What goes on? I'm back with the second chapter of this story and… I feel hot. Anyway, I was reading some ask Kuroha blogs and gained inspiration for this chapter, also I will write an oneshot soon based vaguely around the prospect that Kuroha becomes very bratty sometimes. Well, I should probably start Etch-A-Sketching this chappie before I become a melted Author-cicle. Enjoy~~

Oh and here is the review response for the last chapter:

Heartachequisition: You're my first review! Thank you for the advice and I'll try to observe it. I love Sassy!Shin and don't even get me started on Yandere!Kuroha. I'll check out the KagePro Page on AO3 because, really, it pisses me off at the lack of love on ~~

Disclaimer: I obviously own Kagerou Days. I just do the disclaimers so no one assassinates me.

:/: Chapter 2: Week One: Flour-watching

After Konoha asked me to be his partner and I had a mini panic attack in the middle of the street, I decided to skip home and research 'flour-watching'. No, seriously, I went home and spent like three hours reading blogs on how to care for your flour-child. After sitting down and being in awe by the fact that people actually wrote blogs dedicated to this bull, I read up on everything I would need for this project. I actually started laughing through one tumblr blog that said the most idiotic and nonsensical things, things like 'Don't play with knives around it' and 'Remember to don't curse around it either', friggin' seriously? What, when it grows up it'll end up in a bad bread gang or some shit like that? At around 11, after eating dinner and taking a bath I went to sleep dreaming about stabbing flour with knives.

Tuesdays suck ass too.

I woke up late the next morning which lead to a morning of cursing, falling and all around bullshitting. It just so happened that that Tuesday in particular our neighbour's Rottweiler, Tinkle, escaped and I had a bacon sandwich in my hand and, long story short, I'm pretty sure I broke and Olympic record or something because, damn, I swear there was smoke behind me. Adding insult to injury, I was still late and I twisted my left ankle after slipping on the waxed floors of my school. I then proceeded to be bored out of my mind in the Infirmary because the nurse wanted to ensure my 'safety and wellbeing' and all that crap. I would've preferred anything to being stuck twiddling my thumbs on the rumpled bed of the nurse's office. Hell, I'd prefer watching that Days of Our Lives crap with Momo to this kind of torture.

The worst part…I didn't even get to eat my sandwich.

I'm not sure when but I fell asleep a little while after my mental rant.

_Xx My Crazy Boyfriend xX_

"Hey d'ya think he's really okay?" an unfamiliar male voice whispered.

"I really hope he's fine. Nii-chan is prone to danger so it doesn't surprise me much," another voice. Vaguely reminds me of my sister's but I'm far too comfy to open my eyes at the point, go bother someone else.

Apparently I said it out loud since another voice chuckled, "It seems Shin-Shin wants us to go away," my sleep-addled mind somehow registers the voice as being Kano's. If Kano was here, it most likely means that Seto and Kido are there as well, ah, well; I'm not getting up so they could go screw themselves for all I care.

"Hey, Momo, you sure this guy's your brother? He seems a bit crude." The unfamiliar voice again. So I said that out loud too huh?

"Yes you did. Please wake up Taro, we're worried about you," Ayano's voice is clear and I instantly shoot up in the bed, startling everyone in the room. I glance around and realise that all of my friends are here (read: people that I tolerate) and, with the exception of Kano, they all look pretty worried.

It's around that time, I realise that there is a brat clinging to my sister. I then recall that he called her Momo. He looks irritated, his brown eyes narrowed and his mouth set in a firm frown. He had spiky light brown hair and wore a light blue long sleeved shirt. He was wearing khaki shorts and blue sneakers. He looked like he was 8. "What is a kid doing here?" I mumbled.

Ayano chuckled, "Yep, he's alright." I scratched my head while still staring at the kid, my mind trying to process what's going on.

"Hey, take a picture, it'll last longer weirdo." he tightened his grip on Momo's skirt. I racked my photographic memory trying to remember his face but, blank.

"I don't think I've seen you around, kid," I said before stretching out my hand, "I'm Shintaro, Momo's older brother." The kid seemed to be taken back by this before he smirked, "Hibiya."

"Wow. Momo, I think Shintaro hit his head, he's being friendly." I heard Ayano whisper to my sister.

"Hey! I can be amiable if I want to!" I defended causing the girls and Kano to laugh. I surveyed the room before smiling, realising that yes, here are people that actually care about my wellbeing enough to waste a lunch break to check on me. Suddenly I noticed a certain presence missing. A white-haired individual, "Where's Konoha?"

Kido smirked instantly, "Oh, you notice Konoha missing but not Seto?" I looked around once more and noticed that yes, the human tree frog was missing and yes I noticed Konoha was missing first but, hey, Kano and Kido are here so I just thought he'd be with them.

"Well, Konoha is easier to see than Seto, " I tried lamely.

Momo and Ayano giggled, "Yes because a boy wearing glow-in-the-dark neon green is hard to miss," Kido laughed. I whined before glancing back at Hibiya who was still holding on to Momo.

"You never told me what the deal was with him," I pointed out changing the subject.

Hibiya rolled his eyes, "I'm Konoha's younger brother, the airhead forgot his lunch and stuff at home so I had to come give it to him."

I looked at him like he grew two heads, "Couldn't he have bought lunch? And as far as that matter goes, aren't you like seven?"

I could practically hear Hibiya snap and that was enough to make me smirk, "And here I thought you were a nice guy," he mumbled, well that was his mistake.

At that moment Seto and Konoha walked into the room, both munching on Ayano's homemade sandwiches (don't even ask about how I knew that). However that wasn't what caught my eye. What caught my eye was the sack of flour that Konoha was cradling with a straight face. I think what made me lose it was the fact that he walked straight up to me, pushed the sack in my face and said, "Look. It's a girl..." with a straight face. No, Kano wasn't the only one who laughed because I'm pretty sure that Hibiya needed oxygen after that line.

I gave an uneasy smile and held my… child(?) for the first time, "Right… did you name it?" Konoha moved forward quickly and placed his pale hands over its tuff-y thingies and glared slightly at me (seriously it was just a narrowing of eyes, it was still blank-ish), "She's a girl… don't say that around her." I stared at him. Seriously wasted like a minute and a half just looking at him before sighing, "Fine. Did you name her?"

He brightened instantly actually smiling slightly, "No… I was told to wait for your input…" I raised an eyebrow, "Who said that?" He turned around and pointed at Seto who was still eating his sandwich, "What?"

I turned back at Konoha ignoring the sound of Kano's giggles, "Well how about we name her Panini?" Konoha looked like he was considering it before Hibiya pitched in, "Konoha-nii, Panini is a type of bread." Konoha's eyes widened before he narrowed them again and I got the message loud and clear, no bread jokes, "Right, right sorry. Maybe a colour?" Konoha nodded, "…Wait… I don't know your favorite colour…"

I shrugged and was about to answer but, "Shintaro likes red. Not a good name for a kid, it's the colour of blood." Thank you so much Momo. BTW Akira is a great name. Konoha was about to open his mouth to shoot the idea down but I was quicker, "Fine, what's your favorite colour?" He seemed to contemplate the question seriously before looking down at his armband things and shrugged, "Black. Maybe green?" I perked up, "Midori! We'll call it- I mean her Midori!" Konoha smiled and I looked around the room ensuring that the family had no more wise-cracks before smirking along with him. Well objective number one complete.

The rest of the day was spent collecting notes from Konoha on the stuff I had missed that morning and sleeping during Chemistry. I would have stayed awake but we weren't getting a chance to blow anything up and so I was disinterested. Once again I met Konoha at the school gates and once again we walked down the streets in amiable silence. I would have left at his gates like the day before but Hibiya was petting the cat on the patio and the runt had invited me in. Hey, I may be a sarcastic bastard, but I'm not a jerk, those guys are just plain uncool. I walked through the unhinged gateway and joined Konoha as he walked through the whitewashed door and into the living room.

It was big. Okay that was underwhelming, it's a three-story house of course it's big but that's the only way to describe it. It was like walking into one of those clichéd mansions that you see on those chick-flicks. Everything was white and sparkly, hell there was even a piano under the stairway that was tucked away into a corner of the room. "Make yourself at home." Hibiya had said before he rushed off somewhere past the wall of the living room.

"Holy shit." I whispered lowly as I turned around slowly taking in all of the details.

"Welcome home Konoha-ni- Oh hi!" I heard a high-pitched voice and turned around to see a little girl holding the cat that Hibiya had been petting before. She looked to be around eight, much like Hibiya but she had short black hair. She wore a blue dress with a white undershirt. She had on white knee-high stockings with deep blue bows stitched to the side and blue Mary-Janes. The black cat slipped from her grip and slipped its way around Konoha's foot causing him to bend down to pick it up and pet it, "I didn't know that you would make friends so quickly Konoha. My name is Hiyori, Konoha's younger sister."

I took her hand and shook it quickly realising that they were probably adopted. But to know for sure I'd have to see at least their father because Konoha's albino so I couldn't tell for sure. "Shintaro." She shook my hand with a huge smile on her face before looking immediately at the sack of flour in my hand that, thanks to Kano and Momo, had a poorly drawn smiley face on it with blushies and blue bangs. "It's for a project." I said quickly before she could get any misleading ideas.

She swallowed and smiled again, "Right. Umm, can I get you anything?" "Coke." I answered immediately. Her smile faltered again, "We have Pepsi," I shrugged, "Pepsi's good too." She bowed slightly and rushed off to what I presumed was the kitchen. Konoha had the cat cradled in his arms as he began climbing up the stairs, "My room's this way… Coming?" I stared dumbly at his outstretched hands and the dangling black bands before shaking my head and walking up the first step,

"Unbelievable."

Well that was chapter two! Chapter three will be Shin-Shin and Kono-chan's awkward room visit. No nothing weird is gonna happen, it's far too early for that and this isn't a pairing like Ereri where the spark is instantaneous and both parties just ignore it, it's a build-up pairing like Yullen, without the hate. This was actually shorter than the last chapter by a lot but if I had continued it would have been a super chap and that's not right. Anyway, I still need like suggestions for pairings and I also need help pairing Mary with someone. Yes there is a reason why she hasn't been introduced yet; her, Ene and Haruka and that's because they have their parts to play in this story. I'm able to make the HaruEne work just barely but, because of Mary's roll in this fic, I'm having trouble pairing her up with someone and figuring out how I'll get the romance to work. Oh well, author musings for another day. I have to go now since Ambrose is currently getting the crap beaten out of him by Triple H and because I have to get to doing a poll for 'Whirlpools and Fans' check it out if you're a Sasunaru fan. Now that that shameless advertising is done; Watch out for Azami, Review, Favorite, whateves and that's all from your neighbourhood angel
