My Name is Fire (OHSHC)

Chapter Five - Twins

Spring break was ongoing, with a supplementary class right before the last weeks of my second year.

I let my hair down, looking to a mirror. The Host Club never did question my hair that went past my shoulders. I brushed it carefully, unlike my mother who was practically trying to kill me by pulling out my hair using a brush. I shuddered. She was my greatest fear.

I showered, then got dressed. I had a rather cool style; I wore skinny jeans with a quarter sleeve red collared shirt. To top it all off, I wore a light black jacket, rolled up. I grabbed my signature bracelet my best friend gave me years ago and an mp3 player.

"Jun-san, are you ready?" asked my attendant, Akira. He was rather young, close to my age, and was an orphan. Like me.

"Yes, I am." He opened the door, waiting for me to get inside before coming in himself. "Doraiba-san, can we go to the mall?"

"Okay, Fire-sama."

Akira and I talked in the back of the car. "Jun-san, why the mall?"

"First, Akira, when using my real name, no honorifics. And second, I just wanted to go out."

"You do realize if anyone who knows you sees you..."

"I'm betting whoever does can keep a secret. Anyways, Akira, you've known me since you were trained to serve my family; I'm okay."

Akira flinched. He didn't like me mentioning his way into the family.

"Akira, your services can be taken away; my parents are gone and my brother will allow you to enroll in school and live your life. With your brains, you'll catch up to me easily."

"N-no, I wouldn't leave someone like Jun out there without someone to watch."

"That's right, I need somebody who knows me close by. Just don't look so sad when I mention my parents. I myself wasn't on great terms with them."

"Okay."

We reached the outdoor mall, and everyone stared at my limo as the rather handsome Akira came out, opening the door for me. I came out, making the murmurs even louder. "I should've came in something less flashy," I sighed.

The limo drove away, leaving my friend and I to the mall. "At least I didn't come in uniform," Akira said.

"Can't get plain looking staff these days," I replied, yawning. "Come on, I gotta get some new clothes."

We walked close by each other into a department store. I went to the juniors section, spying for any collared shirts.

"Jun," Akira called. I went up to him, having made my selection of clothes. We checked out, and the driver came by to pick our things up.

"I wanna check out that store for some decor in my room," I said, tugging Akira's shirt like a child.

"You're the mistress," Akira laughed, and the both of us entered the store.

"Akira, what do you think will go well in my room?" I asked.

"Anything dark and/or creepy," he jested. I jabbed him to the side before looking for any beanbags and pillows.

"Akira, do you need anything for your living space? You're moving in tomorrow, after all."

"I couldn't ask for more when you're providing me with a corresponding room to your space in the Academy."

"Okay then, I'll take that as a no."

I looked around intently, almost being completely oblivious to my surroundings. That... was a total mistake.

"Sorry," I apologized, tripping over someone who was looking at things on the bottom shelf. I accidentally kicked his head.

"Ouch," the guy scratched his head, standing up.

Guess who it was?

Kyoya Ootori.

He fixed his glasses, and looked to me. "Fire; a coincidence to see you here. Then again, I doubt myself due to your feminine appearance."

I don't want to explain "feminine appearance," but, just saying, he's not talking about my clothes.

"My name is Jun Summit, twin sister of Fire," I explained. "I'd lie and say I'm him, but he'd be rather annoyed if I told one of the Host Club that he is not his own gender.'

"Are you in any way acquainted with the Host Club?"

"Actually, I sub for Fire sometimes for club activities," I said smoothly. "You guys never noticed. I don't live with my twin brother, and he neglects my existence almost completely. We were separated for ten years, since I stayed with the Suohs while he moved to the United States."

"Hmmm... okay."
