Okay, so this is kinda...not really good. But I wanted to make a point with this story, that even though they are practically the same person they both are doing it for a reason - which almost all of you already know, probably. So I guess you can ignore the last few sentences. This is the only chapter BTW, in case anybody is wondering.
(Middle school, 2nd year)
"I'm sorry, I'm Kaoru," I said with a short nod. "You must have gotten our desks mixed up by mistake." The girl in front of me had a red blush splashed on her face. "But…if you don't mind, would you take me instead? I've liked you for quite some time and Hikaru likes another girl. So if you don't mine…"
The girl gave it just the smallest thought and nodded her head with a smile. Another disappointment. I turned to where Kaoru was hiding behind the bush.
"Hey, Kaoru, she said she'd take you too!"
"What?" the girl asked in surprise as my brother came out from behind the bush and meandered over to where we stood. "You're…Hikaru?"
I grinned at her like I had all the others.
"Hikaru you jerk!" she yelled, turning and running away from us. I didn't turn to my brother and he didn't turn to me. She was just another disappointment, no different from all of the other girls.
"Hm…" a voice said from behind a corner. We both turned our heads to a girl with long red hair, and a smile on her face. "You both are pretty cruel, aren't you?"
"Who are you?" we asked in unison, as we normally did.
"Daisuke Kirii," she said with a small bow. "And you would be the Hitachiin brothers that are oh so famous around campus." "What do you want?" Kaoru asked. I stayed silent. "A love confession perhaps?" "Don't make me smile," she grinned. She's already smiling, I thought.
"No, I've come to tell both of you to be more…kind. That isn't the right word, and I'm not sure what the word is. Kind is the best way to describe it though."
"What does it matter to you?" we asked. "You hurt my sister's feelings," she responded, twirling around once. "And I've come to tell you that it isn't right what you do to girls' hearts. We aren't just toys for you to play around with; we are human beings, the same as you are, no matter how alien you make yourselves."
"Go away if that's all you have to say."
"No. I want you to promise that you'll become nicer people. Because of what you two did, my dear sister demands we move, and that has destroyed my future. And it's all your fault."
We both grinned. "A promise is what you want?" I asked.
"Let us play a game then," Kaoru gripped my hand, and we twirled around a few times and bowed to her.
"I like games," she said with a shrug.
"The which-one-is-Hikaru-kun game!"
"Choose which one's right," I said, moving in a circle around the girl. "And we promise we'll be nice."
"But it doesn't matter," she said. We both froze. It didn't matter?
"What's that supposed to mean. You said you'd play."
"I am. But I'm telling you that it doesn't matter who is who."
"That's an insult," we said.
"No it isn't. If you really wanted people to know who was who then you would do something about it instead of becoming the same. Asking someone to tell the difference between the two of you is rude, actually. If you don't even care the difference, then why do you want other people to care?
"You both act so mighty around everybody else," she continued as I moved back to where my brother stood. "Why don't you accept that they should be the one's looking down on you? You're such aliens."
And then she turned and walked away from us with one last call of, "The one on the right is Kaoru-kun by the way."
She was wrong. Just like everybody else. But something touched me, when she called us that. Sure we have been called aliens before, but behind our backs. It was different when it was to our faces.
"It hurt," we said in unison.
Yay, I finished. Review. Please.
