"Onii-saaaaaann~"

"Whoa-!" Shin jolted forward once his back received a familiar weight, Yuki dangled her feet back and forth while giggling softly.

"Gotcha!" Yuki squeaks.

Shin grumbled under his breath, "Yuki, don't just jump on my back like that. What if I wasn't ready?"

Yuki grabs both Shin's ears, pulling it playfully. "Fufu.. but you WERE ready, right? Lucky me, I have a big brother that won't let his little sister fall no matter what~"

"Who on earth said that?" Shin hid his small smile, supporting Yuki by placing his hands behind her knees. Piggy-back ride, Yuki's all time favourite. Ever since she was just 2, until she grew to be a 16 years old teenage girl.

"You did!" A strong smack hit Shin on the back of his head, which he reluctantly accepts it nonchalantly.

"I didn't," Shin shots back, side-glanced at a new figure that was approaching them from behind.

"Onii-san!" Yuki threw her head back, grunting like a child.

"You didn't tell me you were with Ozaki," Shin gave Yuki a quick look before focusing on the path back.

"What-" Yuki turned around at last.

"Ohayoo~" Ai lands a pat on Yuki's leg. "Ai Ozaki at your service!" She did a dramatic bow infront of those siblings.

"Fuu! Ai-chan, you're not supposed to be here yet." Yuki mumbled quietly but Ai could simply hear her.

Ai smirks, "What? Are you the owner of this village, now? Come on, Nobu-chan.. you know the deal~"

That sure did perk Shin's interest up, "What deal?"

"No- nothing, Onii-san! Keep walking, faster, ignore this silly girl- she's talking nonsense!" Yuki shakes Shin's broad shoulders, urging him to walk even more faster but to no avail.

"Well.. I can tell you if you want, Shin-kun." Ai notices Shin's soft gaze at her so she turned away with crimson cheeks.

"Hey, stay away from my big brother, you- shorty!" Yuki points at Ai, almost losing the balance.

"Hush, Yoshiyuki Nobuyuki." Shin glared up to his shoulder, enough for Yuki to understand that glare is meant for her. "Hmph," her cheeks puffed up, protesting.
