(Megumi's point of view)

-What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools-

-And all we have we lose-

-And I don't want you to go but I want you so-

-So tell me what-

-Tell me what-

-Tell me what we choose-

My hands pointed upwards, one outstretched while the other was closer to my chest. My breath heaved against my arm, hot and deep, exhaustion was at its peak from underneath my mask. My arms lowered as the sounds of the fans finally reached my ears, I plastered on a bright smile bowing towards all my fans.

The mask I wore only revealed my mouth and the shape of my bright blue eyes, my normally black hair was a dark silver. Pieces of fake snow scattered along with it, the mask going above my head sprouting a pair of ears.

I skated towards my couch and manager feeling the worlds eye for me, but they weren't cheering for me. They were cheering for the girl with the mask, The Snow Leopard. I wished one day to hear the cheers of my true name, but until that day comes I would hid behind the mask.

I gazed out the window watching the clouds fly by me while my memories of this past week took over my thoughts. Another tournament in American had come and gone leaving me with another gold medal.

Finally I had been rewarded with a trip to see my family after five years, I had watched Yuri closely seeing how far he had come. His new coach truly did a number on him, I had never seen my bro biscuit skate like that. I sighed the heat of my breath fogging up the plane's window slightly. I was happy for my brother, but I knew that going back would mean that I would have to encounter him.

At the beginning of my career I had no problems with Victor Nikiforov, in fact I admired him just as much as Yuri had. We both grew up watching him skate with wide eyes, we both would mimic his moves trying to be just like him.

Going into my first Women's Grand Prix was when the whispers started. The rest of the skaters didn't have to worry about being compared to him, but if you ever heard 'Katsuki Megumi' mentioned eventually Victor's name would come up. I was constantly compared to a literal living legend, constantly putting more pressure on my performances.

I wasn't sure how I would react to the man, I mean even with my slight dislike towards the man now I still admired him. It wasn't his fault that everyone constantly scrutinized my skating abilities in comparison to him.

I could hear my manager, Abbison, typing away at her computer dealing with the press. Keeping my identity secret was a full time job, not even my family was aware of who I was. If they ever asked about my skating career I would have to lie, and it hurt me every single time.

My thoughts drifted back to my older brother, I couldn't wait to skate with him again at the ice rink. I could feel the excitement bubbling through my veins. Slowly the plane began to make its descent into my hometown, my excitement only escalating.

Bless my poor manager, I left her behind with my luggage without a second thought. I knew my way like the back of my hand, although I knew I would get the scolding of a life time later. I made my way home, hoping to surprise the entire family, thankfully no one was currently outside.

I made my way inside yelling, "Surprise." To everyone however, only my parents and sister were home. Part of me was relieved not having to see Victor, but the other part was saddened at the absence of my brother.

"Meg-Chan! You're home!" Everyone came to greet me wrapping me into their arms, I was the baby of the family much to my own annoyance. I had left when I was sixteen after my debut at fifteen went horribly wrong. I couldn't face my family for the longest time, leaving without them ever knowing. Eventually I had to call them and let them know I went to America, I needed their permission to skate.

"Where's Yuri?" I asked and they all shared a knowing smile, I had always been closest with Yuri out of everyone. He had easily been my only real friend in our small town, skating and him came first, second, third, and every other number after that.

"He's skating at-" They didn't even have to finish the sentence, I began to make my way towards the rink with a small bounce in my step.

Making my way in Yuko began to open her mouth but I quickly put my finger to my lips. I pointed towards the rink and she nodded slightly with a smile on my face, while I never had been very close with the girl, Yuri was and any friend of his was at least a semi-friend of mine.

I went through the back door sneaking into the rink hoping that the skater and the coach didn't notice me. I sucked in a quiet breath as I saw Victor, he was watching Yuri with such a careful eye as he practiced a new routine.

Yuri went into a step-sequence before his final pose, the song came to an end and I decided to make an appearance. I began to slow clap walking from behind the bleachers I had hidden behind, the pair's heads snapped towards me.

"Nicely done Bro Biscuit." I smiled watching as his face lit up, he skated rapidly towards the exit rushing to see me. He almost tripped as Victor helped him put on his skate guards before he crushed me into a hug.

"Meg-Chan!" He yelled squishing me slightly, I hugged him back just as tightly closing my eyes for a moment.

"Yuriii!" Victor drew out his name in a whining tone as he watched us, we slowly separate Yuri laughing. I held out my hand towards him trying my hardest not to grimance as he took my hand in his.

"I'm Katsuki Megumi, Yuri's little sister." I pulled my hand slowly out of his as he watched me with intrigued eyes.

"Are you a skater to?" I almost choked from laughter, he completely skipped his own introduction just to ask me that of all things.

"Victor! Don't you think you should introduce yourself before asking her that?" Yuri scolded him slightly although I wasn't sure how much good it did. Victor just smiled with a small nod before turning back towards me.

"I'm Victor Nikiforov, Yuri's couch." I nodded my while mentally rolling my eyes, of course I knew who he was, but I wasn't going to give him the satisfaction.

"Huh your name sounds familiar, were you in an anime or something?" I smirked at the two men's bewildered faces, "Just kidding Victor I know who you are." I patted his shoulder slightly passing by him to go put on the skates Yuko had thrown at me.

"So you are a skater!" He exclaimed as Yuri followed him over to sit next to me on the bleachers, I stood up heading to the rink.

"Yeah I dabble." I looked over my shoulder at the pair, "Yuri play something with some pop."

He quickly fumbled trying to find a song to match my description, I rolled my eyes as I skated around leisurely. After a couple minutes of silence I yelled, "Play Fools."

Soon the Silence had ended while I waited in the center of the rink for the music to start, I took a deep breath before beginning to let the music take me far away from the two onlookers.

-Those Hardest to love need it most-

-I watched our bodies turn to ghosts-

-Such good friends, it has to end it always does-

-That's the way life is-

-Do we take that risk-

I started with my hands outstretched like I was about to hug someone, I spun around twice my hands slowly coming closer until it was like I was hugging myself. I traveled with the music jumping into a triple axel on the word does, before swaying my hips slightly.

-And so it all boils down to this-

-We've got our aim but we might miss-

-We are too fragile just to guess-

-And I've been in this place before-

-Fine as we are but we want more-

-That's human nature at it's best-

I went into a combination bringing my arms up like I would in a competition for more points, Triple Toe loop, into a single, then a double flip. I carried my arms like you would draw back an arrow following the imaginary one flying through the air, before side stepping and heading the opposite way faster like I was running away.

-What if we ruin it all, and we love like fools-

-And all we have we lose-

-And I don't want you to go but I want you so-

-So tell me what we choose-

I run going into my step sequence, my arms outstretched as I twirled before I went lower with one arm above me. I spun back to my full height still with one arm outstretched before going backwards skating zigzagged into my first quad.

The next moment I felt myself flying through the air as I did a quadruple Salchow feeling my blade come down on the ice as the word 'choose' came.

The rest of the performance I did flawlessly doing another combination only with a quad this time, a quad lutz into a double Salchow and then a triple toe loop. My mind flashed back to my previous performance of this song, for the slightest moment I felt all the pressure again. It was crippling.

I froze slightly no longer hearing the music, I wasn't sure how long I was staring in front blankly. Until the two males were in front of me with worried faces, eventually I saw their lips moving and the world had sound once more.

"Sis are you ok?" I quickly nodded my head noticing the look of panic and worry on Yuri's face, my own softening. I put my hand on his shoulder reassuringly, with a smile on my lips even though my mind was swimming.

"I'm sorry Yuri, just a lot on my mind that's all." He shook his head slightly knowing that hadn't been the only reason, but also knew not to press me for answers.

"Your performance was fabulous, looked exactly like The Snow Leopard's." My world froze slightly realizing my mistake far too late. I hadn't expected that either of them had seen my skating, just because you're compared to a legend doesn't mean they acknowledge you.

"Oh! That's the skater who wears a mask right? Have you met her sis?" Thankfully I didn't have to worry for very much longer as a new voice entered the group.

"Megumi Junji Katsuki how dare you leave me at the airport you Baka!" Abbison's voice of rage made me shake slightly, I hadn't expected her to find me so fast. Her blonde hair flew behind her as she made her way to the glass.

"Friend of yours?" I shot Victor a dirty glance before her voice came again at a louder volume, "You better get over here right now before I kill you with my bare hands!"

"Gomen Gomen Abbison, I-" I tried to apologize as I skated over to the glass in no particular rush, her staring me down the entire way.

"You will do ten quad top loops, five triple Salchows, and three triple axels before we leave this rink understand? Don't you even leave that ice!" I could faintly hear the pair behind me laughing at my own misery.

"Right." I muttered every time she listed off another exercise keeping my head down not wanting to bring forth more wrath.

"You are the most idiotic skater I've ever had to manage! Can't you be a little more patient!" She continued to rant as I silently took her words, sighing underneath my breath.

"NOW GO PRACTICE."
