Chapter Text
Ririka walked with wide strides, her steps quiet on the wooden floor. Passing a servant who stepped aside at once,bowing her head slightly in respect. she didn’t seem to care as she took a turn toward a big black door.
All of the momobami manor was silent,dead silent. Like no one lived inside ,but this corridor that led to Kirari room was ominous on another level , Ririka knew the servant didn't even dare to get close to it if not for their command.
Knocking once softly, she opened the door without waiting for an answer. Surprise formed on her face at the sight. Her sister had her makeup on,blue lips and perfectly manicured hands, sitting on a luxurious chair.she looked like every stroke of the old royals paintings.
Blue eyes met equally blue.
“Aren't you eager dear sister? ” an uplift of her lips curled into a playful smile.
“It’s 6:30, you are the same ”
Ririka turned her head as she answered, she didn’t want her to see the red of her ears, although kirari didn’t need to see to know that it would be there. Standing up , giving a final look to herself at the huge mirror that hung on the wall, not a hair out of place.
She passed Ririka’s shoulder, whispering at her ear;
“ Sports day is a fest to our eyes after all “
She giggled as she exited the room , Ririka couldn’t help but stare at her back, she hurried after her, the mask already found its way on her face, the day has finally come.

The momobami twins stood side by side at the school entrance , Kirari checked her custom made watch. It worked perfectly , the question was written by bold letters on Kirari face, Ririka didn’t need to hear it to know
Where is she ?
The student council secretary was punctual like the sun, came out every morning at the same time , she was never late, Kirari walked through the gate in quick steps, a singular aim in her mind, Ririka had to step up to keep up with her rapid steps.
Kirari opened the student council roo-
Crash
The sound of a glass hitting the floor made the two of them stop in their place.
In the middle of the Student council room stood the secretary.holding what looked like a white ball of fur up, beside her feet was a broken tea cup, some of the steam could be seen evaporating. Kirari did always found her tea and her secretary waiting for her everyday.
“Are you okay ?”.
Kirari was beside the dark haired girl in an instant , her calm voice had a glimpse of worry that can be missed by the untrained ears, the dark haired girl looked at Kirari in horror.
“ p-president ! be careful of the broken glass plea_”
meaaaw
The kitten in Sayaka's hands hissed at Kirari in feral fear, the young girl's hands barely managed to keep it in place , in instinct reaction; Sayaka held it to her chest in a tight embrace.
Ririka saw her sister's eyes flash, her irises darkened, the kitten fur stood up like a broom hair , it ears fell back, looking like it was seeing a lioness that would devour it in a one bite. Sayaka pat the small ball fur gently in an attempt to calm it down, her eyes didn’t meet Kirari’s as she fixed her grip on the white ball.
“I’m so sorry president !, I don’t know how it snuck to the room, when I tried to catch it ,the tea cup fall on the groun-...”
As she just remembered where they were standing, she almost handed the kitten to Kirari before stopping mid air; as Ririka reached her hand shifting Sayaka's attention to her.
“ I can hold it “
The modifier made her words ring in the quiet room, but without thinking twice, Sayaka handed her the kitten, it’s blue eyes looking at the dark circle of her mask wondering. cute was the only word to describe it, but Ririka doubted her younger twin saw it the same way she did.
***
After cleaning the broken glass , the young secretary brought a fresh cup to the president's desk, intentionally touching her hand, Kirari accepted the cup with a smile. Satisfied with seeing the red appear on young girl checks.
That smile disappeared however when Sayaka turned to walk toward Ririka, the kitten rose from Ririka’s lab on the couch, and jumped straight towards the secretary's hands, in an admirable show of reflex she caught it easily.
“ That thing looks like it's getting attached, what are you gonna do sa-ya-ka ? “
The way her sister spoke those words made a shiver run down Ririka's spine. The secretary however didn’t seem to notice, answering professionally while the kitten purred at her nick,
“ I sent an email to the animals caring committee, they are gonna come and take it soon”.
Kirari hands gripped the handle of her cup ,Ririka saw cracks appear on its surface when the kitten licked Sayaka's nick, watching Sayaka giggle happily at the ticklish sensation_
crack
“President ! “
The handle of the tea cup sat in her twin hand, sayaka dropped the cat immediately at Ririka’s lab and ran to the president desk, frantically she opened a drawer and without thinking, grabbed the porcelain hand holding the handle in swift movements, gone all of her shy demeanor.
Ririka rolled her eyes at the amused smile on her sister's face, as her secretary wrapped a bandage around it carefully, like she was fixing an antique vase.
Really Kirari ? the cat ?
