AN: Okay. *deep sigh* First, I should warn you that my writing is kinda uhh.. 'messy'. Second, I plan to continue this for about 7 to i-don't-know chapters ( according to shidou's harem ). Third, Kurumi( the holy goddess of rape and sexiness) will be coming soon~ Lastly, read and hate me.

Wake up, turn-off the alarm clock, wash your face and cook some dishes. It was his normal routine for a Saturday morning. At exactly Eight o'clock, Shido has to cook for at least 6 people. For Tohka, Yoshino, Kotori, the Yamai sisters and also for himself. But today, nothing seems to be functioning right. His body felt soggy and the environment was especially cold for a summer.

His alarm that was set at eight still hadn't rung. He woke-up by himself due to uneasiness caused by the uncaught coldness even though the blanket was covering his whole body. 'I have to make breakfast…' He sat straight with a weak pose as his clock alarmed. He reached for it with a trembling right hand that he ignored.

The room was quiet. The TV was off, the table was clean and the kitchen was spotless. No one was awake with exception to Shido. He walked towards the Kitchen, slouching and dragging his feet. 'Maybe egg and bacon would be enough.' He was huffing visible air from just a walk from his room down to the kitchen.

The ingredients he was currently holding were in the same weight as a 40kg plastic bag, or so he was thinking. 'Something's-' His vision was starting to trick him. '-wrong.' The world was distorting in a roundabout way.

*Crack* An egg fell to the ground.

*Bam* The bacon that was wrapped in plastic was the second.

*Thud* A body of a teenager was the last.

- 8: 15AM –

The nice-soft pillow was amazingly comforting to hug. Her red hair was scattered throughout the bed like she was throwing tantrums among her sleep. Her blanket was strewn exactly below her feet.

The sunlight mend its way towards her eyes, trying to wake her up from sleep. "Fueh-"

She sat, half awake. Her eyes were still squinting from the sudden wake-up call.

"Ah." She realized something. First, it was early in the morning. Second, she didn't get much sleep. Third, she was off-duty for this Saturday. Which means more time with her beloved brother.

Kotori scrambled to her feet. The mirror in front of her was reflecting a girl that was combing her blazing red hair with two black ribbons and a white spaghetti dress. She chose 'commander mode' even though she was not on the job.

'Alright. This should be fine.' She stood up and opened the door with an expression of looking forward for today's events.

Her footsteps down the staircase were silent. It wasn't intentional. Not like she was sneaking-up on her brother or anything.

Her eyes twitched as she noticed that something was off. Normally, she could smell that something was cooking from the staircase. 'Is he cooking a new breakfast?' She continued to walk towards the living room.

"Ne, Shido. Are you making-" Kotori just entered the room. "Shido!" Her voice became a shout.

She saw her brother out cold on the kitchen floor and headed for it. "Shido, what happened…?!" As soon as she touched Shido's body, she knew what was up.

'His body temperature's high.' Kotori bit her lip.

"Nngh…" Shido yelped at a minimum volume as he regained consciousness. He imagined his body as a gelatin. All wiggly and wavy. His sense of touch was malfunctioning to the point where everything was below 0 degrees Celsius.

"K-koto...ri…."

"You idiot! You should have stayed in bed if you weren't feeling well!" Her nagging could never have been louder in Shido's ears.

"Who…" He wheezed. "…would make breakfast…?"

"We'll do something about it!" She was getting worried and irritated. If that was the only reason he had, who wouldn't be?

Before she continued to rant at Shido the door to the outside was heard swinging open with footsteps of about four people then banging close.

"Shidouu! What's for breakfast?" An amazingly gleeful voice came from the entrance. She was in a blue track suit top and short jeans. With her dark-purple hair and eyes, she was an 'impossible' beauty.

"I predict it to be bacon strips!"

"Objection. It is fried eggs."

The Yamai twins hit the jackpot. Being twins, they look exactly alike starting from their orange hair, polka dot long sleeved blouse, short jeans and height.

"Toasted…bread…." Yoshino's small voice accompanied her small but cutely built body. Her light blue dress complimented her blue-eyes, blue haired appeal.

[With butter please~] Yoshinon, the white pirate rabbit puppet, commented.

They were rowdy. But that was only before they entered the living room.

"Shido?!" The first to see the Itsuka siblings was Tohka who came running as soon as she saw them.

"Good timing, Tohka." Kotori was letting Shido's head rest in her lap. "Carry this guy into his room and make him rest."

Tohka knelt down beside Shido and Kotori. Looking at Tohka, it looked like she was the one suffering. "What happened to Shido?"

The twins went near to Shido. Kaguya knelt with one leg and held his right arm. "It feels like he came from the underworld!"

The other twin, Yuzuru, checked to confirm it. "Conclusion. High temperature resulting to high fever."

"Shido-san…." The petite girl looked down. The temperature in the room declined in 1 degree Celsius with her depression.

"I'm…..fine." Shido sensed that his throat was as dry as a desert. He was getting all the air he could get. Every time he did, he would turn paler and paler. And now, he was trying to stand up with the assistance of the floor.

He was finally on to his knees. Just by that, he was already exhausted. What more if he walked?

Shido felt his whole body being an invertebrate like jellyfish. He was staggering as he stood up. That was all he could do before he was left collapsing right back to the floor.

"""""Shido!"""""" From behind, Tohka assisted him by the shoulder. The Yamai twins were on his right arm and hand. Yoshino and Kotori were in the left respectively.

"Baka! I told you to take it easy!" Kotori yelled.

Yoshinon looked like a koala clinging to Shido. [Big boys need to rest too~] Yoshino nodded to this.

"Agreement. Rest is good for the body."

"As your owner, I order you to recreate your energy."

Tohka was in puppy dog eyes. "If rest is good then Shido should sleep." She was imposing it to him as an obligation.

He heard all of their comments. Rest. That was all that they were suggesting him to do. 'Maybe I should.' Besides, he already proved to himself that he was useless and a complete burden at his current state.

"Mmm…" He nodded feebly as his eyes felt like weights. He rested his back to Tohka who had enough strength to assist him.

"Carry him up." Kotori said. Carry she said.

Tohka followed like it was natural. She placed her arm to support Shido's back and carried him. Way to carry a man in bridal style. No. More like a corpse carried in bridal style.

"Whaa.." Shido voiced a displeasure. Unfortunately, it sounded more like a wail that didn't reach anyone's ear.

He was moved from the Kitchen floor to his own bed with an embarrassing bridal carry by Tohka. His pride must've been hurt somewhere but all in all he was thankful.

The bed sheets rustled as his back rested to his soft comfort zone named bed. Tohka covered him with two layers of blankets.

She was still wearing a sad face out of concern. "Get well soon, Shido." She was pouting.

Shido saw her gloomy expression. He felt bad for getting them all worried. When Tohka was sad or depressed Shido always does a magic trick to make her feel better.

His right arm reached the kneeling Tohka. Abracadabra.

It was a pat to the head. She didn't see it coming.

When she looked at Shido straight to the eyes, she knew that he was saying "I'll be fine." As he smiled at her.

"Muu…" Little by little, her mood brightened as Shido caressed her head. Little by little, her face turned sunny-side up with a lightly flushed cheek.

[We brought some fresh water~] The puppet just blew the lovey-dovey atmosphere with a bang to the door. "Excuse….us…." Yoshino had some towels on her hand.

Yuzuru was holding a basin full of cold water. Kaguya had a box of what we know as a medical kit. Kotori must have done 'do this and do that' to them.

Shido has it lucky. Girls aiding him like they were some hot nurses exclusive only for him. Really lucky with a capital b.

"Tohka! Yoshino! Help me for a sec!" Kotori yelled from the kitchen.

Tohka's hair-tie twitched like a dog's ear.

"C-coming…." Yoshino's reply sounded useless. [Hai, Hai~!]

Two girls are now eliminated from Shido's bedroom. Only a pair of twins left.

"Confirm. Yoshino and Tohka have exited the bedroom's premises."

"?" Shido thought that he heard Yuzuru say something. Now more than ever, he didn't trust his senses. The ceiling that he was currently trying to figure out looked like he was underwater. Not a very good sign of trusting your senses.

Both of them looked at each other with star-like eyes. 'Chance!' The twins thought at the same time.

xxxxXXXXxxxx

"Ara ara~" A girl with a red right eye gleamed towards the Itsuka residence. "How seductive of you, Shido-san~"

Her hair that swayed with the wind revealed her left eye. A gold clockwork eye. Her elegant Gothic Lolita astral dress with the theme of black-orange were a supplement to her pale white skin. Anyone that saw her would go loco by just seeing it.

The astonishing beauty she had, and still has, remained in the dark silhouette of the pole beside her.

"Leaving an opening like that-" She licked her moist lips. "-it's a really tempting offer~"

As soon as she eyed the target of her desire, she laughed softly but maniacally and disappeared from the shadows.

AN: How was it? Review if you have some bad comments or some suggestions. I'll really appreciate it. =)
