A step, two steps, then three – the elder Kinoshita twin scowled with crossed arms as a third year approached them. Judging by the beetroot red face, and determined but hunch of his shoulders, there is no doubt the third year plans to confess to her brother.

Hideyoshi knows this as well. "O-onee-sama…"

The scowl continues to mar her attractive features, and Yuuko thinks that he should stop wearing that defenceless expression – for it only provides incentive for the idiots to confess.

Hideyoshi was gripping onto her arm.

Usually, she would give him a careless shrug and a cold smile, and turn a back to his…problem. Usually. Today, Yuuko simply closes her emerald eyes and heaved a slight sigh. She still presented her twin brother the careless shrug, removing her arm from his hold.

"Hurry it up." She tells him, tone uncaring and impatient.

A smile made its way to his face, and he nods his head. Eyes the same shade of emerald as hers gleams determinedly, and for all the intelligence she possess, Yuuko is unable to decipher what Hideyoshi is thinking.

"I…I'm a guy!" her twin loudly interrupts the senior, voice fervent with fierce determination to make the other understand.

What will that do for you? Yuuko wonders, and then shifts her eyes away from the scene. The lush, swaying greenery is more fascinating than her twin's futile attempts to correct others' misconceptions about his gender.

The outburst had caught the attention of bystanders. Pushes and shoves came her way as students started enveloping her twin brother. Shriek pierces her ears and the disgusting trash dared touch her. Yet, Yuuko refuses to stray from her current spot.

(She had promised to be a better sister.)

Murderous thoughts taint her head. If one more of you so much as touch me, you – all of you – are dead!

She heard Hideyoshi yell out as an idiot jostled onto her fragile rib –

"Nyah!" An uncharacteristic, vexed cry was emitted from her lips. "Enough!" Any twitter elicited from the frustrated, cat-like sound Yuuko had unconsciously made was silenced with her authoritative, irritated tone.

A glower mars her features. She had a hand tightly grasped onto her sibling's, and the other was rudely pointed at each and everyone of the worthless trash as she spoke.

"He's mine! You, you, and you – in fact, all of you! – don't you dare lay a finger, much less your eyes, on him!"

The glare she wears dared anyone to oppose her. With a huff, Yuuko dragged Hideyoshi out of the stunned circle of students.

"Hideyoshi…please die."

"Onee-sama! It's not my fault you went and said all…those."

"Nyah! It's your fault for making me…agitated…in the first place. That's why, you must die."

"O-onee-same! Calm down, please!"

A/N:

(i) Basically, Hideyoshi's attempt to right others' misconception of his gender ends up agitating his sister, Yuuko, so bad that she steps in and er...used some misleading, provocative (maybe) words. Well, I find it hard to make Yuuko deredere...so she's super tsun here (with the exception of the 'Nyah!' cry - which she does when agitated)

(ii) Wonder if I should make this a drabble multi-chap. Hmm. Reviews, please? Pocky, anyone? (Heh...maybe you need Himeji's superb cooking as incentive? - No, I'm not threatening you, really. Haha...?)
