Chapter one-Hidden Past revealed
"Who's there? I feel someone calling me, so who is it?" asked a young woman's voice.
"Let me out."
"Who are you? What do you mean?"
"I want out now! It's been so long being trapped like this so LET ME OUT NOW!"
*Beep*
*Beep*
*Be*
A hand had stopped the alarm clock ringing. It belonged to a purple haired girl around seventeen years old. She had woken up from a weird dream.
'What was that about? Someone wanting me to let them out, but from where? It doesn't make any sense. I don't know, anyway it's time to get ready for school.' thought the girl.
Getting up from her futon and stretching out some kinks. She was dressed in pink pajamas. The room she was in had typical look, only there seemed to stuffed animals around.
Tsukasa started getting dressed for school. She then covered her mouth from yawning.
"I'm still sleepy. I wonder what Onee-chan, Yuki-Chan or Kona-Chan would say about that dream. I guess it would best not to tell them. It was most likely from a scary movie," said Tsukasa finished dressing into the summer uniform.
She then looked around for a ribbon. Only to find it was already in her hand.
"That's odd; I thought it was on my desk. Oh well I probably picked it up," said Tsukasa while fixing it on.
All dressed and ready for school, she left the room. Now walking downstairs to see a long purple haired woman placing some food on to a table. She had on a simple dress and shirt.
"Morning mom," Tsukasa called out the woman.
"Oh good morning Tsukasa here's breakfast," greeted Tsukasa's mother.
Tsukasa sit down at the table to start eating breakfast.
"Morning everyone," said a voice going into the room.
It was a girl the same age as Tsukasa. She almost looked like her, only a little taller, and her hair in twin pony tails. She had the same school uniform.
"Morning Onee-chan."
"Good morning Kagami."
Kagami sat down at the table and started eating. Tsukasa was eating, but her mind was elsewhere.
There was just something about that voice, the familiarity behind it, and the sad tone that caused her mind to drown out everything. That was going on around her as she delved deeper in contemplation.
She couldn't help but be drawn into her own little world, but suddenly snapped out of it as a waving hand in front of her face startled her.
"Don't go spacing out now, it's almost time to go," Kagami commented in a tried tone before sighing. "I swear you and Konata are exactly the same, spacing out at the oddest of times"
"Sorry Onee-chan," replied Tsukasa finished eating.
Miki looked at Tsukasa worried.
"Tsukasa are you okay? You don't have a cold or anything?" asked Miki, this was unusual for Tsukasa.
Tsukasa shook her head. "I'm fine mom, I just woke up roughly."
"You did try to study last night rather hard," replied Kagami flatly.
Tsukasa sweat dropped at barb. She grabbed her dishes that she used; she took them to the sink. Grabbing her lunch, Tsukasa started walking to the door. Kagami followed her sister with lunch in hand.
'I wonder if it possible that Tsukasa is remembering. I don't know, maybe she just had a rough night. So it's nothing to worry about,' thought the mother of the Hiiragi twins, worried about Tsukasa.
Miki went about her business as usual.
(Tsukasa and Kagami)
They had arrived at the train station. Meeting them there was a long blue haired girl in the same uniform.
"Good morning Kona-chan," Tsukasa called out to the girl.
"Morning Tsukasa, Kagami," replied Konata to the twins.
"Morning Konata you seem to be doing fine. Here I thought you would be low on energy like usual," said Kagami.
"It was a slow night last night Kagami. Nothing on or happening on the web," said Konata with a disappointed tone.
Kagami sweat dropped. "That's weird; usually you seemed to find something to do."
Konata scratched her head. "I know, but for some reason it was just like that. I guess it happens."
Tsukasa had a blank look on her face. Konata seen this look in confusion, this was not like Tsukasa.
"What's wrong with Tsukasa, Kagami? She's more spacey than normal," asked Konata continued looking at Tsukasa.
Tsukasa woke up from the otaku's question. Kagami sighed some more at her sister's actions.
"She just is having an off day Konata. She was like this morning too," replied Kagami to her shorter friend.
"I guess everyone has a day like that. Like you can't help, but worry about what's going to happen to your favorite character in an event. It stays in your mind all day or longer," said Konata to her friends.
Tsukasa stiffened at the girl's statement. It was almost close to what was wrong with her. Kagami gave Konata a flat look.
"I don't know if that's what's wrong with Tsukasa, Konata. However you did bring up a good point," Kagami looked at Tsukasa. "Is something on your mind Tsukasa?"
"I'm thinking about something. It's not that important," replied Tsukasa waving a hand at the question.
She didn't feel like talking about the strange dream. The two other girls relaxed a little.
"Okay if you say so Tsukasa, but try to get it together. We have a full day of school ahead," said Kagami with concerned tone.
Konata sighed at Kagami's statement. "Do you have to keep harping at us about school Kagami?"
Kagami glared at the otaku, she was just too carefree about it.
Tsukasa sweat dropped at the twos antics.
"That part is very interesting, I can't wait to finish reading it," said a female voice.
Tsukasa turned around. "Good morning Yuki-Chan," called out Tsukasa to a pink haired girl with glasses, and wearing their school uniform.
"Oh good morning Tsukasa-san, Kagami-san, Izumi-san," replied Miyuki to her friends.
"So what book were you talking about Yuki-Chan?" asked Tsukasa curious about what she heard.
Miyuki looked stumped at Tsukasa's question.
"I didn't say anything about a book Tsukasa-san. However I was thinking about one, it was just very interesting," said Miyuki to see some shock on her friend's faces.
"Okay Tsukasa, you made a very good guess. I don't see you having a power like that though, since you seem too normal for something like that," said Konata with a flat tone.
Tsukasa sweat dropped at the otaku's jab. Kagami give Konata a flat look. There train arrived.
"Konata our train is here. It's time to go, or would you rather be late," said Kagami in flat tone.
The group got on their train for school.
(Later Ryoo High School)
In a classroom Tsukasa was writing down notes. It has been a weird day for the girl. For some reason it was easier for her to remember and learn. Almost like some kind of fog or something was lifted off her.
'So that's what it means. I don't know what's going on. It like someone exchanged my brain or something,' thought Tsukasa in confusion.
She would have some trouble focusing on school work. For some reason today she could think more clearly.
*Ring*
It was the end of the last class for the day. Tsukasa was still writing down notes.
"Okay make sure you finish with your homework this weekend, that includes my most troublesome students," said a blond teacher by the chalkboard.
She was wearing a white shirt with a red tie. She had on pair reddish pants with a belt on. Her long blond hair was in a ponytail, and had green eyes.
Konata slumped in defeat from Nanako's jab. The rest of the class started leaving.
'Why does it feel that was mostly directed at me?'" Konata thought while moaning.
They had to attack her from every angle today. Tsukasa finished writing and started to pack stuff together for home.
Konata looked at the girl confusion. Tsukasa has been acting strange all day. It was like she was learning better than normal.
"Tsukasa is that really you?" Konata asked the girl.
Tsukasa stiffened at the question.
"What's up that kind of question Konata?" asked Kagami walking up to the otaku's desk; she finished up with her class.
Miyuki walked close to Konata's desk, she also wanted to know what was going on.
Konata stared at Tsukasa intensely. "What I mean is Tsukasa seems to be doing better than normal. It's like someone else is here, like an imposter," Konata said suspiciously.
There was a lot of sweat dropping from the statement.
"Konata that's just plain ridicules! This is Tsukasa, I know my own sister," said Kagami with disbelief.
"Are you sure Kagami? She has been acting very weird today. I mean Tsukasa usually has some trouble with school," said Konata.
Tsukasa became white eyed in shock. That was a mean thing to say. It was then something happened to Tsukasa.
She glared at Konata. 'How can you say something like Kona-Chan! I know that, I can have some trouble learning, but what about you! I don't see you trying to improve in school!'
She was getting mad at the jab. Konata didn't see the look on Tsukasa's face. Miyuki and Kagami didn't see the look also. They were too focused on Konata.
"Izumi-san, don't you think that's a bit far? Tsukasa-san is trying very hard at school. Maybe she's improving," said Miyuki.
Konata shook her head. "Maybe, but it's hard to think of Tsukasa like that."
Tsukasa glared some more at Konata. It was then she got an unfocused look in her eyes.
"Hey Izumi, I need to have a talk with you," said Nanako walking up to the group.
"So sensei what is it?" asked Konata forgetting the conversation with her friends.
Kagami and Miyuki sweat-dropped at being forgotten by the otaku.
Since her other students are gone, time to get advice from Izumi.
"I need your help with certain point in a game," Nanako said to her gaming friend.
"Okay then let me in on it," replied Konata with interest.
She can easily handle gaming. It was more fun than school work.
The two got into an intense talk about the game. So much that Konata didn't realized something happening to her skirt. It was slowly becoming undone.
Tsukasa then looked at Nanako with the same look.
"So that's how you handle it thanks Izumi," said Nanako in excited tone.
That gaming tip seemed about right. She was so in grossed on the information. She didn't notice her belt unlatching itself. Then the pants button followed and her zipper. No one had seen it either.
Her pants didn't fall down, like they were being held up. Nanako started walking away to her desk. Miyuki then saw the look on Tsukasa's face.
"Are you okay Tsukasa-san?" said the pink haired girl with concern, Tsukasa's look was unsettling.
Tsukasa jumped up in fright. Kagami sighed at her sister's reaction.
"There you go spacing out again Tsukasa," said Kagami in flat tone.
Tsukasa blushed at the statement. She just couldn't help it. It was like some kind of switch was flipped.
*Thud*
"Ouch, what the hell!" cried out Nanako in disbelief.
The group of friends looks to see what happened to their teacher. Only to see a most unusual site. Nanako's butt in the air, she tripped when her pants fell down.
Her white and blue striped panties, with Lotte Marines on the back, were showing. Luckily for the teacher most of her students left for the day.
Tsukasa, Kagami, and Miyuki looked on in disbelief at the teacher's position.
Konata snickered. "I don't believe something like this would happen in real life! Nice fan service sensei," said Konata with thumbs up.
The blond teacher recovered from her fall and pulled up her pants. Nanako glared at the otaku while buttoning up her pants. She was also blushing from the accident.
"Ha-ha very funny Izumi. Have a laugh at the poor teacher," replied the blond teacher in a steel laced tone.
Konata just cat-like smiled at the teacher's statement. Konata gotten up from her chair. After standing up her skirt fell down.
Nanako smirked at this. "Nice pair of colorful panties Izumi."
Konata turned blue at the statement. She realized what happened to her skirt. Right now the otaku's white and orange panties were on display. On the back had a heterochromia girl in a brownish school uniform; on the waist band was the name Navel.
Konata went to work on fixing her problem.
"Are you trying to be funny Konata?" Kagami asked in a tired tone and hand on her face.
This day was becoming a mentally tiring day. First Tsukasa's act this morning and now this little shows between the two.
"I'm not trying to be funny Kagami. It's like we have some kind of ghost attacking us," replied Konata finished with the skirt.
Tsukasa sweated nervously at the happenings.
'I don't know why, but for some reason. I feel like this was my fault! I wanted to get back at Kona-chan's words. Then I focused on a couple of things Kuroi-sensei had done to me. What's wrong with me?' thought the distressed girl.
It was becoming more frightening, first school being easier, and now this. What's wrong with her?
"I guess this would count as fan service. I wonder if Tsukasa's panties would count as service. They are more childish though, so probably not. Kagami's would be better. Then again Miyuki-san would have them both beat. I guess Tsukasa is at the bottom."
Tsukasa heard Konata's statement. It made her feel more anger at the otaku.
'Why do you think you have that right Konata? You wear anime themed panties! So you don't have a right to say that!' thought Tsukasa with anger.
She couldn't help it, she liked them.
"I wonder if Tsukasa going to be alright."
'Onee-chan's voice! I don't understand. I didn't see her talking! What's going on!' thought Tsukasa, realizing she didn't see Kagami's mouth move.
"I guess the spacing out will pass soon. I wonder if she will be able to keep this change though. I guess not knowing Tsukasa, she probably be back to her old silly self."
Tsukasa felt her heartbreak at the statement; it felt like Kagami was telling the truth. If that's case, Kagami didn't seem to think very highly of her.
Tsukasa started to leave. Kagami looked to see Tsukasa leaving with her head down.
"Tsukasa wait up. I'm coming home with you," called out Kagami to her younger sister while walking to her sister.
"Leave me alone Kagami," muttered Tsukasa when Kagami got close to her.
Kagami was shocked at Tsukasa's statement. Konata and Miyuki were also shocked at the events. They barley fight at all.
"What do mean Tsukasa? I don't understand..."
Tsukasa glared at the older sister, causing Kagami to stop. "I said LEAVE ME ALONE KAGAMI!"
Kagami was pushed away from Tsukasa. Only Tsukasa or anyone didn't touch her. Kagami landed on her butt.
"Tsukasa what the…!"
"I don't want to hear it! I had it with your and Konata's insults! I know that I'm not as smart as you, and a little childish! But you don't have to be so mean about it! So you two just leave me alone!" yelled out Tsukasa.
Kagami and Konata looked in disbelief. What was Tsukasa talking about? Tsukasa ran out of the room. Konata looked on in confusion. She was about to follow the girl.
*SLAM*
The classroom door closed before she even got close to it.
Nanako looked nervous at drama unfolding. "I think you brats need to take this outside. I don't want to be responsible if you damage the school."
The trio of girls only looked on in disbelief at the strange events.
(Tsukasa)
The ribbon wearing girl walked down the hallway. She still is mad at Kagami and Konata. It was then two girl close-by watched her pass by. One had short brown hair and yellow eyes. The other one had long orange hair and blue eyes.
"Hey is that Hiiragi's younger sister Ayano?" asked the brown haired girl.
"I think so Misa-chan, but she looked mad. I wonder what happened to her?" asked Ayano to Misao confused.
They hardly ever see Tsukasa mad. Kagami and company showed up. They were worried about Tsukasa's act eailer.
"Oh hello there Hiiragi," called out Misao to the group.
"Oh Kusakabe, Minegishi have you seen Tsukasa pass by?" asked Kagami clearly worried about her sister.
"Yes she just went that way Hiiragi-chan," said Ayano pointed at the direction Tsukasa went.
"Thanks, let's go everyone," Kagami said to Konata and Miyuki.
The trio left the two girls. Misao and Ayano looked confused.
"Any idea what's going on Ayano?" asked Misao to her friend.
Ayano only shuggered her shoulders in confusion. No telling what was wrong with the Hiiragi's sisters.
Kagami, Miyuki, and Konata looked at Tsukasa's shoe locker; it looked like Tsukasa was going to her shoe locker. Tsukasa seemed to have changed her shoes.
"It looks like she left for home Kagami," said Konata.
"I'll try to calling her Konata," said Kagami reaching for her cell phone.
After a couple of rings, there was no answer.
"I don't get it. Tsukasa is not answering her phone. I know she has it on," Kagami said in worried tone.
Konata rubbed her chin. "It's possible that she turned it off Kagami."
Kagami and Miyuki become more worried at the statement. It seemed Tsukasa was pretty mad.
"I don't like this Konata. What's wrong with Tsukasa today? First the spacing out and suddenly she gets mad at us. I would like to know why?" Kagami said with more worry, what was wrong with her sister.
Miyuki seemed lost. "I don't know Kagami-san. It's like when she became mad at you. She acted like you and Izumi-san said something terrible to her."
Konata had gotten an idea.
"Maybe I was wrong and she does have some kind of power that's appearing," said Konata to the two girls.
Miyuki was lost at the statement. Kagami had a flat look on her face. It was then something came to her mind.
'What about when we were younger. I remember something like this. I don't know it might be nothing, than again it could be everything,' thought Kagami scratching her chin.
Konata and Miyuki looked at the twin-haired girl. It seemed Kagami thought of something.
"What's on your mind Kagami?" asked Konata.
"I'm not sure Konata. It's an old memory I have," replied Kagami with confusion.
"How so Kagami-san?" asked the pink-haired girl, she wanted to know if it could help.
Kagami sighed; time to talk about that incident.
"Something like this happened before when I and Tsukasa were in elementary school. I never thought about it, but Tsukasa was a bit different younger," said Kagami lost in thought.
Konata and Miyuki looked more confused.
"What do you mean different Kagami? Was she a trouble maker or something?" Konata asked curious about the statement.
"What I mean is Tsukasa was better at studying. Also seemed a little calmer or something like that."
Konata looked shocked at this. Even Miyuki was shocked. Tsukasa had some trouble studying, but how come she was better younger.
"Are you sure Kagami? I mean Tsukasa doesn't have the best track record on studying or keeping it together!" said Konata in disbelief.
It was too weird to think about.
"Well yes, but younger she could almost at times come close to my grades. Maybe that's where my competitive streak came from."
Miyuki and Konata were even more stumped. They nodded for her to continue explaining.
"Don't get me wrong. Tsukasa was still an airhead, only she could keep better track of her school work. That changed on that day," said Kagami.
"What do you mean on that day Kagami-san?" asked Miyuki.
"Well you know on how I was more responsible younger. I had at times had stopped us from being bullied. Then one day, I got hurt pretty badly by several bullies. I don't know what happened afterword, but it seemed Tsukasa saved me. Mom said Tsukasa got her and the bullies were taken care of. But before I blacked out, I remember something going on," said Kagami with some relentace.
That was bad day for the girl.
"Like what Kagami, I mean Tsukasa is very kind. She doesn't seem the type to do anything mean," said Konata confused at the story.
Kagami became even more troubled. "Your right about that Konata, Tsukasa had always been kind. It just before blacking out, I heard something like 'I won't forgive you for hurting Onee-chan'. Then it looked like something was being thrown at the bullies. I don't know, it might have been my mind playing tricks," Kagami finished explaining.
Konata looked troubled at the revelation. She at times had her share of bullies. This was something different, it almost sounded like Tsukasa had kept something hidden from Kagami, but if so. What was the secret that she was hiding?
"Kagami it sounds like Tsukasa was hiding something. I don't if that's the case though," said Konata while rubbing her chin.
Kagami realize it to. "Your right Konata! I didn't think much about it! There were times that I felt something was being kept from me. Tsukasa would almost share everything with me, but there seemed to be something hidden. I also had a feeling mom know something about it. Also after that, Tsukasa became like she is today."
Konata and Miyuki looked confused. What happened to Tsukasa in the past that could change her, and if it was responsible for everything going on today.
"I'm going to call home. I want mom to know about Tsukasa and maybe get some answers later," said Kagami dialing a phone number.
(Hiiragi household)
*Ring*
*Ring*
"Hello Hiiragi residence Miki speaking," Miki answered the phone.
"Yes mom, it's me Kagami."
"Oh hello Kagami, what's wrong?" asked Miki hearing her daughter's voice, made her worry something had happened.
"It's about Tsukasa mom. She left school ahead of me."
"Okay, then what's the matter?"
"She was angry about something."
"Angry about what Kagami?" asked the older woman in calm tone.
Kagami explained everything that happened with Tsukasa. Miki looked more troubled.
'I was right about Tsukasa! She is starting to remember or her powers are returning. Either way this is bad, I have to help her,' thought Miki with worry.
"Mom you still there?" asked Kagami since Miki didn't seem to responding to her.
"Oh sorry Kagami, I got lost in thought. I'll wait for Tsukasa at home. If she's not back by the time you get here, we'll go looking for her okay."
"Okay mom, I'll be home soon bye," said Kagami hanging up the phone.
Miki also hanged up the phone. She's now concerned for her youngest daughter.
'I should have known this would have happened. Tsukasa's power couldn't be held back forever, but it was what she wanted. I hope we can fix this,' thought Miki wondering what to do.
It was then she heard the door open and closed. Tsukasa walked up the stairs, still looking mad. Miki saw this look with concern. Tsukasa continued onto her room.
'So Kagami was right about Tsukasa being mad. I better talk to her, she needs to understand what's happening to her,' thought Miki while walking to the kitchen.
This was going to be a long talk, so best to have some tea, and snacks ready.
(Tsukasa's room)
Tsukasa laid down on her futon. She was tried from the fight with Kagami. It was heartbreaking to say the least. She didn't feel didn't like talking to her or Konata, so when Kagami tried to call, she didn't answer it.
'I can't believe Kona-chan and Onee-chan said those things. I know, I'm not perfect, but still why?' thought the girl almost about to cry.
"Tsukasa," called a voice at her door.
Tsukasa turned to see her mom entering her room with a tray.
"Mom why are you here?" Tsukasa asked curious about her being here.
Miki smiled softy to the girl. "I thought you would like some tea with me. Since you had a rough day," replied Miki in a motherly tone.
Tsukasa sit up to look at her mom. Miki put down the tray on a table and sit down by it. Tsukasa moved to the table, grabbed cup of tea, and sit down close-by. Tsukasa started to drink tea with her mom, it helped relaxed her.
Miki decided it time to talk to Tsukasa.
"We need to talk Tsukasa," said Miki to Tsukasa with a stern tone and looking serious.
"What about mom?" Tsukasa asked sweating nervously at her mother's tone of voice and look at her.
"About Kagami and Konata-chan at school," said Miki very simply.
Tsukasa stiffened. So it was about that.
"I would like to know what happened, so please tell me all about it," said Miki in the same tone.
Tsukasa sighed with defeat, time to come clean. "Okay mom, it happened like this."
Tsukasa explained everything to Miki. The strange dream, school being easer for her, and what happened in Nanako's classroom. Miki listed to everything. After Tsukasa finished talking it became clear.
'So Tsukasa's power is coming back, but not her memory of it. That's why she was so scared of everything and not able to control it. So that means if I don't help her remember, she might hurt someone very badly, including herself. Time to explain everything,' thought Miki understanding everything that taken place.
"Tsukasa it's time for you to understand something," said Miki with a determined tone.
"Y-yes mom," replied Tsukasa very nervously at her mother's tone.
"The reason for what happened is because you're a telepathic psychokinetic. The same power as me, only stronger on psychokinetic part," said Miki with calm tone.
Tsukasa looked confused now. What was she talking about?
"I don't understand mom, how can I have that kind of power. I mean wouldn't Onee-chan, Inori-oneechan, or Masturi-oneechan have it to?" asked Tsukasa at the statement.
Miki shook her head. "I don't know why they don't have it. Only you seemed to have it. It seems to miss a generation or so," Miki explaining the reason.
Tsukasa looked even more lost, this was so unreal.
"If that's the reason so why now and not when I was younger mom, I mean wouldn't it happen sooner?" asked Tsukasa with some disbelief.
"It did happen when you were younger Tsukasa. You only forget about it," said Miki calmly to Tsukasa.
Tsukasa was starting to get frustrated at the information.
"I don't to be mean mom, but why me! I mean wouldn't anyone else seem more right for this," said Tsukasa in disbelief, she didn't seem that special.
"Tsukasa that's not how it works, I don't know why you. It's one of those things, where it happens regardless of the person. You have to accept it like I did," Miki said with a calm tone.
"But Mom, you haven't shown anything like that before," stated Tsukasa with a tight tone, it was starting to sound like a joke.
It was then a cup of tea close-by floated to Miki's hand. She put it into her hand. Tsukasa's eyes widen in shock that was like what happened at school. Miki started drinking the tea calmly.
"The underwear you have on today Tsukasa is with little dogs."
Tsukasa became more frightened, her mom's voice was in her head. It sounded like Konata's, Miyuki's and Kagami's voice earlier. Only this seemed to carry more weight to it. She was also right about her underwear.
"M-mom how can you do that?! I can hear you in my mind, like you can project your thoughts!" said Tsukasa in disbelief, seeing her mother finish drinking.
"I told you that you inherited my power, only in the Telepathic part. I'm stronger then you. If you still don't believe me, I can tell you anything about your sisters or you very easily," said Miki placing the tea cup back on the tray.
Tsukasa wanted to be sure it was real.
"Okay, then tell me anything about my day at school," said Tsukasa looking a little scared, but at the same time feeling relief for some reason.
Miki put her fingers on her chin in thought.
"Well you wanted to a little more flavor to your lunch at school Tsukasa. After all Kagami did make it a little bland," Tsukasa's eyes widened at the statement. "Kagami almost made a 100 on today's test didn't she?"
Tsukasa couldn't believe it that was right on the mark. They had a test yesterday and Kagami had shown it to her. So everything is true, in a weird way it made sense.
"Why did I forget my power mom? Was it sealed or something?" Tsukasa asked her mother.
Miki nodded in understanding. "That's your own doing Tsukasa."
Tsukasa looked lost. "What do you mean? I did this mom," said Tsukasa more confused than ever.
Miki looked sadly at her daughter. "I could explain it, but it would be faster. If I removed the block on your mind, if you want me to remove it," asked Miki looking straight in to Tsukasa's eyes.
Tsukasa simply nodded. Miki put her hand on Tsukasa's forehead. Suddenly Tsukasa was bombard with images, no memories of the past.
(Flashback Tsukasa-4 years old)
In a room a young girl was sitting down on the floor. Various toys were around her. She was dressed in a jumper and white shirt. Suddenly the toys started flying around the room, only with no one holding them.
Little Tsukasa giggled in delight. Now able to make all of her toys fly, it's too much fun!
"Tsukasa where are you," called out her mother, trying to find her daughter.
It was almost time to eat. Kagami was already at the table waiting. Miki walked in to see the site of toys flying around with no one holding them.
"Tsukasa what are you doing?!" cried out Miki in disbelief at the site.
Suddenly the toys fell to the ground. Tsukasa looked at her mom with pleading eyes. Did she do something bad? Miki looked at the girl more softly.
"Sorry about that sweetie. You just surprised me is all?" Miki stood by her child and picked her up. "I'm not mad at you. Can you tell me how you did that," said Miki in motherly tone looking at Tsukasa softly.
"I'm not sure mommy. It was like magic! I wanted them to fly and then whoosh they can fly!" said the girl in excited tone, it was just so fun.
Miki understood what happened, her power was passed on. She tried to keep an eye out for any signs of it, with her children. It seems her youngest was the lucky one to inherit the power. This made her frown.
"Mommy did I do something bad?" Tsukasa asked seeing the frown her mother's face.
Miki smiled a bit to calm down the girl. "It's okay Tsukasa. Let's go it's time to eat lunch. We need to talk about this later," said Miki walking with Tsukasa in her arms.
"Okay!" cried out the girl, she was getting hungry.
(Months later)
The inside of a kitchen. Things were flying around, but moving to where Miki was standing at.
"Thanks Tsukasa, you're getting the hang of this," Miki thanking Tsukasa for helping her fix dinner.
Miki decided to help Tsukasa in controlling her power. She knows what could happen if not controlled; it would be disastrous at least. It also seemed Tsukasa liked to help with cooking and household choirs.
"You're welcome mommy," said Tsukasa standing close-by, happy to help her mother.
She was still a little too young to help cook, but with her power she could. After her mommy found out about her gift, she wanted to keep it secret. Tsukasa didn't understand the reason, but went along with it.
"We'll just let that cook a little longer. Let's start setting the table sweetie," said Miki walking to the cablents.
Tsukasa followed Miki content with helping.
'I don't believe how fast she able to use telekinesis. I guess she is just stronger in that. At least that's a bit easier than telepathy, since she's not that strong with it. I just hope she's able to control it. I think she will, she just need some time,' thought the purple-haired woman.
She had trouble with controlling her own power in the past. It was a horrible to say the least, when she started to read minds, and able to mess with one's mind. It was a very scary thought for the woman.
(Later-end of school)
Tsukasa packed up her things; she had on a simple elementary school uniform. It was almost time to leave school.
'It almost time for the ceremony. I hope Onee-chan will be there in time. I wonder what she wanted to take care of?' thought Tsukasa, worried about her sister's abstance.
Kagami wanted to do something. Tsukasa so far had kept her power a secret from Kagami. It was frustrating thing to do; she wanted to tell her sister about it.
'Maybe, I should tell her about it. I mean mom did tell dad about my power. I don't know,' thought the girl in confusion.
A part of her wanted to talk about it, but at the same time was scared. Tsukasa is scared that Kagami would starting calling her a freak.
"HELP ME!"
"Onee-chan?" called out Tsukasa in shock.
It sounded like Kagami was in trouble.
"SOMEONE HELP ME!"
Tsukasa sensed Kagami being hurt. Her telepathic power was not as strong as her mother, but it was still strong enough see into the mind a little. Something was wrong with Kagami.
'Onee-chan is in danger! I've got to help her!' thought Tsukasa while running to where her sister was.
She could sense the place she was at. Arriving there to see a bad site. Lying on the ground was Kagami with some scrapes; she was wearing the same uniform as Tsukasa.
"ONEE-CHAN!" cried out Tsukasa at the site of Kagami.
Three girls the same age as Kagami and Tsukasa stood close-by laughing. One had blue hair, a blond one, and tan colored hair; they were in school uniform like the Tsukasa. Tsukasa know each one of them. Those girls had been giving Tsukasa and Kagami some trouble. They were jealous of their grades.
They had lured Kagami here and then beat up the girl. She didn't have a chance against her attackers.
"Well look at what we got here girls. The dork sister of Kagami, the one who is most childish," said the blond-hair one with scorn.
The other two smirked at seeing Tsukasa. Tsukasa back-off a little, even if she was stronger than them. They still scared her. Kagami for the most part kept them at bay.
"T-T-Tsukasa you need to runway, get help!" cried out Kagami looking at Tsukasa, she was worried that her sister would get hurt.
Kagami got kicked on the side. She rolled to her side looking at her attackers. It was done by the tan-haired one.
"You need to be quiet Hiiragi. We had enough of your voice," said the girl in a voice fill with disgust.
Seeing her sister getting kicked made something snapped in Tsukasa. She lowered her head and made a fist.
"Look she is about to cry!" said the blue-haired one mocking Tsukasa.
"I won't forgive," muttered Tsukasa.
"What was that?" asked the leader.
It was then Tsukasa glared at them. They jumped back, for Tsukasa's eyes seemed to be glowing lightly.
"I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR HURTING ONEE-CHAN!" cried out Tsukasa mad at them for hurting her sister.
Some rocks close-by Tsukasa flied at the trio of girls.
"Ouch! What's going on!" cried out the tan haired girl.
'Tsukasa what are you doi…' thought Kagami before she blacked out.
'Onee-chan that does it they will pay!' thought Tsukasa becoming more enraged at the trio.
Tsukasa held out her palms at the girls.
The blue and tan haired were pushed back, like something punched them. Whatever it was, it knocked them on to their backs, and the breath out of them. The blond was scared, what was happening.
"W-What are you?! Some kind of freak!" cried out the girl to Tsukasa, with fear.
'She's the one responsible for this,' thought Tsukasa looking at the blond girl.
Tsukasa cupped her hands together making them look like they were holding something. The blond girl felt something grab her; it was lifting her off the ground.
"What's going on?" cried the terrified girl.
Tsukasa started closing her hands, at the same time the girl felt like something was crushing her.
"No please stop. Please stop!"
It was getting stronger; she was beginning to feel like a nut about to be crushed.
"TSUKASA STOP RIGHT NOW!" a voice cried out.
Tsukasa snapped out of it and the girl dropped to the ground. Miki came running at her daughter, dressed normally.
She came for their graduation ceremony. She had sensed something was wrong with her children. Luckily it seemed she came at the right time, because if she didn't stop Tsukasa, she would have crushed the girl.
"Mom!" Tsukasa cried out to her mother, forgetting her rage.
She became very scared, she almost crushed the girl. Miki stopped running, when she was close enough to her frightened daughter.
Miki hugged the girl to calm her down. "Shh it's alright, rest now Tsukasa," said Miki hugging the girl and rubbing her back.
Tsukasa fell sleep in Miki's embrace. Miki used some of her power to calm down the girl. She glared at the trio of girls; they have gone too far with her children.
They seemed to be recovering from Tsukasa's attack. It was then they got a glazed look in their eyes.
'I don't want to use my power like this, but it needs to be done. I can't have Tsukasa treated like some kind of freak or worse. So it's best if they forget about Tsukasa's power. I'll still have them punished for hurting Kagami though,' thought Miki working on erasing there memory of the incident.
(A few hours later-Hiiragi living room)
Miki was standing by a man about her age. His short black hair was a little spiky; he had on a business suit. Tadao had gotten off from work now. He was listing to Miki's explanation about earlier today.
The bullies were being taken care of by their parents. There memories of the ordeal gone. Currently Kagami was with her older sisters to help calm her, it was terrible experience for her. Tsukasa was in her room.
"So that's what happened today with Tsukasa," said Tadao looking concerned.
Tadao knows everything about Miki's and Tsukasa's power. It was a bit unnerving at times with his wife, but he still loves her greatly. He accepted her for who she is.
Miki nodded sadly. She didn't think that Tsukasa's power would be that strong.
"I didn't think anything like this would happen. I tried so hard to help her control it, but then this happens," Miki's voice was breaking up.
Tadao hugged his wife. He understood some of the hardships of having this power.
"I know you did all you could Miki, but not everything can be controlled like we want it to be. That's life, if you did have control then you and Tsukasa wouldn't have this power. You need to be there for Tsukasa, she needs you more than ever," Tadao comforting his wife.
Miki seemed to be calming down. She looked at her husband with relief; he knows how to comfort her.
"Your right dear, it just saddening to see Tsukasa like this. When this happened to me, I was so frightened. I didn't mean to hurt them like that," said Miki very sadly at her own memory of something like this.
Tadao just hugged her closer. "I know Miki, you're a kind soul. Tsukasa got that from you, so you need to help her understand, that's she not alone."
Miki nodded. She needed to help Tsukasa get through this.
(Tsukasa)
Tsukasa is sitting down on her futon. She couldn't help, but feel so helpless. She lost control of her own gift.
'I didn't mean to go that far. Why did have to happen, I wanted to save Onee-chan, but not like that. I don't want this power ANYMORE! If it means that, I have to hurt anyone like that!' thought Tsukasa scared at what she done.
Tsukasa's eyes suddenly became blank looking.
(Tsukasa's Parents)
Miki felt something change with Tsukasa. Tadao looked worried at Miki had stiffening.
"What's wrong Miki?"
"I don't know, something happened to Tsukasa right now." Miki looked at Tadao. "Let's go check on her."
Tadao nodded and let go of Miki. They walked to Tsukasa's room. To see Tsukasa walking around the room just fine, she seemed worried about Kagami.
"Tsukasa honey you doing okay?" Miki asked seeing Tsukasa.
"I'm okay mom, dad. How's Onee-chan doing?" asked Tsukasa with concerned tone.
Miki sighed in relief, it seemed Tsukasa was okay.
"She's doing fine thanks to you," said Miki to Tsukasa.
Tsukasa give a blank look at her parents. Miki and Tadao didn't like the look.
"What do you mean mom. I didn't do much. I went and got you to help Onee-chan," said Tsukasa very simply.
Tadao and Miki looked puzzled at the statement. Miki looked into Tsukasa mind, what she found was not good.
'I don't believe it! Tsukasa blocked it out. The memory of her power is sealed! That means she was that scared,' thought the mother of the child.
"Tsukasa don't you remember about the bullies?" asked Tadao.
Tsukasa nodded. "I remember seeing Onee-chan getting hurt by them and going to mom for help."
Tadao was about to correct the girl. Miki held out a hand stopping from speaking.
"That's about right Tsukasa. Why don't you go see Kagami? I bet she would love to see you now," said Miki to Tsukasa with a soothing tone.
"Okay mom," said Tsukasa leaving to check on Kagami.
"Okay Miki what was that about?" asked her husband, curious as why she stopped him.
"It's because Tsukasa sealed her power and her memories of it," said Miki.
"You mean that..."
Miki nodded. "Yes she was that afraid. So much that she sealed it accidently."
"Can't you break that seal?" asked Tadao, knowing that Miki could do that.
Miki give him a sad look. "I can, but I don't think it would be wise."
"How so Miki?"
"If I did, it might hurt Tsukasa. Even damage her psych; she wants to forget about it. Also she would fight me, it might hurt me in the process," said Miki with some reluctance.
Tadao rubbed his chin. "So we have to wait for this seal to break or Tsukasa could live a normal life."
Miki shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know dear. She could live the rest of her not knowing about it. Or her power would return and she can't control it. I don't want to risk something like that happening which could harm her or anyone else. I would like Tsukasa to remember it though."
"Why's that Miki?"
"Because Tsukasa's power is a part of herself. Something that even though has given me grieve, but at the same time made me a little stronger," said Miki with a tone fill with resolve.
Tadao nodded in understanding. It was like something that had to live with, almost like a disability.
"I guess we wait and see if Tsukasa's power returns," said Tadao simply.
'I hope if that time comes. You are strong enough to stand it Tsukasa,' thought Miki worried for Tsukasa.
(Flashbacks End)
Tsukasa jolt back. Miki removed her hand from Tsukasa's forehead.
She started taking some deep breaths and sweat forming. It became so clear now.
"I was so scared from that incident. So much that I wanted it to be gone! I sealed everything by accident," said Tsukasa in understanding.
She didn't want this power anymore, not if it meant hurting someone. Since she was not as good as her mom. It had lessened some of her thinking.
"I'm glad your power didn't do too much damage Tsukasa," said Miki with relief, but still a bit of an edge on it.
Tsukasa blushed, even not too bad. It still was bad somewhat.
"I need to apologize to everyone," said Tsukasa nervously.
She felt bad at what she done.
"I guess you do Tsukasa," said Miki agreeing with the point made.
Tsukasa got a troubled look on her face.
"I wonder if this will change me or anything like that?" asked Tsukasa scared; it seemed she was changing into someone else.
Miki hugged the girl, to help comfort her. Tsukasa returned the embrace.
"Your still you Tsukasa, that will never change," Miki said softy to Tsukasa.
"Thank you mom," Tsukasa said happy.
She was glad to have her mother's support. Miki continued to hold the girl, for Tsukasa going to need all of her support. They had a rough road ahead.
