Lian looked out onto the audience. She stood in front of everyone with her twin sister, Kiri, who was the lead singer with Lian. Tao smiled and waved from the keyboards. Asa scrunched up her nose and smiled as she held the guitar. Nariko slapped the drumsticks together.
"The water pressure's weak. The porch light blinks. And the milk tastes sour. And I like that way." Lian and Kiri began to sing as Asa, Nariko, and Tao play the instruments. The twin sisters continued to sing as they watched the audience cheer.
Lian walked into the back room with the others. "Omi, I am so tired. Luckily, Kiri and I get to go up to our aunt's ski resort and spa to watch it while it is closed."
"Hai, you are leaving your band and didn't bother to invite us." Tao stuck out her lower lip to show that she was joking. She pulled off her hat, showing her short black hair.
"Don't worry, Tao. My aunt already invited her best friend's kids and their friends. Of course, her nieces get thrown in as extras." Kiri answered and fell backwards on to the couch. "She didn't like our mother because she married a Chinese man."
"Tao! Look, we get an entire week off while Kiri and Lian are stuck babysitting a ski resort. It is the summer, neesan. There isn't going to be that much snow!" Nariko said and grabbed her backpack. "Anyhow, I have to leave! Obaasan wanted me home early." Nariko ran out the door, waving backwards.
"Hai. Fubo said to come home. Ja ne!" Asa said in her quiet voice and ran out the door, holding her guitar case. She was the only one of the band who had a mother and father.
"Kiri, we have to go home and pack. Can you clean up, Tao?" Lian asked and slipped her backpack over her shoulder. "We are catching the train in the morning."
"Of course, I can. But you have to ask me really nicely." Tao smiled and put up a peace sign. "Sayanora as the Japanese say." Tao waved to the twin girls as the walked out. Like Lian and Kiri, Tao was Chinese but lived in Japan with her sister.
Kiri was in her bedroom. Her long black hair was in a braid. She thought on how different she was from her sister, besides having Japanese name. Lian loved her hair short and she streaked it with crazy colors. She wore crazy clothes. Kiri, on the other hand, kept her hair long and tried to stay traditional. Kiri loved to sing sweet songs and Lian loved her sad songs. The twin sisters were exact opposites.
Kiri thought about her aunt. She was short Japanese women who used to live in Tokyo until their mother moved to China and met their father. Their aunt moved near Honshu and started the Tetsuya Resort. It was directed toward the tourists to ski and try hot springs during the winter.
After Kiri's parents died, their aunt began to send them money and invite them to go shopping. Kiri knew it was out of guilt of abandoning her little sister. She yawned and fell backwards onto the bed. She had to wake up at four something in the morning to catch the train.
Lian sat on her bed, playing with her doll, humming their song, 'Phobophobia.' She was packed with everything. She couldn't wait to go to the resort. She opened the letter and read it quietly-
"Dear Kiri- I have to go to Kyoto for a week and I was hoping you could watch my resort. It is closed and no one should be up there. I invited my friend's kids and his friend. Takeru Takaishi and his older brother. Take care, Kiri. -Your Hakubo."
Lian felt a little hurt. Their aunt never liked her because she said she had a karayou. Lian was just a little girl when her aunt said that. And she didn't know much Japanese. She asked Kiri when they got older and her sister said that it meant Chinese style. Her mother didn't care. She taught Lian the Chinese zodiac in the Japanese language.
~Flashback~
"Ne, ushi, tora, u, tatsu, mi. Ashikarazu, hahaoya. I can't remember the seventh sign." Lian frowned and sat down on the chair.
"It's alright, Lian. Begin with the eighth sign." Her mother smiled and nodded.
"Hitsuji, saru, tori. Ashikarazu. I can't remember the rest." Lian shook her head. "When is my father coming home, hahaoya? Or when is Kiri coming home from school?"
"Kiri will be home in an hour and your father will be home before dinner." Her mother whispered, softly and sweetly. "Go get the rice for me to cook."
~End of Flashback~
"The angels are falling and it's raining on my birthday. I'm sitting in muddy water but it ain't that bad." Lian sang softly and stared at the stars. "I want to get away, fly away from this broken palace."
Disclaimer: Digimon does not belong to me. But Kiri, Lian, Tao, Asa, and Nariko do. And so does their band and their songs. It is basically my band and my songs. Only Japanese. Oh yes, this is going to be scary...
