Kazuko still couldn't get the image of that weird guy running around town in his underwear. Hana and Kyoko said he was a student at their school and that it wasn't anything odd about what they saw. Kyoko slid the door open and immediately regretted it.
"LITTLE SISTER!"
Yuzuhira, her big sister, wrapped her arms around her tightly and yanked her into the room. Yuzuhira had her arms wrapped around her neck and had her face buried in her breasts. Kazuko felt the familiar panic setting in when her oxygen was quickly cut off. Kazuko pulled her face away to get a gulp of air but was brought right back to her sister's chest.
"How was your morning?! Did you eat breakfast? I feel like I haven't seen you all day!"
Kazuko used all her strength and pulled herself away from her very clingy sister.
"It's only been an hour!" Kazuko gasped in as much oxygen as she could. Her sister stared at her with hearts in her eyes and her hands clasped together over her chest. Kazuko straightened her clothes and hair.
She moved around her sister and sat at her desk next to the window, her sister following her as if she were floating. Kazuko turned and looked out of the window. Her sister was next to her asking weird questions and fawning over her. She's always been like that. Since she could remember her older sister had spoiled her rotten and always expressed intense affection for her. As the years went by she began to fell more irritation at her sister for acting that way and not being normal. Normal.
Kazuko's gray eyes widen momentarily before she returned her attention back to her sister who was still talking nonsense in the background.
"Yuzu," she began, "have you noticed anything weird lately?"
Yuzuhira abruptly stopped and raised a delicate gray eyebrow.
"What do you mean," she said crossing her arms under her chest, "is someone bothering you?"
Kazuko blew a puff of air. Her sister seemed to think she was a fragile little child still.
"No one is bothering me Yuzu," Kazuko said turning her attention back toward the window, "it's just that there's just weird stuff happening lately and I thought maybe you noticed something too."
Yuzuhira shrugged and placed her hands on her hips.
"I haven't noticed anything weird lately," she said, "maybe it's just your imagination."
Kazuko ignored her sister. Of course, she wouldn't notice anything weird. She was weird.
"But you know," Kazuko suddenly heard her sister begin, "I have felt as if someone has been watching me."
Kazuko quickly turned to Yuzuhira who had a very serious look on her face.
"I felt like that this morning."
Yuzuhira's face was deep and brooding. She was worried. They were daughters of a rich and successful couple. Their father was an extremely successful administrative doctor and their mother was, what she referred to herself as, an S-list celebrity an actress-singer. To be followed or even stalked wouldn't be unheard of. Kazuko and Yuzuhira both had their share of stories from almost being kidnapped or stalked by someone for ransom.
It was installed in them at a very early age not to trust anyone but each other and their parents. They were forced to treat friends and distant family members coldly and because of that they never really had close friends. They even have had self-defense classes like Ju Jitsu and deadly fighting like Muay Thai for precautionary measures. However, those classes were kept a secret to have the upper hand in an assault. They took those classes a while ago and hadn't taken another one.
Yuzuhira's eyebrows rose when the school bell rung, signaling the beginning of the school day.
"Well," her older sister said, "Keep your eyes open."
With that Yuzuhira moved a row and a few seats back to her seat. Even though her sister was a third year in Namimidori Academy, she and Kazuko had the same first classes because Kazuko was too advanced for her first-year classes. The school had even promised her parents that she would graduate early with academic honors at the rate she was going.
Still, she couldn't shake the feeling...like something was going to change.
