Ryuuto could hear his sister's alarm going off through the sounds of carnage as he tore through his enemies. Ryuuto was already washed and fully-dressed in his uniform, ready to walk out the door while most students were just crawling out of bed. Now, Ryuuto didn't wake up that much earlier than most, but he was all about efficiency. A shower took two-minutes tops, his uniform was already laid out and he just had to slip it on, he tied his tie the night before and just had to slip it over his head to tighten the loop. The longest part of his morning was waiting for that damn rice cooker to hurry up and cook the rice. Unfortunately, some things in life couldn't be optimized; rice just had to cook. But, he just set the rice cooker up as soon as he woke up, got ready, and then stared at the very, [i]very[/i] slowly cooking rice until he could scoop himself a bowl. 

He scooped a mouthful of rice into his mouth during a load screen while he heard his sister fumbling around her drawers, calling out to their mom about where her things were. It was amazing how disorganized Sayo could be, and Ryuuto just didn't get how she lost so many things. If you put something somewhere, it would be there the next time you looked for it. Simple. There was a bit more scrambling, and then Ryuuto heard his door open. 

[color=8dc73f]"Ryuuto! What are you doing playing video games!? You have school in an hour!"[/color] 

[color=f7941d]"Fifty-eight minutes, actually,"[/color] Ryuuto said in a calm voice, not taking his eyes off the screen, even as his mom chastised him. [color=f7941d]"This is a Thirty-one minute run, and school is twenty-six minutes away. I'm twelve minutes into the run so that means I have..."[/color] He did a brief calculation in his head. [color=f7941d]"Thirteen [i]extra[/i] minutes. It's fine, Mom."[/color]

His mom furrowed her brow. [color=8dc73f]"Well, then let's hope you can find your sister's ribbon in those thirteen extra minutes of yours."[/color] 

[color=f7941d]"H-huh?"[/color] Ryuuto gave his mom a flabbergasted expression.

[color=8dc73f]"It's Sayo's first day of Middle School and I want you to with her."[/color]

[color=f7941d]"Ah, geez, but... fine..."[/color] With a sigh, Ryuuto turned off his game. He certainly wasn't a doting sibling, but he did at least do the bear minimum of what a big brother should do for his sister. Even if she was annoying. He pushed open his sister's door to begin the fetch quest and saw Sayo tossing her things all about her room, looking for her ribbon. [color=f7941d]"Gah, Sayo, stop throwing things. You'll just make it harder to find."[/color]

[color=ec008c]"But I know I put it right here so I wouldn't lose it! It doesn't make any sense!"[/color]

Ryuuto looked to his right and saw a ribbon hanging off of her dresser. [color=f7941d]"Found it,"[/color] he said in a deadpan voice.

Sayo scrambled over to the dresser. [color=ec008c]"Really!? Thank you so much Onii-chan! That's... that's not my lucky ribbon."[/color]

Ryuuto rubbed the bridge of his nose. [color=f7941d]"Who cares? It's just a stupid ribbon. You have like five of them and they're all the same. Just put it on and lets--"[/color] Sayo started to tear up. [color=f7941d]"Ah, geez. Okay, it's not a stupid ribbon. We'll find it when we get home, but we're gonna be late. Here..."[/color] He took the ribbon and tied it into her hair, a skill he had to learn to abate his sister's incessant nagging. [color=f7941d]"See? You look just as cute in this one. Now can we please go?"[/color]

Sayo looked herself over in the mirror while Ryuuto impatiently tapped his food. [color=ec008c]"Mmm... Okay. I guess it will do."[/color]

With the crisis averted, Ryuuto left the house with his sister, frequently checking his watch. As they walked to the middle school, Sayo bombarded him with questions. What was middle school going to be like? Was it going to be hard? Would he help her with her homework? Ryuuto did his best to reassure her. As annoying as she was, she was still his sister and he cared about her, even if he didn't care about her stupid ribbon. [color=f7941d]"Don't worry,"[/color] he said at last. [color=f7941d]"Part of middle school is learning how to figure things out for yourself. I know you'll do fine and by the end of the year, you'll be the one telling [i]me[/i] to stop bugging you."[/color] He gave her a pat on the back and smiled as she boldly marched up to the school gates to meet her new friends. 

[color=f7941d]"Whew! Now that that's over..."[/color] He checked his watch as he headed to the high school, calculating how much time he had left to get to school and if he had time to get in a quick dungeon on Puzzle and Dragons, when suddenly he was staring up at the sky.

[color=00a651]"Oh crap, you ok? Sorry I ran into ya, I'm kinda du-ooooohhhnowhy..."[/color]

It took Ryuuto a minute to realize what just happened. [color=f7941d]"Ugh... crap. What the hell! You should watch where you're... umm... oh...[/color] Ryuuto started to snap at the boy, but then the sun was eclipsed as the colossus loomed over him. A cold sweat came over his body. His first thought was that he had just run into some gang's hired muscle, but then he saw the school uniform. What the hell? There definitely wasn't anybody this big in Middle School. Either this guy was new to town, or some kid had one hell of a growth spurt. Then he realized that he was staring. [color=f7941d]"Oh, uhh, n-no worries, right? S-sorry for bumping into you."[/color] Ryuuto laughed nervously, praying to every god he knew that this kid wouldn't rip him in half.
