Chapter I:
Cold.
Mother fucking cold that was what it was.
Naruto angrily stomped his feet into the ground, stopping the swing. He glared at the snow at he kicked it. Cursing the cold for the thousand times inside his head.
A shadow melted into his and a warm body was pressed against his back. Hands, with fingertips just as cold as his, overlaps his on the chain.
"Stop cursing Naruto it gives me a headache," whispered a warm voice into his ear sending warm shivers down his spine.
"Can´t help it, sis. It's just so fucking cold." He leaned into the warm body feeling the heartbeat of the other on his back. His own and the other's heartbeat mixed together, and when the beat landed on the same time, he could feel the warmth in his mind.
Sis.
Yes.
Warm me.
She chuckled and he felt her breath on his neck. Her hands left his, one was thrown over his shoulder, the other under his arm. She dug her fingers into his jacket and pressed him backwards, leaning him more into her.
Like this.
Yes like this.
They stood and sat there just looking at the white playground and brushing their warm minds against each other.
The smacking of a car door made them break their connection.
Aina loosened her grip on her twin and placed her hands on his shoulder, keeping the connection through touching instead of spiritual.
A hooded figure stepped out of the cap first soon followed by a limping old man. The old man limped to the back of the cap and graphed the two suitcases that were given to him. The hooded figure just looked at the ground as the exchange of suitcases and money went between the old man and the taxi driver.
When the deal was over the figure didn't even help the old man with the suitcases as they started to walk.
The closer they got to Aina and Naruto, the angrier he got.
Why the hell didn't the hood guy not help the old man? He was clearly struggling with the task of getting them through the snow, and the hood guy was clearly a young fella?
When the duo past them Naruto was ready to jump up and yell at the hood guy for his lack of manners, but just as he was ready to jump the hood guy turned his head.
Naruto froze.
Literally froze.
But not just him – everything ells too.
The birds stopped in midflight – the leashes in the hood guy's hood froze in mid swing.
Only the spinning red eyes moved, and with every spin Naruto's heart beat slower, until it simply stopped.
Then the red eyes turned and disappeared in the darkness of the hood again.
The duo past and went into the apartment complex.
"Naruto, Aina come on up its dinner time."
-X-
Naruto felt the warm in his mind before the warmth of her body. She rested a leg over his lower torso and sneaked a hand under his night shirt. Her head rested on his shoulder and he felt the warmth of her breath on his skin through the shirt.
"Naruto?"
Naruto?
"What's wrong?"
What's wrong?
Naruto closed his eyes and turned his head trying to ignore the whisper from her lips and the echo of her thoughts.
NARUTO?
Just try to ignore her Naruto even if she is using force. Just ignore. You can ignore, just try to think blank. Blank, blank, blank – WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM RAMEN GET THE HELL OUT?
Naruto groaned into his pillow.
"Naruto did you just try to think black?" Aina whispered in his ear. He groaned again, he knew what was coming. He felt the rumble up his arm and then the chuckle got to his ear. Her groaned again. "But then you thought of ramen." She laughed louder, but not so loud that mama Chiyo would wake up.
"You suck at blanking Naruto, you know that," she chuckled.
"Shut up annoying double," he groaned a small blush forming on his cheek.
"But Naruto what are blanking for me?" the laugher was gone from her voice, seriousness replacing it.
"Nothing," he turned over hugging himself. He didn't even know what it was. Just something.
"What do you mea…"
"THIT ISN'T ENOUGH DANMIT!" the sound of glass shattering against the opposite side of the wall made the twins fall to the floor in surprise and fright. They both scrambled up off the floor and looked over bedside at the wall.
"CAN'T YOU DO ANYTHING RIGHT, BOY," the deep male voice screamed again. "I'M FUCKING HUNGRY; GET ME MORE TO EAT DANMIT."
More things were thrown around.
"Fucking dump."
They heard a door smacking and retreading footsteps.
"HUNGRY." Something hit against the wall again this time sending a small amount of concrete dust into Naruto's bed.
They heard a door smacking again and retreading footsteps.
"Fuck that was creepy," Naruto stammered.
Aina graphed his hand tightly. The warm brush in his mind was there immediately.
My room.
He got up from the floor together with her and they sneaked across the hall to her room.
What was that? What was that?
"Shh," Naruto graphed her face in his hands and tried to catch her eyes. "It's alright."
Things around the room had already started to shake on their places on the shelves. She choked on her own breath and her eyes flickered faster, a book flew through the room and hit one of the shaking penguins on a shelf.
"Shh."
Calm.
Another book took flight through the room.
CALM.
The flying books fell to the ground and the things on the shelves calmed down.
When he heard her breath even out, he kissed her on the forehead. He placed his hands on her shoulder and put their foreheads together.
Their breaths and hearths were in sync; he could feel the warm brush of her mind.
She finally calmed down.
He smiled gently as he saw how fascinated she was with his feet. He wriggled them a little. Hoping to make her laugh.
She didn't – but she looked at him.
Let's go to sleep.
Yes.
Their names are Naruto and Aina – mirror twins
