Chapter 3 - The Plan

Third Person P.O.V

It was quiet outside, as all the junior high students have either all left for home since school was over or was inside for club meetings. Except for Ichigo, who was constantly looking around her, impatiently waiting for one of the twins to show up.

She had it all figured out, her plan that is. But doing something like this was completely out character for her as confronting people wasn't something she usually would do. So saying that she was afraid of her plan failing was an understatement.

It had all started when one of her friends started crushing on one of the twins and Ichigo couldn't understand why her friend would have a crush on one of them. They were both arrogant jerks in her eyes.

She didn't like them in the beginning, but them breaking her friend's heart was the last straw in her mind and after figuring out how they do the rejection, she figured out a plan of her own as a way to get revenge and she just hoped, that maybe, just maybe, it would work and not another girl would end up being a victim to there sick game.

So here she stands, waiting for the twins to show up.

She took a deep breath and lets it out slowly. Hoping this won't end up as a disaster. But she was dealing with Hitachiin twins, so it would most likely end in a disaster one way or another.

She closes her eyes as she leans against the wall with her arms crossed over her chest. Trying to keep her nerves down.

"Ichigo." Her eyes snap open, looking up to see one of the twins.

She swallows down her nerves before pushing herself away from the wall.

"K-Kaoru." Ichigo stuttered, without even trying. She was already nervous. So afraid of the results that in the end, her nerves were working with her as it helped her acting as it only made her appear as if she was nervous about confessing her love to him.

The boy in front of her, who was, in fact, Kaoru, frowned. Thinking that this was going to end up like every other love confession. Not realizing that the girl in front of him had a plan of ending their game and he had put that plan in motion without even realizing it.

He held her letter in one hand with a frown as he looked down at her. "Sorry but I'm Hikaru." He lied right through his teeth. Apart of him felt guilting for lying to a pretty girl while another part of him, didn't care as it was her fault for being arrogant, at least, that's what he had thought. "It seems you got our desk mixed up."

"O-oh," Ichigo says while looking down at her feet going along with the act while swallowing hard. It was going exactly how her friend had described it and part of her, really wish it wasn't as it was nothing but a sick game in her eyes.

Kaoru then smirks at her. "But you see, I believe that I have fallen for you." Kaoru then places two fingers under her chin and lifts her head up to look at him. Seeing the blush that started appearing on her face made him feel disappointed as he has heard of Ichigo Hayashi. A smart young girl that has openly stated to people that she didn't like the twins or approved of there behavior and was one of the few girls that have openly stated that without a care.

So it was a surprise to see that he had received a love letter from her. But in the end, this only proved to him that no one can be trusted. "I was wondering if you would accept me instead."

Ichigo could feel her heart skip a beat as she stares at the boy in the eyes. She could see warmth and kindness in his eyes. But she could feel the feeling of disappointed begin to feel her stomach as she continued to stare into his eyes. As she knew they were fake, the kindness and sincerity he showed was nothing but an act and knowing that fact is what kept her from falling for the boy, who she was assuming was really Kaoru, instead of Hikaru.

Ichigo then narrows her eyes at the boy as a scowl made its way onto her face as she slams her hands on the boy's chest, pushing him away with as much strength she could muster. "Liar!" Ichigo yells at him. She wasn't going to let herself fall for an arrogant boy like him. Not now, not ever.

Shock begin to take over Kaoru face, as did the real Hikaru, who was behind a nearby bush, watching the scene unfold before him. Waiting for his moment to show up, which appears it should be happening sooner rather than later as he watched the girl, Ichigo, glare at his brother with curled fists at her side.

"I know your not Hikaru! Your Kaoru and I know the real Hikaru is behind that bush!" Ichigo pointed at a random bush that was nearby, not knowing if Hikaru really was behind that bush, which he wasn't. They both still jumped through due to her loud voice and how she suddenly seems to know exactly what was going on. "You may have been able to trick my friend but you won't be able to trick me!" Ichigo yells at them.

That was when Hikaru decided now was a good time to leave his hiding spot and walk over to where his brother stood, seeing the smirk appear on the girl's face when her eyes fell onto to Hikaru, made him feel uncomfortable as he didn't know what the girl had up her sleeve. It wasn't every day that someone called them out like this.

Ichigo watched as Hikaru comes to stand by his twin, causing a smirk to take over the scowl she had which caused both boys to narrow their eyes on to the girl that stood in front of them as they begin to come to terms with the realization that she was not like the others.

The smirk stayed on Ichigo's face as she flipped her long hair over her shoulder before letting her hands rest on her hips as she stood tall. "I'll be honest with you both right here and right now. What I wrote in that letter was nothing but a lie to lure you both out so I could have a nice chat with you both." Ichigo tells them which caused their eyes to widen slightly before they narrowed again and a scowl took over there frowns of confusion once they realized that they had been tricked. "So in other words, I hold no romantic interest in either one of you."

A soft sigh then leaves Ichigo lips as she crossed her arms over her chest as she shifted most of her weight onto her right foot. "Honestly, I don't understand you two. It's like you want to be told apart," Ichigo begin walking around the two of them while still talking. "But you make it so hard for people to tell you apart. It's like you don't want to be told apart sometimes. Honestly, how do you expect people to ever have the ability to tell you two apart if you don't even give them a fair chance? Not only that," Ichigo then stops circling them and instead walks closer to the twins and makes eye contact with the twins that she had successfully shocked into silence. "But if you actually think your childish games are going to work for you in the real world when your adults. I'm sorry to say this but it's only going to make you fail early in life. You see everyone around you as idiots. Yet, in reality, you're the idiots."

Ichigo then turns away from them, not wanting to face a pair of idiots anymore. "It's sad really, and I'm tired of standing here watching you two ruin your life. But you don't have to listen to me if you don't want to. Go on ahead, ignore me and forget about this ever happening the next day. Just like you did with all your other victims." She then looks at the twins over her shoulder, amusement burning in her eyes at the shock expressions on there faces. "See if I care. Also before I leave there's one more thing. Mark my words, I will one day have the ability to tell you two apart, one day without having to guess and without luck."

And with that, she walks away. Leaving the twins alone to handle their shock. No one has ever talked to them like that. Not even the great Tamaki Souh talked to them in such a manner.

Author Note -

This was my favorite chapter to write. I just love how Ichigo just puts them in there place so much. I can't even begin to tell you how much fun writing this chapter was, to be honest with ya.
