Forsaken^On3: Hmm...I think that Rukawa opened up to Ayako that easily because he is in a very depressed mood and badly needs someone. I mean, he can't just run to anybody can he? Of course he'll have to spill out his guts to someone he trusts, though he doesn't show it openly. And that person is Ayako. I'll tell you why in this chap. ^_^
kannon blake: ok then! I won't flush it for you... besides, my toilet is clogged at the moment so I can't really do that...^_^

By the way, Ayako's not really Rukawa's BIOLOGICAL sister. He only looks upon her LIKE an older sister...

A LITTLE BIT: THE THIRD CHAPTER
.~:*+++*:~.
"Nee-chan, what should I do?"
Ayako blinked.
~flash back, 10 years ago~
It was the end of yet another school day. A cute girl was walking home down the path that led to her house. She had her bouncy curls tied up in two pig tails and had a sweet, charming smile adorning her young face. She made a right turn towards the park where her house is waiting near its exit. Sitting on one of the swings, she saw a familiar head.
A boy with raven hair had his head lowered while sitting silently in one of the swings. His bag was resting on the pole supporting the swings. He didn't move an inch when he felt another person occupy the seat beside him.
"Ahem."
No reaction.
"Ahem, excuse me?"
Still no reaction.
"Kaede-kun, it's me."
Finally, the boy turned towards the voice. It was his Aya-neechan.
"Nee-chan..."
Ayako smiled. She started to sway on the swing, her companion sitting still.
"Penny for your thoughts?" she started.
"My parents were fighting again. Mom said that she was gonna leave me and Dad and go to America. She said that...s-she said that—" A tear escaped his eye. "she'll never come b-back again."
Ayako stopped swinging.
"Nee-chan, what should I do?" a teary eyed boy named Rukawa Kaede asked her. He looked helpless, his blue eyes painted with sorrow.
She felt bad for Rukawa. He had no one else to turn to, him being an only child. She knew she had to help him as his surrogate sister. It was the only thing she could do. Then, she had an idea.
"Ne, Kaede-kun," she stood in front of him, spunk present in her voice. Rukawa looked up to her, waiting for her to continue.
"My dad was watching something on TV yesterday. My dad said it was the best game ever and it can make anybody happy. He said it was called basketball." Said Ayako cheerfully.
"Basketball?"
"Uh huh. So, I was thinking, if what my dad said was true, then maybe it can cheer you up!" grinned Ayako.
Rukawa raised his right arm to wipe away his tears. "D'you really think so?"
"Yeah! I saw it being played yesterday in the TV and all you have to do is run around and put this orange ball inside this really high basket in the air. I'm sure you'll be happier if you play it!" Ayako reassured her 'younger brother'.
He blinked. "Are you really really sure?" "Of course, I am! Why else would I tell you about it?" Aya grinned again.
Rukawa nodded and smiled, "Ok then! I'll be the best so that I'll the happiest in the world!"
"Yup! I'll make sure you'll be coz I'm gonna be your manager." Said Ayako.
"What's a manager?" wondered Rukawa.
"I don't know...who cares?!"
The two children laughed and soon went home feeling a lot more cheery.
~end flashback~
"Heeellooo?? Earth to Ayako..."
Rukawa was waving his hand before Ayako's face hoping to get her to snap out.
"Huh?!?"
"Finally, you snapped out. What were you thinking about anyway?" replied Rukawa.
"N-nothing! I just—wait, what were you saying again?" asked Ayako.
An exasperated sigh escaped Rukawa's lips. "I said, 'Nee-chan, what should I do?'. Are you gonna help me or not?" He sat down again at his seat beside her in the sofa.
Ayako caught up with their conversation and answered, "Of course, I'll help you!"
"So, what's should I do? I can't just stand here, can I?" pressed Rukawa.
Ayako searched her brain for an answer. Since she can't find anything clear for now, she went safe first.
"You know what? I think you shouldn't rush things for a while. Maybe you should see how things are working out between Mitsui and Sendoh first and maybe you can hatch up a plan or something to break them up somehow." Offered Ayako. She wasn't sure about her answer herself, but it's worth a try anyway.
Rukawa stared at her, trying to ingest what she had said.
"Don't you think that that will make me look selfish?"
"Hey, it was only a suggestion. I didn't say you do everything I say." Retorted Ayako. She had to admit that Rukawa actually 'thinking' surprised her a bit. She half-expected him to shrug and take her idea seriously.
"Listen, like I said before, you're new to this thing. Don't push yourself too much and you'll be fine. Take your time in every step and you'll achieve anything."
But Rukawa apparently can't wait for long.
"But Sempai and that porcupine are getting even closer even at this second! I can't wait here and see my chances with him fade. I have to do something before it's too late!" he almost yelled his reply. But his voice softened at his next statement.
"Please, Aya-neechan. You've always helped me right? Now I need your help more than ever since I trust you and I know you can help me on this. Please..." he said, more like pleaded to his nee-chan.
Again, Ayako saw the boy in the park in front of her. Again, she saw those helpless, sorrow-painted blue orbs. Being the kind-hearted that she was, she can't resist her brother's plea for help.
"You know I'm always here to help you Kaede-kun," Ayako replied, her voice soft as well, "but can't you see that you're already being selfish here? You can't break two people up just like that in a snap. It may even lead to them to strengthen their relationship and hate you for trying to break them up. You have to somehow make Mitsui see that he's not for Sendoh or that Sendoh's not worth him. Patience is an important factor here, understand?"
After Ayako finished her reasoning, Rukawa went into silent mode. He was looking for the right answer in her eyes. He then lowered his head, contemplating about their conversation.
Ayako waited anticipating for his answer, hoping she said the right thing. He suddenly stood up with his back overshadowing her.
He then shocked Ayako by turning around and giving her his rare smiles.
"I really wanted you to be my sister, you know? I honestly do." He said.
Ayako smiled back at him. "I'm already your sister you idiot. Not biologically, but an older sister nonetheless."
"Thank you very much for the advice. I understand everything now." Rukawa smiled again. "I guess I'd better go home now, it's getting late. Dad's home early today." He went towards his bag and hoisted it on his shoulder.
"Come back here anytime you want, and you're welcome." Replied Ayako while walking him towards the house's gate. "See you tomorrow at practice."
He was almost out of the gate when he abruptly turned back to Ayako, his pale, emotionless face back on. "By the way, don't mention this to anyone." He said in his usual monotone.
"You got it, bro."
And off Rukawa went walking to his house.
