“Hana! Follow me there’s an arcade that I wanna show you!” Yukina grabs onto Hanabi’s arm and drags her to Tom’s Games, “Arcade? What is that?” “Just follow me come on it’s really exciting and fun, trust me!” Thinking back a few days ago when a fight broke out between those two, haiz…has Yukina really gotten over it already? Before long we were at the arcade, “Hana! Hana! Look at that stuffed dog, isn’t it adorable?” “Yes…it is…”, Hanabi’s eyes were glued onto the puppy then she turns around and looks at Yukina, “Can I have it? Please Yuki-chan?” Yukina grabs onto my arm tugging it continuously, “Onii-chan, do it for her!” “Well it can’t be helped then, your wish is my command just sit back and enjoy!” “Hanabi secretly between you and I, my brother is really amazing at doing all these kind of useless things, haiz if only he could put his talents in the right place.” Why you…never mind that, “And here you go! That was easier than I thought it’d be.” I hand over the stuff puppy over to Hanabi, her eyes lit up as she embraced the stuffed puppy in her arms tightly. “Thank you so much Souta, thank you thank you! I will treasure it forever!” Yukina jumps onto my back seemingly celebrating my “victory” when suddenly, *grumble* *grumble*

Yukina clenched her faces with her hands over her stomach. “Onii-chan I think I ate too much taiyaki just now, my stomach ooo ooo. I think I’ll head back first, bring Hanabi around the shopping district, we don’t really have women clothing her size. Have fun!” Grumble… “Yukina do you need me to…” Just like that, she was gone, just how fast is she? Wait hold on so now it’s just the two of us, bring her shopping? Alright you can do this, theirs is not need to panic! “Souta, what clothes do girls normally wear?” What kind of a question is that… “I’m not quite sure, sorry.” Of course you’re not sure you idiot, you’re just a lazy, useless shut-in. “Oh, what about that, let’s go there come!” Hanabi points at a nearby Xara outlet. At that moment, Hanabi wraps her arms around my arm, holding on tightly, then I could see her cleavage perfectly from above as she pushes herself closer onto my arm, “Hanabi don’t hold onto me so tightly.” Her grip loosens instantly and she faces the direction opposite of me, damn did I piss her off? Is she mad at me? Why am I so stupid…

Before long we were in the store, “Does this look nice on me? What about this? This too!” “Why not try them all young lady?” A store employee walks up to us taking Hanabi to the fitting room. “Ah you must her boyfriend am I right? Well follow us too as I transform your beautiful girlfriend into a princess befitting of any prince.” I stared in complete awe at the employee and Hanabi, instantly frozen and left speechless, “Boy…b…boy..what?” From the corner of my eye, I caught a glimpse of Hanabi snickering. Was she laughing at my reaction or could she be happy…nevermind I’m not dumb enough to think she will actually be happy. “Hey knock it off, what’s so funny geez…”

“Alright, the first piece, this is a vintage british women’s clothing dating back all the way to the 1900s. The black leather gloves and the flat cap hat, oh my what a gorgeous combination!” “No…people will mistake her as an intellect which she clearly isn’t, next!”

“This is the latest women’s fashion trend, quite skin revealing however with her looks and that perfect body, pulling it off is an understatement…” “Next…”

“That would be 6500 yen thank you.” Soon we were on the way back home, “Souta I really like blouse and shorts, I feel so free and light and they look good on me, right?” “Yeah…I guess?” Honestly going out shopping with a girl isn’t my strong suit, heck anything to do with girls are out of my can-do list and isn’t she standing too close to me? But the closer I look at her, the harder it was to take my eyes off her, no no what is wrong with me. “Hey Souta, are you ok? You seem nervous? Is it because of me?” Shit you idiot now she thinks it’s her fault. “No of course not, if anything it’s probably because I never went out shopping with a girl before? Plus you are standing too close to me, I guess?”

“But you go out shopping with your sister right?” Hanabi seemed to have edged even closer towards me as I felt her arms wrapping around mine. “Well that’s cause she’s my sister…” “Souta, thank you for today. It was really fun for me, I have never gone out shopping before so this is a first for me. Really thank you for giving me a place to call home and making me feel like family.” Soon enough tears started to trickle down her cheeks as she tries to hide her tearing face with the stuffed puppy. At that moment, my heart started beating faster and faster, “Cute…” “Souta?” I quickly turn the other way, “Hey let’s quickly reach home before it gets dark.” Damn it Souta you idiot, control yourself don’t make yourself look stupid sheesh…

“We’re back!” Hanabi went back up to her room first while I unpack the clothes we bought today, “Onii-chan, hehe, was today fun for you two? Just a guy and a girl together out shopping, so how was it hehe.” “Cut it out, she thought it was fun that’s all, I’ll be showering don’t disturb me.” I headed upstairs back into my room to grab my change. “Geez…you’re no fun, no wonder you’re single hmph, ohhhhh the latest episode of Magical Girl…”

I sat down on my bed and removed my shirt, “What was I thinking just now, staring at her like that, my heart…what am I saying a guy like me could never ever fall in love with such a perfect looking girl.” I got back up with a fresh set of clothes and exited my room. “Souta? Errr…” Hanabi stares at my body seeming shy and nervous, but more importantly, “Hanabi…why are you…naked?” Hanabi continues to stare at me and starts to prod my body with her finger, “Hanabi…what are you doing…” “Souta…can you…shower with me?”

“So errr is the bathtub too small, I could always leave first you know.” Why the heck am I here again, I don’t recall ever agreeing to this, someone please save me. “Souta, stay, we are family, right?” Hanabi asks with her back facing me. “Hanabi, of course but still…” Hanabi gets up and I could feel her wrapping her arms around me, “Souta…in my world, families always bathe together and help each other wash up, we are family so…let me help you…” I could feel Hanabi rubbing my back with a cloth as her body slowly descend upon mine, before I knew it I could feel her breasts gently caressing my back. “Hanabi…” What should I do? Should I stop her before it’s too late or should I take advantage of…no I can’t do that…what kind of a man would take advantage in this situation…

“Hanabi, thanks for being so thoughtful but…” At that split second, the door behind us slid open and I could feel a strong, cold presence slowly approaching me from behind. “Onii-chan, what do you think you are doing huh? Taking advantage of Hanabi’s innocence? So you just can’t keep your manly desires for Hanabi to yourself…prepare to…” I instantly jump out of bath and perfect executed a forward roll towards the entrance of the bathroom, “No! No! You got this all wrong, Hanabi tell her please this was your idea not…” “ENOUGH!” Yukina leaps out towards me and a blade materialized in her hand again, the next thing I knew, I was knocked out cold again…

From a far distance…
