Great Will: Familiar enough [Episode 187247]

by Kestral

His name was Tatewaki Kuno, and he was a dedicated practitioner of kendo. Daily he spent his time focussed on that goal, which he counted a worthy one for one of his ancestry and position. As a scion of the Kuno family, which was not as wealthy as some but certainly well-to-do it was almost a social requirement that he live up to a higher standard than that practiced around him.

He was also certainly aware that girls, in his opinion at least, were nuts. Best not to associate with such more than was necessary.

There was no time nor energy to be wasted on understanding them, for he well understood their logic system was not one that any male could ever fully grasp. Far better to focus on the perfecting of one's form and skills, to bring honor to one's family and school and community through the pursuit of excellence.

Nabiki stealing his notebook in a transparent ploy was hardly worth considering. How silly the hormonal antics of women. No, it was the Art that demanded his focus - his love and devotion.

"Oh hohohohohohoho! At last, Akane Tendo, you WILL be mine!"

Take one perfect example of hormonally addled female for example. His twisted sister.

"My sister, how long will you fritter monies away on a girl who clearly does not return your affections?" asked Tatewaki as his sister began throwing odd objects into her cauldron. That she had chosen his practice yard for her attempts at sorcery was his main objection. It wasn't as if her attempts at magic were anything like successful.

"Brother dear, you cannot hope to understand the heart of a young maiden," declared Kodachi. "Love between maidens is an important step in our culture."

Tatewaki sighed. "I understand, my sister. With boys your own age more interested in setting up for their careers and futures, and showing a distinct lack of interest in women as anything but somewhat illogical friends - it is quite natural for shojo ai to be fairly common."

"You put such a thing so crassly," said Kodachi haughtilly.

"Affecting regal airs when so scantily clad, and with the little skulls-and-leather costume," said Tatewaki, shaking his head. "Have you no pride as a Kuno?"

"It is because I have pride as a Kuno that I have settled on the masculinely toned form of Akane as mine own," said Kodachi with a little look at her outfit. Maybe the shoulder pad/armor and cape were a bit much? No, couldn't be.
