My Sister Hanako
Chapter 2: I'm going where?
7-year-old Hanako Hitachiin woke up in a very uncomfortable position, on the floor of her room. Her long black hair all messed up. With her dark yellow eyes staring at the ceiling above her. She sighed to herself, 'And I was really tired last night to, I just had to have wushu(1) practice that night. I had so much stuff to do yesterday. Piano lessons, learning to disguise myself (don't know why I need that) AND trying to tame my so hard to entertain brothers' She thought.
For some reason, Hanako's dad was making her learn so many activities "I know you're a talented girl." Her dad always said. She sighed to herself and went to her brothers'- Hikaru and Kaoru's- room. "I don't even have enough time to myself for drawing…"
Hanako was always good at drawing, they look alive her brothers say to her. Once in a while she would make a portrait for her brothers (their choice), to make sure they were never bored. They annoy her to do something if not her parents, mostly her mom though, they say the servants- "Stop calling them that!" she always said- are boring and mom's too busy to do anything.
She put the locket she always had ever since she was born (her mother said) on. 'This is special,' she always thought or said to anyone who asked about it, 'because… Once when I was 5 I didn't wear my locket, I slept that night with strange dreams. It was about this kingdom in the desert and I was the princess. The fact that my looks change was scary. I had a slightly tanned skin unlike now, I have a light brown that almost looks white. Instead of long black my hair was a short blondish type. And I was 14. It was weird… I didn't like it.' She explained.
She knocked at the beautifully made door, 'We are a rich family, why wouldn't they use their money and overdo it a little once in a while,' was what she thought every time she passed by the door.
"Who's there?" She heard the chorus of the twins from behind the door.
She always wondered if they were separated at birth and are actually supposed to be one person. 'It's like they practice this,' she thought with an annoyed look. "It's me Hanako, you better get up or I'll show you how much I learned in all those martial arts!" she shouted knowing very well (since she's their sister) of what they fear most.
"I know you two share your secrets with each other, but I'm smart enough to find out what they are~!" she reminded them in a now too cheerful voice, that, if you listen carefully actually sounded sinister.
"This is bad…" whispered Kaoru, the younger twin, to his brother Hikaru. "I knew our sister was too smart." He said worriedly.
"It's okay we just have to give in to her demands until we let her try out the game we made," Hikaru whispered back to Kaoru in a happy tone. "I'm sure she'll lose and she'll give in to our demands after that."
They laughed silently and said loudly to make their sister know they're up to something, "Okay! We're going out know!"
'They're too cheerful…' Hanako thought, 'It doesn't matter, they probably made something up to entertain themselves.' She sighed and said to herself "I'm starting to wonder who's more mature…Nope! Never mind, I am more mature."
The twins opened the door and, with Hanako went down to the dining room. Then Hikaru and Kaoru sat next to Hanako and began to eat by themselves. Their mother and father were talking about something in their room. But, it wasn't talking- it was arguing.
"I absolutely disagree!" the mother of the Hitachiin children, Anna shouted at her husband. "Why would you take Hanako there? I don't want her to be separated from the family, even though she could almost fit in there! But her eye color they would make fun of her because she's so different."
The father looked calmly at his wife and stated, "But you know of our job, it is Master Fei Wong Reed's orders." "And, it is best to prepare her early."
"She's just a child, do you think a child would want to be separated from her family at age 7?" she asked. Her voice pleading.
"I'm sorry, Anna." Takaomi said. Then Anna fell unconscious, he placed his hand on Anna's head and thought: 'You will forget of this argument, you will think that we had an argument but we are still not divorced, and as the deal I will bring Hanako with me to the Philippines to train her better."
Then there was a blue light coming from Takaomi's hand. "Done, it'll be around 24 hours when she wakes up." He said, "Time to start packing." He went downstairs to find that everyone was done eating and the twins were standing in front of Hanako wearing caps.
"Hanako~!" the twins said together. "We made a –" Hikaru said first. "-game that's called-" Kaoru continued. Then they said in perfect unison, "Which one is Hikaru-kun game!"
'I'd feel bad if I took her away from her brothers," he shook his head "no,no this is because of her that I have to do this job for THAT "man".' He thought.
'So that's what they were up to.' Hanako sighed. 'What a simple game…' Then, being the way she was taught on how to act (her father again said that) she said in a very convincing tone "Is that so? It sounds interesting."
"The rules of this game are as the name applies, but we'll ask you why so you can't just blindly guess." Kaoru said.
"And, if you lose you won't threaten us anymore and keep us happy for 1 WHOLE month!" added Hikaru.
"And let's… START!" they said (once again) together.
'I didn't even say yes…' Hanako thought, annoyed.
Before even 5 seconds passed, Hanako said, "The one on my left is Hikaru and the one on the right is Kaoru."
"How do you know?" they said.
"Because your actions are a little different from each other even though you two look so alike, and Hikaru is more boyish than Kaoru, who's a wimp."
'WIMP?' Kaoru thought.
Both of them sighed, "We knew this would happen…"
And Hanako added, "Your voices are different to."
"Now, now everyone can you all leave? Except Hanako can everyone else leave the room? I need to talk to her for a while." Their father cut in.
"Dad!" the twins said with their arms making a gesture that meant, "Welcome".
While Hanako said "Father," with a small bow.
"Please, leave." Their father said again.
"Yes sir!" the twins said with a salute. While all the maids and butlers said, "Yes, master" with a bow. And they all left.
"Hanako, well me and your mother decided something…" he started
"What is it, Father?" Hanako asked with a worried look. "Nothing bad happened, right?"
"No, not at all. Both of us… you and me. We… need to go to the Philippines. You know how to speak in English and Filipino right?" he asked acting like he was completely oblivious to the look on Hanako's face.
It took exactly 5.33 seconds for Hanako to figure out what her father was saying. During that time, there was nothing but an awkward silence. "Why? And yes, I know." she said to her father. "But… the Philippines! Why there?"
"What we said in that "conversation" is something you should not involve yourself in." he said firmly. "Oh, and you're not to have contact with anyone in this household once we enter the Philippines." He said as an afterthought.
"Yes, father…" was all Hanako could think of saying.
"We'll leave at 4:00 in the afternoon you should be done packing by then." he said and left the dining room.
'He didn't say what kind of contact so… I'll just write to them. So I'll just have to keep that a secret. I officially LOVE loopholes!' she thought happily.
The twins were in their room (for some reason) leaning against the wall.
"It's taking long…. That conversation sis had with dad," Kaoru said softly.
"You're right…" Hikaru agreed.
Then, both of them said together "It's so fun acting like smart detective twins!"
"What's this? (sigh) I thought you would act SMART for once… it was bad putting my hopes up." A familiar voice said behind them.
"HANAKO~! MAKE US A NEW PICTURE!" Hikaru and Kaoru complained.
"No way! I need to go for a while." She said a bit happily but it was fake.
"Eh? Doshite(2)?" Hikaru said.
"Father said it, that's why." She stated.
"Why… are you so formal in calling-" Kaoru said.
Hikaru continued, "-dad that but not mom?"
"Nothing you need to know about!" she snapped. "Ah! Sorry guys just stressed, I guess." And she gave them a nervous laugh. "By the way, I'll be going to the Philippines this afternoon… promise I'll send you letters!"
"Why can't we come?" The twins asked their little sister together. But by the way they act with their sister you'd think it was Hanako that was older.
"Don't know. But father said it and since he's our… "superior" and elder we HAVE to obey him. Well I'll start packing now." And she added, "You're not allowed to tell mom about the letters I'll send you, okay?"
"Why?" Kaoru said.
"Because, Kaoru," she was sure it was him. "It has something to do with dad and mom, and I don't think mom likes dad anymore. So it's beter if we think that I don't know mom and you don't know dad. Please promise!" she said to both of the twins.
The twins huddled in a corner of their room and discussed if they should. And finally gave a clear yes.
Hanako was just packing her things while thinking of what will happen. 'How long will I not be able to see my brothers?' she asked herself. 'Sure they can be a real pain but…' she burst into tears 'I'm really going to miss them and mom.'
Someone knocked on her door, "Miss, are you done? Your father's waiting for you." Said one of the maids.
"Ah, yes! Wait just… CLOSE!" and she closed her bag shut. "Done! I'm coming down now."
"I'm really going to miss you guys. Where's mom?" Hanako said to her older brothers.
One of the butlers answered her, "The mistress is sick, so she needs to rest." He said.
"Come now, Hanako." Her father said opening the (very expensive looking) car door.
"Yes, father," Hanako answered back. And, with that, she closed the door at the same time Takaomi closed his.
"Bye-bye, Hanako!" the twins said. But it was too late, the car was going farther and farther until it was finally out of sight.
"Neh, Kaoru." Hikaru said to his twin.
"Yes, Hikaru?" Kaoru asked. But he knew what his twin would ask, but still did it anyway.
"When do you think we'll se Hanako again?"
"I don't know…" Kaoru answered back.
Fei Wong Reed stared at the mirror showing what was happening to Sakura, known as Hanako, now. "Yes, 7 more years and it will finally begin. Sakura-hime's path that I created with these hands of mine…" he said. "It'll definitely come true… my dream… I'll bring you back, Clow."
A/N: To those who don't know who Clow is I suggest you read the Tsubasa Chronicles manga.
It's a Chinese martial art.
"Why?"
I just love the relationship with Sakura and Kyoya, her brother, so I just couldn't resist (believe me I tried) to put it here to. Next chapter is Sakura meeting Tomoyo. I don't think Sakura is complete if there's no Tomoyo. Once again, if you don't know who Tomoyo is read the manga for Tsubasa Chronicles.
I know that the Hitachiin parents are not really named that but… it's needed, especially the mom's name.
Ending is lame… I know.
Sadly, not many people are reviewing… PLEASE REVIEW!
