Chapter 5.

I heard the sound of Tomoko's alarm from the room next to mine, the walls thin enough to-

Wait… the walls were thin enough to hear an alarm through, so that would mean…

Oh no.

Shit, did mom hear everything? It wasn't like the two of us were being all that quiet after all.

Quickly sitting up in my bed, I saw my sister wrapped around in one of the blankets, completely snug inside of it like a little sexy sushi roll.

She was snoring softly in her sleep, a content look on her face.

"Tomoko," I whispered, causing her to smile a little in her sleep, as I gently shook her, "Tomoko wake up"

"Hrm? Nooo. I don't wanna wake up, go away stupid sexy dream nii-chan" She grumbled sleepily, as she tried to turn away from me. But due to the fact that she was completely wrapped in a blanket, she was barely able to move.

"Tomoko, please… wake up" I said a bit more firmly, as she tiredly opened her eyes before looking at me with confusion.

"Ah?… Ah!?" She exclaimed, as she wriggled around in her blanket, completely shocked, "We- did we- oh we did! Yes! That wasn't a dream!"

I watched as my sister wiggled around joyously, apparently having believed that last night was some sort of dream.

…Knowing my degenerate little sister, I could definitely see her having those sorts of dreams about me.

"Tomoko, I think mom heard us," I told her, causing her to come to an abrupt stop, her face paling dramatically and her eyes widening.

"I- oh… oh crap" She muttered, mouth agape in fear.

"Yeah, that's about what I was thinking too," I said with a small sigh.

"What should we- what should we do?" Tomoko asked, looking at me pitifully, "I- I don't want them to try to separate us… not after this beautiful night we shared"

I took a few moments to think about just what we were going to do… but eventually, I figured that it'd be easier to just do nothing.

"We're going to act like nothing happened," I said, causing her to nod slightly.

"Right, if they don't know… then we might as well not let on anything just in case," Tomoko said, causing me to give her a small grin.

"Exactly, now if anything does happen? Let me do all the talking, okay?" I asked, and she gave me a similar small grin in return.

"Great, now let's go get ready for the day," I told her, as I got up… only to hear the sound of my sister struggling behind me.

Turning around, I saw that she was completely stuck in her blanket wrapping, trying to wriggle and worm her way out.

"Nii-chan! Help me…" She asked, as she looked at me with teary eyes.

So with a small laugh at her pitiful appearance, I quickly helped get her out of her predicament.

"Are you alright now, my little sexy sushi roll?" I asked with a smirk, causing her to give me a small pout, before she stretched her limbs, causing her body to creak and pop in different ways as she let out a groan of relief.

"Yes, yes I am now… and please don't call me that. That's so- so embarrassing" Tomoko said with a small blush, though she didn't seem like she hated the nickname.

"Okay then, only when we're alone," I told her, before I started the process of unlocking the door.

Five minutes later, I was able to finally open the door, and… my sister quickly cut past me and ran into the bathroom.

"Traitor!" I exclaimed, as I tried to run after her, but it was to no avail, as she stole the first shower out from under me.

Heh, and here I was… thinking that she'd try to join in on my own showering session. She probably didn't think of that, because if she did? Tomoko would have definitely tried it.

So I just returned to my room, as I waited for my sister to get out of the shower.

I ended up waiting for around half an hour, during which I heard yet another tearing sound.

Which just made me kind of annoyed. What's the point of getting new magical knowledge… if I don't get the damn knowledge?

Was there some sort of prerequisite that I just wasn't meeting or something like that?

But my thoughts were quickly taken away from that when I heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

Opening my own door, I was met with the tantalising sight of Tomoko wearing just a yellow towel, water dripping down her body.

"Ah, hey there onii-chan, the um shower's free," She said with a small shy smile, as she quickly walked away.

Though I couldn't help but notice the way she was shaking her hips, emphasizing her ass quite a bit.

I didn't have time to focus on that though, as I quickly got into the shower, and washed all the sweat, sex, and grime off of my body.

"Ahhh" I sighed in relief, as I stood under the rain of hot water.

This was just great, I really needed this to help me wake up just that little bit more.

Around twenty minutes later, I was done and went to grab a towel only to realise… there weren't any left.

Damn it, Tomoko! At least warn a guy when you take the last towel!

So I ended up having to walk out of the bathroom and into the laundry, which was thankfully just down the hall, to grab myself a fresh towel.

Drying myself off, I then put on my school uniform, and went downstairs where I saw that Tomoko was already sitting down and eating breakfast.

Mom was there too, but I couldn't see dad. Was he already at work or something?

Looking at Tomoko and the way she was blushing, I could tell that she was pretty embarrassed over something…

And I instantly couldn't help but feel a bit the same, when I saw what mom had made for breakfast.

Okayodon… either she was not at all subtly making a joke at both of our expenses, or she was completely oblivious.

"Good morning mom" I said with a smile, as I sat next to Tomoko, whose face couldn't get redder, and she was… panting a bit?

Ah, right. She was an absolute degenerate, how could I have forgotten?

"Ah, morning Ryuuji-kun! How did you and Tomoko-chan sleep?" She asked, causing my sister to nearly spit out her breakfast.

"I had a pretty good sleep, don't know about Tomoko, though. Tomoko, how did you sleep?" I asked, looking over to my sister, and giving her a small look.

"…Fine," She mumbled after a moment, before filling her mouth with some chicken and rice.

Ah, a good strategy. Keeping her mouth full so she had a reason to not elaborate on her answers.

I applied that exact same strategy just a couple of years ago, and it served me well.

So I gave my sister a smile, one that she shared… though it was noticeably a lot smaller.

"Ara~ How lovely! Now, you two should eat a bit more quickly. School's going to be starting in a couple of hours!" Mom said with a little grin, as she finished her own breakfast.

Then she quickly left, causing both of us to let out a sigh of relief, as we finished our breakfasts.

"She doesn't know, does she?" Tomoko quietly asked me, as I gave her a shrug.

"I don't think so, but we can't be too sure…" I told her, causing her to nod at my words.

"Don't worry about lunch, Tomoko. I'll make you another bento box" I said with a small smile, which widened when I saw her 'subtly' pump her fist.

So with that in mind, I quickly went into the kitchen and picked out an array of ingredients, and… four bento boxes.

After all, I wanted to make a bento box for my new friend, Shitori-san… and Koneko probably wouldn't steal Tomoko's if she had one for herself.

Putting some rice in the rice cooker, I left that on its own while I got to cooking up some chicken along with making some tamagoyaki.

It only took around thirty minutes for the chicken to be cooked all the way through, and during that time I'd finished grilling the tamagoyaki, rolling it in several thin layers and placing them in the box alongside the chicken.

After that, I grabbed several fruits and some mixed salads and put them inside as well.

The rice had finished cooking by now, so I placed that in last, adding some slight spices to it as well, before looking at my final product.

"Yeah that looks pretty good," I said to myself with a small smile, as I slid the lids on the boxes, and placed three of them into my bag.

Then I grabbed the last one and put it into Tomoko's bag, making sure it was actually her bag.

"Alright Tomoko, your bento's in your bag. Don't grab the wrong one this time!" I said with a teasing grin.

"You're the one who grabbed the wrong one, Ryuu-nii!" Tomoko exclaimed from her bedroom, and I heard the sound of her door closing.

I went to respond to that, but was distracted when I heard yet another tearing sound. That thing's going to drive me insane at this rate.

Then I watched as she walked down the stairs, wearing her school uniform. She looked honestly breathtaking in it, the short skirt emphasizing her legs and just barely hiding her ass.

"How- how do I look?" She asked shyly, as she twirled around a little bit.

"Absolutely breathtaking," I told her, before looking around… upon seeing neither of our parents, I got closer to her and pressed my lips on her own.

It only lasted a short moment before I broke it, but from the blush on her face, I knew that she enjoyed it quite a bit.

With that though, I looked at the clock and saw that we only had half an hour left until school started.

"We should probably get going," I said, gesturing to the clock, "I don't think Shitori-san would appreciate us being late again, and we might as well get there early"

My sister's eyes were in a slight haze from the kiss, but they widened after registering my words, and she practically jumped to action, grabbing her bag.

"Right! Yes, you're right! Go, we should" Tomoko said before almost instantly walking into a doorframe, "Agh!"

Chuckling a little bit, I helped her out of the house, and set off for Kuoh Academy.

But while we were walking down one of the streets to get to the school, I felt something… strange over to the side.

It was like there was some sort of overbearing presence just barely out of my sight, making it hard to breathe properly.

Trying to subtly look at where that strange feeling came from, I locked eyes with the hulking form of a Western priest, he was blond and covered in scars with a pair of glasses on, while wearing a priest's cloth.

And the grin that he gave me sent shivers down my spine, and I couldn't help but charge up a small Zap in the palm of my hand. This man felt dangerous.

"Go on ahead, Tomoko" I said after a moment, causing my sister to look at me curiously.

"Do you have another headache? We can head on home if you need to" Tomoko said with an expression of concern.

"I-… no, no that's fine. Just go on ahead, I'll catch up in a bit" I told her, and thankfully she nodded before continuing on.

I waited until she was well out of sight, before getting ready for what I assumed would be a fight. Or something along those lines.

Looking back to where the strange priest was, I couldn't see anybody anymore.

"Where did he…" I muttered to myself, as I tried to figure out where he went. He couldn't have walked away while I wasn't looking right?

Then I felt something cold and hard being pressed against my neck.

"'Ello there lad, just what do you think you're doin'?" The priest asked, causing me to look down and see a pair of blades pressed up to my throat.
