A younger sister's duty.

Well, Mikan Yuuki's duty in the mornings was usually get up earlier than the rest of her family and make breakfast for the elder members of the family. She was a young girl, just at the beginning of puberty, but she took after both of her parents quite well. She had her mother's figure, though more youthful, and she had her father's black hair and was quite skinny... though her father had started to get more buff as he worked out.

Her mother was always gone now, away on business in order to make a lot of money to help support three children.

Her father was always gone as well, though he lived in an apartment in the same city so that he could focus on his work as well. He came home a good amount though, and she could always just go over and see him.

"Rito... wake up." Mikan knocked on the door, and she opened it up without waiting for the answer.

Her biological older brother, took more after their mother in appearance and their father. He was born with her colors for sure, though he had spiky hair like their father. She saw a tally mark on the side of his doorframe, and she smiled.

Mikan - 149 cm
Rito - 164.5 cm
Naruto - 166 cm

It was something of a vicious competition between Rito and Naruto to see who was taller, the taller one getting no real rewards other than the ability to hold their height over the shorter one. For the longest time, that had been Rito until Naruto hit his growth spurt when he turned 13 and started to shoot up. It would seem that Naruto's parents had more height to them in later life than their own parents did.

"Huh... oh... give more minutes."

"No, wake up now or you'll miss breakfast." Mikan denied the request, knowing just how long he would stay in bed if allowed. Thankfully, he just groaned and bitched under his breath as he always did. She ignored it, since he was always easy to wake up for her. Even if he bitched about her waking him up, he never was angry with her, and he never tried to go back to sleep. "Can I borrow this?" Mikan asked as she got his baseball bat from next to his dresser.

"Yeah, whatever."

Rito always kept his room surprisingly clean, only a very slight mess one would expect of a person living in comfort. That gave her easy access to her weapon of choice for this morning ritual.

"Good, yesterday I used the newspaper and he ignored it... this will make things so much better." Mikan got a comfortable grip as she left and walked across the hall.

She didn't knock.

She just opened the door right up and looked at the mess that was Naruto's room, he didn't sleep very well. He would often kick things or toss them around in his sleep, so his floor was always littered with whatever had been on his bed that night when he passed out.

Spiky golden blond hair.
Peach skin.
An athletic body.

Where she was skinny thanks to her genetics, and Rito had a little muscle on him thanks to how active he was with his love for soccer (mostly focused on his legs and stomach). Naruto had a fighter's build to him, and very little body fat over any of him. The only soft looking part of his body were his rounded cheeks, which were covered in whisker marks.

"You got 5 seconds Naruto, just 5 before I start swinging." Mikan gave her only warning to Naruto as she readied her stance and took aim for his abs. She got into her proper stance with her legs spread, since Naruto was the challenge to wake up in the morning. If she used the gentle approach like with Rito, he would for sure fall back asleep and not wake up for another hour at least.

"Uuuh... you don't got the balls..."

"I've got the balls." Mikan stated as she took a practice swing for good measure.

This needed to hurt to be effective.

"Not with... those skinny... aaaaaah... arms." Naruto yawned and rolled over.

"This bat adds +10 to my damage." Mikan stated as she reached the 2 in her head, she didn't count out loud. She counted in her head, knowing how this was going to end for the two of them.

...

"Bat?"

"Basebal bat... metal... it's going to hurt... and times up!" Mikan called out as she swung downwards onto the bed. This was the normal for what happened after all, sometimes he would wake up and sometimes whatever she used to hit him awake with would actually hit him.

The bat hit the bed, and Naruto had rolled off the bed and onto the floor while holding his chest with his hands.

"You little sadist!? You swung a bat this morning!? Also, what's for breakfast!?" Naruto shouted out his questions in quick succession. He had been hit with the bat too many times for him not to jump out of bed the second she swung it. "Where did you even FIND it, I was sure I hid that damn thing?" Naruto asked more urgently, because he knew he hid it behind the house where she rarely looked.

"Rito found it, and I'm not a sadist... I'm just a general S. Yes, I swung the bat since you need to learn when to wake up... and it isn't like it hurts you that much. We're going with simple bacon, eggs, and toast this morning." Mikan answered the questions, before she turned around and left the room with a wide smirk on her face. She loved being a younger sister, and being allowed to do this kind of stuff and get away with it.

Naruto never held a grudge for more than like 5 minutes, but the time he put his pants on he would have already forgiven her for whatever it was she used to hit him with.

"The fuck... where did I get this?" Naruto asked as he looked at the floor, and next to his pants was a small glass bottle filled with a tasty looking pink liquid. There was a small note taped to the side of it, and he gave it a glance with a raised eyebrow.

Good luck, miso ramen flavored. ~SKU

"Where do you get like half of this stuff?" Mikan asked as she kicked a small stuffed animal that was a cross between a rabbit and a toad. It looked like Naruto might have stitched it himself in his sleep or something, or maybe he found it somewhere? It was impossible to tell, because half of the stuff in Naruto's room was kind of weird looking. "Maybe- DON'T DRINK IT!?" Mikan shouted when Naruto uncorked the bottle.

In a two gulps, he downed the entire bottle of pink liquid without hesitation.

"PFFFT!? That was cherry flavored, not miso... I mean, too late now." Naruto tapped the side of his head in a way that would be cute for most people. He burped, before she sighed and rubbed the side of her head.

One day.

One day Naruto was going to do something stupid that was going to instantly bite him in the ass. Only he could find a bottle of unknown liquid, and drink it because it said it was miso ramen flavored on the label. Still, it wasn't like she couldn't appreciate both of her brothers for their uses in her life.

Rito - Good for helping her on her homework when she, rarely, needed it.
Naruto - Great for intimidating boys into leaving her alone at school.
Rito - Easy to tease.
Naruto - Good for physical labor.

"Good news, you just drank a bottle of pure aphrodisiac... better lock you in your room before you lay your hands on me." Mikan teased Naruto, and he just sent her a dull look.

Rito passed by the door to he room and waved to them.

"Hurry up you two, breakfast is getting cold."

-Later that Morning-

"One of these days, I'm going to get her back... also, I'm going to find a better place to hide that bat." Naruto grumbled to himself as he walked next to Rito, the two of them on their way to school.

Naruto wore his uniform with the shirt untucked, and the top few buttons undone. His uniform was better loose, since he prefered looser clothes.

The two of them acted like polar opposites most of the time, and they certainly dressed like opposites.

"..."

"Oh, Haruna is here already." Naruto realized that Rito was ignoring him in favor of blushing up a storm. Naruto rubbed the back of his head in confusion, since he never understood why Rito didn't just man up and confess his feelings to his crush already. "I don't know man, have you ever thought of actually going to her and talking to her? I'm pretty sure that she would be into it." Naruto stated as he looked at Rito just gazing at the girl of his dreams.

"Hey, Uzubitchymaki!"

"I think you should worry about your own problems, rather than my love life." Rito was woken up by that cry from a deep, heavy voice behind them.

A group of 4 high school delinquents from a nearby school.

"I don't get it."

"He called you a bitch." Rito stated, and Naruto yawned in response. That was a lame insult if that was all they were saying. "Anyway, I plan on confessing to her... but I'm afraid that she will turn me down." Rito admitted to Naruto shyly, tapping his fingers together.

Naruto waved off those concerns.

"I promise that she won't, just nut up and try it already." Naruto ignored the delinquents behind them.

"Wimp! Pussy! Loser! Faggot! Transphobe-"

"I'm pretty strong, I've got a dick, I win a lot, I like women, and I'm not afraid of trans people. You losers are starting to sound like internet trolls, so maybe-"

"Tomato-face!"

...

"Yellow Tomato bastard, I've eaten yellow tomatoes like you for breakfast. I heard that you got your tomato face from some washed up idol who beat up a fan for talking about her tomato face... with your hair, and that face you're just a yellow tomato!"

"-and just like that I'm about to make some very smashed tomatoes!" Naruto turned on his heel and started to walk towards the guys who were trying, and succeeding, in picking a fight with him. His face was tomato red, a trait he inheritted from his mother, since he inheritted her face and his father's hair.

The next 16.5 seconds were nothing but violence.

In less than 17 seconds, Naruto turned all four of the bullies targetting him into bloody pulps that he tossed onto the sidewalk in a pile. For good measure, Naruto spat on them and kicked dirt onto them.

"Next time you bastards want to pick a fight, make sure you're tough enough to actually back up what you say. Next time, I'm not holding back." Naruto spat on them a second time just to get the point across.

He and Rito continued to walk.

"... So what makes you think that I have a chance with Sairenji-san?" Rito asked Naruto, returning to the conversation that they had been having before being interrupted. It was a normal occurence for Naruto to get harrassed on the way to school, because Naruto had a bad habit of getting into fights with people who made fun of him. "Also, will they be okay?" Rito glanced back at the bullies.

Were they breathing?

"Once they wake up, they'll be fine... also... you can't seriously not notice... Just confess to her, or I will lock the two of you into a room together until you do." Naruto couldn't believe that Rito hadn't figured out that his crush liked him back. The two had been in love with each other for more than a year now, and they had been extremely ignorant to each other's feelings.

It took a special kind of dense not to notice when a girl was constantly staring at you with love in her eyes.

He hoped he never had love trouble.

Please Leave Me Lots of Nice Long Reviews, But No Flames Please!

1. No, Naruto did not drink Aphrodisiac, that was just Mikan making a joke about the color of the drink.
