Walking the tight rope

Yunos house and a new arrival

“Hey Yuno, what’s up?” I ask after pulling my mask down.

“Hey shiki could you stay the night tonight and help me with a school project?”

“Hmmm that’s an odd request coming from you Yuno” Yuno was a straight a student who never asked for help on anything so something must be up.

“Alright you got me I wanted to talk to you about something important”

“Ok I’ll be over in about 20 minutes do you need anything” I say with a smirk.

“No and I’m fine and thanks shiki” she says before hanging up. I wonder what she wants to talk about, worst case scenario someone’s messing with her at school. But if anyone did they would have to have a death wish over there head goes everyone knows that if you mess with my friends I will go after you and I have no fear of getting in trouble for it. I thought to myself as changed into my normal clothes and walked out to the front of the bar where Stein was paying the bill for his boss. Once he spotted me he smiled and waved but I ignored him as I walked outside while texting Alucard letting him know that wouldn’t be home tonight. Stein rushed outside trying to catch my attention but I was nowhere in sight. I used my inhuman speed to get away from the bar before he could stop me; I wasn’t in the mood to play games with him tonight. Yuno lived in a 2 story house on the nice side of town; it was a tan house with black shutters. I walked up to her house and knocked on her door. A tall man with Red hair and brown eyes answered the door, Yuno’s dad, he had look of shock on his face which wasn’t surprising.

“Hello Sir, I’m shiki B earth, Yuno invited me over for a sleep over”

“Oh of course please do come in” he says quickly recollecting himself.

“Thank you” Nods before walking into the house where Yuno was waiting for me.

“Hey Yuno” I say following her up to her room.

“Hey the projects up here” She says quickly as we walk into her room where she closes and locks the door once were in her room.

“So what is it that you want to talk about that seems to be such a big secret” I say plopping down on to her bed.

“Shiki, Who are you really?” She says nervously standing by the door her back leaning against it.

“Oh, Where did that come from” I say calmly as if this was all just a big joke.

“I’m being serious you’re not really Shiki Beirth like you claim to be” she’s beginning to panic. I stare her in the eye trying to figure out how much she knows and doesn’t know.

“Ok miss detective then who am I really” I say not looking away.

“Your Shiki Foxe aren’t you” She’s says after looking away unable to meet my stare.

“How did you find this out?” I’m standing now my hand placed on my wrist ready to attack if I need to. But what she says next makes me relax and sit back on the bed.

“I saw your twin sister Ayame and when I looked into it I found that her twin had gone missing but she didn’t go missing she just changed her name, and that twin is you isn’t” She says all this was a scared look in her eye as if at any moment I would jump up and attack her.

“Yes it’s all true and I must commend you for figuring it all out” I say leaning back on her bed.

“But why was it that when I tried to tell Ayame that I knew where you were she acted like she had no idea who you were and then just walked away” She says siting next me after realizing that I wasn’t mad at her anymore.
