Chapter 8

Hikigaya sighed for what seemed like the millionth time as he and his sister sat on his bike, riding to go meet up with Miura at what had become the usual meeting place of the restaurant.

He was wearing clothes normally suited for school of a button up white shirt and black pants while his sister Komachi was dressed in a white t-shirt, green tank top and yellow pleated mini skirt. She smiled and hummed while keeping her arms wrapped tightly around her brother as she sat on the bike seat behind him.

"So what's Miura's little sister like? Is she as cute as me?" Komachi asked as they turned the corner.

"No one's as cute as you of course" Hikigaya replied, keeping his eyes forward.

"That's kind of creepy coming from you Onii-chan" She replied though still smiled and rested her face on his back. "But as the best big brother in the world, it's still nice and something I love hearing often…. Tons of Komachi points there"

"Right…. So why did you want to come to this?" Hikigaya asked, glancing back briefly.

"Why not?" She grinned brightly. "I need to spend more time around my two future sister-in-laws"

Hikigaya sighed yet again as he spoke, seeing the restaurant in view. "If you talk like that when we get there I'll chain you up to the bike and leave you outside"

"Ohh kinky" Komachi giggled, making her brother cringe. "Don't worry Onii-chan, I won't embarrass you… not too much"

After a few minutes, they came to a stop by the restaurant just as Miura rode into view on her own bike smiling. She was wearing a white shirt, a thin dark blue long sleeved thin sweater over it, and blue short shorts with white sneakers.

She came to a stop and waved at them as she got off her bike.

"Hey, Hikigaya-kun" Miura walked over to them and her gaze went to Komachi. "Oh and you're his sister, right? We met at the hospital once I think"

"Yup, I'm Komachi Hikigaya, nice to meet you again onee-chan" Komachi bowed with smile, making Miura blush slightly. "Thanks for putting up with my brother"

"S-sure.. It's fine" Miura actually stuttered slightly, much to Hikigaya's amusement, though he wisely kept his mouth shut with her and his sister both there and apparently both willing to smack him according to his past experience. "So shall we get going then?"

Hikigaya and Komachi nodded before all three rode away and once again, Hikigaya wondered if girls wore such clothes on purpose to torture men. Considering how tight and short Miura's shorts were he had no choice to ride beside Miura this time. "I wont be tempted by thy tiny short shorts revealing such smooth legs!"

Miura didn't seem to mind though, as she stated it gave her a chance to talk to Komachi a bit as they rode to her house.

"So did my big brother behave on your dates so far?" Komachi asked, grinning.

"It wasn't a date!" Miura and Hikigaya both stated, though the male of the trio was certain he heard Miura's denial seem more like a question and mumble something along the lines of "not entirely" as part of her denial.

"So what do you like about my dead fish eyes brother?" Hikigaya's sister then asked, seemingly determined to embarrass him from his point of view. "I know what a great older brother he is.. But what makes him good bo.. I mean friend?"

"Um.. I uh…were almost there.. We can chat later, you know" Miura changed the subject, with redness on her cheeks, that seemed to be a more common occurrence lately.

Komachi nodded as well as elbowed Hikigaya while sporting a grin, making him regret asking her to come along.. As well as regretting agreeing to the part in the first place.

A short time later, they arrived at what had become a familiar house to Hikigaya much to his strange annoyance. After putting their bikes away, Miura led them and towards the stairs leading to the second floor.

"Where's the party at?" Hikigaya asked, seeing no signs.

"It's outback since it has more room" Miura replied, leading them upstairs and Hikigaya making sure Komachi went ahead of him for obvious reasons. "Mom and dad don't want a mess inside either, so being outback works for that part too"

Miura led them to her room to get their present according, and Hikigaya he had yet to see her bedroom before now and wondered if it would be incredibly girly.

The blond opened the door and glanced back at Hikigaya a moment before leading them in, though she saw him standing awkwardly at the doorway. It was a rather large room with a large bed covered with a dark purple bedspread, a desk with a pc on it, a dresser next to doors from a walk-in closet, a night stand and a small table with floor cushions by it.

"I'm not going to bite you…. Unless your into that" Miura giggled for a brief moment, before remembering that they weren't alone and Komachi was also there, now showing a shit eating grin on her face. "I uh. I didn't mean. ehhem…Let's get the present so you can sign it next to my name on the tag"

They left the room after signing the tag and it no long quite as awkward, as they headed down the stairs to the party in the backyard. There weren't a lot of people there surprisingly as Hikigaya only saw Kiyomi, and several kids her age with her, though no sign of the mom or dad.

"Daddy was too busy at the hospital even though he wanted to come and mom had a meeting come up at her job that couldn't be postponed" Miura stated, answering Hikigaya's unasked question. "That's another good reason you came… she likes you so having you here will help deflect the fact that mom and dad couldn't"

Not more then a moment or two passed before Kiyomi saw them and dashed over, jumping at Hikigaya with out stretched arms at such sped he barely caught her. "You came after all Onii-chan!… oh and you came too sis"

"Your priorities are kind of messed up here you know, Kiyomi" Miura shook her head in annoyance. "Oh and this is Komachi Hikigaya, his younger sister"

Komachi greeted the girl warmly, though Hikigaya noticed a range of emotions on her face as the girl hadn't let go of him yet. She had the look of amusement, wanting to say how cute it was, concern and a tinge of jealously for some reason.

"Your Onii-chan's sister?" Kiyomi asked with wide eyes. "So I get a new pretty sister too? Awesome"

"Your too much, your embarrassing me" Komachi grinned, hugging the little girl. "Your so cute!"

"Anyways… me and Hikigaya got you this gift, Kiyomi" Miura tried to get her sister's focus back on track. "Happy birthday, brat"

"You got me a gift Onii-chan?" Kiyomi exclaimed excitedly. "You're the best!"

"Um.. It was Miura's idea for the gift you know" Hikigaya tried backing away. "You should thank her"

Kiyomi glanced at Miura for a moment before looking back at Hikigaya with a eye melting smile. "But I'm sure it was really because of you, Onii-chan"

Of course the party remained a bit awkward and Hikigaya tried to escape the party on several occasions, though most times either Miura or Kiyomi caught him somehow.

"So how are you holding up, Hikigaya-kun?" Miura asked, walking over to where he was "hiding" from the crowd. "Your not fond of these types of things…. You do keep trying to run away after all.. Like a gazelle who just spotted a group of lions"

"You've been talking to my sister I see" Hikigaya scoffed softly. "I've been forced into more and more of these things lately…"

"Yeah.. Like.. I've herd from certain sullen somebody that It's been my fault for most of these times" Miura folded her arms and smiled. "Sorry about that… I'm used to people that are, well… into these things"

"So I gathered" Hikigaya leaned back against the railing of he porch he was near. "Those were the type of people you hang around when first came to school"

"There you are Onii-chan!" A female voice interrupted them belonging to Kiyomi. "Come on and hang with me… I'm way more fun then my sister is"

"At your age, I doubt it" Miura mumbled under her breath.

Like an over sized stuff animal, Hikigaya was dragged off by Kiyomi back into the party, leaving Miura there on her own.

"Why does it feel like I'm competing with a little girl here?" She mused and shook her head. "Worse then that, I think she's winning"

It was now two weeks before the midterm exams and various high school students would stop by family restaurants to study before heading home. Classes ended early and clubs had been temporarily cancelled by the school in order to make optimum conditions for students to study.

Hikigaya was focused intently on the simple task of transcribing English vocabulary and he likened himself to the monk Shinran, a man that taught to let a higher power support you. Words to live by in Hikigaya's opinion.

After finishing copying out the list of the test vocab words, he decided to get himself a cup of hot cocoa to have while reviewing the words by hiding the definitions with a red sheet.

"Sorry this isn't Saize Yukinon. We'll have the Milan-style pilaf next time, okay? Oh, I wanted to recommend the Diavola-style hamburg steak, but.."

"I don't particularly care where we go. We're going to be doing the same thing either way… wait, is hamburg steak Italian food?"

Hikigaya recognized those voices well.

"Hi-Hikki!"

"Hikigaya-kun"

"Hey…"

Seeing each other, all three froze. "So were like a snake, a toad and a slug meeting for battle out of nowhere.. I guess I'm the slug princess in this instance… though I lack the chest of the slug princess"

Yukino Yukinoshita and Yui Yuigahama had just entered the restaurant in their school uniforms. Unfortunately they were his fellow clubbians. A clubbian is someone who's a member of an arts of humanitarian club. It was Hikigaya's first time using it, though it didn't completely feel dirty to say for him.

"So what are you doing here Hikki?"

"Uh, studying…

"Ooh, that's like so funny. Me and Yukinon came around here to study too. S-so you wanna like study together?" Yuigahama asked as her eyes darted back and forth between Hikigaya and Yukinoshita's.

"I guess if you want to. I'll be studying, anyways"

"There would be no alteration to our original agenda if Hikistudy-kun joins us" Yukinoshita appeared to agree with Hikigaya for once.. Now that was scary.

"Hmm?" Yuigahama seemed puzzled for a moment that the two were on the same page for once. Apparently her brain let the discrepancy go however because she cooed, "Okay, it's decided then!" and trotted over to Hikigaya's table.

Each of the them ordered a drink bar ticket, though when Yukinoshita went to get hers, she seemed to study the machine like a scientist studying a new virus. Her cup was poised in her right hand while she clutched some change in her left hand, eventually looking over to Hikigaya. "Um, Hikigaya-kun? Where do you put the money? I've never used one of these before"

"Say what?" Seriously? what kind of extreme upbringing did you have, Yukinoshita? How do you not know what a bar drink is? "It doesn't'cost money. Like, um…buffet style? It's like that, but with drinks"

"I see. Japan is such a bountiful country" Yukinoshita said as a vaguely clouded smile danced across her porcelain face. Her pontifications on beverage dispensers were baffling to Hikigaya, but she let him go ahead of her. She watched intently as he poured himself a drink, her eyes sparkling as Hikigaya pressed the button, making the machine whirl and fill his cup with soda. Just in case, while Hikigaya was at it, he got another cup and got his hot cocoa he had originally wanted.

Yukinoshita let out a quiet, "I see now…"

After a moment of being uncertain on what she wanted, Yukinoshita finally chose her drink and the three of them sat down at the table Hikigaya had previously occupied alone, with him sitting on one side by himself, while the two girls sat next to each other on the opposite side.

"Alright! Let's get started!" Yuigahama signaled the start of the study session and that's when Yukinoshita and Hikigaya pulled out headphones, siding them over their ears.'

Watching them, Yuigahama's expression turned to shock. "What?! Why are you two wearing headphones?"

"When you study, you usually listen to music to block out noise and make studying less boring"

"This isn't right! This isn't studying together!" Yuigahama objected, smacking her hands down onto the table.

Yukinoshita adopted a thoughtful expression as she placed a delicate hand on her chin. "Then what is studying together? In your opinion I mean"

"You know.. You um, check with each other what's going to be on the test and ask questions about things you don't understand. Oh and you take some breaks too, and then you ask for help with things and after that you exchange information…and sometimes you chat I guess"

"But that's all just talking" She called that studying together, but that wasn't actually getting any studying done. It was actually impeding any studying.

"Studying is meant to be a solitary affair" Yukinoshita stated as if she knew about it well.

Hikigaya had to agree with her. She was basically saying that all loners were good at studying. Yuigahama had a look on her face as if she was unconvinced but then a voice, a rather silent voice, spoke up.

"So it seems our kind is drawn to these places sometimes" The voice belonged to the tall blue haired Saki Kawasaki.

All three looked in her direction, though Hikigaya knew the statement didn't refer to Yuigahama as she wasn't a loner like the others.

"Kawasaki" Yukinoshita nodded calmly to the girl.

"Saki-chan!" Yuigahama greeted, her energy returned.

"Yo!" Guess who's greeting that was.

"So.. Your studying here too?" Kawasaki asked, holding her book bag in one hand as she stood there.

"Yeah.. These two butted in though" Hikigaya grumbled as Kawasaki nodded in understanding.

"That's so mean, Hikki!" Yuigahama pouted and puffed out her cheeks. "We didn't butt in"

"As always, Hikirudei-kun is blunt" Yukinoshita added, shaking her head. "Did you wish to join us, Kawasaki?"

"Um, I guess I can" The blue haired girl shrugged, blushing slightly as she sat next to Hikigaya. "I guess it won't be too painful"

Of course, what was already awkward was now even worse with Kawasaki there. She was just like Hikigaya and Yukinoshita I that she had no experience in things like group studying.

"Yuigahama, you attempted explain what studying in groups is suppose to be like before" Yukinoshita suddenly stated, looking at the pink haired girl. "But your explanation was basically just mostly talking"

"Um. Talking is part of it, yeah" Yuigahama nodded, chewing on the end of her mechanical pencil. "It's better to study with others, so that you can like do better at understanding things.. If like you didn't understand a problem or something, you can ask someone who does to explain it to you, and then you can help them in return on something they don't get"

"Doesn't sound like my thing" Kawasaki grumbled as Hikigaya and Yukinoshita nodded in agreement.

Yuigahama closed her fists and exclaimed loudly again. "But it's lot of fun that way!"

"Her personality is really tiring" Kawasaki groaned, resting her chin on a hand. "Maybe I'll get some earplugs"

"Probably wouldn't help all the way" Was Hikigaya's response, though Yuigahama didn't seem to notice. "Her species is capable of getting her voice to be heard through earplugs and soundproofing walls"

Yukinoshita had apparently put her music on and was ignoring everyone while beginning to study and Hikigaya couldn't believe it was her off all people that had managed to stealthily ignore them all and keep to herself. "You have some good points after all it seems"

Yukinoshita glanced at Hikigaya and gave a slight, barely noticeably smirk in his direction, as if signifying her superiority.

"Damn you woman!"

It was days later and the din of the school grounds grew quiet and the sun began to lower in the sky.

"Hmm…so the darkness begins it's hold" A boy muttered, clenching his fists, making the faux-leather of his fingerless gloves creak as gazed at the two pound weights peaked out of his sleeves. "The time to remove these seals has finally come it seems…"

No one said anything to him, despite their being four other people in the clubroom he was inside at the moment. Zaimokuza was the guy in question and in response, Yukinoshita gave silent contempt, while Kawasaki glared with a twitching eye and Yuigahama looked to Hikigaya for help.

"Zaimokuza, did you.. Need something?" Hikigaya asked with every fiber of his being sighing.

Yukinoshita sighed deeply and glared at Hikigaya, giving him a look that said "Did you have to give him attention?"

"Not like I wanted to talk to him, but he's been here like this for almost a half an hour now.. It was like a really bad boss in a game that just drags on until you either quit or get lucky and finally win at some point" Hikigaya thought to himself with his own sigh.

Zaimokuza rubbed the tip of his nose and gave a laugh, glad that he'd finally been acknowledged. "Yes, my apologies. A good line happened to arise in my mind, so I had to give a voice to it that I might grasp its feel and the cadence of the words. I-"

"How much trouble would I get in for shoving a book down his throat so he can never speak again?" Kawasaki asked out loud as she folded her arms across her chest and opened her eyes that had been closed.

"I wouldn't say anything" Hikigaya mumbled.

Zaimokuza was confident of his talent…sadly, his talent was limited to talking big.

A moment later, Yukinoshita snapped her boo k shut loudly, making Zaimokuza jump slightly. "I thought an author was someone that created something. Have you ever created anything… anything worthwhile that others will care to read?"

"Ngaaagh!" Zaimokuza overreacted as he usually did by throwing back his heads as if something was stuck in his throat. His overreactions were always annoying, though on that day he seemed unusually confident and managed to recover quickly and cleared his throat. "You wont be able to say those things for long! I finally have it in my grasp! The Road to El Dorado!"

"So you haven't actually won anything or done anything worth praise" A certain blue haired girl responded. "What's with this guy?"

"Uh, n-no, not yet.. But once I f-finish my book, I'll be sure to win a prize almost instantly!" Zaimokuza gripped his fists confidently as if he definitely had it in the bag.

"Seriously… what part of that remark contained anything the least bit praise worthy? If he's going to be like that, then I'll be sure to change the course of Japanese game development history with an RPG maker game" Hikigaya thought to himself as he shook his head at the sad excuse for a creator.

"Ha-ha! Listen now and be amazed! For the recent workplace future paper I wrote about my future career and I'm going to email the publisher I'm going to do the work place tour of next year and let them know about how my work will make me the next great author! You understand Hachiman!" Zaimokuza threw back his coat and put his hands on his hips as he grinned brightly and loudly exclaiming his thought process about his future.

"Like hell I do" Hikigaya groaned.

"Your wits have dulled my comrade! I will have my genius discovered by the publisher and that means I'll have developed a connection in the industry!"

"Your being waaay too over confident and optimistic about your chances. Your worse then an eighth grader that brags about knowing an older delinquent kid"

Of course as expected, Zaimokuza was no longer paying attention because he was too busy staring out the window while smirking and mumbling to himself. "…and the studio will be.. And she'll be played by… hehhehe…." creepy much?

"Creepy moron"

Hikigaya nodded in agreement. "Even if Zaimokuza goes to a publisher, quality varies. Though I guess if the idiot believes that much in his future, it will be difficult to convince him otherwise"

"I'll doubt they'll even read your email… it will be straight to the spam folder. Plus, once Hiratsuka sensei finds out your plan, she'll deny the workplace tour next year.."

"Why must you put down my dream? You make me sound as an unwinnable ant…but it matters not! For there are two other so-called nerds interested in a similar idea I have spoken to those two and we have decided that we will venture forth on the journey to the publisher or the tour next year! Those two are most certainly into the BL that is so much the rage these days. Even I paperless before their love of BL, so I had to remain silent while they gushed of it…"

"You should have made nice with your creepy kind…" Yukinoshita sighed, without even setting her eyes upon Zaimokuza. It was doubtful her suggestion was come to pass however. there are some things that people can not compromise on, not matter what.

"I forgot about the workplace future career paper thing was due" Kawasaki stated, crossing one long leg over the other. "Never thought about a workplace tour in 2nd year either"

"A workplace tour?" Yuigahama mused as she fiddled with a few strands of pink hair. Hikigaya peaked at her briefly and as soon as their eyes met, Yuigahama's face reddened, causing her to turn away. Her eyes began to dart around rapidly as she spoke again. "Um Hikki, where are you going on the workplace tour next year?"

"My house"

"Yeah, no. That's not going to happen for you" Yuigahama waved her hand back and forth in a dismissive way.

"Can't surrender yet.. It's too early" Hikigaya thought, before an image of Hiratsuka sensei gut punching him, and Miura possibly hitting him too because she seemed just as ok with that as his teacher did, appeared. "Fine…guess I'll go wherever the other people I'm forcibly paired with wanna go"

"Why so passive, Hikki?"

"It's always the same…I get stuck with whoever's left at the end, taking away my voting rights" Hikigaya shrugged as he replied.

"Guess, I'll have to yank you into my group next year" Kawasaki stated, though she looked away while saying it and felt her cheeks heat up. "I m-mean if he doesn't find a group on his own… a-and if were in the same class still"

"S-so no never decided really" Yuigahama murmured, also looking away.

"Have you decided on where you'd like to go, Yuigahama?" Yukinoshita finally added to the conversation.

"Whatever's closest to my house"

"Your idea is just as bad as his"

"Don't lump me in with the likes of this idiot" Hikigaya protested. "My idea of doing a workplace tour of my house makes a lot of sense as it helps prepare me or my role of house husband. Where are you going, Yukinoshita? A police station? A court room? A BDSM club?"

"Given her nature and personality I can easily picture her as a dominatrix" Hikigaya suddenly pictures Yukinoshita wearing a leather corset, leather panties, thigh high leather boots and holding a whip with a evil grin on her face.

Unfortunately, Hikigaya suddenly remembered there were two other girls in the room too and unintentionally imagined Kawasaki and Yuigahama in similar outfits. Yuigahama, he mused, would probably not be suited do to her strange personality and would probably too embarrassed to do anything dress in such a way, while he did think Kawasaki might look pretty good in a corset. "No, those are bad thoughts.. Banish thee!"

Yukinoshita had inched her chair farther away and covered herself as if worried Hikigaya would try something.

"You flatter yourself… I meant you had the sadistic personality and tendency to look down on people that would suit you to that" Hikigaya folded his arms before clearing his throat. "Anyways…what about Zaimokuza?…"

"W-what about him? I assumed we were done with that thing over there" Yukinoshita managed to somewhat recover as she closed her book with a loud thump. "It's time to leave anyways, it seems"

"Yeah" Hikigaya nodded and stood up, grabbing his school bag as he did.

"H-Hikigaya.. I need to borrow you for something" Kawasaki stated, as she stood up as well, tossing her bag over her shoulder..

"Can't it wait?… the rest and relaxation of home is calling me" Hikigaya replied looking over at the blue haired girl.

"I guess it's not urgent, but it is a personal conversation" Was her reply, making Yukinoshita and Yuigahama both look at Kawasaki, making her uncomfortable.

"Why is this thing so common now? Is it going to be this way every week?" Hikigaya mused to himself and he slumped his shoulders. "Fine.. We'll walk and talk"

Kawasaki nodded and followed Hikigaya out of the clubroom door, both glad to get away fro the awkwardness that just developed. It wasn't as though it was the fault of either of them though, a girl asking to talk to a guy in private usually conjured the wrong image, making the girl uncomfortable, even if it was nothing like what was implied and a guy would usually think the same thing.

It didn't help that it happened to two such awkward loners like Hikigaya and Kawasaki, if anything it only made it worse.

Minutes later, away from the judging eyes of the other two club members, Hikigaya and Kawasaki were walking through the main gate of the high school, though neither had yet spoken.

"So um… what did you want?" Hikigaya eventually took the initiative to break the silence.

"Oh uh, I was just wondering if you… if you w-wanted to go with me and see a m-movie" Kawasaki managed to say with a red face and a bit of stuttering that didn't suit her delinquent appearance. "Wait!… I didn't mean a date or anything! It's with my sister and me. Wait. That sounds even worse!"

Hikigaya have her a strange look and shook his head at his fellow awkward clubmate. "Try taking a deep breath and saying it slower"

"R-right" Kawasaki took a deep breath and thought about being more clear with her explanation before trying again. "I have a younger sister.. Keika and she won 4 free tickets to a movie of her choice at school… and I hoped, thought, wondered? wondered if you'd like to come with us…you could even bring your own sister too if you want"

"A sister?" Hikigaya stopped and wondered what the sister of Saki Kawasaki would be like. Would she be a miniature Saki with the same slightly intimidating appearance, but a surprisingly shy and gentle personality? Or would she be the complete opposite of Saki? Either way would be interesting, though going to a movie with a girl would be … awkward.

"Did I mention the tickets include free medium drinks and popcorn?" Kawasaki interrupted his thoughts.

"Free food? She knows my weakness" Hikigaya felt defeated already. "Um, w-when exactly?"

Kawasaki looked at Hikigaya as they resumed walking slowly down the sideway. She blushed a bit as she responded. "T-they expire in a week's time so the sooner the better.. May even t-tonight?"

"Um, I guess we can get it over with tonight" Hikigaya figure that it would be easier to do it right away rather then let anxiety build from knowing it wasn't for several days. Though that made it sound like they were going on a date. "We aren't obviously.. Her sister and my sister will be there too you know"

"Really?! You'll come with me?" Kawasaki lit up and moved in front of him, putting her hands on his shoulders.

"Y-yeah"

She realized what she was doing and jumped back like he had been electrocuted, looking away with an embarrassed facial expression. "She admittedly looks kind of cute doing that, now that I've seen it a few times. Not that you'll ever get me to say that out loud, even under oath"

"S-so… I have to go and pick up Keika-chan at school.. So can we meet at Okina Jikan movies at say 6?" Kawasaki then said after claming herself again. "I'll t-text you when I get there with Keika-chan"

Hikigaya nodded and watched the somewhat bashful Kawasaki give a small smile to him before walking off.

He stood there for a moment and sighed heavily. "This is regular thing isn't it? Every week I'm going to get dragged off to do something with girl? Am I just a unpaid male escort?"

"Like, guess who, Hikigaya-kun" Said female voice as two soft hands covered his eyes from behind. "Should I give you a hint?"

He felt two soft things pushing against his back, so he quickly pulled away. "The moment you talked, I knew it was you Miura"

"Like, your no fun" She stood there shaking her head and crossing her arms. "So what are you doing here standing around?.. Waiting for a beautiful blond girl to come walk with you maybe?"

"Let me know if you see such a person" Hikigaya stated moments before getting lightly smacked. "Where's a police officer when you need them?"

"Your so mean sometimes, Hikigaya-kun" Though Miura didn't seem to put any weight behind her statement. "So do you wanna do something with me?.. What shall we do? The arcade? Maybe the movies?"

"Go with Hayama" Hikigaya groaned at her. "I'm already going to the movies"

"You are?.. By yourself or with someone?" She asked, squinting at him. "Is it a..girl?"

"What!? No.. obviously not" He declared a bit too loudly, realizing his mistake.

"Who is it?.. Yukinoshita? No, not that bitch. Yui-chan? Probably not" Miura said out loud, as she thought to herself before glaring at him with enough force to put Yukinoshita's glare to shame. "Kawasaki… it's Kawasaki isn't it?!"

"What?! N-none of your business, damn it" Hikigaya backed away from her. "Keep out of my business already"

"T-that's mean you know" Miura said, looking truly offended. "You can't just talk that way to a girl you know!… don't you have manners?"

"So it's ok to you get into my business?" Hikigaya asked in a calmer manner.

"I'll admit I was a bit out of line and whatever but.. You were wrong to yell at me too, you know"

"I guess… um. Sorry?" Hikigaya managed. He might not have liked Miura being so nosy, but he wasn't so cruel that liked yelling at girls, or seeing them cry… so he needed to nip it in the bud and move on.

"Sorry too…So.. Your going to the movies with Kawasaki?.. Is it a d-date?" Miura asked, though in a manner that made it seem like it was really difficult to say.

"No!.. I mean no.. her sister and my sister are going too" Hikigaya figured it was easier to just say it, rather then have her jump to conclusions. "Just as clubmates I guess"

"Oh ok… maybe I should tag along?" Miura looked over at him. "You wouldn't mind a fourth girl would you?"

"Someone wanna strike me with lightning about now?" Hikigaya cringed as he tried to figure out away out if further Miura time. "Maybe hit me with the Gum Gum Jet Bazooka?"

"Um… not sure what to say here, to be honest" He finally said out loud.

"We'll.. Maybe we can go together another day" Miura replied sighing. "Maybe on Saturday?.. I'll text you on Saturday, since I know you'll either forget on purpose or by accident"

"Forgetting on purpose seems the better option" Hikigaya muttered to himself.

"You know what? I'll meet you at the movies later, what time?" Miura suddenly asked, appearing less then an inch from Hikigaya's face, startling him.

"What?!"

"I like just wanna make sure that Kawasaki behaves that's all" Miura folded her arms under her boobs. "Besides, you make it sound like you don't like hanging out with me"

"Ehh… if I say I don't can I leave yet?" Hikigaya sighed, knowing the answer already.

Miura shook her head at him, before lowering her arms. "No… cause I can tell you don't mean it.. So what time are we meeting anyways?"

Eventually, Miura managed to get the time out of Hikigaya though he fought tooth and nail to not. Afterwards, he made his way home, slumped over the entire time even as he reached the door of his house and made his way inside.

"Onii-chan… oh.. You ok?" His sister Komachi asked as she sat on the sofa, looking over at Hikigaya. "Sniff, sniff. I smell… trouble related to a girl?"

"No comment, miss press secretary"

"So I'm right. I figured as much, since my female instincts told me so" Komachi walked over and pulled Hikigaya over to the sofa, sitting him down. "So is it related to Miura-neechan?"

"Don't call her that.. And sorta" Hikigaya sat back, sinking into the couch. "Kawasaki invited you and me to go to the movies with her and her younger sister tonight…"

"I'm sensing a but with Miura's name on it?"

"Yeah… Miura found out because she's nosey and insisted on going with us" Hikigaya replied, tilting his head back and staring at the ceiling. "I swear it's the reverse of middle school where no girls willingly associated with me.. Now I have several girls around me all the time and I wish they weren't"

"Don't be like that, Onii-chan" Komachi put her hand on her brother's shoulder. "Miura seems ok most of the time and having a beautiful girl go out of her way to be around you is a good thing.. And if you have several then all the better, you might get a girlfriend yet! Maximum Komachi points!"

"Now.. Go get changed for the movie and I'll make you an awesome after school snack" Komachi jumped to her feet, revealing her outfit being nothing more then t-shirt and underwear.

"What have I said about wearing pants?" Was Hikigaya's only comment that earned him a shrug in reply.

Hikigaya was pulled back to his feet by Komachi. "Go on then… go get changed, Onii-chan"

A few hours later, Hikigaya and Komachi left the house and headed to the met Kawasaki and her sister at the movie theater a short ways away. Hikigaya chose a simple outfit of jeans, shirt and a hooded sweatshirt while Komachi wore a purple miniskirt, yellow tank top and matching yellow paperboy hat.

Komachi happily hummed a song as they rode atop Hikigaya's bike, with his sister sitting behind him as usual. "So what movie are we seeing, Onii-chan? A horror movie? A action movie? A romantic comedy? Or maybe a children's movie for Kawasaki-chan's sister?"

"No idea.. Didn't think to ask, to be honest" Hikigaya concentrated on peddling, though he was curious about the choice of movie as well. The thought had never crossed his mind, though he expected it was because he was too freaked out by Kawasaki at the time.

After riding a few blocks Hikigaya saw the theater in sight, and peddled a bit faster so they arrived a minute later, coming to a stop near the entrance. He had no idea when Kawasaki was coming though and was almost tempting to text her, but bad experiences with texting a few girls at middle school had made him second guess the idea.

Fortunately, he heard a voice get his attention and it belonged to Kawasaki who was standing there dressed in a dark blue tracksuit top that was open, a black tank top, blue denim shorts, black leggings, and white sneakers. Next to her a was short girl that looked very similar to Kawasaki in some ways.

The short girl had the same blue color hair that was in pigtails and the same purple colored eyes. She was dressed in a short red dress with black sleeves, white sneakers and a white jacket that was unzipped.

"Hikigaya.. And your sister?" Kawasaki asked, walking over to them holding the small girl's hand.

"Yeah. This is Komachi" Hikigaya nodded to her before looking at the short blue haired girl. "Is that your sister?"

"Yes. This is Keika-chan" Kawasaki said proudly. "Keika-chan, this is Hikigaya, the guy I've mentioned few times"

"Um, hey there Keika" Hikigaya nodded with a small smile, though kept it small to stop it from looking creepy as it usually did. "Nice to meetcha"

"Hi, Ha-chan" Keiki smiled brightly at him. "Sa-chan talks about you a lot"

"K-Keika-chan! Kawasaki blushed heavily. "It's not like that… you'll give the wrong impression"

"S-so are we ready to see a movie then?" Hikigaya changed the subject quickly.

"Right.. Sure" Kawasaki nodded back, fighting her blush down. "Hope you don't mind that it's a Animal Crossing movie…the second one"

"So… lets go inside then?" Hikigaya hoped that if they went inside fast enough Miura wouldn't see them there and leave. "Don't wanna stand out side all day"

"Alright" Kawasaki nodded, pulling out the vouchers for the free tickets and concessions.

Just the four reached the door of the theater however, a familiar voice stopped them and Hikigaya silently cursed. "Hikigaya-kun!"

"M-Miura?" Kawasaki exclaimed, blinking rapidly in surprise. "Why are you here?"

Miura looked over at Hikigaya for a moment before looking at Kawasaki. "Hikigaya-kun didn't say?.. I'm here to watch a movie with you four"

"What?"
