Hey guys... Sorry its so late but I have school and a bunch of other homework to do and I haven't had much time... I'm sorry if this chapter is absolute crap because I am doing on about 2 hours of sleep.
Thank you eveyone for the follows and favs! It makes me so happy! VERY IMPORTANT! I AM STILL ACCEPTING OCs! I AM ALSO LOOKING FOR TEACHER OCs!
Blue-black flames - THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! Thank you so much for helping me with this! I am literally so bad at writing and THANK YOU for the pointers and the encouragement! But because there is so much going on at once multiple POVs in this chapter are going to be necessary...
Natsukumo1000 - Please continue to point out my spelling errors or grammar errors! I try not to have any but I always seem to miss a few...
Filthy Casul - Well... I'm not sure we'll include THAT in this story... Hmm... Maybe... As for the sparring match... You will find out~
3rd person POV
"My name is Hikaru Himura, that's my twin sister and I hope we can be friends!"
"My name is Kano Himura and don't mess with my brother or I will hurt you."
Asami's POV
The look on Aika's face told me that she was once again up to no good. But this time it was different somehow, almost as if... She was not just being mischievous but... Sinister.
Hiro's POV
New transfers, whatever, thats not my problem right now. Aika Akabane... She is talented for sure. However, she posses one major flaw: arrogance. With that skill level I can beat her in my sleep... Then why am I anxious about this? I don't want to fight her... because... It feels like a waste for me to defeat her so easily. Hm. Odd. Well it doesn't matter, I will win. The only question is... When is she going to challenge me?
Aika's POV
Ahh... So much amusement I feel like I am a 3 year old at Disney land again. Hiro challenging me and these new... So amusing transfer students... I don't even know where to start. This is truly heaven on earth. I have been hated by many people but I have a good feeling about this one. I think she has the drive to honestly hate me. I must terribly humiliate Hikaru Himura and earn Kano's scorn. I want to do somthing so bad to Hikaru that Kano will come at me with a murderous rage. I am currious to see what it feels like to be the target of someone's unwavering wrath.
But I also want to finish what I started with Hiro... That boy is... Not amusing, he is strong and competent, like his father. Shame... he got on my bad side... He and I could have made great friends. I do believe he is the only person in this class to have earned my respect. I suppose its first come first serve... I'll finish it with him first.
~ Later (at the sparring location) ~
"So... Hiro, I suppose you're going to give me a beating?" A rhetorical question on my behalf (I did the math and there is about a 2 percent chance of me winning and that is if he has a broken bone... Which I doubt...) but I want to know if he was capable of an emotional response. When I glanced at him, his face showed a tiny bit of surprise at my comment. He lowered his guard... But something told me not to attack. Call it what you will, respect for the enemy or even fear. But I knew even though I could go for a hit, even if this was my only chance, it was not how I wanted to win.
"If you know you're going to lose why do you even bother?"
"I dunno... Perhaps I have a death wish." He frowned for a moment and I could see a tiny bit of concern on his face. "I was just kidding. No way I'm dying now. Jeez, you don't need to take things so seriously... But let's cut the crap and just get started."
He launched the first attack and went for my arm. Damn, he was really fast, I barely dodged and he was already targeting me in another place. There was no way I could land a hit on him, he's too fast. I kept dodging his attacks right and left, up and down until I felt a sharp pain at my side and realized I had been hit. He stopped and I jumped back a few hopps and examined my side.
Hiro walked over and crouched next to me. It wasn't pretty... My entire left side was purple - a color it most definitely should NOT be. Not to mention I hurt like hell. I looked over at him as he furrowed his eyebrows at the sight of it. Right now, I had lost - I hate losing but for some reason I wouldn't have wanted it any other way. It was kind of my fault this had started to begin with. I shouldn't toy with people because I want to - but I can't seem to help myself... Its just too fun... I need some serious help... Then again there really is no saving me...
Hiro's POV
Shit. I hit her harder than I intended. "Sorr-"
"Stop. I don't want your apology. This was a duel, someone was bound to lose and get hurt. I knew that when I challenged you. I lost, you won. You can do whatever you like to me but don't pity me." She stated very boldly. If I didn't see that bruise I would have thought she wasn't hurt at all. But that wasn't important at the moment.
"This isn't a matter of win or lose. You are hurt. I hurt you. Even if is was a match, I didn't intend anyone to get hurt. I will help you."
"Go away." She said as she stood up "I've been worse. This is nothing." She started walking away, not even limping. I wanted to follow her but decided I shouldn't. I turned around to walk away when I heard her say "I can not apologize for speaking the truth, however, I'd like to add to my previous statement that: I admire you, not your father. I respect you, not your father. You are your own person, and you should be proud of that."
Aika wasn't at school the next day.
~ The Karasuma Residence ~
"So, Hiro, how was school? Have you used those French kissing techniques on anyone yet?" My mother says in an excited, almost seductive way. Normally this would annoy me but I am more worried about Aika right now.
"No." Was my curt response.
"Do plan on kissing someone? Tell me child, is there any girl you have your eye on? Or... boy?" Now she is watching me like a hawk, trying to see if she can get a few details out of me while my father sits next to her clearly agitated.
"Irina, how many times do I have to tell you not to pressure our children into kissing strangers?" My father says. My mother just scowls. I say nothing. It just doesn't feel like the time for my mom's weird antics right now. What if I really injured Aika? How hard did I hit her? Did I break any of her ribs? Internal bleeding could be a problem if I really hit her that hard... Why didn't she react at all? Does she get injured often? Why did she tell me those things? If she wanted to be my friend why did she-
"Hiro!" My father snapped me out of my thoughts by literally shaking me in my chair. I look at him. "What?"
"You have been staring into nothingness. Are you even paying attention to what your mother and I are telling you?" My father eyed me in a concerned way.
"Yeah. Mom asked me if I wanted to kiss anyone at school. My answer is no." I replied.
"Hiro, I asked that question five minutes ago." My mother told me. My dad looked at me again, waiting for an answer. Damn... Now they're going to know something is wrong... But its really bothering me...
"I... Uh... Need to check on something. I will be home before nine." I said and started walking towards the door. I was quick but my parents were quicker.
"Hiro, what's going on?" My father asked gently. "Whatever it is, you can tell us."
I just looked at them. Then I felt a cold breeze on my arm and glanced at the open window. Then at them again. My mother must have noticed because she almost caught me as I sprinted out.
I got to check on Aika... If I hurt her that badly... I need to take accountability for it.
~ Akabane Residence ~
Aika's POV
"Aika, someone is here to see you!" I heard my mother yell from downstairs. I haven't (and probably never will) tell my parents about the huge bruise on my waist. They'll way over react and I don't want to get Hiro into any trouble. I casually walk down the stairs and... Speak of the devil. Hiro is sitting at the dinner table. My dad is sitting across from him with a look on his face... and I know just what he's thinking... Ugh. This is gonna be one hell of a story I'm gonna have to make up.
Hiro suddenly stands up and walks over to me. "We need to talk." He says as he grabs my hand and pulls my out of the house and starts walking (very quickly, probably to avoid my parents) down the street. Once we are about 4 blocks away, he sits me down on the bench at the empty park.
"How are you?" He asks in his usual composed voice, like he hadn't just pulled me out of the house with my parents watching and brought me to a freezing park in the middle of the night.
"Other than what just happened and what my parents are probably thinking right now... I'm great! How about you?" I ask in a sarcastically happy voice even though I am frowning at him.
"I'm talking about the bruise! Are you alright? How bad is it? You know, I was afraid I had hurt you badly since you didn't come to school today! You didn't answer any of Asami's phone calls either!" He yelled at me.
"What?! I'm fine! I told you I've been worse this is nothing! I don't see why you worry so much. I skipped yesterday because I didn't feel like going to school and my phone was on silent because Takashi asked me to help him find his cat! Plus I called you back didn't you see it?!"
He looked at me, obviously surprised. Then he searched for his phone. Idiot probably forgot it at my house... It didn't take him long to realize that and continue lecturing me.
"Why would the perfect, son of the chairman, student council president, Takashi Asano ask for your help to find a cat?!" He asked genuinely confused.
"Because his cat hates his guts and it hates mine too. But statistics show that it's much its easier to find something if you have 2 sets of eyes rather than just one." I informed him.
"Ugh. Your unbelievable! You had the whole class worried and it was all because you were looking for a cat?!"
"Shut up. Your going to wake everyone on the block if you keep yelling like that. Plus... We should start walking back to my place. I don't want my parents to get worried and call the police."
Well... Note to self - Walking with Hiro is incredibly boring and awkward... Half way back to my home I decide to start a conversation.
"Teach me." I tell him.
"What?"
"Teach me. Teach me combat. You beat me and your obviously better than me. I want to be better. I want to be able to beat you one day."
Hiro's POV
Now I know why I didn't want to fight her. It was because she knew she would lose. I don't know if she always knew and had it planned out from the start or she just took advantage of her situation. One way or the other, she wants to learn from me... She wants me to teach her... I can't deny.
"Alright. I'll teach you." I agreed.
"Sweet. Thanks Hiro!" She says in an uncharacteristicly nice way.
As we approach her house I can make our 4 standing figures... Damn, its our parents... My dad must have put a tracker on my phone... I scowl at the realization at he is probably tracking my 24/7... When did the word 'trust' lose its meaning in my family? Jeez... Maybe its because my mom is an ex-assassin...
Anyhow... This is going to be an... Interesting... Conversation...
