(-^- ledge looks like this, Natsumi is hanging from the point)
The sun just went down. Rain continues to pour down. I had to keep my eyes half open to see. I was hanging from a ledge off the side of a cliff, the wound I received on my side still hurts. I was pushed, but I managed to hang to the side so I didn't fall to my death. I tried to climb back up, as my head reached over the edge, I received a kick in the face. I hang back down. I look to see the perpetrator. I can see it was a girl, but her face is dark. Lighting strikes nearby and I see her face.
Grinning evilly at me was…me.
I gasp in surprise. But how can she be me? Did that stupid frog did another useless plan to invade earth? I watch her walk up to wear I hang. Grinning, she uses both of her feet to grind into my hands. Ow…, she lowers herself so she is crouching. Her head leans over the edge, looking at me with her evil grin. Her feet are still on my hands.
"So," she says, "you're probably wondering why I look like you huh?" her right foot seemed to be heavier on my hand, I might not hold on for much longer.
"Natsumi, I'm your Doppelgänger," with that she got off, and stepped away. My fingers gave way and I fell, my last thought was….
Giroro…
One day earlier…
Today is the day!
Natsumi closes her bedroom door. She clenches her hand in front of her face. Today is the day that I'll finally tell Saboro how I really feel! She rushes down the stairs, passing Giroro. It look like he had something in his hands, but I'm too busy to see what it was.
I quickly made breakfast. Laying Fuyuki's food on the table, I quickly gobbled up mine, and ran out the door. I had an important meeting to go to.
I rushed off to school. I can feel my heart skipping a beat. Or maybe two. I was a block away when I bumped into Saboro.
"Saboro! Hey wait up!" I yelled waving my arm to get his attention. He stopped and turned his head. He gave me his charming smile, but somehow, it didn't make my heart flutter like it used too.
"Hey there Natsumi," he said as I caught up with him
"Hey," I said between breaths "there Saboro," I straightened up, "I uh, need to tell you, um something," I brought my face down; I can feel my face heating up.
"Yea? Go on tell me," he replied looking earnest
"Well, you see, I...Um…" I lifted my head, so our eyes meet, "Saboro, I like you a lot,"
Saboro had his body faced to me, my hands fidgeted as I awaited his answer.
"Natsumi,"
"Uh yes?" I can tell I was blushing
"Natsumi," he sighs, then looks me in the eye, "I like you, but only as a sister. I like someone else, and," he points to my heart, "I can tell you like someone else also," he gives me a warm smile and walks off.
How did…how did he know? I knew I stopped being in love with Saboro for awhile now, but I don't know with whom. I sighed, and I continued my way back to school.
My teacher comes in. he says we are learning an interesting subject called 'Doppelgänger's'
Doppelgänger - In fiction and folklore, a doppelgänger is a paranormal double of a living person, typically representing evil or misfortune. In the vernacular, the word has come to refer to any double or look-alike of a person.
My teacher read aloud of the description of the doppelgänger from the textbook. Wow that's pretty interesting a double image…wait it's kinda like that time with Angel Moi when she took the form of a normal human girl.
