Chapter 1: The Story Begins.
Barret's P.O.V
"Come on Barret, wait up!" My sister Azure called from behind me. She was late, yet again. Sometimes, she just does not posses the competence to do anything right. And she wonders why dad calls her slow from time to time. I let the cords of my I-pod's headphones dangle across my chest, pretending not to hear her shouting. She finally caught up to me, her red hair a tangled mess, the ribbon perched on it in a ruffle.
"Why do you look like you just rolled out of bed?" I asked. She stood straight up, huffing.
"Because I just did." She responded after a moments pause.
"Az, mom told us not to be late for our appointment this time…" I said flatly.
"Yeah… well screw her, what does she know?" She muttered. I sighed; does she always need to talk about mom so negatively?
"Azure, why do you think so badly of mom?" I asked after we stepped into a steady walking pace.
"Easy, she's a cheater/" She answered. I rolled my eyes.
"Oh yeah, I forgot about your ridiculous theory that she cheats on dad with Mr. Urameshi." I said with a mock interest.
"Well, dad will finally believe me when he puts two and two together my dear twin, I mean, why else would mom come home so late?" I swear… we really are not related, even under my mom's claims we were born in the same room, twenty minutes apart, it's all a lie…
"She's a waitress at a late night bar Az! Of course she's going to come home late!" I exclaimed. She scared the crap out of me by appearing at my left side, she was on the right five seconds ago.
"That leads us too exhibit two! Why would she work at a late night bar if she's already a teacher?" She questioned. Yeah, my mom is the teacher of my school's Demon myths class. Makes sense being that we are demons.
"Azure, she takes that second job to pay for your damn shopping fits!" I explained, my voice rising in tone.
"Well, whatever, where are we going?" she questioned. I sighed, she always gives up, and she will never make a good politician, that's for sure…
"Right now, Uncle Temmaro to do something about your hair…" I answered grabbing her wrist and dragging her off.
We came to the small shop at the edge of town. It was small, orange, and had a sign that said "Maro's cuts" on it... I dragged my protesting sister in and rang the bell.
"Uncle Temmaro?" I asked. He came out from the back room, colliding with the desk.
"Ow…" Azure knelt beside him.
"Uncle Temmaro! Are you ok?!" she asked, very alarmed. Uncle Temmaro has only been here a week, and he is from demon world, he has never been sure of human world according to mom, and he sure isn't used to it now. He shook his head while rubbing on it.
"Yeah… I'm ok, so, what can I get you guys?" He asked once he was standing. I pointed to Azure.
"Help the girl with the rat's nest for hair." I received a painful kick from Azure for that one. Nevertheless, Uncle Temmaro managed to fix her hair right up. The ribbon was nice and neat, and her hair was sleeked down. I looked at the time.
"Oh crap Azure! No time for our appointment, we got to get to school!" I shouted. Azure gasped and followed me out the door, briefly thanking our uncle. We raced to school. Azure knocked into someone on the way.
"Oh my, I'm so sorry-"She paused, and we looked at the man. He wore a red and green fighters robe, and his ears were pointed. He had black hair and his eyes were firmly shut. I felt like I've seen him before…
"Think nothing of it children." He said before walking on. I helped Azure up. We walked cautiously the rest of the way.
"Barr… I know I've seen that man before, like, when we were really little…. I nodded.
"I felt it too, he had some type of demonic energy, and I don't like it." Once at school, we ran into the classroom. Unfortunately, we were late, and our homeroom teacher? Mrs. Minamono…
"And where have you two been?" She questioned. Azure gave a scoff and went over to her seat.
"Well mo- I mean Mrs. Minamono… We were trying to get to an appointment before school, and well…we didn't quite make it." The class broke out in stifled giggling.
"Well, go sit, don't do it again, you are still getting marked absent for first period." Aw crap… Azure's friend, Kuro, threw a paper ball at me. I picked it up and opened it.
What up with you two? It read, I wrote back.
Not sure, but my mom and dad are leaving on a trip to the woods this week, so we may be able to slip by without getting yelled at when we get home. After a while, I got it back.
Ever considered throwing a party while your parents are gone? Party? I'm sure Azure knows something that I don't now… At lunch, I found my way over to Ryu Kuwabara, my long time friend. He was busy poking at his lunch with a disinterested look. I dropped my tray and sat by him.
"What's up Minamono?" He asked. I shrugged.
"My sister getting into trouble, again…" He suddenly became interested.
"What now, is she still nagging your mom about an affair that isn't going on?" He asked. I shook my head.
"No…well, yes, but this time I think she and her friend Kuro are planning something…" I said, handing him the note. He put it down.
"Those two, I swear she's going to end up like your mom at sixteen, very pregnant…" He pushed away the note. I didn't take offense to that, my mom told us to use that example to keep the others from doing something they shouldn't.
"Well, they are close…" I agreed. Ryu got up.
"Ryu?" He flicked his navy blue hair. He turned back to me.
"I'm off to go think, if she throws the party, you know where to find me and Anana, we'll help try and keep you out of trouble." He said, Anana is his sister. I nodded in response as he took off. I looked at the note.
"Barret?" I jumped as my mother's voice came from behind me. I stowed the note and faced her.
"Hi mom." I said casually. Her eyes narrowed in suspicion.
"Are you hiding something?" She asked.
"No…" I said slowly. Thankfully, her cell rang. She answered it.
"Hello? Oh hi sweetie… um, ok, I have a meeting to attend after school today, but I'll send the kids ok? Alright… love you too, bye!" She snapped her phone shut.
"Barret honey, on the way home, please pick up one of those aloe plants for your father at the plant shop." She said, handing me the money. She understood the concept of teen embarrassment, and didn't kiss or hug me or anything in school. Now this school meeting, I know it would raise Azure's suspicion, even though it was on the school mom's big calendar on her desk in class…
