Nijuugou stared out into the opn field. Juunanagou and Juuhachigou talked quietly at the nearby stream, remembering Juurokugou, and how he loved such things as nature. He was long since dead, and Nijuugou was tired of hearing about him. Of course they had been friends, but they needed to put his memory to rest. She yawned and stretched out on the green grass, absorbing the peace of it all. Juunana walked to where she was laying and sat down beside her. "Ni-chan." he called softly. "Nani?" she answered, closing her eyes. "I want to go home now." Juunana answered her simply as he got up and shook the grass blades from his pants. Nijuu nodded. She understood why. She quickly got up and shook off, spraying grass everywhere. Juuhachi sighed inwardly. Kuririn would be nervous by the time she got home. Marron was a living tornado when it came to destroying things in the house. Nijuu smiled briefly, but it faded as quickly as it had come. She sensed a ki coming toward them. It was familiar--it was Trunks, another one of her close, but not intimate friends. He had a wife. And Nijuu had a twin sister, just like Juunana had Juuhachi. Masako was her name. It meant 'Beautiful Truth', and that's exactly what Nijuu thought she was-beautiful.
Nijuu and Juunana arrived at their house a few seconds after three o'clock. The phone rang. Nijuu picked it up. It was her twin, Masako. "Moshi moshi?" Nijuu answered. "Hello, Ni-chan. How are you?" Masako's sweet voice came from the receiver. "I have been better. You?" Masako seemed to stiffen. "Same. Would you like to get together somewhere and share a cup of chocolate milk or ice cream?" Masako's joy, ice cream. Nijuu laughed softly. "You and your ice cream." she snickered. "Yeah, sure. I'll meet you at your place." Masako automatically smiled. "okay, see you in a few, ai shiteru, Ni-chan."
"Masa-chan, are you sure that you're going to eat that?" Nijuu asked, pinting at the mountain of ice cream that was between them. Masako smiled. "Yup." She had such an ice cream fetish. Nijuu sat back and watched as her sister's face became more and more visible. The mountain had diminished to a spoonful. Nijuu almost laughed out loud. Masako smiled as she ate that last spoonful, and licked her lips joyfully. Nijuu jumped high as Juuhachi walked in and punched her in greeting. Masako laughed heartily, until Juuhachi punched her, too. Nijuu laughed at that. Juuhachi smirked and left the room. "Ya know what, Masa-chan? Ai shiteru." Nijuu said gently as she hugged her sister. Masako beamed. "Ni-chan, I love you, too."
