Chapter one- The twins

Making my way down the long crowded hallway, I kept my books close to my chest looking around all the time...just trying not to bump into anyone and I slowly made my way around them. Once glance at the clock sped me up though, two minutes to get to class.

I spun around on my heel to take another hall way, hoping for a less crowded corridor. With a loud thud my slender form smacked against the hall floor. I groaned rubbing the back of my head as I stared up.

"Hikaru" I scowled up at my twin.

We looked alike, so alike in fact that our own mother couldn't tell the difference. Still we were opposite people. Like the North and South poles or day and night.

Hikaru's love for the opposite gender is nonexistent where as I have no interest in men. I stand a straight A student and my twin was lucky to get a C-.

We hated each other and had for a very long time. In all honesty when only spoke when he bugged me for help with his homework.

I gathered my books into my arms and got to class as fast as I could. Once I got to my desk I realized the teacher was passing back a test we'd taken last week. "Excellent Kaoru, you got the only A in the class"

All around me the class reacted like they usually did, with harsh whispers of meaningless words like smart ass, freak, weirdo. nerd, teachers pet. Over time I'd learned to ignore them.

After a long lecture on Napoleon the bell finally chimed to release us from class.

Passing the office I heard the principal lecturing my twin once again, for nearly the third time this week. I wanted no part of what Hikaru had pulled this time so I kept walking, picking up my pace when I heard my twin's foot steps following mine.

I made a break for my bike, sprinting as fast as I could. Of course I had the option of a limo but that also meant having to ride with my brother. Lately anytime spent around him had been awkward. So I avoided it at any cost.

Hikaru's hand caught the handle of my bike, keeping me from going anywhere.

"Please Hikaru just let me go home" I groaned

He had to have found my irritation funny because he decided to test it, He snickered "And if I dont?"

"HIKARU" I whined.

"Awe come on" He smirked.

"Hikaru Hitachiin stop it now" I hissed with a slight blush.

Also I'm much, much shyer then Hikaru.

He calls me a blushing mess because I am one.

When we were kids Hikaru and I were pretty close but when mom died it changed.

He changed and I guess I did to.

"Come on Kao-Kao…..it's Ru-Ru" he chuckled at our old nick names.

I ended up walking home that day. As soon as I walked through the door Dad was lecturing Hikaru the way the principal had been earlier. I shrugged and made my way up stairs to do my homework.

His grades were probably slipping again, That was my best guess. Then again I didn't care.
