Hi there! This chapter contains two ships, one straight and the other yuri. I hope you'll like it.

She was the most beautiful girl he knew. Perfection wasn't enough to describe her. Elegant, graceful, distinguish, pretty, intelligent, kind, she really had everything. He couldn't help but have fallen in love with her. But all he did until now was watching her from afar, too shy to confess his feelings for her. She was quite popular at school, and not only for her beauty. She was also part of the school student's council and currently running to be school president. He will obviously vote for her.

But today, he decided that it was enough. Enough about hiding how he felt, today was the day he'll finally confess…or at least talk to her. Talking to her seemed like a good improvement. So he waited until school was over since she was usually really busy during school time. He waited for her at the school exit. When he saw her walking near the exit he felt his heart racing. Nervously, he approached her, gathered his courage and finally opened his mouth.

"Hanabusa-san…"

"Yes, Namatame-kun?"

He froze. To hear the object of his affection say his same made him felt like the weather had suddenly got warmer.

"You…you know my name?" he said, surprised.

"Of course, you are Namatame Tsurugi, we are from the same class."

Tsurugi remained quiet for a moment. The girl he loved, Hanabusa Mitsumi, future school president, knew about his existence. He felt honoured. He couldn't help but smile happily, and Mitsumi seemed to react to it by her friendly yet soft smile.

"Ah, you're right, we're classmates…Uh, actually, there's something I wanted to tell you for a long time now," Tsurugi began to say nervously.

"Oh? What it is?" Mitsumi asked with a glimpse of interest and curiosity in her eyes.

Tsurugi took a pause. Now was the right time. He had to do it. It was his chance to confess his feelings. He just had to be brave and say it.

"I…I…I'll vote for you as president."

He got quiet, ashamed of his cowardness. He couldn't believe he just said that, he felt so dumb. He didn't even want to look at Mitsumi so much he was embarrassed. The latter continued to smile, but her smile seemed different. It wasn't friendly anymore, just polite.

"Oh my, is that so. Thank you for your support, Namatame-kun. Now if you excuse me, I will head for home."

Mitsumi began to walk away, Tsurugi watching her, feeling powerless and cursing himself for messing up.

"Wait!" he managed to say.

The white haired girl suddenly stopped and turned back, still smiling politely.

"Yes?"

"There's…there's something else I need to tell you."

"Ah? What it is?"

Tsurugi hesitated for a moment. He needed to choose his words carefully to not look like a fool again.

"I…I want to…help you. Let me help you with your presidency campaign!" Tsurugi replied, sounding almost solemn. He even bowed a little.

Mitsumi stopped smiling and just looked confused. Tsurugi felt like he committed a mistake and immediately tried to rectify what he said.

"We…we could discuss it…while taking a coffee together. I know a nice café near the school," he added.

He waited a couple of seconds, unsure if he said the right thing. He was relieved when he saw Mitsumi smiled again in a friendly way.

"I would love to take a coffee with you. I am free right now, if you want to go now," she proposed.

"Now!? Oh, um, sure, I'm free too. We can go now."

Mitsumi let out a soft amused giggle and Tsurugi blushed a little. He then began to walk, heading for the café, with his crush walking by his side. It didn't go the way he initially intended, he didn't confess, but he was happy nonetheless. He got to go take a coffee with the girl of his dreams. It seemed like a reasonable start for a possible relationship with her. So he smiled happily, confident that one day, he'll have the courage to tell her his feelings.

"What are you doing there?"

Hiding behind a tree, looking at the scene, was a girl that was the splitting image of Mitsumi, except with messier hair and a school uniform that was probably not up to code. The girl looked at her with a surprised expression, before a grin appeared on her lips.

"I could ask ya the same question, shorty."

She frowned when she heard the other girl call her shorty. She didn't like when people make comments about her short height. For her, she had the perfect height, it was everyone else who was too tall.

"I don't have to explain myself to you. You look the same as this girl, are you related?"

"Mitsu-chan? She's my younger sister. We're twins. I'm Hanabusa Sayo by the way, nice to meet ya!" she replied enthusiastically.

"That still doesn't explain to me why you're spying on my brother."

"Oh, mister handsome face is your brother?"

"What…you think onii-chan is handsome!?"

"Well, he may not realizes it, but he's quite popular with the ladies. Really, he and my sister would be your typical cliché couple from a shojo manga. Tho he ain't my type, if it's what you wonder. But my sister, on the other hand, she may have admitted to me that she finds him quite charmin'"

She didn't like what she heard. She and her brother had always been the closest, always together. She was afraid she might lose him if he suddenly got a girlfriend.

"And why were you spying on them? Don't tell me you're jealous because your little sister is spending time with someone else then you…"

Sayo looked a little bit bothered by this remark, but she continued to grin.

"Well, I can't deny that. But I wish her to be happy, and if that guy is able to do that, then I'm fine with it. But I feel like it isn't the case for ya. You were spyin' on them too. Feeling jelly because big bro is paying attention to another girl that you?"

"What!? No! I don't care if onii-chan wants to spend time with that goody two shoes…"

"Hey, watch your tongue when you're speakin' of my lil' sis, shorty!"

Sayo seemed upset for a moment, but not angry. It surprised her, but also frustrated her because of the word the white haired girl said.

"Don't call me that! I have a name."

"Which is?"

"Namatame Chidori."

"So Chidori-chan…Chi-chan…"

"Oy, that's a little bit too intimate!"

"Well, I don't wanna mix you up for your big bro, so calling ya Namatame is a no. And ya can call me Sayo, to not mix me up with Mitsu-chan."

"…fine…Sayo-san," Chidori accepted. "You…you really seem to like your sister."

"Could say the same about your brother," Sayo replied with a smirk. "Mitsu-chan is my cute lil' sis, of course I like her. I would do anythin' for her."

"I see…I suppose she's lucky to have a big sister that care so much about her."

"And mister handsome face is lucky to have such a cute little sister who looks after him."

Chidori couldn't help but blush at the compliment. She usually wasn't really emotional, but Sayo caught her off guard.

"A-Anyway, you were spying on them because you were worried for your sister, is that it?"

"Yep, pretty much. I guess it was the same for ya. But I know your brother is a nice fellow, so I ain't worried anymore."

"And I guess…your sister is fine too, so it's okay," Chidori said. "And you're right. They do look like the typical couple. The athletic popular boy with the studious popular girl, both among the prettiest at school."

"Well, Mitsu-chan is also pretty athletic. We play baseball together. She pitches, I hit."

"Still, he's the captain of the kendo team, and she's on the student's council. My point stands."

"If ya say so," Sayo replied. "Hey, I wonder…what are ya doing here? It's a high school here, aren't ya suppose to be at the elementary school?"

"Rude! I'm a middle school student!"

"Ah, really? Oh well. Sorry 'bout that."

Chidori pouted. This girl was treating her like a kid. She was used to it, but it was still frustrating.

"I heard the Namatame family had a dojo, is that true?" Sayo asked.

"Yes. My mother is a sword teacher, she taught my brother the art of the sword. Me I do archery. My other mother is a botanist."

"Oh, you have two moms too. That's cool!"

"Uh, you too?!"

"Yeah! Mines have their own tea house. One it the owner and the other work as a waitress…in a maid uniform. And my uncle is doing the night shift dressed as a butler."

"It seems…interesting."

"You should come one day, me and Mitsu-chan have a part-time job there. She's dressed as a maid while I'm dressed as a butler."

For a reason she couldn't know, seeing Sayo in a butler uniform slightly interest her. In fact, Sayo herself seemed like an interesting person to her and Chidori was slowly beginning to warm up to her.

"Maybe one day."

Looking at the white haired girl, Chidori noticed that they weren't totally identical twins. Mitsumi had an heterochromia, one green eye and the other blue, while both Sayo's eyes were dark blue. And they seemed…weird. They looked…metallic, as if they had screws in them. Suddenly, her eyes glowed in a red light that alarmed Chidori.

"Your eyes…! What is happening?!"

"Oh, they are robotic. I had an accident as a kid and lost my eyes, so I got new ones, cooler ones," Sayo explained proudly.

"I see…but why are they glowing?"

"Ah, that's because I'm using my X-Ray vision."

It took a moment for Chidori to understand and react by hiding her body with her arms.

"You…pervert!"

"Relax, I can only see your bones."

Chidori calmed down a little, but remained on her guard. Sayo suddenly showed a mocking smirk.

"You've got a nice pelvis."

Chidori rectified herself. There was nothing of interest in Sayo and replied to her comment my punching in her the stomach, before leaving.

The Namatame siblings and the Hanabusa twins! Tsurumi and Mitsumi are definitely romantic, while Sayo and Chidori are more platonic and sibling-like, but will eventually become more romantic over time. I hope you appreciate this chapter, it may be the last one but I may write a few more if you're interested. Thanks for reading and let me know your thoughts! Seeya!
