Bakani-
*beep*
hmm?
*beep*
"wha?"
*beep*
"no, wanna ~~~~*mumble*
*beep*
erg, someone kill it…
*beep*
oh wait…that's… *sigh*
I reached over and shut off my alarm clock. Erg, I didn't want to get up, but that's no different from any other
morning. I yawned, stretched, and tried to get a brush through my tangled hair. Zombie-like, I dragged myself out
of bed finally and unsteadily headed for the door.
*thud*
"Ite!" oops, there's a doorway there. I made it eventually to the bathroom.
A little bit later, I was awake and ready to go downstairs: hot water's a wonderful thing. I jumped the last few
steps on the stairs just to show the world I had energy and was ready for another day…
I probably shouldn't have done that…
Nursing my injuries I proceeded to the kitchen.
"Ohayo, Tou-chan!!" I called.
"Ohayo, Bakani," he responded just as cheerfully. "What was that crash I just heard? You didn't fall
down the stairs again, did you?"
"Uh…well…"
He shook his head "You need to be more careful – ite!" Tou-chan spilled some hot coffee in his lap…-_-
and people wonder where I get it from…
Tou-san, who was also sitting with a cup of coffee, just rolled his eyes and muttered something about 'the pot
calling the kettle black'.
"Ohayo, Tou-san" I said, sitting down with a bowl of cereal.
"Ohayo, Bakani," He said calmly, glancing up at me from his newspaper with his golden eyes. "Don't
forget to wake your brother up."
"Why do I have to?" I looked at Tou-chan, it was usually his job. He had finished eating and was putting his dishes in the sink.
"I'm sorry, Baka. But I've gotta run. We're recording at the studio today, and I've gotta be there on time
or they'll kill me!!"
This said he hugged me, kissed Tou-san, and hurried out toward the front door. I sighed, I know better
than to ask Tou-san to wake Koori up, so I was stuck with the job.
Leaving my cereal to its soggy fate, I got up and went back up the stairs (carefully, this time). By the time
I reached my little brother's door I'd decided that this might be more fun then I had thought at first…
Yes, it's dangerous to mess with Koori, he may be 2 years younger then me, but he takes after Tou-san.
Tall, blonde, good-looking, and extremely intimidating. While I take after our more feminine Tou-chan. If it wasn't
for the fact that we're related I'd be scared to go near him. But he's my little brother, so I have certain 'obligations' to fulfill ^_^.
I threw open the door, and flipped on the light.
"Ko~ori! Rise and shine, oh dear baby brother!!"
Sunshiney-cheerfullness from my voice echoed off the walls of his room, sounding a death-toll for my brother's sanity.
I can be just as scary as him in my own little way…^_^
3…2…1…
"POUNCE!!"
My tackle was well aimed, I hit poor Koori dead-on.
"Baka yaro!" he cussed at me, and I jumped off of him snickering.
"Ashiteru, ototo-san!" I called sweetly dodging the pillows he hurled at me and escaping out the door.
I knew I'd pay for it later, but it didn't change how much fun it was.
Downstairs, Tou-san raised an eyebrow at my giggling, but wisely decided not to ask. It comes from living
with Tou-chan (and me) for so many yeas. I love my family…heehee…
I started on my breakfast again, knowing I had to hurry. Soon my best buddy Kohiro would be at the door,
waiting to walk to school with my brother and I.
Note: while Bakani calls Shuichi "little dad" (Tou-chan), Koori just calls him "mom" (Kaa-san). And the "shin-chan"
Koori refers to in the entry is Bakani. Also, the brothers' actual last name is Uesugi-Shindou, but for normal use they
go by Shindou Bakani and Yuki Koori.
Koori-
I rolled my eyes heavenward and silently asked the Gods why they'd granted me such a dysfunctional
family. Two fathers (well, almost) and a *thing*. If Bakani didn't act exactly like Kaa-san I'd call him the family pet.
Silently, I nodded good morning to Tou-san and snagged an English muffin before walking out the back
door and into the woods behind our house. When I reached the tree-line I allowed myself the luxury of several
rather colorful words when I noticed I'd forgotten my sketchbook.
"Baka yaro! If he hadn't 'woken' me up…" I yelled in the general direction of our house. I had been wide
awake when my idiot big brother fell down the stairs. Just because I drew better after nightmares…and I didn't
want Bakani finding out about my ambitions to become a mangaka. Of course I realized it wasn't my Kaa-san
coming to wake me up so I had to literally dive into my bed and pray Bakani wouldn't notice the drawings scattered
about my desk. In my haste to leave the house I had forgotten the picture I wanted to show to Aki, too. Sunlight
steamed through the trees around me and I kicked a nearby bush. While my shortcut to school was more efficient
then the baka's, there was no time to turn around and fetch my sketchbook. My only consolation was that Bakani
would probably be late to his first hour class.
I blinked and turned around to stare when the bush I had just kicked (and walked past) hissed at me. As I
watched a garter snake slithered out from the foliage, it bared its fangs at me.
"Gomen, I didn't see you there," I said solemnly.
The snake hissed at me, and I stuck out my finger. When it bit my finger I winced but lifted it up and cradled the
snake to my chest.
"Let's see if I can make it up to you, ne?" I whispered, and then started walking again. After perhaps
five minutes the snake relaxed into my arm. I reached the back of the school near the dumpsters and wandered
over to the school entrance.
"Sneaking around as usual, Yuki?" I heard a slightly irritated voice behind me. Only one person I know
calls me by my surname. I quickly turned around and extended my snake-clad hand (which was still bloody).
"Pet my snake!" I shouted. Ame bounced back and almost screamed. Hastily I put my snake back under
my school uniform.
"Sorry" I whispered to my small friend and he hissed angrily; I winced. Ame narrowed her eyes at me.
"Yuki! Why do you have to be so immature?!" She shouted. I pet my snake and tried to hold back a
sarcastic comment.
"And the way you make fun of Shin-chan because you want to get in his pants isn't?" Oops. Well, I
tried to keep that one down, really I did. Ame went bright red and stomped away. Apparently she reached
someone she knew because I heard screaming.
Aki ran around the side of the school building in a foul mood.
"Did you have to piss Ame off?" She complained. I shrugged and threw the Japanese equivalent of
'Guitar World' at her. Instantly she brightened.
"Is this the...?" She asked. I nodded. Aki squealed and turned to the exclusive interview with a look
akin to someone who sees their God. With Aki that was pretty close. After all she did have a Hiro-shrine…
"Haven't you read that before?" I asked. Absently she nodded.
"Seven times" I sighed and pet my snake again.
"What's got you so cheerful this morning?" She asked. I twitched.
" I was drawing a picture and got distracted. Left it at home." Aki shrugged.
"So?" She asked.
"I don't know. It's…important to me." I muttered. Aki laughed and stroked the magazine.
"OoooOOh! What's it of?" She asked.
"A guy." I said. Aki giggled.
"Aww! Does my little Koori-kun have a crush?" She said in a sing-song voice. I blushed and looked down.
"Not really. He's like…a memory from a dream…" I tried to explain with minimal success. Aki raised an
eyebrow at me.
"You been watching Disney films again?"
"What?"
"Nevermind"
Kohiro-
I woke up to a new day courtesy of one of those wonderfully annoying inventions called an Alarm Clock.
After I turned the darn thing off, I could hear my father playing his guitar downstairs. After I had been 'officially'
awoken (via-the shower) I went downstairs and had a simple breakfast of cereal.
As I ate, having nothing better to do at the moment, I watched my dad play with the talent that comes from
years and years of practice.
That kind of talent must skip generations; I'm entirely lost when it comes to playing a guitar. Though,
strangely enough, I've been told that I can sing as well as Sakuma-san, where as my dad couldn't keep a tune if his
life depended on it; just like Bakani. Trust me, I unfortunately know rather well…-_-
Speaking of which, I decided to hurry up with breakfast and pick Bakani up early. Yesterday we were late,
which made Koori pissed at me (per usual), and I was determined not to have a repeat.
I said goodbye to my dad and headed over to Bakani's house. Bakani answered the door, said goodbye to
Yuki-san, and then the both of us headed off to school. We had almost reached the school when I realized that
Koori wasn't with us.
"What happened to Koori? He usually walks with us."
"It's a long story" Bakani replied grinning, he added "I got to wake Koori up today."
Koori and I don't get along, but I know him well enough to know that he is not a morning person.
"Again? Baka, you know what happened last time you did that!"
"Yeah, but I'm still alive aren't I?" he replied waving me off as if it was no problem at all. I had been
about to comment on his lack of concern, when Ame rushed by, anger clear on her face. She didn't even say hello
or give any indication that she knew us; she went through the school doors heading to our first hour class.
I frowned as I heard Bakani's depressed sigh behind me. Forcing a smile on my face I called over my shoulder
"C'mon Baka! Let's get to class or we'll be late again!" He nodded. I was grateful he didn't start crying…people pick
on him enough as it is… We made it to class with about 2 seconds to spare. Great…another test -_-. I finished it in 10
minutes and put my head down on the desk to get a few more minuets of sleep. If there's one thing my dad and I have in
common, it's our intelligence. I managed at an early age to pick up his study habits. Now, school is so easy, it's boring.
The free time also allowed me to think about the situation between Ame and Bakani. I, of course, didn't tell Baka, but Ame
was still talking to me. He's my best friend, and telling him would only have depressed him more. Dealing with her has been
one migraine after another; the minute I mention Baka's name she changes the subject. After many failed attempts, I labeled
it as a lost cause and gave up.
The bell rang and the teacher collected our tests. Bakani came over to me, smiling again and looking rather pleased
with himself, and told me that he actually managed to finish his test this time. I shook my head but gave a real smile this time.
Having Baka around could sure make your day!
Ame-
(music notes) "Uhh…" The music continued until I finally dragged myself out of bed and turned off my clock radio,
"Urg." Damn clock. Grabbing my robe and a clean pair of underclothes I made my way down to the bathroom,
making sure to grab a towel along the way. Ahh. The feel of hot water… Nothing better than waking up to a
nice, hot- "Ame? Honey? Hurry it up. There are other people who want to use the shower this morning."
"Alright, alright. I'll be out in a minute." Sheesh. Sometimes Dad can be just a little annoying, and this
early in the morning…he'd better have coffee. I finally made my way out of the bathroom and to my room so I
can get dressed for the day. 45 minutes later I was at school. What was Yuki doing behind the dumpster?
"Sneaking around as usual Yuki?"
"Pet my snake!"
"Ahhhh!! You jerk! Get that thing out of my face!" Then Yuki said stuff to me that I don't even want to
think about. I left thinking of various ways to kill him. "Hi Ame." "Hi kiki."
"Uck. Why is Shindou looking at you that way? It's so gross."
"I don't care. Let's just get to class"
I got into class and what's the first thing I have to do? Take a math test. *sigh* Why can't these tests take longer
then 15 minutes to complete? Oh well. At least I now have about 40 minutes or so to study for history. Wait, Baka
was looking at me? Again? Why can't he just leave me alone? He'd follow me everywhere if he had the chance.
He's like a love sick puppy. Why doesn't he understand that I just want to be left alone? I just want-
*BRIIING*
Damn. No studying done either. Stupid Baka.
"Hey Ame. Let's get going!"
"Yeah Ame. If we leave now we won't have to worry about running into Ba-"
"Hi, Ame." How did he get here so fast?
"Baka, this isn't even your next class. What do you want?"
Bakani looked hurt. "I just wanted to say hi. You didn't even say hi to me this morning." I just sighed.
"Hi Baka. Are you going to class now, or are you going to continue blocking the doorway?"
"Bakani. Get out of the way." I watched as Kiki shoved Baka out of the way.
"Come on Ame." Sasha said. I heard her mutter something at Baka about being gay.
"Bye, Bakani. I'll see you later." I passed Baka and gave him a tiny smile. Bakani brightened up instantly.
"Bye Ame! See you later! Did you hear that Kohiro?! Ame said 'See you later!' She said that to me!"
"Okay, Bakani. I get it, come on, let's go."
As I went to class I couldn't help but smile a bit.
"What's up Ame?" Kiki asked.
Sasha piped in "What's so funny?"
"Nothing. Never mind." Bakani, you're an idiot. Just like your name. Erg, you drive me crazy.
