The Curse I Never Had 2
Chapter 12: Feel the Love
Last time – Kira and Kiri were kicked out of their home and have come to live with Shigure and company!!
Heylo everyone! So…what do you guys really think of this? I might have mentioned before that I set this story up to have sagas that have their own climax and endings, but are all really building up to the real climax and ending that is SHOCKING!! This saga should be a nice break since the four main characters do not include Midori and Haru.
Omniscient
Kira and Kiri settled into their new home in their new room. They decided to share because there was truly only one room left after they came and wanted to keep it open. Besides, twins never want to be apart. . .
As they finished setting everything up, Kira flopped onto one of the spare beds and said, "Kiri…do you believe in love at first sight?"
"I was gonna ask you the same thing."
"Great minds think alike," Kira replied with a smile.
"So…who is it?" Kiri questioned.
Kira fell silent. Yeah, they were twins, but it was still hard to speak of such things.
"Well…" Kiri prodded.
Kira remained silent. Then she blurted out, "Shigure!"
"Hatori!" Kiri blurted.
"No, that's not what I said."
"That's my answer," Kiri said.
"Well, at least it's not the same guy. Imagine that."
"We'd kill each other in a heartbeat," Kiri remarked.
Then together they said, "Nothing happened. Say nothing. Twin Promise."
"So, let's go downstairs," Kiri suggested.
Downstairs a world of surprises awaited them. Ayame had come, but Mine was there too. That could only mean one thing. . .
"HELLO EVERYONE! I HAVE COME WITH MY BEAUTIFUL ASSISTANT MINE TO BRING ALL OF THESE BEAUTIFUL CLOTHES TO THE WOMEN OF THIS HOUSE!" Ayame was very lively for his loud speech.
"Hello, Aya!" Shigure said walking out of his office. "These two young girls are the new additions to our home. Aren't they gorgeous?"
"Yes, indeed," Ayame replied eyeing them.
"And they'll look wonderful in our new line of clothing!" Mine exclaimed.
"Mine, dear, we only brought clothes in Midori and Hotaru's sizes. These two lovely young women are thinner than Midori and definitely bigger than Hotaru," Aya commented.
"Oh…that's right. Well, then we'll just have to take their measurements and come back in a couple of weeks." Mine and Aya both pulled out tape measures; they had the glare of fire in their eyes.
Midori and Hotaru had come downstairs during all of the commotion.
Hotaru exclaimed, "Clothes!!"
Ayame came over and answered, "Yes they are! And these ones right here are yours." He pointed at a rack that had about seven full outfits on it.
Hotaru's eyes grew big.
"Go on, go try them on," Mine prodded.
Little Hotaru took one of the outfits to her room to put on.
While Hotaru was changing, Aya showed Midori the clothes they had brought for her.
"Thank you Aya-nii!" she exclaimed. "These are beautiful, perfect for this fashion season."
"We do aim to please," Aya said boisterously.
Hotaru came down the stairs in a cute purple (murasaki) dress made of bamboo fabric. (A/N: yeah, that might sound weird. Let me explain – they take bamboo trees and grind it down and create a soft material that is eco friendly and easy to dye. Something I learned about recently. Bamboo trees grow back in two years, verses normal trees and other means of making clothes. I don't think that bamboo shrinks.)
"You're adorable, Hotaru-chan!" Midori praised. She picked her daughter up and gave her a big hug.
"What's going on?" Haru had taken a nap and had just gotten up.
Midori showed off Hotaru to him.
"Ah…so Aya and Mine are here with clothes for the season. Well, my litter girl, you're adorable. If I could I'd give you a hug."
"Haru…" Midori started.
"Oh, right, right. I'll give you a hug."
Haru embraced his daughter and gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"You forgot, didn't you Daddy?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes, Daddy forgot," Haru admitted. "And he won't do it again."
"My, my, would you look at the time. Mine, we really should be leaving now. We have clothes to make!" Aya reminded.
"Goodbye, Aya!" Shigure and Ayame had their secret "handshake" before Mine and him departed.
"Don't forget to try all of the clothes on!" Ayame and Mine shouted. Add off they went.
At Hatori's office
Why is she still on my mind…?
No, this isn't right. I'm over thirty…
Hatori had been writing in his journal. He usually wrote down what he had to do during his working day, but sometimes he wrote about other things.
Aya should be coming here soon, he thought.
We went to go use the restroom and start dinner, leaving the journal in plain sight, but it was closed.
Ayame walked in and when he saw that Hatori wasn't in view, he decided to look around. Right on Hatori's desk was the small black journal.
Let's see if there's anything interesting in here.
As he turned the pages there hadn't been anything of great interest.
Akito is sick again. Should rest for four days, etc. But today's date got his attention.
She's always on my mind. It's so wrong. I'm way over thirty and she's just nineteen. I'm no pedophile. I barely even know her. But still…I'll just have to get over it. Ki–
Hatori was in the doorway, looking Ayame in the face.
Ha ha! Great place to end, eh? Review!!!!
