Ruri held on tightly to Mokichi showing no sign of letting him go Mokichi and the four sisters were shocked and could only stand there and stare at her "Ruri, whats the matter?"Mokichi asked touching his sister on the head "Nii-chans and idiot if he hasn't figured it out by now!" Ruri shouted "What do you mean?" Mokichi asked "I don't want anyone taking my nii-chan from me again!" Ruri shouted "Take me away from you?" Mokichi said even more confused "Yes, liked those four girls back home"Ruri said Mokichi felt a lump in his throat "You mean..." Mokichi said slowly coming to the conclusion of what Ruri was going on about Ruri nodded "After you became friends with those girls you stopped doing stuff with me" Ruri said "You'd go with them whenever they called for you" Ruri said "And you'd leave me all alone" Ruri sniffled Mokichi felt a sickening yet saddening feeling in his heart "Ruri..I had no idea.." Mokichi said.
Ruri sniffled again "No, you didn't but I hid my feelings because I saw how happy you were with them" Ruri said "I didn't want to be selfish" Ruri said "Ruri..if you had just said something.." Mokichi started "You would have what!?" Ruri shouted "I didn't say nothing because I knew youd be hurt if you had to split up with those girls because of me" Ruri said Mokichi felt like he was going to start crying "Ruri..I..." Mokichi said "But when I saw how hurt you were when they did that awful thing to you" Ruri said "It hurt me as well" Ruri said "I thought maybe if I had said something you wouldn't have gone through that" Ruri said "So, I hated myself for it and I wanted you to hate me" Ruri said "Is that why.." Mokichi said coming to a realization Ruri nodded "Yes, that's why I've been so mean to you" Ruri said "I wanted you to hate me.." Ruri said Mokichi grabbed Ruri and hugged her tightly "Ruri I could never hate you!" Mokichi said "Your my sister no matter what you do I'll never hate you as long as I live" Mokichi said Ruri felt tears welling up in her eyes "Nii-chan" Ruri said.
Mokichi and Ruri stood there together in silence "How could I have been so blind" Mokichi said "I could I have not seen that I was hurting you" Mokichi said Ruri giggled "Nii-chan was always and idiot" she said Mokichi felt a twinge in his heart and he smiled "Yeah, I sure am, your big brothers a complete idiot" Mokichi said "Can you ever forgive him?" Mokichi asked looking down at Ruri who looked up and smiled and nodded "Yep, I can forgive nii-chan for being a complete idiot just this once" Ruri said Mokichi smiled "Thanks Ruri" Mokichi said "Your welcome Nii-chan" Ruri said "Uhm..excuse me?" Saeko said Mokichi and Ruri looked over at the four sisters who had been watching them the whole time Ruri huffed and glared at them "What do you want" Ruri said "Uhm..well on behalf of all of us I want to apologies" Saeko said Ruri puffed out her cheeks and she pulled Mokichi closer "Your not getting nii-chan" Ruri said Saeko was shot down "Uhm...Ruri-chan could you please listen to me for a second" Saeko asked "No" Ruri huffed turing her face away.

Mokichi chuckled nervously "L..Looks like the old Ruri's back" Mokichi said "Hey Moki-kun talk some sense into your sister" Euiko said Ruri looked over at Euiko and stuck her tounge out at her "Why you" Euiko growled under her breath "Sorry, when Ruri's like this not even I can get her to listen" Mokichi said "Yeah, so why don't the four of your nii-chan stealers leave" Ruri said "Nii-chan stealers!" the four sisters said together "Momo! Say something!" Koharu said "Sorry, like I said she won't even listen to me" Mokichi said "I think it be best for you four to head back home" Mokichi said "But Mo-kun" Reiko said "Please, can you guys just go" Mokichi said a hint of saddness to his tone the four sisters looked at each other and they nodded "Okay we'll go" Reiko said "Come on girls lets go home" Saeko said "Sorry, about this guys theres no helping it" Mokichi said the four sisters said nothing Saeko picked her stuff up and they headed out leaving Mokichi and Ruri alone in his room Ruri let out a laugh "Yay! I get nii-chan all to myself!" Ruri said and she snuggled against Mokichi's chest.
Mokichi couldn't help but smile seeing his sister like she use to be "I still can't believe Ruri was affected by that so much" Mokichi said to himself "Why couldn't I have noticed.." Mokichi asked himself "If I had noticed that maybe I could have prevented that whole ordeal" Mokichi said to himself his mind wandering back to that time that event on the rooftop of his middle school he and Sami,Maki, Miyu, and Mari standing across from each other the four girls atticipating his answer and then it cuts to there devestated faces and then each one of them leaving one after the other each one caused Mokichi to hurt more but when even Maki his childhood friend left hurt by his choice that was the final blow and that cause him to shut himself away from the world he must have put Ruri through hell not talking with her or even spending time with her like he use to he couldn't believe he let his sister be hurt so much "Harems truly are evil.." Mokichi said and he gritted his teeth he looked at his sisters smiling face hearing her laugh like she use to "I don't want her to go throught that again" Mokichi said "I'll make sure that I destroy this harem when the time comes" Mokichi said "I swear it" he added.
