I know I said I would update ages ago, but I have a valid excuse this time...SCHOOL IS A PAIN IN THE ARSE!

Now that that's said and done, on with the story

Waking up was always hell for the Otsuka twins, there was a never a day when the two of them weren't going at it trying to kill each other before breakfast, but today was different. True, Keri was sitting around glaring daggers at Kakarato from over the box of Fruities, but she hadn't made an advance on him yet. Seeing that she despised his existence, this was something sort of a miracle. Kakarato, on the other hand, was busy drooling Niagra Falls in his bowl. For once, things seemed relatively normal; Keri wasn't yelling, and Kakarato, well, let's just say he was alive.

If only things would stay that way.

"C'mon Bulma, how many times do I have to tell you! I don't like him!" screamed the black hair, brown eyed ChiChi. "He's my friend, got it? I don't see him as anything more than a brother. A cute brother, true, but a brother nonetheless."

Bulma just smirked. It amazed her that after all these years, her best friend would try to hide something so scandalous from her. She knew all, saw all, snooped in all...it was just her territory, whether it was her business or not.

"Keep on telling yourself that. You can't exactly blame me for not believing though. I mean, really Chi, every time you see him, you are either undressing him with your eyes, or literally trying, so I don't see the point in all this beating around the bush. You might as well fess up."

For all her hardheadedness and attitude, ChiChi still had that shy aspect, and it was that very part of her that was keeping her from fessing up to the one thing she wanted most, the one boy that threw her entire world off kilter. She knew Bulma knew, but to actually voice it was a different story. It's as if admitting it would prevent it from ever coming true, and although she knew she could suffice with being his friend, why should she, when she wanted so much more?

"We're still sitting here...why the HELL are we still sitting here!" The peaceful atmosphere was shattered as Keri stomped around on the curb, yelling various profanities. The bus hadn't come, and Keri didn't have the patience for it. She had lives to wreck, people to torture, and gossip to spread; who did the bus driver think he was? How DARE he make Otsuka Keri wait!

"If he doesn't get his slow wrinkling buttocks over here in two minutes...he's going to paaaay," Keri snarled as she stared at her brother. She had that look in her eye, you know, that murderous "I rule the world and all its pitiful subjects" look, and she felt disrespected. Didn't the bus driver KNOW he bowed down to her?

"Just shut up for a second. You act like you're God, well, news flash...you're nothing but a stuck up, evil, brain dead bitch. So how about you move your butt out of my face, sit down, and shut your trap." replied Kakarato, a smile in his eyes, but a frown on his lips. "By the way, your breath smells like ass."

Kakarato lived for moments like this, he could never pass up the chance to royally piss off his sister. He could have sworn up and down it was his purpose in life. But even as he was saying those words, his heart wasn't completely in it; for once, pissing off his sister wasn't his main priority...the bus was coming up the hill, and a certain girl with that special smile was riding on it.

Another short one, cough but I should be reading Othello right now...rock on (no enthusiasm)

But thankies to all those who replied, I'm sooo sorry I didn't get a chance to answer back, but just know it's still appreciated...really, it is

And yea, Keri really is crazy. She wasn't like this in the original, the mom was, but it's more fun to have her around so, yea, she's going to be a tad looney throughout the story. PLUS, it kind of helps out my new alternative plot. So, if any of you read this original back in '01 (sooo long ago) it's not going to be anything like it...
