Chapter 2
In the cafeteria a short haired girl with a ribbon in hair saw something. She saw a paper fall out of a boy's pocket. The girl didn't hesitate to pick it up. She wanted to return it right away, but she needed to know what to call him. So the girl looked at the name on the papar and gasped.
It's him. It's Fuutaro. Oh my god what do I do? I'm gonna meet him either way. He is our tutor now. There's no way Futaro remembers 's no way he remembers. I mean after all I cut my hair and even Ichika has too. We look so different from back then. Yeah there's NO WAY he remembers. The girl thought before returning the paper.
The girl approached Fuutaro's table and stood on the other side. He didn't even look her way. He just kept eating.
Is he ignoring me or just can't see me? Well either way let's solve both of those. The girl thought.
She then took out the other chair opposite of Fuutaro. Laid her knees on the chair with her body leaning over the table. In this position they are now face to face, but Fuutaro still didn't acknowledge her. The girl then spoke.
"Uesugi-san." The girl said. No response.
"Uesugi-san". The girl said again. No response.
"UESUGI-SAN," The girl yelled. Making Fuutaro make eye contact.
"Wow Uesugi-san I had to yell just to get your attention. Let me ask, have you lost an exam paper with a score of 100 or 0?" The girl asked, waiting for a response. But nothing came.
"Um Uesugi-san did you hear me?" She asked again.
No response.
"Uhhh Uesugi-san are you okay?" The ribbon hair girl asked.
Finally the silent boy spoke.
" What oh, yeah I'm fine. I'm just surprised to see you again is all. It has been five years." Fuutaro answered.
THERE'S NO WAY. HE IMMEDIATELY KNEW IT WAS ME. HOW. I EVEN CUT MY HAIR. RELAX YOTSUBA JUST PLAY DUMB. The girl thought.
"Huh, we've met before Uesugi-san? Are you sure? The girl asked him.
" Yeah, it was 5 years ago in Kyoto. I met you and your sister. One of you saved me from the cops and I played cards with the other. Sorry I probably can't tell you two apart as of now but I can still see you are one of them." Fuutaro answered.
Uh-oh he even remembers Ichika. What should I do? The girl thought.
" Are you sure I'm the right girl? I don't remember you Uesugi-san." The girl said hoping he would believe her.
"How could you remember me? I had totally different hair back then. In fact I think this should help you remember." Fuutaro replied while beginning to dig inside his pocket.
Taking his wallet out of his pocket. He pulled out a picture of what appeared to be a young blonde boy and a girl with long pink hair, wearing a white dress. In the picture the girl had a smile on while the boy had a tough face on. You could also tell that this picture is rather old. The boy then handed the picture to the girl.
The girl looked at the photo and couldn't believe it.
"This was taken 5 years ago in Kyoto. Like I said before I'm sorry I can't tell if it's you or your sister. But I know it's one of you." Fuutaro answered.
Yotsuba realizing there is no way out of this, decided to speak the truth.
"Wow Fuutaro, you have a really good memory. You even remembered my sister who played cards with you." The girl said.
Hearing this confirmation made Fuutaro smile.
"I'm really glad to see you agi-" SOB SOB SOB
Fuutaro stopped talking because the next thing he knew. The girl in front of him broke down in tears.
" Are you okay? Did you not want to meet me again? Fuutaro asked with concern. He was hoping they're reunion would be happy.
" It's not that Fuutaro. You remembered everything. You even remembered to keep your end of the promise while I I I." The girls stopped talking while wiping her tears away.
So she couldn't keep her end of the promise but at least she remembered me. Futaro thought before speaking.
"Promise? We made a promise? Sorry, to be completely honest I only remember you and your sister. And just the faces I don't even remember your names let alone this promise you're talking about sorry." Fuutaro answered, praying she would believe his lie.
This shocked the crying girl.
Wait so he doesn't remember our promise. If he doesn't remember, that means I still have a chance, Yotsuba thought.
The girl immediately did a 360 in attitude, wiped away all her tears and started talking in a cheerful tone.
" You never answered my question Fuutaro, did you lose a test with an exam score of 100 or 0?" She asked him with her new happy tone.
" Oh, my test. The one with a 100 on it. " He answered. A little surprised at how fast she changed her demeanor.
" I shall reward you with both." The girls said while handing Fuutaro both.
"I don't really need both, especially a zero one. Whose exam is this? Fuutaro asked her. While looking at the wrong answers.
"It's mine." The girl replied instantly.
After hearing this Fuutaro then took a look at the name. Yotsuba Nakano. Well this just confirmed my theories. Fuutaro thought.
"You know Yotsuba-chan. I am going to be your and your sister's tutor later today. So I expect this to be the last zero that you ever get." He told her.
" You're really going to be our tutor Fuutaro. I look forward to being your student." Yotsuba said with a cheerful smile.
RING RING RING
The belt went off signifying lunch was now over.
"Well I'll see you after school Yotsuba-chan." Futaro said while getting up to leave.
"Wait Fuutaro. Where do we meet up? I'm still a little new to this school?" Yotsuba asked him.
"Oh just at the main entrance in front of the school." He replied leaving the girl and cafeteria behind.
Thank God he forgot about the promise. Yotsuba kept thinking as she walked to her class.
RING RING RING
The last bell of the day went off. Meaning school was now over.
Itsuki packed her things and went to her tutor's desk.
"Uesugi-kun umm I have something important to tell you." She asked very nervously.
"Let me guess, starting today I'm going to tutor you and your sisters. " Fuutaro answered confidently.
" Wait, you already know, how?" Itsuki replied quickly.
"Your dad told me this morning. Oh and actually I'm on cleaning duty today for the class so could you wait at the front of the school for roughly 15 minutes. Sorry about this." Fuutaro asked. Hoping it wouldn't upset her.
"No problem with me there Uesugi-kun." Itsuki replied while leaving the class.
Itsuki started to make her way to the front of the school before being joined by her 4 sisters.
"There you are. Quickly we have to go home before that loser sees you." Nino said to Itsuki while grabbing her hand.
"Actually I'm going to wait at the front of the school for our tutor." Itsuki replied while jerking her arm from Nino.
"Ugh Itsuki stop being so stubborn. " Nino told her.
" And you need to stop acting like we have perfect grades. Remember Nino we transferred here because of a reason." Itsuki replied.
This comment shocked 3 out of 4 sisters. Not one of them ever suspected Itsuki to say that. Ichika was about to speak up but Yotsuba beat her to it.
"Itsuki is right. We came here because of me. Sure we're all struggling, but they only told me to transfer. Not you girls. But now I'm grateful for it." Yotsuba said with a small smile.
"Why are you grateful for being dumb?" said a girl with headphones around her neck.
"Because Miku, since we are struggling we got Fuutaro as our tutor. I met with him during lunch and I can tell he will be a good tutor." Yotsuba replied.
"Ara, you even called him by first name. Looks like you have some competition now Itsuki-chan." Ichika stated in a teasing tone. Making both of her little sisters blush.
"Look, if you want to hang out with a loser after school, be my guest. I'm out of here." Nino said before leaving with Ichika and Miku following.
"Aww I was hoping all five of us could study together. Oh well. Come on Yotsuba, let's go to where Uesugi is meeting us." Itskui said. With Yotsuba nodding her head and following.
With the two girls now at the front of the school, Itsuki spoke up.
"Yotsuba, you said you met with Uesugi during lunch. I'm assuming it went well?" She asked her sister.
"It went great, Itsuki. Me and Fuutaro-" Yotsuba stopped talking when she saw Futaro walking towards them.
"Hello girls. Thanks for waiting." Fuutaro told the two sisters.
"No problem." They both replied.
"Aren't there more of you girls? Your father told me I was going to start tutoring you all today?" Fuutaro asked the two.
"They went home. I tried to tell them to stay but they didn't listen." Itsuki replied.
"Well that's no good. I told your father I was going to tutor all of you. And I can't do that if one is missing." Fuutaro said.
"I just thought of an amazing idea, Fuutaro. Why don't you come and tutor us at our house? That way we can all try to convince them to join us. I'm sure with all three of us, we can convince them. " Yotsuba proposed to Fuutaro.
" Only if it's okay with Itsuki?" He answered looking at her.
" Yes, of course it's okay, Uesugi-kun." Itskui said.
"Lead the way." Fuutaro said while gesturing to the girls, to start walking.
The trio made their way out of school and into the streets. Yotsuba decided to break the silence.
"Fuutaro, do you know if there are any good female sports at the school?" Yotsuba asked curiously.
"I'm not too sure but our basketball, soccer and track teams are pretty good. Last year they even made the playoffs. Basketball is the only sport in season though. Are you interested in joining sports Yotsuba-chan?" Fuutaro asked her.
"Hai, I love working out and meeting new people." Yotsuba replied cheerfully.
"You do know if you join a sport that makes you a student athlete. Not just a student. Can you handle all that?" Fuutaro asked her.
"Of course I can. I run really fast." Yotsuba replied.
Fuutaro just chuckled at her response. He then talked to Itsuki.
"What about you, Itsuki? Thinking of joining any sports or clubs maybe? He asked her.
"Oh um not really. Yotsuba is the only athletic one in the family. Plus I just want to focus on school." Itsuki replied.
"Nice you have priorit-" Fuutaro had no other choice but to stop talking because of what he was hearing. GGGRRRRRRRR. Was the sound all 3 could hear coming from Itsuki's stomach. Once the grumbling stopped. Fuutaro looked at Itsuki who was redder than her hair, while holding back his laughter.
"Itsuki did your belly just grum-"
"NO IT DIDN'T." Itsuki yelled as she sprinted towards her home, more embarrassed than ever.
The two teens left behind looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh. Before running after Itsuki themselves.
With Yotsuba leading the way the two eventually got to the Pentagon. They met with Itsuki who was still trying to catch her breath at the front door.
Fuutaro then looks at the girl before speaking up.
"Ready for tutoring?" He asked Itsuki who turned a little red when making eye contact.
"Of course." Itsuki replied while recomposing herself.
The 3 then took the elevator to the top floor penthouse.
"Wow, a house on the top floor. You weren't kidding when you said money wasn't an issue, Itsuki." Fuutaro told her.
"Well our dad is one of the best doctors. He even runs the whole hospital on his own." Itsuki replied while opening the door to the penthouse.
"I'm home." Both sisters yelled. Entering the house, they both noticed that 2 of 3 of their sisters were in the living room.
"So you took my advice and actually left the loser thank god." Nino told her sisters.
"Umm Nino." Itsuki said, embarrassed, while she let Fuutaro in the house.
"Ahh, why would you bring him here?" Nino said as she quickly got up and ran upstairs to her room.
"You really should have given us a heads up." Miku said before copying Nino. Leaving just the trio behind.
"Sorry about that Uesugi. They don't like the idea of having a tutor." Itsuki said a little embarrassed of her sisters.
Fuutaro just stood there with a surprised and confused face. It took him a second before speaking up. "I thought you were triplets not quadruplets?" He asked the girls.
"Actually we're not quadruplets either, we're quintuplets." Itsuki replied.
"Wait so there's 5 of you girls not 4." Futaro said. Realizing his tutoring is about to become a lot harder.
"Hai, the last one you haven't seen is our oldest sister Ichika. She's most likely in her room sleeping." Yotsuba answered.
Wow so there's actually 5 of them. Also those two didn't give me the same feeling when I first saw Yotsuba. I guess this Ichika is the other one I met in the past. Fuutaro thought to himself.
Fuutaro looked around the penthouse, amazed at what he saw. He then noticed a table surrounded by a L-shaped couch. This should work. Fuutaro thought to himself.
"Umm Uesugi-kun, is it okay if I eat a quick snack before the tutoring session?" Itsuki bashfully asked Fuutaro.
"Yeah that's fine. It gives me a chance to go introduce myself to the rest of your sisters. Who knows, maybe I'll be lucky enough and they'll join us. Um Yotsuba-chan, can you take me to their rooms?" Fuutaro replied.
"No problem Fuutaro. Follow me." Yotsuba said.
Yotsuba led them to the top of the stairs where 5 doors were seen down the hall.
"These are our rooms, Fuutaro. Starting from the left it goes Itsuki, me, Miku, Nino, and lastly Ichika." Yotsuba explained to Fuutaro.
Fuutaro then made his way to the middle door before knocking twice. No response. He knocked again a little harder before the door opened revealing a girl who looked exactly like her sister. The few differences he noticed was her hair. Unlike her sisters this girl covered half her face with her red hair. She also had blue headphones around her neck and a blue sweater over her uniform.
"Hi, you must be Miku. I'm Fuutaro Uesugi and your father hired me to be your tutor. It's nice to meet you." Fuutaro said.
Miku didn't say anything, she just stared at Futaro.
"Uhh, would you like to join me and your sisters downstairs? We're just about to start a lesson." Fuutaro asked her.
"No offense Fuutaro but I don't really support the idea of having another student tutor me. Not to mention I'm busy at the moment." Miku told him, while slowly closing the door.
Before she fully closed it, Fuutaro caught the door.
"Now hold on Miku. You said you were busy, what more important than studying." He asked her.
"This." Miku answered while showing him a QS5 controller.
Oh she likes playing video games. Huh. Fuutaro thought before speaking. "Oh so you play video games. I do too, so how about we make a bet? He asked Miku.
"What kind of bet?" Miku told him.
"I bet I can beat you in any game that you pick and if I do, would you please join us for tutoring." Fuutaro said.
"What happens if I win?" She asked, wondering.
"I'll stop bothering you today." He answered her.
"Any game I pick right?" Miku asked .
"Any game." Fuutaro said.
"Alright come in." Miku said while opening the door letting him in.
"Uhh, are you sure about this Fuutaro? Miku spends a lot of time playing." Yotsuba asked her tutor.
"Relax Yotsuba-chan, I used to play a lot of games before becoming a studyholic." He told her while entering the room.
"So what game are we playing?" Fuutaro asked Miku, who looked through all her games.
"This one. It's a sengoku based fighting game. You choose 2 fighters and fight to the death." Miku said while handing him the game.
"I've never played this game. Can you give me a few minutes to read the instructions on how to play?" Fuutaro asked her.
"Alright." Miku replied.
Futaro then read all the instructions on how to play.
"All right, I'm ready. Since it's my first time playing this game, can we do best out of three?" He asked Miku.
"If you want to lose twice, that's fine with me." Miku answered pretty confidently.
Miku then inserted the game and their bet began. The first round went to Miku with Fuutaro only being able to take down half of one of her players' health.
"Damn. You're pretty good at this game Miku." Fuutaro told her.
Miku didn't respond to his comment, but a smile was visible on her face.
Before the second round started Miku decided to change up her characters while Fuutaro kept the same. Because of this he barely managed to win the second round, surprising Miku.
"I let you win." Was all Miku said.
"All right, time for the one that matters." Fuutaro told Miku.
With the final round about a start Miku went back to the original character she started with, while Fuutaro kept the same again. Once the match began both teens put on a serious face. Both teens also leaned forward to get closer to the T.V screen. It eventually came down to both of them having one character left with both characters only having around 10 health.
Miku was about to go in for the kill but what happened next shocked her. Fuutaro's character dodged the attack. Next she heard a bunch of buttons being pressed from Fuutaro. Which resulted in his character doing a secret finisher beating Miku.
Miku dropped the controller from her hands as she couldn't believe it. She just lost. She then realized how she lost. " You cheated. I've been playing this game for almost a year and I've never seen that move used before." Miku stated.
"Really. It's in the instructions on the last page." He said opening to the last page and showing her.
"Oh, I never bothered to read it." Miku said a little embarrassed, looking at the page.
"Well then, your first lesson could be on this. Not all characters have secret finishes, just some as you can see. You also need to be in critical health in order to do it. And most important you need to know the button order to press. That one character you used has a secret finisher actually. So how about a rematch, now that we both know about secret finishers?" He asked her.
Miku didn't even answer, she just picked up the controller ready to go.
Just like the last round, it came down to the last fighters in critical health. Fuutaro charged up his stamina and went in for the secret finisher. Miku was ready for this though and was just able to dodge it.
"No way." Fuutaro said right before Miku hit her secret finisher on him ending the match.
"I shouldn't have told you about them." Fuutaro said disappointed he lost the match.
Miku laughed a bit due to his comment before speaking to him. " Thank you Fuutaro. I don't think I ever would have figured out this game has secret finishers."
"What, oh no problem. Also don't forget I won our bet. So what do you say? Will you join me and your sisters for tutoring? We could even cover history today and talk about all the wars during the sengoku era." He asked hoping she would accept.
"I do enjoy learning about it, even though some people find it really lame." Miku said.
"Lame, it's the total opposite of lame. To be honest I wish more people would study it." Fuutaro answered.
Miku sat there thinking about his proposal and what he just said. "Alright I'll join the tutoring session Fuutaro." She said to him,
"Great, we're going to start in roughly 5 minutes. So can you get your school supplies and head to the living room? He asked Miku.
Miku nodded her head, and with that Fuutaro left her room, closing the door behind him.
In the room by herself Miku was left thinking. He likes this sengoku era and he even didn't make fun of me for liking them or having a game about them. He also taught me something, even though it was from a video game. Miku thought. One of Miku's biggest fears in life is that someone would find out she likes the sengoku era and she would get made fun of for it. But the first person to find out about her interest didn't make fun of her. It was actually the total opposite. This made Miku smile before she spoke to herself. "I guess having Fuutaro as our tutor won't be so bad after all." She said as she grabbed her backpack.
With Fuutaro out of Miku's room Yotsuba approached asking him a question."How did it go?" She asked him.
"It went great. She'll be joining us. Now for the next one." Fuutaro answered her. Walking to the next door.
"Um Fuutaro, you might want to prepare yourself first." Yotsuba told him.
Fuutaro didn't get what she meant by that. So he continued walking to Nino's door and proceeded to knock on it. No response. He knocked on it again a little harder. Once again no response. Then he hit it as hard as he could, causing the door to open quickly.
"Hi, you must be Nino. I'm Fuutaro Uesugi and your dad hired me to be you tut-" SLAM. Futaro was cut off by the door slamming right in his face.
"Sorry Fuutaro, Nino doesn't really want a tutor." Yotsuba told Fuutaro who was still in front of Nino's door.
Fuutaro then proceeded to keep banging on the door until she opened it again. Once she opened it, he got a good look at her. Her face and body were the same as her sisters but her hair was much longer and she also had two ribbons in her hair.
"I thought you were supposed to be smart. Can't you see. I don't want you to tutor me." Nino said in a pissed tone.
"Aww come on Nino your father personally chose me to be your tutor." Fuutaro told her.
"Really, here's my answer to that." SLAM, Nino once again slammed the door in Fuutaro's face.
"Wow she's something." Fuutaro told Yotsuba.
"I tried to warn you. Don't take it personally Fuutaro. Nino is like this to everyone she first meets, but I'm sure Ichika will join us." Yotsuba replied.
After hearing this both made their way to the final door.
So this is the other girl I met in the past huh. Fuutaro thought to himself before knocking.
No response. He knocked again and again and still had no response.
"She must be sleeping. Please watch your step when we go inside Fuutaro. Ickiha doesn't have the cleanest room." Yotsuba told him while opening the door.
When they walked in Fuutaro couldn't believe it. It was the dirtiest room he's ever seen. You couldn't even see the floor, it was just clothes piled on top of more clothes.
"Oh my God something lives in here." Was all Fuutaro could say.
"I wish you wouldn't talk like my room is unclaimed territory or something." A female voice from the bed said.
Fuutaro then approached the bed to see who said it. To no one's surprise it was a teenage girl who looked exactly like his other students except this one had very short hair and one earring on. One look at her face was all Fuutaro needed. Yep, it's her. Fuutaro thought.
"Hello Ichika, I'm Fuutaro Uesugi, your tutor hired by your dad. I'm about to start a lesson with your sisters. Care to join us?" Fuutaro told Ichika.
"I'm sorry Fuutaro-kun but this bed is much more interesting than tutoring. If you want you can join me and see." She replied to him.
" Come on Ichika-chan, can't you be more lenient with your childhood friend." Fuutaro said. Hoping she would remember him.
" I'm sorry Fuutaro-kun, but I think you convinced me with some other girl you met. I don't remember meeting a boy like you in the past." Ichika replied, still in bed.
"I'll save us both some time right now." Fuutaro said while reaching for his wallet. And just like with Yotsuba he handed her the same picture.
When Ichika looked at the picture her eyes widened. She saw the boy she fell in love with 5 years ago and her sister. Still not believing it was him she immediately got defensive. " Fuutaro-kun, why do you have this? It doesn't belong to you." Ichika said in a serious tone.
"Do I really look that different with blonde hair, maybe I should go back to it." Fuutaro said.
Yotsuba, who was witnessing the whole thing, decided to speak up." It's him Ichika, it's really him." She said.
After hearing this, Ichika started picturing the smaller Fuutaro with black hair and vice versa.
"I see." Was all Ichika said. Ichika stayed quiet for a few seconds before a quick smile appeared on her face."Mmm I all of a sudden feel like studying." She said,
"Great but first you need to get out of bed." Fuutaro said while pulling the blanket on Ichika to help her get up.
"WAIT FUUTARO-KUN I'M NOT WEARING ANYTHING UNDER." Ichika yelled. This statement made the boy instantly let go of it and back up.
"That was close." Ichika said covering most of herself up, failing to realize one of her breasts is almost showing.
Fuutaro couldn't help but take a quick look. But that quick look turned more into a stare. Once Ichika noticed where Futaro was staring at, a huge grin came on her face.
"Fufu, what are you looking at Fuutaro-kun?" Ichika asked him. Already knowing the answer.
"Just get dressed and meet me downstairs." Fuutaro said with a small blush on his cheeks before leaving the room immediately.
"Umm Ichika I know you're happy to see Fuutaro again. But by any chance do you still lov-" Yotsuba was cut off by her sister.
"I do. I love him still and something tells me you do too." Ichika said
Outside the room Fuutaro was alone with his thoughts. Oh my god, I knew they were big but that's something else. And each one of them has breasts like that. This is going to be a lot harder than I thought.
Fuutaro's thoughts came to a stop when he heard a door open with two girls coming out.
" Are you girls ready?" He asked them.
"Hai." They both replied.
Fuutaro then walked in front of Nino's door before stopping.
"Are you sure about that Fuutaro? You might just piss her off more." Yotsuba said, realizing what he was about to do.
Fuutaro knocked on the door anyway and just like last time, no response. Trying once more he decided to talk instead of knocking. " Nino, are you sure you don't want to join the tutoring session? The rest of your sisters agreed and I don't want you to get left out." He asked the door.
"Boy you're persistent aren't you and nice try. I know for a fact Ichika is in the next room sleeping." Nino said from her room without opening the door.
"Um Nino." Ichika said loud enough for her sister on the other side of the door to hear.
"There's no way." Nino said right before opening the door. "You seriously want this guy to tutor us." She asked her two sisters who were present. They both nodded with their heads in response. " Ugh, fine, but the second you're done tutoring, you're leaving our house, got it." Nino said, pointing her finger at Fuutaro.
"Great, we're going to start any minute so please grab your school supplies and meet us in the living room." Fuutaro told her. Before making his way to the living room.
Once Fuutaro got to the living room he went to the table surrounded by the L-shaped couch to start the lesson. He sat down and almost immediately Yotsuba and Ichika sat next to him, leaving him in between them. Itskui sat right across from him with Miku on her left and Nino on her right.
"Now that we're all here let me introduce myself again. I'm Fuutaro Uesugi, your tutor hired by your dad." Fuutaro told them all.
"We already know who you are." Nino stated.
"Right. Well today is going to be an easy day. I didn't expect to have five students so I'm a few worksheets short. So how about we just study history for a bit and then call it a day." Fuutaro said.
With none of the sisters objecting, Fuutaro began the tutoring session. Just like he promised Miku, Fuutaro talked about the wars during the sengoku era. The tutoring was going on for about an hour until one had enough.
"I'm getting a drink from the fridge. Do you girls want any?" Nino said while getting up from the table.
They all said yes and told Nino what they wanted from the fridge. She then looked at Fuutaro before smiling." Do you want anything Uesugi?" Nino asked.
Fuutaro was shocked at first, he never expected her to ask him that. It took him a second to answer. " Uh yeah, water would be fine. Thank you Nino. While we're at it, let's take a quick 10 minute break before our last session." He said.
All the girls immediately dropped their pencils when they heard Fuutaro say those words.
"I'll be right back." Nino said before making her way to the fridge.
"Fuutaro, how much longer are we going to study for?" Asked Miku.
"Well after this little break, probably one more hour and then we're done." He answered.
"Mmmm another hour, onee-chan needs some sleep first." Ichika said.
The next thing Fuutaro knew he felt weight on his left shoulder. He looked over to see what it was. To his surprise it was Ichika who was already sleeping on his shoulder. "Um, Ichika-chan, are you that tired?" He asked her. Fuutaro didn't get a response. Instead he heard a very light snore that turned into calm breathing. " Wow, she actually fell asleep." He said. Leaving her on his shoulder.
"I can wake her up for you, Fuutaro?" Asked Miku.
"It's fine, if she's this tired, let her sleep." He replied. The very next moment Fuutaro felt another weight on his free shoulder. He looked over to see Yotsuba doing the same thing as her sister. "Umm, are you also tired, Yotsuba-chan?" He asked her. Getting the same reaction as Ichika. He rolled his eyes before letting them both stay on his shoulders. Completely unaware both of them were faking it.
Flashback to Yotsuba and Ichika in the room when Futaro left.
"I do. I love him still and something tells me you do too." Ichika told her sister.
There was a long pause from Yotsuba before she spoke up. " I see, well in that case I'll be rooting for you and I'll even help you. Knowing you, Ichika, you can easily make Uesugi-san your boyfriend." She said,
"Yotsuba what are you doing?" Ichika asked her sister with concern.
"I'm gonna help you. You and Uesugi-san will make a great couple." She told Ichika.
"And what about you?" Ichika asked her.
"Don't worry about me. After all I don't even deserve t-SLAP." Yotsuba stopped talking due to Ichika slapping her in the face. She just stood there stunned and confused at what Ichika just did.
"Baka, I don't know what made you think you don't deserve happiness, but you do. We both want to be with the boy we fell in love with, who doesn't want that." Ichika told Yotsuba.
" But what happens if one of us does something wrong? We both love him, we both want to be with him. Love can make you do crazy things." Yotsuba replied.
"I do agree with you on that. But you also know that I love you too right. I love you, I love our sisters, I even love Father a little bit. That is never going to change, even for Fuutaro." Ichika said.
"Really?" Was all Yotsuba replied with.
"Really. You also said you're worried one of us will do something wrong. So how about we promise each other right now to play fair. We both love him, so let's just follow our hearts." Ichika said.
"Playing fair and following our hearts. I like the sound of that." Yotsuba said. With a fresh smile on her face.
"Just don't be too upset when onee-chan wins." Ichika told her.
"Don't get too confident, you couldn't even remember it was him." Yotsuba shot back.
Both sisters smiled as they were able to overcome the elephant in the room.
Flashback Ends
"Uesugi-kun, are you sure they're not bothering you." Itsuki asked her tutor who was sandwiched in between her sisters.
"It's fine. It really is." He replied.
"They just met you today so I don't want you to feel uncomfortable if they overstepped their boundaries." Itsuki explained to her tutor.
"It's fine and actually I've met these two before. It isn't my first time meeting them." Fuutaro told her.
"Wait, when did you meet our sisters Fuutaro?" Miku asked immediately.
"It happened 5 years ago in Kyoto. I went to Kyoto just for vacation. I'm assuming you girls did the same and that's when I met these two knuckleheads. It may have just been a pure coincidence but again meeting each other in high school. I guess you can call it faith." He explained to Miku and Itsuki.
"Oh so you're the boy they met back then. For like a month after our vacation they kept talking about this boy they met. Who would have thought that boy would be you." Itsuki said.
"Umm Fuutaro, You said it might be faith, does this mean you like one of our sisters?" Miku asked, hoping he would deny it.
"Good question, to be honest there was a time where I thought I like them hell maybe even love them. But as I got older I realized I was more appreciative of what they did to me. Both of them help me in many ways that they'll never know. I'm just really grateful to have met them back then and even more grateful to meet them again. Plus we met 5 years ago, let alone we were kids, so if I did fall in love with them back then. I'd want to fall in love with them again in the present. " He replied, unaware that the two girls he was talking about heard everything.
"Wow I didn't know you had history with my sister's Uesugi-kun." Itsuki replied. Aww I thought I was the first one he met. Itsuki thought to herself.
"Yeah small wor-" "WHAT ARE YOU TWO DOING!"
Fuutaro what's cut off from talking by Nino yelling.
Having her hands full with a plate of drinks, Nino got in between Fuutaro and his sisters to force them off each other.
"Do you two know what you're doing? You'll make him think he actually has a chance with you." Nino told her sisters while passing out the drinks.
"Fufu, is this true Fuutaro-kun? You're now gonna go after onee-chan." Ichika told Fuutaro in a teasing tone.
"That doesn't matter right now, what matters is finishing the lesson and speaking of which break time is over." He replied while chugging his water and reopening his book. The girls did the same.
"Alright so back then they used t-YAWN. Oh sorry about that, they u-YAWN." Fuutaro was unable to speak. For some odd reason he was feeling very sleepy, he could barely open his eyes and it was getting worse by the second.
Itsuki who was in front of Fuutaro saw how bad his condition was." Are you okay Uesugi-kun? You don't look the best." She said, worried for her tutor.
"Yeah I'm just very, very sleep-zzzzzz." Fuutaro was unable to finish a sentence due to him collapsing over on the table.
Immediately Yotsuba and Ichika tapped him on the shoulder to see if he was okay. They got no response. They got a little more aggressive but the same outcome.
"HE'S DEAD." Yotsuba yelled.
"He's not dead, he's just asleep." Nino told them all.
"How do you know he's just asleep? What did you do, Nino?" Ichika asked her.
Smirking before speaking" I might have put a sleeping drug in his drink hehe." Nino replied, acting as she did nothing wrong.
"YOU DID WHAT!" All the sisters yelled.
"Relex girls, I was getting rid of the problem. Also could one of you call Ebata-san. We don't know where he lives but we can leave him at the school and he can find his own way ho-"SLAP. Nino couldn't finish her sentence due to Itsuki slapping her across the face.
Itsuki right in front of Ninos face, spoke up."You better apologize." She told her.
All remaining sisters we're shocked, they never expected that to happen.
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU SLAP ME. WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU ITSUKI." Nino yelled back while holding her red cheek.
"WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME? WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU. YOU JUST COMMITTED A CRIME AND ACT LIKE ITS OKAY." Itsuki yelled.
"I agree with Itsuki, Nino you took it a step too far." Miku said joining the conversation.
"What if Fuutaro doesn't forgive you Nino?" Yotsuba added.
"WAIT. WHY THE HELL ARE YOU DEFENDING HIM OVER ME. I'M YOUR SISTER. Nino yelled at them.
"Nino, that has nothing to do with the current situation. It also doesn't change what you did." Ichika said.
"SCREW ALL OF YOU. TAKING HIS SIDE OVER MINE. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU. HE'S NOT EVEN CUTE." Nino yelled before storming off into her room and slamming the door shut. It's already happening. He's getting in between us and they're even choosing him over me. Nino thought before a few tears left her eyes.
