Chương 11: Please Don't Fight Over Me!_Finale

"I'm home."

When Masachika stepped inside his apartment, he noticed a pair of shoes lined up on the floor and raised an eyebrow. He and his father were the only ones who lived here, and his father was currently abroad for business as a diplomat. And yet there was a pair of shoes set neatly that wasn't his nor his father's.The hell? I thought she said she was going home.

Masachika headed straight to the living room with a crease still in his brow,opened the door to said living room, and found Yuki there. She was dressed in a long-sleeved shirt and sweatpants, with her hair sloppily tied up in a ponytail,while sitting in a chair and watching anime on TV like she owned the place.

"Oh, hey. Did you get Alya home safely?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Huh? I'm staying here tonight."

"I didn't hear anything about you staying here tonight."

"Because I didn't tell you," Yuki stated calmly while still facing the TV.Both her appearance and behavior bore absolutely no similarities to the perfect young gentlewoman everyone knew and loved at school. It was such a dramatic change that people who had never seen her like this before would believe it was merely someone who resembled Yuki.

The anime came to an end, and a commercial began to play. It was for a dark-fantasy comic getting a live-action movie.

"I'm seeing this tomorrow," Yuki suddenly revealed, pointing at the screen."Cool."

"And you're comin' with me."

"First I'm hearing about this."

"Because I'm tellin' ya now for the frst time."

Masachika glanced at the commercial while Yuki sighed, showing no signs of guilt.

"I thought you hated live-action adaptions like this."

"Stop! I don't want to hear it!" Yuki suddenly shouted, thrusting her palm forward as if to keep Masachika from making any more casual remarks. She then hastily sputtered, "I know, I know. Once they announced the cast,I figured there was a ninety percent chance it was going to suck! And to tell the truth, the commercials aren't doing it any favors, either! But I think it's wrong to just put it down without giving it a fair chance first. It might actually not be a train wreck. It could even turn out to be a hidden gem! I know. I get it. The only reason they keep producing these trash live-action adaptions is because people like me keep spending money to go see them. I know it's my fault!"

"Okay,okay,okay. Let's calm down and take a deep breath. I feel like you're about to tell me you know a dark secret you weren't supposed to know."

"Because I do! I know that we're not related by blood, Masachika! We may be brother and sister, but... Ahem! What are you trying to make me say?! We're definitely blood related."

"I like how you emphasized 'definitely.'"

"I mean, it does happen sometimes. You think you're siblings,but you're actually cousins. I guess that doesn't really count, since cousins are still blood related,but you get my point."

"Yeah, and being cousins is okay because you're not actually siblings."

"You're clueless." "What are you talking about?"

"Ugh! Actually, being siblings is what makes it good!" Yuki insisted passionately with her eyes opened wide.

"Makes what good?!"

Yuki Suou. While she played Masachika's childhood friend at school,she was actually a fellow nerd and friend...as well as his biological sister, who went to live with their mother when their parents got divorced.
