I'M STILL ALIVE.

Chapter 8: In Dreams

It was aggravating. So frustrating. Those piercing eyes. That overly confident posture. That teasing smirk. It was enough to make one want to crash 90 miles per hour through a window into a room where a bomb is to pick it up and throw it with all their might just for stress relief.

"Stop staring at me." Mion said in a very cold voice. They were at school. It was bad enough when she got flustered when they were alone, but school was a completely different story. It wouldn't do her reputation any good if her classmates, as well as her close friends, saw how much of an advantage her twin had over her. She was the leader of this school. The top rank member of her club. She'd be damned if she would ever let anyone, especially her sister who had only just recently transferred here, take that title from he-

"No."

*Crash* Mion could feel her ever breaking pride shatter yet again.

'…Damn bitch.' Her thoughts rang out through her mind as Shion just continued to smile and stare. Mion felt a tinge of annoyance at her sister's refusal to comply. 'Those damn eyes. They're so damn annoying, what with their sharp features and lingering movements-wait. Lingering…? Ah…Ah shit! Ah, they are! Damn it! Don't just admire my body when we're in school! Wait, what am I thinking!? Don't admire my body at all! Damn it, my face feels hot! Ah, no. She'll defiantly notice. She always notices. Gah! Look away! Why do I always get caught up in my thoughts which make things worse!?'

Mion considered her options. Leave the room to walk through the halls for a bit, or stay here and deal with it. Remembering what happened the last time she stormed off alone into the hall, the latter was an automatic answer. A frustratingly automatic answer.

"…You're really red."

"…Shut up."

"No." Mion wasn't exactly sure why that one word pissed her off so much. No, she did know. She hated the sound of the one word coming from her sister's mouth because she knew it meant Shion had her in the palm of her hand.

"Go to hell."

"Wow, I've thought it before, but you two really aren't very close are you." Keiichi walked over to the pair. Mion decided to take that question to her advantage,

"Yep. I hate Shion. I wish she would just go back to okinomiya already and stay there." She gave a slight smirk as if she had won some trivial game. However, rather than taking offense, the older twin yet again came out on top,

"Ohh, Mion," she giggled before continuing in a seductive voice, "That's not what you were saying last night." Mion gave a blank look before realizing what Shion had just said.

"Huh!? W-WHAT ARE YOU TRYING TO SAY!? IDIOT!" She froze and looked at Keiichi, whose face was considerably red. Panic rose in Mion's voice, "AH! D-don't listen to anything she says! I didn't even see her last night! She's just making stuff u-"

"Oh, but I see you every night, Onee~" Shion hugged herself, "In my dreams!" At some point, Rena, Rika, and Satoko had come over as well.

"Huh? Shii-chan sees Mii-chan every night in her dreams?" Rena repeated the previous statement in a question to have it confirmed. Mion felt her heart sink. This was it. There was no going back. Nothing would end well.

"Ye-s~!" Shion replied enthusiastically, "I see her every night in my dreams, and she's always whimpering, 'Ah, S-Shion. Wait…Not…Not there…'"

Silence.

'…That's it. This is the end. I'll have to move to a new country, learn a new language, change my name, my living style, everything.' As Mion thought desperately about where to go in her life, blood trickled down Keiichi's nose, as well as Rena's.

"…Just…Just how close are you two…?" he asked, trying to sound calm.

"I don't get it. What's everyone talking about?" Satoko asked as Rika patted her head,

"There, there, Satoko. You're such a good girl." Question marks continued to rise above Satoko's head as a cloud of despair covered Mion's.

Mwahaha, Shion's a pervert. This fanfic is going everywhere, but then I remembered it's all a bunch of one shots that just relate to one another, rather than one continuing storyline. Also, I've been dead tired lately. And I've been reading the Higurashi visual novels, and I think it's cute how Mion's always saying she hates Shion when she obviously doesn't. Not sure when I'll update again. Right now I'm more into Umineko (the visual novel is beautiful. So beautiful). Fell free to give me ideas. The main reason I tend to not update, is because my imagination died when I was like 12, and I can't think of anything interesting anymore in this boring life of mine. Meh. I should stop typing now. I'm still tired XD Hope you enjoyed~
