. Kirino slumped down to the couch as she watch a new episode of Meruru. She did not enjoy it as much anymore. She frowned and turned the T.V off. She sat there for a while until someone came in through the door. She looked back and saw a sweaty Kyousuke. "Oi, where have you been?"asked Kirino in a unhappy voice. Kyousuke frowned and ignored her and grabbed some barley tea.

"Tsk, running" replied Kyousuke. He poured himself a glass of the liquid and proceeds to drink it all in a gulp. Kirino clicked her tongue and started for the stairs. She glanced one last time to her brother and went upstairs. Kyousuke stood there faced down and looked at his sweaty green shirt. He recently started doing track again and was surprised that he was superior to other trainees at school and recently started practicing by himself. He grinned and slurped the last bit of liquid down. He and Kirino did not talk much as they used to anymore. He was aware that they were drifting apart and needed to act soon. He splashed his cup onto the sink and decided that he did not feel like washing it. He proceeds to his room when he was stopped on top of the stair. Kirino looked down to her brother with angry eyes. Kyousuke did not have time for this and simply requested to "move". She humphed and asked a question.

"Why were you running?" Glared Kirino.

"Is it a problem?" Replied Kyousuke who was growing impatient.

"Are you doing track again?" Asked Kirino in a suspicious voice. She crossed her arms and tap her feat waiting for a response.

"Yea. And I am quite good at it" replied Kyousuke smirking. This got Kirino mad.

"Ha!, like you are good? You can't be better than me!" "Beside I have far more training then you" laughed Kirino.

To this Kyousuke smirked and a plan formed in his head. "Yeah? Want to race then?" To this Kirino smirked and pointed her finger at him.

"Ha! Fine tomorrow after school at my school. OK?." Said Kirino still pointing at him. Kyousuke grinned.

"Alright, but why your school?" Asked Kyousuke.

"It's where I left my running shoes so zip it." Replied Kirino and stomped up to her room. Kyousuke sigh and started to get up to his room.

The day went past and the race lingers in his mind. He reminded himself that this was his sister that he was competing. The all good and no flaws sister. The one everyone praises and loves. He sighs and got ready to leave school.

Kirino called her parents and told them that she was going to be late and that she was racing Kyousuke. To this her father laughed and even made a bet to her mother that Kirino is going to win. He was sure of it and hang up. Kirino made it to the yard in time and Kyousuke was early. He brushed his sweatshirt and got his shorts adjusted. There was a coach standing in the stands and was accompanied by Kanako and Ayase. Ayase laughed when she heard that they were racing and told Kanako that Kirino is going to win, to this Kanako laughed and told Ayase that Kyousuke is going to beat her. To this they made a big fuss in the cafeteria.

Kirino and Kyousuke went next to each other and grinned.

"You sure that you want to race me?" "The Kirino-Kousaka?" Said Kirino smirking. "You can quit anytime you know". The coach laughed and slapped Kyousuke on the back and told him to "break a leg (A term to do well)".

"We will see." Was all Kyousuke said. He knew he could not win against her but still he wanted to win. He was sure he was going to loose but he is going to prove himself wrong. He can't win. He said to himself.

They got ready and lined up at the track. The coach fired the start gun and they dashed. Kirino gaining the lead while Kyousuke followed from behind. Kirino gained the lead until a unbelievable thing happened. Kyousuke dashed forward gaining the lead. They finished half of the race and if Kyousuke can maintaine the lead he would win. He did. He dashed forward on the last track in fear of Kirino thrusting for the final time. The coach's jaw dropped as Kyousuke pumped his fist into the air and pants. Kirino's mouth hang open looked at her brother. She was sweating and exhausted. Apparently the race only lasted 6 seconds. Kyousuke laughs and gain a sense of pride. He had beaten her.

"H-how.." stumbled Kirino amazed. Kyousuke laughed and puts his hand on top of her head.

"You can't beat the master." Replied Kyousuke. "Are you Mad that I won?" Grinned Kyousuke.

"No" replied Kirino with a smile. She kicked his ankle and started to grab her things. Ignoring her friends and her coach as she left. Kyousuke laughed and sat down with the two girls.

Their mouth wide open as Kyousuke drank a bottle of water. Kanako laughed as she broke the silence. Ayase started asking questions and Kanako bragging that she knew he would win. He sighs and proceeds to go home ignoring everyone.

Once he arrived home he took off his shirt and changed. He went downstairs for dinner and was surprised to see his family waiting for him. Uncomfortable silence hang in the air as Kyousuke ate. "So who won?" Asked Kyousuke's father. Kyousuke smiled and proudly said:

"I did" to this Yoshino(Kyousuke/Kirino's mother) mouth dropped.

"WHAT!?" Asked both their parents. Kirino nods and smiled as she slapped Kyousuke in the back.

"Good job, idiot" she said smiling. He grinned and went back to eating. And it begins that day after day. He being trained by Kirino everyday and him training her. He was beginning to enjoy the time until she Halloween.
