Chapter 9
It's been almost two weeks and Suoh, or should I say Tamaki-sempai, hasn't stopped bugging me and Hikaru about our game. He came into our class this afternoon and kept bragging on about how we're different! Hikaru parts his hair to the right, Hikaru is right handed, Kaoru is pigeon toed! That last one made me furious!
Now we were sitting on the windowsill of our classroom, looking out of the window. We did this a lot because we mostly had a lot of things on our minds and we wanted to daze off…not that we already did that during classes.
After several silent minutes, Hikaru spotted something…a girl.
"Oh…looks like she's here," Hikaru said.
I followed his gaze out the window and saw the young girl. "Oh…you're right."
We walked down the hallways and headed outside. Hikaru got into position, and I walked up to the girl.
"I'm sorry, were you waiting long?" I asked. "I read your letter."
"Kaoru…" the girl said in a sweet innocent voice.
I held up her letter. "I'm sorry, but…I'm Hikaru." Her eyes widened and she looked the other way, afraid to look me in the eyes. "Do you think…you could like me instead?" She gasped. "I should confess, I always thought you were cute…and besides, Kaoru's already found someone else."
"W-well…I guess, if you're okay with it then I am too Hikaru…"
I smirked. "I see…then, Hikaru!" The girl's eyes widened. "She said she'd be fine with you instead!"
From behind the trees, Hikaru walked out and smirked at the girl.
"Oh well, should've known," I said. "You may have a sweet and pretty face, but you're a terrible person."
"By saying you'll take either of us…" Hikaru said.
"You're really saying you don't want either of us," I finished.
The girl's eyes were overflowing with tears. "You're mean!" she said as she took off crying.
Hikaru walked up next to me and took the letter from my hands.
"No, you got it all wrong. You're mean." He took the letter between his fingers and began trying to tear the piece of paper.
Then…all of a sudden…
"The one about to rip the letter is Hikaru!"
We were shocked. We turned around to see Tamaki-sempai standing before us, pointing and smiling.
"But…how…did you know?" Hikaru asked.
"I got it right? Did I get it right?!" the dork asked.
"Your reasoning?"
"Intuition!"
Hikaru and I just stared at him in confusion and moaned.
"No way! I thought we already told you that you weren't allowed to just guess randomly!" Hikaru said.
Tamaki-sempai chuckled. "Yeah, sorry about that…but it's still too early for me to tell. I mean you both are identical! But it all depends on how you choose to look at it. Being so identical is a talent in enough itself. So from now on, we should try to perfect the whole 'two-in-one Hitachiin brothers act. But you mustn't forget, that you're also independent beings with your own personalities. And while you're doing that, I'll keep bugging you until I can tell you apart."
"That doesn't make any sense!" Hikaru said.
"It's contradictory!" I finished.
"And what's wrong with that? Haven't you realized yet? You two are contradictory; it's what they call…individuality." We kept staring at him. "That's why I think we should have that act of yours. It'll be a lot of fun…you'll meet lots of new girls and friends. Yes…you'll make lots of friends!"
"Hold on!" Hikaru said furious. "Meeting friends? Fun? You think this is all a game to you, don't you Suoh?!"
Tamaki-sempai looked at my brother confused. "I…don't understand…"
"You really think we contradict ourselves because we think it's fun?! You have no idea what we're going through!"
I looked at my brother worried. "Hikaru…"
"I-I really don't understand what you're saying…"
Hikaru tightened his fists. "You would never understand how we're feeling…"
"Hikaru…" I knew what he was trying to say, he just didn't know if it was right to tell other people and let them into our world.
Tamaki-sempai put a hand on his shoulder. "Something seems to be troubling you…why don't you tell me what's wrong?"
Before either of us could answer, Hikaru took off and ran towards our limo. I chased after him, and sneered back at the confused sempai.
Hikaru didn't need to tell this idiot anything…why should he have to get involved in our problems?
As we got into the car, the older boy sighed and walked back into the school. He roamed the halls and walked into the principles office.
"Ah, Mr. Suoh…is there something I can assist you with?" the Principle asked.
"I need to look at someone's file."
"Uh…but Mr. Suoh, we're not allowed to give out that information to other stude-"
"It's an emergency!" Tamaki-sempai shouted. The principle stared at him in shock, nodded, and led him to the filing cabinets.
"Here's the key to open the cabinets…hope you find what you're looking for."
"Thanks," Tamaki-sempai said, taking the key from the elder. He looked down the cabinet names and stopped at H. He stuck the key inside the keyhole, twisted it, and opened the cabinet filled with files ordering from G-H.
"Hitachiin…Hitachiin…Ha!" He pulled out a big file that had the twins' names on it, and opened it up. "Let's see what's up with those two."
He started off by reading Hikaru's profile. His name, age, sex, description…but it all seemed to ordinary.
"O…kay…nothing out of the ordinary there." He went to Kaoru's profile and started to read that. Again, he read the name, age, sex, and description. "This isn't getting me-" Then he stopped when he came upon a part of Kaoru's profile that he had no idea about.
There in the description print read:
Diagnosed with a brain tumor at the age of 3.
The elderly boy's eyes widened.
