My siblings and I were jumping from tree to tree, when Taiyo, my youngest half-brother, decided to take a break. I couldn't go on without him or his dad would kill me, so we decided to sit down and rest for a while. Once Taiyo sets his mind on something nobody but his dad could stop him. Besides Taiyo, I have two other half siblings. Kuro-hi is the oldest out of them; Moeru hoshi is the youngest girl. There are four of us all together, but I have a different dad then them.
I don't know my father, but that's kind of why we are all here, to find him. My name is Rakurai; I'm the oldest with 14 years. Kuro-hi is 13, Moeru hoshi is 12, and Taiyo, her younger twin, is only a few minutes younger than her. Our mom died shortly after giving birth to Taiyo. My step father never really cared for me, so I've practically been raising myself since I was two.
We stopped and took a break; Mom said I look just like my dad. Apparently I have his silver hair, I'm tall, lean, muscular, and I supposedly have his speed and strength. Also, if you looked at me, you would probably think I was a boy, my hair spikes over to the right, unless it's wet; but when it dries it just goes back to the way it was, and it just barely reaches past the middle of the back of my neck. However I might look, I'm a girl all the way through, well, not a girly-girl.
At least I have my own eyes, the whites of them are black, and my pupils are just slits, like a cat's in the sunlight. Normally they are black and you can't see them, but they change according to my mood, unless it's night, in which case they are white no matter my emotion. For example, when I'm calm they are a deep forest green, if I get really ticked off they are crimson red, happiness would be a sky blue, when I concentrate enough they are orange, (an odd color for concentration, I know) when I get annoyed they are a storm gray, being sad or depressed results in dark blue pupils, and black represents emotionless (my usual color). Yes, I am aware that my eyes are pretty freaky.
I was brought out of my thoughts when I heard Moeru hoshi scream, "I'll get you for that!" as she climbed out of the water that she had been pushed into by Kuro-hi, to chase him.
"Alright, time to go," I said to all of them, in all reality it was WAY past time to go, and we needed to get to our destination tonight.
"Awe come on Rakurai, can't we just stay a little longer? My feet still hurt!" Taiyo complained slash asked me.
"Nope we have to go, but tell you what; I'll give you a piggy back ride the rest of the way. How's that sound?" I had to come up with something, we really needed to go.
He nodded his head about a thousand times before jumping on my back. I turned around to see a now drenched Kuro-hi, and a laughing Moeru hoshi. They would dry off fast enough, besides, it's summer.
"Kuro-hi, you should give Moeru hoshi a ride on your back that way we get there faster," I knew exactly what I was doing, I was playing with fire, but I couldn't help but laugh inside my head at the evil glare that he gave me as he tossed Moeru hoshi on his back. I was glad it was night, that way he wouldn't be able to tell how much I enjoyed teasing him. Moeru hoshi just looked smug and stuck her tongue out at him. He probably didn't mind as much as he let on, he doesn't mind Moeru hoshi THAT much; she just gets on his nerves sometimes, like all little sisters do.
