"Man, I hate jet lag." Kimiko grumbled to herself as she sat on the couch in front of the giant TV. Well, she thought to herself, I'm definitely not getting any sleep tonight. you know, considering how its 2:00 am. Le sigh. "I wonder what's on tonight." Kimiko flipped through the channels, looking for anything interesting before jumping up and almost flinging the remote to the opposite corner. "GEKKAN SHOUJO NOZAKI-KUN IS ON TONIGHT!" Kimiko practically yelled before slapping a hand over her mouth and looking around with shifting eyes. It was times like these that Kimiko was glad the bedrooms were so far away from the living room. "Why must anime characters be so adorable." Kimiko sighed out as she sat back down and rested her right arm on her thigh as she leaned towards the TV. Oh my god, it's this episode, the one with the boys-love comic.

"Ah~ My dear Imouto? Are you not sleeping right?" Kimiko jumped slightly at the voice before realizing that it belonged to Tsubaki and continued staring at the TV.

Kimiko shrugged slightly before answering in a bored tone. "No, I'm fine. Merely jetlagged. What about you?"

"Ah~ Is my dear Imouto worried about me?" Tsubaki smirked slightly before continuing. "I was just getting some water." He turned around to go back up to his room before turning slightly worried eyes back to Kimiko. "You should get some sleep."

Kimiko continued flipping through the channels as he went back to his room. "Hmph. Oh, well. Probably should. After all, Ema wants to take me shopping for some reason. Kimiko shut down the TV before heading up to her room.

As sunlight streamed through the windows and practically blinded Kimiko, the aforementioned girl swore slightly under her breath before turning to face the wall. After not being able to fall back to sleep, Kimiko grumbled before getting up and throwing on the clothes she wore yesterday. She stared at herself in the mirror before running a brush through her hair and pulling it into a ponytail. Turning on the faucet, she brushed her teeth before washing her face and heading downstairs.

"Oh," Ukyo seemed slightly surprised at Kimiko's presence. "Good morning Kimiko. What would you like for breakfast?" He turned back to the stove, anticipating a complicated order.

"Just a piece of toast with some peanut butter and half a cup of orange juice." Kimiko's order was quick and to the point as she headed to the dining room.

"Uhm, sure." Ukyo popped a piece of toast into the toaster they barely ever used. One by one, the rest of the siblings trickled in, along with Fuuto who now sported a very red earlobe he attempted to cover with his hair. As everyone took their seats, Ukyo brought the food to the table and handed everyone their own plate. Considering how small her meal was, and the fact that she didn't even bother eating the crust, Kimiko was the first one finished. Louis was the second and he was about to leave the table before stopping.

"Kimiko?" He asked softly.

"Hm?" She turned her head towards him in acknowledgement.

"May I braid your hair?" Kimiko turned astonished eyes to Louis and every other brother held their breath, wondering what her reaction might be.

"Uhm, sure. But just so you know, my hair is really thick. Do you want to go to the living room to do it?" Louis nodded his head and followed her out of the kitchen. Kimiko sat down on one of the couches before pulling her hair out of its ponytail. Louis started pulling her hair out of her hoodie before one of his fingers accidentally brushed across her neck. With a cringe-worthy screech, Kimiko practically jumped across the room leaving a speechless Louis behind. Holding a hand to the back of her neck, Kimiko stared at Louis with wide eyes.

"Never. Do. That. Again." The other brothers had run into the room after hearing Kimiko screech. Kimiko waited for Louis's nod before making her way back towards him. This time, gathering her hair on her own. "Sorry. My neck's just. Sensitive." Louis hummed slightly in acknowledgement before beginning to fishtail. Unbeknownst to Kimiko, Fuuto was storing away the information about his dear sister's sensitive neck for later use.

"Ooh, Kimi! Your hair looks so nice like this. I've never seen it out of a ponytail." Ema and Kimiko were walking around the mall as Ema looked for new clothes for her sister.

"Thanks." Kimiko flashed Ema a smile. "Louis was a little upset though, apparently it didn't turn out as nice as he wanted it to be."

Ema furrowed her eyebrows as she attempted to figure out what was wrong with the braid. "But it's perfect."

"That's exactly what I said!"

After a couple of more minutes of wandering, Ema dragged Kimiko into a Forever 21. Ema quickly grabbed a couple of things off the racks that she thought would look nice on Kimiko before pulling her towards the dressing rooms. "You have got to be kidding me." Kimiko deadpanned as she looked at the line winding around the clothing racks. "Why do people do this and how dare you laugh at my pain!" Ema laughed even harder at her sister's faux-angry tone. About 5 hours later and the sisters were finally done practically buying her entire wardrobe.

"If we were going to buy this much stuff then why did I even bring clothes from America?"

Ema laughed before asking if Kimiko wanted to get something to eat.

"Yeah, why not?"

"m'Kay. So you can go order and I'll put down our stuff." Kimiko's eyes widened as the thought of having to talk to a store worker. Anxiety twisted her insides as she quickly thought of a way to get out of it.

"Um, i-it's okay. I'll go do it!" Kimiko practically ran to a table for two leaving Ema blinking in surprise.

"What."
