The Art Of Seduction By Mitsui Hisashi
Chapter 7: My darling cousin

To:-

choco no baka: Kiss? Hmm.. maybe, maybe. Confess? Hmm.. good idea. I'll try and work on it and see how it goes! Thanks for the suggestion.

tensaispira: Habis PMR! Yay! Heh, I just couldn't help but tease Micchy about it! Don't worry though, he's not really gay (as much as I would like this story to suddenly mutate into a yaoi one).

sLL: Nyahahaha! Merdeka, merdeka! Yes, cousin! I just had to complicate their lives didn't I? ^_^


Hey! I'm back finally! Sorry for the long wait, I was busy working on my website, Black and White, www.geocites.com/sakuranokaerizaki (shameless self-advertising). Despite it's weird title, yes, it is about Slam Dunk. Yay!
Neways, enjoy chapter seven!

Hino Chidori's P.O.V

"Do I have to go?" I whined for the what must have been at least the fiftieth time.
"Really, I don't know why you have to be so difficult. It's only dinner, and after your sweet cousin so kindly invited you over, how could you not go? Such a nice boy," okaasan said, much to the dismay of my eardrums.
Mitsui?
Nice?
Really!
"Before this, you know," suddenly okaasan's voice dropped into a sort of conspiratory tone, like she was revealing a state secret."You know, he used to be such a problematic child. But just look at him now, a fine young man! I hear he's also a star-basketball player in his school team. So handsome too," she gleefully exclaimed and elbowed me.
Ow!
Even my okaasan is against me.
What is this world coming to?
And handsome is not the word used to describe, for lack of a better word, creatures like him.
"Ah, Chi-chi! You look so sweet in that pink dress!" otousan said while pinching my cheek.
It's always painful being around my parents. In the emotional and physical sense.
Why does he have to call me that?
Doesn't he realize I'm FIF-FRICKING-TEEN!
Otousan and Mitsui are probably ganging up together to harass me.
And what's with all this stupid lace.
I hate lace.

"Chi-chi!" my stupid idiot, soon-to-be-dead-cousin exclaims.

I glare at him.
I'm wearing a fricking pink dress, with lace, the lace itches, my butt itches and I want to scratch it.
Forget ladylike. I'm aiming for barbaric.


Mitsui Hisashi's P.O.V

She looks like... a big walking piece of cotton-candy.
Or... an over-stuffed toy bunny!
All pink and fuzzy and warm.

"HAHAHAHAHA!"


Hino Chidori's P.O.V

He just has to laugh doesn't he?
Doesn't he ever learn?
Idiot.

"Look, he's so happy you're here he's laughing. Such a sweet boy. Imagine how he would have felt if you hadn't come."

Who cares how he feels?
My butt still itches!
Argh, I need to sit down.

"Ojiisan, obaasan," I greeted, trying my best to smile buried under all that stupid lace.

"Chi-chi! How you've grown so! And how pretty you look in that dress. I remember you when you were only this high," ojiisan commented while he too pinched my cheek and then started what seemed to be patting, the air.

Oh for kami-sama's sake!
What's with all the males in my family and their affection for that stupid nickname?
Besides, we live in the same bloody city.
We could see each other every day if we wanted to.
Although that would be a very bad idea.
Ech, imagine everyday of cheek-pinching.
The pain of it all.

"Urusai, gay boy!" I said to him softly, hoping his parents didn't hear anything.

Apparently they're as deaf as they're annoying, they just kept on yapping.
That shut him up.

I sighed.

This is going to one long night.
Besides, that itch on my butt seems to be getting uncontrollable.
