Hamuko was waiting for her brother outside Gekkoukan's school gate. She texted him for the fifth time that she is already outside his school and is waiting for him. "Ugh, I bet he is sleeping. Well, I still got to go back to school so I'd better find him." She said to herself sighing.
As she arrived at the building, her instincts told her to proceed on the part where the club rooms were found. He did mention that his homeroom assignment was 2F though. Now, where could that be..? She just walked aimlessly, observing the rooms and the students walking. Surprisingly, they seem unperturbed that she's not wearing the same uniform. Then, on that crowded hallway, their eyes met. Well technically, he merely glanced at first but then, he looked back at her, his eyes piercing right into her. Hamuko was glued on that spot, staring at him in awe.
His hair is silver and he is wearing a red vest. She could've sworn that his eyes were hazel.
"Akihiko-senpai!" Some girls around her age called out to him and appeared to be stalking the silver haired guy. Hamuko immediately got out from her musings and before she knew it, he was gone.
"Sis." Minato poked her from the back. This made his sister jump in astonishment.
"What the – Minato, you surprised me!"
Minato surveyed his sister with suspicion but the obento the other was holding, diverted his attention. "I'm starving, thanks." He instantly grabbed the box lunch from her.
"Geez. Here's your uniform, don't forget it next time, okay?" Hamuko handed the plastic bag to her brother.
"Oh, right. I don't have to borrow from Kazushi then. Thanks again." They began walking side by side towards the school lobby. Hamuko's thoughts were on the silver haired guy. She was itching to ask his twin about that guy but couldn't bring it up. She blushed while recalling that memory. Immediately, she shook her head so Minato won't notice.
"Uhmmm, how did you know that I was there?" the red eyed was wondering about it when his twin found her.
"We're twins." Minato answered in a matter-of-fact way. "Anyway, I got to go, I'm famished."
"That's not really welcoming you know." Hamuko pouted.
"Don't you have any classes to attend to?" Minato raised an eyebrow.
"I do, okay! You made me wait and I was lost and now you're -." Her twin brother cut her off in mid-sentence. "Sorry, I dozed off a bit. I'll walk you out then." This made Hamuko smile. Minato could easily read and understand her.
When they reached the gate, Minato teased his twin "I bet you've seen Akihiko-senpai. Well, see ya." Damn it, he could easily read her.
Arisato Residence..
On a typical Sunday afternoon, Minato Arisato is sleeping on the couch, the book "White Fang" by Jack London covering his face while the television is on. His pet dog Koromaru, was also napping at his owner's feet.
"Mi-na-to! I'm home!" Minato's twin sister Hamuko called out in a sing-song voice. The cheerful brown haired girl with bright ruby eyes came in carrying shopping bags. Koromaru, after hearing his other master's voice immediately got up and greeted the girl. "Woof, woof!" The white dog circled around Hamuko waiting to be petted.
Minato slowly stirred but was reluctant to get up. "You are really messy you know?" complained his twin, picking up his empty ramen cups which were scattered on the floor then made her way to the kitchen where the trash bin is located. Koromaru followed her hoping that he could get something to eat from the brunette.
"You didn't prepare anything for lunch, it's your fault." The blue haired murmured not moving an inch.
"Go get yourself something to eat outside then!" When she didn't get any response from him, she added, "Ugh, there's no use scolding you, you're too lazy." Hamuko started emptying the grocery items in the kitchen table. She turned to Koromaru, "Did that lazy head forgot to feed you?"
The Shiba Inu whimpered, his red eyes looking up at her hopefully. "Here, I bought some dog treats." Hamuko handed the treats to Koromaru which the dog happily ate.
Apparently, Minato went back to sleep which annoyed his twin. Hamuko then moved towards her brother and removed the book from his face. "Will you get up already? I have something to tell you."
Minato opened one eye and noticed his sister glowering at him. She really gets annoying sometimes. He sighed then slowly sat up, rubbing his eyes, "What?"
Hamuko sat beside him, her frown turning into a smile. "I've made up my mind bro! I'm going to get him!" her right fist was raised in the air while declaring it as emphasis.
"Him? You mean Sanada-senpai?" Minato responded in a bored voice.
The girl blushed upon hearing his name. He was a senior and goes to the same school with Minato. She met him a couple of days ago when she went to Gekkoukan High School to deliver her twin's obento and extra uniform. Akihiko's image flashed in her mind. Okay, we haven't really met, just an eye contact. But at least?
"Who else? The moment I saw him, I knew that it was love at first sight." She declared.
"Yeah, whatever. Can I have that?" Minato reached for the book Hamuko confiscated.
"Wait, I'm not finished yet. By the way, you've read this for the fiftieth time already! My story is much more important than this." His twin slapped his hand.
"I love reading that."
"I'm going to need your help bro." Hamuko stared at her twin seriously.
"And for the fiftieth time, you cannot transfer to Gekkoukan, mom and dad would get mad." Minato retorted. They've already discussed the matter last night. His sister insisted on transferring to Gekkoukan High.
The red-eyed shifted on her seat. "I know that. But, I could be you and you can be me." Hamuko grinned.
"Huh?" Her twin stared at her in disbelief.
"I want to be you for a week – no, a month and you can be me for a month!" Hamuko giggled.
"Seriously, sis. Now, I'm hungry." Minato stood up but his twin prevented him. His sister is now wearing a pleading look that Minato could not refuse. He finally sighed in defeat. "Look, We might be twins but we don't look exactly alike."
"In color, that is." Hamuko quickly got up and retrieved a shopping bag from the kitchen. She rummaged into the contents and procured a blue wig and a small circular box.
"What the –"
Hamuko arranged the wig in her hair. She even trimmed it to look exactly like her twin's hair. "See?" The ruby eyed giggled.
Minato was amazed. He was like looking at a mirror with a bad case of sore eyes and breast enlargement.
AN: Hamuko goes to an exclusive girl's school outside Tatsumi Port Island with Yukari, Fuuka, Mitsuru and Rio. The Kirijo group still owns Gekkoukan High. I promoted Hidetoshi as president. And, yeah, the twins' parents are alive but somewhere outside the country. Review? :)
