Yuuki slowly opened her eyes. She was in a dark room, the only light coming from above a flight of stairs. From there, she reasoned that she was in a basement. She tried to move, but a coat of ropes held her to a chair. She tried to speak, but something was strapped to her mouth
"Mmph?" she said. She turned her head. She could see her sister beside her, along with Asada.
"Greetings, ladies." she heard a voice say. She looked up to see Rika, walking down the stairs. "Welcome to my workshop."
"Hmph?" said Yuuki. Her heart started beating faster.
"This is your interrogation," said Rika. She flicked on a light switch. Yuuki looked around, there were all kinds of bizarre tools and contraptions around her, somewhat resembling the objects that Lisbeth always had with her.
"Don't be scared. You'll be fine," said Rika. She walked over and pulled the object out of Yuuki's mouth.
"What are you doing with us?" she said, trying to not look scared.
"We're going to get information out of you. You tell us what we want, we get along fine. Understood?"
Yuuki nodded. Asuna looked up in horror.
"What are you going to do to us?" she said.
"We're asking the questions here!" Rika glared. "Now, first question. Who are you guys?"
"We already told you!" said Asada, struggling within her confines. "I'm Sinon, that's Zekken and Asuna!"
"Hmph." Rika caressed the side of Asuna's face. "Are you sure about that?" Asuna recoiled at the way Rika gazed into her eyes.
"I'm Yuuki Konno!" Yuuki exclaimed. "This is my sister, Asuna Yuuki. And this is our friend Shino Asada!"
"Asuna?" said Rika. "You chose your real name for your username?"
"Yeah, why?" said Asuna.
"No reason… Next question!" Rika snapped her fingers. "Are you working for Kayaba?"
"We're not working for him, we're helping him!" said Yuuki. "To create a perfect semi-virtual world!"
"Ugh, zealots." Rika frowned. "Why do you help him?" said Rika. "He's going to kill everyone!"
"He doesn't want to hurt anyone!" said Asuna. "He just wants to make people's lives bet-AH!"
Asuna winced as Rika licked the side of her neck.
"This is the taste of a villain."
"Well, I'm not one to point fingers, but I'm pretty sure we're not the bad guys in this situation!" Asada glared at Rika.
"Also, who makes Jojo references anymore?" said Yuuki.
Rika pulled out a small device with a red button on top. She smirked and pressed down.
Suddenly, insanely loud music filled the room. Yuuki's eardrums felt like they were splitting.
"Cause I'm a killer… queen! Gunpowder and gelatine!" Rika sang before flicking off the music. "Like my singing? I'm an alto, you know."
Just then, Keiko walked down the stairs.
"How's the interrogation going?" she said.
"Great! I'm thinking about using the whip now!" said Rika.
"Whip!?" said Yuuki.
Keiko sighed.
"Don't mind her, she just has a fetish for this kind of thing."
"Hey!"
"Anyway, how did you three become magical girls?" Keiko turned to them
"Kayaba enlightened us," said Yuuki. "He trusts us with the power to perfect the world."
"More importantly." Rika chimed in. "How do we defeat Kayaba?"
"We'll never tell you!" Yuuki snapped. "There will be more to come. No matter what you do, Kayaba will reign supreme… AAAAAAAAAAAGH!"
Rika was holding a bottle of milk.
"What? I was just thirsty." Rika chugged a few gulps of the creamy liquid.
"Oh right, you hate milk," said Asuna.
"What… no…" Yuuki blushed. "A magical girl would never submit to such a trivial beverage... Even if it is disgusting and clammy!"
A little later...
Rika walked upstairs, alongside Keiko. Pina was napping on the kitchen floor.
Meanwhile, Klein was in the middle of lecturing Kazuto and Suguha.
"Do it!" he exclaimed.
"No!" said Kazuto
"Do it!"
"No! I will not date my own sister! She's a fine, beautiful young woman, I have no right to let her waste all that on her brother!"
Suguha giggled, while also blushing heavily.
"You think I'm beautiful?"
"Th-that isn't what I meant! Don't get the wrong idea!"
"Help me out here, Rika!" said Klein. "I wanna get this bashful nonsense over already."
"Rika!" said Kazuto. "Klein's talking nonsense! He wants me to date my sister!"
"He's got a point," said Rika. "JUST MAKE OUT ALREADY, WE'RE SICK AND TIRED OF YOU TWO BEING SO OBVIOUS THAT YOU'RE PINING TO DATE EACH OTHER, AND YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE THE SENSIBILITY TO JUST DATE! IT'S NOT EVEN ROMANTIC ANYMORE! IT'S ANNOYING FOR ALL OF US!"
"So, I'm not budging an inch until you two kiss!" Klein firmly declared. "By the way, Rika. What did you do with those three?"
"I… got some info." Rika shrugged. "They work for Kayaba, they're also users, and they won't tell me how to defeat him. But I think I can squeeze out an answer in a few days! Maybe a little faster if I use my… techniques..."
"You are not going to strip them naked and do… all that freaky stuff you described earlier!" said Keiko.
Kazuto covered Yui's tiny ears.
"Don't describe stuff like that around Yui!" he said.
"I'm not a child!" Yui piped. "I'm capable of calculating prime numbers larger than the diameter of the Earth! I can also calculate the diameter of the Earth!"
"You're too young to think about things like that!"
"Stop babying me, daddy!" Yui yelled. Then she stopped. Everyone stood in silence.
"Uh… Well, I'm going to bed," said Rika.
"Looks it's a sleepover," said Klein. He and Rika walked up the stairs. "We'll just sleep in your room."
"But there's only two beds." said Rika.
"What the…" said Kazuto. "Then where do we sleep?"
"I think there are some of my clothes in that closet! I bet you two would love to spend a night together in a confined space!" Rika winked.
"Why you… I'll get you for this!" said Suguha. Then she turned to face her brother, as well as Yui, who was already opening the closet door. "Um…"
"I can't believe I'm saying this…" Kazuto took a deep breath. "But I think we can make this work."
"Wait, really?" Suguha's eyes perked up. "You actually think so?"
"I mean, it might not be comfortable… but we've really got no other choice. We'll have to make a bed out of Rika's clothes.
"Wait, you're talking about sleeping?" said Suguha.
"Yeah, why?" said Kazuto.
Suguha frowned and looked away.
"Onii-chan… dummy." she stormed into the closet, grabbed a few shirts, balled them into a pillow, and dropped her head.
Kazuto sighed and started picking up clothes. She really is a beautiful girl. But I can't let dumb hormones get the better of me, I have to be an adult. And dating my own sister will be the death of me. We just need some time apart. She'll find another guy, someone who deserves that love of hers. Kazuto sighed again as he lay on his makeshift bed. He glanced at Yui, sleeping by herself in a small dusty corner. Well… maybe I can do one right thing. He reached over and gently picked up her body, careful to not wake her. He set Yui beside him on a small mound of socks. Sure, she's a super-advanced AI, but she still acts like a little girl. Well, maybe a preteen. But I don't think she's ever had a real parent, what with having a mad scientist as a father. As a matter of fact, maybe I should talk to her about that. Kayaba probably never let her do anything she wanted. Or to really experience all the amazing things in the world. Yui let out a cute little sigh. Is that why she called me dad? Maybe when this is all over, I'll find a way for her to bring her normal form into the real world. Then she can be a human. Oh, and I'll probably bring Strea too. A silly grin spread across Kazuto's lips. Heh... look at me. I can't even handle my own family, and I'm already thinking about kids. Well, in any case, Yui needs a mother. Maybe I should start putting myself out there...
Just then, Suguha shuffled closer to him and relaxed her head on his chest. From this angle, he could very easily smell her rather unique scent, as well as get a good look at her… assets.
She's your sister. She's your sister. She's your sister. Kazuto repeated this mantra. She'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursisterShe'syoursister!
