Hitomi was restless. She tossed and turned in her bed, unable to sleep. She looked over the bed down on the floor, and her clone was sleeping peacefully. She sighed, and closed her eyes again.
"What have I gotten myself into?" Hitomi thought. "How did that strange man clone me?" Hitomi thought about that for at least an hour. And then she remembered the comb he was carrying. That was how. She took a deep breath, and dozed off into sleep.
Gord paced around angrily.
"Where is she!" he thought. He would only look for her for fifteen minutes tops, he figured. After all, she was his creation. He needed to know where she was. He opened the door to the lab, and walked out, his purple robe blowing in the wind. He would find her and see what was taking so long.
Hitomi woke up to a loud thud.
"What was that?" her clone asked, just as she was about to.
"I don't know." Replied Hitomi. "Let's go see."
The two Hitomis walked down the hallway in their pajamas. They carefully looked around the corner, and then walked down the hallway that led to the living room.
Hitomi sighed, "I forgot to do something about that window you broke!"
"I'm so sorry," replied the clone, feeling guilty.
"Well, it's okay, I just hope nobody else is in this house." Hitomi said. Their identical blue eyes got wide as they saw a figure walking into the bedroom again, its back turned to them.
"Hey," Hitomi whispered as the clone turned around and looked at her, "we need to find out what's going on with him. I'll hold him, and you knock him out."
"Got it," The clone replied confidently. The two walked down into the room, as the hooded figure walked around, examining the bed made on the floor with his back still turned to them. Hitomi mouthed "let's go" and her clone understood. Hitomi ran up to the man, and grabbed his two wrists.
"Let me go!" he yelled. "Let me go, you worthless clone!" he yelled. Hitomi grinned.
"I'm not the one you should be looking for," said Hitomi. Her clone walked up to the flailing man.
"I am," she said, smiling. A look of horror spread across Gord's face. And then, the Hitomi clone drove a hard punch right to Gord's forehead, and he passed out.
Hitomi dropped him to the floor.
"Good job," said Hitomi. The clone smiled.
"Thanks. You too."
Hitomi stared in thought for a while, and then said, "What should we do with him?"
The clone looked puzzled. "I don't know."
They exchanged glances.
"Let's lock him up," suggested the clone. Hitomi nodded. She opened her closet door, and gestured for her clone to help her drag him in there. The two Hitomis cooperated with each other, each pulling his arm into the closet. Hitomi shut the door on him, and locked it from the outside.
"Can't he get out?" the clone asked curiously.
"No, I locked the door." Replied Hitomi. Her clone nodded.
"Hey, I need you to hide somewhere." Said Hitomi. A confused look went across the clone's face.
"Why?"
"I'm calling the police about this guy, and I need to ask them to fix the window." Hitomi said. The clone shrugged.
"Sure."
"Um, hide in the bathroom." Said Hitomi. The clone nodded, and walked into the bathroom and locked the door.
"I'll tell you when you can come out." Hitomi yelled to her clone.
"Okay," she replied quietly. Hitomi picked up her cell phone, which was on her nightstand, and dialed the police. They were on their way in no time.
Hitomi's clone was being very quiet. The police knocked on the door, and Hitomi opened the door. Hitomi told the two police officers about the man, and about the smashed window. She told them that the man smashed it. The police officers called a number, and confirmed to Hitomi that there would be a window repairing service at the house in no time.
The police officers shut the door, as they left, carrying the still unconscious man, and they drove away, just as a window repairing service came. They replaced the window in a hurry. They then left. Hitomi yelled for her clone to come out now. There was no answer. She yelled again, and no reply. She grabbed the bathroom key that was hidden under her bed, and called her one more time before unlocking the bathroom door to see what was wrong.
Her clone was leaning against the wall, her eyes shut in a deep sleep.
"Oh, she must've been really tired." Thought Hitomi. She woke up her clone. Her eyes slowly opened.
"Huh?" the clone said, waking up.
"Go into your bed now," Hitomi said, "they're gone."
The clone nodded, and did as Hitomi said. Hitomi then went into her own bed, and the two identical teenagers fell asleep fast.
They both woke up the next day to chirping birds. Hitomi rolled over, and looked at the clock. It was eight.
"Are you awake?" Hitomi asked quietly. Hitomi then looked at her clone, who was sound asleep. Hitomi thought she'd make breakfast for herself and her clone, so she walked into the kitchen, looking in the cupboards. She found her old chicken teriyaki from last night that she hadn't finished, so she wrapped it up and put it in the fridge. She thought she'd make her favorite breakfast food, pancakes. She was flipping the pancakes, playing soft music in the stereo. And then she saw her clone walking down the hall.
"You're finally awake," said Hitomi. The clone smiled.
"Yeah."
"You want some pancakes?" she asked.
"Sure."
"Okay, they're almost ready." Said Hitomi. Her clone sat down at the kitchen table, still rubbing her eyes sleepily, and then she yawned loudly.
"Eww, my breath smells. Do you have an extra toothbrush?" the clone asked.
"Yeah, it's under the sink in the bathroom." Said Hitomi. The clone nodded, and walked into the bathroom. She looked under the sink, and grabbed the toothbrush. She was brushing her teeth when she heard Hitomi yell, "the pancakes are ready!"
"Okay!" she yelled back, spitting out her toothpaste. She then wiped her mouth with a paper towel, and walked into the kitchen.
"Hey, how do you know about hygiene?" Hitomi asked, knowing that her clone had just brushed her teeth.
"I'm not sure. I guess it's just instinct," said the clone.
"Ah." Replied Hitomi. She flipped two pancakes on a plate, and put them on the table, next to her clone.
"Did you ever eat before?" Hitomi asked.
"No." replied the clone.
She squirted some maple syrup on them, and chewed the pancakes, tasting the sweet syrup, and then swallowed it.
"Wow, those are great pancakes." Said the clone.
"Thanks, I use my original recipe." Hitomi replied. The clone smiled. Hitomi then grabbed two pancakes for herself and she sat down at the table beside her clone.
"So," she said, chewing her food, "want to you want to do today? After all, my parents won't be home for a few days yet."
The clone looked deep in thought.
"I don't know. Go shopping, maybe?" the clone asked.
"Sure, I love shopping." Hitomi replied. The two finished their pancakes and then took showers. Hitomi changed into a pink long-sleeved yellow shirt, jeans. Her clone changed into a black t-shirt and jeans.
Hitomi then grabbed her jacket and one for her clone, and then grabbed the car keys.
"I just remembered; don't you think it'd be weird if someone saw us? You know, two identical girls?" Hitomi asked.
"Well just say we're twins." Replied the clone.
"Good idea." Said Hitomi. The two drove off in Hitomi's black jeep. They were driving, when the clone asked, "can I put music on?"
"Sure," replied Hitomi. The clone pushed a button next to the clock, as if she had been in this car before, and turned the dial to a smooth jazz station.
"I love this." Said the clone, turning it up.
"Hey, so do I." Replied Hitomi, who had always been a fan of smooth jazz. They arrived at the mall, and shopped for a few hours. They arrived back home, when they saw a note in the kitchen. The two girls looked at each other in horror. It read: I WILL STILL KILL YOU.
