Light crept in slowly, spreading like careful fingers across the bed and into the waking eyes of Kaoru. Through the mess of copper toned locks that hid her face from view she could just start to make out the figure beside her in bed. Deep in the security of a dream the face was that of her twin sister Hikaru, features soft and relaxed. It had been this way for three weeks that Kaoru had woken herself early for a morning run and had found herself taking far too long to gaze at a face so similar yet so different from her own. Raking lithe fingers through her mane Kaoru propped up on one arm and peered down better at the sleeping being. Smoothing away a rogue lock of hair from Hikaru’s face she let out a sigh. “You’re terrible,” she said unafraid of waking her twin who slept heavily. Rising from the bed and stretching Kaoru soothed her rumbled tank top and began to ready herself for the arduous task of her morning exercise routine. Over the simple black boyshorts she wore to bed as well Kaoru pulled on a set of bright blue running shorts and tugged on a plain white t-shirt. She was half way across the large bedroom they shared and fighting to gather her hair in a ponytail when she thought she heard something from the bed. Stopping and turning back she eyed the still sleeping figure there for a few silent seconds before decoding it was nothing. Uandwrapped on the knob of their door she paused and looked back again before softly saying, “You’re terrible because I love you.” Writing it off again this morning Kaoru left the Hitachiin home and began her run.
