"Hey, Shinju. Shinju. SHINJU!"

"DAH!" I fell off of the couch, my entire body asleep. What the?

"Don't you remember? We're going to Ayaka's place today!" I stood up and rubbed my eyes to get the guck out.

"Why?" I hate that blonde.

"I want you to be Ayaka's little sister today."

"Why the F would I do that?"

"Cause I'm not as small as you." I shot a death glare at Carie, and then stumbled into the bathroom. After taking a shower, I got dressed and left the dorm with Negi, Konoka, Asuna, and Carie.

Ayaka's POV:

I was walking through the halls when I saw Bells with some other girl.

"Asuna? Why don't you remember?"

"….."

"Why?" The girl started breaking down and crying. A teacher came by and bent down.

"Shelby? Can I talk to you?"

"Ok."

Later:

"Hey Bells, who was that girl?"

"What did you say?"

"…..I'm not really sure….."

"Brat."

"You're the brat!"

Later:

"Why? Why can't I see my brother?"

"KU!" I shot up in bed, for some reason, sweating. What was that dream about? All I remember is stupid Asuna in it. And…no. I won't think about that today. After changing into a day gown, I passed the maids and met listened to my butler while having my morning tea.

"Your professor called earlier this morning." What? Negi-sensei called me at home? This is just what I needed to hear!

"He is going to visit not long from now."

"Oh! How I have dreamed of this day! This wonderful day when Negi-sensei would-" I looked over at my happy, yet confused, maids. Coughing softly, I remembered who I was around the household.

"It seems my professor will be visiting us today, ladies. Please tell me when he arrives."

"Of course Miss Ayaka."

Shinju's POV:

"Are we there yet?"

"Yes…WE'RE STANDING IN HER HALLWAY!" After a long train ride and a taxi, we finally made it to Ayaka's house. Wow, I bet that the door cost more than the amount of money it takes to feed everyone in the orphanage for one year.

"Negi-sensei! I'm so glad to-" Ayaka slid onto the floor a foot away from my feet.

"Hey, Blondie. What's up?"

"Hello, Ayaka. See great to see you."

"Hi, President."

"Don't fall on top of me if you're going to trip all day."

"Do you have a library?" I wasn't surprised with this question. Ayaka's response wasn't that surprising either.

"WHY THE HECK ARE ASUNA-SAN AND SHINJU-SAN HERE? AND WHO THE HECK ARE YOU?"

"Name's Carie-san. I'm in your class. Where's the library?" Wow, Carie wasted no time.

"Down the hall and the fifth door to the left."

"Thank you very much." Carie then started to walk down the hall with a calm pace. Then she realized how stinking rich Ayaka is and was gone from our sight in two seconds flat. New record.

"Anyway, we're Negi's chaperones 'cause you would lock him up in your dungeon and throw away the key if he came by himself."

"BUT YOU'RE THE SAME AGE AS HIM!"

"Ayaka, calm down!" I smiled at Ayaka.

"Baka head."

"Why you little twerp!" Ayaka began throwing heavy kicks my way. I dodged each one and pulled out my sketchpad from my bag.

"For you." I taped a picture of an angry Ayaka to her face. I then stared at my drawing. I wonder if this is better than the real thing. I then took the picture off of Ayaka, held it up, and compared. WAY better than the original.

Later, after more kicking and dodging:

"Excuse me Negi-sensei, but why did you come here today may I ask?"

"Oh, Shinju and I came here today because Asuna-" I looked back at Asuna, who was waving her hand back and forth. I whispered in her ear.

"you do realize that looks weird, right?" I then walked with Ayaka and Negi again, smiling.

"And this is my bedroom." Bigger than my old room.

"Asuna, don't go out on the veranda by yourself, alright?" I looked over at Asuna, and walked over.

"Sure brings back memories."

"Hmm?"

"Oh, you weren't around here, were you? Ayaka would sometimes let me come over to her house when she was bored."

"So…when she was bored, she would be nice?"

"I guess."

"Wish she was bored more often." Asuna tried to hold back a laugh. We walked back into the room to see Negi talking to Ayaka.

"Mmmm. I love this herbal tea! It tastes almost like the kind onee-chan made me."

"Hey Konoka, Shinju, Negi? Want to go swim? There's a pool."

"Sure. Why not."

"Wait! I want to show Negi-sensei more!"

Later:

With my new bathing suit on, Carie, Asuna, Konoka, and I jumped feet first into the water. We found Carie in a mini house made out of books in the library. Surprisingly enough, she didn't make it. She made the maids make it (Carie was reading a book at the time).

"Hey Ayaka? Want to race?"

"I'm fine. You're like a cheetah in the water." After playing with Asuna and Konoka, I started getting tired and got out to sit by Negi and Ayaka.

"They're just like little energetic kids."

"Speak for yourself Negi. But hey, I'm your age also, so I don't have much to say."

"Asuna-san and Konoka-san have been this way since we were in primary school. Though Asuna was quiet when she first transferred in…" Just like me again.

"You guys may fight, but I can tell that you too are pretty good friends."

"Friends? More like enemies. Our interests are different and we never got along. We were mortal enemies since the day we met."

"Who's room is that over there? Your little sister's?"

"That's not important. Would you like a cookie? They're homemade." Hearing the change in subject, I walked away to another seat. Lying back, my eyes started to close. Soon, I was fast asleep.

Later:

"Shinju-chan. Wake up."

"Onee-chan?" I opened my eyes to see Ayaka blushing.

"Sorry. I don't know why, but I sometimes call Asuna 'onee-chan' by accident."

"You do? Why?"

"I guess it's just that I look up to her, ya know? She nice when she doesn't mean to and she has so many people who care about her. Back in America, all I had was my friend Carie. She was like a little kid, so I felt like I had to take care of her. She's probably the reason why I'm in 2-A with you."

"Asuna remembered…"

"Hmm?"

"Today was going to be my little brother's birthday. You know, I actually wanted a little sister." She looked at me with a kind smile.

"Make sure Asuna stays just the way she is now. Ok?" I smiled back.

"You got a deal." Ayaka stood up.

"You better get going. Negi-sensei is waiting for us in the hallway."

"Ok."

Later:

Hey Negi. Hey Shinju. You both alright?"

"Ya, we're good." I walked past Carie, who was now reading my books, and tiptoed over to Negi, who was writing something in his book. I guess he noticed the close bond between Asuna and Ayaka. I gave Asuna a big hug.

"What was that for?"

"For you being yourself. And for being my onee-chan." No surprise, she blushed.

Hey folks, how was New Year's Eve? I was watching the ball drop when I realized that not one TV channel showed the ball hitting 0. Damn news people.

Happy 2011 from Superotakufan!
