Have fun reading this!


Who said blondes are thick?

5-year old Hikaru and Hikari Aidou are the twins of Hanabusa Aidou and Sayori Aidou, formally known as Sayori Wakaba. Very much like their Father, they are both very clever children and are admired by many other Vampires in the society. Both are very much like their Father, inheriting his blonde hair and big, blue eyes. Hikaru wears his hair short and wispy, almost like his Father's. Hikari tends to wear her hair in two short pig-tails because her Mother prefers her hair that way. Even though Hikaru and Hikari are twins and both share the same level of intelligence; their two personalities are different in many ways. As the older twin, Hikaru tends to be the "leader-type" and is quite fond of ordering people around. He is an outgoing person, and gets along well with other children if he is not in one of his "bossy moods". As the older twin, Hikaru cares for his younger sister and can be quite protective at times. That is one thing that both Hanabusa and Yori thank God for, since twins with different genders disagree with each other quite a lot. Hikari on the other hand, is a shy girl that usually likes to hide behind a book during break time. Her twin brother always encourages her to join other children in the class, but unlike her brother, she prefers to read in a quiet corner.

First day at New School

It was a Monday evening, and Hikaru and Hikari Aidou got out of their family car and stood outside their new school anxiously. Their Father's job in the Vampire Council has been relocated, so the twins had to transfer to another school.

Yori got out of the car as well, and held both her twins' hands and lead them into the lavish-looking building.

In there stood a nice looking lady at the reception desk. She handed out leaflets to the children's parents and showed the children which class they would be in.

Yori went up to the female teacher, and received a leaflet. She sighed in relief as she found out that both her children are in the same class. Before leaving her twins with their new teacher, she gave both twins a kiss on the cheek and then headed for the doors.

Hikari shakes nervously as they were about to enter their new class. Hikaru wrapped his hand around his sister's and smiled at her reassuringly.

The twins sat on the same table next to each other and answered to their names as the teacher went through the register.

"Alright class, I am Miss Fujiko," she announced, "All you children are in Class A, which is basically the top class of Year 1."

Many proud smiles could be seen on the children's faces as they heard the two words, "top class".

"Today, we are going to start off with Art and then Maths before break. Am I understood?" said the teacher.

"Yes, Miss," the children replied in unison.

"Good," the teacher said with a smile.

After Art class, the children were issued out Maths textbooks for second period.

"Now class, today in maths, we are going to go over the times table up to 5," announced the Miss Fujiko, "Now let's see what you bright children already know."

"Yumiko, do you know what is 5x3?" the teacher asked a girl with long, curly, brunette hair tied in two perfect plaits.

"The answer is 15, Miss," the girl answered with a proud smile, and looked at her classmates arrogantly.

The teacher was pretty surprised herself that the child knew the answer, and gave her an impressed nod.

"Hikari, what is 3x4?" the teacher asked.

"Ehh…," Hikari could hear herself breathing faster, her heart thumping harder as her nervousness started to take over.

Hikaru looked at her and mouthed "twelve" to her.

"Ehh…7?" she answered, unsure of herself.

Hikaru threw his hand over his head in shame, and Yumiko sniggered followed by the rest of the class.

Hikari turned beet red and slid down her seat, trying to hide from the class. What was wrong with her? She knew her three times table perfectly! In fact, she knew her times table all the way up to 10! How could she make such a humiliating mistake!

"Okay, now I'm just going to issue out a sheet of multiplication sums to all of you, just to see how well you all know your times table!" said Miss Fujiko.

"Awww," the whole class whined as Miss Fujiko handed out the sheets. They separated their tables in case people copied.

After spending half an hour completing the maths sheet, the bell rang for break time. Miss Fujiko collected in the sheets and prepared to mark them during break.

Streams of children rushed out of the classroom door as some boys crowded round the sand-pit, and some girls played double-dutch on the green, grass floor.

"Hikari-chan, hurry up!"Hikaru called as he made his way to the playground sand pit with some of the boys from their class.

Hikari looked at her brother hesitantly and then decided to follow since there was nowhere else to go.

As Hikari was about to sit down on the edge of the sand pit next to Hikaru, she felt somebody bump into her.

"Whoops, sorry!" It was Yumiko and her little "posse".

"I don't think that somebody who doesn't know their 3 times table should be playing outside, but should be talking to the times table poster on the wall in class," she laughed.

"I do so know the 3 times table!" Hikari argued back.

"Oh yeah? Prove it then!" Yumiko sneered.

"I…I…I," Hikari stuttered and looked at all the people looking at her, waiting for an answer to Yumiko's request.

If it wasn't for her nervousness, then she wouldn't have messed up! If it wasn't for her shyness and low-esteem, this wouldn't have happened! Hikari wanted to curl into a ball and disappear from the face of the earth.

"You see? She doesn't know her times table after all!" said Yumiko nastily, "I guess the saying "blondes are thick" really is true!"

Hikari looked away and felt tears welling up to her eyes, but she refused to cry.

"Hey you! Leave my sister alone!" cried Hikaru as he stepped in front of Hikari defensively.

"What did you just say?" he growled.

"I said that blondes really are thick!" she said confidently, not afraid of Hikaru.

"Oh yeah? You want a challenge?" asked Hikaru daringly.

"Alright, then!" cried Yumiko and accepted the challenge.

"Let's play "Cowboy and Indians" then," said Hikaru.

By then, every child in the playground was gathered round Hikaru and Yumiko.

"Nii-chan, let's just leave it!" Hikari cried as she grabbed Hikaru by the arm.

"No, this is for Hikari-chan!" Hikaru said with determination, and shrugged his sister's arm off of himself.

Hikari sighed then sat back to watch her brother and Yumiko's "showdown".

"Ok, both of us stand back to back to each other, then somebody from the crowd will give us a multiplication sum," Hikaru explained, "The first person who turns around and says "bang, bang!" and then answer the sum will win."

"That's easy!" cried Yumiko.

"We'll see about that!" said Hikaru, "The best out of 5!"

So then the challenge went on. Hikaru won one, then Yumiko, Hikaru again and then Yumiko. It was the last sum and it was sudden death. Both contestants had a drop of sweat running down their faces as the one who wins this would be victorious.

There was a lot of suspension.

Kaito, a boy from the class, suddenly piped up and shouted out the last multiplication sum.

"What is 3x4x5?!"

"Bang, bang! 60!"

"………."

The whole playground was silent.

"Yumiko wins!" cried Kaito as he held up Yumiko's hand.

"See, I told you I would win!" she smiled and put up the "loser" sign with her fingers to Hikaru.

Hikaru glared at Yumiko and clenched his fist together with anger.

The bell rang for the end of break, and all the children went inside.

All Hikaru and Hikari could hear was whispering and sniggering in class. They sat back in their seats as Miss Fujiko entered the classroom with a pile of paper she marked during break.

"Ok, class! I have marked your maths sheets during break!" she called, "And we have two stars who got full marks in it!"

The whole class sat up in excitement, ready to be congratulated if their names were announced.

Yumiko smiled confidently and glanced at the Aidou twins.

"Funnily enough, they're both brothers and sisters!" said Miss Fujiko, "Our two stars are Hikaru and Hikari Aidou!"

"WHAT?" shouted Yumiko as she looked at the teacher with disbelief.

"What's the matter, Yumiko?" the surprised teacher asked.

"I should be the star!" she cried, "They both cheated! They looked at each other's papers!"

"I don't think so, Yumiko," said the teacher, "we separated our seats before we started the test."

Yumiko eyed the twins angrily, and Hikaru and Hikari just stuck their tongues at her.

"Don't worry, you only got one wrong, Yumiko-chan," mocked Hikaru.

"Better luck next time!"Hikari teased.

So through the whole school day, Yumiko spent her day glaring at the twins in class, and sobbing in the girls' bathroom.

Hikaru and Hikari just shrugged their shoulders at her, and went up to Miss Fujiko's desk to get an "Excellent!" sticker from her at the end of the day.
