"He barely touched his food Oneechan."  Kasumi looked up from the 
dishes
she was washing and stared into her little sister's worried face, oh 
she
may deny it every time she could but the truth was that she did care 
for
her inaazuke.

Two tired, canned fanfiction openings combined into one. Boring. 

Kasumi looked up from the dishes she was washing, and stared into her 
little sister's worried face. <Oh, she may deny it, but the truth is 
obvious whenever they're together--just hurry, Akane-chan. I've always

That makes the two of us, and probably 90% of fans. It's called OOC.

OOC doesn't mean that a character does something he normally

This fic has no point. The premise is valid, but it leaves me cold, and 
you don't explore it. You're dialogue is top-heavy.
