It was a snowy, winter day when they first encountered each other. She had been buying the new music books, they had been looking for something to cure the endless boredom that plagued them. Twins. Identical twins. At first, it took her a moment to figure out what she was seeing, but the realization hit her like a sudden subito after a long line of rests. The first thought that hit her was that they were nothing alike. The second thought was that they were both obviously intelligent, the looks of curiosity and calculation etched into their eyes.
As it turned out, their families were old friends and the kids ended up spending lots of time with each other in the enormous music room that she practically lived in. They became amazingly close, until she had to move away to enter in a competition, tour Europe and learn under accomplished musicians. By now, after six years, she was probably forgotten by them. Or maybe …...
Tsukiko Shizukara was one of the newest students at Ouran Academy, having just enrolled yesterday. She'd been given a day off of classes for one of the school staff members to show her around the campus, which was, of course, absolutely enormous. It had taken a full day just to walk all of the classrooms, libraries, and cafeteria. Were she to venture in the gardens she'd probably get lost entirely.
Ouran was undeniably one of the most extravagant in all of Japan, but she wasn't all that special. Her family owned a relatively successful company that sold various, music-related materials such as music books, CDs, instruments, sheets, stands, and even full sized concert hall pianos.
Needless to say, she had been surrounded by music all her life and studied Classical music on the piano, viola, violin, cello, and clarinet. The entire reason that she'd entered this school was because of her music, the school having seen a new potential music competition candidate. She'd already built up an impressive reputation among European musicians and competitions, but she lacked experience outside of that, so playing in a more foreign environment with a slightly different preference on interpretation would be interesting. Ironic, that her home country had become "foreign". It had been a long time since she'd been back in Japan.
Tsukiko walked down the halls of Ouran's west wing and finally found an abandoned music room.
"Hm. Music room #3."
And then she wondered why she got a sudden chill as she turned the doorknob.
"I'm sorry we aren't opened for busine-" The two voices stopped dead as identically olive green-golden eyes landed on an all-too-familiar face. "Tsukiko-chan?"
