My Twin, the Monster
Prologue
The large school stood high on the street, even larger did it seem to the young three year old who stood at the entrance.
She gazed up with wonder at the building, praying that she had the right place. After all, she had sneaked away from her nanny to get here. She hoped she was here at the right time as well, she was still very young so she couldn't quite tell the time. All she knew was the sun was up.
The small girl walked onto the school grounds, her little legs caused her to take a while getting into the building. Even longer to climb the stairs and head towards the room. She heard that the people in that room would help her. They had helped her neighbour after all.
The girl looked up at the sign, whilst she couldn't read most of it she could make out the word three . The girl struggled to reach the handles and had to jump for it, she pushed the doors open and peeked her head through the gap.
There were people in there alright, a large number it would seem. Seven boys were mostly speaking with each other being rather loud, all dressed in the same attire. They were seemingly unaware of their new visitor.
"Um..." The girl muttered her confidence wasn't very high as they all looked to be way older than herself. She was almost intimidated until she saw a boy who couldn't have looked to be a few years older than herself.
"Excuse me." The young girl said a little louder than before, her speech surprisingly articulate for her age. The occupants of the room almost jumped in surprise and looked towards the door.
"It's...a little girl?" The brown haired one said, slightly dumbfounded. The voice had rather reminded them of their last young visitor Kirimi, but they visibly looked rather different.
The taller blonde one was the first to greet the visitor. He held out a white rose to the three year old, and crouched down to her level. "Hello there, little one. May I ask what you're doing here?"
The young girl was startled a little at his sudden closeness, but perked up greatly when given the rose. The girl loved flowers very much, so was very happy with the gift. She took the rose, and held it close to her.
"I'm looking for...the Host...club?" The girl said slowly trying to mentally make sure she had that correct. When she knew that was what her neighbour told her, she nodded making sure they knew that was indeed what she was looking for.
"Well, little one you've found us. My name is Tamaki, what's yours?"
"I'm Aiko! Aiko Shiba!" She smiled, glad she had found her way so easily.
"Well, Aiko-chan would you like to come in for some cake and some juice?"
"Yes please, Mister!"
The hosts looked at the girl with curiosity blazing in their eyes. It wasn't everyday they had such a young guest. Tamaki lead Aiko towards a couch in the middle of the room and urged her to sit down. The girl did as she was told, looking around with much curiosity.
The brown haired host walked forwards, and introduced themselves. "Hi there Aiko-chan, my name is Haruhi."
"Hi there, Mr. Haruhi! Nice to meet you." She grinned brightly at the boy. "Are you part of the Host Club as well as Mr. Tamaki?"
"Yes I am, can I sit with you?"
"Yes, sir."
"Hi there, Aiko-chan!" The small blond came forwards, jumping onto the sofa opposite. "My name is Hani! This is my friend, Mori. And that's Kao-chan, Hika-chan and Kyo-chan!"
"Nice to meet you all!" The girl beamed, looking at Hani with interest. She gasped when she saw the little plush pink rabbit in his arms. "Your bunny is so cute!"
"Thank you! This is Usa-chan!" Hani giggled, holding his bunny out to show the young girl. "We were just wondering Aiko-chan, what are you doing here?"
"I was wondering if you could help me." Aiko replied, her tone suddenly becoming a little bit sadder as she looked to her feet. She had come here with a purpose, she had easily forgotten it and felt bad that she had.
"What's your problem, little one?" Tamaki asked, seating himself on the other side of the girl.
"It's...It's my sisters. They keep fighting with each other. My nanny Chikako says that they used to be really close, but now they can't stand being in the same room as each other. They've just come home, but they keep wanting to leave..." Aiko explained, her eyes not leaving her feet. "I just want them to be happy with each other, because I love them both very much."
Tamaki couldn't help himself and was in tears just hearing the story, Haruhi couldn't help but feel sorry for the girl, the twins were also tearing up and Hani couldn't help but want to hug the girl. Kyoya had paused in his typing to listen, before turning to look up the Shiba family. Mori wanted to give her cake as he usually would do to help cheer up Hani.
"That's—! So sad! Don't worry, Aiko-chan. We'll help you out!" Tamaki cried, holding the little girl's hand, with a smile.
The girl's sad expression suddenly melted away in place of a large grin. She leaped up and hugged Tamaki, before going around and hugging all the rest of the hosts. Including Kyoya, who hesitantly accepted the hug.
"What's your sisters' names, Aiko-chan?" Haruhi asked, kneeling down to be at her level.
"Kasumi and Kasuko Shiba."
Chapter One
The Sisters
Kasumi's morning did not go well.
She quite enjoyed her mornings usually. She rose early, had a cup of coffee or tea whilst reading the morning paper, never one for eating breakfast she would head over to her classes with the other girls who lived in her dorm. Being in a private boarding school, her classes were rather tailored to suit each student so she never felt lost for long when learning.
All in all, she loved being in a warm environment where both the grounds and the students around her were more than friendly. She had chose to go here three years ago, and wouldn't ask for anything more.
But when an employee of her parents' came with a limo to escort her home, her usually good morning turned sour in an instant.
Not that she hated Tokyo, she rather liked it if she was being honest. She was looking forwards to meeting her little sister in person for the first time, talking only via video chat was rather irritating when all she wanted to do was hug the girl. The one thing that destroyed all hope of it being a good day, was the fact she was informed her twin would be joining her back home as well.
Her blood boiled at the thought, she would have no say in the matter as usual. Though she knew it would do no good to stew in anger for the whole two hour drive, she could not help it. She had been apart from her sister for the last two years which worked out well for both of them. Reuniting once again would only cause hot tempers and fights.
Most of all, Kasumi would hate to be away from her friends. She had made many close friends, but considered only two to be her bestest friends. She wanted to yell at her parents for making her leave them behind, without even a proper goodbye.
Kasuko on the other hand, was also having a more than miserable morning.
She had been drinking the earlier night, though she was vastly underage she was without adult supervision in the South. She was staying with her best friend in her brother's house. Kasuko would label herself as a delinquent should she be forced to, never attending school, underaged drinking and being destructive of public property.
Kasuko had left her sister at that damn school, she had hated so very much, and ran off with her best friend. She felt free away from her family, free to do whatever she liked. All the while, she would hang out with her closest friends and her boyfriend.
She was upset she hadn't met her littlest sister yet, and was not there whilst she was a baby. She blamed being at the boarding school for that one, but could only blame her sister for the rest of the time.
Kasuko felt betrayed when she was woken at the ungodly hour of seven in the morning to be taken back home. She had only been asleep for an hour at that time, and was still slightly drunk fighting off a hangover. The two hour flight was near the bottom of the list of what she wanted to do.
When told she was going to see her sister once again, she actually leaped out of the limo that had been in movement at the time. Though she was dragged back in by her driver, she wanted to scream.
She was taken away from her friends whilst they were still passed out, making her beyond livid on top of that. She knew what she would do the moment she came home, she had a fist with her sister's name on it for her.
The two arrived at the Shiba household at exactly the same time. And as promised, Kasuko lunged forwards punching her twin right in the face.
Immediately Kasumi looked to her twin with fire burning in her eyes, a hand covering her cheek. "How dare you!" She cried.
"How dare you!" Kasuko screeched in return. "I was having a pretty damn good time down with my best friend. If you didn't know, I have a boyfriend! Whatever you did, you fucked me over!"
"I did absolutely nothing!" Kasumi defended, poking her twin in the shoulder. "I was beyond happy living in that school. I lived with my best friends, studying what I love! If anyone did anything, it would be you!"
"Onee-chan!" A young voice called through the air, silencing the pair. They looked towards the source of the voice, and there stood their little brunette sister. Her shoulder length hair, falling over her left eye as she ran towards the two. She ran forwards hugging her older sisters' legs, happy that she finally met them.
"Kasumi! Kasuko! I love you both, welcome home!" She grinned, completely oblivious to the fact her sisters were just fighting. She hugged them both tighter, and the two who had been fighting could only look down at their sister in surprise.
Aiko released the two of them, and grabbed their hands leading them inside. Chattering all the way.
Kasumi and Kasuko could only give the other menacing glares, resolving not to fight in front of Aiko.
The child led the twins to the living room, where they were surprised to see their parents sitting there waiting for them to arrive.
"Kasumi, Kasuko. So nice for you to finally join us." Their father spoke up, his face neutral, showing no emotions.
"Aiko, go with Chikako whilst we talk to your sisters, okay?" Their mother said, addressing the youngest. She never was very motherly, opting to assign her children nannies rather than tend to them herself.
"But I wanna stay with my onee-chans." She complained, her face almost immediately overcome with sadness.
"Aiko, do as you're told. We have to have an important talk with them."
"Okay then, mama." Aiko said sadly, reluctantly letting go of her sisters' hands moving towards the tall Japanese woman. The twins couldn't help but be reluctant also.
Kasuko sighed, folding her arms. She had long since sobered up, but was still feeling the effects of a powerful hangover. She hadn't the patience to be lectured by her parents, for a range of things she knew they would hate. The main one being her hair. They were beyond approving of her purple hair, nor would they approve of the shaved left side. She liked it this way, she wouldn't ever be considered her sister's twin if they were in the same room.
Kasumi sighed as well, completely fed up with being around her parents already. She didn't want to be ordered around, nor did she want to see her sister get away with everything. She prayed that they wouldn't make Kasuko change her hair, if it were similar to her own chin length caramel blonde hair, she would scream.
"Girls." Their father warned with a stern tone of voice, he moved his head to point towards the couch opposite them. He wasn't known for his patience, the fact that the man had put up with waiting so far was rather unusual.
The twins knew that it would not be wise to stall. With a quick glare of hatred to each other, they stepped forwards and sat on either end of the couch they were urged to sit on.
"Why are we back in Tokyo?" Kasumi spoke up first, her voice filled with restrained anger. If she was arrogant, she would say that she spoke up as she knew her parents would answer her. After all they refused to leave her alone.
"Quite simply put, we were getting tired of your ridiculous requests." Ayame Shiba spoke, her voice stern and fed up. Her children rarely followed her requests, and quite frankly she was completely done with it.
"Kasumi needs to be closer to the family business, and I can't handle the amount of covering up the family has to deal with whilst Kasuko runs rampant in South Japan." Ren Shiba explained, his stare could easily be described as a glare.
Kasumi looked at her hands, gripping at her skirt with anger. She had assumed as much, but she felt she was better studying at her boarding school where she hoped to come back in three more years.
Kasuko was enraged. Who cared about the Shiba family name? She spent the past three years trying as hard as she could to not be considered a Shiba, she couldn't care less how the world viewed the Shiba family. She wanted nothing more than to be left alone with her friends.
"What the fuck are we meant to do now then? Play fucking house here, whilst giving you a fucking break? Fuck that, I'm leaving on the first train out of here."
"Language, Kasuko!" Ayame chided her eldest. "Be more respectful to your parents!"
"You will both attend Ouran Academy, and attend to your schedules we will provide. There will be a curfew of eight, and you will maintain nothing less than an A average in classes. This is not up for debate."
"May I ask what our punishments will be if we deviate from these schedules?" Kasumi asked, her jaw locked tight. She fought not to launch forwards and slap her parents' neutral expressions right of their faces.
"You will be stripped of all privileges you have in this house. Now go to your rooms, where you will find your things." Ren dismissed them, his attention turning away from his daughters and towards the window.
Finding no other alternative, the twins left with anger coursing through their veins.
Oh man, I didn't actually think I was going to be uploading a new story. I kinda promised myself I would at least finish one of my ongoing stories first, but I failed on that front oops. Writer's block, what can I say? Either way, I hope you enjoy this story. I won't beg for reviews, but it really does help inspire me! This has been a experimental fic in my folders for a while now, I finally decided to write it out xD
As for pairings and such, I don't particularly have an idea for that. My original plan is to not involve pairings but if people have any ideas then leave them in a review, if enough people are in the majority, I might consider it~ as long as it's not the twins. I have too many OCs paired with them in my folder, so minor characters would probably be preferred. But as I said, it's only if people want them.
I have no idea when I'm going to update, but I hope it's soon. I hate leaving updates for months sometimes even years, but writer's block is a huge bitch sometimes. Oh well. See you in the next chapter hopefully! Thanks for reading!
