Chapter 1: Fated Encountere; P2- "Departure"

Few days later packing our things were almost done.

Mixed emotions went through my mind making me harder to decide.

Little by little, I can see my life twisting its own fate regardless of what I really wanted.

Leaving without knowing the reason is what makes the situation more complicated for me— it's just can't be helped.

"Big Brother, already finished packing your things? We're going to leave you if you're lazying like that. Gosh!"

Crossed her arms, she yelled as she entered the room.

By the way, that's Hannah my little sister and she's two years younger than me.

Beautiful and smart, ''School idol'' that's what she's being called.

With her long black hair, white skin, and doll-like face, there's no way that anyone would never adore her.

We get along so well and unlike any siblings, were a bit different.

How are we different? Well, for now that's a little secret either.

"Hannah?! Did I say 'come in?' How can I finish doing this if you keep bugging me! Out! Shoo shoo!!"

She really don't care coming in and out of my room, that's something that makes her so annoying.

Pouting, she stared at me.

"Big Brother... Hurry up and finish it already! Geez!"

"I'll finish it after my break. I want to take a nap for a minute!"

I laid down to my bed and in that very second my eyes closed.

The room was almost empty for I was nearly finish packing my stuff.

"Brother, stand up!"

"..."

"Hey! I said stand up!"

Impatiently, she called for me again and again, but when I wasn't able to answer, she walked towards me and shaked me as hard as she could.

By that brute force, I fell on the empty floor from my bed, facing the ceiling.

*Ugh*

"...Hmm"

With a short hum, Slowly, I opened my eyes, which had become bleary, probably because of the short nap.

From that position, I made a glimpse of her underpants, for she's standing over me.(A/T she was wearing a short skirt)

Hurriedly, I shifted my eyes away from it...

"Hannah..."

"Hmmm?"

"I..."

"Hmmm?"

"I can..."

"Hmmm? What is it, big brother?"

"I can see your underpants!"

"..."

A sudden silence covered the room for a second. What followed next?

*THUGGGG!*

"Ughghuff!"

Yes. A merciless blow of a kick in my stomach!

"Ahhckk"

"Awake now? Hmmp?"

"Uhuff"

—coughing...for a second I remained silent.

"..."

After few moment, I Stood up in a zombie-like mode and started to move slowly towards her.

After taking few steps, I fell on the floor again as if I was like a bird that had been shot down and fell from the tree, and hardly gripped my chest.

—screamed...

"...Gaaaaaaaaaa!..."

"..."

"G-get... Get out!"

"H-Huh?"

Hannah, in mixture of confusion and curiosity, she couldn't even make a single movement.

"...I-uhhh...actually I have a 'if you don't leave the room right now, I will pinch your face till its swollen syndrome!' A.k.a P.F syndrome!"

"W-what is that!?"

Placing her left hand covering her mouth... Wide-eyed, Hannah was shocked seeing me doing weird stunts like that...

It was like she saw a certain person helplessly drowning in a deep vast ocean.

If you're wondering, Hannah can't swim.

"L-leave now...while I still can get hold of my self..."

"But... W-what about you?"

"D-dont, w-worry...I-I can get trough this. At least my cute little sister will be safe...I- I will be happy to... Arggg!!!"

"Brother!"

"L-Leave now!... Leave..!"

"No... We will leave together!"

"Grrrrrrr! Gaaaaaaaaaa!"

"Nyaaaaaaaaaa!"

I stood up eagerly, wildly chased after Hannah.

"Rrrrrrrrr—rrrrrrrrr"

My hands are on "I will eat your heart if I capture you" pose as I roared...

"Gyaaaaaaakyaaaaaaaa!"

With a magnificent scream, Hannah ran as fast as she could as if zombies were really chasing after her.

"Haaaaaaa"

—with a long sigh...

I exhaled and took back my breath.

Thanks to the book "Date A Live" I obtained the talent to get rid of my annoying little sister, out of my room.

But I guess I need to apologize later!

Probably because she's still terrified!

Well, It's her fault anyway.

Her voice is cheerful. But man, she is totally annoying! Tch!

After few minutes I'm all ready to move out, it's really sad leaving everything behind.

For me this is the hardest thing to do.

My decision is still half baked for I'm not certain about anything.

As soon as I've done my package I stepped out of my room.

As I was about to walk down the stairs, carrying my luggage, Mom suddenly appeared with a scary look in her face.

Loudly she asked with her both hands placed on her waist.

"Eren! What did you do to your little sister?!"

"..."

"Look at her, she's hiding under the table... She looks terrible!"

In case you were wondering, "Eren" is a nickname, my mom and Hannah used to call me.

Furrowed her brows, she pointed her finger to the table where Hannah was surely hiding.

"So... What did you do?"

"...Actually..."

"...Haay..."

—Making a short sigh...

"Don't answer... Go, just apologize to her."

In a calm voice mom declared with a smile drawn on her unbelievably young looking face.

She went upstairs to finish what she's doing.

She's still halfway done talking all Hannah's stuff into the moving truck.

Descended the stairs, I put my luggage down on the corner.

I took a glance around and looked at the table where Hannah was certainly concealing her presence...

Slowly, I walked towards her, silencing my footsteps.

I was planning to scare her a little bit more, but when I saw how terrified she was, I changed my plan.

Under the table her eyes were closed, hugging her knees, Hannah was shivering,

Reaching her, I put my hand on her head, gently patting her.

"Gyaaaaaa!"

Letting out a great scream, she was petrified.

"Hannah calm down! Calm down..."

"..."

"It's me... See?"

"....huh? Big brother..."

"Hannah...sorry, I was just playing around! Sorry"

"You... You don't have the P.F syndrome?"

"Nope! I'm your usual big brother."

Gently I held her hand, helped her move out of the table.

With a gentle smile, her frightened face returned to it's former beauty.

Thankfully, she calmed down as if she was a tamed dragon finally found her rightful master.

Wiped her teary eyes, she turned away from me.

"Eren, you dummy!"

"..."

With that sad, or rather cute, or maybe misleading expression, my shoulders lowered as if it loses its strength to support upper my body...

My face turned blue, my head dropped looking down, with a short sigh, I muttered...

—I thought I was forgiven...

After few moments, she returned her gaze to me.

With a wonderful light smile on her face—We both understood, everything is settled.

Scratched my head, I fixed my pose, then gave her gently a sweet smile in return.

...

With everything's set, we head to the door, aiming for the moving truck.

As I stepped outside, I was surprised when I saw everyone there waiting.

"What are you doing here guys?"

I asked with a surprised or rather indescribable expression on my face.

"How could you ask? Of course to see you off! To think you're leaving without saying anything to your friends. You really are so stupid, do you know that?"

Without giving an specific expression, Ceddy replied.

I've never heard him say something so serious about things like this before.

I was, kinda shocked hearing him say those words.

"You're not angry?"

"Nope"

"Really?"

"Really!"

"Really, real, really?"

"Really, real, really! stupid."

With that smile all my doubs and hesitation suddenly disappeared.

I asked Kelvin and Mark about how they feel about me leaving.

But their answers are the same as what Ceddy said.
