Chapter 6

The next few days after my interrogation were more or less peaceful. Komachi didn't pester me too much about Shiina and the gals in the club didn't try to pry either. But like all good things, they come to pass. Come Saturday morning and I painfully wake up to the weight of some heavy force that has been dropped on my stomach.
"Aghhhhhhhhhh!" I cry out in pain. I open my eyes to see Komachi laying on her back…ON MY STOMACH!
"'Morning Onii-chan," She greets me with a carefree grin. "You're gonna be late for your date- I mean meeting with Yukino and Yui senpai if you don't get up soon."
"What the heck, Komachi!" I push her off myself, "Did you just friggin' Swanton Bomb me?!"
Her only response is to knock on her head with her tongue sticking out "Tee-hee"
"Sheesh," I look at the clock and see that I have plenty of time still. "What do you mean I'm going to be late, I have two whole hours left before I'm supposed to meet them."
"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Komachi just shakes her head in disappointment. "Did your dates with Shiina Onee-san always go like this?" She points at me, "Look Onii-chan, I hope you don't go out with your girlfriend looking like the way that you do now."
"What's wrong with how I look?!" You're really starting to hurt your Onii-chan's feelings.
"Your hair for one thing, Onii-chan. No girl is going to want to be with a guy whose hair is as long and unruly as yours. When was the last time you even cut it?!" I don't know…a few months ago… "Also, shave that stubble off your face. You look like a pedo, Onii-chan."
"Komachi…stop it…your attacks are super-effective!"
"I'm just being honest for your sake, Onii-chan. Ooh, that must've scored me a lot of Komachi points!" Komachi exclaims. "Don't worry, though. Okaa-san and I have already made an appointment for you at the salon today."
Even my own mother thinks I look like a pedophile… I'm just about ready to commit Seppuku! "W-what time is the appointment…"
"It's in thirty minutes, Onii-chan" she says as she checks the time. "You'd better hurry up!"
With that, she dashes out the room. I get up and out of bed and head to the bathroom. I look myself in the mirror and examine myself. Dang…I have to admit, I am starting to grow into the pedophile profile quite well… I then quickly get dressed and head downstairs.
When I get downstairs, I find Komachi sitting on the couch talking to someone over the phone. I decide to leave for the salon without disturbing her before she calls out, "Onii-chan."
I turn back and see that she's still on the phone, but she is holding some kind of photo up. I walk over and take the photo from her. It's a photo of the famous actor Masaki Okada, one of the few actors I can personally respect. But I have no idea why she is giving me this photo. Suddenly thinking it may be autographed by the man himself, I squeal like a little gir- I mean a dignified young man and look at the back. Disappointed, I raise my eyebrow in Komachi's direction for an explanation.
Sensing my confusion, my cute little imouto rolls her eyes in a disgusted manner and sighs. "Onii-chan, I gave you this photo so that you can tell the hair stylist how you want your hair" she then points at the photo and grins, "and THAT'S how you want your hair."
"Wow Komachi, you really think I can pull this hairstyle off?" Perhaps my cute little imouto has some faith in me after all. "I don't know if this would suit me."
"Don't worry, Onii-chan. After all my hard, pain-staking research, this was my secret final weapon to land you a girlfriend if all else fails." Komachi looks dead serious…for only a second. Then she's back with her toothy grin. "But looks like you didn't need my help in the end anyways, haha. Now I'm going to use it as a tool to expand your harem!"
"Oh I see- hey wait! What do you mean expand my hare-"
I'm cut off by Komachi as she pushes me out the door of my own beloved home. "Now hurry up or you'll be late for your appointment! Oh, and make sure to practice proper posture on your way to the salon!"
"Ittekimasu..." I mutter as I am ousted from my own house… by my own sister!
"Itterashai!" I hear calling back and in a fainter voice, "Yukino-chan and Yui-chan are both going to be so shocked when they see the fruits of my labor, fufu!"
I have a bad feeling about this…
-Yukinoshita P.O.V-
It was 11:55 A.M and I was under the shade of a tree near the train station as I waited for my fellow classmates. Of course, I was the first to arrive as I was the one who suggested to go on this date- I mean meeting. Yes, I was the one to decide to hold our meeting today, after all. The primary objective of this meeting was to collect data to use for the request the school district has tasked us with. But that isn't to say I don't have other plans… I admit to myself. Actually, I plan to show Hikigaya-kun… my womanly charms… Kyaaa! Why does my face feel so hot?
"Yahallo, Yukinon!" My attention is turned towards a running Yuigahama. "You're so early!"
"Good morning, Yuigahama-san" I greet her. "As the organizer of this 'meeting', I feel that it is my duty to come before you."
"Heh, I noticed how you said the word 'meeting', Yukinon" Yuigahama smirks. "It looks like you're excited about our date with Hikki!"
I clear my throat, "Make no mistake, Yuigahama-san. This is no date. It is merely a meeting we are holding to complete a request assigned to us." I then look her over, "Though it looks like you dressed to impress someone." And it was working. Yuigahama was wearing a pair of cute blue short jeans combined with a white T-shirt that was covered by a khaki cardigan. The cardigan loosely fit her body, but tight enough to hint at the voluptuous figure hiding underneath. Needless to say, many eyes were gravitating towards her.
"Look whose talking, Yukinon. You're looking extra pretty yourself, today." I blushed and looked down at myself. I suppose I can't really criticize her when I took almost an hour to decide on whether or not Hikigaya-kun would prefer the red dress or the blue dress, ultimately deciding on the blue since the word "Max" in Hikigaya's beloved Max Coffee in bolded blue. "I'm sure Hikki is going to love it!"
"Y-Yuigahama-san" I stutter, "I didn't, I mean I didn't mean to dress up for Hikigaya-kun!"
"That doesn't change the fact that you did" Yuigahama smiles.
"…" She got me there.
"Anyways, Yukinon. This is a chance to make Hikki our own." She holds her hand out. "Let's do our best and may the better girl win!"
"I-uh…" At last I decide to stop deceiving myself. I know exactly what she means. "Very well, Yuigahama-san" I shake her hand with resolve. "May the better girl wi-"
"Yo," Our moment of consolidation is interrupted by a deep, familiar voice. "Sorry I'm late."
We look at the direction of where the voice is coming from and find a handsome young man with onyx eyes and short, stylish hair looking at us. He is casually dressed in a light jacket and black jeans, and he seemed to be waiting for us. "Yukinoshita? Yuigahama? What's wrong?"
The voice seems awfully familiar, but I just can't seem to guess who this mystery man is. "Excuse me, but do we know you?" I inquire.
"Huh?" the stranger responds. "Very funny, Ice Queen." No…it couldn't be… "You're the one who made us come here today, remember?"
"No way…" Yuigahama mumbles. "Are you… Hi"
"Hikigaya-kun?" I manage to ask. "Are you Hikigaya Hachiman?"
"Uh…yeah?" Our club mate gives us a confused look. "Who else would I be?"
Yuigahama and I look at ourselves and then look back at him.
"NANIIIIIII?!" we exclaim in unison.
Author's notes:
Hey guys, don't mind me. Just shamelessly dropping a new chapter out of nowhere. Haha. But in all seriousness, I do apologize for the long wait, but it couldn't really be helped. Life often gets in the way and you just have to put things on hold sometimes. But since summer is almost here, I should have more time to write. I actually have an idea for another fanfic about our beloved 8-Man that I really want to get out to you guys. I don't know how I'm going to prioritize which story to update (it will probably be up to you readers to decide which one you want more of) although I do plan to keep continuing this story either ways. Be on the lookout, bois. That being said, I should warn you that I am starting University in the fall and will be busy at times.
Anyways, how'd you like this chapter? Like always, if you have any constructive criticism or anything you want to say about my story, leave it in the reviews. I read all of them. Until next time, guys!
P.S- if you want a visual of what kind of hairstyle I have 8-man look at my boi Masaki here: /people/497-okada-masaki
