Author's note:

Third chapter. Okay, I'm not sure why, but I guess I should make things a little interesting, or at least a little bit fun. Well, at least I still am trying my best to try more 'beautifully'. So, yeah, so sorry if I still write suckishly.

Again, read and please tell me anything you want to say. Comments, insults, praises, suggestions, or whatever you want to say are always accepted and highly appreciated.

Thanks.

Anyway, here's the third chapter of my oh-so-lov-err-ly story.

Cheers!

Chapter 3:

The First Sight

Hana has been staying with her cousin in the old, haunted house for about a week now, and truth be told, she's having a whole lot of fun with Ana, and everyone else that's been staying in the house. Sad to say, though, Lyserg, the most polite boy in the house, told Hana that she hasn't met everyone He said that there's a husband and wife living with them, named Faust and Eliza, but they weren't due back until next month. Then there's Yoh's, Ana's fiancé, twin brother Hao, he was to come home last week, but he didn't and Lyserg said that he was bound to come home any day this week.

Hana didn't show any emotion when she heard Hao's name. Of course she remembered everything. Every tear, every heartache, every moan, and every death she went through. She wanted to see Hao, she needed to see him, but she wasn't sure if she was ready, her heart might be able to take it.

She soon got her wish, though. It was a Friday afternoon; everyone was out doing their own business, while Hana on the other hand was left in the house. It was quite a boring day, Hana was washing the dishes when someone entered and said out loud, addressing everyone and no one at the same time.

"Hey, everyone, I'm back and I'm starving!"

Hana, not knowing who it was hastened to greet whoever he is; she was still even holding a plate.

"Welcome ba-" She stopped as she saw who the new comer is. Silence engulfed them. Her heart seems to have skipped a beat and suddenly constricted. She opened her mouth to stop the awkward silence, but it seemed that her voice left her.

"Uhm, hi!" Hana said after a couple more seconds trying to sound perky and sounding as if she doesn't know who he is, which is what is suppose to be.

Hao can't believe his eyes. He knows who she is, and he's sure of it, Hana. Why is she here? What does she want? If so, why is she acting as if she doesn't know anything? Maybe she really can't remember a thing. Or hopefully this isn't Hana at all. Yeah, she isn't Hana, she just can't be. It's impossible.

"Uh," Hao started. Maybe he is right, this girl isn't Hana, and she just looks freakishly like her. "Sorry, but who are you?"

"Oh, yeah, I forgot. I'm Hana." She said introducing herself to the new comer.

Hao froze as she heard her name. Her name's Hana as well. Coincidence, maybe, but this is too much.

Hana knew what his reaction was going to be, she just knows him too much. "I'm Ana's cousin." She added when Hao didn't say a thing. She also extended her arm so she could shake his hand.

"Oh, I'm Hao." He said as she took Hana's hand. It felt so weird. Both their hearts were beating faster and faster, Hana knew exactly why, but Hao still wasn't sure about it. "I'm Yoh's-"

"Yoh's twin brother." Hana finished the sentence. "Yeah, I know." Hao, on the other hand just smiled. There was silence again, at least this time it isn't as awkward as before.

"Anyway, there's food in the kitchen, if you want." Hana said remembering what he said a while back.

"Sure, why not?" And with that they went to the kitchen.

Hao just watched Hana as she prepared food for him. She's just like her, the Hana before; from her eyes, to her every move, so graceful and beautiful. He can't remove his eyes from her, he wants to hold her tight, just like before, but she isn't Hana, his Hana, she just look like her.

"Here you go." Hana said as she placed food on the counter in front of Hao as she sat down in front of him. "Tama cooked it a while ago. Hope you like it." Then she smiled sweetly at him.

"Not bad." Hao said as he took a bite and smiled back.

"Do you really have to look at me while I'm eating?" Hao asked smiling. He wouldn't admit it, but he likes it, the way this Hana looks at him.

"Well, do you want me to go away?" She asked as a reply.

Hao stopped. Does he want her to go away? "Nah, stare as long as you like." He said trying to sound casual, and then they both laughed. After that, Hana volunteered to wash the dishes and this time Hao was the one staring at her.

"Hey, Hana, do you have a second name?" He asked while Hana continued to wash the dishes. She wasn't sure why Hao asked that, but it was something to do with her past, that she was sure of.

"Yeah, I have." She answered not looking at him. "Its Hana, my first name is August. I know it's a weird name, but my mom liked it, so I had no choice."

"August? Its…uhm…unique." Hao said smiling at her. "I'll start calling you that, if you don't mind."

"I won't if you'll explain why."

"I once knew a girl named Hana, well; let's just say that that there are still bad memories attached to it." Hao explained "So can I?"

Hana didn't reply. She knew that she was Hao was talking about.

"Uhmmm… Sure why not…" Hana soon replied, but after that she didn't say a thing.

"Hey Hana! Where are you?" Another voice came from the hallway, Ren seemed to have returned.

Hana smiled when she heard Ren's voice, she kind of likes him. He's always sweet to her and always understanding.

"I'm in the kitchen." Hana replied back as she wiped the last plate dry. Hao looked at the door and waited for Ren to come in so he could welcome him back as well.

"There you are, I brought home some cupcakes, hope you-" Ren stopped when he saw Hao. "HAO! When did you return?" he asked sounding both surprised and happy.

"What's up Ren? I just arrived maybe an hour ago." Hao said as he shakes hands with Ren. "God thing August is here to keep me company."

"August?" Ren asked obviously not knowing who August is. Hao jerked his head towards Hana's direction indicating that she is August.

"It's my first name." Hana explained. "So what flavor do you have?" Hana asked changing the subject.

"Well, for you I got mint chocolate." Ren said as he took out a chocolate cupcake with green mint spots.

"My favorite!" She said as she took the cupcake and gave Ren a quick hug to show her appreciation.

Hao and Ren both froze. Hao froze because for no reason at all, felt a jolt of jealousy and pain in his heart. Ren on the other hand froze because he wasn't expecting it and slowly and unconsciously he thinks he's falling for Hana.

Ren faced Hao and said "Hey, I didn't know that you were coming back so I don't have anything for you… Sorry, bro."

"Nah, it's ok. I already ate and I'm tired so I'll go upstairs and maybe rest." Hao said as he stood up and walked out and up the stairs to his room.

Ren and Hana on the other hand enjoyed their cupcakes while Hao lay restlessly on his bed wondering who the hell this Hana is and what was that he felt a while ago.

DONE! Haha!

It was a suckish ending, but I can't think of any way of ending it. Hehe. So sorry.

Anyway, R&R!
