Round Six - Nakamura

Junko wasn't exactly academic but, like her mother, she loved chess. She could even beat the highly driven and academic Yuki!


The Knox twins were still frequent visitors and Junko was becoming aware that her feelings for Ruth were a little more than platonic. She hoped her friend felt the same way - she seemed flirty but Ruth was flirty generally these days, having left awkward childhood behind and become an outgoing young lady.


Noah seemed to have a soft-spot for one or other of Junko and Yuki too, pointedly turning down the advances of any other friends they had visiting, but when Yuki tried to delicately steer him towards telling them what was going on he seemed oblivious in the way common to teenage boys. She hoped he hadn't fallen for her; it was flattering but she was already beginning to realise that the way she felt about Ruth wasn't an aberration from her norm.


If his affection was centered on Junko, she was entirely oblivious. She was already Miss Popular, making friends all over the place. Her new best friend was Meadow and Junko wasted no time in grilling her on all the nuances of teenage romance.


The twins made sure to stay close to each other even though their social lives were blossoming and went on frequent outings, often with Hiro in tow.

"Where were you last night? I didn't hear you come in," said Yuki on one such outing. Junko rolled her eyes and grinned.

"None of your beeswax, sis. Watch this!"


Of course, however good the twins got at bowling they could never hope to beat Hiro. His skills with all things athletic were impressive.


Junko's attention span was approximately three minutes long so the moment the family bought a pool-table she abandoned the chess-set. She took to it naturally; she had a passion for any and all games.


Yuki may have been career-driven and rather academic but that didn't stop her having as much of a vain side as her twin. She loved to check herself out in the mirror and make sure she looked her best - keeping herself well-presented could only be a bonus in achieving greatness!


Nobuo and Sachiko were getting older but it didn't curb their amorousness one little bit. Hiro was unconcerned.


Junko was less impressed. Her parents were old! Old people shouldn't be doing ANYTHING! As far as she was concerned, she and her siblings were created via asexual cell division.


Hiro finally graduated high school but was in no rush to leave the family home. There was no need; his sisters had already expressed plans of moving out someday, and he wasn't in a rush. He was still into Destiny Knox and once she'd graduated too she would probably join all of them.


Note: Yuki really does check herself out whenever she passes a mirror! I love the twins, they're so pretty and they know it.
