Freedom

Summary:

"You do not need to wait another year to taste freedom…"

She was longing for freedom. Tennis was the only thing she's got. Then suddenly it was taken away from her. What is she gonna do now? FujixOC.

Chapter 3: TWIN

"Kei-chan do my report, pronto! I need it 2 days from now!"

"Keira, the birds!"

"Keira where'd you put my tank top?"

"Keira!"

"Kei-chan!"

It was Keira, Keira everywhere. Keira this, Keira that; everyone has really taken advantage of her after their father's death. They had treated her as a maid instead of a sister or a daughter.

Keira sighed as she did all of everyone's commands as fast as she could.

"Keira! We're running out of supplies!! Go and get some!!"

"Hai, desu!" Keira replied and headed to the supermarket to get some supplies as what her 'mom' said.

-O..o..O..o..O..o..O..o-

"Let's take a rest f!or a while, Aniki,"

"Aa, come let's get some drinks,"

Keira was just passing by some tennis courts when she suddenly saw two tennis rackets near the bench and some balls lying on the court. Something inside of her told her to play, she tried to control it but she couldn't. She was wrong; she thought she can stand a year without playing the sport she loved the most. But the truth is, she really can't live without it. So she got the racket and a ball. Then, she faced a wall and started battling with the wall. After every shot she's hit, she felt like she was in the clouds. She had never felt so free and light in her life after tennis was taken away from her. She also forgot that she had an errand to do and she was using someone else's racket…

"Huh? Do you hear that Aniki?"

"Aa, I think someone's using our rackets,"

"EH?! What are we standing here for?! Shouldn't we stop whoever is using our rackets without our permission??"

"Saa…shinpai nai sa, my racket is in good hands," the brunet smiled and looked at a different direction, A direction where a blue-haired girl keeps on hitting shots against a wall, amazingly.

"Dou koto, Aniki?" his younger brother asked in confusion.

"Let her play the sport which was taken away from her," the tensai replied.

"Aniki, do you know her?" the Rudolphian asked.

"Aa," the sadist replied.

"Who is she?" Yuuta asked.

"My classmate," Fuji replied.

"How do you know that tennis was taken away from her? Is she your girlfriend?" Yuuta asked.

"Wild guess," Fuji smiled. "And she's not my girlfriend, just a friend"

Yuuta sighed. "Aren't you gonna approach her?"

"I just wanna see her play for a while," Fuji replied.

Suddenly, the girl stopped. She remembered her errand. When she turned, she saw two figures. She was very familiar with the smiling one, but the other one, she was not.

"F-Fuji-kun! H-How long h-have you been there??" the girl was surprised. Again.

"Long enough to see you play very well," the brunet smiled.

"O-Oh," Keira blushed. "I-I gotta go," she then returned the racket where she found it and dashed out.

"What was that all about?" Yuuta looked puzzled.

As Keira dashed out of the courts, she forgot to look where she was going which caused her to bump into someone.

"Ah!" Keira closed her eyes as she almost fell backwards because of the impact. But a hand supported her fall from behind. When she opened her eyes wondering why she hadn't hit the ground yet. She found herself staring into a pair of sapphire eyes like hers. The person who caught her on time, let her down and smiled.

Fuji's eyes snapped open, the person's companion blinked twice to make sure he wasn't seeing a girl version of their captain.

"A-arigato gozaimasu, desu," Keira thanked softly as she was surprised to be looking at someone who is almost exactly like her, only, he's a he.

"Daijobu desuka?" the person's feminine-like voice sounded as he smiled.

"His voice, it sounds familiar, now where have I heard it before?" Keira asked herself. "H-Hai, desu,"

"She looks very familiar. Could she be--?" the blue-haired boy asked himself. "That's good to know. You be careful next time okay?"

"Hai, desu," Keira replied. "Shitsurei shimasu"

"Aa, kyotskette," the taller boy said.

"Hai, desu," Keira replied and left.

"Yukimura is it just me or did that girl really looked a lot like you?" Marui still can't believe what he saw.

"Yeah I was surprised, too," Yukimura smiled.

"What's her name again?" Marui asked.

"Oh, I forgot to ask," Yukimura replied.

"Sheesh Yukimura, she could've been your twin sister you know!" Marui reminded his captain.

"I know but she looked like she was in a hurry," Yukimura looked at the path the girl took. "If she really is Kei-chan, we'll see each other again."

Then it hit Fuji…

"…I only had one friend, and it was my twin. But we were separated from one another."

"Could it be…?"

-O..o..O..o..O..o..O..o-

"That was close," Keira said in relief. "No one should ever know that I play tennis, or else and I'll never ever see Sei-niichan again."

Keira hurriedly bought all the necessary supplies and headed home.

"Tadai—" (Tadaima)

"What took you so long? I'm starving!!" Riku scolded.

"H-hai, desu," Keira then, headed to the kitchen and prepared food. While doing the other chores, she couldn't forget what happened a moment ago. That encounter with someone who almost resembled her. Could it be—could she have finally met him--?

"Where have you been?" Rika asked as they ate.

"To-to the supermarket," Keira replied. They mustn't know she played tennis or else…

"What took you so long?" their mom asked.

"Lo-long line," Keira replied.

"ahh…" Riku said as she continued to eat.

"Phew! That convinced them alright," Keira said in relief.

--

"Keira where are you going?" Rika asked.

"To my room, I'll be dong Riku-neesama's report," Keira replied.

"Oh," Rika said and left her sister.

When Keira was inside her room, she lied down on her bed for a while and held her pendant in front of her. It was a golden tennis ball; her twin had a golden tennis racket as a pendant, which means that tennis resembled them. She looked at it for a while. "When the time comes, we'll be together again. I promise, Seii-niichan…" After resting for a few minutes she continued on doing her sister's report.

-O..o..O..o..O..o..O..o-

"Okaa-san, I think Kei-chan isn't alright,"

"What do you mean by that, Seiichi? You're scaring me,"

"You know, that brotherly instinct?" the blue-haired boy replied. "I can feel that she is not comfortable with the people surrounding her."

"Seiichi, you're just too worried about her," his mom said. "Don't worry, we'll find her. I'm sure of it."

"Aa," Yukimura replied and looked at his pendant. "I'm sure of that, too. But when will be the time for me to see her again? I miss her so much."

"Seiichi," his mom was worried about her daughter, too. But they must not lose hope. She's still alive and is currently longing for freedom in a place where she is treated unfairly…
