I found this in a long forgotten folder in my computer's hard drive. I wrote this a very long time ago...like years ago...

Since it's a fanfiction, and I believe that fanfictions should be shared to fanfiction websites like these, I'm uploading this fic for everyone to hopefully read and luckily, review. ^ v ^ I appreciate comments and suggestions, especially constructive ones. Enjoy!

Yamato Nadeshiko Shichi Henge or The Wallflower is not mine.


A loud roar echoed from the Nakahara mansion.

Kyohei ran back and forth, scratching his head in annoyance while Yuki sat crying on the side of the couch. Ranmaru rested his head on the elbow of the couch. Takenaga took a deep breath and sighed at the sight of the three.

A pile of books lay on the center table of the living room.

"THAT'S IT!" said Kyohei angrily. "I'm fed up with this nonsense! Why the hell do we have to do this anyway?"

"…Because you'll fail in class," said Takenaga.

Kyohei froze. He then gave out another loud roar of anger.

"I can't take this anymore…" cried Yuki. "…It's too thick!"

"Yuki, it's only half an inch thick," said Takenaga, examining the book in his hand that Yuki was supposed to read. He placed the book back on the table, across Yuki.

Yuki stared at the book.

Takenaga was right.

Yuki felt embarrassed. A moment later however, he frowned - his cute wet eyes blinking twice. "It's still thick!" and he sobbed once more.

Takenaga sighed heavily. "You guys really can't appreciate books, can you?"

"How the hell can you appreciate them?" said Kyohei as he opened the pages of the book he held. "They're just full of letters!"

"Hello honey!" said Ranmaru suddenly holding his mobile phone against his ear.

The three stared at him curiously.

"…I have this book report for school. But you see, I couldn't help but think of you and so I couldn't get myself to read a book for it. So I thought I call you instead."

The three stared dismally at Ranmaru. Takenaga espacially glared at him.

"…Yes, I know it's a requirement but honey, you're my life… You'll help me in my book report? Oh no, please, that wasn't my intention…"

"…As if there was anything else," muttered Kyohei.

"…Alright," Ranmaru said smiling. "…if you insist. So can you read this book for me? OUCH!" A book hit his face. He accidentally dropped the mobile phone on the floor.

"You worthless SLOTH!" Takenaga scolded.

"How dare you do that to me?" an enraged Ranmaru replied.

"This book report is your problem, not those kittens' of yours! Try to be responsible for once!"

"I am being responsible. I was asking her help to do it!"

"…By asking her to read the book for you?"

"…Why not..? She insisted…"

"Ugh! You are hopeless..."

"At least we're normal people."

"What?"

"I said 'at least we're normal people' – Yuki, Kyohei and me. Only bookworm people do those kinds of stuff."

"You mean read books."

"…Yeah…that kind of stuff…"

Yuki and Kyohei giggled while Takenaga flushed in anger.

"You know, thinking about it now, why don't you do our book reports since you're the once who can appreciate them so much?" Ranmaru said.

"Hey! Ranmaru's right!" said Kyohei. "You do it, Takenaga and we'll deal with Noi-chi!"

"WHAT!" exclaimed Takenaga. "…No way! And attending to Noi-chi is not the only thing I do!"

"Really..? I thought it was the only thing you did aside from reading books," Kyohei said.

Takenaga felt his cheeks burn. He then shook his head. "Can't you guys try to like reading books, just for this time? Your grades in class are at stake after all."

"Speaking of grades," said Kyohei. "Doesn't Sunako-chan get high grades in English?"

"Hey! You're right!" said Ranmaru. "But you'll be the one to ask her," he said smiling slyly at Kyohei.

"…Why me..?"

"You're closer to her than we are."

"What! No way! Besides, her room is too scary," he said, shaking his hips in fear.

"I don't think she'll be available either," Yuki said. "We all have the same teacher in this subject, don't we?"

"Oh… So she's probably dealing with her book report right now," said Ranmaru. "I wonder what kind of book she's reading."

Thought bubbles slowly popped out from their heads.

Takenaga's bubble had Edgar Allan Poe's face. Yuki's bubble had an image of a bloody vampire. Ranmaru's bubble had a bunch of marching skeletons. Kyohei's had the image of Jason slicing a victim with a bloody chainsaw.

The four shivered in fear and disgust.

Just then, Sunako went out from her bedroom. The four looked at her as she walked happily toward the kitchen. The four men looked puzzled at each other. Sunako took a cup of Haagen Dazs Green Tea Ice cream from the refrigerator.

"Oi!" said Kyohei. "Sunako-chan…"

Sunako looked at Kyohei.

"Are you doing a book report too?"

"Yes."

"What book are you making a report on?"

Sunako took out a yellow book from her behind her and showed it to Kyohei with an ecstatic smile on her face.

The four looked at it. "…Day of the Dead…" they read the title.

"What's it about?" asked Kyohei.

"…A day where people get inflicted with a disease that kills them and makes them flesh-eating zombies, eating every person they see."

"…As expected of Sunako-chan…" whispered Takenaga.

The three nodded.

"Have you finished it yet?" Kyohei asked.

Sunako shook her head. "I'm stuck in the part where the zombie eats a victim by sucking the blood from its veins and chewing on its body until only the white bones were left. I can't help but read it over and over again."

The four men turned pale, each shivering in disgust.

"Wait!" said Yuki. "Sunako-chan, does your book have pictures on it?"

"No, it doesn't," Kyohei said already browsing the pages of Sunako's book.

The three stared at him.

"So you can really appreciate reading books?" said Yuki.

"Not really but its okay," Sunako answered.

"Can you read our books for us then?" said Yuki sweetly.

"…What..!"

"I'll do the cooking!" said Yuki.

"I'll clean the house!" said Ranmaru.

"I'll…" Kyohei thought for a while. He then bowed his head and sighed. "I'll buy you Haagen Dazs."

Sunako bowed and thought about it for a while. "No more cooking – more time to be in my room… No more cleaning the house – more time in my bedroom… More Haagen Dazs – kyaa!" she told her self. "Wait! What books?"

"These books," said Yuki showing three books – two of them half-inch thick, and the one left, an inch thick.

"KYAAA! No! My book is two inches thick and I'm still not in the middle!"

"That is a problem," said Takenaga.

"Oi! Takenaga," said Kyohei. "Do you have other thinner books there?"

"Hmm… I think I do. Right! Now I remember," Takenaga said. "I just got them from Noi-chi, just in case you guys prefered to read something really thin."

"Why didn't you tell us about that earlier?" the three exclaimed.

"I forgot?"


Takenaga placed a pile of really thin books on the table. They were children's fairy tale books.

"Beauty and the Beast," read Ranmaru.

"Cinderella," read Kyohei.

"Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," read Yuki.

"Sleeping Beauty," read Sunako.

"These are children's fairy tales!" cried Ranmaru.

"Those are the thinnest books that I can give you," Takenaga said.

"In that case, that'll have to do," said Kyohei. "Can you read them, Sunako-chan?"
