Chapter 20:

「 "..[F/n].I know that friend of yours moved , but it has been a month and you can't just live your days grimly like that," her mother knocked on her daughter's door softly , letting her soothing voice slipped in through the gaps on the doorframe.

On her arm , a breakfast tray awaits , inviting their smell in the small girl's room but she seemed to be able to hold back.

"[F/n] , after you eat these..let's go jogging with mom and Koushi , yeah..? Papa won't be home until late night," She offered her wih tone laced with sincerity , chuckle escaping her lips while the elementary girl opened her door just a little for her big red eyes to show between the gaps.

She had always known what her children's fear and love.How her children love volleyball just like she did in highschool , how they are actually bright and cheerful kids just like their father when he was a child, and how her kids actually feared their father.

Their father is an actually cheerful man , but turned stricter since they have children.The fact that one of their twin children posseses weird red colored iris , and how much the neighborhood seemed to believe too much in supersitions and myths made himself turn into his family's shield , puting extra work in that since one of their family members is extraordinary.

When he knew she got bullied in kindergarten and the beginning of elementary, he started to ban her from doing much works outside the house and called teacher to their house instead , one who feared God and not Myths or stupid belief.

And moved.

No volleyballs , just an indoor hobbies.Drawing, playing guitar , cooking , and others.The closeness between the twin brother and sister also effects her will to explore the outside world.That's why , he felt better to be hated by his children than to let them suffer under the stereotypes and discrimination of the outside people.

So he set them apart.

In one roof , but limited face to face meeting.

"...is that alright..?"

Her mother giggled at her daughter's adorable drooped face.She lowered herself down and patted her daughter on the head.

"It's okay as long you stay close with Koushi and mom.Don't stray away without mom like last time , understand..?"

[F/n] nodded , enjoying the headpat a bit longer.

"Hmm,"

Everything was going fine , until their father died in accident and [F/n]'s mother had to work as the family spine when Koushi entered middleschool.

Less time to spent with their mother , but for the twins , more time back spent with each other.Being prohibited to talk to your twin unidentical brother for a long time affects way too much on how they act.

Any other siblings might got into fights much more than how much they got peaceful time.Unlike these Sugawara twins.

▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪▪

"H-He-Hel-Lo-o...???!!!"

The stuttering word echoes in the inhibited big house multiple times , scaring the voice owner herself.

She could piss herself right then and there , but the image of how raged her mom will be if she pissed her pants seemed to be scarier in sound than being jumpscared by a ghost.

How could she appear here? She was supposed to be behind her mother and Koushi right now , jogging.

Yet somehow she got led here.

"H-Hello...HHYYYYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!"

her screeches exploded in the old building , fearing the nesting birds on the backyard while the elementary kid jumped away at what appeared behind the walls.

A mop of brown hair with cowlicks.」

"Is she the Sugawara [F/n] I know..?" Daichi whispered to the grey haired third year next to him who got the same confused stare sent to [F/n].The only active third year players tried their best to compress their concern towards the girl who's currently talking together with the first years and second years.

What caught their eyes are how the new manager talked with the others without stuttering.Although her eyes don't always stare back at the others , but it's considered as a rare occasion since usually , the latter looked socially awkward to everybody.

Like how she ruffles Hinata and Kageyama's hair now , with a mischievous glint on her eyes , enjoying her times with the adorable first years.

Daichi grinned.

"Seems like it's a good choice to finally bring her out to the real public Highschool," he murmured , reaching her twin's ears who frowned at the idea.A sigh stopped Daichi's proud grin , wiping it off only to be replaced by a confused stare."Why are you sighing..?"

Koushi's gaze lingered on his twin's figure as he walked away from where he stood next to Daichi.

"She didn't improve from a good way..but a traumatizing way," he shook his head in concern , taking the captain's arm to pull him to the others."She talked to us just fine because she feels comfortable with us more..THAN those stupid students in this school,"

Daichi , who took a mere second to understand the latter's statement furrowed his brows.

He might be right.

And those rumours about [F/n] are too...outrageous..? It made sense a bit , but people fuss over it and exaggerated it the moment they heard about it.

Who started the rumours in the first place..?

Kuu : A purple haired bitch.

"What...?" Daichi and Koushi turned to look at each other , both raising their eyebrows in surprise."What did you say..?"

But the two continued on shaking their head in disagreement , shrugging before approaching their teammates , unaware of two pairs of eyes that pierced into their souls from the gym window.So do the grey haired female who was their current observation target.

Unfortunately for them , a person in the gym got a sharp eyesight , enough to notice their both bright rare eyes.

What's more , enough to realize that they tried to take a picture of the grey haired female in the gym.

It happened so fast , when they attracted themselves off the window while a dark green haired male with freckles in the gym yelled from across the court , gaining the whole team's attention only with a sentence , asking for a confirmation whether any of them got a friend waiting outside.

Right when the two figure ran out from the path towards the gym , the door busted open , revealing the team who reluctantly peeked outside.

"I swear i saw them taking a pic.. while peeking theoigh the window just now,"

"No one's..eh? There's two people running on the corner.." Tanaka uttered , sending shivers to a pair of grey haired twin , who thought the same thing and ran out of the gym right after they confirmed their thoughts with a nod.

"Wh-Suga-senpai..?! [F/n]-senpai..?!!" Hinata and Nishinoya stumbled to the side , only able to see the twin's quick sprint to the two figures."C-Captain!!"

Daichi's strides quickened when he heard the commotion , following the other's gaze on the two figures who disappeared at the end of the path.

"What are they doing?!" Daichi turned to the rest , who stammered for answers.

"We don't know , they just ran out of the gym right when they saw the persons...!" Ennoshita assumed , backing off with a confused demeanor, no different from his other teammates.Daichi's gaze stayed on the direction where they dissapered , spinning his mind for a second before grasping unto the current situation.He turned back to the court , yelling the others to continue doing the drills , so they could finish the training quicker than usual.

The others could only wonder what in the world happened while the captain roughly gritted his teeth in concern.[DaiSuga at its highest---]

Except for a blondie , who gazes distantly at the last spot where he saw the quick grey haired senpais ran to.

"So I was right about that.."

"TSUKISHIMA.BACK TO THE DRILLS!"

"..Hai.."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"STOP!!"

The feminine voice reached all the way to the gate of the Karasuno Highschool , an empty space left in dusts at this hour , when the students who got no club hour had gotten home.But different from usual, there are two unrecognized students who entered the gate with worry filling their mind as they stomped to the gym--although they knew nothing about the school mapping.

Yet in midst of their worried thoughts , they managed to hear the desperate yell , thrown from the yard direction.

There are two boys running with all their might towards them.And twins chasing after them..

"Wait , Koushi?! [F/n]?!" The male student flinched in surprise, not expecting the weird chaotic moment.Unlike the girl next to him , who acted right when Koushi yelled about stopping the two people.

The boy was about to ask the girl to stay back , but failed when the girl approached the running boys.

"Get away!!!" One of the running boys yelled franticly , flailing his arms unlike the other one.

At this point , [F/n] realizes how lucky she is to have a such caring bestfriend..

..with martial arts ability.

Three pairs of eyes could only widen in surprise from afar as the girl threw her leg out to the blond boy , making him locked on his feet and stumble to the front defenseless.The action sent last second shock to the other boy , who sped up and ran to the other direction , only to be suddenly met face by face with the same girl , who pulled his arm in a blink and threw him over her shoulder and slam him to the ground hard , enough to make him immobilized for a while.

Took her a second before pulling him back to the blond guy who groaned , trying to get up but stopped with a hard stomp on his back.

The owner of the stomping leg smirked down on the blond's gazing up face , who retorted to a frown the moment he realized he got beaten up by a girl.

"What did you little boys do to get yourself chased by two third years..?"

Koushi , [F/n] , and Shiho gasped in admiration like fangirls , admiring Nishina's rare show off.

"G-GAKEEEE..!!"

Nishina's head turned to her bestfriend , who still hummed in admiration.

"[F/n]..!! I came to visit you..!Anyway , what did these boys do to you?" She tilted her head , actually a bit guilty to stomp on the blond.Her guilt increased when the blond let out a few grunts in pain.

That's all it took to pull her foot off.

"Well , they spied on us during practice , so.." [F/n] said , her voice trailing off in admiration but also a tiny bit guilt for the boys who got stacked like corpses on the ground , near gate yard under the evening sunrays.

Her sentence got finished by Koushi , who snapped out from his trance."And at this kind of condition , their behaviours are suspicious,".His words got followed by long strides towards the two boys with unbuttoned gakuran.

He squinted when the two males averted their gazes on [F/n] as he approached them.An irk mark popped on his forehead the moment they keep avoiding his glare.

"OY!!"

"Hyaa!!" The blond one screeches."W-What..?!"

Shiho facepalmed.

"You both just spied on them and you asked what..?"

The blond one uttered incoherent grumbles as he turned his head down , with stubbornness painted on his face.Meanwhile , the dark blue haired male just sighed in despair.His averted byzantine orbs stared back to Koushi , who skidded back a bit.

"You...."

"Um..i think they need to get up first," [F/n] suggested , and Nishina wasted no time on pulling the taller males back on their feet.

[F/n]'s sure she never got into any more awkward moment than this.The tall boys stood up and brushed the dusts off their uniform , a desperate or either a cranky demeanor standing out.

"Now answer me.Why were you spying on [F/n]..?" Koushi straight up faced them , intruding their personal space.

The frown on their faces made him got pissed more.He looked like he had held all his anger back all this time.

Unless..

"Spying on her..? What makes you think that...?" And as if he had no patience left on him, Koushi striked up.

"Oh sorry , let me correct my words.Why are you peeking in the gym and took a photo when it's way past the going home hour and straight up ran when we checked out..?" Koushi smiled sardonically , his arms giving put to the sides , landing on his hip in a chepfallen deportment.His hazel brown eyes which genetically only passed down on him from their parents pierced to their.....

...bright green and byzantine ones...?

Koushi , who just noticed this kept staring on their eyes.They are a pair of rare colors in Japan.Blond hair and bright green...like western people and a Japanese with unusual dark purple eyes.(forget the fact that Hinata got orange eyes and hair and satori got a freaking red hair--Just imagine when there are real bright green , and byzantine colored eyes irl in ur school and u got red eyes PURE SINCE BIRTH--Imagine how would people react)

The dark blue haired one sighed for like--the thousand times , earning a mad yell from the blond.

"You're the one who decided to , don't just sigh there like a snowman!!!"

"Ugh..what a drag..."(shikamaru *keh*)

Koushi , still tapping his foot against the ground impatiently , earned a short bow from the dark blue haired male.

"Sorry for the disturbance, Sugawara Koushi-senpai, Sugawara [F/n]-senpai," he carried on , silently getting himself some bonus points from Koushi for being polite.He looked down."We indeed spied on you,"

That last sentence sent the blond burning in flames of hell.

"YOU STR8 UP CONFESSED?!!! HOW FUCKED UP R U?!" the blond screamed out incoherent noises accompanying his raging yell , earning a smack from Nishina who got uncomfortable by the heat of the non existential flames.

"This is verbal conversation, kid,"

bONK

"OucH!!"

Ignoring the blond's antics , Koushi raised an eyebrow as he eyed the first years up down.

"And why is that..?"

"Because i was the one who sent the letter,"

Koushi needs a memory digger.

You know , something to crank the upper memories up so he could seek for the buried deep memories beneath them.

That'll be useful to look for lost stuffs.

Yet now Koushi really wanted have one right that instant.

"..Pardon...what letter...??"

The pair of byzanine orbs diverted to the other hazel ones other than the ones in front of him.

[F/n]'s.

"So you haven't told him..??" He asked in a confused manner , as if [F/n]'s some kind of rare existing bug.

You know , like amused but also a bit scared or disgusted..?

Yeah , just like the way people look at me.

Sheesh Kuu , stop your existential crisis murmurs.You are infecting the chapter.

Sorry.

But the truth lmao--

[F/n] hesitantly shook her head.When actually all hell broke loose in her mind.All of her different 8 personalities jumped out of their discussion seats to commit arson.

WHAT LETTER?! WHAT LETTER?!

IS IT CONFESSION LETTER..?

NO WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S A CONFESSION LETTER YOU ARE AN ABSOLUTE ROTTEN POTATO--

WHY IS MY MIND BEING SUCH A DICK AT TIMES LIKE THIS?!

WHAT SHOULD I SAY TO REPLY HIM?!

'PUNTEN SLUR'?!

WAIT WHAT LANGUAGE IS THAT???!!

[F/N] , FOCUS YOUR ASS ON THE BOY!!!

WAIT THAT SOUNDED WRONG--

"UH..?! What letter...?!" [F/n] squeaked out , cussing her awkward self at last seconds when the male sighed , without turning away , pointing to the roof's direction.

"That just happened not until a few days ago, and you forgot it..? The letter you found on the roof," he rolled his eyes.

Wow.Rude.

"..you mean the letter you laid on my lap after you cowardly chopped me on the nape to make me fell unconcious," [F/n] tried to glare at him , recalling the moment her vision blackened.

That explanation threw Koushi's rational thoughts out of the window.

"HE WHAT?!!!!"

That moment , the dark blue haired male knew...

He fucked up.

Koushi , as expected by [F/n] , threw out his hand to the first year's collar , pulling him down on the same eye level as his.

This moved Nishina's arm to Koushi's, preventing unwanted bloody fight.

Koushi looked ready to be a killer mom.

Okay , scratch the mom part.

"K-Koushi!! What's wrong with you?! I told you before , no violence!! And you weren't like yourself either!" [F/n] tried pry him back , even though her try did not make him budge even a centimeter.

"Have your mind processed what you just said yourself ?! He could have done something to you!!" Koushi growled.

"No , he won't..!!"

He snapped hsi head to his twin in disbelief.

"How could you be so sure?!!"

[F/n] gulped.

"Because they are in our side, okay?! They are trying to help me...at least by what written in the letter..!!" She pulled on his arms harder , only able make the male turn to her with a visible confusion.

His sceptical gaze moved her hands to the pocket of her gym clothes , fortunately for her , which is still there for she always brought it with her for times like this.

She franticly pulled the crumpled envelope with indescribable feeling , shoving the letter to her twin , almost slapping him with it.

"Read...read it! He said I'm in danger," she soared , taking Nishina and Shiho's attentions as well , scampering to Koushi's side in order to sneak a peak over what's written.

[If you forgot the writings , you can check at the "You're not the only one" chapter]

"..Did you really mean this..?" Koushi turned slowly to the first year , who just nodded suprisingly calmly under Koushi's hard grip.

A single nodding gesture softened Koushi's stubborn gaze , which lingered away after a few seconds together with his grasping hand.

It took 3 awkward seconds for the first year to straighten his collar again , tailing behind Koushi who approached her to seize the letter again.

"..Answer me," Koushi demanded."Who are you?Why did you knock her out only to give her this letter? What do you get from helping her? And why exactly did you help her? And what do you mean 'she's not the only one'..?"

Nishina slipped in between the two of them , patting the male twin on his stiff shoulders.

"Whoa..calm down , Koushi.Calm down.It's not like you.Give the first year brats to answer one by one , yeah??"

"What was that supposed to mean , an insult?" The blond murmured , earning a light smack from Nishina.
"I just saved you , kid,"

Koushi's gaze pierced the dark blue haired first year's unusual byzantine orbs , something you would only see on some highschool girls wearing softlenses.

But no.His next statement shook the thoughts off Koushi's mind.

Because he must have caught Koushi's hesitating gaze on his eyes.

"We can't risk letting our identities known by her so soon , actually.Because she could have told HER,"Kitaro mumbled."That's the answer to why we had to knock her conciousness out,"

"I am Arisuna Yokuro," he obeyed."Class 1-4 , and by the means of 'she's not the only one', i meant he...and me," he glanced to his blond partner."You know,"

"I suppose you're familiar with the Arisuna last name,"

Koushi just frowned at his spot , gaze lingering on both males , unnoticing [F/n]'s horrified gasp.

"..I-I'm Masayoshi Kitaro..!" The blond sputtered, trying dodge Nishina's light smack as she tried to make him speak for he cannot understand the meaning of Koushi's disbelief gaze."Class 1-3 , American-Japanese genes--"

"Kitaro.Nobody asked,"

Koushi's gaze faltered that moment, his eyes widened just like [F/n]'s.

"Arisuna.....same lastname as Arisuna Mairi?"

He can see a hesitating movement of his pupils , before an unwanted word reached their ears.

"Yes."

"She is my sister,"

The blond stiffled a grunt , glancing at his dark blue haired partner who seemed to can't choose a better timing to spurt out that information.

His dilating light green orbs pierced to his fellow in disbelief , eyes twitching.

"COULDN'T YOU GET ANOTHER MOMENT TO SAY THAT ONE?! YOU GOT LITERALLY MORE THAN THREE OTHER QUESTIONS TO ANSWER!!" The blond screeches , earning another smack from Nishina.

Koushi's widened gaze turned back from Kitaro to Yokuro.

Before throwing another question , he inhaled and calmed himself down.

"..And now you're here to help her? You think that much will make me believe?"

"..I didn't get to finish," Yokuro murmured."I don't actually want to help her if it's not because of my sister,"

Kitaro clenched his teeth.

"CHOOSE BETTER WORDS , DAMMIT!!"

At this point , they look like Zenitsu and Giyu--

"Enough." Koushi clicked his tongue with a dissapointed look , reaching his hand on [F/n]'s shoulder to take her away from the nonsense."You've wasted way too much of my time for that,"

Yokuro sighed , taking Koushi's attention again.He need to explain all of it quickly at this point.

"One of my sister's last words," he reminisced."Is to protect Sugawara [F/n]-senpai,"

Koushi took a while to turn back to the first year , chuckle slipping from his lips.

"Heh.Arisuna Mairi , that girl who bullied [F/n] in the past's last words, is to....wait," his obvious disbelief smile dropped right that moment , eyes squinted.

"..last words..?"

"She got a cancer when she was in middleschool , and died after a few years.Despite her mean and inhumanly acts towards [F/n]-senpai which she regretted a few years later , she died before she could give a sincere and direct apology for her," Yokuro explained , eyes staring back at [F/n]'s.

"..She truly regretted what she did , and she indirectly asked us to give you her apology when we entered this school , suprisingly the same school as you applied to," Kitaro added , calmer than before.

It's a shock for them.

She might be someone who bullied her , but first : she died in pretty young age , and second : she suprisingly realized her bad attitude , and third : even sends her apology through her brother.

What..did the cancer turn her brain upside down?

The tension in the air dropped that instant , as Koushi motioned for all of them to follow him to a certain unused sport equipment room, not far from there.

"..you owe me big explanation , Arisuna,"

Yokuro stares back at him with light calm gaze.

"..hai."

Clack!

Koushi took a folded chair and sat on it , eyes flickered back to the two first years.

"First.Why did she want to apology? There no way she straight up regretted it.She's an ungrateful woman," Koushi spat out.

Even Nishina at the background flinched.

"I was once like her," Yokuro started." I have the same dark colored orbs like her.Until i got in accident in the beginning of elementary school.She's in 4th grade at that time,"

"And Yokuro got a severe injury on his both eyes at that moment.That triggered the depigmentation on his iris and as he left the hosptal , his orbs turned byzantine," Kitaro added."It wasn't near anything scary of even dangerous , yet he got some bad behaviour from our friends and neighbors,"

"And that snapped Mairi-san's mind open about what she had done to [F/n]-senpai, because of how the other's act towards her beloved brother is just like how she bullied [F/n]-senpai ," Kitaro sighed.

"Yet as she told us about how she wanted to apologize to her , Sugawara family had moved away to another district," Yokuro continued.It's all starting to get together.

"We were actually going to send her apology to you , [F/n]-senpai , as soon as possible.But we are unable yet,"

[F/n] stepped forward.

"And why is that??"

Kitaro and Yokuro glanced at each other before sighing their stress all out.

"Because , we don't think we can convince you," Yokuro murmured."And just like i told you , you could have say everything about us to HER. The only reason why we gave you the letter not on the first day or the the beginning of school days is because you haven't noticed HER weird attitudes at that moment,"

"And what's more , SHE is one step ahead of us," Kitaro conveyed."Yokuro's cousin , who's always with Mairi-san in the past whenever she bullied [F/n]-senpai,"

Koushi scratched his head in frustation.

"There's another bitch...??"

"K-Koushi...language.."

"I'd like to call her that.[F/n]-senpai , do you recall noticing someone who always seemed to be rooting next to Mairi-Nee , but never disturbed or bullied you one bit..?" Yokuro turned to [F/n] , creating drops of sweat rolling down her cheek.

"Eh...? I..i don't...remember.."

"Please remember it.A certain girl who seemed to idolize Mairi-Onee but is completely rejected by her," Yokuro approached her , catching everybody offguard.

"I..it has been so long , i wont--

「"Ari , i can do it for yo-"

"Shut uuuup!! You can't even hurt a fly!!"

"But i can--!"

Slap.

The book she carried slide all over the bathroom floor, one of it reaching the bullied girl's trembling hand supporting herself on the bathroom floor.」

--remember.......!"

[F/n]'s eyes looked back up.

"A girl who was slapped by Mairi as she seemed to be idolizing Mairi...yeah..i remember..but i don't know much,"

Yokuro shook his head.

"No , you know her.She's the one who pretty much created all the rumours about you , [F/n]-senpai,"

Dizzy.

[F/n] spun her brain.She did not remember her name.Or any pinch about her.

"She did those to me?? Why??" She leaned to the wall , disbelief gaze stuck on her face.

"Senpai," Kitaro added."What do you think will happen if a psycopath who idolized her bully cousin misinterpreted her idol's last words and did what her idol do to her latest prey to the exact same prey when they are in highschool..??"

That put more bullets of sweat running down her face.

P-Psycopath?!

"What..?! That's just no way, i could not believe that.." [F/n] gulped as she proceeded the whole new raw information in her head.

"Then who do you think created those rumours about you..? Some random student who doesn't even know you..??" Yokuro clicked his tongue."Man..this will be harder than i think,"

Koushi glanced at his twin in worry as she regained her sanity.

"..i don't know her.Who is she?!"

Kitaro and Yokuro looked at each other again , right when a notification popped on their phones.

"She has been next to you daily....yet you don't notice," Yokuro facepalmed."[F/n]-senpai is dense,"

Kitaro furrowed his brows as he read whatever on his phone screen.

"Uh-oh , Yoku,"

Yokuro raised an eyebrow and opened his phone real quick , a visible stressed look worried the third years in the room.

"Oh no...she's one step ahead of us," he gritted his teeth."Again,"

"What?What?" Koushi demanded.

Yokuro turned his phone screen to face them.

"SHE started it on Twitter...spilling false informations,"

[F/N] froze on her place as she read the hateful comments , eyes finally landing on a certain one.

"...Who is SHE and Anonymous_KA..?"

"Duh,"

"Kurokasu Akino,"

Right when the name reached her ears letter by letter..

Her vision blackened.

AHAHAHAHAH
THE TRUH IS NOW REVEALED
AHAHAHHAHAHA

Alternative :

"Why should you knock her conciousness out? You could have slipped the letter in her locker,"

"...."

"I...did not think of that,"
