"Arisu...." Glared at my teacher as she called at me but used the wrong name. My teacher, a woman in her late twenties with long dark brown hair and green eyes chirped a weak chirp of fear as I glared at her. I didn't say anything but turned my head around back to look at Arisu who was enjoying herself with the math problems we all had. She and I are in the same class.

"S—sorry, Arisa-kun," Sensei said apologetically. I pressed my lips together and went straight back to answering the stupid questions, all the while, the other kids in the class had already started whispering about what just happened. I gave them all a stern glaring warning before getting back to my work. Sensei, however, was locked full up with Arisu.

Arisu and I are different. In many ways people just don't understand. But even so, many people still mistake me for her and her for me. It's annoying!

I let my pencil fall down from my grip and down to my desk. I raised my head and looked out the window. Thank goodness I had be placed to a seat next to the window. As I looked out the window, I could see that the sky had turned a pretty shade of clear pale blue. The blue was so bright and valiant that it almost seemed as though there hadn't been any rain for a month. But there had. Three straight weeks of a downcast of rain and showers. High but not too violent winds, and many days stuck inside. Now, it was all clear and seemed at ease. Well, for the most part.

As I stated put the window, my mind started to wander a bit. It was about three years now that mom had gone off to continue her work overseas. Almost three years of not knowing whether if she was alright or not. Almost three years of insufferable Arisu hanging around me!

As my mind whirled over that, I didn't notice how much time passed by until the last school bell rang and everyone started getting out of their seats. "Okay everyone, the rest of the worksheet is due tomorrow," Sensei told us as everyone packed up. "Make sure to go over your questions and answers, some of them will be on the quiz on Firday."

"Okay!" Everyone replied back.

I waited until everyone had gone out until I got up from my seat and started packing. What u didn't expect was for Arisu to have waited for me. "Hey," I stopped what I was doing and turned around. 

"What?" I asked, teeth clenched.

Arisu looked at me for a second, she and I look similarly alike, but there are heavy differences. We both have black hair, red eyes, and fair skin. But one of my eye is a golden shade of amber with a clock face drawn into the iris. Personally difference also varies. She was a more sweet and Miss Smarty-pants while I was the treble of the family.

"Don't go to your headquarters or whatever it is," she said. Her face was twisted with disgust. I know she hates that place. Maybe because she was almost kidnapped by one of the gang groups that usually hangs around there (had to save her), or was it because she just didn't like it. Who knows.

"Why?" I asked narrowing my eyes.

Arisu frowned. "Anna's coming to visit." 

I blinked. Anna, Kushina Anna, was the niece of Honami Kushina. A distant relative of ours. She, for almost two years now, has been spending some time with another gang group that lives in Shizume City. The gang she hangs out is called HOMRA. They're the red clan and everyone is scared of them. Well, I'm not. Just because they have power doesn't make them monsters. Besides, I'm pretty sure they're not all bad. If they allow such a young girl to join them.

"Humph," I groaned. "Fine." I picked up my backpack and stomped out from the classroom. Who was Arisu anyway, to give my orders like that!?

But, it's going to be fun having Anna around again.
