Chapter 2: Her secret

~After School~ Nagi's POV

I started walking out of the school when Yukaira ran passed me. She had the boy's uniform on and a hockey stick. I followed her until we reached the park. A group of boys were waiting for her. I came a bit closer. "Yukio, you're late!" One boy exclaimed. "Sorry, Ren. I'm going to Seiyo academy now so I'll be a bit late. I'll go change for the game."

She ran in my direction and flinched. "N-Nagi…" I smiled. "Um… Yukio-kun, may I speak with you?" She nodded and walked to the bathroom. "Nagi, I told you I lived the same lie as you." I sighed. "What do you mean? To play sports? You can play sports freely." She sat on the ground. "It's not like that. I really did have a twin brother. He died when we were 5. He used to play around with the boys all the time. I had to take care of our café, since our parent's had died. One day, he had gone out and Ren came to the café saying 'Yukaira, I'm sorry…' I didn't get what was happening and I saw Yukio on the streets. We took him to the hospital and his last words to me were 'don't tell the others. Pretend to be me and continue playing field hockey…' Then he was gone… I did as I was told and got into the bed, pretending to be him." She explained.

I stared at her. It made a bit of sense. "Why did he want you to play hockey for him?" She weakly smiled. "It was his dream. A star field hockey player. I have to live it for him. As for me… I want to live to do what my personalities want. A martial artist, a cook, a singer, a traditional dancer and most of all a musician." I didn't understand the last part about her personalities but, she must have a strong heart's egg.

"Yukio-kun, hand me that girl's uniform." She looked at me like I was crazy. "Why in the world…?" I smiled. "Nadeshiko has come back to Japan for a while." She smiled and handed me her uniform. We went into the restrooms and changed.

Yukaira's POV

Nagi is really nice… I thought. My small box moved a bit. "Hnn…?" I looked inside and two eggs were inside. "How would they move?" I shrugged. I placed the uniform into my bag and carried it and the box with me. "Hello." I turned around to see Nagihiko in my uniform. "Yo. Ore wa Muresami Yukio." I greeted. "Watashi wa Fujisaki Nadeshiko, yorushiku." We both laughed and headed to the field.

Ren was waiting with the others. "There you are." He exclaimed. I laughed. "Sorry, hey this is my friend, Fujisaki Nadeshiko. She was studying abroad in Europe and decided to visit." The boys blushed. "Nice to meet you…" Ren's little brother, Hiroki, said. Nagi smiled. "It's nice to meet you as well." I was a bit disturbed that he decided to dress like that and be able to act like a girl so well. Well, he has been doing this for a long time.

"Nadeshiko!" Nagi twitched. "Oh God, please don't let it be her…" He whispered. I turned around and saw Amu. Oh man! I thought. "Nadeshiko, you're back! Oh, hi Yukaira, you've met Nadeshiko?" She asked. I fake laughed. "Sorry, you're thinking of my sister. I'm Yukio, Yukaira's older twin brother." She looked at the group of boys and then back at me. "You play sports?" I nodded.

I really wish she could go away. I can't let anyone know I had a twin. I can't have my secret blown. "When you leave, don't tell anyone that Yukaira and I are twins. Nobody knows other than the group around us." I said. She nodded. The boys decided we should start playing and so, we did. In my group, I had Ren, Kyo, Haru, Yuri and Sho. On the other team were Hiroki, Hinata, Hiroshi, Daichi, Yuuki and Cam. Rune was the scorekeeper. I played defense along with Sho. Ren, Kyo and Yuri played offense. Haru was usually lazy on days like this so he played goalie. The other team had Hiroshi, Hiroki and Hinata as offense, Daichi and Cam as defense and Cam as goalie. Then the game had started.

Nagi's POV

"S-so, Amu-chan… w-what brings you to the park?" I asked. "I'm waiting for Tadase. We were going to watch a movie."I smiled. "So you finally got him, eh?" Amu blushed. "Y-yeah… It's been a while Nade, I missed you a lot." Oh, if she knew I've been here all this time. I thought.

"Can you tell me who this Yukaira is?" I asked. She nodded. "Well, she's a seriously shy girl. I heard she was gifted and such, so she learned things in a short amount of time. Her family runs a café called the Twilight Rose Garden. I would think she would be cute in girly clothing." I giggled. Yukaira in girly clothing…? That would be the day.

"She seems to have an eye for Nagi." Amu finished. "Really?" I asked. Amu nodded. "Amu-chan!" She twirled around and smiled. "I'll be right there!" She waved good bye and left.

"Thank goodness…" I sighed. I haven't acted like Nadeshiko in a while. How long… I think 3 years now. "Yes!" I heard Yukaira exclaim. I walked over to Rune and looked at the score. It seems Yukaira had scored some points to put her team in the lead.

"Second half, begin!" Rune shouted. The people in the center of offense started clicking their sticks with each other's and Hiroki's team got the ball. They passed it back and forth, getting close to Yukaira's goal. When the ball got close to her, she hit it and it skidded toward Ren, on the other side of the field. He flicked the stick a bit and the ball went in. She smirked.

I had noticed her box was outside of her bag. It moved, slightly. I came close to it and peeked inside. Two eggs. One with two hockey sticks and a ball in the center and the other had chains parting it into 5 sections, each containing a different object and instrument.

"Shugo chara…." I whispered. Temari floated toward it and hugged the eggs. "Both are warm, Nagi, they're going to hatch soon." I smiled. "That's wonderful."

… Yeah, this one went a bit downhill… but it may get better!
