The midnight moon shines brightly next to the stars. Jasdevi is on a mission in the woods, harvesting for innocence. They wander off to a girl crying next to a tree...
They were in the middle of know where. Why do you think she's crying, Devit? my twin asks me.
I don't know, I respond. Maybe she is lost.
Should we go over by her, hii? my twin asks.
I don't know Jasdevi... maybe we should leave and just find the innocence before master Earl starts dinner.
But we can't just leave her here, we can at least take her to the nearest town. Jasdero stated.
Alright, but that's it, were going to leave her alone afterwards.
Jasdero didn't respond.
We walked over to the girl, our footsteps cracking dry leaves beneath us. The girl looked up, startled. "Are...you the.. monster of the woods?" she asked.
As we looked at her closer, she was older than she looked. She had silver hair that hung over her face, a torn white skirt and her face was flawless. "Monster?" We asked. "What monster?"
"The monster that haunts these woods and attacked me. It shot bullets and smoke-filled the forest, making me retreat and leaving Sally behind." The girl cried.
Jasdero and I right away knew what had attacked her, "Whose Sally?"
"My cat." She said.
"Do you want us to take you home?"
"Us?" she asked, "Your just one. No one else is around. Is your friend lost too?"
We began to laugh and the girl looked more startled. "Don't worry my brother ain't lost."
Ready? I asked Jasdero.
Ready. Jasdero responded.
We separated from one another in front of the girl. I looked at Jasdero and he looked at me, then we both laughed. I turned toward the little girl, but she was gone.
"Oi? Where'd she go?" I asked aloud.
"There, hii!" Jasdero pointed ahead. The girl was running deeper into the woods, her silver hair flowing behind her.
"Great, Road's going to pick us up here and now we have to chase after that brat." I complained.
"Guess were missing dinner." Jasdero whined.
"Or..." I started.
I called forth an Akuma and it appeared before us. "You, Akuma." I said pointing to the girl still running. "Go fetch her for us, will ya?"
The Akuma nodded and rushed forward after the girl. "See Jasdero, we won't miss dinner this way"
"Then how are we going to bring her home, hii?" Jasdero asked looking up at me.
"Damn it! I didn't think about that."
Akuma hurry it up! I called.
-0-Soon After-0-
The Akuma returned soon after. Jasdero and I walked up to the girl in the Akuma's arms. "Let me go!" She screamed.
"Your such a brat." I stated, "We just want to take you home."
"No! I'm never going back there! Never!"
I looked at Jasdero and then back at the girl. I sighed, "Why not?"
"I'm not telling you anything! I don't even know your names!" She exclaimed."And this creäture is going to eat me!"
"Akuma let her go." Jasdero and I said. As the Akuma dropped her I said, "Akuma blow up, will ya?"
A huge explosion right away happened and smoke-filled the area. As it cleared the girl was gone! "Jasdero where-"I began, but stopped when I followed his gaze to my chest.
My eyes widened when I saw a ball of silver hair against me. The girl must have clung onto something during the explosion, I thought to myself and that something was my coat."
She didn't seem to notice what she grabbed hold of because she didn't move. Without thinking, my hand slid on top of her head. She looked up slightly and right when she saw me she jumped off. Jasdero then asked, "So what's your name?"
The girl didn't look up at Jasdero, but responded, "My name...my name is Wakaru."
"Wakaru." My brother repeated.
"Well, I'm Devit..."I started.
"And I'm Jasdero..."
Then we both said, "Together we are Jasdevi!"
"So you have three names?" Wakaru asked puzzled.
"I guess you can say that, hii." Jasdero laughed.
"So, now will you tell us why you're not going back?"
"Nope."
"But we told you our names." I said, but as I said it, it sounded pathetic.
"Sorry, it's a secret." She smiled.
"Well fine we'll leave you here." I said turning around, "Come on, Jasdero." I called behind me.
I heard Jasdero's footsteps behind me and I stopped to turn around, "I hope you lucky enough that the monster of the woods won't find you!" I called out to Wakaru.
As Jasdero caught up, Wakaru was right behind him. "Wakaru, I thought you said you didn't want to go home." I teased.
"Well...I was thinking about it...and I was wondering...if I could maybe...go home with you?"
My face turned expressionless along with Jasdero's. We looked at each other and then back to Wakaru. "Well our family is kind of strange." I said.
"Yeah, Lord Millennium is real scary." Jasdero stated.
"I don't mind." Wakaru said.
I looked over to Jasdero, "Do you think the Earl will allow this?"
"I'm not sure, but if he kills her than it's not our problem." Jasdero whispered.
"Well what about Road? She'll go berserk!"
"Well like I said it's not our problem, hii!" Jasdero laughed.
"OK, then it's settled. You can stay with us, but only for tonight." I told Wakaru.
"Fine." she said.
"But were going to have to wait for Road."
"Road?" she asked.
"Our...little...sister." Jasdero and I said at ounce.
