Chapter 2:

Due to four reviews, chapter 2 is up for reads. This time, it will be based on Haruno Chidori

Just as her shift was ending, Haruno Chidori couldn't help staring outside the shop, recalling what had happened a few hours ago.

/Flashback/

"Ano, please wake up?" Chidori begged as she was shaking a passed out Hideki hard, she could not shake that horrible feeling that he might or could not wake up again. As she was continued to shake him awake, just in front of her bosses who were very stunned at Hideki's reaction to Chidori's reply. She couldn't help recalling back the moment when she saw her late twin sister, Reiya, unable to wake up for eternity.

To her relief, Hideki give a groan, and opened his eyes, muttering some incomprehensive words. He did not notice her when he asked her lady boss what exactly happened, after her explanation, he managed to get up in a dazed manner. Although he remained in a dazed state when he left the shop, he even bought two boxes of cakes as well, still ignoring her at the same time.

She continued to gaze out of the window, till Yumi had to call out loudly to snap her out of her daze.

"Sorry, Manageress, I forgot about the time." Chidori apologized to Yumi who was looking at her with a bit of concern.

"Ano, Chidori san, are you thinking of Motosuwa san?" Ueda Hiroyasu asked Chidori.

"You mean the one who fainted on the spot? Hai, I don't understand why, I have never met him before and he just suddenly hugged me and then he just ignores me." Chidori replied, with a confused look. Sad looks filled both her bosses' faces.

"That you will have to ask Sempai, if he passes here again." Yumi replied quietly to Chidori, causing the latter to be very confused.

As Chidori headed back to her home, she couldn't help thinking about her deceased twin sister and the day it happened that really changed her life.

/Flashback/

"Chii, are you seeing my boyfriend?" A fourteen year old Reiya asked Chidori in their share bedroom. "If you are, you better stop it now." Reiya warned her.

"Sister, I'm not seeing or flirting with him, he mistook me as you as usual." Chidori replied to her twin.

"Liar!" Reiya yelled as she gave her twin a hard slap on the face, causing her to fall on the ground. Chidori rubbed the area of her face where the slap had landed.

"I saw you with him!" Reiya shouted at her, shaking with anger.

"I did not flirt with him, how could you not believe me, I hate you!" Chidori yelled as she ran out of the house in tears.

Chidori ran all the way to her mother's younger sister, Chitose's home, crying her heart out in her godmother's arms. 'I hate her so much, I'm always in her shadows, I tried to stand out from her and it always fail, I really wish that she does not exist at all.' She thought angrily in her heart.

A few days later …

"Miss Haruno, I'm sorry, your sister has died in a car accident." A policeman informed her, as they brought her to the mortuary where her twin sister's body was laid.

"No, it can't be … SIS!" Chidori yelled as she shook her dead sister's body hard.

Even though her parents who were practically workaholics had sort of blamed her for their ideal daughter's death, Chidori started to blame and hated herself for causing her 'perfect' twin's death. She would have lost herself in despair if it is not for her godmother who understand her feelings and did not blame her for her twin's death, offered her lodgings at her place, which she willingly accepted. She then found a part time job at Chiroru bakery and started attending classes at Seki cram school. Even though she kept herself busy, she just couldn't help but feeling so guilty over her sister's death and empty, whenever she sees people whom she was familiar with hanging with their loved ones…

"Godma, I'm home…" Chidori called the customary greeting as she entered the apartment, removing her shoes at the same time.

"Mou, Chidori, you didn't call us at all." A familiar small- sized (chibi) persocom with Arabic costume dragging another small persocom with bells attached to her twin ponytails pouted and glomped on Chidori's face at the same time.

"Sorry, Sumomo, Kotoko; it just slipped past my mind." Chidori apologized to them as she entered the living room.

"Welcome home, Chii." Hibiya Chitose replied, giving the customary reply back to Chidori. "Today, we will be chicken stew with broccoli, grilled mackerel and potato potage soup, and salmon and tuna ongari and we have a guest." Chitose informed Chidori.

"Yay, salmon and tuna ongari, my favorite and I'm really starving, Godma, Sumomo and Kotoko, you wouldn't believe what happened at my workplace. There's this guy who …" Chidori's voice trailed off when she saw the familiar stranger staring back at her in surprise.

"Aah, Chii, I like you to meet our guest, Motosuwa Hideki."
