The sisters walked down the alley, they were twins. The only contrast was the elder twin's long pink hair against the younger twin's navy blue hair. Where had red in her uniform, the other had blue. They both strode forward with confident steps, their eyes shining with defiance and their skirts billowing behind them. The two came to a stop, finding two higher grades picking on a young boy.
"Hey, you are blocking the road." The elder one spoke up, her eyes impassive.
Her sister looked at the hoodlums and scoffed, finding their preying upon the child pathetic.
"AA-H! it's the "Cool and spicy" Himamori Amu and the "Cold Witch" Himamori Ame. I heard they threatened the principle to let them wear their customized school uniforms and that Amu beat up four high school students for blocking her way!" The two boys bowed to them quickly and ran off, a trail of smoke following them.
"T-thank you!" The short boy stuttered, only to be received with a cold stare and…
"What are you talking about, you're in our way too." the 'cheerful' reply of the elder twin.
The twins walked past the boy, ignoring his new admiration for the two. They walked calmly towards the large double doors of Seiyo, only to pause when they found a commotion starting up near the entrance. Ame walked on, not interested in the gossip of the school while Amu stayed. She stared impassively as Amu made a comment to the 'Prince' of the school, Tadase. Ame sighed, knowing of her sister's crush on the blond boy, well, she most definitely is not earning brownie points with that comment. Amu walked quickly to the classroom and Ame followed after. Ignoring the every day squeal of 'Cool and Spicy' from her two classmates that admired Amu.
Why can't I be more like Amu, I just wish that I could be as brave as her sometimes. To be able to lose the façade, and this shell that surrounds me. Ame sighed looked around the classroom, Amu had already left.
Ame walked into the grocery store, buying Ami the ice cream she promised her. She paused at the cookies section, and shrugged, she reached out a hand to grab a pack of Amu's favourite cookies, only to stop as the hands of a stranger encompassed her hand.
"Aa. Sorry. You can have this" A husky male voice spoke up from behind her.
"No, its fine. You can have it." She shoved the package into his hands and grabbed another bag, spinning around and walking straight to the cashier. Ignoring the puzzled male behind her, he ran his hand through his hair and sighed. A tiny voice piped up from beside him.
"Neh, neh Ikuto! Lets go get some yarn."
Ame looked back when she heard the voice and saw no one near the boy. Strange, I was sure that I heard something.
Ikuto quirked a brow at that, Did the girl just hear Yoru? No, its probably just a part of my imagination. He picked up his forgotten violin case and walked towards the pet section, muttering to a unknown figure that only a few children saw.
Ame, sighed as she opened the door with her house key. Making sure to be as quite as possible she placed the ice cream into the fridge and walked up the stairs. She was about to enter Amu's room to give her the cookies she bought when she heard Amu talking.
"Why can't I be myself!? I don't want to seem like this to the others, but they seem to take my awkwardness as something 'cool'. I, just wish that I could be myself one in awhile."
Ame sighed, her hand paused in a knocking position. She left the cookies at the door and walked to her room across the hallway. Not noticing a confused silhouette staring at the bag of cookies at her floor and her Ame's closed door. Amu sighed, "I guess mum must have remembered my favourite snack and brought it to cheer me up." Amu went back into her room. Not noticing the disappointing stare at the corner of the hallway.
