Usually, my daily travel to school with my bike is uneventful and some time too late for student alike, and even then, I was still moving lazily slow and only as fast as a snail before getting lectured by Hiratsuka-sensei when I arrived. However today, I went to school really morning, without my bike to add my horror, while inside my heart I seriously really wanting to get to school as fast as possible.

I'm not a person who would care about my hair usually, but I can say for sure that my hair is too messy for my standard. And don't even want to start about shiki's pink hair. It's just like seeing a comical flower replacing her hair...

Man, this is still too morning and the day were already this hectic...

"...is that so, H-Hachi-kun?"

I said it out loud didn't I?

Seeing her guilty and saddened face, I kept my face neutral and opened my mouth, "well, as long as I can keep you safe, I'm not complaining about it. And well, this is basically a good reason to be paranoid as heck at you, right?"

Well, it's true. I kinda feel nostalgic from our misfortunes this morning...

She then just casted a dead stare at me, enticing a chuckle from my mouth while I brushed a few leaves that got stuck on her head and tidying up her really messy hair, which apparently just make her pouting at me. It seems like she got even more annoyed huh.

"I still remember how I was the one who always taking care of you who just cried behind me..." She grumpily muttered, making her puffy blushing cheek moving slightly.

"Oh how the table turns now..." I said proudly, trying to hide the embarrassment from being reminded that I was quite a crybaby back then.

"Are you really saying that to hide that your ears are complete red?"

"Wha-? No, shut up. We almost arrived to the school, let's move again."

"Hai, tomato-san!" Ugh, you're lucky you're my cousin.

I the ignored her remark while thinking about the illogically bad situation we've faced this far. Two flying newspaper almost hit her face; luckily I was able to catch it. Another car almost ran over us again. A dog barked and almost chasing us, thanks to her bad affinity with canine kind. And when we stop over to rest, a falling tree's branch almost hit her head before we slipped together on a wet sideway.

My butt is still sore...

I may be not a guy who loves something that included adrenaline pumping or body exercising, but somehow, I didn't find this much of bad luck is irritating or tiring, rather, I most likely enjoyed it since I finally could protect Shiki and not the other way around.

All of sudden, I felt my clothes being tugged and snapping my mind out of my reverie. I then realized that I almost being ran over by a car. Turning around, I saw Shiki griping my blazer from behind while sighing in relief. It seems like I still need her to protect me after all...

"What are you smiling at, Hachi-kun? You're almost being run over by a car, remember. Do you really wanted to kill yourself to go to the another world?" Uh-oh, it seems like old violent Shiki is back to lecture me.

I need to remember at no matter how much she became much more feminine now, she was still the Shiki who could beat ten kids who is older than her back then and I definitely think that she could still do it again to our senpais. How I know it? Don't ask, I just don't want to remember that refusing her hug and 'sleeping together' offer is unhealthy for my stomach...

But still, talking about sleeping together is too embarrassing for me and dangerous for my mental state, but I still had to endure it since I don't want her to cry again. Well, it was at the very least normal for cousins to do that... right?

"You're day dreaming again, Hachi-kun." She paused, sighing in exasperation, "What are actually you're thinking about that make you almost got hit by a car?"

"I'm thinking about you."

...

Wut?

...

Wut did me jus say?

She was blushing madly as tomato head, me brain was definitely ded, the road is still empty, and a dog behind us barking loudly.

Oh, shit!

With that, I ignored my blunder and went to carry her body up in bridal position, before casting Joseph Joestar greatest skill.

Run.

She of course yelped and quite possibly ignored the dog as her brain still processing whatever stupid thing I'd said before. Goddamnit, this is as heavy as I expected!

"I-I'm not fat, Hachi-kun! And what the hell is that!?"

"Sorry and I don't know! Why don't you blame it to someone who decided to tightly hugging me for the entire night?!"

I swear that her head could explode at any moment right now and I'm pretty much sure after my brain finally working properly, I was no better than her. But that's literally the less thing I wanted to think about right now since her natural enemy is currently behind us, goddamnit! And why don't you help me by running with your own feet, woman?! I could felt my hand begin to numb damn it!

"Once again, I'm not fat, Hachi-kun!" She managed to say behind her hands that currently covering her entire crimson face.

I then managed to make our way until we almost reached the school before she noticed that we're just actually being chased by a tiny Chihuahua and quickly stopped to take a breathe. Luckily, only a few people were already in school so we don't need to save our own face from embarrassment. Though, we still need a time to tidy up our disheveled clothes and hair.

And Shiki, I swear I'm not thinking of your weight, it's just your hair that looks so funny damnit!

OooOooO

Hum~ Hum~ Hummm~

"Having Shiki-nee around here is clearly a great thing for Onii-chan-"

Whoops, it seems like I thought it out loud!

But how I'm not? My beloved Onii-chan will be just like how he was when we were just a child! I was definitely misses his precious smile from back then! Especially the way he was being such a crybaby back then, hehehe...

"But isn't it gonna be bad for Yukino-chan and Yui-chan? Poor them..."

OooOooO

One may think that was my greatest enemy is Yukinoshita Yukino, the beautiful ice queen of Sobu. Everyone could say that I and Yukinoshita always look like having some hostility that could make the entire room went cold just from the way we tried to slid each other's throat with words alone.

However, they are actually wrong. Well, partly since Yukinoshita is still can be considered as ONE of my greatest nemesis.

However, up until now, any of the bosses I had faced are never resorting to physical violence. Yes everyone, I never considered sensei as my nemesis. It's just make me felt too guilty since she is too weak to any kind of age and single insult even though she is basically as strong as a raging gorilla.

Anyway back to the main topic, this greatest enemy of mine could also inflict a physical and extreme mental damage on me. It's not like the same mental damage in a form of insult like Yukinoshita's one but it still stronger nonetheless.

And to be exact, I didn't hate this person to death even though we could say we're a nemesis and in fact, I loved her dearly that even the said love could even be compared to my love for Komachi. Hard to admit it, but it's true.

And actually, this said person has never directly hurted me in any way. It's just that we always leave a disaster behind when we are together.

"Don't be picky, Hachi-kun. What are you, a child? Are you still the same crybaby?"

...well, not every time...

"You're one to talk for someone who illegally smuggled their carrot to my bento."

"It's not picky if someone still eats it." What the heck woman. Why did you sounds like a bearded old wizard who spew nonsense to people and think he was wise?

I sighed, "Fine, but you will eat my tomatoes."

"Hachi-kun, eating a tomato is good for your eyesight and I bet it'll help your fish eyes." She grinned proudly as if what she said could saved the entire humanity's biggest problem

"Now that was mean, pinkhead."

"P-Pinkhead!? Don't you have any better insult to spout?"

"Pinkgorilla...?"

"Once again, I'm not a gorilla, Hachi-kun!" Face flaming red, she pouted without having any resemblance to the saiyan people. Well, I guess that name is actually stupid...

"But your physical ability and tendencies says otherwise..."

"Well, at least I have a gut rather than you, Little Kitty." Wha-

"Hey, I'm not a scaredy cat, you Pink Disaster!"

And she ended up looking at me hurtfully while didn't say any single word. Damnit...

Well, it was always like this since we're child. In verbal fight, I can always dominate her, but if it was related to physical strength, she was the one who always have the upper hand. However, it seems like I forgot that in the front of me wasn't Yukinoshita Yukino but Mori Shiki and I went overboard with my insult.

Our exchanges stopped as we silently eat our respective bento. Until I took the carrot, which is her less favorable food, from her bento, which was of course, surprised her.

She looked at me questioningly, but I avoided it guiltily while munching the carrot inside my mouth. We keep silence for a few moments, until I finally met my gaze with her.

"S-Sorry, I guess I was too mean, so..."

I then lifted my pinky in front of her and I'm sure right now that my face was fully crimson like a tomato. Stop blinking and just accept my pinky apologize, woman! This is way too embarrassing! Please just take it! I don't even know why I did this, damnit!

And saving me out of drowning from embarrassment, she linked her own pinky onto mine and smiled beautifully while her elbow was propping up her cheek. Scratch it, that smile didn't save me from embarrassment at all. How could you be this cute and cool at the same time!? What kind of power is that!?

"...ice cream...?" I meekly asked.

"Ice cream." She nodded with understanding smile and we quickly finished our dish.

I was the one who quick to finish it and clearly wanted to get out of this place to calm myself down. I need a few seconds away from here, dear god. However, due to some kind of god intervention, I slipped and fall down to the floor. Curse god.

But instead of thud I had expected to come, I could only hear the sound of breathes and feel a hot breeze right next to my ear. I quickly looked up to find the face of my beloved cousin who looks stern and concerned while pair of fierce pink's eyes staring straight to my eyes.

Somehow... from this angle... she looks... so cool...

"Look who is the one who got saved now, Hachi-kun." We then keep silence for a moment as I tried to process what just happened before her thin line mouth turned into a mocking smirk, "Heh, from someone who refused to sleep together, you seems liked my shoulder that much, Hachi-kun."

When I was describing my arch-nemesis, I forgot to add the part where we always end up in a weird situation didn't I?

My head was rested on her shoulder while I was in semi-bridal carry position since my feet were still touching the floor. I blinked for several time before silently stood by myself and walk away without saying any word or giving any glance at her. What I need right now is to get the goddamn hell out of this place.

I could hear she chuckled sweetly while following me behind, but I closed the door before she could even step out of the class and kneeled down while covering my crimson face like a damsel.

This is why she's my greatest boss that I could never win against. She don't have any incredible trait, she's just naturally debuffed me while her attack always ignored my impenetrable defense and effectively one-shot my entire heart point. Ugh... she's too dangerous to let alive!

Afterwards, she dragged me to somewhere and we both end up getting an ice cream while she endlessly teasing me.

Meanwhile in the classroom.

"Whoa, did I just seeing a real thing?" Ooka shouted in surprise.

"Yeah, man. I never thought they're really close. Damn." Yamato followed.

"H-Hikki said they're actually a cousin yesterday." Yuigahama joined in, but the worry and somewhat jealousy was visible on her face.

"For real! Man I thought they're couple, like, that's totally lovey-dovey man! I legit got diabetes now!" And then Tobe exclaimed loudly, which putting Yuigahama even more down than before.

Seeing Yuigahama become even gloomier, Yumiko kicked Tobe and glared at him menacingly. But then all of sudden, Yuigahama slapped her own cheek while her eyes shine once again and her cheerfulness coming back.

OooOooO

Yahoo...

Here's new chapter, I hope you guys enjoyed it.

Yes it was much shorter, I know, well I have lot things to do this past week and honestly, I actually wanted this fic to be a much lighter and fluffier and the last two chapter was only that long for the premise. Still, hope you guys enjoy this.

Is there will be any plot? Yes, I think but I don't think there will be any drama in here (god, please don't make me contradict this in the future)

And seriously, I actually really surprised to see how everyone liked and enjoyed this fic so far and made me really excited to write even more.

Anyway, tobe is a man of culture in this chapter and I wanted to make shiki assert her dominance even more. Long live badass girl even though it ain't wong.

For grammar and stuff, I apologize if the grammars annoy you but I will still revise them when I'd a time. Thanks for the review and see you next time.
