Intro
Trees and buildings flashed by as the van my family and I were in drove on. My twin sat next to me in the middle, while my younger brother slept soundly in the back. My mother and father were talking in the front speaking of my older sister Chisaki, who would be meeting us at our new home. Yep, my family and I had packed up and moved from Tokyo to the quaint town of Namimori. The reasons were numerous, but there were two that were chief among them. The first was that I needed a better education. Living in Tokyo had perks of better schools, but my grades weren't the best and few teachers had time for one-on-one with their students.
Tutors were recommended but my family couldn't afford to hire one. The other reason for our move was my twin. Arashi had gotten sick about the middle of the school year, and hadn't gotten better. He wasn't frail by any means, but he'd still become ill and it didn't seem like he'd be cured for a good while yet. I think that was a big reason why my grades were so bad; I worried about him even if he was a minute older than me. Of course I didn't blame him for a thing but that didn't make him feel better about being a cause of our move.
Finally we pulled into a driveway to find a brilliant green sports car already there. My sister Chisaki stood next to it waving to us. As the van slowed to a stop Haruto yawned from his place in the back. His eyes were bleary with sleep but his voice sounded awake.
"Onee-chan, onii-chan are we there yet?" he asked. Arashi and I were beaten to the reply by our father.
"Sure are Haruto," he said grinning with excitement dancing in his gray eyes, "Are you excited?"
"Yeah," Haruto said now fully awake as he unbuckled, and exited the car. I smiled at him along with Arashi, who looked pale, but otherwise seemed fine for the time being. As soon as Haruto's feet hit the pavement Arashi and I unbuckled and followed our younger brother's lead. We were greeted by our mother as we did. Her brown hair danced in the breeze that had the leaves rustling in harmony with the grass.
"So what do you two think of our new home?"" she asked. It sounded strange to call this place home, but after a while it would feel normal.
"It's nice I guess," I said, "But…"
"It doesn't feel like home just yet," Arashi finished for me. I smiled at my twin. Sometimes, people would forget that we were fraternal twins. We looked extremely similar with matching heights, eye and hair color. Even our voices sounded similar enough to convince people that we were one person or identical. Of course it was also probably because I kept my hair short so it wouldn't be grabbed by bullies or jerks. Both of which had happened before. Chisaki walked up to us as our mom left to help dad with a few things.
"So, how's was the ride?" she asked gray eyes questioning.
"Fine, but what about yours?" I asked.
"Yeah, it was a pretty long drive after all," Arashi said pointedly. It was no secret, to anyone that knew Chisaki, that our sister hated long drives. To my question Chisaki shrugged.
"Eh, could have been better or worse, but I managed," she said, "I've already scouted the house too, and called the best room the place has to offer."
"Hey, you always get the best room," Arashi and I chorused, "That's not fair aniki."
"Tough because it's already done," she said teasingly. Arashi suddenly let out a cough which had me and Chisaki looking at him with worry. He brushed it off, but he looked paler than he had earlier and I could hear the rasp in his breath. I felt completely useless; Arashi was my twin and all I could do was watch him suffer, and feel his pain and fear.
"Chisaki could you come help your mother with Haruto?" our father asked. My older sister nodded and headed inside to help out.
"Yuzuki, Arashi your mother and I have been talking and we've decided that until Arashi is better he won't be able to go to school," our father said walking to stand in front of us.
"But what about Yuzuki," Arashi asked, "I don't want her to go alone."
"It's okay Arashi, I'll be fine," I said trying to be as reassuring as possible. Yeah I was probably lying since a friend of mine had told me of the rumors he'd heard about Namimori. If I were honest; I was frightened of going to school and coming home on my own, but if I told that to Arashi he'd try to come with me.
"Are you sure nee-san?" Arashi asked. I nodded and smiled.
"Completely," I wondered if he could see through my lie. But he didn't press the matter any further, which had me mentally sighing in relief. I heard my father sigh.
"And there's one more thing Yuzuki," he said gray eyes serious, "We've heard a rumor of a doctor over in Italy who apparently specializes in diseases, even ones that other doctors don't know about. We plan to go and check it out, but only after we find out if the rumors are warranted. And if they are… you'll have to stay here."
"What?" I asked, "Alone?"
My father nodded. My heart seemed to stop. Normally such things wouldn't bother me, but now things were different. This place was new, and if rumors were to be believed dangerous as well. Arashi also seemed to share my sentiments.
"But Tou-san, why would she have to stay here?" Arashi asked. Our father sighed running a hand through his hair.
"Money," he answered, "We only have enough to get four of us to Italy and back. Chisaki will be at college most days so having her come wouldn't work, and Haruto's too young to be left alone. That's why if we do go it will be your mother, Haruto, me, and you Arashi."
"It's still not fair to leave Yuzuki here," my brother complained, blue-gray eyes flashing angrily.
"I don't want to do it either Arashi, but it's the only solution," our father said gently, "Besides we don't even know if we are going, so Yuzuki might not be here alone. And if we do go, searching for the truth of the rumors will likely take some time, so your sister will be able to get acquainted with her classmates at Namimori Middle and make some friends."
"Yeah, but…" I cut my brother off.
"Arashi, I'll be fine," I said, "I don't like the idea of staying here by myself either, but it's the only way. And Dad's right you all might not even go."
"Okay," Arashi sighed, "but promise me you won't do anything reckless… please."
"I can't make any guarantees but I'll try my best," I said, "Now let's go see if Chisaki really did steal the best room again."
With that we ran inside. I just wish now that I'd known how things would turn out because at least then I'd have been more prepared.
Me: Well, folks this is a rewrite of my Two Sides of the Wind. *looks back at old version and cringes* I realized after looking at that it was fairly cringe-worthy so I decided to redo it completely.
Yuzuki: Yeah that romance was going way too fast in my opinion.
Me: *nods* You weren't the only one who thought so. In my defense though I wasn't really into romance at that time; I still don't really care for it but I'm probably better than I was. Anyways the romance in this will go slower, though that silver tiger necklace will still have a part to play in this… even though I never published that much of my story before.
Yuzuki: So please review and let Brightcloud know what you think, she also does not own KHR but she owns me, my family, and other OCs.
Me: Yep, and I also own the plot where my OCs are concerned. *bows* With that I bid you farewell until next time.
Yuzuki: Ja ne minna.
