Saki Kawasaki's request

Little sisters...

As a person who recognizes the value of a little sister, I find faults with the stereotypical image of the little sister. Only lonely sickos who can't get a girlfriend would want to imagine a blood relative having the hots of them. In that instance, I ought to be proud of myself never crossing that particular line! A sisters beauty is in their innocence and any thought of spoiling that cutesy innocence of theirs means you should go and burn in the second circle of hell.
A true onii-chan aims to protect that innocence, not take it!

"Onii-lonely-chan! Get up!"

But when everyday starts like this, it starts to get pretty annoying.

After getting up for school, I realize Komachi seems more excited then usual as she gazes at the plain wall after getting dressed.

She's daydreaming? Komachi never does that...

Poking her shoulder to break her out of it, she turns around confused at the rein-merging of reality.

"You alright there? You look love-struck or something."

She jumps at my words in shock.

"Uwah! Nooo, why would that be?"

Hmm, I can tell when you're lying Komachi...
But I'll let you off this time. A good brother knows to give his sister space.

"Never mind. No boy is probably gunning for you yet.
Hopefully..."

Her spirits crushed, she whispers.

"Wahh? I don't need your opinion for help Onii-useless-chan."

"Stop with the insults after the Onii, it's minus Komachi points at this point."

And my delicate brotherly heart wouldn't take this! No exceptions!

But wait...

"By the way, help?"

"I'm going out first!"

And before I knew it, she escaped quicker then the bullet-train express in chiba.

You can run but you can't hide Komachi. The suspect needs to return home after all.

Time to begin a new, ultimately meaningless day of school.

Sliding the door open, I blend in anoymity advancing to my seat. Being left alone to think in peace was truly a blessing in disguise.

"Ah Hikki, yahallo."

Face to breast, she bends down to be eye-level which is surprising. I thought my awesome dead fish eyes were a turn off? Please next time, say that before I see such a "splendid" sight or my face will try to emulate the colour of your hair.

"Y-yo."

Today felt like the last few days on repeat. I can pretty accurately predict now how every day goes: I come in, sit down, Yui says hello, I say goodbye, lesson time, break time, lesson time, lunch time, lesson time, service club then debating with my fellow club-members.

A far cry from my first few days here where no one would say anything to me, not that I cared too much...

"Well looks like everyone's back to being comfortable with everyone thanks to you. Now that we've gotten our academic paths sorted out."

Yeah, the right solution was achieved through sheer hard work and mid-sport time confession to a certain popular individual. The one who couldn't turn anyone off from him whatsoever.

Wait, I think there was one who noticed his "obnoxious aura". Hmm nope can't remember who.

"Well that's good news. Now that everything is OK in your clique anyway."

She mutters in agreement. A small timid smile to show for her thanks.

"Yeah, no thanks to you. Still though, won't it be great if Yukinon, me and you got into the same liberal arts class?"

"Urgh."

"What? What's wrong with that?"

Yukino and me in the club room was bad enough. If we were in the same class, that would only be magnified 3 times more. The poor sensei wouldn't be able to get a word off. We'd probably be famous around the school as sociopathic psychopaths hellbent on killing each other.

It goes completely against the peace and quiet I would want.

"No, nothing wrong with it. It's just my grades would probably go down abit...
Yukino loves competition I guess is what I'm tryin to say?"

"Well always your fault Hikki. You do always start it."

Wait when? I'm innocent in this!

"Well, Nicola and Bart were innocent but they were still executed."

"What? That doesn't make sense Hikki. Who the heck are they?"

Behind Yui entered familiar looking girl with bluish-gray hair who very quickly attracted attention.

"Wassup!"

Hina Ebina waved towards the new intruder who was replied with a red frown, obviously not used to the attention. "...Hey..."

She made eye contact with me giving me a harsh glance after. Hey, you're expecting me to help? Sorry, none of my business.

"Come, let's talk, let's talk!"

I would've felt sorry for her if lesson didn't immediately start after...

Relaxing in the club, I consider myself lucky I'm one of the very few to drink Yukino's tea. It's pleasing scent filled the clubroom. A warning label should be used such as beware: may attract stray outsiders into the club.

"Fuahh! Yukinon, make tea for me every morning!"

"Yui, your sexuality is your business but please don't try to involve others."

"Wahh? How did you infer it like that? I didn't mean it like that!"

The clubroom was back into it's comfy state which is something worth of note, especially considering the fact that our future courses are looming oppressively over us. I'm sat enjoying my share of the clubs delicacy reading a book. "The metamorphosis" which told the story about a salesman who becomes an insect-like creature who becomes a drain on his family's resources and income as well as being repulsive.

Family...

I once said that family were just the closest strangers and I still stand by that. Try to show me one family that truly knows each other and I'll show you ten that don't know each other or hate each other (perhaps both). Even if they did, I doubt they share secrets.

One big family comes to mind though I can't remember exactly.

Odd...

3 loud authoritative knocks on the door broke me out of my musing.

"Come in."

In came that same bluish-gray haired girl I saw earlier today. It was Kawa...

What was it? Kawa-Kawasektai? Kawakeki? Kawasomething?

"Hey."

Yukino sets her cup down in declaration.

"Kawasaki-san, what can we do for you?"

That's it! Kawasaki Saki! Knew my memory was impeccable!

"Hey. I-I have a request but only one member is needed."

Huh? That's weird. People that need help don't care how much they get unless they planned it out in advance.

Usually, that's called manipulation.

"Interesting. May I ask why?"

Kawasaki quickly answers quickly as if under pressure.

"Well Hina-my friend I mean, I've got an appointment with tomorrow on our day off."

We had a day off tomorrow which every other student from every other school is slightly envious of.

Yui stands up to re-energize the mood. Erm, you don't need to Yui, maybe Energizer would profit from you...

"Ahh yes! You're going shopping with Ebina right?"

Like a cat caught in the searchlights, Saki freezes.

"R-right, well someone needs to stay home to make sure Keika-I mean my sister doesn't do anything dangerous."

Yukino, no doubt analyzing the information questions the validity of it with good reason.

"Why us? Isn't there no one else too babysit for you?"

"Well, I tried but no-one's available. Anyway, I don't know much people anyway and it needs to be someone Kei-I mean Sis mean will be comfortable with."

Well that's a problem. Well who will sign up for babysitting duty?

I answer my own question when I meet Kawasaki's determined gaze.

"Wait, me?"

"I'm sorry but you're my only option. I'll owe ya for this too. Actually you can add it to the scholarship thing too."

What a conundrum indeed. I planned my weekend to relax by myself, taking care of snotty children is the last thing I want to do.

But she did help me with the president hoax so I do owe her something. It'll be more productive to get this out of the way and done with so I can get back to what I do best. (Doting on my lil sis.)

Yukino and Yui look at me impatiently for my answer. What ever happened to no pressure girls?

"Fine...If no one else can do it then I guess you got no choice."

A sudden look of relief crosses over her. Her scrunched eyebrows relaxing from the pressure.

"Right thanks. I hope I don't regret this. You...
Are a trustworthy person for kids right?"

Hey! I'm not a despicable person like that!

"No worries Kawasaki, he only has the moral code of a petty thug so the worst he could do is steal some money. Don't worry though, I have the police on speed-dial just for him."

Thanks for the support club president. Woohoo for team spirit.

"You wouldn't need to call the police, I can handle such painful matters myself."

She only needed to crack her knuckles to finish that delinquent image. She looked like she could take a gang on if they kidnapped a family member of hers huh? Say didn't she have a brother or something?

"Right, you'll need my addr-my family's address so you know where you're going."

Taking out a small piece of paper, she pressed it on my desk. Her address scribbled on it.

"Please, don't make me regret this."

Holding the paper, Yui and Yukino stared at it. What's the matter, I know both your addresses too you know?

"Right, meet me there at 11 and then I'll tell you how to do my job."

Job huh?

I remember previously, she worked at Angel's Ladder exhaustively to gain enough money to cover her tuition fees without straining her parents. Thankfully though, I suggested an alternative as a solution. A scholarship which personally I took advantage of so my parents tuition fees would just go into my pocket.
I could be an evil mastermind if I wanted, I'd just need a white cat to stroke from my cushy chair.

"Right, I guess you can count on me."

Pissed off, she berates me.

"Guess is not good enough, I need to be absolutely certain."

"All right, all right! Yeah, I'll be absolutely certain."

Weirdly sweating, she walks out the room, not before leaving a final note to end on.

"You will be there right?"

Hah, if you're lucky...

"What was that?"

"Yeah yeah I'll be there."

Muttering to myself is a bad habit. They do say those who talk to themselves are mad men.

With our latest visitor now gone, I sign. Tired on the approach of my new task.

"So this is how other sisters are like?"

Yukino sat looking solemnly down.

Being siblings depended on what type of people they were. People are shaped by their experiences and environment, both form and shape different people who may belong in the same house. That was why Haruno and Yukino were so different and Saki and Keika shared traits.

I do think I remember Keika, I remember seeing her when I went to that junior school and how much of a fuss that day made.

No rest for the wicked I suppose...

Right, first chapter of the Kawasaki fic. There's a much bigger family focus on this due to one of her character traits. She's big on family so I figure it will be natural to play off on that. This story will be much simpler then the Isshiki one for certain though I do aim to entertain with Hiki and Saki's different views yet similar personalities. Hope you enjoy it all the same though!
