Kristen curiously stared at the book before her. After the second part of June Fourteenth's entry, the rest of the pages were blank.

"That's weird...," she murmured before proceeding to read the rest of the entry.


June Fourteenth

Dear Diary,

We met Nagihiko's dad today and let me tell you this, Fujisaki Kouta is nothing like his family. He's like a grown version of Kairi. Overly intelligent, uptight, very organized, and blunt about faults. Those are just a few words to describe him. He's so dull that it makes you wonder what happened to his kids. Then again...Temari's pretty boring. But back to the point, Nagihiko was honest with me when I asked him a few questions about his dad.


We were all seated in the dining room, working on our summer homework. Suddenly, Nina-sama walked inside with an unfamiliar man. He was tall and lanky, easily about three inches taller than Ikuto.


Wonder how his kids turned out average-sized.


The man had short dark purple hair that was to the length of the nape of his neck and amber-colored eyes. He was dressed in a professional-looking business suit and had a pair of black-rimmed glass perched on his nose.

"Everyone! This is my husband," Nina-sama smiled.

"Hello," he said quietly, incling his head respectfully. "I am Fujisaki Kouta."

"Father," Nagihiko acknowledged. "You're back so soon?"

"We finished our research eight months ahead of schedule," Kouta informed, his voice monotonous.

"Papa!" Nadeshiko shrieked, wrapping her arms around his waist. "You're back!"

"Nade," he ruffled her hair. "Nagihiko, aren't you going to introduce your friends?"

After we made formal introductions, Kouta disappeared.

"Dude, your dad is...Oh, I don't know what to say," Kukai snorted, Colin sniggering quietly at his expense.

"Dull? Boring? Blunt?" Nagihiko suggested.

"Hey, you said it," The brunette shrugged, "...not me."

"How'd you and your siblings become so crazy with a dad like that?" Colin chuckled.

"We get it from our mom's side," Nadeshiko and Nagihiko chorused.

"Nagihiko," Kouta suddenly appeared in behind his youngest son. "You're doing this incorrectly. You need to work harder."

"Yes sir," Nagihiko glared.

"Try harder,"

"Okay," he rolled his eyes rudely.

He bitterly glared at his father, who did not appear to notice. Kouta then moved on to Nadeshiko where he began to gently explain that India was not in Europe, but in Asia (1).

"Who knew that India was in Asia?" blurted Nadeshiko.

We all raised our hands and she sighed. Kouta then continued to explain the remainder of her geography homework.

"Good job, Nade," he praised, ruffling her hair fondly.

"Thank you, Papa!" she smiled sweetly.

Kouta then stood up and left the room. We all looked at the twins curiously, one was beaming happily while the other frowned balefully.

"Dude, what's wrong with you?" asked Colin.

"Nothing!" Nagihiko hissed, exiting the room, book bag slung over his shoulder.

All eyes turned to Nadeshiko, who shrugged, and then they looked at me. Sighing, I got up and walked toward Nagihiko's room. To my surprise, I found him pummeling his pillow.

"Nagi?" I whispered. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine," he growled. "Now get out!"


Whenever in doubt, slap your boyfriend and hope for the best. - A quote from my grandmother.


I followed my late grandmother's advice and smacked him across the face. He whimpered for a brief second and then looked at me.

"What's wrong?" I asked. "Wait a second! Does this have to do with your dad?"

"No..." After I gave him my signature glare of death, he quietly nodded.

"Why does your dad bother you so much?" I questioned. "And don't lie to me."

"It's been like this ever since I was born," Nagihiko mumbled. "My dad doesn't like me very much. He's always liked Nadeshiko better than me."

"Of course he likes you! You're his son for Kami's sake!" I exclaimed.

"No he doesn't," he disagreed. "Whenever he goes on business trips, he never calls me, always Nadeshiko. He only helps Nadeshiko with her homework. It's always about Nadeshiko. It doesn't matter if I'm upset as long as Nadeshiko's happy."

He clenched his fists angrily and groaned into his pillow. I bit my lip, sibling jealousy, an area that I haven't covered.

"You honestly think I like all of the attention?" Nadeshiko snorted, barging into the room.

"Yes! You seem to enjoy it when I'm miserable!" Nagihiko countered. "Some older sister you are."

"Oh, so now I'm a bad sister? You're one to talk! Mom's always favored you over me! So can you blame me for being happy when Papa pays attention to me?" she shouted.

The twins continued to shout until I screamed, "Calm down! You parents both equally love you! Stop being selfish!"

"We're not being selfish!" They roared.

"Yes you are!" I argued.

"Nu-uhhhh!"

"Yeah, you are/ Rima would know," Colin chimed in, poking his head into the bedroom.

"Frick off!" Nadeshiko shouted, taking out her beloved naginata.

"'Kay."

"You should try working things out with your parents," I advised.

"...No."

"DO IT OR I'LL DO IT FOR YOU!"

"...Fine," they sighed.

That night, the Fujisaki family kicked everyone out of the house (aka had Kirishima take us to some random restaurant) and had a heart-to-heart conversation. Apparently, they sorted everything out since Kouta and Nagihiko were playing some stupid computer game on my laptop when we got back.

"YOU TWO ARE SO DEAD!"


And that, diary, was the last time I did something nice for Nagihiko. Nah, I'm kidding...or am I?


Jenni: Yeah, a short chapter. I really didn't know what to put for this one so you could consider this a filler. Anyway, there will probably be at least ten more chapters until I finish this fanfic ( I honestly have no more ideas for it). There may be more, but that's what I'm planning on. Please check out the poll on my profile and answer the question below.
