What I am writing another piece what a world.
Full Summary: Shion is the heir to her family's successful company and vast fortune but she's bored and wants a vacation from all the fancy dinners and handshaking but she can't just leave her duties behind. So what does she do? Well find a twin of course! Hinata has lived in an orphanage all her life and after they announce they can no longer support her she has no choice but to accept the job of being Shions doppelganger. But the job is not without risks not only must she keep her identity a secret, but what will she do about her developing feelings for Shion's fiancé. As well as dealing with the mysterious son of a promenade family whose eyes have fallen on her and he is bent on having her be his whether she wants to or not. Will Hinata be able to survive the 3 months as Shion's double or will she be discovered?
Hinata stood in the middle of the street looking down both sides. The sun was barely starting to peak over the buildings casting its dim light across the city. 'At least they let me go early in the morning', she looked behind her at the orphanage its large cast iron gate looming over her. For years she had wished to have been on the other side but now that she was she wanted nothing more than to run back inside its safe walls.
She was lucky to have stayed as long as she had, most orphanages kicked you at on you 18th birthday luckily she was allowed to stay 3 more months as long as she gave her meager paycheck to them. But after she lost her job she no longer had anything motivating them to keep her there so she got the boot. But she had be allowed to spend one last night with them. Some of the younger kids cried for her wishing for her not to leave, even some of the older kids that grew up with her had teary eyes but it was an inevitable faith that she must leave.
The only thing in her possession was a small backpack with 2 changes of clothes, her toothbrush and maybe 50 dollars, her entire life savings tucked inside her worn running shoes that happened to be a size too big. She was dressed in an oversized t-shirt and old cotton shorts that came down to her knees. Her long dark hair flowed around her as a cold morning breeze hit her. She pushed her bangs away from her eyes. She could not remember the last time she had a haircut but her bangs now hung over her eyes keeping most of her face hidden. She looked down at her shoes and poked her toes together. 'I must be quite the sight'
She looked down the street pointing to the only place she knew she could go to think. Squeezing the sleeve of her backpack she took her first step towards an uncertain future.

Sitting on a bench at the main park of the city she looked up at the clouds passing over head. The sky now a bright blue as the sun had risen and a warm glow filled her. This had always been her favorite spot in the world for a few precious moments she could forget all about her life. She was no longer a homeless, jobless orphan she was just a young girl enjoying the day. She sighed and looked down at her hands.
"So what now?" She whispered.
Suddenly a number of female screams caught her attention. She saw a crowd surrounding a tall man. "A celebrity?" She did not want to get caught in a mob so she stood up and started walking away. Not really looking where she was going (and her bangs covering where she was going) she bumped into someone who spilled their soft drink all over her.
"Hey watch where you're going!" A blonde female yelled and grumbled over her spilled drink. Hinata panic as she looked to be a lady of substantial wealth if the top brand blouse did not give it away then the large diamond ring on her ring finger really gave it away. Biting her finger and bracing herself she waited for the insult or physical hit to happen.
"Aww come on Shion you should be nicer you're the one who spilled your drink all over her" A deeper voice answered. Hinata looked behind her and saw the crowd was now nearing her as a tall, blond male approached them smiling widely.
"I'm sorry", Hinata turned to run she did not want to get caught up in some weird situation. Just as she ran by Shion caught a glimpse of her face as her hair flew by. Her eyes widen in surprise as she watched her run away from them.
Shion turned to look at her bodyguard "Taruho you saw that didn't you?"
Taruho adjusted his glasses and watched the shabby girl run away, "you mean her face? Yes I did why do you ask?"
"I think I found just what I was looking for." Shion smiled wickedly as she cast her eyes on the retreating dark figure. "Find her and bring her to me". Taruho nodded adjusting his glasses one again and quickly walked away from her.
"Bring who to you" Shion turned to see her fiancé had finally caught up to them.
"Oh nothing just asking Taruho to find that girl so I can pay for her shirt" She smiled at him and he smiled back at her. She hooked her arm around his "so where are we going now".
"I don't know let's just walk around and see what we can find". Shion walked happily with her fiancé she finally had a reason to look forward to going home.
Hinata ran into the public bathroom of the park and quickly locked herself in a stall. She pulled off her shirt and let it hang on the hook of the door. She tugged at her bra which was also soaked but sighed as she had no other to replace it. Digging through her backpack she grabbed another t shirt. She slipped it on and walked out to the sink and started running water over her sticky shirt trying to run the soda out of it. Once satisfied she rung her t-shirt out and grabbed some paper towels she held them under the running water and commenced to wipe her stomach trying her best to get rid of the sticky liquid that was drying on her.
"Hey are you some sort of bum that's for washing hands not sink showers!" Hinata looked over to see an elderly women glared at her. She quickly grabbed her bag and ran out the bathroom.
'It seems I am running away a lot today' She held her wet t-shirt and wondered how she was going to dry it. She walked around the bathroom building and was confronted with a brown haired man with a pair of red glasses. Sensing danger she turned to leave in the other direction but he blocked her path. "Mam I am in need of your services"
"What?" She eyed the man up and down, he did not look all that menacing but she had learned better than to trust people appearances.
"I can tell you are in need of money, my boss saw your face earlier and has requested to see you."
Hinata's heart dropped she knew this was going to become an option the minute she stepped out on the street. She had always feared going into this dark road of having to sell her body to make ends meet but it was only her first day on the streets she was not ready to give up that easily that road was a last resort. "I-im sorry but I don't do those things"
"No no it's not what you think my boss does not need your for that. She wishes to offer you a job."
Hearing that the man's boss was a female did relive her a bit but she was still too suspicious of the situation. Jobs don't just fall from the sky this was all too convenient to be true.
"I can understand your suspicions mam as this does seem to be very sudden but please understand that no harm will come to you. And if you need further convincing" The man reached towards his back and pulled out a dark object.
Hinata's eyes widen in shock as she saw the familiar shape of a gun. Petrified she watched as he moved it forward towards her unsure of what to do anymore she raised her arms protectively and closed her eyes, braced her body for the worst. But instead of a bullet piercing her heart she felt the cold metal against her arm. Cautiously she opened one eye to see the gun being handed to her the handle in her direction.
"You may have this as an added insurance to know nothing will happen to you." Hinata started at the gun but did not reach for it then looked back up at the man his eyes much closer now. They were kind eyes.
"Ok I'll go with you"
Hinata now sat in what was the most luxurious room she has ever been in. The man had introduced himself as Taruho. She did get suspicious again when they pulled up to the Miroku Hotel one of the most expensive hotels in the city. But he had assured her once again that it was not a matter of selling her body and had said that her appearance made her perfect for a job that his boss was in desperate need of. She fidgeted in the room not knowing what to do. She kind of wanted to just take what she could of value and run but her curiosity over what Taruho's boss wanted with her kept her in the room. Finally the door opened and a young women stepped in that looked to be about her age. It actually surprised her how much they looked in common, just a hair dye away and they could be twins.
Shion walked in and carried herself with so much confidence and strength Hinata felt a bit intimidated in her presence. "Hello I am Shion heiress to the Miroku fortune and you are?"
Hinata stood up and bowed her head, "I am Hinata"
"Hinata?" Shion held out her hand expecting more to her name.
"I don't have a last name, I am a-"
"Enough" Shion cut her off "let's cut to the chase since I really have no need for your life story."Shion walked towards her and Hinata was surprised when she pulled her bangs away from her face and stared intently at her. Her dark lavender eyes staring intently at her much lighter eyes."Yup my eyes did not lie you can definitely pass for my twin."
"What?" Hinata brushed her bangs as Shion walked away from her.
"Ok here is the deal Hilata."
"It's Hinata"
Shion rolled her eyes "whatever, I am tired of my annoying life, having to constantly attend banquets and shows is really getting on my nerves and I can't just leave my life so that is where you come in." Shion snapped her fingers and Taruho handed her a blonde wig. "I want to go on vacation for 3 months and I want you to stay here in my place pretending to be me."
"What? but how could I pull off such an act I don't know anything about you or what I would do. And I am no actress I would-"
Once again cutting her off, "don't worry Taruho here will take care of everything and make sure you are my perfect double. I do not doubt his skills and I know that even if we do look alike. Although I am much better looking, you will have to do for now. My parents are leaving the country for 3 months and this is my only chance to get some freedom. So what do you say will you accept the job?"
"I don't know this all sounds so complicated and I am not sure I would be very good at it."
"I am willing to pay you a great reward when I come back, more than enough that you would probably live pretty comfortably for a while without working. At the very least you would be able to afford some actual clothes."
Hinata looked down at her ratty clothes and weighed her options. Well lack of options she was just sitting in the park wondering how she would survive and now this golden opportunity falls from the sky and she was not ready to jump on it. One side of her mind was telling her to run, that this was too good to be true. But another side was telling her to take the job. She stayed silent for a few seconds before took a deep breath.
"I'll do it" she said as she squeezed the end of her shorts.
"Perfect!" Shion handed her the wig went into another room only to come out a few seconds later with 5 bags of luggage. "Taruho make sure everything else is at the villa by the time I arrive."
"I will mam good luck" Taruho bowed as she passed him.
"I am counting on you, Hirara a few things you should know."
Hinata squirmed at her once again missed name.
" I got a fiancé, there is some banquet coming up nothing major,Taruho will be reporting to me anything that pops up and if you try to run away" At this Shion stopped and turned to face her. "I will find you and I will end you", she gave Hinata a look that made her shiver in fear and then she broke back into a smile pulling down some designer sunglasses over her eyes. "Ok I'll see you", and with that she ran out the door.
Silence filled the room as Hinata and Taruho stood still. Hinata half wondered if Shion had actually just been there or she had just imaged the whole encounter. Taruho cleared his throat and broke the silence.
"Ms. Hinata I am sure this may all seem very confusing but just understand that that is how Lady Shion operates. The world must adjust to her not the other way around."
"oh…ok"
"Now then before anything can start we have to get a fun thing out of the way." Taruho walked across the room to a table where a black briefcase lay. Opening it he pulled out a few pieces of paper along with a pen. "This will be your work contract". He held up a small stack of papers stapled together.
Hinata approached the table and took the packet and began scanning through the text. It seemed to be your basic contract. Her duties were outlined along with a lengthy piece talking about how they would not be held accountable for any troubles that could ensue in this arrangement. She flipped through it and found the last page containing the information about what she would do after she was paid. Reading she paused at a word.
"I am too disappeared?"
"Not entirely. According to this once you are paid all documentation about this agreement will be disposed of and you are to no longer get into contact with Lady Shion. You will in a sense disappeared to her. This agreement will insure nothing you say will ever link back to this situation. It is all just standard protocol in case….something should happen."
"oh….."
"Do not worry Ms. Hinata we do not mean to do you any harm we are just taking some precautions."
"Yes I understand."
"Ok well if you could just sign on the dotted line" Taruho held out the pen for her and Hinata stared at it for a moment before taking it in her hand. She could feel her heart beat speed up as she turned to face the paper and bent down to sign it. The pen touched the paper just above the dotted line and once again hesitation creeped up inside her. But she shook her head and signed her name. Taruho quickly took the document from her and placed it back in the briefcase.
"Let's begin then"

Down at the entrance of the building a car pulled up to the valet attendant. Stepping out a tall, white haired male handed the keys to an eager attendant.
"Mister Toneri it is a pleasure to have you back in town". The young man turned to see the concierge approaching him. "How long are you in town?"
Putting on a fake smile he greeted the man. "Yes I will be in town for a few months so if you could make my usual arrangements I would very much appreciate that."
"Of course, of course come this way"
Just as he was about to follow him he saw a familiar figure walking out a side entrance. Shion stepped out her phone in her ear, "make sure the plane is ready by the time I get there…..yes I know its short notice just get it done". Ignoring her presence he continued on in to the building.
'Such an unlikable girl', he glanced up at the windows of the colossal building. 'I wonder if I will ever met a women that suits my needs' a cloud cast a large shadow over him as he walked forward. 'And my desires'.
