Sorry for the terrible wait! I'm so sorry! But it'll be pauses like this when I'll be able to type. I apologize...Forgive me?
But I'm here now and that's all that matters!

"Have fun?" Ukyou snickered, receiving a deadly glare.
"Hn." Ryoma shrugged his jacket off and left it on the floor. "Pick that up."
Ukyou frowned. "What? Why? It's yours."
"You're such a lazy person."
"You're the lazy one! How am I lazy?" Ukyou stooped down to pick the jacket up, making a disgusted face.
"You just are."
Ukyou followed her brother out of the kitchen to the living room. "I am NOT!"
"Whatever. Just drop it," he groaned, talking about the subject.
Ukyou took this chance to tease him and dropped the jacket, a smug look on her face. "There. Happy?"
Ryoma growled. "You think?"
"Yup."
"...Kaa-san!"
"Hey! No tattling! RYO! Kaa-san, he started it! It's not my fault! Blame him!" Ukyou wailed, waving her arms in the air and picking the jacket back up.

"I'm going to ask this question once more: Why is Rikkai following us everywhere? And why are we at a bowling alley?" Ukyou asked, tugging on her tinted green hair.
Eiji grinned and slung his arm over her shoulder. "Cuuuz..." he dragged on, rolling his eyes lazily.
"Yeeess?"
"I dunno."
Ukyou slapped her forehead. Ryoma pointed out, "And that was two questions, not one."
"Shut up, Ryo!"
"No."
"I said, SHUT UP!" And she stomped hard, injuring her foot. She also got clonked over the head by Ryoma, which earned her another injury.
"Ow!" she whined, glaring at her brother. He feigned innocence by drinking his Ponta drink he had brought just before their upperclassmen had pulled them out of their own house.
Oishi calmed the two teams and explained the rules. "This is just like regular bowling, but we're going to work in teams. If you get a gutter ball, you have to..."
"...drink my Special Remix 2000." Inui finished, his glasses gleaming.
Everyone gulped.
There are...eight people in Rikkaidai, and ten people in Seigaku, including Ukyou-chan..." Oishi was cut off by Ukyou, whose hands were both occupied with either her head or her foot.
"What's the 'including Ukyou-chan' for?"
"Well...seeing as you're the only girl..."
"Hey, hey, hey! Girls and boys are equal!" Ukyou proclaimed, raising a fist in the air.

"...or so I said..." Ukyou said, looking glumly at the scores in her team. Her team consisted of herself, Marui, and Inui.
"I-NU-I-SEN-PAI!" she roared, red in the face. "WILL YOU GET YOUR GAME ON?!"
Marui yawned. "For once, I agree with the kid," he said lazily.
"I'm no kid! You're only two years older than me..."
Inui pushed his glasses up and recalculated in his brain.
Ukyou huffed and sat back down in her seat. At this rate, they were going to be the losing ones. So far, the Momoshiro-Kaidoh-Niou team and the Kawamura-Jackal-Oishi team had dropped out. There were only four teams left, and they could not afford to lose.
"Hey," the bubble-gum blower nudged the girl, "it's your turn."
Ukyou 'eeped' and turned around. "...So you say, but..." she looked at the bowling pins. "...I've never been really good at this..." she muttered, holding the heavy ball with two hands.
Marui smacked her on the back encouragingly. "Go for it!"
Ukyou stuck her tongue out and rolled the ball swiftly but hesitantly towards her goal. It swerved and almost tipped over the edge. "Noo...!" she squeaked.
Then, a miracle happened and it managed to skim one pin, which sent a chain reaction. It knocked over three, at the most.
The younger twin sighed and cheered, obviously happy. She breathed out, smiling brightly as she exchanged a high five with Marui.
He raised an eyebrow. "It's strange. How come you can use your left hand when you bowl but not for tennis?"
Ukyou stared at him. "...You doofus."
Marui blinked. "Huh?"
"This is my right hand, stupid!"
Marui studied it closely and shook his head. "No it isn't."
"Yes it is." Ukyou slapped her forehead. "You can't tell from your lefts and your rights?"
Jackal jumped into the conversation, grinning. "Marui, you can't tell from your lefts and rights?"
"Eh..."
Ukyou cleared her throat. "Okay...Quiz! Which hand do you use to play tennis?"
"Left!"
Ukyou whacked his head. "BZZT! WRONG!"
The Rikkai regulars stared at Marui in disbelief. Yanagi was busy discussing this problem with Inui, who was nodding at his assumptions.
"Next question! Which one of my hands is not injured?"
"Left!"
Ukyou whacked his head yet again. "WRONG! Sheesh! Didn't I just tell you a while ago?! You ol' buffoon!"
And this continued for quite a while, and bowling was forgotten...

Marui came out of the bowling building with many, many bumps on his head. "Ow..." he complained for the hundredth time.
Ukyou sighed. "It was your fault that we got kicked out! All 'cus you can't tell which your left hand is and which your right is!" She raised a hand to smack him again but Kirihara stepped into the picture.
"Heh...that's poor of you, Marui-senpai!" he flipped his hair.
Ukyou smacked him. "YOU SHUT UP!"
"Ow!" he whined, covering his head.
Ukyou babbled on about how ridiculously they wasted the day, and Ryoma had to whack her in order for her to stop ranting.
"Ryo, that HURT!"
"Damn it...it was supposed to!"
Yukimura laughed nervously. "Now, now...let's stop this mess."
The twins ignored him and kept arguing.
" – and you were the one who broke the legs of my chair so I fell off!"
"Well, you're the one who got Karupin to keep scratching me when I didn't do anything!"
"Exactly! You weren't doing anything! You were supposed to be cooking dinner, AND YOU LEFT THE STOVE ON!"
"Isn't takeout good enough for you?!"
"Not when you're bothering everyone, you selfish – "
"ENOUGH!" Tezuka roared. Ukyou gulped and Ryoma 'che'ed.
"50 LAPS AROUND THE SCHOOL DURING TENNIS PRACTICE!"
"NOOOOOO! Ryo, this is all your fault!"
"Me?! What did I do?!"
"EVERYTHING!"

"Ryo, where'd you put my sweater?"
"I don't take your sweaters."
"You lie!" Ukyou jumped at him, yelling. "Give me my sweater!"
"I didn't take your sweater!" he repeated, moving out of the way. Ukyou crashed into their bedroom door.
"OW! Damn it that hurt!"
"Duh, it was supposed to!"
"I hate you, Ryo!"
"Likewise!"
Ukyou huffed and crossed her arms. Karu wandered into their room and meowed. "Karu, come over here. Ryo's being a butt, so leave him alone."
Karupin was about to make his way over but...
"No, Karu. Ignore her. Come over here."
Now Karupin was confused. This way? He looked at Ukyou, who was smiling at him. Or that way? He stared at Ryoma.
Ukyou glared at Ryoma. "He's coming here." She snarled.
Ryoma glared back. "No, he's coming here."
They both looked at the innocent cat. "Karu!"
Karupin meowed and shrunk back at their intense glares. They both said – clearly – with those expression on their faces, 'come-over-here-or-I'll-castrate-you'.
In the end, the poor kitty was unable to decide and he wandered out of the room.
"Karu/Karupin!"
