Sakurai Story Time #4: Little Sister Gets In Trouble for Hitting a Kid

(Feat. Shizuku)

Kanade, Yukino and Shizuku: IT'S THE SAKURAI TWINS' STORY TIME CORNER~!

Shizuku: Um…why am I here?

Yukino: You're our special guest, Shi-chan~!

Shizuku: That doesn't answer my question.

Kanade: What do you mean?

Shizuku: I've never been on this before, so can you two give me a little background on what we're doing here?

Yukino: Ahhh…w-well, all we do is tell stories to our readers based on our daily lives.

Shizuku: Ah…

Kanade: Do you have anything to tell us about yourself, Shi-chan? I'm sure you've got things on your mind to tell our readers, right?

Shizuku: …

Yukino: Um…Shi-chan?

Kanade: If you're too embarrassed to tell everyone, then you don't have to.

Shizuku: I'm not embarrassed! I want to tell them about how you two left me for Tokyo and it how it affected me greatly!

Kanade: (gasps) Shi-chan…!

Yukino: A-are you sure you should tell them that story?

Shizuku: You told me to tell everyone anything based on our daily lives, right?

Kanade: O-of course, but-

Shizuku: Then I want to tell them about how my frustrations got myself in trouble at school!

Yukino: What!?

Kanade: Y-you actually got in trouble at school?

Shizuku: Yes.

Yukino: Shi-chan… (turns towards Kanade) Kana-chan?

Kanade: I think we and everyone else deserves to know what happened. Because Shi-chan had been hiding it and wants to get it off her chest.

Yukino: Okay. Tell the story, Shi-chan.

Shizuku: It all started a few days after Kana-nee-chan and Yuki-nee-chan left for Tokyo. As soon as I found out about it, I was devastated. I already knew how close those two were back in the day, but my two older sisters, who I cared for so greatly, had left me. I felt so alone because Mom and Dad were working all the time. Every time I got home from school, I would be by myself, doing the chores around the house, cooking dinner whenever both Mom and Dad told me that they'd be coming home late and then, just sitting in my room alone. I didn't feel like talking to anyone nor do anything. I missed my two big sisters already.

School was fine, but while I was usually an independent girl, I wasn't doing my studies well, nor didn't feel like talking to anyone. I was too depressed about my sisters leaving me. I loved them too much to even let them go. But I did. I let them be with each other for their sake.

But the one thing that pissed me off the most was this boy, Sousuke. Now, I can't say he's a bad kid, but since this is a co-ed middle school, I feel like guys can be pretty stupid. Like Sousuke would constantly bother me for no freaking reason. After my sisters left for Tokyo, this started. Sousuke would come over and be like, "Shizuku, babe! Want to hang out?" or "Baby I love you, please go out with me!" And I told him over and over to get away from me since I was still depressed over my sisters being gone. But no matter how many times I told him to go away, he wouldn't leave.

This went on for about…I'd say a week. I was still not over the fact that my sisters left and my parents didn't spend as much time with me. It was lunch time and I was about to walk in the cafeteria to eat when Sousuke comes again and said to me, "Shizuku-chan! What's up?" I was NOT in the mood to talk with anyone right now, not even him. I still wanted to be alone. But he didn't get the picture. I stopped while he was rambling on and on until I heard him say something that made me snap. He was like, "Geez, Shizuku. You're so quiet and stuck up. No wonder no one likes you." I just had it. No one EVER talks to me like that! So, I turned around and literally punched this kid in the face. However, it was a hard punch, and it caused his nose to bleed. As soon as I realized what I did, I was just frozen in fear. I watched his nose bleed fast as he held his hand over his nose, surprised that I just punched him. Unfortunately, some of the other kids noticed and called out to one of the teachers. They told him, "Sakurai-san was angry and just punched him for no reason!" or something like that. They never even realized that I was so frustrated and lonely that I just wanted to explode. I held in my hurt feelings for so long that I couldn't control myself.

Kanade: Oh, my gosh!

Yukino: You told us how lonely you were because of us leaving you, but I never knew you were taking out your frustrations on some guy.

Shizuku: It was his fault!

Kanade: Yes, but that doesn't mean you should punch this dude.

Shizuku: I had no other choice. I got sent to the principal's office shortly after and I told him what happened. "I didn't mean to hit the kid, I was just taking out my frustrations," I told him. He contacted my parents after and they gave me a good scolding when we got home. However, I was still angry, so I let them know how I really felt. I couldn't hide it anymore. I was crying and telling them that I missed Kana-nee-chan and Yuki-nee-chan so much. I was so lonely without them and they seemed to understand. But I knew better not to hit the kid in the face just because he was so annoying and I was frustrated. They gave me a hug and told me that they'll contact my sisters to let them know how much I missed them.

I also had to apologize to Sousuke the next day I saw him. Mom and Dad told me to. So, I went up to him the next day and his nose was bandaged. I apologized for what happened yesterday and he forgave me shortly after. It was all water under the bridge now. He later confesses that he loves me after school that day. I was surprised that this kid, who was annoying me and stuff, actually loved me. I never paid any attention to him or anything, but I knew that he was in the same class as me. He told me that he saw how sad I looked and since no one else seemed to talk with me to cheer me up, he went in and did it himself.

Kanade: A boy liked you?

Yukino: Wow! First time you had a first love!

Shizuku: Unfortunately, I politely turned him down. I told him I was just not ready to fall in love yet. He understood that and both of us bid each other farewell. After a while, Kana-nee-chan and Yuki-nee-chan had sent me some pictures of how they were doing in Tokyo and that made me happy. However, it still pained me that they were together.

Yukino: And that's when we came to Hokkaido on Christmas, right? You told us how lonely you were when we were gone and how it pained us to see you sad like that.

Kanade: Then, we told you that we still loved you, no matter how far apart we were. And, we made up.

Shizuku: (hugs both of her sisters) I love you Kana-nee-chan, Yuki-nee-chan. I'm so glad you didn't forget about me. If it weren't for both of you or Mom and Dad, I would've gave up. I wouldn't have been here right now.

Yukino: We love you, too, Shi-chan.

Kanade: We'll always love you, Shi-chan. You're our little sister, so there's no way we could forget you.

Shizuku: Kana-nee-chan…Yuki-nee-chan…*sobs*


A/N: Sometimes, these story times can be sad. But I did my very best on this one since I couldn't come up something that causes Shizuku to snap. Anyways, feel free to give out any suggestions, questions or concerns and don't forget to review~! ;)
