The Kuran Twins
Chapter 2
Reiko Pov
Six years. So much time has passed but it felt like it was not enough. I have never been this happy.
Kaname is an important part of my life, I mean I love my parents but me and Kaname are always together. We don't like to be separated and do everything together.
I can finally do things that I couldn't before, for example I love to paint and because I never had the liberty to do it so I'm not very good at it but I have fun. Kaname sometimes makes fun of me but he always ends up helping me. I don't know how he does it but I feel like he's good at everything (the good thing is that he doesn't brag). But I don't mind, he's my brother and he's always helping me out.
Just like now I'm drawing on the table, the crayons are scattered all over it.
Kaname is sitting next to me watching me work. "You're pressuring me Kana-chan." I wined at him.
He merely chuckled and said "I enjoy watching you paint, you are so focused with your eyebrows furrowed and your tongue is out. It's cute. "
At his words I pouted and looked at him. "Well I'm not the only one that can be cute, I think that you have your cute moments too Kana-chan~~~" I said with a sly smile and eyes that held mischief.
At my words Kaname's cheeks turned slightly pink with embarrassment. It only made my smirk wider, I love making him blush.
Who knew I could have that effect on him, of the few episodes I watched I never saw him being anything but composed. I guess that he couldn't show weakness but now it's going to be different. As long as he is with me, where no one can see, he can be himself. I want to be the only one allowed to see his vulnerable side. I want to protect him like he already does to me. Because I know that, in the future, he is going to be stronger than me, even if I am a pureblood, he is still an ancestor.
So while he protects me physically, I will do the same to him, only I will be protecting his emotions. This is a promise I will make and I have every intention to keep it.
"I… I do not!" My twin tried to deny my words, it only made me happier. I let out a small laugh at Kaname's words to try and deny what I said.
"Mou, Rei-chan, you always do things to embarrass me" Kaname said with a pout on his lips, even if he tried to deny it, it was definitely a pout.
"Only because I love you, Kana-chan." And just like that with those words Kaname's face softens and his eyes so much love as he said to me "I love you too, Rei-chan".
Those words made me blush, I looked down to try and hide my embarrassment behind my long red-brown hair.
Kaname Pov
As soon as my words come out of my mouth her cheeks begun to redden in an adorable blush and in an attempt to hide it she looked down so that her hair was in front of her face. I smiled at her cuteness.
I reach my hand up and pushed her hair behind her ear making her look at my smiling face, and there it was, her smile. I love being the cause of it.
Our father, in the beginning, was giving us our lessons together but now we are separated. He explained it was so that we could get used to spending some time without the other. Truthfully, I didn't like the sound of it; I don't like the idea of Reiko not being by my side where I can see her, protect her…
3rdPerson Pov
The Kuran twins little moment was broken when their father, Haruka, entered the room. He smiled at his children and said "Hello, what are you two doing?"
Reiko looked at Haruka and said "Father, we were just painting." Haruka chuckled and said "Are you sure that it was just you that was painting and Kaname was the one looking?"
"Ahahah maybe…" laughs Reiko with the blush on her cheeks due to her father's teasing. At her response both father and son laughed.
"Well, I came here because I have something to tell you two." Haruka said once their laughs calmed down.
Kaname's face turned serious in seconds while Reiko was curious. Seeing that he had his children attention he started explaining what was going too happened.
"There's going to be an event organized by Nagamichi Aido, the Head of the Aido family as I'm sure you remember from our previous lessons. We, as Purebloods, were invited and this time we will bring you two with us to introduce you to the others aristocrats. We didn't want to bring you to this type of world so soon but it's something we can't avoid forever."
Reiko and Kaname's face turned from curious and serious to distasteful in a matter of seconds. The thought of being around those people, all they want is power and being a pureblood our blood is special, is not how they would want to spend the night.
Seeing the twin's identical reaction, something that bought a smile to his face, he started to say something that hopefully will improve their moods. "Now don't make that face, the children of the aristocrats will be there too so after the initial presentation you can go to the room where they will be staying for the rest of the party."
"Well I guess it's better than nothing" Reiko muttered.
Hearing Reiko's words Kaname looked at her for a second before turning to his father and asked "When is the event?"
Haruka looked at his son and answered "it's going to happen the day after tomorrow". At his father's words Kaname nodded his head before turning to his little sister. Haruka left them alone, exiting the room.
Kaname Pov
When I turned to look at Reiko I vaguely heard the sound of a door closing. She has a nervous expression on her face. I knew the reason. While around us, her family, she expresses her emotions freely to the others she gets nervous and the consequences of that is a change in personality. Her face is blank or has a small polite smile. I am exactly the same except I maintain the cold and polite persona for everybody only with Reiko I am capable of being myself. Even with our… parents I'm not fully comfortable of being myself.
Lately I've been having strange dreams, most of the times it's like I'm there as if I myself have lived it. Almost like… memories. And for the most part they are not happy dreams, only occasionally when a certain woman is in them. It makes me confused but I believe with time answers will come to me.
Right now my focus is on my sister, I have to reassure her that she will not be alone.
"Rei-chan, it's going to be okay, I will be by your side the whole night. I will not leave you alone with those vultures." My choice of words to describe the aristocrats bought a smile to her face witch made me proud of myself for the achievement.
But something was still bugging her since her smile didn't stay long on her face. "What's wrong Rei?" I asked.
She nervously played with her fingers and I gently grabbed them with my hand. She looked at me and finally answered "It's just… I don't like the adults but I can handle them if you are by my side but it's the other kids I'm worried about"
Ah! Now everything makes sense, I don't know how it didn't come to me before. We have never been with other children our own age. It was always adults. She just doesn't know how to behave in front of them.
"Don't worry you'll know what to do when we get there. And never forget that I'm there for you." I said in an attempt to make her feel better about going.
"I know. Thank you Kana-chan I don't know what I would do without you." She said with a smile on her face.
"You're welcome Rei-chan. I would do anything for you. I… love you." I said the last part with some hesitation afraid of what her answer would be. But she merely smiled and said "I love you too Kana-chan".
Those words made my heart warm and a genuine smile reserved only for her come to my face.
Thank you reading, hope you liked it.
As promised slowly but surely my chapters are getting longer.
If you have any requests about a scene between the twins while they are young I will be happy to write it.
Review and any suggestions or ideas that you have for the story are welcome.
