"Kuso!! Sore o jigoku ni zenbu okasu!!!" (F*ck! F*ck it all to hell!!!)

In the drunken state of the famed, crazed adviser, it had opted to shout profanities at a nearby trashcan.

The resounding crash of a bottle could be heard across the empty street.

Not only was his neck and head a mess after what those brats did, it also came to his attention that he wasn't allowed to lay even a finger on the Kiyamuras. The principal was not someone to be messed with and everybody knows it.

"Tch...." Like he'll listen.

He'll just have to be more discreet about it.... Now that he thought about it, attacking the Kiyamura twins head on may not be the greatest idea...

Besides, it wasn't them who did him wrong...

"I'll never forgive you Kiyamura, boku ga shindemo..." (even if I die...)

☆☆☆☆Meanwhile☆☆☆☆

"Tadaima!"(I'm home..) I called.

I had just finished removing my shoes when Gino-nii's head popped up from the living room. He was still wearing a suit so I doubt he's been home long before me.

"Okaeri Hana-chan!" (Welcome home Hana!) Gino nii-san greeted cheerfully, "Has my imouto (little sister) eaten yet?".

"Hai." I answered. "I'll be in my room." I said curtly.

"NEEEHHH CHOTTOMATTEEEE!!! (WAIT A MINUTE!!!) I need your help with something!"

Halfway through the stairs, I looked down at my brother, giving him a stoic look.

"Dou shimashita?(What's the problem?) I said in monotone. "Konkai wa nani o shimashita ka?" (What did you do this time?)

"Nothing I swear!! I just wanted to ask you to help me pick out a new gun~"

All of a sudden, Gino-nii's phone started ringing from his pocket startling  both of us in the process. Nii-chan tried to mask his surprise with a cough but failed miserably.

"Hehe sumimasen imouto-chan~Ani wa kono denwa o toranakereba naranai~"(Excuse me little sister~ Big brother has to take this call~) my brother said, excusing himself.

After giving him a simple nod from the staircase he slipped back unto the living room and vanished off sight. Pick out a new gun huh?

I started making my way towards my original destination.

My sanctuary, my room.

☆☆☆☆Meanwhile☆☆☆☆

"Dekirudake kanojo no ki o sorasu, sore o motte iru?" (Distract her for as long as you can, got it?

"Hai hai, baka janai yotsume no furīku!!" (Yeah yeah , I'm not stupid you four eyed freak!!)

Gino could almost feel an irk mark appear on his head as he imagined the four eyes staring smugly at the phone. Sometimes he just wanted to gouge his little brother's eyes with a takoyaki stick. But alas, blood is thicker than water...

"I'm surprised she hasn't found out yet since you're such an airhead..."

Akane pushed his glasses up with his pointer finger with a smug grin. It quickly vanished though when he saw the menacing aura exuding from Tanaka who was right beside him.

Akane's grin quickly dropped.

"URUSAI!!!" (SHUT UP!!!) Tanaka bellowed, seeming to have enough of the brotherly banter.

"Takusan no kodomo-tachi..."(A bunch of kids...) Tanaka said with a sigh, puffing out a smoke from the cigarette in his hand.

"Hai Tanaka-nii san." came  Gino's reply.

"Hai nii-san." came Akane's.

Hanoi could be seen typing busily into his phone. After a quick ding from the gadget, he shut it off and pocketed it.

He looked to his brothers and they nodded in silent understanding.

Sh*t is about to get down.

"Ikou."(Let's go.) Tanaka said, dumping his lit cigarette on the ground and stomping on it..

☆☆☆☆Meanwhile☆☆☆☆

"Watcha think Hana-chan? Should I get the Gloc 26 Gen.5 or the Sig Sauer P365?"

"Depends oni, of you're looking for durability, I'd say pick the gloc." I answered.

Gino seems to think about it, but after a while he started walking once again towards another display of handguns dismissing my words with a wave of his hand.

"Let's go Hana-chan! I don't think I like any of those!" nii-san whined childishly.

My face twitched.

He didn't even seem to consider my word for it! Why was I even here then!?!

"Hai onii-san." I answered begrudgingly.

After hours and hours of my brother just whining about guns, he FINALLY settled on a gun that he apparently liked  the first time he saw it.

Surprise surprise, it was the Gloc I told him to get the first time.

Times like these make me feel like God is testing me.

"Maido arigatou gozaimasu Gino-sama!" (Thank you for shopping with us Mr.Gino!) said the lady behind the counter to which my brother smiled and waved goodbye to.

Once we made it home, my brother thanked me and left saying he had some business to fix.

"Thanks for the help Hana-chan~ Big brother has to do some grown up stuff now, buh bye!" nii-san said hurriedly.

"Nii-chan."

Grabbing a knife from the holster on my leg, I threw it directly at my brother.

Gino nii-san's eyes visibly bulged before he evaded the last second. My knife clattered with a dull clunk on our tiled floor.

"Heh~ Kyō no bebīkumade wanai~" (Heh~ Not this time babybear~) he said with a glint in his eye.

He winked and left with a chuckle.

Not before I noticed a thin red line across my brother's  cheek.

Up until now, I haven't been able to even graze any of my brothers' body, let alone their face.

That was weird even for my brother, and that's saying something.

He's either distracted or hiding something.

  ☆☆☆☆Meanwhile☆☆☆☆  

It was only minutes after when three siblings arrived upon the Kiyamura household. Gino bowed at the oldest Kiyamura sibling by the entrance and greeted everybody except his annoying four-eyed brother. Akane just grinned and didn't seem to mind. 

"Kanojo wa dōdesu ka?" (How is she?) Tanaka was the first to speak.

"Muchi. Shinpaishinaidekudasai." (Clueless. Don't worry.) Gino answered.

"Oh older brother, you seem to be underestimating our dearest imouto-chan~" Akane chuckled. Upon removing his shoes, he proceeded to pass his siblings and went straight to the kitchen, waving back to everybody nonchalantly.

"Sumimasen, watashi wa yoi ōda no nochi ni shokuji ga hitsuyōdesu~" (Excuse me, I need a full meal after a good beating~) Akane said before turning a corner and vanishing off sight.

"And yeah, fix your face Gino-nii. Like it isn't already f*cked up enough, you have a lovely gash across it~" Akane called from the kitchen, a resounding chuckle echoing after.

Gino lifted his fingers and lightly touched his face. He winced. When he saw his fingers painted in red, he realized the four eyed freak was right.

His little sister did manage to cut him.

"Kuso..." (Sh*t...) Gino cursed.

  ☆☆☆☆The Next Day☆☆☆☆    

"Ittekimasu!" (I'm leaving!) I called on the door. Hanoi was already sitting on the family car busily typing into his phone, waiting for me.

"Itterasshai Hana-chan!" (Have a good time Hana-chan!) Gino nii-san called from the corner. Tanaka-nii just nodded and smiled at me, waving goodbye.

Once inside the car, I sat with Hanoi in silence on our way to school. 

Halfway through the car ride, I turned to Hanoi who had his nose buried in his phone.

"Neh Hanoi, where were you after school?" I asked.

Hanoi's typing stopped abruptly as he turned to face me.

"Boku wa genteiban o katta Yaki Mani nuigurumi." (I bought a limited edition Yaki Mani stuffed toy.) He answered in a straight face. After seeing my dumbfounded face, he turned back to his phone and resumed typing.

I kept quiet after that.

I didn't know my brother was such an otaku...

When  we arrived in class, the chatting completely stopped but Hanoi completely ignored it and sat comfortably in his sit upfront. I just sat stoically on my chair beside his. 

After a while, the chatting resumed and whispers could be heard left and right. Normally, idle chatter and gossip don't interest me, however, my ears perked up when I heard a particular news.

"Have you heard what happened to the hot headed king?"

"You mean Max!?"

"Yeah! I heard he got beaten up last night by the neighboring school!" 

"No way!! No one has ever beaten Max! They must be strong if they managed to beat him..."

I gritted my teeth.

Help pick out a gun my *ss. 

"Good morning class!" greeted the infamous adviser. "How's everybody doing today?"

When silence greeted the overly-cheerful adviser, his facade slipped as he dropped his filing case on the teacher's table.

"Neh Kiyamura, boku wa gakkō no shikichi-nai de anata ni fureru koto wa dekimasen." (Hey Kiyamura, Apparently I can't touch you within school grounds.)

"So might as well be civil right?" Mr. Yamamoto said with a beaming smile.

Hanoi could be seen mumbling something along the lines of "that makes one of us."

"Okay, turn your textbooks to page 35, class will be starting." the teacher said, as he turned to the board. After getting a pen from his filing case, he proceeded to write quite neatly as class went on normally.

A series of aw's and no's could be heard in the class.

   ☆☆☆☆Meanwhile☆☆☆☆      

"Who could have done this to Chains!?!" the violet-head shouted in exasperation. After hours of trying to determine who had beaten up the second king, they came up empty.

Not only was it out of the blue, but they don't even know where to start considering everyone held grudges against the hot-headed ape.

"Calm down Yuri,"  Ryo said without emotion from where he sat in the couch. He was reading a book quietly, a pair of glasses perched up on his nose as Yuri continued to pace relentlessly across the room.

"Shouting will get us no where." Ryo said.

Yuri's hand visibly tightened as he resisted to shout at their so called leader.

"You don't seem to care much about what happens to any of us do you?" he said between gritted teeth.

Ryo could be seen staring intently at the book he was holding, however Yuri noticed that Ryo's eyes weren't even moving to indicate him reading. 

When Ryo dropped his book on the couch, Yuri's eyes followed his movement as he stood right in front of him. Ryo fisted Yuri's front shirt in an iron grip and effortlessly lifted his small frame above the ground.

"Don't test me Yuri..." Ryo said menacingly. His eyes spoke volume and Yuri visibly gulped in understanding.

"You know too well I don't let anything happen to my pawns." Ryo said with finality and promise.

"We will find who did this, and they will  pay for this." 

Ryo dropped Yuri's body with a thump on the ground. Yuri stared silently as their leader turned and left without another word. 

The resounding blag  of the door closing the only sound occupying the hospital room where Chains had been admitted.
