A simple story I thought up, based on the Higurashi visual novel. Might continue it later on.
"I want you to...take care of her…" the voice on the telephone said. My heart stopped beating, the world around me stopped moving. All I could see was her, the girl I was supposed to take care of. She was short, blonde, she wore a green dress, with black stockings. She was peppy and obnoxious, I felt the hate swell up in my heart, it's her damn fault I'm even having this conversation in the first place!
"…Mion? You there?" His voice snapped me out of my stupefaction. His voice sounded hurt, I considered answering him, but I stood quiet, hoping he would change the subject. He let out a sigh, and before he spoke, I hastily said, "…y-yeah…I'll…take care of her."
My response seems to have surprised him, he sounds flabbergasted, "R-really? That's great Mion! I'll leave her to you then…" Mion. The more he says that name the more my heart aches. I'm not Mion, but I have to pretend to be her. I feel like telling him who I really am, but I'd be in a lot of trouble if I did, so I ignore what my heart says and go on with the act.
"Y-yeah, so…I'll see you tomorrow Satoshi, good night." I hang up before he has a chance to tell me goodnight as well. I put the phone down and just drop myself on the floor. My thoughts rush around in what can only be described as brain vomit. I sigh and roll around on the floor, grabbing my head. After sorting out my thoughts I pick up the phone and dial a number.
"Hello?" The voice on the other end says, it sounds young but I can't be certain. I press my index finger on my throat and speak, "Is Sonozaki Mion home?"
"Speaking." she says with a confused tone. I let out a sigh.
"Oh thank god, Mi, it's me, Shion."
Once I mention who I am, she starts speaking a bunch of angry gibberish before finally saying, "Jesus christ what is wrong with you! You can't call this house at this time damnit! Grandma could've picked up you idiot!"
I let out a small laugh, "You're such an overprotective sister, thank god you're not Dad otherwise I'd never be able to get a boy, ha ha ha."
She lets out a long sigh, "Jesus Shion, seriously you can NOT call her so recklessly! If Grandma finds out…"
"I know dearest sister, I know, heh heh heh."
"Okay, so why'd you call?"
"Well….dearest sister, my favorite sister, so pretty sister, I need a favor."
"Oh goddamnit, what do you need?"
"Well, I need you to let me be you a for a bit more."
"How long Shi."
"Well, I don't really know…"
"We can't keep doing this Shion, if you get caught not only will you be in trouble, I'll also be in-"
"I won't get caught, simple as that."
"How can you know that?"
"'Cause, I just do silly."
"…alright Shion, but JUST for a while…I don't want to risk getting caught y'know."
"Thank you sister, my bestest sister, my prettiest sis-"
"Hah, can it Shion, I'll see you later, I think Grandma's waking up, bye."
I hung up the phone once again and dropped myself to the ground. I let out a sigh of relief. I thought to myself, "I have to pretend to be someone I'm not, like someone I hate, just for a chance to see the boy I like for a few seconds…a wonderful life you have Sonozaki Shion."
I grabbed a pillow from my bed and plopped it on the floor, then I lay down on it and fell asleep, I have a lot to do tomorrow and I sure as hell need all the rest I can get.
