"Frozen Fortune:
Chapter One;
Pride's Prediction"
The two ran. One was leading the other being dragged towards their destination. The elder one was excited, and had insisted far too much to allow her to say no, while the other wish she had left her alone in dance class.
Their names were Ayame, and Miyako Yukihana. These two sisters, only one year apart, that look so similar, but yet were so different. They were both wearing the uniforms of their high school; navy blue mini skirts, a white t-shirt with a black trim and ascot, while Ayame wore pink shoes, Miyako wore black.
The two themselves looked that much alike! Their skin tones were light and creamy, with a slight tan to them that made them stand out. Their eyes both took on a very deep scarlet, but their hair color and style is what helped differentiate the two, next to size.
Ayame's light lavender hair was nice, and short, up in a small ponytail with two crimson pins sticking out, while her steadied themselves on her forehead. She was the elder sister, dragging the other by the hand, smiling, and trying to convince her sister to do so, otherwise.
Miyako was of course, the younger one with the scowl on her face, trying to convince her to let her to let her go back to her dance class, but the elder simply pressed on. Miyako had grown her bangs out so they'd stop getting into her face, but her hair was more of a dark violet, and definitely more towards the darker end of the color wheel. It was down, and flowing in the wind, and would looked more graceful if her sister wasn't dragging her around.
On the standard of height, Miyako was a good two inches, at the most, smaller than Ayame. They had completely different opinions on how to spend their time though, such as right now, for example. "Ayame, I've told you Monday, I've told you yesterday, and I'm telling you today: I don't want to see a fortune teller!" She barked at her sister, slightly annoyed. She'd try her best to contain herself, but Ayame was a hassle.
Example #2. "Oh, come on! I set up the date, and everything!" She insisted, dragging her by the heels to the shop. Her sister was an airhead who liked making decisions for her, and pushing her responsibilities on her because she called that a good relationship.
Miyako looked up at Ayame as if she may murder her. "Couldn't it have waited until after dance club? I kinda go to let out stress, and you're not helping!" She retorted, feeling like a cornered mouse.
Her sister giggled. "But you go there everyday, and it's closed on weekends! Why can't you let us have fun together?" She questioned herself, pressing on.
"Because that's the reason I have stress; I let you." She sister was oblivious to it, but she had always felt like she was the older one; only difference was that her parents gave her more power to make her feel mature. In all honesty, she was a spoiled brat while she was the only one who learned anything.
Miyako could see that being within ten feet, she may as well stop, and try to make this quick. She got Ayame to let her go, only as long as it went quick so she could get back for the second half. Her sister nodded, and brought her inside.
Luckily, they didn't have to wait long, so they were immediately brought into a room with light blue carpeting, and night blue wallpaper with gold stars on them. Purple curtains had draped the rims of the two doorways, on opposing walls. In the center of the room was a wrinkly old woman who had shrouded herself in red and black robes, wearing several rings and necklaces. On the center of the table was a crystal ball, and next to it, a deck of cards.
The two walked up closer, the elder more enthusiastic with the other. They both took a seat, Ayame with arms at her sides, smiling. Miyako with her arms crossed, tapping on of her fingers impatiently. The woman's head rose, a smirk could be seen curving across her lips. "Welcome, dear children! I am Madame Shinako! I see all, hear all, and will tell all, for the price you have paid. Now, what do you question the cosmos today?" She asked.
Miyako grunted. "May as well let her answer, since she dragged me here!" She answered.
Ayame's grin only widened. "We wanna know who our soul mates are!" She replied, ignoring her sister's imply.
Shinako looked up at her. "Is that so?" She asked. Ayame nodded, eagerly. "Very well, then! Let us begin with a couple questions, then I can predict your future!" She proclaimed. Miyako rolled her eyes. "What is your name?" She asked.
She giggled. "Ayame Yukihana." She replied.
Shinako placed her hands on the crystal ball. "And when were you born?" She asked.
Ayame's face went to one of innocence as she thought aloud. "Um,...January 23rd." She answered, absentmindedly.
Shinako's smile remained. "Very well, young Aquarius, let us begin!" She said. Her began to swerve around the ball. Miyako stared in disbelief as to see smoke form in the ball, but her sister was too oblivious to pay attention, because she was staring at the woman with excitement. Shinako stared into the ball, then lifted her head slightly. "I see him! Hair of deep crimson, and eyes of earthy brown. Marks of spiritual presence around his body; the marks of many battles passed." She began.
Ayame smiled. "Can you read to me how to approach him?" She asked.
Shinako nodded as she removed her hands from the ball, holding out her hand. "Give me your palm!" She told her. Ayame did as told, with Miyako just watching the smoke fade, before turning to see the woman look over the lines on her sister's hands. "He is truly fair, but the relationship will start wrong if you act too eager. So act with caution, and grow close, slowly, as friends." She instructed.
Ayame nodded. Shinako looked up at her. "Do you wish to learn of what your last name will be?" Ayame nodded, anxiously. Shinako gave her hand back, and grabbed the deck of cards. There was one with a baboon, one with a fire, and one with a virgin, along with a sword. There was also a snake, a star, and the sun on some others. Through the placement, Shinako had read the cards, then looked back at Ayame. "Your last name will be Abarai." She proclaimed.
Ayame cheered of happiness. Miyako could tell that she was anxious to meet whoever Arabai-san was, and she'd feel sorry for him, seeing as how he may be completely scared of her when they first meet. She sighed inward, feeling bad for whoever the man was, or for her sister, because it was more like Abarai-san didn't exist.
"Now you!" Miyako looked at Shinako, lost. "Do you come for the same reason as her, or do you have a different question to ask?" She questioned.
Miyako thought it over. What could she ask that really had any meaning? She didn't truly know what to say to the woman and was at a loss. She was intrigued, though, so she wasn't in as much of a hurry. She was wanting to think of something different, simply because she wasn't desperate to find out who her soul mate was; mostly due to the fact she wanted to wait to figure that out.
Ayame tugged on her arm, bringing her attention towards her. "Oh, come on, Miya! You haven't bothered to interact with anybody, so why not figure out who you're supposed to be looking for?" She questioned.
For the first time in her life, Miyako was considering her sister's suggestion. She wasn't one of those girls that was out there, but was one looking for something real, but hadn't seen it in anybody, so why shouldn't she question who the person was, when in truth, she was alone. She looked back at Shinako with a serious expression. "Same as Aya!" She answered.
Shinako smirked. "Very well! Same questions as before!" She said to her.
The younger one took in a deep breath. "My name is Miyako Yukihana! My birthday is August 31st!" She answered.
Shinako nodded. "Alright, then!" She said, swerving her hands around the crystal ball, causing it to gather smoke once more. She looked into it, and began to speak once more. "I see him. Yes! One who has faced worse than Abarai, I can tell! Small for his age, but still strong in heart. Hair of spiked white, and eyes of genuine turqouise." She began.
"Our encounter?" Miyako questioned.
Shinako's smirk widened as she placed out a hand, while Miyako willingly placed hers in it. Shinako had read the lines of her palm, all the while, sending uneasy waves up her arm, and having them register in her head. Shinako had stopped, seeming somewhat puzzled before folding Miyako's hand, and returning it to her. "You, young virgo will meet him in a strange way. You will see him once when something cruel is striking you, but will disappear soon after. After meeting one of Quincey blood, only then will you truly meet him, after a grueling battle. Be kind and considerate to him so bondage is possible, then everything should pick up from there!" She explained.
"And my last name?" She questioned.
Shinako smirked. "Oh, yes! What the last name will be!" She reshuffled her deck of cards, before beginning to place them. A blue dragon, a snow flake, an ice berg, a snowflake, and a pair of wings were the cards that stood out the most, but she was brought to others, such as the storm and the garnet. She read across them all, then looked back at Miyako. "Your last name will be Hitsugaya." She proclaimed.
With that set in their minds, the sisters stood up, bowed a goodbye, then left without another word.
When they were outside the shop, Miyako was immediately ambushed by Ayame. "So, I wonder what your Hitsugaya-kun is like." She stated, looking at her.
Miyako gave her a blunt look. "If her predictions are true, judging by her actions, Hitsugaya-san sounds like someone very high in expectations, there's one!" She started. "Besides, I'm more interested in how this Arabai-san will act; he seems like an over exaggerating type, so when he meets you, if you're not careful, you may scare him off." She warned.
Ayame giggled. "That's what I thought, so I already made a plan on how we should get to know each other before pushing a relationship." She stated. Miyako, eyebrow arched, just turned forward wondering what catastrophe she cooked up. "I want you to tell me when you meet Hitsugaya-kun! I want to be able to hug him and say good luck!" She said.
Her sister sweat dropped. "I'm gonna be saying the same thing to Abarai-san, I know that much!" She muttered, walking back home with Ayame.
1st time with this kind of story, so wish me luck!
