Imouto (Brothers Conflict Fanfiction - Slow Update)

Episode 26

Time flew by very quickly. It's currently the first week of June, leaving less than a month before Keiko's and Yuusukes's final exams before summer break starts.

Hikaru had invited Keiko to his room to have a 'girls' talk. Wanting to take a break from studying, she agreed.

She knocked a few times before hearing Hikaru inviting her to come in.

"Sorry for bothering." She said as she entered his room. "Your room is very neat, Hikaru-san."

Hikaru chuckled. "Well, I don't have any deadlines to catch up. Hence, the clean room." He invited her to sit down while he grabbed some snacks and orange juice.

"Seems like today you're not cross-dressing huh?"

He shook his head. "Today, I want you to see me as a man, not as a woman."

She raised one of her eyebrows. "Ooooookay? I thought we're going to have a 'girls' talk."

"We are. In an interview kind of way."

"Ah! You're getting materials for your novel, aren't you?"

He smiled while nodding his head. "And this is why I like you. You're smart, not dumb like our brothers."

"Eeeeeh hidoi, Hikaru-san." She giggled.

"Let's begin the interview, shall we?" Seeing Keiko nodding her head, he began asking questions. "Do you love your family?"

"Of course I do."

"Then, which one of us is your type?"

She furrowed her eyebrows. "... what do you mean by that?"

"Imouto-san, living with us must've opened your eyes. We're men with different personalities, I'm sure one of us is your type."

'Someone close in personality with Daiki-kun... None!' She shook his head while frowning. "Besides, we're step-siblings. I'll never ever look at our siblings in that way."

"Hontoni?" Hikaru asked with a sly smile.

"Hai."

"Hmmm then, which group do you find it easier to talk to? Students or workers?"

"Of course, students. We're around the same age-range, so there's lots of common things to talk about."

"Eeeeeeh, so you dislike old people? Guess that's why you prefer Subaru over Tsubaki, huh?"

"Haaah??! Why would you say something like that?" She was starting to get annoyed with Hikaru. How could he come to that conclusion... no. Why did he mention Subaru and Tsubaki? "What does Subaru and Tsubaki have to do with this?"

"They both like you."

"How did you know? I never told you about this..."

He waved his pointing finger in the air. "It's a secret as to where I get my sources. Imouto-san, your life's very interesting. It can be turned into a plot for a story, you know? Forbidden love among step siblings." He rested his head on his hands. "So, Subaru's your type huh?"

"Hikaru-san!" She raised her voice. "I don't and I will never see him in that way!"

"Eh, so it's Yuusuke or Iori then? But I heard you reject them both."

"Yes, I did." She crossed her arms, brows furrowed. "You knew about this."

"Yes, I knew about this." Hikaru smiled, his eyes closing making him look like a fox.

"Then, why didn't you say or do something?"

"I want to see how you, a stepsister, react to her stepbrothers having forbidden feelings for her." He grabbed her chin, bringing it as close as he could. "It's entertaining to see how you react to certain situations, it makes me feel attracted to you."
