An odd life

Chapter 2: Teenage years, part 1

"You broke our promise." We said. She seemed surprised to see us but the smiled.

"I had no choice did i? Nobody can tell you three apart! It's just possible that no one will turn up in your whole lives that can really tell you three apart." The lady maid we really liked said that to us and then disappeared into the darkness of the night.

I went back inside and saw the bank broken in pieces, just like my hope felt right now. I could hear her words in my mind and clenched my hand. Can we really be told apart or will we nobody be able to tell us apart? Will anyone be able to look me in the eyes and confidently say ' your kouru'? Of course after this, with these words constantly replaying in our minds we became progressively more twisted as we grew up. We gave a friendly barrier and sometimes there were people who were to dense to notice it but we got rid of them just like the last. Of course that all changed when blondie showed up.

"Okay then, which one is hikaru? Can you guess?" Hikaru, kaoru and i asked in sync to the girl who wanted to play with us. She pointed at one of us.

"Your hikaru." She said. We were always three, yet one. The three of us were a single unique, being. This was very important.

                8 years later

But we were separate beings. I thought sitting on the windowsill with my brothers. The one that wasn't me was hikaru and kaoru. The one that wasn't kaoru was me and hikaru, and the one that wasn't hikaru was me an kaoru. For us, this was something that was-

"She's here." Hikaru interrupted my thoughts. I looked out the window and there was that girl who brought that letter to my desk. 

"Yeah your right." Kaoru replied.

"She was late too." I said. We went down and i went up to the girl as both hikaru and kaoru hid behind the pillars.

"Sorry, i must have kept you waiting." I gave her a fake smile." I read you letter."

"Hikaru-" She tried to interrupt

"Sorry." I cut her off sharply smile still there." I'm not hikaru but i'm kouru." I brought out her letter. She gasped and looked embarrassed. " You must have mistaken my desk for hikaru's when you put the letter in." She didn't answer so i carried on. " Even so," I gave a seductive smile " Would you mind if it was me?" I leaned closer to her face." The truth is, i always thought that you were cute and hikaru seems to have another girl he likes. Well, would you mind?" She had a relived face.

"Um, i" She took a deep breath."I'm okay for you kouru." The smile on my face disappeared and a smirk took it's place.

"Hey hikaru!" I called" She said she'll be fine with you." I heard her gasp when both hikaru and kaoru came from their hiding places.

"They were here the whole time?!" She asked.

I ignored her." This isn't getting any fun. I'm getting tired of the same old pattern."

"How mean of you! How mean of you!"She shouted in tears. I gave her a glare.

"You're the one who's mean, aren't you?" She seemed surprised at my words and gasped again. As hikaru and kaoru came walking towards us i carried on talking." You're okay with either one of us? Who do you think you are?" I put her letter in view again. " Another thing, that hairstyle doesn't look good on you."

"If you want us to go out with you" Hikaru started.

"Then brush up on your fashion sense."Kaoru finished. This time all three of us grinned at her.
