Chapter 2
Sahera sat against a tree with her sister sitting next to her watching her play with the choker that held her sword. " Ria, if you don't stop fidgeting then I am going to be forced to tell your captain about your huge, enormous crush on him." Sahera smiled wickedly as her sister turned to look at her, her face a mask of shock.
"You wouldn't," Ria shrieked as she leapt at her sister, her hand curling into claws to attack her sister in the place where she was the most ticklish, her stomach.
"Stop, stop," Era gasped between uncontrollable laughter. "I won't say a word just stop tickling me."
Finally, Ria did stop tickling her twin, but not before she had wrestled out of her a solemn vow that she would take her sister's secret to her second grave. "Anyway what took you so long to come out of your house. I mean I was waiting for you for a full thirty minute. Come on," Era said poking Ria in the side with her elbow. "What happened?"
"Ummm. . . Let's just put it this way sis. Canumichi was causing me trouble again by means of thinking that I was being lazy and not doing my chore, which yesterday had been to clean the privies. Thank Kami that my perv. of a Lieutenant showed up when she did other wise I would have had to challenge the blond witch to the circle."
Sahera's golden eyes with cat like pupils did not even widening when she heard this because Canumichi had been bothering her sister ever since Hitsuguya Torshrio had taken her into his squad when she left the training academy.
"I see you are not surprised by this sister,"Ria said her silver eyes bright with remembered anger. The only answer Era made to this comment was a nod of her head her face going pensive as she played with one of the miniature swords she wore as jewelry. Suddenly, Bakuya or Captain Kuchiki walked by their tree his face sorrowful. The two girls found it rather odd that he was even up and about right now because he had been wounded in the battle that day before.
"I wonder how Rukia and Rengi are doing now because of what happened yesterday. They seemed rather... well not put together I would say," Era said. "By the way sis how is your captain?"
"I have no clue, no one has been allowed to see him since he was injured except for Luteninate Rongiku."
Era thought that her sister sounded sad because her voice sounded sad because her voice sounded resigned. She had even called her Luteninate a Luteninate not a prev. Era suspected her sister of being down, but not down enough to her respectful about her Luteninate. "Alright, what is the problem I mean you never call Rongiku by her name usually it is prev or jerk. What the hell is wrong really, because I want to know why the sudden change of heart. Has a hollow replaced you? Where's the ward necklace that I made for you," Era questioned ruthlessly. She had to know whether or not her sister was okay. It was probably just her worry about her captain creeping into her voice, but being nice about her Luninate that was when something was seriously wrong. 'Well looks like I'm going to have to talk to Rengi, he'll know what to do. And besides I need someone to tell me what is up with Bakua,' Era thought to herself.
