Hi mina, sorry I took such a long time to update this story, for the first time, I experience a writer's block... gosh it's really annoying, I can't update any of my stories. Anyways before the story starts, I wanna thank a couple of readers who had reviewed.
MistressKC, Emberlion, Animefreak1586, Anonymously Cute-Kaikawaii, Kae- I'm not sure when I will post up the sequel of Miss Match, but I will try asap, Digital Lavender- Well, there is one similarity with Yuiiko and Hanamichi which are their eyes, they both had the same brown eyes, though not all siblings are that identical. Take me for example, I have brown hair but my sisters' hair is black, I'm very fair but my sister is on the very tan side even without sun bathing, though our eyes are quite similar. So it doesn't mean that when you are siblings, they have to really look alike. But thanks for pointing out to me that it's confusing. Maybe I will try fixing it. Anyways I hope you enjoy this chapter. :)
I hope everyone enjoys this chapter.
Chapter 3
After practice Rukawa rushed home instead of staying for more extra practice because, his parents decided to bring his younger sister to 'Sweet' a western restaurant where her favourite singer was singing that night. It was her birthday and he had promised her that he would celebrate with her.
I guess I will have to wake up earlier the next morning to practice. Rukawa thought to himself with a sigh.
His sister could always get her way, to Rukawa worst nightmare. He always had to give in to her, no matter how well he argued at the beginning in the end, she wins. Her sister was a brat, but that didn't mean that he hated her. In fact, he cared about her very much even though he never showed it.
When he cycled into the garden of his house, the first thing he saw was, his younger sister bursting out from the house with a big grin!
"Oniichan! Oniichan!" She shouted. "You are back!!!!! Great!!!! Otosan! Okasan!!!! Lets go!!! Oniichan is back!!!"
"At least let oniichan change, Sito." Rukawa said tonelessly.
"Five minutes!!!! I don't want to miss Symphony opening!!!!"
"Symphony?
"My favourite singer!!!! She call herself Symphony, no one knows her real name!"
"Whatever..." Rukawa mumbled entering the house in a slow mode.
"Hurry, hurry!!!!"
"Sito, give your brother a break." Mother appeared at the door. "He just got back from basketball practice, he should be very tired."
Sito pouted for a moment, and a huge smile came back to her face.
"Oniichan, did you get me a present?"
Rukawa groaned inwardly, though his expression impassive.
Yuiiko swept a brush across her lips slowly, applying a light pink gloss over it. She stared at herself in the mirror as she put the brush back into the bottle of lip gloss. After a make over she looked very different. No longer the little school girl stared back at her.
She had her long straight hair tied up into a messy bun on top of her head, with spikes standing everywhere and two plaits dangling at each side of her face. Besides a fashionable hairdo, she was dressed in a sleeveless blue mid-riff with a v-neck showing her cleavage slightly and a black mini see through lace skirt. Beneath the skirt she wore a pair of tight fitting black shorts. She wore a pair of high black boots that reached up to her knees with white shoelaces. Her make-up was shimmering and light. Nobody will recognize her in this make over.
"Hey Symphony, you will be on in another ten minutes!"
A bitter smiled formed on her shinny lips.
Rukawa watched his younger sister dragged their parents into the restaurant as he walked slowly behind them, both his hands pushed deep into his pants pockets. The place called 'Sweet' was packed with a lot of people to his surprise, young boys, girls and old gathering at the entrance to get in.
It was a good thing that they had already made reservations for this occasion so they were allowed to go in without having to wait. Rukawa could see his little sister almost jumping up and down as they walked to their reserve table right in front of the stage. He was surprised that a restaurant actually came out with this technique to get more customers.
"Oniichan, Symphony will be coming out soon!!!!" Sito cried bouncing on her seat happily. "Had you ever hear her sing before?"
"If it were the songs you always played in your room, yes I had heard her sing!"
Sito grinned.
"Ladies and gentlemen!" A man in an elegant tux walked out to the stage addressing everyone. The crowd in the restaurant became silent. "Symphony will be coming up next while mina enjoys their dinner, please give her a welcome applause."
Sito clapped enthusiastically while Rukawa sat on his seat almost dozing off.
"She is coming out, she is coming out!!!!!" Sito cried grabbing hold of her brother's sleeves shaking him.
Rukawa almost fell off the chair as Sito shook him violently. The crowd soon started to cheer and whistle and the restaurant lights dimmed. Reluctantly, he looked up the stage, and saw a dark silhouette of a very nice looking figure of a girl. Then when the sport lights went on he was spellbound. For the second time he was staring into a pair of sparkling clear brown eyes, a pair of very familiar brown eyes.
Rukawa watched the girl, Symphony dance as she sang unable to tear his gaze off her. Her movements were swift and graceful whilst she was singing a fast song. Her body moved to the rhythm of the song perfectly and her voice was simply unforgettable. She sounded a lot better than all the time he heard his sister played her songs on the stereo.
After the song Yuiiko bowed to the audience which were now on their feet shouting and applauding. Before the curtains fall, she saw the same boy she brought to the nurse office at one of the front tables staring at her not applauding. She had a habit not to look at the audience while she sang as she stared off to space, this was to help her from being nervous. Always after she finished her song she will look around as the curtains fall. She was very surprised to see a familiar face in the room.
Rukawa thought their eyes met for a moment as the curtains fell. He thought he saw a brief moment of surprised as she looked at him before her face become void from emotions. That reminds him of someone he had met that day in school. He frowned slightly at the thought.
It is impossible. He thought staring at the red curtains which had closed the stage, his mind twirling in a whirlpool of confusion.
What is Rukawa doing here? Yuiiko thought, feeling slightly anxious. Did he recognize me? He looked at me as if he knew who I was. But it is impossible, no one and I mean not even mother could recognized me in this make over. He couldn't have...
Yuiiko sang a four more songs and finally retreated to her changing room feeling tired. As she finished her third song, she saw Rukawa and his family leaving the restaurant to her relieve, but she could not help but notice a smaller girl pouting and refusing to go home which brought a small smile to her face.
She looked at the clock on the wall which showed her, almost one at night. No wonder she was feeling so tired. She had school the next day too, she hoped she would be able to wake up.
Cleaning the makeup off her face and pulled the ribbon and pins tying her hair up to let her hair fall down towards her waist she sighed and looked at her school girl reflection. Seeing that younger girl reminded her something in her past which brought pain to her heart.
Yuiiko's thoughts about her past...
"Oniichan, you promise me that you will always protect me?" Yuiiko looked up towards her much taller red headed brother. "You will really do that!!!!"
"Of course, who tell you to be my younger sister?" Sakuragi grinned down at his grinning younger sister. "I will protect you with my life."
Yuiiko laughed as Sakuragi grabbed her hand in his hand and they made their way home.
End of Yuiiko's thought.
Yuiiko frowned as her vision blurred when tears appeared from her lower eyelids, staring at the mirror. Picking up a unclose tube of lipstick she threw it at the mirror as the lipstick splat onto the mirror creating a red blob and it slipped down onto the dressing table leaving a long trail of red line on the mirror.
Wiping the tears away roughly with the back of her hands she took her deep breath. She was not going to cry. She had already shed too much tears in the past.
"Hanamichi," She said softly and wrathfully. "You lied. You weren't there to protect me five years ago when I was in trouble..."
So this is Yuiiko's double identity? How's the idea? Hope everyone is alright with it. In later chapters, I will explain more why Yuiiko doesn't want anyone to know she can sing that well and also a well known singer!!!! Slowly, why she hates her brother so much will also reveal!!! But anyways for now, everyone has to be patient yah!!!! Well till next chapter!!!!
Pls review!!! Thank you!!!!
