Hey guys. This is the third. I decided to change the name of this story from Two For Tragedy to For The Heart I Once Had... I hope you enjoy this one. ^_^ And you had better review...
Or else...
The bell rang, and shrill as it was, it was a long awaited sound from the students. They filed out, the zealous boys getting stuck in the doorways as they all tried to pile out at once. Two boys were farther behind the pack, talking as they packed up their supplies slowly.
"So this is going to be Dark's first theft since Kari-san woke up?" A boy with red hair and red eyes, Daisuke Niwa, asked.
His friend, a boy with pale blue hair and Sapphire eyes, Satoshi Hikari, replied, "Yes, I guess my break is over." He laughed, but it wasn't a strong sound. He was still recovering from his long months of depression. "But since it's because Kari-Imouto is finally awake, I don't mind so much."
Daisuke smiled, "Me neither."
As they continued to talk, they exited the building. There weren't many other students around, except two other girls. They were walking like they were boys, side by side on the same path, but the girls were going towards them and were silent. The taller one, a girl with long blue hair so dark it was nearly black, and blue eyes dark enough to be black, except for the slightly lighter outside rim, where the color was light enough to see some of the midnight blue. The shorter girl (but not by much) had short, layered, spiky hair, that looked black except for the sun-bleached natural highlights of vivid blood red. Her eyes were unusual as well, green only around the pupil, which quickly lightened into a bright yellow for the rest of the iris.
As the two groups walked past each other, the shorter girl -the one with red highlights - pounced on Daisuke. "I LOVE YOUR HAIR!"
There was an infinite moment of silence. Daisuke had a priceless look on his face, blushing like crazy and wondering why some crazy girl had just attacked him. He stood paralyzed as he tried to figure out the politest way to deal with the girl. The shorter girl stayed as she was, unabashed and apparently oblivious to the suddenly awkward atmosphere. Satoshi watched with wide, bewildered eyes. The taller girl watched with bored eyes. She was the one who finally broke the silence.
"Miyako, stop that. You don't need another restraining order." Her unnerving eyes shifted to Satoshi. "Besides, I think his hair is better."
Miyako turned to her companion, still holding Daisuke. "But this boy seems nice." She turned back to Daisuke, her eyes just as unnerving as her sisters, but less cold. She petted his hair. "You won't get a restraining order will you?" Without giving him time to answer, she turned back to the other girl. "See? And besides, Kouta, you only like his" Satoshi's "hair because it's blue!"
Kouta shrugged, "So."
Daisuke finally found his voice. "Um... Miyako-san..."
Miyako turned her attention back to him and released him. "Miyako-Chan is fine."
Satoshi cut in. "Do you two go here?" The two girls looked suspicious to him.
Daisuke turned to his friend, "Yes they do. I recognize those pants." He pointed to the pants Kouta was wearing then blushed. She was wearing the girl's uniform shirt, but she was wearing the boy's pants. In confusion, Daisuke turned to Miyako. She was wearing the traditional girl's uniform, but she was wearing skinny jeans under her skirt! "Uhhhh… Miyako-Sa-" "Chan!" She interrupted. "Miyako-Chan, how long have the two of you been attending here?" Miyako was about to answer, but Kouta did first. "6 Months." Satoshi thought he saw something flicker in her eyes, but it was hard to tell with the girl. Miyako grinned. "We know our uniforms look different from the others. At first, the school tried to stop us, but they got used to us." Miyako giggled and Kouta just rolled her eyes, making Daisuke wonder what exactly the girls had done to get the school to accept their rebellious dress code.. "Miyako-Imouto… I think it's time you stop harassing these two. We have to get home. We have a job tonight, remember?" Her eyes shifted over the boys in a way that made Satoshi think of an x-ray, then settled on Miyako. Miyako let go of Daisuke. "You're right! I completely forgot!" Kouta sighed softly and shook her head at her sister. Miyako then directed her attention back to Satoshi and Daisuke. "We have to go now, but we'll see you around school." Miyako stepped back and ran into someone.
"Oh! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to! I wasn't paying attention!" Miyako spun around and her eyes caught Kari's. Her eyes were the same Sapphire blue as Satoshi's and they held many emotions. Her hair was also the same light shade of blue as Satoshi's and it was cut slightly above her shoulders and layered. She had a very pale complexion and an extremely visible scar down the side of her face. It had to be a new scar. She appeared no older than 16. "It's alright!" She grinned. "Kari-Imouto! What are you doing out of the house? You shouldn't be doing much for a few more days, and, even then, you should be taking it easy! Doctors Orders!" Satoshi chastised. She rolled her eyes. "Chill out Satoshi-Nii! I've been resting for 6 months! I'm restless!!! Besides, I'm fully healed! It's not like I'm going to over-exert and keel over or something like that! I need fresh air!"
Satoshi shook his head. "Let's get you back to the house…" She navigated around Satoshi. "Hey! Who are these two?" Kari asked about Miyako and Kouta. The red-headed girl grinned. "Hello! My name is Miyako Kurenai and this is my sister, Kouta Kurenai!" Kari grinned at her and held her hand out to have it shaken. "My name is Kari. Kari Hikari. This is my older brother, Satoshi Hikari and our friend, Daisuke Niwa!" "Kari-Imouto…" Satoshi's voice rang out, somewhat annoyed. Kari rolled her eyes again. "I have to go now, but I'll see you at school on Monday. The doctor thinks I need a few more days of rest, but I think differently." Miyako giggled. "Alrighty Kari-Chan! It was nice to meet you and I look forward to seeing you again on Monday! Don't you Kouta-Onii?" Kouta just nodded, leveling her gaze with Kari's and Kari returning the look. For a moment, Kari's eyes widened and then her gaze shifted toward Satoshi. "We really have to go, Miyako-Imouto." Her gaze turned away. "Have a good evening." Miyako and Kouta walked away, Kouta just as silent as she had been upon arriving, and Miyako chattering about random things.
