Maybe It's Not a Bad Idea
"A break?" Mitsuki resounded.
Yuya nodded.
Mitsuki was at a loss for words. She didn't need a break! It's not like she hated Yuya; I mean, yeah, she needed her space, but a break. That was a bit of overkill.
"Mitsuki?" Yuya wondered.
The purple-blackette turned around silently, her head hung low.
"You moron…" she whispered in a shaking voice.
"Huh?" Yuya didn't quite hear.
"YOU MORON!" Mitsuki snapped, whipping her head up.
"Mitsuki?" a shocked Yuya gasped.
"JUST BECAUSE I KEEP MY DISTANCE FROM YOU, DOESN'T MEAN I NEED A BREAK!" the angry teen ranted on.
There was a period of silence between the two. Suddenly, Mitsuki's eyes shrunk slightly, her mouth gaped, and her blood ran cold.
'What's wrong with me? Why have I just gotten angry?' she wondered in her mind.
Yuya sighed. He walked over to the younger girl and pet her head; Mitsuki blushed.
"It's okay, Mitsuki. I understand if you don't want to." Yuya smiled.
Then, after a while of petting, Yuya started to walk ahead. Mitsuki couldn't find the right words to describe what happened.
'Maybe… It's not a bad idea.' she thought.
"Wait! Onii-chan!"
Yuya turned around in surprise. Mitsuki had started walking towards him.
"I actually think that… well, maybe it's not a bad idea." she stammered, finally caught up with her stepbrother.
Yuya's mouth gaped slightly, but then turned into a smile.
"Okay… I'll tell Torii." he said, "But for now, let's get home and eat some dinner."
Mitsuki smiled and nodded in response.
Later…
Mitsuki had just finished dinner and went upstairs to her room. Hiyori was already there waiting for her.
She explained to her the plan for swapping sisters and-"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" an angry Hiyori snapped, "I say "No thank you!" to swapping!"
She turned away and crossed her arms. Mitsuki raised her eyebrows.
"Why not, Hiyori-chan? What's wrong?" she inquired.
Hiyori shot a glare her. "Because, if I leave that little sister of his over here with Onii-chan, then there's no telling what she'll do to him!" she snapped, clenching her fists.
Mitsuki sighed.
'Of course… Hiyori doesn't want to leave him. She thinks that something will happen if she does.' she thought with a groan.
"Come on, Hiyori! I said that I would, so I would!" she retorted.
Hiyori jolted. "You did what, now?!" she snapped again.
"Yes! I did! Now, you don't have to come if you don't want to, but I'm going!" the purple-blackette huffed.
Hiyori didn't speak to Mitsuki that entire afternoon the next day, she was still cross with her.
"That Hiyori-chan… she's such a pain!" she said as she walked down the path to school.
Then, when she got home, Mitsuki saw Hiyori waiting for her at the door.
"Hiyori-chan? Are yo-" but she was interrupted by the ghost-girl tackling her to the ground!
"Hey! What are you doing?!" she snapped, starting to struggle.
"I'm so sorry Mitsuki-san! I was a complete and total jerk to you! I don't care if you want to go, I'll go too!" she sobbed dramatically.
Mitsuki sweated and bared her teeth in embarrassment.
"Th-That's okay! You're forgiven, just please get off of me!" she stammered, blushing.
"Okay…" the orange-haired girl sniffled, sitting up.
Mitsuki sat up as well, trying to wipe the blush off her face.
*Knock, Knock*
Both girls gasped upon hearing the noise.
"Mitsuki? Are you okay?"
It was Yuya.
"Yuya Onii-chan!" Hiyori exclaimed, her pink eyes bubbling up.
Mitsuki rolled her eyes.
"Uh, no. I mean yes! I'm fine, don't worry." the purple-blackette stuttered.
"Oh, well, dinner's ready, so, come down whenever you're ready," Yuya responded.
Then he left.
"Mitsuki, let me eat dinner with him this time!" Hiyori pleaded, begging on her knees.
Mitsuki was a little hesitant. She had let Hiyori eat dinner with Yuya before by letting the ghost girl possess her, but she had missed out on a lot of Yuya's cooking because of it. Not that she really minded, she still got a full belly. However, she wanted to eat too.
"Maybe another time," Mitsuki said at last, standing.
Hiyori grumbled under her breath.
After dinner, Mitsuki started packing clothes and other things she'd need for staying over at someone else's. She sighed. She had had a slight hatred for men because of her past experience with them, and now she's going to another man's house for a week. She was surprised that she had actually said yes to this! Hiyori said that she was coming as well and Mitsuki said that was okay.
Yuya was waiting out in the living room for Mitsuki to come down. He was going to walk her to Shotaro's house and then pick up Moa. He sighed. Despite their difficulties in the past, he was going to miss her. He gripped his racing heart. Then, he heard footsteps approach, so, he straightened himself up. Mitsuki had her luggage ready and she had her usual expression on her face.
"You ready?" Yuya asked his younger step-sibling.
She gave a reluctant nod.
Shotaro's house wasn't too far away, so, they weren't all that tired after walking there; after all, it's good exercise too. When they got there, they were greeted by Shotaro and his family-Mom, dad, and Moa. Mitsuki saw Moa and gave her a wave. After exchanging the rules of this whole shtick, Mitsuki was ready to start the week.
However, before taking off, Yuya said, "See you later, Mitsuki." and then he gave her a hug.
Mitsuki blushed furiously but then hugged back. So, Yuya took Moa, and Shotaro took Mitsuki.
All was set.
Done! I know it's been awhile since I last updated this story, but no one has been posting reviews or anything, so I thought no one cared about it. Not just that, I've felt bored with some of my stories. I don't think I'm going to post anymore new stories until I finish all the ones that I've barely made a dent in. I'm going to finish this one first.
R&R!
