Updates.... yey!!! *Threw confetti again*
Chapter 29-3
After a few minutes of walking, we finally arrived in my apartment, after a brief visit to Dance’s home to take Kanon’s belongings there. I opened the front door and let her in before me, while I was locking the door back. The room was still empty and dark, which means my girlfriend hasn’t come home yet. No wonder actually, Rappappa’s meetings tend to dragged until late at night, especially after now that almost all of us were on legal age. Yuko-san has tendencies to bring some booze with her for after the meeting. When she did though…, it was almost guaranteed that some of us would get wasted if Black or Sado-san weren’t able to control it.
At the same time, Kanon was trying to find the lamp switch on the wall near the door in the dim-lighted corridor. When she found it and turned it on, her eyes instantly flew to the shoes rack, made her stop in motion from took off her shoes. And I knew the wheels on her head has started running in questions, especially about the increase of the number of shoes and slippers, and she was most definitely knew some of it were not mine. I watched as her face shown up a display of emotions from confusion to shock to puzzled expression, and as if she was on a trance, she abruptly shook her head and proceeded to took off her shoes, wore the indoor slippers and moved away so that I could change my shoes to indoor slippers too, and went inside right after.
I saw her sat on one of the couches while looking around with a puzzling expression, sometimes eyeing the flower vase with a few pink roses on the kitchen table nearby, a pink frilly apron hanging from the hook near the fridge, the new fluffy-soft-lavender-colored carpet in the middle of the living room and matching couch-pillows, adding some colors to my usually bland-all-white-apartment. I put my bag on the coffee table in the middle of the living room, went to sit beside her and I answered her even before she ask me, “I’ve a… room-mate now.”
“Oh… that’s explains all the changes,” she absentmindedly said, “well, it has been almost a year since the last time I was here too…” She sighed and leaned back to the couch deeper while rubbed her eyes, “I’m tired~~.”
“Go take a bath and then sleep.”
“Hm… yes…, I’ll do that.” She mumbled her response. Then in a flash, she suddenly sat straighter and asked, “if you have a room-mate now…, where should I sleep? With you?”
‘Crap… I forgot about that. Here’s to hoping she won’t get suspicious.’ I said in my mind while struggling with my answer, then I hurriedly said, “Nah, it’s alright. You can sleep in the guest’s bedroom.”
“Are you and your room-mate sleeping together in YOUR bedroom?” she gasped scandalously. Damn! And I thought she’s a baka. “Based on the shoes and all the additional items here, I knew your room-mate is a she…. Which is pretty normal, but… sleeping… in the same room…?”
Sigh…, so much for hoping. I ran my hand through my hair and growled, “what about it?”
“In the same… bed…? Nee-chan…., are you… ‘leaning’ that way?” She asked with a whisper, after she saw me growled and narrowed my eyes at her, she pouted and whined, “And you threaten Kumi to not doing weird stuff to me when you’re living together with your girlfriend?! That’s unfair!”
“It’s NOT unfair,” I loudly exclaimed in exasperation, “and I AM NOT THREATENING HER!”
“But I know you would kill her if we have done ‘that’.” She mumbled without looking at me.
I rolled my eyes and countered her, “Yeah, well, you are still underage. I’m not.” She stuck out her tongue at me in a childish manner because I knew she had nothing in her mind to counter attack me. Seriously this girl was…. Yuko-san was right about her being a good kid and all, and considering her Dad’s an ass, she turned out to be a nice and a fun person to be with, but of course, that was until the day I left the penthouse I used to live together with her. But sometimes she really irritates me. Like, right now.
Before the sisterly fight erupted though, the front door opened and not long after my girlfriend walked inside. I heard Kanon gasped and mumbled out a “that’s the Onee-san from earlier today”, not a surprise that she would recognize her instantly, “she… she’s actually Tomo-nee’s girlfriend?”
My girlfriend also let out a surprised gasp, and asked, “Why is she here?”
“She whined and whined until I let her stay over for the night because she doesn’t want to go home yet.” I answered in exasperated manner. I took a good look at her and noticed her a bit red face and ears and stated, “You drunk.”
“I’m not.” She said while she was walking to sit at the single couch near me. “Just one shot. It’s not enough to make me drunk.”
“One shot?” I asked with an eyebrow raised, I knew I’m not in a position to question her on this particular matter, considering I had done even worst that get wasted by alcoholic drinks, but I couldn’t stop myself. “One shot of what to be exact?”
“… Tequila…? I think that’s what it’s called.” She said with her head tilted to the side with a puzzled expression on her face, made her looked absolutely adorable and made me wanted to peck her cheek, pat her head and hug her, but because Kanon-chan was there, I couldn’t. Yep, she’s drunk alright. She usually wouldn’t drop down her defense when there are others around, even when that person is Kokabuki. And right about now, her Ookabuki persona was truly shattered down. And when this kind of things happen, she was back being the cute, innocent and naïve (and stubborn, and sometimes can be irritating as hell) little girl that I befriended with when we were just a child. And… tequila was it? No wonder she’s drunk with just one shot.
“You’re still underage to drink.” I calmly said.
“Wait a second, she’s still underage too?” Kanon asked.
“Said the one who had done even worse than getting drunk when she was still underage.” Tomo retorted back at me, at the same time with Kanon, “And besides, I’ll be 18 in less than two months.”
At this Kanon was just looking at us back and forth until I sighed, “Non-chan, go take a bath now.” And she hurriedly headed to the bathroom without further questioning, then I shifted my gaze to my girlfriend and said, “And you… bedroom. Now.”
She stood up and stomped childishly all the way to the bedroom with me following behind her and locked the door after we were inside. “I’ve told you I’m not drunk.” She exclaimed when I was locking the door, “I just had one shot. You’re worry too much for your own good, and beside Onee-san walked me home till the front gate.”
Actually, I had decided to dropped it down and want to talk about another issues, but when I heard the ‘Onee-san’ parts, I instantly whipped my head to look at her who was sitting down on the bed, while yelled, “She WHAT!?”
“What?” She asked back with a cross expression on her face.
“She walked you home!?”
“You don’t have the audacity to be mad at me for spending more time with my Onee-san when you’re busy with other people as well!” She yelled back at me.
“Kanon-chan is my step-sister,” I hissed through gritted teeth, I knew I shouldn’t get angry with her, especially right now when her mind was slightly disoriented because of the tequila, but… well…, “and Dance is-”
“And who do you think she is!? She was my neighbor for years for God’s sake. She was there to hold me when you were suddenly gone,” she said in a lower volume, but still louder than her usual talking volume with her eyes slowly but surely became redder, “she was there for me when my family started to drifted apart. And where were you?!”
I gulped my guilty feeling since she was being ridiculous. “You do know, unlike now, I couldn’t decide things on my own. I was just a kid back then, what do you want me to do?! Ran away from home!?” I growled at her and when I saw her tearing up, I knew, it was the alcohol speaking. And I felt… like an idiot. I let out a sigh and a low growl at the same time, and went to sit beside her on the bed to hug her. Aaaaand… just before I could wrap my arms around her, she had punched my shoulder. HARD. “OUCH!!! Hey! That’s hurt.” I hissed while rubbing my must’ve-bruised-by-now-shoulder, “I should just call the Cops to report some domestic violence.”
“Don’t be a sissy.” She huffed and blew her cheeks, made her looked like a cute blowfish. Sigh… she’s really drunk if she acted like a (cute) kid like this, and not to mention, the horrid mood-swings she currently had.
“Weeelll~~, that’s hurt…,” I started to whine, “you hit me with your palm….” If she started to act all childish and immature (even when that was because she was drunk), I could do the same things as well, right?
“You’re asking for it,” she huffed while crossed her arms in front of her chest, “there’s no need to get jealous with my Onee-san.”
“What!? How could you say that?! She’s always provoking me with her eyes whenever I had eye-contact with her.” I growled while still rubbing my shoulder, “and those occasional skin-ships she did with you…. And… and… you don’t like it too whenever I was alone with Dance.”
“That’s different. Onee-san was only playing around because you are always too easy to get jealous. Dance is in love with you!”
“Was.”
“Huh?!”
“She was in love with me,” I flatly said, “why do you think Kanon-chan was with her earlier today?”
“H-huh?!” she asked, flabbergasted, “She and your step-sister are….”
“Hooked up.”
She blinked repeatedly as a respond and after a few seconds, she asked, “How’s that happening?”
“How in hell should I know?” I answered with a shrug, “But, when I still lived with ‘them’, Dance was already following me around. And with that, she was often met Kanon-chan too. And… Kanon-chan now is in the junior high school that Dance and I attended to back then, which means, they were in the same school for a year.” I sighed and glanced at her menacingly, “While you and Ohori on the other hand…”
She let out a sigh too and mumbled in sarcasm, “Why… you dumb-ass… I’ve told you she’s just fooling around.”
“What kind of fooling around is that!? All those hugs and fleeting touches…” I yelled in irritancies, “You even let her played with your hair earlier. I saw that! … and every person in the Stadium that looking at your direction at that time. And I bet they think you and her are….”
“That’s her way to show that she cares! She’s always like that.” She yelled back, “And besides, since when you cared for what others thinking.” I opened my mouth to retort back at her but she beats me to it. “And don’t you even see the ring on her right hand?!” She asked in exasperation.
“… What ring…?”
She sighed and cupped my cheek, “if only you’re not blinded with jealousy whenever she’s around, you would surely noticed.” And she tapped my nose with her index finger and mumbled, “She’s already married, you idiot. And she loves her husband very much. Why do you think she moved out from her parents place? We’re both an only child, that’s why we’re close. Can’t you be happy for me, for being able to get close to my Onee-san again?”
I looked away, and started to felt like a total idiot, though that didn’t mean I wasn’t mad anymore. I sighed a little and growled, “I would if she refrain herself from skin-shipping you whenever she had the chance.”
“… Baka-tsundere….” She mumbled, then she hugged me and pushed me, made both of us were laying on the bed with her on top of me. “I’ll try to talk to her to lay low with the skin-ship if you don’t like it so much. But don’t hope she’ll stop from doing so too much.”
“She better be…,” I growled while starting to caress her hair, “or I’ll chop her hands off when she touches you again….”
She slipped her hand inside my shirt, pinched my abs teasingly while muttered, “Baka…,” and snuggled me even closer and sniffed my neck, made me took a sharp intake of breath and my mind went blank for a couple of seconds when I felt her lips grazing my neck. “You are really a baka when you let your rage blinded you. But why do I love you so much.” She mumbled out.
“Wh-what’s the meeting is all about?” I asked after my mind went back on track again. “What about Shaku?”
“Hm…, well…, since you were outside the Stadium, I don’t know if you heard the massive roar of protests before we ended the event today or not, but… After Shaku and Sado-san went back inside, Sado-san immediately announced some changes.”
“What changes?”
“That tomorrow match will be a 2 on 2 instead of 3 on 3.”
“… That means….”
“Shaku withdraw from the tournament.”
“She said so herself?”
“Nah…, it was all Sado-san.”
“How did Shaku react though?”
“…” She didn’t give me any answer for a while, then she propped herself up with one hand supporting her just a few inches beside my head and with an incredulous expression said, “Surprisingly she’s just stood there with a goofy grin on her face the whole time.”
“Huh?!” I asked, surprised. Why? Because Shaku was all maji the last time I saw her. “She did?” After she answered with a nod, I blinked for a few times before I mumbled out, “I wonder what had happened between her and Sado-san that made her lost all her maji in just a small amount of time?”
“Who knows?” She answered in mirth while dropped her body back on top of me, “And I’m sure we will never hear the truth anyways.”
“Hmmm….,” I mumbled while I was breathing in the scent of her hair, “and? What else?”
“Well, Shaku was kept on with her goofy grin throughout the meeting, even when Yuko-san gave her a lecture of a lifetime, which of course made our Sachou even more pissed off until Torigoya-san distracted her and Sado-san told her to ‘get on with the meeting and just ignore that spoiled brat for a while’ because she’ll deal with her alone later on.” She said with a chuckle afterwards, “I don’t know whether to congratulate Shaku or pity her actually.”
“And?”
“And… we talked about the ‘security’ plan. And by the way, if something happen, you and Geki are assigned to protect Yuko-san. So stay close to her all the time, alright?” She said with a more sober tone.
“What about you?”
“Hm… we all know that they’ll pick me, Kokabuki, or Youran. Though according to Yuko-san, the chances for them to pick me and Kokabuki are pretty slim since everybody knows we fight the best when we’re together. And with the match being a tag team match….”
“Hmm… right… it’s more likely they’ll split you up and pick Youran as the other opponent.”
“Yeah…”
“I would like to tell you to be careful, but… I don’t think it’s appropriate.”
She giggled at my comment and softly kissed me. I could still taste the alcohol in her mouth when I pushed my tongue inside her mouth to deepen the kiss. She let out a soft moan when our tongues met and battled for dominance. After I heard that, my hands, that were previously on her back, moved downward to grope her firm behind and gave it a light squeeze, made her yelped a little and breaking the kiss. The look she gave me made me shivered. It was full of lust and passion. And the alcohol in her blood helped a little. I was about to pull her for another kiss when the knock on the door disturbed us.
“Tomo-nee, I’ve finished with the bath,” Kanon voice could be heard from behind the door, “I’ll be going to sleep now.”
After a few second of awkward silence, she snorted and hopped off from the bed while said, “right… gotta take a bath now. I don’t wanna sleep late tonight.” And there goes my hope she’ll be willing to do that. I sighed, actually disappointed about it. But, just before she opens the door, she turned to look at me and with a teasing smirk she sexily asked, “you coming?” and left the door opened afterwards.
After I heard that question, I blinked rapidly for a few times. And after the rebooting process in my mind finished, I ran, literally, towards the bathroom to join her bath-time. Thank God she was drunk, or else she would not be willing to do that tonight. And in the bathroom too…. Seriously, I don’t believe much in higher beings and all, but…, thank you, God.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As what the meeting’s result said, I immediately went to Yuko-san’s side ever since I saw her when I came to Majijo. I glanced over at my girlfriend who was standing at the side of one of the rings, talking with Kokabuki and Youran about some fighting strategies it seems because Center picked Kokabuki and Youran as their opponents. I desperately wanted to talk to her or just spent some time with her before the match started. Just to ask her to calm my nerves. I didn’t know why, but I felt anxious. Especially because, unlike usual morning after we started to live together, we didn’t have any ‘private time’ because Kanon-chan was there.
*Flashback, earlier this morning
When I walked out from my morning shower, the first thing I noticed was my girlfriend who was cooking our breakfast and Kanon-chan sat on one of the counter’s stools in the kitchen with an awkward feeling in the air. I raised one of my eyebrows in askance and asked, “so…. What the hell is going on?”
“Language.” My girlfriend reprimanded me.
“As I said before, I’m a yankee. You can't expect me to talk like some… highly-overly-polite-crap.” I growled while rolled my eyes in exasperation.
“If you do, I would be very surprised,” Kanon-chan quipped with a sly grin, “Ohayou, Onee-chan.”
“Smart ass kid… but you’re so dumb when it comes to school.” I muttered under my breath.
“Hm…, she’s right though, YOU…,” Tomo said while pointing at me with the spatula, “are not cut out for the overly polite things. Even when we were just a kid you already had your tough-independent-bad-ass vibe.”
“Yep… she did. She kinda scared me a little when the first time I met her.” Kanon quipped again.
I walked to the smart-ass step-sister of mine and knocked her head lightly while growled, “shut it. Or else I’ll accidentally talk to my Mom about you and Dance.”
Kanon’s eyes widen and then she pouted and whined, “Nooooo…. She’ll tell it to my Daddy…”
“Then shut it.”
“But…”
“Shut it.”
“It’s not an accident if you had already planned it out.”
“So? Want me to say it?”
“Oh, come on, Tomo-nee….”
“Then, shut it.”
“You two shut it.” My girlfriend cut our sisterly banter with a glare directed at me while she was serving some omurice in the dinner table. “Cut out your bantering. Breakfast’s ready.”
Kanon responded with a “yay!” and quickly sat in one of the chairs while I raised my eyebrows and while crossing my arms I growled, “What?! I was just-” suddenly my train of thoughts stopped when I saw the look she gave me. It was screaming lust and passion. Then she slowly walked towards me and touched my lips to shut me out.
She was leaning closer to me and whispered, “don’t get riled up easily. She’s still a kid while you’re not anymore,” while she was caressing my lips with her finger, then slowly moved down to my chin, my throat, then she poked my chest while huskily whispered, “I’ll treat you something good later tonight if you behave.”
“Oh…,” was my idiot response, couldn’t help it, really…, I’ve always lost my mind whenever she started to acted all sexy like that, “sure….”
“Wow… that’s works really good…. Maybe I should try that to Kumi whenever she disagrees with me…” I heard Kanon mumbled then my mind instantly went back to work.
I caught Tomo’s hand, then turned her and pushed her to sit on the other chair. Then I sat on the chair beside her while growled to Kanon, “Do that and I definitely tell my Mom about you and Dance.”
“That’s not fair! You’re also-”
“You’re still under-age.”
“But…”
“Yeah, well, unlike my Mom, your Dad won’t be okay with his daughter having a girlfriend. Should I tell her about you and Dance?” I said as a matter of fact, made Kanon shut her mouth and pouted, “and after all-”
“Wait…,” Tomo’s surprised gasp interrupted me, she was looking at me with eyes wide opened, “Your Mom knew about us?”
“Uh-huh…” I mumbled my answer while I was chewing a piece of chicken meat.
“And she’s okay with it?” She asked, unconvinced.
I shrugged and muttered, “more like she doesn’t care….”
“I hope Daddy could care less like that too.” Kanon-chan mumbled.
I snickered at that and teasingly said, “when hell freezes…”
“Yeah?” Kanon said challengingly, “wanna trade parents then?”
“No way.”
“I’m sick from being guarded all the time.”
“Yeah?” I said in the same tone of voice like what she had earlier, “say that to him then, not me.”
“Then I’ll be grounded…”
“Good then, might makes you less spoiled.”
“I’m not spoiled!” she growled.
“Now I see the similarities in the two of you…,” my girlfriend mumbled under her breath, while at the same time I was still on a bantering match with Kanon.
“You are.”
“Am not!”
“Are!”
“Not!”
“Are!”
"N-"
“Can we just eat in peace, please?” Tomo asked with a sigh and barely hidden annoyance, and then she muttered, “I feel like I have two kids.” Yikes, she’s sober now, which means her Ookabuki persona came back, and it’s seems like Kanon-chan also knew the reason why she was able to control me. And it’s not just her good looks. It’s the yankee’s side of her which can match mine. Though I’m still better in fighting. But the scary looks she gave us was… scary….
*Flashback end*
The rest of the morning was peaceful, at least as peaceful as you can get in a yankee’s home. Me and Kanon-chan tried to lay low with the bantering so that we wouldn’t irritates my girlfriend again and-
“Oy, what are you day-dreaming about?” I heard Yuko-san’s voice from beside me followed with a pain in my shoulder.
My hand automatically rubbed the sore-spot while hissing at the same time, “Dammit! That’s hurt.”
“Wha? I was just hit you lightly. Don’t tell me you’re going soft now.” Yuko-san said with one eyebrow raised.
“If you don’t hit me there, I won’t even feel it.” I growled, “You hit me in the same spot where I had been hit by To-Ookabuki last night.” I rubbed the spot some more, trying to ease the pain then I quickly added, “And she hit me with her palm in full force because she was drunk!”
Yuko-san smirked and teasingly said in a sing-song tone, “domestic violence was it?” She laughed and threw her arm around my shoulder to give me a side-hug when she saw me frowned at her and said, “Oh, come on, she only had one shot…. Wait, you didn’t get into a fight just because of that, right?”
“Nah…, it was… because of… various reasons.”
“Oh, good then. If it was because of that, I would feel a bit guilty since I was the one who’s shoved the tequila to her.”
“I knew it…,” I said with a sigh.
All of a sudden the stadium was filled with loud cheers and shouts, signaling the match was about to begin. Yuko-san and I shared a nod, agreed to watch the match first and continued our talk later, and not long after, then the match started.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
@Elo: wait for the shaku-sado sp then
@Shinoki:
Kanon has the ability to make Shibuya act like a kid
@BbSis: looks like Shibuya able to vent thanks to Yuko-san and the tequila
ah... the tomotomo fic. On tumblr was it? Too bad I couldn't understand any of it
erp.... actually... I... lost... the draft...
@kahem: it's cute, wasn't it?
@haruko: hisashiburi!
Nah, it's okay, shippers of course would prefer their OTPs
@tfme3638: tomo~rage it is
@cisda83: yeah, Shibuya is weak against cute girls
the down-side of being in Yuko-s care, she was getting influenced by Yuko.
In Shibuya's eyes, Dance is even closer to a sister than Kanon, so she can trust her step-sister to Dance.
@hikari_043083: well, I was influenced by Kata-fai
damn that kiss was hot....
when it comes to who has more power in Shibuya, there are Ookabuki, Yuko (whom Shibuya look-up to), Kanon, and the rest of Rappappa's gang.
I'd say the top 2 will be Ookabuki and Yuko, even though the power they have over her are in an entirely different matters
no matter how cute Kanon was, she is no match against Ookabuki's weapon (or *cough*
sex*cough*)
@KojiYuu44: yeah, Shibuya can trust her step-sister in Dance's hands
it was her own step-sister that she can't trust when it comes to that 'thing' as for the tournament.... *the author again evades action times and post-pone it into the next chapter*
@minami-chan: glad you like
@phkuro: hi
As usual, sorry for the long delay
And thanks for reading, comments and 'thank you's, guys. Till next chapter.
