I now know what I want to do when I finish this fic. I'm not telling though, it's a secret.
Chapter Begins
Asami tapped her finger lightly against her desk, staring at the clock at the other end of the classroom. School would be ending soon and she would have to meet her sister in the girl's bathroom at the end of the hallway. She couldn't believe that they were really going to switch places. What would happen if one of the boys noticed the difference? After all, not even twins are exactly alike.
Asami wondered what it would be like going out for ice cream with Eiji Kikumaru. He seemed to be pretty excitable the first time they met and she wondered if he was always like that. Maybe he would act differently in her presence while they were out in public. Or maybe he would be even more excitable than before. She really hoped it would be the former and not the latter. Being the quiet girl in class, it was only fitting that she wouldn't want to hang around somebody who was so bouncy and childish. Hopefully it wouldn't be too bad.
Then her thoughts drifted off to Fuji. He was quiet most of the time and he seemed to be a nice person; although, sometimes he would scare her. She had noticed not too long ago that every time he had struck a conversation with her, his eyes would wander to one place: her hands. At least, she thought that's what he was looking at, but who could really tell when he had his eyes closed all the time? She wondered for hours what his problem was. Was she getting a rash on her hands she couldn't see herself? Did her nails look silly with the nail polish her sister had put on it for her? …Did he have some kind of hand fetish? Whatever the answer was, she certainly couldn't find it.
"Class, please put away your books into their appropriate shelves," the teacher said as the final bell of the day rang.
Asami stood up, gathering up her stuff and slinging her bag over her shoulder. Glancing around the classroom, she was glad that Fuji wasn't here. It would make it less nerve wracking for her to make the journey to the bathroom without having him on her tail. Placing the book on the shelf, she quickly made her way out of the now emptied classroom and scurried to the bathroom, weaving around people in the hallway.
"Not trying to get away now are you?"
She let out a startled yelp, her hand quickly covering her mouth as she turned to the one person she was hoping wouldn't find her. How the heck was he so fast?
"Kazue-san, we're going to your house to work on our project, aren't we?"
Asami stared blankly at Fuji for what seemed to be forever before nodding dumbly. She blinked a couple of times, getting her voice back for only a moment. "U-uh, I have to use the bathroom first so…" She trailed off, turning around as she stalked back down the hallway.
'Please don't follow me, please don't follow me, please don't follow me,' she begged in her mind.
"Saa, okay then, I'll just wait for you outside the bathroom door."
'Darn it!'
Asami gave Fuji a weak, forced smile as she nodded. Once they got to the door, she gave him a quick glance, watching as he leaned up against the wall, his creepy—or at least, in her opinion—smile still plastered on his face. As she pushed the door open, she gave a huge sigh, seeing that her sister had already made it into the bathroom before she did. It would be disastrous if she had come with Fuji standing at the door.
"Asami, finally, I thought you would never come," Himeko said as she turned to look at the younger twin. She had already pulled her single ponytail out and tied her hair into two pigtails that matched her sister's. Asami blinked, her mind making her think about the times their mother would dress them exactly alike. It had been their idea to do their hair differently so they wouldn't be mistaken for each other. "Well, aren't you going to tie your hair back?"
"R-right," Asami faltered, pulling out her pigtails, "Are you sure this is a good idea? We might be caught."
"Of course it's a good idea," Himeko smiled, picking Asami's bag off the floor where she had placed it, "We won't be caught. Look, we practically look like each other now!"
Both of the girls turned to their reflections in the mirror. It was true that Asami did look a lot like Himeko now, and vice versa, but she didn't feel like Himeko. She was still the unsure girl who didn't want to go through with the plan. But anything to make a sister happy, right?
"I saw you and Fuji-kun walking over here together so I'm betting that he's still outside waiting for you," Himeko said as she smoothened out some stray strands of hair, "I'll go out and say something like I have to get something out of my locker or whatever. Meanwhile, I want you to wait a couple minutes, okay? After we leave, head straight for the front gates; Kikumaru-kun should be waiting." Himeko turned to look at her sister, a wide grin on her face, "Doesn't this make you want to hum the Mission Impossible song?"
Asami smiled at her sister before both girls broke out into a fit of giggles. Wishing the oldest twin the best of luck, Asami watched as Himeko made her way towards the bathroom door. She could faintly hear her sister's soft voice humming along to the song she had just mentioned. Swinging Himeko's bag over her shoulder, Asami started counting the seconds until she would be able to go out into the open.
Later at the School Gates
Eiji Kikumaru hummed light heartedly to himself, swinging his body back and forth as he balanced on the balls of his feet. He had arrived at the front of the school not too long ago and was now waiting for a certain ebony haired girl. Watching as the crowds of people slowly left the school, the acrobat wondered if it was a good idea asking the girl out for ice cream. She seemed to be really into Fuji, but he didn't know if Fuji felt the same for her. It was always hard to figure out what the tensai was really thinking behind that smile of his.
"K-Kikumaru-san," he heard a voice behind him say.
"Nya, you came," he said excitedly, staring into her emerald green eyes with his own sapphire blue ones.
"O-of course," Asami said, hoping it wasn't too obvious that she wasn't the one that the redhead was looking for. She smiled a sweet smile, hoping that he would be fooled, "Why wouldn't I come, Kikumaru-san?"
Eiji stared at the girl, his exterior giving off a warm smile and excitable mood, but inside he couldn't help but feel as if something was wrong with the girl before him. She seemed to be a bit shyer and a little less outgoing like she was the day that they had met face to face. He shrugged inwardly, his hand reaching out to grasp her own.
"Well then, come on Kazue-chan," he said, tugging her along, "I know a great ice cream parlor."
Meanwhile
Himeko hesitantly opened the door to the school building, her eyes quickly going towards the school gates. To her relief, her sister was nowhere to be found which meant that she had succeeded in finding Kikumaru. Opening the door wider, she stepped through, looking behind her to see that her beloved Fuji was following close behind. She noticed that he seemed to be staring at something and that the usual smile on his face was turned slightly upside down. She decided to question him about it as she made her way to her home with him on her tail.
"What's wrong Fuji-kun," she asked, smiling up at her favorite person, "I've never seen you frown before."
His frown faltered and he quickly replaced it with his usual smile. "It was nothing Kazue-san. I was just thinking about something."
"Oh, well if that's the case, we should talk while we walk then," she said excitedly, going off into a small rant.
As the girl spoke, Fuji couldn't help but let the frown slip back onto his face, his eyes immediately scrutinizing her hands. Something was different.
Chapter Ends
Well, there you go folks, a short, sweet update. Now THIS I can consider being a filler. Nothing much goes on in here.
Anyways, here's your job my dear readers. Tell me, who's "date" do you want to hear about first? Eiji and Asami's or Fuji and Himeko's? It's all up to you to decide my next move! See you all again!
