/Hiiro POV/
My brother's laughter rings out in the night sky, a challenge to anyone who faces us. Mine soon joins his, and we laugh in sync. The wind sends his cape, and my ankle length black hair waving in the wind. I turn my head into the breeze and pull my hair into my signature ponytail. We are almost the same height, but he is still a head taller than me. Our silhouettes protrude from the moon. I stand behind my older brother by half a step, and cry out, "A whole land of weaklings!"
"Isn't there anyone who can put up a good fight sis?"
"Don't know Kuro!" I throw back my head and laugh. I crouch down, and slide off the roof. My brother follows.
"Hikari, please be more careful," I wave him off.
"Please I have the same fighting spirit you do, I'm stubborn when it comes to danger,"
"I don't want you hurt!"
"You sound like da-" I slam my mouth shut, and look at my brother. Shit I screwed up big-time. Kuro shuts down on me, and I can only try to take it back.
"K-Kuro…..I'm so-so sorry,"
He shoulders past me, and my hand flies up to the jewel hanging from my neck. Mother please watch over Kurogane and bring him peace. My prayer flies up, but I don't know if it will be answered in time. I slowly begin to follow my brother, when I see him turn around. He gives me a small smile, and I know that he has forgiven me.
"Thank you…brother." I smile at him.
Time Skip~
"What're you doing I serve you!" my brother cries as the red tentacles wrap around us and drag us down.
"You say you want to become stronger Kurogane, Hikari, but there is no one left in this country strong enough to challenge the both of you. And still you two are unwilling to put down your swords! I'm sending you away to help you improve!"
"Oh right you're just happy to get rid of us!" I yell. The princess looks taken aback, but has no time to say anymore before the tentacles drag me and my brother down into the abyss.
Time skip~
My brother and I arrive in a strange new world. I feel rain pelting my cheeks, but I remain crouched. My sword crosses Kuro's. My head is bent, I refuse to look at where we were. My long bangs hid my eyes well enough for me to allow them to widen in fear.
"Who are you lady?" My brother's gaze hardens as he speaks first.
"You're the dimensional witch, isn't that right?" A blonde man asks. I stand up, and face the woman in front of me. Her gaze piercing. If I hadn't grown up fighting off monsters most of my life, I would have shivered at the mere sight.
"I have been called that it's true," Her voice soft, unlike her hardened gaze.
I hear a gasp from behind me, then a shout, "Please madam my friend needs your help! She's a princess!" I turn my gaze on the boy and girl behind us. The next thing though shocks me the most.
"Can you help me save her life?"
