Through the heart || Midari ikishima

Chapter One

I blinked my eyes open to the warm morning sunlight coming through the gap in my bedroom curtain. I wondered if I had overslept , maybe I had set my alarm to snooze by accident?

I picked up my phone and looked at the time , 5:26 am.

I groaned, rolling over and I shut my eyes again , however after a few moments it became clear that I wasn't going back to sleep anytime soon. Sitting up , I stretched my arms wide before pulling the covers off of myself. I stood up, slipping into my slippers and pulling on my satin robe before walking over to my vanity to take my hair rollers out.

I was absolutely dreading today, my first day back at school. That alone would have been bad enough in itself, but to top it off it was the same school as my step sisters. They were in their third year this year , I was just starting my first. I didn't know what exactly I was meant to do today either , apparently the momobami's have 'roles' at the school , and as I shared their last name my father expects me to do the same. Bullshit.

I stood up after taking the last roller out , grabbed my phone and headed out my room. I figured it being so early I'd be able to go downstairs , have my morning coffee and come back up without having to talk to anyone. I shook my head slightly , its not like i talked to my step sisters anyways and when I talked to my mum or dad it was because they needed me to do something or i had done something wrong.

I walked down the spiral staircase and into the kitchen, the only person in there was a maid. I gave her a quick nod before walking over to the coffee machine and turning it on. While i waited for it to warm up i took my airpods out of my pocket and connected them. I scrolled through my music for a moment before putting on 'exit music' by radiohead. I put my airpods in and grabbed a coffee mug from the cupboard.

I rubbed the bridge of my nose , I could feel a headache coming on. I put the coffee mug under the machine and turned it on , then turned to the medicine cabinet and got two ibuprofens out.

I swallowed them dry.

"Fuck..." I groaned out of pure exhaustion. I had slept awfully for the past week, going to bed around 4am and waking up at 2pm. I moved back over to the coffee maker , grabbed my mug and pulled out a stall at the island counter and sat down.

I looked at my phone as I drank my coffee , 5:46am. There was no way that simple task had really taken me 20 fucking minutes. As i finished my coffee someone walked into the kitchen , i looked up but quickly looked back at my phone as kirari walked in. or at least i think it's her , i've barely been around them since i turned 9 it's hard to know anymore.

I could feel her eyes bearing into my skin. God its so unnerving when she does that , i wish she would just fuck off in all honesty. However i could tell she wanted something so , sighing , i turned my music off and put my earpods away.

"Can I help?" I looked up at her , she was leaning against the side drinking her own drink she had made. I wasn't even sure if she was going to respond to me as she just watched me for a few moments.

"You start today." she responded , oh so she did still have a voice. "Be ready to leave at 6:15. I expect you to come with me and ririka to the student council room where you will be given a role of some sort."

"...ok." I quickly stood up , putting my cup on the side and went to walk out the door.

"I wasn't done." I stopped at her words , turning at the door frame to face her. "Hows your medical condition?" she asked. I looked at her confused , as far as i knew she knew nothing about any of it, and i would have hardly called it a 'medical condition'.

"I don't have a medical condition, I don't know what you are on about." I shrugged at her.

"Oh please don't act like me and ririka don't see you running off to the bathroom after a singular bite of dinner." she said coldly. My eyes widened in shock a bit , i don't usually have dinner around any of the family when i do have dinner.

"I'm better now." I responded in the same , cold , manner before turning back around and leaving quickly.

I returned back to my bedroom in moments, feeling slightly shaken up by her words. I wondered if she had told either of my parents. I'd have to assume she did not otherwise surely someone would have tried to talk to me.

Then again , it is my parents I'm on about. When have they given two shits about me? I shrugged it off and got dressed, ready for school.
