Hikaru/Karou: So we finally come into the story.
Chi: Kyoya will be here in either the next chapter or in a few chapters from now. I forgot when.
Haruhi: So everyone else doesn't come in until the sequel?
Chi: Actually they do make a brief appearance in this one. Tamaki will probably be SUPER brief though.
Honey: How do we come in?! :D
Chi: In a fight.
Honey: ... :I
"Class this is Miranda Eika and Hannah Eika. Please be nice to them. There both new to Japan." The teacher announced with a smile. They both wore the school uniform but had a cross pin on it. Miranda had a butterfly pin as well and Hannah had a lily pin. Miranda had her hair half up and half loose while Hannah had long loose hair.
"Hello! I'm Miranda Eika!" Miranda cheered with a smile.
"Hi! I'm Hannah Eika!" Hannah cheered with the same smile.
"We hope we'll get along well with you'll! We're happy for any advice you might have and if you ever need help feel free to ask! We've been known as the Eika twins often but honestly we couldn't care less if you used it or not." The twin girls cheered together.
"I'm sure some of you will be happy for there help. These two girls are on a college education already." The teacher smiled.
"Great another pair of twins." One of the girls whispered to her friend.
"Yeah. But they seem like there really nice. We don't even know them and there from a different country and there already saying we can come to them." Her friend whispered back. The twins turned at the rumors and turned to the Hittachin Twins before each other with a devious smile.
"Looks like we have another target." Miranda whispered to Hannah.
"Right! Optional mission is in full action as of now." Hannah giggled. The teacher assigned their seats to right behind the Hittachin Twins. Right before school let out Miranda undid her hair and shoved her butterfly pin in her pocket. Hannah shoved her lily pin in her own pocket and then walked in front of the Hittachin Twins. Even though Miranda sat on the right she walked around to the left side. Hannah sat to the left and walked to the right side.
"What do you want?" Hikaru asked.
"Which one of us is Hannah? Answer this correctly and we'll leave you'll alone the entire time were here. If you get it wrong then you have to spend the afternoon with us for the next week. Is it a deal?" The twin girls asked with a smile. "We'll even play the "Which one is Hikaru?" game with you'll. And we'll get it right." The twins added. The other kids in class stared.
"Fine. We'll play but there's no way you'll get it right." The Hittachin Twins shrugged before pointing to Miranda. "Your Hannah." They said. The boy twins could see the disappointment they always felt when someone confused them. Miranda pulled her butterfly pin and hair tie out of her pocket. The Hittachi Twins briefly wondered if the Eika Twins were contradicting just like them. They wanted to be told apart but didn't want to be told apart.
"You got it wrong. I'm Miranda. She's Hannah." Miranda smiled putting her hair in a pony tail and putting her Butterfly pin on. Hannah took her Lily pin out of her pocket and put it back on. They both pointed at Hikaru with a smile.
"Your Hikaru." They said simultaneously with a smile. The twins stared wide-eyed and shocked. "We got it right!" They squeaked happily knowing from the shocked looks that they got it right. "As of tomorrow you will both spend the afternoon with us. Today we have some business to the care of." They smiled. Miranda took Hikaru's hands into her own while Hannah clasped her hands on Karou's.
"We hope we can expand your world's." Hannah smiled.
"Even if we are hypocrites for not being able to expand our own world's that much." Miranda continued with a big smile.
"We made a promise to never let any pair of twins may there works become so small. We learned the hard way to expand your world's. We all can expand our world's the best we can until we need that extra push. You two need that extra push now rather than later." They said simultaneously before nodding a goodbye and leaving. There hands entwined with each other.
"Woah! The Hittachin Twin's got a taste of their own medicine!" A male student whispered to another student. Hikaru and Karou snapped at that comment. Both stood up and walked away. Miranda and Hannah were laughing at Hikaru and Karou's shock.
"Wow! I knew that some twins were surprised to be told apart but those two! HAH!" Miranda exclaimed.
"Yeah! But it makes me feel bad for them." Hannah turned serious.
"There's bound to be someone who was able to tell them apart." Miranda commented.
"Maybe. Maybe not. Nobody's ever been able to tell us apart." Hannah pointed out. Miranda's eyes turned to Hannah before blinking and looking forward.
"Hannah. We both know that someday it won't just be a dream. So don't worry about it so much. Plus, we've gotten so different that sooner or later it'll practically be written on our faces! Besides, I don't want anyone to know quite yet." Miranda smiled brightly at Hannah. "In any case, today I'm checking out the park and making sure there's nobody else who's a target. Your checking out the area where the demon was. Got it?" Miranda planned out. Hannah nodded. Both were stopped when Karou grabbed Hannah and Hikaru grabbed Miranda.
"How did you tell us apart?" The both swiftly demanded. Miranda sighed taking a deep breath in but quickly stopped and covered her mouth. "What?" Hikaru and Karou were annoyed when Hannah covered her mouth.
"Your bleeding." Miranda's answer came swift. Hannah pulled away from Karou and yanked Miranda out of Hikaru's grip.
"You'll may look-alike and even if we had never seen your before you'll are very different. As for you Hikaru, you might want to bandage your hand soon before it get's infected. See you tomorrow." Hannah hurried off with a cold and worried expression, dragging Miranda behind her. "We'll deal with the matters during the weekend. You can't now." Hannah ordered tossing Miranda a bottle of juice. Miranda bit her lip.
"Damn. I really wanted to get it over with now. Stupid Hikaru had to go and get himself cut. And I was so sure we could have it solved today." Miranda complained taking a sip of the drink. Miranda closed the drink and tossed it back to Hannah with distaste.
"Well that was fast." Hannah rolled her eyes dragging Miranda away from the school. "WERE HOME!" Hannah shouted when they arrived at their house. Michel was the first to greet them.
"What are you'll doing back so early?" Michel asked.
"An idiot at school cut himself and Miranda didn't exactly have the best reaction." Hannah explained to her mom.
"HEY! I RESENT THAT! You're the one who over reacted! I'm fine!" Miranda exclaimed annoyed at their reactions.
"Aww, we know that sweetie. But it's better to be safer than sorry." Michel hugged Miranda.
"Why do you'll always act like this? I'm going to my room!" Miranda stalked off bubbling with rage.
"And this is why we 'overreact'." Hannah sighed.
"Don't worry sweetie. She'll come around." Michel assured Hannah.
"I know. I just wish Miranda would remember that she gets moody and terrible at doing her job when she smells blood." Hannah grumbled. "Well, I'm going out for a bit. Good luck!" Hannah turned to leave.
"Hikaru, Karou! Time to go!" Miranda smiled cheerfully at the boy twins.
"What are you talking about?" Hikaru asked staring at Miranda. Hannah was nowhere in sight.
"We had a deal! Remember! Or if you'd like we can have a rematch?' Miranda smiled.
"No way! She really thinks that she can tell them apart again?!" One of the students gasped.
"Fine. If we win, you AND Hannah have to leave us alone." Hikaru and Karou decided. Miranda pointed to Karou. Disappointment flickered in their eyes.
"Your Karou and your Hikaru!" Miranda smiled getting it right shocking everyone. "I don't think you understand. I can and will always be able to tell you apart. There are people out their who will ALWAYS be able to tell you apart. Hannah and I can understand your feelings." Miranda pulled the two into a hug and held them there with force a girl her size shouldn't have had. "Were contradicting to. We feel the same disappointment when people can't tell us apart even though were different. Look's mean nothing in our world. It's best to learn that sooner rather than later." Miranda let go and snatched there hands, dragging both away with a big grin. Miranda paused and looked at the twins. "That reminds me. Hannah and I aren't going to fall in love with anybody. Never have and never will. So please save yourself the heart-ache and don't fall in love with us." Miranda smiled gently at them.
"Then we expect you won't fall for us. We have no intentions for falling for you or Hannah." Hikaru and Karou told her annoyed she would suggest such a thing. Instead of a sad look like they expected she gave a bigger grin.
"GREAT! We have an understanding then! I have enough to deal with, with all those stupid arranged marriages people keep trying! It's so annoying." Miranda laughed happily. There was something off about it. To some people they would think it was painfully obvious it was fake but the Hittchin Twins had yet to decipher such acts. Miranda's phone rang and Miranda answered holding the phone away from her ear.
"Miranda! What are you doing! There going to close if you don't hurry! Your not torturing them are you?!" Hannah's voice yelled. Miranda froze.
"... There closing soon? ... WE'LL BE THERE IN HALF A MINUTE!" Miranda assured her twin before dragging the twins and running extremely fast towards the 'commoner' area. In less than two minutes Miranda, Hikaru, and Karou were panting in front of a bakery. Hannah tapped her foot annoyed.
"Really? You ran all the way here dragging those two? I'm surprised none of you'll are on fire from breaking the sound barrier." Hannah sighed handing Miranda a bottle of juice. Likewise she handed a couple of bottles of juice to Karou and Hikaru.
"Hold on a second. It's open until six and it's only three." Karou commented. Hannah chuckled nervously.
"Oh would you look at that. I got the times mixed up. Ooops. Hehe." Hannah snickered at Miranda's depressed form.
"Your so mean..." Miranda muttered.
"Eh?! Your doing that this soon?!" Hannah exclaimed before sighing and deciding to play along. Hannah grasped Miranda's hands. "I'm sorry. I didn't mean it like that. I just wanted you to hurry so the food would still be warm. I never meant to hurt you!" Hanah assured Miranda.
"Really?" Miranda looked away with disbelief lacing her tone. Haruhi was passing by and sighed before hitting both girls with a newspaper.
"Don't start that again!" Haruhi chided.
"Sorry! It was just an act! Our adoring public was requesting one!" Hannah and Miranda sparkled giving Haruhi a thumbs up.
"What adoring public?" Hikaru and Karou asked.
"That one." Both girls pointed towards a nearby not-hiding-very-well photographer. "A friend of ours hired him for when we had these kind of moments. Although she prefers it when boys perform the act. In any case, we also drew a crowd to!" Miranda and Hannah both smiled with sparkles in their eyes. Haruhi groaned.
"This is the last time I'm going to ask why you two do something." Haruhi walked away.
"What was that about?" Hikaru and Karou wondered.
"Hey, Mira?" Hannah smiled at her twin. "We forgot to perform today at school! Tomorrow then! Let's see what should happen." Hannah announced with an evil smile. Miranda giggled grabbing Hikaru and sitting him down at a table in the café. Hannah did the same to Karou.
"You'll can pick whatever you like. We've got enough cash." Miranda smiled at Hikaru and Karou.
"Yeah. Besides the only one here who can burn a hole in my wallet is her." Hannah pointed at Miranda who scoffed.
"I do not eat that much!" Miranda declared.
Thirty minutes later,
"Ah, that was yummy." Miranda sighed content. Hannah stared inside her almost empty wallet now with a smile.
"I can't believe I brought enough yen! I was sure I would have to make a tab and ask them to wait until I could get some more from home!" Hannah smiled. "The best part is, you didn't eat them out of business!" Hannah added. Hikaru and Karou had been forced to choose something. Both looked at Miranda uncertainly. She had tried EVERYTHING on the menu. Except things that had pineapple and blueberries. They could've sworn Miranda hissed and nearly destroyed the plate of Pineapple and blueberry cake Hannah had chosen. Hannah had the cooks put a bit of pineapple in Hikaru, Karou, and her own dishes. It was basically a Miranda repellant. Turns out, Miranda had a big sweet tooth.
"How could you'll tell who was who? You didn't even talk to us and you still guessed right." Hikaru and Karou asked the two. Both girls turned to them with a smile.
"You see, we actually were guessing the first time. But when it turned out we were right we learned a lot about you. That shock of knowing someone can tell you apart is something we have never known and probably never will know. But you two are different by voice, spirit, emotionally, and mentally. Were not different by much. Out tones are the same. Our spirit is the same. Our looks are the same. But were different emotionally and mentally. It was almost to easy to tell you apart." Hannah and Miranda spoke quietly. There tones stiff. "The one who is not Hikaru is Karou. The one who is not Karou is Hikaru. That's always been the way it was. The one who is not Hannah is Miranda. The one who is not Miranda is Hannah. A simple thing to understand for those without twins. But only a select few without a twin it always seems can understand this rule. Good day, you two. We had fun, see you'll tomorrow." Miranda and Hannah left. Once the Hittachin Twins were far from ear-shot Miranda and Hannah turned serious. A rare scenario that both turned serious at the same time.
"Do you think..?" Hannah started but Miranda shook her head.
"I know what you thinking. It's not them. There both completely oblivious to our presence. And so is everyone." Miranda pointed to the people around her. Hannah's eyes widened as static flickered between the people. "They were oblivious to the illusion. The illusion was cast after Haruhi passed by. Were dealing with something strong and they know who, what, and why were here. But now we hold an advantage. There right there." Miranda's eyes shifted to a building that wasn't blurring into static.
"So what kind of illusion?" Hannah asked as this was not her strong suit despite being a master in Aria and Dragoon.
"They set the illusion so that nobody except, Haruhi, Hikaru, and Karou could see us. It was set right after we left the café. I'll give you a cover." Miranda pushed Hannah into the nearest ally and pulled out a piece of paper. She cut her index finger and let a splash land on the paper. A dark ghostly spirit speared. It had a lantern in its wispy arm. "Cover the ally in darkness." Miranda ordered. The ghost like demon did so dimming its lantern. Hannah gasped feeling a pain run through her arm. A bruise settled there. "I want you to cover the ally in darkness! Not cover Hannah in bruises!" Miranda snapped a the wispy ghost form. Hannah clapped her hands and pulled them apart slowly. A rifle formed between her two palms. She gripped the rifle tightly and carefully aimed for the demon in the building. Her breath slowed as she aimed it with precision, but then came the part she always had a hard time doing. Her finger was set on the trigger. Hannah pulled the trigger and looked away in the nick of time. Miranda turned her gaze away as the illusion was shattered. A scream rang out from the demon as he fell.
"I'm sorry it came to this. Rest well." Hannah murmured a soft prayer before sheathing her rifle in her hand.
"C'mon they'll catch onto us quickly. We'll be the first suspect!" Miranda grabbed Hannah.
"If they catch us, Act Number 13 will be set into action." Hannah ordered as Miranda ripped the paper she had used to summon the demon in half. In turn the demon disappeared while Hannah wiped the bit of gunpowder off of her. Both girls made a dash for it but cringed when they were spotted.
"Hey you two!" A man yelled running up to them. He had red hair and wore a dress. The twin girls assumed he was a cross-dresser. "Did you see who fired the gun?!" HE demanded. Miranda and Hannah shook their heads and let fear play all over their expressions.
"T-They were tall but t-they were w-wearing a ma-ask." Miranda stuttered holding onto Hannah for dear life. The man softened.
"Are you two okay?" He asked gently.
"I- I think so! T-They had a gun a-and were a-aiming it a-at someone b-but he caught sight o-of us after he shot and..!" Hannah shook violently as Miranda started sobbing. There act coming along quite well. Hannah and Miranda took comfort in each other falling onto the hard cement ground. A nearby woman had already called the police and the siren wailed. The police were swarming the area right away. A couple taking Miranda and Hannah back to the station where they knew they would be safe. Miranda sighed inwardly.
"There goes our chance of getting this done quickly. Were going to have a damned body-guard AGAIN."Miranda thought letting her telepathic wall come down.
"It happens. By the way, when was sobbing part of Act 13?" Hannah asked her twin telepathically.
"A perk of my design. To them we just saw a killer. The same kind of killer that had fired the bullet in the park. Twice in a row. Plus there's a chance there's more so you'll be shooting again. AKA this is going to seem like a serial killer kinda thing. Except this case will never close since it's in the hands of ordinary people." Miranda thought to Hannah. The police officer sitting next to them in the car smiled in a comforting matter. She was in uniform.
"I think so." Hannah said quietly. A thought crossed Miranda.
"No. They grabbed Hannah and bruised her arm." Miranda pointed to the dark bruise from the wispy ghost like demon. Hannah gave her a weird stare but caught on. The police officer looked it over before smiling.
"It should be fine. Could you tell us where your parents are or where you live?" The police officer asked gently. Miranda reached in her pocket but found it was empty.
"Weird. I had it just a minute ago. What about you Hannah?" Miranda turned to her twin feeling her pants up and down for her missing phone.
"Hmm?" Hannah reached into her pocket to wear her phone was. She pulled it out and the simple phone at sometime had been crushed. The immediate suspect was the demon Miranda had called forth earlier. "Can we borrow a phone?" Hannah asked. The police woman handed Hannah her own phone. Hannah dialed the number and held the phone away from her ear. It buzzed a couple of times before picking up.
"Hello?" A woman's voice called out.
"It's Miranda and Hannah." Miranda spoke loudly so her mom would hear. Both girls put a pair of earmuff's on and handed a pair to the officer.
"IWASWORRIEDSICKWHENISAWTHENEWSITHOUGHTYOUWEREDEADORWORSEANDYOURFATHERLEFTTOFINDYOUANDHEHASN'TCOMEBACKANDWEBOTHNEARLYDIEDOFCRYINGCAUSEIFANYTHINGHAPPENEDTOYOUWE-" Hannah ended the phone call to shut their mother up.
"I'm beginning to wonder if the true victims are your parents." The officer sighed.
"Sorry. There over-protective. This may take a few times." Miranda sighed as the phone rang. Everyone put there earmuffs on and answered the phone.
"DONOTCUTMEOFFAGAINYOUNGLADYASIWASSAYINGWEWOULDKILLOURSELVESFORNOTBEINGABLETOPROTECTYOURSELVESANDTHEN-" Hannah shut the phone with an irritated look. Almost right away the phone rang. Hannah answered it and was not surprised it was their mom. "Fine. I'll shut up. Are you two okay?" She asked softly. Everyone took off the earmuffs.
"Were fine. Han got a bruise but that's the worst. Han and I are on our way to the police station now. Can you pick us up there?" Miranda spoke into the phone.
"I'm so sorry sweetie! I'll be there as quickly as possible!" Mom exclaimed. She hung up.
"Well, Mom will probably be at the station by the time we get there so don't be surprised." Miranda warned. The officer stared the twins down suspiciously at there new-found calm attitude. "... Our mom has a weird way of making everything else seem unimportant. Even after the death of close friends. It's almost a superpower." Miranda explained her calm attitude with a dry tone. Hannah gave a brief nod.
Chi: Things are going according to plan so far.

Shura: So when do we come in and take over?
Chi: In a few month. Also, you're not getting arrested. R&R! ;3
