JUST BREATHE
By: Daphne Li
Chapter 1.
~*~*~*~
"Hey, shy-by! Get a move on!"
Amethyst eyes blinked open sleepily, adjusting to their surroundings. A small hand brushed away sleep-sand, and then fluttered over to the alarm- clock, which rested on the small bedside table; it read 6:30. A soft groan emitted from cherry-red lips.
Hilde Hiiragizawa sat up in bed, wrinkling her nose at the sound of someone washing their hands in the bathroom that linked to her room, and connected it with her sister's.
"Are you awake, yet?" Came another loud shout from the bathroom. It was her twin sister, Heidi.
"I am." She called back, her voice much softer than her sister's. She slowly climbed out of bed and walked over to her walk-in closet. She quickly got out her new school uniform, which consisted of a white blouse, long blue skirt and a blue knitted jacket, and put them on. Then she walked over to her full-length mirror and began to brush out her long, luxurious raven-black hair.
A petite girl of sixteen gazed back at her, with hair that fell to her bottom and eyes that sparkled with amethysts. Hilde was rather slim, but she tended to wear clothes that hid that fact. After she had finished brushing her hair, she quickly pulled it back into it's usual perfect bun, and looked at herself in the mirror one last time, before picking up her book-bag and going downstairs.
By the time she got there, her parents and brother were all ready sitting at the table, bantering happily about something or other. A large pile of luggage stood in a corner of the room, all packed and ready for their trip.
"Good morning, honey." Her mother, Tomoyo Hiiragizawa, said softly, hugging her. Hilde smiled and returned the hug, as her father rolled his eyes at her behind her mother's back.
"School starts today, Hill." Her younger brother, Yuki, stated. Hilde raised an eyebrow at him, but said nothing.
"She knows. She's wearing her uniform." Her father filled in. Yuki smirked.
"Oh? I didn't notice." He teased. This earned him a whack on head from the girl who had just entered the room. She was identical to Hilde in every way, but she was more muscular and her hair was shorter; it only reached to her shoulders. This was Heidi, Hilde's twin.
Though they were twins, the girls were different as night and day. While Heidi was loud and energetic, loving anything that had to do with sports, and also boy-crazy, Hilde was quiet and more timid, enjoying being alone and hating sports with a passion. There were also other differences. Heidi had already had five boy-friends in the one year she had been allowed to date, while Hilde refused any offers, though she had many.
But the most prominent difference was...
"So, today you're leaving for Japan, again. You going to stay there this time?" Yuki asked, his eyes twinkling. Heidi shot him a glare and wrinkled her nose.
"Wouldn't you love that?" She hissed. Then she added something under her breath that Hilde thought sounded like, "I sure would".
Yes, Heidi Hiiragizawa went to school in Tomeda, Japan. They had traveled there for the first time when the girls were five, and Heidi had fallen in love with it. She had wanted to stay permanently, but her parents decided they would miss her too much. So they negotiated. She would go to Japan during the school year, then come back for all the holidays.
But Hilde, had refused to go. She couldn't bear the thought of leaving her family and home for that long a time, so she had decided to stay, while Heidi stayed with her grandmother in Japan. Suffice to say, Sonomi was thrilled to have someone to care for, and Heidi was spoiled rotten by her grandmother.
"Oops! We'd better go, Di, or you'll miss your flight." Eriol called, getting up. Heidi gave a squeal and quickly finished her bite of food. She kissed her mother chastely on the cheek, hit her brother upside the head, then grabbed some of her stuff.
"Bye Mum! By Squirt! See you later, shy-by." She called, racing from the room. Hilde sighed. That was her sister's nickname for her. Shy-by. Where it had come from, no one knew but them, but Hilde was not about to tell anyone about it.
"I have to meet Akane. We are walking to school together." She murmured, kissing her mother's cheek and hugging her brother. Yuki, surprisingly enough, hugged her back.
"See you, Hill." He mumbled, going back to his food. Tomoyo and Hilde shared a look, and Tomoyo smiled.
"Have a good day, honey. Tell Akane I say 'hello'." She called as Hilde left the room.
Hilde quickly made her way across her grounds to the Burnside mansion. This was where her best friend, Akane Burnside, lived. Their parents had been close friends, so they had grown up together, finding comfort and companionship with each other.
"Hilde! Over here!" Came Akane's sweet voice. Hilde turned and for the first time that morning, flashed her a real smile, revealing a small dimple near the corner of her mouth.
"Has Heidi gone yet?" Akane asked, as they began to walk down the sidewalk. Hilde nodded, but said nothing. Akane, being used to Hilde's silence, simply smiled and continued walking beside her friend.
~*~*~*~
"Hello? Is anyone home?"
"SEAMUS!"
Hilde looked up from her homework and smiled as her older 'cousin' walked into the room, grinning.
"Hey Nirah. How are you doing, Hilde?" He asked, stooping to gently kiss her forehead. Nirah, Seamus's fourteen year old sister, frowned and glomped him for not answering her welcome. Akane, who was sitting at the table next to Hilde, grinned, and Yuki shot him a sly wink.
"Good evening, Seamus. How was your day?" She asked softly. He turned and smiled.
"As well as it could have been. My college classes are annoying, but they are helping." He muttered.
"You'd better believe it!" His mother laughed, walking into the room. Nakuru Kinomoto hugged Hilde's shoulder's gently, before cuffing her son on the head.
"OW! Mum, what was that for?"
"Seamus, you're twenty years old. Start acting like it!"
"Take your own advice, Nakuru!" Laughed Tomoyo Hiiragizawa, walking into the room with her husband. It was near supper-time, and everyone, including Akane's family, were gathering at the Daidouji residence for dinner. The girls and Yuki had been working on homework when Seamus had intruded.
"Hello, all! What have we missed?" Tyson Burnside called, walking into the room with an arm about Naoko's waist and another around Touya Kinomoto's shoulders.
"Nothing much. Now sit down. This room's all ready becoming too crowded with everyone standing up!" Milly commanded, her eyes sparkling. She had just entered through the kitchen doors, a dish of steaming casserole in her hands. Everyone quickly did as they were told, and soon they were all eating.
"So...how was your day?" Tyson asked Akane, after she had just put a bite in her mouth. The group laughed as she quickly swallowed.
"Very funny, daddy. School was great. The teachers were nice and the girls seemed to get along..."
"What about the boys?" Seamus asked. Akane rolled her eyes at him, and Akane's older sister, Tara, glared.
"There's no boys at our school, Seamus. You know that! It's a private, all- girl school, thank God." She mumbled, flipping a strand of her long, light brown hair over her shoulder, her brown eyes boring into Seamus's. Unlike Akane, who had completely taken after her father in the look's department, seventeen year-old Tara looked like her mother.
"Pity, too. It would be jolly fun to be in the same school with my dearest sister." Yuki stated, batting his eyelashes at Hilde. She let out a soft laugh.
"You'd be expelled before you even reached your first class, Yuki." She told him, her amethyst eyes sparkling. It was times like these where she could not help but talk and laugh like the rest of her family.
"I guess you're right." He muttered, digging into his food. This caused another round of laughter.
"Now, how was your first day of school?" Tomoyo asked her daughter. Hilde shrugged, and Akane glared at her.
"She refused to try out for choir. I tried to persuade her, but nothing would make her." She whined. Tomoyo and Eriol eyed their daughter with worry. Hilde didn't seem to mind being in the shadows and watching people, but when it came to actually doing something herself, she shied away.
"Why, Hilde?" Eriol asked softly, his cerulean blue eyes boring into hers. Hilde said nothing, but her eyes did. They clearly said, 'because I didn't want to'.
With a sigh, he looked at his wife and shrugged. They had two daughters, different as night and day. It was hard to handle Heidi after they were so used to Hilde's silence...but they didn't mind.
That was just the way life went.
~*~*~*~
"HEIDI!!!"
"BAILEY!!!" Heidi shrieked, rushing into the arms of her best friend. Bailey Terada had been her best friend since first grade, always sticking by her side and supporting her in everything she did.
"I missed you so much! How was England?" Bailey asked, as they walked into Tomeda High School. Heidi sighed.
"All right. But I would have rather spent my summer break here. It was so boring! Yuki bantering me at every turn, Mom and dad worrying about my safety...Hilde being her normal mute self. I mean, the girl has a voice...one hell of a voice, if you ask me. Why can't she use it?" Heidi sighed. Bailey shrugged.
"How should I know? I've never met her." She reminded her. Out of all her friends at this school, Bailey was the only one who knew that Heidi even had a sister, let alone twin. Heidi had kept it secret for a reason, but no one, not even Bailey, knew why.
"So, did you have a good break?"
"Ugh. It was all right, until Isaac and Jacob decided to invite Hiro and Kojii over for a few nights. It was unbearable!" Bailey shuddered. Isaac and Jacob were her older brothers, but when it came to tastes in friends, Bailey was sure that she got the icing on the cake.
"That must have been horrid! But why don't we go run it off at the track?" She suggested, quickly changing he subject. Bailey nodded, then smirked.
"Oh, and Kojii was boasting about how much better he is at running than you are. He was prancing around like a proud rooster the whole time you were away!" Bailey laughed. Immediately, Heidi's anger flared. This was another aspect of her otherwise horrible life. Kojii Li. Sure, his parents were best friends of hers, and he was also next in line for being the ruler of Hong Kong, but big whoop! He was still an a** hole in her mind.
"If I see that boy...ohhhhh! I am going to whip his a** off!" She hissed, stalking over to the track. Bailey followed her, laughing.
~*~*~*~
"KOJII LI, YOU'VE BREATHED YOUR LAST!"
Four boys turned, smirking.
The first had spiky-brown hair and brown eyes that twinkled with mischief. The second was almost identical to him, but looked a bit younger, and was less built. The third boy had black hair, and brown eyes. He was the tallest of the boys, and he had an air of roguishness to him.
And the fourth...the fourth had messy chestnut hair and brown eyes that flashed with eagerness at the row that was about to insue; the boys were known as Jacob and Isaac Terada, Hiro Yamazaki, and Kojii Li.
"What do you want, Hiiragizawa?" Kojii asked in a hard-tipped voice. The irate girl stomped in front of him, her raven hair mussed and her amethyst eyes flaring with anger.
"So...you can run faster than me, huh?" She hissed, her finger poking him in the chest. Kojii grinned.
"Yeah. What of it?" The smirking eighteen year-old asked, running a hand through his chestnut hair.
"YOU GAKI! NO ONE, ESPECIALLY YOU, CAN OUTRUN ME!!!" She shrieked, her fist connecting with his chest. He let out a laugh.
"Weakling. Is that the best you can do?" He chuckled. Behind him, Isaac and Jacob were standing back, fearing Heidi's wrath, while Hiro looked back and forth between them, seemingly torn between amusement and worry.
"YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY DESPICABLE! I WAS RIGHT WHEN I TOLD SIS THAT YOU WERE OF THE DEVIL!!!" She shouted, her body shaking with anger. Kojii's laughter disappeared and his face hardened.
"You told who that?" He hissed. Heidi, realizing her mistake, growled.
"None of your business. But she sure agreed." She stated. He growled back.
"Has she ever even met me?"
"No, thank God. At least she has had the luxury of avoiding that." Heidi hissed back. Bailey winced and tugged on Heidi's sleeve as a soft ring was heard.
"Your cell phone..." She trailed off as the annoying thing rang again, this time, everyone heard it. Tomoyo had insisted that her children carry these phones, just in case. Hilde had a purple one, Yuki had a blue one, and she had a sparkly black one.
"Hello?" She asked in an annoyed voice. There was silence for a moment.
"You are angry." A soft voice stated. Heidi immediately melted as her sister's soothing voice came over the line.
"You've got that right. I just got finished telling Kojii Li off." She stated, ignoring Kojii's outraged shout. Hilde sighed softly.
"You must have been very angry. I could feel it clearly from here. Heidi, please be careful. I don't want either of you hurt." She murmured. Heidi snorted.
"I won't get hurt, but I can't say the same about him. Now, where are you, anyway?"
"In the girl's bathroom. I had to get out of class, because I don't think my teacher would have liked to see me turning red in the face." Hilde gave a soft laugh.
"Yeah, well you be careful, Shy-by. I don't want your teachers thinking you're crazy or anything...not that they would. You're too perfect." Hilde laughed, as she turned away from the group. She never noticed the boys shooting strange looks at her, nor Bailey's worried glances.
"I'm not perfect."
"At times you are. I just wish you were here to sing to me. I need that right now." She mumbled lowly. She could almost hear Hilde smiling on the other end.
"I'll sing to you at Christmas...or whenever you call and you are alone." Her sister stated. It was then that Heidi remembered where she was. She turned with a glare and met Hiro's worried brown eyes; her glare disappeared and she nearly melted into a puddle of embarrassment.
"Look, I have to go. Call you later, all right?"
"Fine. I love you, Heidi."
"Love you, too." Heidi said, hanging up the phone and sticking it back into her bag.
"OH! Who's your lover boy?" Kojii asked, his voice simpering. Heidi smirked.
"Who said it was a boy?"
"SICK! YOU'RE GAY?" He shouted, reeling away from her. She and Bailey began to laugh hysterically.
"Who said that it was my 'lover'? It could have been a family member." She reminded him with a sneer. Kojii crossed his arms.
"Then...who was it?" He asked. She rolled her eyes.
"You, Li, are the reason gorillas reproduce slowly. Now scuttle out of my way." She snapped. She was so worked up about Kojii, that she never noticed Hiro standing behind her, until she turned and rammed into his firmly built chest. For a moment, they both froze there, his hands caching hers to keep her from falling, and their eyes met.
"Who was it, Heidi?" He finally asked softly, something near jealousy rising in his chest. Heidi worked to keep from blushing.
"It was...um..."
"Her brother. It was Yuki." Bailey cut in.
"You have a brother?" Kojii asked, his eyes widening slightly. Heidi nodded.
"Yeah, what of it? Now, if you'll move your big butt, I'd like to make it to my first class on time." She snapped, pulling away from Hiro and brushing past Kojii on her way. Bailey shot them all a slightly apologetic look, and then quickly followed.
"That was odd." Kojii commented, watching their backs. Hiro simply stared after them, his eyes narrowed in thought.

"You, Li, are the reason gorillas reproduce slowly. Now scuttle out of my way." She snapped. She was so worked up about Kojii, that she never noticed Hiro standing behind her, until she turned and rammed into his firmly built chest. For a moment, they both froze there, his hands caching hers to keep her from falling, and their eyes met.
"Who was it, Heidi?" He finally asked softly, something near jealousy rising in his chest. Heidi worked to keep from blushing.
"It was...um..."
"Her brother. It was Yuki." Bailey cut in.
"You have a brother?" Kojii asked, his eyes widening slightly. Heidi nodded.
"Yeah, what of it? Now, if you'll move your big butt, I'd like to make it to my first class on time." She snapped, pulling away from Hiro and brushing past Kojii on her way. Bailey shot them all a slightly apologetic look, and then quickly followed.
"That was odd." Kojii commented, watching their backs. Hiro simply stared after them, his eyes narrowed in thought.
