"Just who the hell do you think you are to decide that for us?" Arisu screams so loud that I swear I can hear the chandeliers shatter, Merui thinks to herself. They've been going at it for about twelve hours now; I wasn't in the mood to argue so I sat with Kazuki and helped him feed Emiko, which was a bitch because she kept asking where daddy is, and I couldn't exactly tell her that Daddy's dead.
Hiroki wouldn't look at her as he wrapped up a few glasses in newspaper; we weren't staying in the Haninozuka's house, but were staying in their guest house, which from pictures seemed pretty spacey, and on the bright side that did mean more privacy. I knew we wouldn't be able to stay here, I think we all did; But Arisu never liked to take things lying down. "Stop acting like a child and go pack." He said, his voice has lost all tone and I know my brother. He was sad, he was shaken, and damnit the last thing he wanted to do was hurt his little sister; Of course, my twin would never see that, she was always closer to Kazuki.
I cringe at the sound of her, well our, door slam. Hiroki looks at me with weary eyes.
"Please don't start on me too." He begs.
I get up wrapping my arms around my older Brother, he's 18, and soon he's going to have to take over our Father's company; but not only that he has to move to a new country, and take care of us. I know that his is hard on him, and I can't help but worry for his sanity.
"Relax, I won't. I get it, this is stressful and our dear Arisu just doesn't want to make things easy."
"Can you please go help her pack?" He begs.
"Yeah." I reply simply, giving him a smile and walking up the wooden stairs to my sisters room, It's locked of course but everyone in the family knows that there's a spare key on the top of the door frame, I reach up and grab it, using it to unlock the door.
Stepping into our room, a navy walled room that was littered in posters, and quotes, and just about anything you could imagine, Arisu was on one of the two beds that were adjacent to each other. She had her ear buds in her ear and was turned to the wall.
"Lemme guess Celldweller?" I say rubbing my sisters back, the brunette looks up through tear filled eyes. "Yeah sorta." I smile, looking at her, for someone so different from me, we can be just a like. "That's good, at least they calm you down." She sits up.
"I'm not a child." I glare, "Then stop acting like one."
She glares back. "You just don't get it! He's always been closer to you but just because I break a few rules I'm a dirty rebel, well I have a life here and I don't want to leave!"
"And I do? God, what about Corey? My sexy cello guy?" I screech.
"Yeah, good luck finding the Asian version of that fine piece of ass." She says with a grin.
"Exactly, so were both fucked! Anyway we had a life there at one point, let's try to regain the friends we had, besides I'm a little curious to see how Kyouya's changed." I say with a wink.
"What are the chances of me getting out of this?" She groans.
"None. Now come on help me pack!" I groan back and as pissed off as she is, she does so.
You see, no one really understands our relationship; Were so mean to each other during school, but were in the same clique, we love each other yet we can get into a fist fight over the curling iron and the only way to get though to one another is tough love, yet at the same time we can be sweet, wipe away each other's tears, and hold on to each other like our life depends on it.
Just then the shattering of glass sounds through the house, we both groan looking at each other.
"Kazuki! We told you not to touch anything!" We scream in sync running down the stairs two at a time to see what exactly our famine brother broke. As it turns out it was just a plate, we both sigh in relief turning to the ginger.
"What were you doing?" We both ask, hands on our hips.
"I… wanted toast?"
"I'm gonna kick your ass!" We both shriek.
"Stop doing that, you two are fucking creepy." He snaps.
We giggle. "Do what?"We both say in sync.
"Fuck you!" He snaps running up the stairs with his uncooked toast; We shrug noticing that Hiroki left the room we both sit down to gossip about this new school.
"So what do you think it's going to be like?" Arisu says messing with a strand of pink hair.
"Probably really stuck up, but it'll be kick ass to have on an application."
"No I mean the people dumbass." She snaps.
"Well I dunno, Last time I saw Kyouya he was a timid child, and the twins were sort of locked up in their own world, Honey's obviously changed, and he never used to acknowledge how much he loved sweets, come to think of it."
"I thought you didn't remember?" She says suspiciously.
"Went looking for my old journal." I said with a shrug.
"Did you write about how you planned to marry the Otoori's son?" A deep voice teased, they turned around to find their brother Hiroki.
My face flames read. "You bastard you read my journal!" I scream on the top of my lungs.
"Oh I love, love, love him! He's so perfect! And amazing and ooooh." He quotes with a mocking look. I glance down to see Arisu on the floor, I grab a fork.
"Run. " I command.
