If anyone ever told me that one day I will fall down a rabbit hole and end up in wonderland like Alice then I would scoff the comment off, but I never knew it will really happen to me. After all, wonderland was just a fairy tale.
The day before my finales had a very good weather. I took my work to the library and started my paper for English. On the way home, the warm sun rays shine down on me. However, a sudden gust raged by, causing the paper that I had just finished flying out of my grasp and into the air. Without a second thought, I followed the paper. It seemed strange for the wind to be strong enough to pick up a ten paged paper, but at that moment I didn't think much about it. As I saw it plummeted into the sewage in the construction site, as the cover of the sewage was removed. Even though I really didn't want to go down there, but with only a hint of hope that all my work was still salvageable I jumped down. As far as I was concern, these events were probable not impossible; thus, they still could be considered normal. Yet, afterwards should be impossible.
I didn't have any recognitions of falling asleep, but when I had opened my eyes, I was faced with an unfamiliar ceiling and an unfamiliar room while lying down in an unfamiliar bed. Quickly, I ran to the full length mirror, thankfully my appearance didn't change much. However, my once dark brown eyes changed into a pair of ocean blue iris. My still black silky hair had grown to mid-back length with bangs parted to the left side reaching just above my eyes and framed my face. My body was what changed the most. My once light tan skin tone was now pale peach; I was much curvier and soft than I was before, but most importantly I looked like an anime girl!
"Tsuki~ you up yet?" Someone, a male, called out while opening the door. "You need to be ready for school." He was lanky guy with wavy long green hair with red highlights. One name popped up in my mind, Makishima Yuusuke.
Why am I seeing Makishima of Yowamushi Pedal, isn't he an anime character!? Or rather, why am I here and where am I!?
"Who are you and why am I here?" I had to get things across to him, and first I need some answers.
"Tsuki, you can't be seriously not known who I am or where you are can you?" Makishima ask, thinking I was joking. Upon seeing my very serious face, he narrowed his eyes. I could even see worry in them. "I am Makishima Yuusuke, your adopted older brother by a year. You have been living here since you were a year old. Did you have amnesia or something? Maybe we should go to the hospital and give you a checkup."
He didn't give me a choice and dragged me into to the car with him as a chauffeur opened the door for us. It wasn't long for us to reach the hospital. Throughout the checkup, I was off in my own thoughts.
How did I end up in Yowamushi Pedal, I was just getting my paper from the sewer. Now I became the adopted sister of Makishima, is it because I lost memory and thought the real world as reality or it is I am now inhabiting "Tsuki"'s body? I wonder if I will ever go back to the real world. The only thing I know is to act as amnesic to avoid any questions from Makishima, I will have to act as if I am born in this world in case if I never find a way to return to reality. First I need to get used to call Makishima as Yuusuke-nii or Yuu-nii.
It turned out that the doctors couldn't find anything wrong with me, but still advice my "brother" –the word sound so foreign in my mouth for I was the only child before coming into this universe- that the loss of memory might be permanent. With solemn atmosphere emitted by Yuu-nii at the 'heavy loss', we returned to our home. Sitting in the soft sofa by the fireplace, the housekeeper brought us some iced coffee as we begin to decide what to do in my circumstance.
"The school term is about to begin, I am thinking of enrolling you into either Sohoku High School that I am in or Hakone Academy Private High School that our friend Toudou Jinpachi is in. Before you have amnesia, you already passed the entrance exam for Hakone and you promised Jinpachi to go to his school. I think he missed you and might also help you recover from these ordeals. However, you will continue to live at home." Jinpachi was one of my favorites character from Yowamushi Pedal, actually a lot of characters from Hakone were my favorites; so it wasn't much of a loss to go to Hakone.
"Thank you, Yuu-nii, for worrying about me, but I will continue with my plan to enroll in Hakone." I reached over and wrapped my arms around him. "Even though I might not remember many things, but I will still be your baby sister."
Drip drip drip…
I felt his tears fall on my shoulders. I wished I could comfort him, or rather I wished I was really his sister so none of this act will ever hurt him. But I will make sure I will be the best sister I could be for him, not letting him feel like this ever again.
