A Mystery...
Chapter 1: Moving in
'Here I am in a new city again. With my two older brothers, Reno and Shin. Dad and mom are always sending me away with my brothers. I'm lucky if I get to go outside most times! But I convinced my mother to let me stay long enough for 1 school year. She and dad fought about it but he came around to finally let me get the high school experience. I'm not allowed to get to involved with anyone, but let's see them try keep me from making friends!'
"Gah!...I broke my pencil.", The girl with short spiky violet hair glared at her now broken pencil. She had been writing in her journal in the car ride.
"Honestly.", A guy with black hair and glasses on beside her said and handed her a blue pen.
"Thanks.", She decided to finish up for now and signed her name. 'Twyla Sukiyoko', She wrote in her delicate script.
"Twyla we're here.", The guy said to her again. She closed her journal and another guy with violet hair like hers opened her car door.
She stepped out and saw a grand house. It was a fancy Japanese style home. A garden with her favourite wildflowers in bloom. A stone walk way and a welcome mat that read 'Welcome'. "Dad spoils us to much.", Twyla said.
"You mean he spoils you. Daddy's little girl! Shin and me never get stuff like this! I mean it's a tad over the top don't you think?", Her brother said to her as he pointed out every detail of the house.
"Reno could you get the door? I'm gonna help Shin.", He nodded and scanned the area of the place before entering the house.
"At least you guys are dressed normally. I'm tired of seeing black suits on everyone.", She laughed at them, with her brother grinning. They carried several suit cases inside the house. "I'm going to look around. Coming?", She asked them.
"I'll come. Reno, call dad and tell him we're here!", He shouted to his younger brother outside. She went first into each room. She entered the kitchen, and there was a fully stocked fridge and all the works for making a good meal.
"Dad really thought of everything? He must've had mom help him.", She said while opening cabinets. She opened the top one and a pepper shaker fell on her face.
"Ouch!", She yelled holding her nose.
"What's wrong?!", Shin grabbed her shoulders and searched for any harm done to her.
"Achooooo!", she sneezed on him.
"Groosss!", He pushed her away from him and wiped his face with his sleeve.
"Pepper. My bad.", She picked up the pepper shaker and placed it in a safer area.
"Let's see the bedrooms!", She dragged her brother up with her. She opened the first door on her right. It had a queen sized bed with pillows but no sheets. Twyla discovered all the rooms were the same. "He's letting us do our own rooms?!", She screamed full of joy.
"I guess so.", He shrugged. He walked back downstairs to talk with Reno. "I call the first bedroom!", She heard him yell from downstairs.
"Have it!", She yelled back. Twyla was more into the last room in the hallway. It wasn't big but it had a nice view. She took the smallest bedroom in the house. The other two were bigger but she wanted Reno and Shin to have them.
"This is perfect! No dad, bodyguards, spies, or anything. Just me and my brothers.", Though her brothers were there to protect her, she at least knew them a lot better than another man in a black suit. All Twyla's life she's been watched by bodyguards. Her father is a very important man back in the big city. She was moved again to another city. She lived on the outside of it though. There were trees outside and from what she saw outside, trails.
After picking her room, Twyla left downstairs. "What the?", When she got downstairs she spotted two maids. "Dad promised no maids! Shin! Reno!", She screamed at full volume. The guys ran into the room obviously startled.
"What?!", Shin said holding a gun in his hand. Reno with a sword.
"Eek!", The maids screeched.
"Why are there maids here? Dad said we can do this on our own.", She was steaming. Her brothers relaxed and put away there weapons.
"Oh that. Dad said you can do it on your own. Doesn't mean they can't work for us.", Reno smirked at his little sister. Twyla stomped off to pick up her bags and went back up stairs to her room.
"Here's, some sheets.", Shin tossed her a purple bed 'n' a bag. She carried it all up to her room and unpacked.
"Stupid brothers. Stupid lazy-ass brothers.", She kept murmuring to herself. She heard them come upstairs too. "Have your dumb rooms.", She whispered again to herself. Still steaming from her dad's broken promise.
"Done.", she wiped her forehead. Twyla's room was done to her liking. The bed made, dresser full of her clothes, full length mirror in the corner, all her books neatly organized in a shelf, stereo with her CD collection next to her mirror, a closet full of her shoes, and jackets. She put her plush animals collection on top of her book case. Admiring her well done job, she laid on her queen sized bed.
"Knock, knock?", Her brother Reno called opening her door. He peeked his head in only to be hit with a pillow. "Ow. I love you too sis, but me a Shin have to go to a meeting. We finished the unpacking so you got the place to yourself. Don't leave okay?", He waved bye and shut her door.
"Yeah, yeah.", She jumped up and hugged him. "Send love to Shin will ya?", He patted Twyla's head and left the house. She walked downstairs trying to find something to do. She decided on the garden.
"Its lovely out isn't it?", a maid said from behind her.
"Yup. I'll be in the garden,", Twyla spoke with no interest. She didn't want to be rude but being waited on has lost its touch.
When she was younger it came in handy to have people help her. But she is 15 now. Her first year in high school was coming up. Twyla was always moving around, so far her record is 10 schools in a year. Her average schools in the year is 5. She was the only one left to finish school.
Shin is 24 and Reno is 20. Twyla is the baby of the family, but she hates being called that. 15 is not a baby, she detests to her father when he'd say she need's bodyguards to protect her. Being in her family was difficult.
Her father spoils her with material things and her mom says its better to be like the princess she is. Her brothers are in the family business too. They all get together at the end of the day for dinner but that's the only time they're whole. Now its different. Twyla lives practically on her own. Shin and Reno are working in the next city, with Twyla at home. It would be like this a lot of the time.
Twyla rested on the grass thinking about the year to come. She can see it happening so clearly. Brothers at 'work', her at home doing school work, house staying clean with the maids doing everything. That life sickened her. It had no 'flavour' as she referred to it.
She wanted excitement! Suddenly she had the urge to explore. Too leave everything behind, if only for a moment. She kneeled down to peek inside the window. She saw the maids laughing and talking while setting the table. Twyla sneaked to the back of the house. When she saw the coast was clear she bolted.
Not like anyone would catch her. When she was determined, she can run at great speed. She's gotten better and better at running from always doing it as a kid up to present. She used to run when she was upset. Usually because she missed her parents, when they left her to go on a trip.
Twyla ran into the forest, following a trail. After 2 minutes of running she slowed down. She panted as she sat under a tree. Once she was positive nobody was coming after her she continued her walk.
She passed by flowers and shrubs. The tree were tall and let sunlight sparkle through. It was peaceful and calm. It was a relaxing place. Walking and admiring the scenery are two different things. She got lost in looking at the sky peeking through the trees that she missed the edge of a cliff in front of her.
She slipped and everything happened very fast. She didn't have time to scream when she tumbled on the grassy hill. She rolled and hit some rocks sticking out of the ground. They hit her sides and knocked the wind out of her. She yelped when she smashed on a wall. It cracked when she made contact with it. She lifted her head to see the hazy green hill. Twyla's eyes became to heavy to keep open. They fell closed which brought complete darkness for her.
"Miss? Are you waking?", a hand touched her head. Twyla flinched from pain and he quickly retreated his hand from her head.
"Is she up?! Is she up?!" A hyper voice called.
"Ughhh..." She groaned in pain. She rubbed her silvery eyes and opened them to a different room. She tried to think what happened last. "Where are my brothers?", She murmured looking around the room for them. Last thing she remembered was seeing a hill. Her body ached from the rocks and her hitting the stone wall with full force.
"Do you know who you are?", Asked a man in a doctors coat.
"Of course I do.", Twyla said crossing her legs. 'What a dumb question...' Twyla thought while looking around the room again. "Huh?", Her head tilted upwards and she saw a blonde hair boy with brown eyes smiling at her.
"How are ya?!", He shouted. "I'm Momiji, what's your name? I like your eyes! There so pretty!", He held his hands and she saw his eyes sparkle with amazement.
"My head hurts." Her hands rubbed her temples and the doctor interrupted her thoughts.
"He gives everyone a head ache. Now what's your name?", The doctor urged on for her to answer.
"Twyla...", Her silver eyes shifted back to the room. It was like a doctors office, but she was sure she wasn't in a hospital.
"Last name?", He continued.
"...Sukiyoko, my name is Twyla Sukiyoko." She answered.
"Okay, I'm Hatori Sohma. Your at the Sohma estate. Can you tell me your number? I'll contact your parents.", He held a clipboard in his hands, with a pen ready to go.
"We don't have a phone yet. Umm...I'll just walk home. Its not that far away.", Twyla attempted to stand, but failed. Falling down on her but, and hissing at the pain.
"You shouldn't be moving you have bruises all over.", Hatori said while still scribbling on his clipboard.
"Yeah...Urgh! I was so careless.", Twyla fumed, being embarrassed. She's never been so clumsy in her life!
"Where do you live then?", Momiji asked her in a regular volume.
"Lemme think...86 Sakuya Road.", Twyla was sure it was the address. Her brothers did all the driving so she didn't know which way it was.
"I was walking in the forest when I wasn't watching I slipped and fell down a hill.", The guys listened to her story on how she fell and hit the wall, Hatori nodded and explained to her.
"You won't need any casts on but your going to feel the pain for a couple of days. I recommend you take pain killers.", He finished writing and handed her the paper he's been writing on. "Here's a doctors note. If you feel any worse you should go to a hospital in the city.", She read the mans script. It was very detailed and a different writing read,
'I heard a loud smash from the other side of the Sohma wall. I went to check it and there was the girl, with violet hair knocked out! She left a nasty crack in the wall. I called Hatori, and we got her inside. Then Hatori treated her wounds.' Must've been Momiji, Twyla said to herself.
"Thank you both. But I'll manage by myself.", She raised herself up trying not to fall back down from the pain. Her face she tried to keep cool. But it didn't work.
"Why are you trying to walk? I said I'd drive you home.", Hatori said with a confused face.
"No you didn't…" She said.
"I don't want to cause trouble...my brothers will be mad. I wasn't supposed to leave the house.", Tears fell from her eyes. The pain was killing her yes, but it hurt more knowing they'd report it to their father. He would call more bodyguards to watch her again.
That was the promise, "Your so stubborn. Don't get hurt, and I won't send anyone.", Her fathers words ran in her head.
"Come on, we'll drive you! I promise no body won't even know you've left!", Momiji cheered. A giggle came from her and she nodded. A woman helped her to the car. When she was seated and buckled in the back they drove off.
She gazed upon the place. It was huge! It seemed like a mini city. But it was just full of houses. She saw little kids playing tag. And a few guys sitting at a picnic table. They were the most gorgeous boys she's ever seen!
Momiji smiled and waved to them. They didn't wave back but just watched them pass. She still watched them when the passed. She noticed that everyone she saw was beautiful.
They finally got to the gates and drove off. They headed left down a road. The houses started getting farther and farther apart.
"Here we are. 86 Sakuya Road, correct?", Hatori asked her. But she had the door opened already and jumped out. "Thanks again, Dr. Sohma! You too Momiji!", She ran toward the house seeing the car in the drive way.
"How long have I been gone?", She said to herself. Her wounds were killing her running, but she had to talk with them quick before they called their dad. The car was already gone when she opened the door. She didn't bother to remove her shoes, but burst through the house.
"Shin! Reno, where are ya?!", Shouting and panting she found them in the living room. They were on the phone, looking up at her.
"What?", Reno asked her.
Shin covered the phone and said, "Do you mind not shouting?", They gave her annoyed faces.
"Who are you talking with?", Twyla waved her arms in a frantic way as she wanted the phone.
"Maid service. Those maids burned the food so we fired them. I'm trying to see if we can get different ones. Why?", Reno nudged Shin's side.
A finger pointed to her clothes. The brothers gasped at her. She was dirty and scratched up. Shin hung up his cell phone. The two got up to check her.
"What happened?! How?! Who did this?! I'll kill 'em!", Her brother Shin was in a rage. Reno brought her some water and a blanket.
"Easy fella's. Nobody did this to me. Thanks Reno...", He handed her the water and she took a big gulp. "Ahh. Okay I left the house, on a walk and I wasn't paying attention and fell down a hill. The Sohma's helped me. Plus the gave me a ride home. No worries.", Shin and Reno relaxed themselves a bit.
"Sohma's? Well I suppose we owe them don't we? Dad is gonna kill us though.", Reno said holding his head.
"Don't tell him then. I'll be okay to go to school next week.", She handed Shin the slip Hatori gave her. He confirmed he's a real doctor at the hospital. That night Shin cooked them supper.
He made them Twyla's favourite, Stir-Fry. It was a quiet dinner and Twyla went to bed early to rest up.
