Rose Tint My World
"They sure are beautiful."
"Yes, yes they are."
Two newborns, a boy and a girl, twins, one to be taken home, one to be given up for adoption. A decision that never should have happened. A decision that altered a destiny.
16 years later
"Beep, beep, beep" As an alarm clock goes off a bundle of blankets starts to come alive and an arm reaches out from under the blankets, grabbed the alarm clock, and chucked it at the wall.
"Mommy, Columbia killed another alarm clock," a little voice called from downstairs.
"Columbia, get up or you'll be late for school again."
Tha blankets slowly come off and a crimson haired girl surfaces, her eyes struggle to adjust to the horrid sunlight and when they did, they opened to reveal an unearthy emerald green colour.
After getting up, making her bad slopply, and doing her make-up she went digging through her laundry for something to wear.
'I knew I should have done my laundry last night.'
She made do with a pair of black leather pants, a red tank top that said, "I'm out of bed, what more do you want with me?" written in silver and black, and her black leather bikers jacket. You know which one, the one that your parents tell you not to buy, but you buy it anyway. Then she head down to the chaos.
At the bottom of the stairs, her two youngest siblings were running around the kitchen while her mother tryed to get three other siblings ready for school. She stepped in front of the two running around and grabbed them around the waist carrying them back to the table to finish breakfast.
"Come on Red, you never let us have fun."
She smiled at the comment.
"Yeah, you used to be fun."
"Oh, I'll show you fun..."
"Red, get out to the car or I'm leaving with or without you."
"Yeah, I'm coming. No running, okay, or no playing with my drums tonight."
"Okay."
Columbia was always good with children, but it was her older brother Andros who gave her the most trouble, he acted like he was five rather than 17, but she knew he wouldn't intentionally leave.
Right as Columbia was walking out the door, her mom stopped her.
"Cole, do something with you hair today, for me."
She sighed, her mom always wanted her to look nice, but that wasn't her. Columbia grabbed her black messanger bag and her black biker boots and headed out the door. Before she left she stopped.
"Will a ponytail do, even thought it will fall out."
"Sure, least it's something."
And with that she was out the door and in Andros' car.
"'Bout time, was she picking on your hair again?"
"Yeah, same ole', same ole'."
She quickly put her hair up, and as her brother pulled out she put her boots on.
Even though she didn't like school, she liked that fact that they changed the dress code to casual wear instead of those stupid uniforms.
When they got to the school, Columbia was out of the car before Andros could even park.
"Next time wait till I stop."
She just waved back at him and went off on her own.
As she walked down the corridor she got stares from everyone. Columbia always did and it was usually from the same group of girls. Her friends had told her they were mad because Columbia was trying to look like Shuichi Minamino, which was complete bull. Her hair was naturally the kind of red and she didn't wear contacts so that was her true eye colour, she couldn't help the way she looked.
Plus, she had never seen this Shuichi that she supposedly looked like and if she did who knows what would happen. It wouldn't be violent, okay it would be violent if one of his stupid ass fangirls attacked her, but that's if and only if.
She continued down the corridor and when she reached her locker Yusuke Urameshi and his friends were blocking her way.
"Ya know your gonna have to figure out another place to stay eventually Yusuke."
"Yeah, but for now I'm here."
"Yeah, but could you move for just one minute?"
With that Yusuke and his friends moved over and as they did she noticed a boy with mid-back long, crimson hair and emerald eyes, just like her.
'I wonder if that's him.'
At the same time Shuichi or Kurama noticed Columbia and how her hair and eyes matched his. Then that spark went through him.
'Why do I feel as if I know her?'
Columbia noticed him staring at her, so she decided to get her answers. She motioned for him to come over by her.
Yusuke and the others looked over at the two, but Hiei seemed to be the only really thinking outside the box.
'I wonder if they're related, but Kurama never mentioned having a sister, ever.'
When Kurama went over to Columbia she grabbed him and looked closely at his eyes and his hair to see if any where fake and they weren't.
"Um, Red, what are you doing to him?"
Columbia quickly turned around just in time to bump into Andros.
"Nothing, nothing at all. Just talking with an old buddy."
"Yeah, sure."
Columbia lost her track of thought and as she walked off she started spazing out.
"I need a haircut again, my hair's to freaking long!"
Andros rolled his eyes at his sister.
'I wonder if mom will ever tell her.'
He shrugged and headed off to class.
At the end of the day Columbia decided that waiting for her brother was a waste of time and that she's walk home instead. When she reached the outer gates of the "Hell" School, she heard someone calling her name and when she turned around she saw Shuichi running towards her.
"Can I help you Shuichi?"
"Um, could you, would you like to come over to my house for a little bit?"
"What's the catch?"
"No catch, I swear. I just wanted to see if you would like to come over."
"Sure, why not, just if one of your psycho followers comes after me, I hold you responsible."
"I'd hold myself responsible too."
That weird calm came before they broke into laughter and started for his house.
When they got there, Columbia had this strange feeling in the pit of her stomach. Shuichi noticed this and wondered what was wrong.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, just thinking."
"You like to think, don't you?"
"Yeppers, I'm a little thinker. Love to think and space out."
"Don't we all," he said as he lead her in.
When they got inside Columbia got this "at home" feeling. Just then a woman, who had to be Shuichi's mother walked in.
"Shuichi, you're later than..."
"Mother, this is Columbia, a friend of mine from school. Mother are you alright?"
Shuichi's mother seemed fasinated with Columbia, she just stared at her with a loving look in her eyes.
"Mother?"
"Yes, what is it Shuichi?
"This is Columbia."
"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Minamino."
"You to Columbia."
Then she walked off.
"That was odd, my mother's usually not like that."
"Maybe I have a presence about me."
In the other room, an overwhelmed Shiori stood looking out the window.
'I can't believe she lives so close and she knows Shuichi'
Later on in the evening Columbia noticed what time it was.
"Geez, my mom's gonna kill me, I'm really, really late."
"You want me to walk you home."
"Nah, I'll just run fast."
"See you tomorrow then."
"Yeah, see ya."
As Columbia left, Shiori came back out into the room.
"Shuichi, did she already leave?"
"Yeah, you just missed her."
"Okay."
"Mother are you alright?"
"Yes, I am."
And she walked back out of the room again.
'My little girl is back.'
This is honestly my very first deep story, but trust me it will get a whole lot better. I can guarentee it.
I swear I wrote this whole first chapter out in an hour and a half and typed it out just as fast, you can tell that my Spring Break is really boring. I originally got the idea for this story after me and my mom, yes my mom, watched the Yu Yu Hakusho movie: Poltergeist Report. My mom told me if my hair was lighter red tint I could pass off as Kurama's twin. I was shocked by my mom's comment. She then went off to say that I came out of the TV and I just sat there stunned as my mom laughed and joked about me to my face. Just so ya know, my mom never jokes, she hardly smiles, and now she watches anime and she can make fun of me. GEEZ! I always thought I was the weird one, guess not.
Anyway, this story is a one time offer, if I don't get any reviews than I won't continue this 'cause I have other things I would like to write and I don't wanna keep writing this if no one's gonna read it, so if you read and review than I thank you!
Enjoy!
I'm out.
Lonny
