My Enigmatic Life

(Shizuku’s POV)

    I sit in front of my bedroom mirror, brushing my hair. I groom myself every night before I go to sleep, but this night, I’m taking far longer than usual. And, that’s because everytime I touch the crown of my head, I start to think about it.

Daisuke-san…He patted my head..Just like how Chichi-ue and Jii-chan did. But he felt different, for some reason it had an incredible effect on me.

“Uuu..That was so close. If he had continued my other half would’ve come out.”

Although, my other ‘half’ is more like two quarters. Both Take and I are very rare people due to our unusual heritage, I doubt that there are other people out there like us. Due to that, Chichi-ue told us to never reveal our true selves to outsiders, or else we could end up ostracised or worse.

But I feel like Daisuke-san is different, I’m sure of it. If he wasn’t, I wouldn’t have felt what I did earlier. I’m still scared of showing it to him, though. That side of me is guaranteed to be overwhelming, to put it lightly. 

“What am I talking about?!”, I say, flustered. “I’m only allowed to show it to the man that I’m marrying. And Daisuke-san already has….He already has…”

My voice trails off as my mind goes to her. Daisuke-san’s self-proclaimed fiancee, Renford Arianne…I say self-proclaimed, but when I think back to how he acted with her, it very well might be true. 

How sickening.

I wonder if I can find a way of getting rid of her. I don’t want to kill her, but wouldn’t mind hurting her if I can have him. And I will have him. He’s MY master.

“Shizuku?”

“E-eh? Yes, Haha-ue?”

Haha-ue pokes her head in my room, smiling at me knowingly. 

“Please keep your enmity under control, you’re scaring your poor little brother.”

My face grows incredibly hot. Was I really giving off that much pressure? How embarrassing!

“Sorry..”, I mutter meekly.

“It’s fine, sweetheart! And besides-”

Haha-ue’s tender smile contorts into a wide, ominous grin.

“I know exactly how you feel. Ihihihihihihihi….”

I grow even more sheepish knowing that she figured me out so easily. This really is embarrassing!

“Oh, and don’t worry about brushing your hair tonight. That one you have won’t be of use anymore.”

With that, Haha-ue leaves. But did she mean by-EH?!

The brush! It’s broken?! Did I do that earlier without realising it?! I have to gain control of myself, I’m just acting silly! I’m happy for Daisuke-san! Very happy!

There’s no way Daisuke-san and I will end up being more than just friends! I’m just acting silly! Silly, silly, silly! 

Maybe some sleep will stop me from being so silly!
