Saya lay in her nest. Her sleep stayed strong... Kai Sat on the floor and looked at the nest with a stern, older, more mature stare. His two new company and cute chaos bringers were behind him.
"Dad... When is she gonna stop sleeping?" One of them said. Her face was serious. But it was less mature. Like she had no clue what to think of her mother in a nest. Like it was abnormal... She didn't know -- just the same as her sister -- that she was the same in many ways as her mother. After a certain age. Their bodies are mature enough and then times stops completely for them.
"Yeah Dad. She's been sleeping for so long now. Its like she's never gonna wake up." Her sister followed in the conversation. She was equally curious and confused.
Kai took a long sigh. then paused. He didn't know what to tell them. They were still to young to know everything. Maybe they would remember what happened between Saya and Diva. Kai had no knowledge if their minds were that sharp or not. He decided to keep it secret from them just a bit longer.
"Dad...? Did you even hear us?" Their voices harmonized. One sounded like Saya, the other like Diva. That went along with the color of their eyes, their attitudes and the rest of them.
"Yeah yeah...I heard you. Lets go back home now. We've been here long enough. We should probably be getting back home anyway. The sun's about to set."Kai said in a low tone. He sat up and turned his back, With the girls at either side. He was ready to walk out the door. Kai watched the girls chance eachother out the door and into the car. Kai turned his back once more to take one last glance at His sister. He could have sworn though. He saw her hand twitch.

Kai and the girls were back at Kai's fathers old pub. It was renovated a little. But old memories still remained, including the pictures on the cork board. The girls would always ask who the dark short-haired pretty girl was in the pictures. They always asked why she looked so similar to them. Kai had to shrug and tell them they would find out when they were older. The girls always got confused when their father said that with such sorrow in his voice, and in his eyes.
Images of Saya moving. It made Kai wonder if she was due to wake up. It had been almost thirty years. As a matter of fact...It was getting close to summer again. Which was the exact point in the season where Saya fell dormant for another thirty years. Kai suddenly had a gut feeling that she would wake up soon. Very soon. He heard foot steps coming from the twins room.
"Hey dad...you don't look so good. Is something wrong? I mean you look really pale." She asked. Her and her twin sister has seen their father like this. He gets so lost in thought and his face, arms become really pale. And he produces a cold sweat. He looks like he's ready to pass out.
"Hey sis, can you get dad a towel please..." She asked slightly raising her voice only to get her sisters attention from their room.
"Yeah yeah, Akasuki. I'll be right there. " She said, quickly pacing into the bathroom to grab a towel. She brought it out and handed it to kai. He accepted it and wiped his forehead and shut his eyes. He sighed.
"I'm okay now girls. Thanks for the towel. I was just getting so wrapped up in thought...I'm sorry girls..." Kai apologized. He sounded so tired. Both Akasuki and Kohana could tell. They both looked at each other and shrugged. One way or another, Kai was going to tell them everything. They just had to wait.
