The Cursed Ones

Chapter One - ten years later

          "So you're new in this place aren't you? You must be. I haven't seen you around." The waitress smiled at me and I returned it. She was cute with her pink hair in a ponytail. "My name's Aiko, I'll be your waitress today so what can I get you new person?"
          I looked at the stage where people were setting up equipment. "Who's performing tonight?" She looked at the stage as well and looked back at me.
          "Oh, you're definitely new. The Twins are performing. Miyuki is the dark haired twin and she sings beautifully and Hanako has the light silver hair and her skills are amazing. Trust me you'll love them." She took out a note pad from her apron and a pen. "So what will it be stranger?"  I looked at the menu and skimmed it over briefly.
          "I'll just have a hot chocolate for now." She nodded and wrote it down.
          "Okay, I'll be back with your order in a little bit. I hope you enjoy the performance by The Twins." I leaned back in my seat as I waited for the performance to start. I wasn't as much interested in their performance but in the twins themselves. If my sources are correct then there are more to these girls than just performing.
          Two girls walked onto the stage and they had to be the twins. They had the exact same features but different hair color and eyes. Everyone became silent as they waited for them to start. They took their time, moving gracefully around the stage, preparing themselves. "Here you go." Aiko handed me my hot chocolate. A minute later Suzuko sat in front of me in the booth.
          "Oh good they haven't started yet. Of course you're here early. You do remember the rules don't you?" Suzuko looked at me sternly which looked amusing on her considering her stature. She was definitely shorter than most of the people I knew and the way she put her hair in two buns made her look younger than she already did.
          "Yeah, yeah. I only get to meet them and that's it. After that I leave them alone." I rolled my eyes at her. "Although I don't see why I can't be friends with your friends. I'm starting yo think you're ashamed of your dear brother."
          She pouted at me, taking my teasing too seriously. "You know I'm not like mom and dad. It's just that you would be wasting your time. Miyuki isn't a fan of a lot of people and she's so overprotective of her sister. You could try to talk to her about it but she would shoot you down. You can forget about approaching her sister too. What Miyuki says goes. Okay, Isamo?"
          "She sounds bossy." The lights started to dim and Suzuko shushed me despite the fact that I was no longer speaking. We both looked at the stage where Miyuki was sitting on a stool in front of a microphone and Hanako stood behind a keyboard. She began to play as Miyuki sang with her, perfectly in sync.

          "I don't know if it's right or wrong, you're making me change my plans.
          I'm starting to lose my mind, when I see you I go mad.
          All I know is you drive me crazy, but I can't let you go.
          I've never felt this way until you walked out the door.

          You pull me in, I push you out
          But I come back for more
          You're dangerous, should stay away.
          But it's impossible.
          When you look at me it all fades away.
          And I hope you choose to stay.

          You say I'm the one you want, then you go and start a fight.
          What's going on in your head? Why can't it all be black and white?

          You pull me in, I push you out
          But I come back for more
          You're dangerous, should stay away.
          But it's impossible.
          When you look at me it all fades away.
          And I hope you choose to stay.

          You're in my dreams,
          Please choose to stay.
          You say I'm in yours,
          Please choose to stay.
          Stay with me."
