with pinning me to this couch and make some hot steamy public sex to me." She says in a challenging manner.

I feel something growl within me, "I am not reenacting whatever sick, perverted situation you have running through your head. How old are you again? You got quite the imagination for a twelve year old." And I go to flick her forehead in the same manner I do with her sister.

She instantly goes to bite my finger, but I retract it too quickly, "I'm fifteen you insensitive jerk! I'm in my last year of junior high!"

"Still doesn't change the fact that you act like a prepubescent hormonal teen who just figured out her sexuality." I blankly respond.

"S-shut up! At least I don't have four other girls chasing me around!"

Four? Well it's a bit more than that but she couldn't possibly know that, right?

"What, you including yourself into that count too?"

"Pfft, as if." She pouts, going back to her 'book'.

I take a seat next to her and grab a magazine left on the table as well, "so what exactly are doing out here, surprised to see you without your sister."

She keeps her eyes on the book, "waiting for laundry, Yuki-nee says the noise it makes scare her so has me to do all of it. I make her fold them."

I just laugh out loud in my head, why the hell am I not surprised? Just the though of her trying to figure out to work the buttons then scampering away when it made loud noises sent my sides into orbit.

"I see you have a useless older sister too, huh?"

She actually looks back to me, "tell me about it. I even have to cook for her too! Says that burning oil scares her too, all she can handle is a simple toaster and microwave!"

"And not mention how picky they can get even though they're the ones not cooking." I add on.

"Thank you!" She agrees.

We just look at each other and share a laugh. I guess me and her were a bit more similar than I could ever imagine. After we recover and silence envelops us again I just had to ask this question, since the first day I came here.

"Say, Yukinoshita said that the mastermind behind her whole 'neko-hooker' attire when I first met her was yours idea. Can I ask why you even thought that was a good idea?"

The chibi Yukinoshita just looks to me in questioning, "oh she never did tell you, did she? It was actually her plan too."

What!?

"Impossible, the first day we met you even specifically said that it was 'your surprise', Yukinoshita even said it was you herself!"

She just blows her hair out of her face in what seems to be annoyance, "you know saying 'Yukinoshita' this, 'Yukinoshita' that is getting really confusing, that's my name too you know."

I relay that bit of information in my head, and the mere thought of calling her 'Yukinoshita' left my brain in shambles. No I actually couldn't comprehend that, Yukinoshita is Yukinoshita, no one else could be 'Yukinoshita'.

"Nah, too confusing, you're Komachi in my eyes."

At that I see her face go rather red, "o-oh... Well, I guess that makes sense." She coughs a bit forcefully, getting back on track.

"A-anyways, I just gave some advice, she deviated her own plan."

"So you're telling me that whole fiasco was her doing?" I tone out a bit doubtfully.

"Yeah, pretty much. She came up to me asking how I could instantly make someone her friend, of course I said that's not really how it works, but she insisted anyways. So, from my experience guys usually responded favorably if you entice them with your sex appeal."

Okay, hold on a second. I'm not saying that that's exactly untrue, just how the hell did she even get that notation, especially at this age!

"What the hell do you mean 'from your experience'?!" I tone out incredulously.

She just squints her eyes a bit, holding her hand out in a questioning manner practically screaming 'are you retarded?', "um, hello?" And then she points to her eroge once again.

Oh... oh, no of course! Phew, holy shit did I dodge a bullet there, just the thought of her actually doing lewd things made my skin crawl.

"Oh, right, yeah of course." I sigh out.

She just looks at me skeptically, "what, what did you think I meant?"

"Nothing!" I answer immediately, a bit embarrassed; a few thoughts of what she'd look like underneath her clothes skimming my mind.

HOLY SHIT WHAT THE FUCK MAN

I-I know, I'm sorry!

SHE'S A FUCKING MINOR! (A/N: Ignoring the age of consent in Japan. Fucking weird man.)

So is literally every other girl I've met, me.

DON'T TRY AND JUSTIFY THIS YOU SICK FUCK. THAT'S HER SISTER.

Hey, family sandwich amirite?

Your absolutely fucking disgusting.

Oh come on I was joking!

...

Hello?

I see her face get a bit sly, "what's this? You thought I was some sort of indecent woman?"

You are the furthest thing from a 'woman', girl.

"Yup, totally thought you were a slut, not going to lie."

I was received with a swift smack, "asshole!"

My head was actually spinning a bit from that, my cheeking having a lingering stinging sensation.

...

OW, FUCK! WHAT THE HELL!?

"Oi, totally uncalled for!"

"'Uncalled for', my ass!" She yells back, "don't you dare say that to me!" She continues with a bit ferocity that I wasn't exactly expecting. She actually seemed genuinely pissed off, and not the, 'haha, I'm mad to play the part' kind of pissed off.

I rub my cheek a bit, and actually look at her, her face was livid, her eyes set aflame, she actually kind of looked cute.

NOT THE TIME, DUMBASS.

Right.

"Okay, I'm sorry, guess I struck a nerve with that, huh? Really, I didn't mean it." I sincerely apologize.

She turns away from a bit, taking a few shallow breaths, "sure, just never say that to me again."

I just nod, at a bit of lost as to what to do.

She finally turns towards me again, "it's just... all the girls at my school call me that; well, not all, just the rather snobby ones."

"I take it there aren't accustomed to your eccentricity?"

She just nods her head, "well, I mean, c'mon; can you blame them? Like really, some of the stuff that comes out of your mouth is just downright perverse, on a creepy level. Like your some sort of nymphomaniac."

She lets loose a sigh, "you just wouldn't understand..."

I just roll my eyes, here it comes, get ready for it. Fuck sake, man.

"Okay, what is it, I'm here to listen." I begrudgingly voice out.

"Not if you're going to be an ass about it." She shoots off.

"Right, I guess you haven't really been around me long enough to be used to my 'personality'. Look, I'm not really into this 'sentimental' bullshit, alright? If you want to spill the beans, I'll listen, and I'll act accordingly. I'm not going to sugarcoat my thoughts or say sweet nothings to make you feel 'better'."

I see have a look of anger bottling inside her, ready to deliver swift justice with her hand, "but!" I cut her off, "I'm not so insensitive to leave a girl alone who obviously has something they to get off their chest. So lay it on me, what's the real reason you engross yourself into this type of literature?

Those who are in need of help, often don't call for it.

I see her hand retract and a look of begrudging acceptance don her face, "I-I was actually... m-molested as a child."

...

...

...

I don't know what exactly happened but I could sense my mind break into a million pieces; my vision enveloped into red. Now I wasn't one to exactly 'white knight' over anything, but this. No, this was a bit fucked up, even for a story like this.

"Anyone else know about this?" I tone out in a voice that wasn't accustomed to my own.

"J-just Nee-san and Isshiki... and now, I guess you." She struggles to answer.

"Not that I'm... put off or anything, but why tell me? Seems a bit personal to tell someone you just met."

Her eyes were glued to the floor at this point, "I-I don't really know... there's just something about you that makes me feel... safe. Like you'd be understanding about it." She gives out a small laugh, "probably from all the babbling Nee-san does about you, and how 'great of a listener' you are. You may not know it, but before you came into our life Nee-san was... a very dark individual back then, almost obsessive.

She lifts her eyes a bit to look at mine, "I shouldn't really tell you this... but, Nee-san used to lock herself up in that clubroom for hours on end, just waiting for the off-chance that someone would come in. you can bet she knew of your arrival before anyone else did."

I get a sudden sense of betrayal at those words, almost as if the 'Yukinoshita' I knew, was in fact, a lie this whole time. I knew her bi-polar nature wasn't just an act, she was actually struggling to keep up with the facade she created herself!

I take a deep breath, but that's another problem for another time. Right now I had to deal with the pin that had been pulled from the proverbial grenade.

"Please don't let this affect your relationship with her, you really do make her happy." She smiles at me a bit bitterly.

"Enough of her already, what about you?" I ask, my voice a bit on edge.

"What about me?" She continues putting on that smile, how forced and fake it was.

"That isn't something you just 'bring up' with anybody, I don't care who he/she is, and since it was me well..."

She finally loses that forced smile, "I guess."

I actually go to hold her shoulders, forcing her to turn to me, "look, I don't know how long you've been bottling this up inside, but its obvious that you're using these... 'books' as some sort of coping mechanism. I won't force you but, if you ever want to let it out you know where to find me."

I see her recede a bit into herself, she looks me in the eyes, and I see some sort of emotion in her eyes that reminded me hope, before avoiding my gaze quickly, a small smile on her face.

"Thank you."

I just nod my head, as I hear a loud beeping noise, indicating that the load was done in the dryer. I see Komachi quickly wipe at her eyes, "guess that's my cue, I'll be seeing you around." She speaks to me in a voice that I wasn't accustomed to. Like she was actually being genuine instead of her usual annoying 'banter' voice.

From today on, I guess I'll cut her a little slack.

I just put on a mocking smile, "yeah, no problem 'sis."

She actually just looks back to me with a smile and laughter in her eyes, "thanks big bro'." And with that blows me a kiss.

"Alright whoa, slow down with the incest, there."

"Don't you know, incest is wincest?"

And for the first time that day, I actually burst out into laughter, probably waking up everyone on the floor.

Oh man, if Aneki ever caught wind of that saying, she'd be having a field day on my ass.


So if you remember my Q&A on my profile regarding this story, I did say that all the girls act the way they do for a reason. This is probably the most dark, topic wise, out of all of them, so sorry about that. I know it's not really a comfortable topic to bring up, but it is necessary to the story. Also a bit more look into Yukinoshita as well, again, not all of them will be 'dark' just... maybe most of them lol.

Umm... I know I've been away for awhile and I'm not going to sit and here and justify it, nor apologize because you guys are probably sick of that by now. I can't promise anything, but I will try my hardest to finish this story. It's my first and I actually enjoy this one out of all my other ones. I probably have the most fun with the Kaori one, just 'cause it's fun trying to get into a girl's head and act the part. I also love her personality, or what I make it to be at least.

Its funny, because Divulging memories is becoming less serious, and this more serious. That being said, this fic - I have decided - will actually be taken more seriously. Don't worry, humor is still the main element as well as the high strung sexual tension throughout the fic that you guys enjoy so much. I'll just be making an actual effort to patch up some plot holes and have a continous plot, instead of the episodic-esque one that has been going on.

Also as a side note, like I said to a guest review, this is a story told in the eyes of Hikigaya, expect bias, or even unreliable narration. Though I guess that goes without saying.

REMINDER: The story's timeline is about at the 1 week mark. I don't know the exact days, I'd have to look it up, which I'm not(lol), but i think its like this.

Day 1: is chapter 1-3

Day 2: chapter 4-5

Day 3: Chapter 6-8

Day 4: Chapter 9-11

Okay, maybe not exactly a week, but whatever. Also I re-read the whole thing. Yup, all of it. Actually had quite a good time all things considered, cringed a whole lot, but I still found it enjoyable. Chapters 1-3 are by far the most cringe inducing, and littered with spelling mistakes, might go over and re-write that whole day, or at least combine chapter 3 with 2, as its really choppy. I mean those are the only 'original' chapters, and they were written with the 'crack' mindset.

I think Shiromeguri and one other girl are going to be the focus of the next chapter, who do you guys want to see? I know the poll made Kawasaki in the lead, but I'm going to do either her or Miura, whichever comes more naturally. Probably Miura tbh because I've already established a link with her.

Also just realized I introduced Isshiki, when I was supposed to postpone it, LOL. Oh well, she'll just be a background character for the time being. OH, I actually had a burst of inspiration for Totsuka! Like damn, I know I said I wouldn't add him(her) to a guest who suggested it, but I may. I'll be sure to do a shoutout when(if) I do decide to use him(her).

See you guys... whenever. Maybe half a year, maybe less.

Until next time,

-Ausko

Love you guys :D
