Chapter 1: Nishijima Takahiro
"Nissy!! Come back here!!!!" A loud shriek was heard throughout the whole orhanage, as an angry 8 year old girl chased a pantsless 6 year old boy throughout the house. Said boy squealed and laughed as he bolted down the hallway, down the stairs, tripped over baby Shinjiro, caught his balance and then hid behind the tall Naoya-nii.
Unfortunately for Nissy, though, Naoya picked him up by the back of his collar like a mother lion does to its pup, and dropped him right infront of Misako. The panting 8 year old was flushed red from the chase and from anger as she pulled Nissy by the ear, "You, mister, are in big trouble. What are you doing running around the house and outside in the lawn with no pants on, eh?!"
Nishijima Takahiro was a little bratty devil behind the mask of a perfect angel face. He loved being the centre of attention, and was quite narcissistic for a child his age. When he starts to talk, he's like a runaway train, in which there is just no end. But the kid was always happy and his bright personality was a pleasure to be around, at most times.
"Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow! You're hurting me, Misako-nee! You're going to ruin my perfect little ear! It's going to swell up and then my ears won't be symmetrical anymore! I'm going to look like DUMBO, and it'll be all your fault!!" Nissy, the little brat that he is, screamed at the top of his lungs, gaining the attention of Chiaki who was playing dress up upstairs, and Hidaka and Shuuta who were tending to baby Shinjiro's boo-boo from when Nissy tripped over him.
Misako gave Nissy a dirty glare, and dragged the boy away kicking and screaming, as the rest of the kids went back to what they were doing. Once she finally wrestled some pants onto the boy, she dragged him to the kitchen. Misako dropped Nissy once they were in the kitchen and she pointed to the sink full of dirty dishes. "As punishment, do the dishes, Nissy."
Sniffling, Nissy dragged himself over to the sink, mumbling, "Misako-baba."
Misako growled as she dumped more dirty dishes into the sink, "Call me that again, and you will never finish washing dishes, Nissy."
Nissy whimpered at the amount of dishes he had to wash and without another word, began to wash them, all the while imagining himself to be Cinderella and Misako as the evil step-mother, and 2 evil step-sisters. Because, of course, Misako was evil enough to be all 3 characters in one.
-------
"Everyone got the plan?" Nissy whispers inside the little closet with a piece of paper which read '3 Musketeers members ONLY!' on the door.
"Question, what happens when we get in trouble?" Hidaka asks, shuddering at the thought.
"We won't get in trouble! We never get in trouble!" Nissy pouts, slapping Hidaka's arm as Hidaka shudders, "Don't think about it!"
"And if we get in trouble, we run." Shuuta grins at Nissy and Hidaka.
Hidaka snorts, "Easy for you to say, you're the fastest runner in the house! Misako-nee couldn't catch you even when she has Chiaki-chan and Naoya-nii helping her!"
Shuuta shrugs, "Each man for themself." Hidaka slaps his arm.
"Anyways! Got the plan?" Nissy cuts their talk off, disliking the fact that they weren't talking to him even though he was right there.
Hidaka and Shuuta sigh, but nod. Nissy grins, "Alright! Mission: Revenge, action!"
--------
Nissy's plan was perfect. Shuuta, stealthy as the moonless night, creeps into Misako-nee's room when she's helping Hidaka, being forever amazing with his words, with his homework. And as Hidaka distracts Misako-nee from going upstairs to her own room, Shuuta grabs her favourite summer dress, then drops it out her window, where Nissy will be waiting to catch the dress. Shuuta then stealthily creeps back out the room without leaving a trace, and Nissy will take the dress and smear it with mud. He then puts the dress back into her room, wash his hands, and no one will ever know who ruined her dress! It was the perfect plan. Afterall, it was thought up by Nissy, himself, why wouldn't it be perfect?
And thus the plan was executed. Everything was perfect. Until Misako-nee caught on, and promised not to punish Hidaka if he told her what was happening. Hidaka, being forever scared of the older girl, told her what was going on. And the 8 year old girl caught Nissy right as he was placing her dress back into her closet.
"Well, well, well, what do we have here?" Misako says, leaning on the doorframe as she sees Nissy tense up, dropping her muddied dress.
"M-M-M-Misako-nee... haha, what a surprise seeing you here!" Nissy turns around slowly, backing away from the menacing Misako-nee.
"Why wouldn't I be here, eh? This is, afterall, my room. And that thing on the floor is, obviously, my dress." Misako glares at Nissy.
"... Oh! It's your dress? I was just putting it back! I found it outside, all muddied, you know, and I thought, why not be nice to Misako-nee and put the dress back!" Nissy's eyes darted from one corner to the other, one of the little things he always did when he lied.
Misako smiles, "Oh really? Why thank you, Nissy."
Nissy blew a breath of relief, "You're welcome, Misako-nee! If you need anything else, I'll be downstairs!" And was just about to leave when Misako's hand went down hard on his shoulder.
"Not so fast, little bugger. I know what you did, don't even lie." Misako said, grabbing onto Nissy's ear and twisted. Hard.
"OW, OW, OW, OW! Misako-nee! You're going to tear my poor little ear off!" Nissy wailed, screamed and kicked at the older child.
"As punishment for ruining my favourite dress, you're going to bed without dinner tonight!" She says over his screams, and pushes him into his own room, locking the door from the outside. "Think about what you did."
And with that, her footsteps could be heard walking away from Nissy's room.
--------
Nissy sniffled, "Stupid Misako-baba. She started it! With making such a big deal of me running around the house with no pants on! It's all her fault! If she didn't chase me around like that, I wouldn't have to ruin her dress!"
Nissy wiped his nose on his sleeve as he sat on his bed, legs dangling off the side. "... But I guess it was kind of my fault too... Obviously not fully! Because it's never my fault! ... But this time, I guess, it was a bit my fault. I did run around with no pants on. Chiaki hated it." Nissy giggles, remembering how Chiaki shrieked when she saw Nissy nude from the waste down, "And I did hurt baby Shin-chan..." Nissy remembered how Hidaka and Shuuta had to calm the little 4 year old boy down and distract him from his forming bruise.
The boy sighed, "Fine. I was wrong. It was my fault." His tummy grumbled, as he looked down at it, rubbing it, "Don't worry, you're not hungry. You're not hungry."
Then, he heard it. The sound of the door being unlocked. Nissy, raising a brow, went to the door, and slowly turned the handle. To his surprise, the door opened. Looking down, he saw a tray with his dinner on it and a note on the side. Picking up the note, he read, "I hope you learned you lesson, brat." Nissy snorted, "Shut up, Misako-baba."
And instead of leaving his room, he brought the tray into his room, closed the door, locked it and ate by himself, all the while thinking that Misako-nee wasn't evil enough to be all 3 step mother and step-sisters. Instead, she was just the evil step-mother. That was evil enough for her.
