"Kaori, kaoru, get up and get ready for school!" Sakura yelled from downstairs
Kaori heard her obaasan's voice and got up out of her bed, and and got everything she need to start her day.
She walked out of her room and into the hallway, she saw kaoru walk out of the bathroom with her uniform on, and her hair still a little damp.
" The bathrooms all yours sis." Kaoru said smiling.
Kaori's eyes widen as little.
" Your done already? " Kaori asked, clearly shocked.
" Yeah, I woke up really early, so I just started getting ready." She said walking into her room.
" Incredible, I never thought I would see the day when kaoru got done dressing on time." Kaori thought in her head while walking to the bathroom.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
" You two are done getting dressed early, I thought kaoru would still be in the shower right now." Sakura said while sitting a plate of breakfast in front of each of her granddaughters.
" I was surprised as well obaasan, kaoru takes forever in the bathroom, I thought I would have to skip out on breakfast again." Kaori said while taking a bite of her toast.
Kaoru sweatdropped
" I don't take that long in the bathroom, and can we please stop talking like I'm not in the room?!" Kaoru said while pouting and folding her arms.
" Sorry sweetheart, but on more important matters, since it is friday, and we never go out and do anything as a family anymore, I recommend that we go to this karaoke restaurant that just opened up not to long ago, I mean, if you two want to." Sakura said hopefully.
" Of course, we would love to go obaasan." Kaori said, smiling her rare smile at her grandmother.
" Yeah obaasan, your awesome to hang out with." Kaoru said excitedly. " But what time are we going, because I told nao that we would go shopping after school."
" What ever time works for you girls." Sakura said smiling as usual.
" Well, we can go as soon as we come back from shopping." Kaoru said.
" That's fine sweetheart, oh look at the time, you two should be heading off now." Sakura said while looking at the digital clock on the counter.
" Hai obaasan, we'll see you later. " Both twins said while hugging and kissing their grandmother on the cheek.
They both picked up their backpacks and left out the door.
While walking to school, kaoru decided to strike up an conversation with her sister.
" So kaori, you know we have a dance coming up next week right? " Kaoru said while looking at her sister.
Kaori raised one of her eyebrows.
" I am aware, what of it?" She asked.
" Well... Are you going?" Kaoru asked with hope shining in her eyes.
" I am afraid not, I do not particularly like dances and you know that." Kaori said while looking at her sister with a reprimanded look on her face.
" I know, but I just thought that you would want to come this time, come on kaori, it'll be fun, you'll be with me and nao, and I bet if you come, haru definitely will, it's not like you'll be alone." Kaoru said pleadingly.
Kaori gave out a sigh, knowing her sister wasn't about to let her say no.
" Alright, I will come." Kaori said giving in to her sisters demand.
" Yay! Thank you onee-chan, now we can shop for dresses and shoes and do each others hair and makeup, this is gonna be great!" Kaoru said while day dreaming.
" What have I gotten myself into?" Kaori thought to herself while sweatdropping.
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
When the twins arrived at school, they went their separate ways, kaoru going over to a group of her friends and kaori going over to her and haru's usual spot.
Kaori's Pov
I walked over to the tree that me and haru always go to before our classes start and I hopped up on the branch and I swung myself over so that I was sitting properly and comfortably on the branch. I closed my eyes for a second, then I felt a slight shake in the tree, so I opened my eyes. I gasped when I saw two baby blue eyes staring straight into my eyes, a face so close to mine, that if he moved an inch, his lips would be on mine. I felt my cheeks heat up as I brought my hand to his face and pushed him back and out of my face.
" Well good morning to you to sunshine." Haru's said to me smiling.
" Do you find it amusing to always invade my personal space." I said looking at him with an annoyed face.
" Kind of, its cute when you blush." Haru said coming close to her face again.
Kaori glared at him and put her hand on his face again, she was about to push him back, when a feminine voice spoke from below them, she looked down and saw a girl that was their age, she had light brown hair and big light brown eyes.
" I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm new here and I don't know where my classes are and the other students won't help me, so may you help me find my classes? " she asked while looking up at me with her doe eyes.
" Of course, I will need to look at your schedule, do you by chance have it with you?" I asked while carefully jumping down from the tree.
" Oh yes, I do." She said as she began to rummage through her backpack and fished out her schedule and handed it to me.
I looked at her schedule and saw that she had my first two classes and her last two classes were P.E and chemistry.
" You have my first two classes, so when the bell ring, just follow me, and I'll show you to your last two classes." I said while handing her back her schedule.
" Arigato gozaimasu!" The girl said bowing.
I nodded my head to her and that's when the first bell rang, and I looked over to the girl.
" You have my homeroom as well, so just follow me." I said to her as I began walking towards the building.
" OK." I heard her say behind me. " Oh, I'm Momozono Nanami by the way." She said behind me.
" Higurashi Kaori." I said back.
" And I'm Kawasaki Haru!" I heard him say.
We all made our way to our homeroom class, I went to my usual seat and haru followed and sat in his usual seat behind me, and nanami came and sat in the empty chair beside me.
When the last bell rung, and everyone was in their seat, our homeroom teacher started passing out flyers for the dance that is coming up, he also passed out our school ID's. When the bell rang, everyone got up and left the class and headed to first period. Which for me, haru, and nanami, was Japanese History. When we got to the classroom, I went straight to the back and took my seat by the window, haru sat in front of me, and nanami sat on the side of me, when the last bell rung, Mr. Mikage closed his door and stood in the front of the class.
" OK class, today I will be picking your groups for the feudal era project that you will be starting, but before we start, I would like to introduce a new student, miss Momozono please stand.
I looked over at nanami as she hesitantly stood.
" Is there anything you would like to say to your new classmates miss Momozono?" asked.
" It's very nice to meet everyone, I hope we can be friends." She said excitedly, flashing a bright smile.
The class started to murmur stuff along the lines like " yeah right and as if".
Nanami heard them, and her smile wavered and her spirit dampened.
" Very well, welcome to our school, I hope you enjoy your time here. " He said sincerly.
" Arigato sir." Nanami said quietly and bowed.
" You may sit now, Ok class, now about those projects."
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Nanami received the same treatment from the rest of the students in our second period, I learned from nanami that her mother died from sickness when she was younger and her dad was in a lot of debt so he left her and she was evicted from her house and now she's homeless. The bell that signaled that school was over rang, and all the students got up and left out of their classes, I was waiting outside of the door and seen that familiar silver hair, so I grabbed haru's arm and pulled him out of the crowd as usual, then I seen a head of light brown hair struggling to get through the crowd of students, so I went in and grabbed her arm and pulled nanami with me, pushing any student that got in my way.
" You have to be early in getting out of the building or your never gonna be able to get through them." I told her.
" I will from now on, everyone kept stepping on my foot." Nanami said while whining.
I looked at nanami, remembering how she told me that she's homeless, I felt bad for her, I may seem emotionless to people, but I do have a heart, if I didn't haru and I probably wouldn't be friends, this girl is so nice, and all day long, people have been cruel to her.
"Onee-chan!" I heard a voice calling.
I turned around and saw kaoru and nao running over to us.
" Hey onee-chan, you and haru still want to come to the mall with us?" She asked smiling.
" Hai imouto." I told her.
"Great! " Kaoru said smiling brightly." huh, who is this? " She asked curiously as she looked over at nanami.
" Oh, sorry for being rude, I'm Momozono Nanami, it's a pleasure to meet you." nanami said while bowing.
" I'm Higurashi Kaoru, and it's a pleasure to meet you as well nanami." Kaoru said bowing back.
" Oh you two are sisters, I see it now, you two look identical." Nanami said amazed.
" We are identical, we're twins!" Kaoru said smiling while grabbing me and pulling me into a hug.
" That's awesome, I've always wanted a sister!" Nanami said while smiling brightly.
" I hate to interrupt this little introduction, but we should be getting to the mall now, so goodbye, nami." Nao said while grabbing kaoru's arm and started to walk away.
I turned around and grabbed kaoru's hand and pulled her away from nao.
" Unlike you, my sister isn't a rude bitch and actually like to meet and get to know knew people, and by the way her name is nanami, not nami, so if your that much in a rush to get to the mall, your more than welcome to go by yourself and we can meet you there." I said calmly.
Everyone stood with their mouth open at what I had said to nao.
" Oh no kaori, you don't have to stand up for me, I guess she's right, I didn't mean to intrude on your plans, I'll be going now." Nanami said while smiling.
I saw right through her smile, it was more forced than anything, I grabbed Nanami's wrist and pulled her back over to our little group.
" You shouldn't let people talk down to you like that, you should stand up for yourself more. " I said to her.
" And your not intruding nanami, your more than welcome to come along with us if you would like to." Kaoru said while smiling at nanami, and she shot a angry look towards nao.
" Oh no, that's ok, I don't have any money, there's really no point in me going, but thank you for the offer." Nanami said.
" Non sense, Kaori likes you and thats rare for her to like anyone, so your apart of the group now, and I'd be more than happy to buy you things." Kaoru said while smiling. " I'm a fashion addict, so picking out outfits for you will be very fun." She said.
Nanami was about to object again, but I cut her off.
" Kaoru isn't the type to let you say no, so it would be better if you agree and come along with us." I said.
Nanami sighed in defeat.
" I guess I have no choice then do I?" Nanami asked.
I shook my head.
" OK then, I'll come." She said quietly.
" Great!" Kaoru shouted while grabbing nanami's and nao's hand and started pulling them along with her.
I sighed and shook my head at my sister, then I saw a hand in front of me, I looked at said owner of that hand, and saw haru smiling at me. I glared at him and walked around his hand, and started walking in the direction of where my sister went.
" Hey, come on Kaori, what's so wrong with holding my hand?" Haru said as he ran to catch up with me.
" Nothing at all, I simply do not wish for people to get the wrong message about us." I said as I kept my gaze forward.
" Wrong message?" Haru repeated confused. " Ohhh, you mean you don't want people to think that your my girlfriend." Haru said smirking.
I felt my cheeks heating up and I turned my face away from his gaze.
" Precisely." I said.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
" Aww nanami, this will look so cute on you!" Kaoru gushed while holding up a orange frilly dress to nanami's body.
I internally sighed as I looked around our little group, seeing all the shopping bags each of us had, kaoru had bought most of it, she says that she doesn't really care about spending money on people, when grandfather died, he left us a lot of money, I don't really spend money, but kaoru on the other hand, does.
" Hey onee-chan, don't you think we should look for our dresses for the dance next week?" Kaoru asked while looking back at me.
" If that is what you wish." I told her while yawning.
" Great, then let's go into some different shops and see if it's any dresses to our likings."
I nodded at her and she grabbed mines and nanami's hand and started pulling us to different shops while yelling over her shoulder for haru and nao to follow.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
" Obaasan, were home and we have company!" Kaoru yelled while walking inside of the house.
" Oh, welcome home dear, I hope you had a great day today." Obaasan said as she kissed mines and kaoru's forehead.
" Hai obaasan, today was great, we even picked out our dresses for the dance next week." Kaoru said while pointing back at haru, who's hands were filled with our shopping bags.
" That's great sweetie. Oh my, who is this little cutie?" Obaasan asked while going over to nanami and started pinching her cheeks.
Nanami blushed and bowed after obaasan released her cheeks.
" I am Momozono Nanami, pleased to meet you Mrs. Higurashi."
" Pleased to meet you as well dear." Obaasan replied while pinching nanami's cheek again. " it's always a pleasure to meet my granddaughters friends, whenever you want to come over, just have your parents drop you off or walk home with kaori and kaoru." Obaasan said smiling.
I saw nanami's smile dim a bit at the mention of her parents.
" Thank you Mrs. Higurashi." Nanami said with a forced smile. " Well I better be on my way, are you later everybody, and thank you for today kaori and kaoru, it was the most fun I've had in a long time."
Nanami started out the door, when I caught her wrist.
" We are going to a new karaoke restaurant that that opened up tonight, how about you come with us." I said sincerely.
" Oh no, its ok, I've intruded enough today." She said.
" Non sense dear, the more the merrier and it's my treat, but we'll have to stop by the costume store first." Obaasan said with an excited look on her face.
" Costume store? " Kaoru, haru, and I said in unison.
" Why yes, it is a cosplay karaoke restaurant, and tonight is Disney night, so you have to dress up as a Disney character." Obaasan said excitedly. " and I got us all a costume." Obaasan said while walking upstairs.
A few seconds later, she came back downstairs with clothes in her hands, she handed me a bluish green costume with a long black wig, that was in a ponytail and had many puffs in it, with golden pointy flat shoes.
" Kaori, you are gonna be princess Jazmin." She said smiling widely.
She went over to Haru and handed him a purple vest and some creamy white puffy pants with patches in them and a red belt type thing around the waist and a little red hat, and a black short haired wig.
" Haru dear, you are gonna be Aladdin." Obaasan said as she smirked at me.
I tuned my slightly red face out of her view and I heard her laugh lightly, then she walked over to kaoru and handed her a long sleeved white shirt, with a black corset, and a long flowing blue dress and black short heeled shoes, and also a big hair bow and a long red wig.
" And you kaoru, will be princess Ariel." Obaasan said smiling.
Kaoru started to smile wide.
" It's so kawaii obaasan, I know we're going to have a great time tonight." Kaoru said excitedly.
" Yes we are, and for myself, I am going to be the fairy godmother." She said smiling. " Now, everyone start getting ready so we can go and get nanami a costume, I have the perfect princess in mind for her."
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
I heard everyone downstairs and obaasan talking about how cute everyone looks, it made me not want to leave my room, I look ridiculous.
" Kaori, come on, let's see how you look!" I hears obaasan yell from downstairs.
I sighed and walked over to my door, I hesitantly opened my door and walked out of my room and proceeded to walk downstairs.
When I got to the bottom of the stairs, everyone turned their eyes to me.
" You look so kawaii onee-chan!" Kaoru exclaimed as she ran over and wrapped her arms around me.
I heard the click and saw the flash of a camera and I looked over and saw obaasan snap another picture.
" ohhh one more obaasan!" Kaoru exclaimed as she wrapped her arm around my shoulder and held up a peace sign, while I stood there looking annoyed.
Obaasan took one last picture and kaoru let me go as haru walked over and put his hand around my shoulder, when I glared up at him, get automatically let me go, which obaasan just happened to take a picture of, and he held his hands up in surrender.
" Sorry, I was just trying to take a picture with my wife." Haru said.
My face instantly heated up and I looked away from him.
" I am not your wife." I said calmly.
" According to the movie, Jazmin, you are my wife." He said smirking.
I sighed in annoyance as I made my way out of the door, with the rest following behind me. We all pilled into my obaasan's car, and we drove off.
A few minutes later we pulled up to a very bright and colorful building called " Cosplay Closet" we all got out and went inside, the building looked just as I thought it would, bright and colorful, with shelves and racks of costumes ranging from toddlers to adults, from American cartoons to animes.
" See, doesn't this suit her?" I heard obaasan say while holding up a costume with a long sleeved purple dress, light purple for the top and for the skirt part of the dress, its a dark purple with a pinkish design on it, the sleeves are a pink color as is the some stripes on the puffy part of the sleeve and some are purple, and the lace going down the front of the dress is pink, tying the top together and a long, long, long blonde wig. " She can be princess repunzel!"
" Hai obaasan, she will look so pretty in it! " kaoru exclaimed while smiling brightly.
" Excuse me sir, I would like to pay for this, while she goes to the dressing room to put it on." Obaasan said to a passing worker.
" Yes ma'am, just grab another so I can get the price and she can go right on back to the dressing rooms." Said the male worker.
Obaasan did as he told her and went to pay for the costume, while Nanami went to the dressing room and kaoru went with her to help her.
" Hey Kaori." I heard haru say from behind me.
I looked over my shoulder at him.
" I didn't want to say anything earlier, but now that we're alone, doesn't it look like grandma Higurashi is getting very thin." He said seriously.
My eyes glanced over to my obaasan, I've been noticing how thin she's gotten, and how little she eats now.
" Hai, I have." I replied quietly.
" Do you think she's sick?" Haru asked worriedly.
" She does tend to get sick from time to time, but she always gets better, she must not have had no appetite lately, if something was wrong, she would surely tell kaoru and I, obaasan isn't the type to keep secrets." I said to him to ease his worries.
He nodded to me, then the others came out of the dressing rooms and obaasan came back over to us.
" See, I told you that she would looked great, you look so kawaii dear!" Obaasan said while pinching nanami's cheeks once again. " Well first before we go, let's get some pictures while we're in here." Obaasan said.
Everyone automatically huddled around me and started doing poses as obaasan was snapping pictures, in the last picture she took of us, kaoru put her index fingers on each edge of of mouth and forced me to smile while haru made my hand go into a peace sign and Nanami wrapped her arms around my shoulder while holding up her own peace sign, obaasan hurried and took the picture and the others ran off, with me chasing behind them while shouting profanities at them.
After we had all calmed down we got in obaasan's car, and we were on our way to the restaurant
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
When we arrived at the restaurant, we saw that it was packed, were a lot of cars out her, obaasan managed to find a parking spot in the far back. We out of the car and made our way to the door, skipping everyone in line, and headed straight for the bouncer.
" Name? " He asked.
" Higurashi. Reservation for 5." Obaasan said.
" The paper says it's for four." The bouncers said.
" Well I specifically asked for five, it is not my fault that your workers put down the wrong information, now please good sir, show us to our seats." Obaasan said.
" Yes ma'am." The bouncer said as he called over as waiter. " Show these guests to their seats please." He said.
" Oh, and yes, right away." The waiter said.
He walked us to our tabled, which had an excellent view of the karaoke stage, and we all sat down, Nanami, kaoru, and obaasan on one side and haru and I on the other, I am starting to think my family is trying to play matchmaker. The waiter came by and sat our menus down in front of us.
" Just ring that bell when you are ready to order." He said, while smiling a forced smile.
" Ok, thank you dear." Obaasan told him, and as he walked away. " OK, order anything you like."
I picked up my menu and looked at everything on it.
A few minutes later, obaasan had pressed the button that the waiter told her to press when we were ready to order. It started playing music while saying " Their ready to order, there ready to order" When the waiter came back, it cut off and he took our orders as well as our menus.
When our food came back, we all started to eat and chat about everything and that led to obaasan finding out about nanami and her family issues and homelessness, so knowing obaasan, she offered her a place to stay with us, which nanami tried to decline but failed miserably seeing as how obaasan wasn't taking no for an answer. When everyone was done eating, we all went to play some arcade games, and that ended in haru challenging me tobacco game of ski ball, and he lost miserably, so he challenged me again, to a game of air hockey, and he madebme a bet that if he won, I would have to kiss him and sing karaoke with him tonight, but if I win, he would have to do what ever I said for two weeks and do my homework for one week.
" Ha! Your better off betting me on a game of ski ball, everyone knows I'm the air hockey king." Haru said cockily.
" We'll see about that, because there is no way in hell, that I'm kissing you." I said determined to win.
~ 20 mins later ~
" HAHAHAHAHAHA! AND I TOLD YOU, NO ONE CAN DEFEAT ME AT AIR HOCKEY!" Haru said while laughing. " Now wait right there while I go sign us up, I have the perfect song in mind too." He said laughing as he walked away.
I stood there with my eyes widen open.
" How could I have lost, I was winning, then he came back and won with one more point." I thought frantically.
" OK, they got the song ready, and with all the horrible singers today, the crowd is itching for a good performance, so try to do your best." Haru said while grabbing my hand and pulling me along with him towards the stage, when we got on the stage everybody was looking up at us, I saw obaasan snapping pictures again and kaoru and nanami giving me the thumbs up.
I took a deep breath.
" Ok, we got some more takes for tonight's karaoke, what a cute couple, am I right?" the announcer asked the crowd and the crowd erupted into cheers, which made me blush.
" Ok, now sticking to the theme that they are dressed up in, here we have Kaori and haru singing Aladdin's A whole new world!" He announced as the crowd erupted into cheers again. Then the beat for the song begin to play.
~ A whole new world ~

We finished the song and bowed, then i heard screaming, and it was very familiar scream, I looked over at kaori and saw that she and nanami was kneeled down beside someone, my heart skipped a beat because I know who that someone is, I ran off of the stage and into the direction of where they were, I heard nanami shouting for someone to call the police, which the waiter that served us did, when I got to the I kneeled down beside obaasan too, and saw that she was unconscious, I panicked and checked her pulse, which was beating very faintly, then I really started to panic, I checked her forehead and saw that she was burning up and sweating very hard, a few minutes later the ambulance pulled up and they rushed over and put her on a gurney, then they wheeled her out while we followed.
When we got outsife and they were putting obaasan in and ambulance, I heard some boy say " this is why old people should stay at home." I walked over to him and punched him right in the face, I saw haru run over to me so I punched the boy again before he grabbed me " And that's why smart mouth little bastards like you need to learn how to shut the hell up and mind your damnation business!" I yelled angrily while trying ringer out of haru's hold.
" Kaori!" Haru shouted at me. " Calm down, grandma Higurashi need you right now, well deal with that punk later. "
I nodded my understandings and walked over to the ambulance along with kaoru and we got in and drove off to the hospital.
XxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxX
Kaoru and I were waiting along with Nanami, haru, and that waiter from that restaurant, who had drove them here, who's name we learned was itachi, then the doctor came out.
" Family of Higurashi Sakura?" He asked.
Kaoru and I stood up, she grabbed my hand tight and we walked over to him.
" I'm sorry to say this, but your grandmother...
