Miyuki continued staring, the guest was A GIRL!! She had short brown hair, and eyes, shorter than Rukawa of herself, and a warm smile across her face. Miyuki turned to face her brother. It took a while before he said something.

" Haruko san"

" Hello Rukawa kun"

" What are you doing here for?"

Miyuki, who Rukawa had never been cold to, was shocked by his response.

" The project in history is about to be due, and we haven't started. Rukawa kun"

" So what?"

The girl looked at her feet, her smile no longer there.

" Well… if we want to get good grades…"

" I don't care bout grades, you can do it yourself, please leave"

A hurt expression appeared on the girl's face, and Rukawa felt a spasm of regret.

" Ok, I won't bother you"

She started for the door.

" Wait!"

Miyuki ran after her.

" Don't go"

Haruko smiled at Miyuki, not knowing who she is.

" Oniisan!! What's wrong with you today? All she wants is to help you do this project and you just threw it out the door like it was crap!! I've had enough! She's going to be my guest, and you can't throw her out"

Miyuki grabbed Haruko's hand and led her to her room.

SLAM!!!

~~~Miyuki's room~~~

" I'm sorry Haruko san, my oniisan usually isn't like this"

Haruko sniffed.

" It's doesn't matter, thank you though, I didn't how much longer I could stand it, oh what's your name?"

" Miyuki, Miyuki Rukawa"

"Miyuki. Are you-"

Haruko didn't get to finish her sentence, for Rukawa opened the door and came in.

" Yuki, would you give us a minute?"

" There's something could knocking you know? And it's Miyuki!!"

She stormed out, giving Rukawa a glare when she passed.

" That your sister?"

" Yeah, disappointing I would say"

" No, she's great"

" Listen, I want you to know that I'm sorry, I didn't mean what I said"

" It's it's ok"

Haruko was stunned. *Rukawa? Apologizing?*

" I sort of went off track, kept thinking bout Sendoh messing around my sister"

" Sendoh?"

Haruko knew it strange that Rukawa was talking so much, let alone be polite, but for some reason, she thought it was relaxing, hearing him talk.

" Yeah, Sendoh, he was ' watching' my sister play b-ball"

" Miyuki plays b-ball?"

" Yup, amazingly she's good at it too, nearly lost a game to her the other AHHH!!! Yuki!! What are you doing?"

" MI-yuki! MI-yuki! And if you hadn't opened the door, then I wouldn't have got bruise!!"

" It's not my fault that your eavesdropping!!"

" Excuse me? What else was there to do?"

Haruko laughed at the two, they were such a pleasant sight.

" Rukawa kun?"

" Kaede"

" Kaede? I have to go now, I'll come back tomorrow to study, sayonara!!"

" Sayonara!! Haruko san!!"

" Bye Miyuki"

After seeing Haruko out, Miyuki returned to her room.

" So, how was your day?"

" It was ok, I guess, everybody was quite nice."

" Sendoh too?"

" Akira? That's his last name?"

Rukawa raised an eyebrow.

" Akira?"

" Yeah, can't remember his last name, he's so annoying, I'm surprised he's captain, you can beat him right? He always has this goofy smile on his face…"

Miyuki's face developed a dreamy look.

" You like don't you?"

Miyuki stared at her brother admiringly *he's so understanding*

" Akira Sendoh"

" What's wrong? Have you got a problem?"

" Of course I do yuki!! It's my greatest rival we're talking bout here!! You know how much I despise the guy!!"

*So much for understanding!!*

" But, Kaede!! It's go nothing to do with basketball, you can still play like mad against him!! It won't make any difference!!"

" You think that's all I care about? That guy does that stuff to every girl in school!! He's probably just using you!!"

" This is my life, you don't make decisions in it!!"

Rukawa paused, then sighed.

" You're right I'm sorry, do what you want, but if he does anyth-"

" Oniisan, I'm only 5 months younger, not 10 years"

" Ok yuki"

" That's MI-yuki!!"

" Wateva"

" Kaede!! Come back here!!!"
