Two So In Love with One
Disclaimer: I do not own Shugo Chara! If I did, Nadeshiko would've stayed as a female and she would've have had an older twin brother named Nagihiko.
Nadeshiko was almost done decorating the last part of the school. The GYM. The violet haired female looked over towards her partner. Tadase Hotori. His gorgeous pink eyes accompanied his blonde locks. Truth was, he was the best looking guy in the school. Everyone knew that. How could they not? He was kind, honest, sweet, generous, and very intelligent.
And he was staring at Nadeshiko. Fujisaki Nadeshiko. She caught his stare and smiled.
If only she knew what her smile did to Tadase. Her warm, innocent smile melted his heart. She was, beautiful to him. Her ivory skin, violet hair, sharp golden eyes. Her long hair being held by a red ribbon. A petite figure. She was stunning. Gorgeous. Amazing. Breath-taking. Pathetic wordes of charm to describe even her.
Nadeshiko was the most outstanding, positive, and sweetest girl Tadase has ever seen and met. He blushed and turned away quickly.
Aw man...I'm sure she saw me. Crap, what do I do if she DID see me blush. Grr....stupid Tadase! Your suppose to be a king! Kings aren't shy! Tadase's thoughts yelled at him. Unfourtunately for Tadase, Nadeshiko did catch his blush. And she was heading his way.
"Hotori-kun?" she asked as she continued to walk towards him. Tadase quickly shut his eyes. He could tell his face was as red as a tamato. "Are you alright? You don't look like your feeling well." she commented.
...huh?
"Uh....y-yeah." Tadase stuttered as he spoke. Just her presence was enough to make him faint. "I'm fine. Thank you for your concern." Nadeshiko only smiled. Again. Tadase bit his lower lip. It was the only thing he could do to keep his heart from exploding.
B-bmp...b-bmp...b-bmp...
Just to make sure that Tadase was feeling alright, she put her small and delicate hand on his forehead. Just check his temperature to make sure. Nadeshiko thought.
B-bmp..b-bmp..b-bmp..b-bmp.. went Tadase's heart. Could she not hear it!? Amazing...
"You seem to be heatin up Hotori-kun." said Nadeshiko, concerned.
"R-really....i-it's nothing. I'm fine." he replied. "But, there is one thing I want to ask you Fujisaki-san." Nadeshiko waited. Tadase sucked in a big breath.
Now or never... he thought. "Would you like to...."
RING! RING! RING! The bell had rung. School was over.
Crap.... thought Tadase
"I'm sorry. Can you tell me what you had to say tomorrow? I gotta go home." Nadeshiko apologized. Tadase stared at her dreamily.
"Yeah...alright..."he said in a dissapiontly way. I couldn't tell her.....I'm a foolish and cowardly king. Nadeshiko grabbed her red school bag and jogged out the door. Before she left, she turned her head around and waved good-bye.
"See you tomorrow Hotori-kun!" she yelled.
"Yeah!" he yelled back and smiled. He continued to smile until she was out of sight. Tadase let out a big sigh and sat on the GYM's floor. Now that I think about it....Fujisaki-san practically decorated the whole GYM herself. Tadase felt a frown forming on his face. And all I did was work on fixing that one orange ribbon for the Halloween dance that's in two weeks. I'm a REALLY pathetic king. Tadase sighed again. He knew he should have helped some more. But he was too busy looking at Nadeshiko. What could this fifteen year old kid do? He was the President of the Student Council and had fell in love with the Vice President. "I'll see you tomorrow.....Nadeshiko."
Tadase smiled. "Nadeshiko." he said again. What a pretty name. Her name sounded so beautiful. She was as beautiful as the Nadeshiko flower. No, even more beautiful. Tadase packed his stuff and locked the GYM doors before he left for home.
_____________________________________________________________________________
Nadeshiko had lied to Hotori Tadase. She didn't have to go home. Not yet anyways. Nadeshiko opened her locker and brang out a bag filled with clothes. She shoved her school bag inside and shut her locker closed.
I gotta hurry. I gotta hurry. He'll make fun of me if I am late. Nadeshiko thought. She approached the boys bathroom. She looked both ways to make sure no one was looking at her. The halls were empty. Perfect! Nadeshiko had thought. She rushed in and went in one of the stalls.
Well, one good thing, the boys bathroom was clean.
As Nadeshiko was changing, she couldn't help but feel guilty for lying to Tadase. Her heart raced when she lied.
Nadeshiko + lying = Nadeshiko feeling very guilty. But, Nadeshiko couldn't help herself. She HAD to play basketball with her other friend. She HAD too. She loved basketball. And she was good at it too. She loved going versus Kukai.
Yes. The Souma Kukai. No one else could compete with her. Not even the guys. Which was sad. Of course, no one at school knew she was good at basketball. Only Kukai knew she was good. The thing was though.
It was Nagihiko who Kukai thought was good. That's right. Nadeshiko dressed as a boy when she played. Everyone said that basketball was a BOYS game. And Nadeshiko's high school didn't have a girls basketball team. Her mother dissaproved of her playing anyways. Her Aunt thought it was weird. Her friends who were girls hated playing it. And she couldn't speak up when she heard boys talk about it. It killed Nadeshiko that she couldn't play as herself.
So, she disguised herself. Ever since she was a little girl, she had been playing basketball as a boy. And, it didn't hurt her. It was fun being able to play.
Nadeshiko exited the boys bathroom as a boy. Presenting Fujisaki Nagihiko. The older 'twin' of Nadeshiko. Oh, how different these two people were.
Nagihiko showed his sporty side. Nadeshiko hid hers from the world.
Nadeshiko showed her smart side. Nagihiko just wasn't....as smart as Nadeshiko.
Nagihiko showed much confidence. Nadeshiko just wasn't....as courageous as Nagihiko.
It was simple really. If Nadeshiko wasn't something, Nagihiko was. If Nagihiko wasn't something, Nadeshiko was. Two different people, characteristics, and personality. All inside their TRUE self.
Plain Fujisaki Nadeshiko. The mysterious Fujisaki Nagihiko wasn't even real. Nagihiko didn't really.....exist in the world. He existed inside Nadeshiko.
Nadeshiko finished her look by putting on a black beanie hat. She tied her long, violet hair in a low pony tail, using a blue hair tie. From her white blouse and red tie under her black sweater and plaided red mini skirt to black basketball shorts with three red stripes going down the sides. Shorts that had the 'adidas' logo in red on the bottom left of the black basketball shorts. And an extra large white tee shirt with a big black tee shirt ontop of it. From white socks that hugged her skin and long brown, tie-able boots to loose white socks and black adida shoes with two red lines going down the sides.
Here was your Fujisaki Nagihiko. A fake, a fraud. The 'fake' Nadeshiko smiled. She put her uniform inside the bag and took off to the meeting spot. Her favorite spot.
The basketball court.
______________________________________________________________________________
"Yo Nagihiko....you're early." said an auburn hair colored boy. He looked to be around fifteen years old. And tan skin. He had piercings in his ears and a gorgeuos shade of green eyes. He wore a cool smile. A smile that his fangirls would swoon over. Just, not Nadeshiko. But he didn't know that.
"Idiot!" snapped the other brunette, disguising her voice. "It took you long enough! I was beginning to think you'd back down."
"Shut up!" snapped the other boy. Here, is your Souma Kukai. He went to the same school as Nadeshiko. He was the best at sports. He dedicated himself to it. Sure, he was talented and gifted to play sports since he was a little boy, but that didn't stop him from working hard. He wanted to be the best. And in his school...
He IS.
"Whatever! C'mon! Just pass the ball! I don't have all day you know!" shouted 'Nagihiko'
"Why NOT!? This is basketball!" said Kukai with a burning passion he had for all sports. Kukai thought for a moment. "Oh yeah. Your a Fujisaki. You gotta go dance.......in a kimono." Kukai snickered. "And you gotta be there for her too, huh?" Kukai said with distaste.
"I can't be late for my little sister." said Nadeshiko as Nagihiko. If I am late...it won't be a fun consequence. Nadeshiko thought to herself. "Pass the ball!" she shouted as Nagihiko in a demanding voice. A grin formed on Kukai's face as he passed the ball.
Game on! The kitchen timer started.
Kukai was glad he was the best of friends with Nagihiko. He was the only worthy competitor who could even compete with Kukai. Everyone in his school...wasn't even near as good as Kukai. The guys were ok. Kukai had to go easy on them. The girls in his school just plain sucked. Ew....worthless girls were in sports.
But, not Nagihiko. Oh no. These two became friends ever since they were little. They met when they where six. The moment they challenged each other, they were the best of friends anyone could ask for. They had a bond. A special one....at least in Kukai's opinion. It was thanks to finding Nagihiko that Kukai wanted to excel in sports. He used to think he was the best. Until he found Nagihiko.
And lost. That one lost made Kukai determined to be better, At a young age, he knew that you can be born with a talent. But if you don't work hard on your talent, the talent would fade away and you would meet someone else who was better.
Time had passed and the timer was going to go off soon. They were tied.
Zero to zero.
Neither could get the ball into the hoop. Because neither one of them would let the other score in their basket. Both players were panting hard.
"You're good." complimented Kukai.
"Same to you." replied 'Nadeshiko.' Both were glad to be aknowledged by the other. It let Kukai know he was getting better if Nagihiko thought that.
It let Nadeshiko know she was good enough to be able to compete with her school's star player.
Bounce. Bounce. Bounce. Bounce.
Kukai was dribbling the basketball. At full speed, he dribbled that ball and jumped high on the one point line.
He shot the ball and.....
Swoosh!
The game had ended. Kukai had won by the time the timer went off. Or so he imagined. As Kukai jumped on the one point line, Nagihiko (or rather, Nadeshiko) jumped higher. Higher than Kukai.
The Kukai. The Souma Kukai. Nadeshiko (or rather, 'Nagihiko') caught the ball. Kukai was amazed someone could jump so high. Nadeshiko quickly and easily dribbled the ball passed her friend. Kukai's heart raced. He glanced at the timer and then relaxed his muscles. The game was going to end in three seconds. And they were on Kukai's side of the court. No way could Nagihiko make a point. It was a draw.
Or so Kukai had imagined.
Nadeshiko jumped at the half court line. Again, Kukai was amazed. Nagihiko seemed to have jumped even higher than before! Nadeshiko shot the ball. At that moment in time, time itself seemed to go ever so slowly. Everything was in slow motion. Nadeshiko's feet approached the concrete slowly. Gravity obviously wasn't taking it's toll fast enough. The ball was in mid-air.
Two seconds left.
Kukai, un-knownly, was holding his breath. Was Nagihiko really gonna make the point? Nagihiko's feet was closer to the ground. The orange, rubber ball was swirling around the rim of the basket.
One second left.
The ball was still swirling around the rim. Kukai breathed out slowly as his body began to relax. If the ball kept swirling around like this, Nagihiko was never going to make the point.
Zero seconds left.
Swoosh. RING! RING! RING!
The timer went off. Kukai gaped at his friend. Nagihiko (or Nadeshiko) turned around and gave a triumphant smile.
Zero to one. Winner : Fujisaki Nagihiko.
Zero to one. Winner : Fujisaki Nadeshiko.
Zero to one. Winner : the girl.
Zero to one. Winner : obviously basketballs best player.
Zero to one. Winner : basketballs best player....who's a GIRL.
Silence had edge between the two best friends. Kukai smiled, although, he was dissapointed in himself. Never was he going to doubt his friend in basketball ever again. Still, it was a great game. And Kukai was glad Nagihiko won.....AGAIN. "You know...." Kukai started to say. "I never can seem to beat you in basketball." confessed the auburn hair boy. Nadeshiko smiled.
Oh yeah....I am SOO good at basketball. Nadeshiko thought to herself. "Because...basketball is my favorite sport. No way in HELL am I going to lose in my favorite game." Nadeshiko said in her disguised voice.
"Yeah." Kukai said as he smiled. The sunset's light shining above them...
Wait...sunset!? Nadeshiko thought. She ran to her bag on the bench and grabbed her cell phone. It read, 6:35 P.M.
And school got out at three o'clock P.M. And she had dance practice she had to prepare for. And she had to run a fifteen minute distance just to get to her house. And today, practice started at 6:45 P.M.
Oh no.... Nadeshiko whined to herself.
"Oi...Nagi...are you alright? You look like death awaits you." Kukai snickered.
If only I was as happy-go-lucky as Souma-kun. Nadeshiko thought. "I gotta go home."
"Uh hu----wait....the HELL!? Is that girl clothes!? And why is it from my school!?" Kukai shouted. "Don't tell me you like someone enough to go around stealing their clothes!"
"No, I don't like anyone!" Nadeshiko snapped. "These are Nadeshiko's stuff!"
"Oh.....why do you have her uniform clothes?" Kukai asked, grabbing the basketball and walking towards her. Nadeshiko didn't come up with an answer.
"Er....well.." she began to say. Think faster Nadeshiko! Nadeshiko thought. She only came up with one answer. "It's a twin business only." was her reply.
...oops... Nadeshiko thought. She forgot to disguise her voice.
"You sound like your Fujisaki twin, stop that." Kukai said with a frown. "It's scary!"
Scary? My voice is scary? "How is Nadeshiko's voice scary?" Nadeshiko asked.
" 'Cuz.....she sounds like a girl." was Kukai's reply.
"What's wrong with girls?" she asked. There is nothing wrong with me at least.
"Their just....I don't know.....so damn annoying! Ever since I was little, girls would swarm around me. Suffocating me with their Death Hugs! I can't stand girls!"
"And how come you never told me this?"
"Now you sound like my pops....and you never asked me about girls anyways."
"Okay...." Nadeshiko checked her time. 6:37 P.M. Crap! I'm going to be late! Mom is so not going to be happy....and she's scary when she's mad. Nadeshiko shuddered at the thought.
"See ya. Your probably gonna be late, huh?" asked Kukai. Nadeshiko gave the, 'What-the-hell-do-you-think!?' look as a reply. "Okay, okay. I get it. Oh....tell your twin to open her eyes more. There's this guy who has a thing for her."
"The hell?"
"Yeah.....I swear....your sister is so dense. It's ridiculous, really. She's a real idiot."
I'm not an idiot! Ugh! I gotta go home! NOW! "Yeah, yeah....and she's not an idiot!" Nadeshiko replied angrily.
"Yeah, yeah....." Kukai said. Nadeshiko (or Nagihiko) ran home with the bag in hand. Before she left, she smiled at Kukai. And off to home she sped.
______________________________________________________________________________
Kukai was all alone at the basketball court making a few more shots. He sensed a presence and glanced to his right. There the guy was.
Hotori Tadase. Kukai frowned when he saw him. It was so obvious that guy had a crush on Fujisaki Nadeshiko. Kukai was surprised on how dense Nadeshiko can be. But....was glad none the less. Her, being dense, was a good thing for Kukai. Kukai shot the ball and it went through the hoop. Kukai ran his fingers through his messy, brown hair.
Tadase glanced to his left and saw Souma Kukai. He smiled and continued his way home from his friends aunt's resteraunt.
Kukai smiled back, well, smiled until Tadase was no where in sight. He then gritted his teeth. That guy needs to back off Nadeshiko! That little bastard! No way in hell am I gonna lose to him! Kukai thought. He angrily grabbed his ball and stormed off home. Just looking at Tadase made Kukai angry. He was so jealous. Even though all three of them was in the Student Council, Tadase practically hogged Nadeshiko to himself!
And there was no way Kukai was going to tell Nagihiko who he liked. He'll the evil eye from Nagihiko all the time. And his over protectiveness for his sister might kick in and Kukai will never get a chance to get with Nadeshiko! Well, not like I have a chance with her anyways... Kukai thought in a depressed way.
What can I do? Kukai thought. At school, I act like I hate her. When people ask me if I like her, I just pretend to get angry. Ugh.....and at school.....sigh...I'll just never get to be with her.
Kukai arrived home and went straight to his bed that had army bed sheets. I really need help with girls.....ugh.....I have the worst luck in the world...
______________________________________________________________________________
Tadase arrived home and just went to the kitchen to help his mother cook.
"Oh......hello dear." she greeted.
"Hi mum." he replied. As Tadase helped his mom cook dinner, he thought to when he saw Kukai at the basketball court. Sure, he was nice, but Tadase was sure he felt an evil presensce when he was gone from Kukai's sight. And the presensce felt strong.
A Kukai strong kind of presensce. He couldn't like Fujisaki-san....could he? Nah, of course not. He practically hates her. Tadase laughed at the thought. Still, I can't be too careful. Loves like a war.....hmmmm.... Tadase thought some more. And in decision, he decided to keep an eye out on Kukai. Just once in a while, though. He couldn't miss a moment with Nadeshiko. She'll fall for me for sure.....hopefully.......ugh......I have the worst luck in the world...
______________________________________________________________________________
"Nadeshiko.......for the rest of this week, you are to come straight home from school...is that understood?" said Nadeshiko's mother.
"Y-yes....mother..." said Nadeshiko stuttered.
"And I am not to see you hold that orange, rubber ball......AGAIN." Nadeshiko's mother said in a stern way. Nadeshiko, was of course in her school uniform. Nadeshiko smiled weakly.
"Yes mother. I understand." And it's called a basketball..mom...Nadeshiko thought to herself.
"Good.....go get ready for practice then. You need to practice on the left foot's landing. It has to be more graceful. Not as stiff as a rock. Go."
"Yes mother." Nadeshiko said as she got up and started to get ready. Nadeshiko let out a heavy sigh. No basketball for three days!? How am I going to last for THREE days with no basketball!? Sigh.....oh well. Wait a second.....
Nadeshiko thought for a moment, I can STILL play basketball!
Nadeshiko thought about her idea for a little more while getting dressed in her kimono.
I can play basketball.....hopefully....ugh....I have the worst luck in the world...

So, did you guys like my first chapter? Hey! It's my first! But go ahead. Say what you want. I think it's alright.
Here's a sneak peak in the next chapter!
Kukai wanted to run to Nadeshiko and tell her it was going to be alright. That the little kid was going to be fine.
"--ease....." Kukai heard. "Please...let him be okay....please......" he heard Nadeshiko cry. Kukai ran across the garden to Nadeshiko. He grabbed her by the shoulders so she could look straight at him. Which surprised her. Hadn't he hate her?
"He will be okay.....c'mon.....let's take him to the nurses office." Kukai said. Nadeshiko smiled. She had tried to get up, but her legs were weak from running and carrying the little brunette boy. Kukai noticed this and did what any gentlemen would do.
With the little boy in Nadeshiko's arms, he picked Nadeshiko up and ran to the nurses office.
Princess style.
Of course, it might change. But yeah. And I don't mind if you people want to add any ideas to my story. I did have another plot in mind.....but my friend (BlossomBrick4aLifetime) said that she already read a story similar to what I had in mind. I was in shock. Really, I was. But I liked the idea. So, I stuck with it and changed it a little. Go ahead....review. Leave ideas. I'll continue!
