Beep, beep, beep!
Groaning, Touya slapped a hand down on his alarm, silencing the loud, disruptive noise. Rolling to the side of his bed, he sat up, one hand rubbing his eye to clear the sleepy fog clouding his vision. It was another morning, another day, of school and his various part-time jobs. But he wouldn't complain. He had plans. He had goals he wanted to accomplish. Besides, a little hard work never killed anyone.
Touya shook off the remaining grogginess, and stood to get ready for the day. Knowing his family the way he did, either his father or younger sister were currently in the kitchen making breakfast. The Kinomoto family shared the many chores around the house; tomorrow would be Touya's turn to cook.
After finishing his bathroom rituals, he dressed in his high school uniform, carefully adjusting his tie and carrying his school bag over one shoulder. His jacket was arranged over one arm to keep it from wrinkling.
As anticipated, Touya found Sakura in the kitchen, standing on a stool as she cooked and prepared lunch for the small family. Familial affection warmed his chest, as it often did when he thought about how much Sakura had grown over the years. Despite missing the presence of a mother-figure, she remained cheerful, optimistic, and kind. Her heart was one of the biggest that Touya had ever seen.
And he knew Sakura's destiny was going to unfold soon.
Grinning wickedly, the handsome brunette silently made his way behind his little sister. He felt a moment's satisfaction when she shrieked in surprise, his arm using her head as an armrest as he peered over her shoulder to see what she was cooking.
"Touya!" Sakura practically screeched in annoyance, cheeks puffing out like a squirrel. "How many times do I have to tell you not to do that?"
He ignored her. Instead, he asked, "What are you making for breakfast, brat?" It definitely smelled good. His brow rose as he got a look at the ingredients. Pancakes. Eggs. Bacon. Toast. "Are you planning to feed an army or something?"
Sakura's cheeks flushed with a rosy hue, and she suddenly found looking at her older brother impossible. Her fingers fidgeted with nerves. "Do-Do you think I made too much?" she stuttered.
Touya's eyes narrowed in suspicion. "Depends on who you're making all of this food for."
The front door opening and closing caught the siblings' attention. Then an all too familiar voice spoke, announcing their presence.
"Are you antagonizing poor Sakura again, Touya?" Kagome Higurashi came into view, amusement shining in her amethyst orbs. She wore the female high school uniform that matched Touya's, with her waist length, raven tresses pulled up into a high ponytail.
Beside Kagome, Yukito Tsukishiro and Souta Higurashi also came into view. Yukito chuckled. "Some would say that he has a sister complex," he commented in his gentle, kind voice.
Souta snickered behind a hand.
Kagome giggled.
Touya scowled, but moved away from Sakura to greet the newcomers. "Shut up," he huffed without any real heat. "What are you three doing here, anyway?"
"Sakura invited us," Souta answered, taking a seat at the dining room table as if this were his own house. In many ways, the Kinomoto residence was a second home to him and his older sister.
Kagome was, after all, dating Touya. And Souta and Sakura were classmates.
Kagome pouted. "Are you saying you didn't want to see your own girlfriend?"
The handsome brunette almost physically backpedaled. "I didn't mean it like that." He was quick to defend himself. "I was just surprised, that's all." The raven haired beauty had an infamous temper, however, when she was in the mood to tease… Touya mentally shuddered.
"Good." Amethyst eyes sparkled. Delicate arms wrapped around his waist, and Touya breathed a sigh of relief as his own arms came up to wrap around Kagome's petite frame. When she hummed in contentment, snuggling her head under his chin, he didn't care who witnessed the way his features softened with affection for the young woman who had agreed to be his when they were only in middle school.
Sakura's voice broke into the couple's moment. "Kagome-nee, come sit down. Breakfast is ready." Touya lightly scowled at his little sister for the interruption. In response, the little brat stuck her tongue out.
She also had the gall to grab Kagome's hand and pull her away from the older Kinomoto sibling. "You can sit between me and Yukito-kun, Kagome-nee," Sakura continued, chirpy and somewhat smug. It had never been a secret that Sakura considered the raven haired beauty an older sister figure. It was only natural that she would want to spend as much time as possible with the older girl, too.
However, it didn't mean that Touya had to like it.
"You little brat," he growled, thoroughly aggravated.
Kagome laughed sheepishly, feeling an anime-style sweat drop forming on the back of her head. It seems as though Touya isn't the only one who knows how to antagonize…
Yukito chuckled like this was any other day, commenting, "One can tell those two are definitely siblings, ne?"
Meanwhile, Souta ignored the scene. Instead, his hungry gaze was intent on the delicious smelling food. He let out a delighted hum as he crunched into a piece of bacon. "Mm~"
