Chapter 4
"Do you like this room, Sen?" Chihiro looked around. The walls were painted a violet hue. On one side was a cute wooden bed with drawers on the bottom. On the other side of the room, was a desk that already had art supplies.
"This room is really cute Lin. I like it." "It's good to hear that Sen." Chihiro walked to her bed a placed her backpack down. "It looks like something's bothering you though. Are you okay?" Chihiro didn't know what to say. Could she tell Lin what she saw? If she did, Chihiro would have to explain everything to her. And if she told Lin that she's been living alone for a long time, it would make things worse than it already is.
Out of no where, the doorbell rang. "Hey Haku! Go get the door!" 'Damn. And here I was going to break-up with Shiling.' Who could be at the door? Everyone was there. Lin, Ray(her boyfriend), Chihiro, and Haku. He slowly opened the door. There was a boy his age, holding a girl in his arms. "Who are you and what do you want?" Haku noticed that they both had bandages covering their eyes.
"Please let us in. We just escaped a battle from the Northern Plains. We have no where to go, and my friend's injured." 'I know that voice from somewhere. Who could they be?' Haku stood up straight. "I'll call the landlady. LIN!!!" Haku knew that he would pay for that later. "What is it this time?" Lin ran down the stairs out of rage. "What did you call me down for?" "There's someone here, asking if they could stay here for the time being." Lin looked at them suspiciously. "Who are you?"
"I'll tell you if you let us in." The boy seemed confident that Lin would let them in. "Since your friend is injured, I'll let you in." Haku heard someone coming down the stairs. "What's going on you guys?" Chihiro noticed the strangers. "Who are they Haku?" Chihiro looked a little confused. "We'll find out now." He answered. They all sat down in the living room. The girl suddenly woke up, and asked "Where are we?" "Don't worry, you're safe here." Said Lin gently. "Now if you don't mind, please tell us about yourselves."
"Well, we come from a far away land. After an unknown force destroyed the kingdom we lived in, we thought that we were the only ones who survived. But 5 years ago, we found out that the prince of our kingdom was still alive. We've been searching for him ever since. But, all the spirits here are on to us. You see, our kingdom was one of the most powerful, so everyone started to look for any of the survivors." The boy paused for a bit, then continued. "For the past 5 years, we had to cover our eyes. It was important that my friend here had her eyes covered, for she is the princess. All of the royals of our kingdom have had the same eyes for 1,000 years. If anyone saw her, it would attract a lot of attention." The boy sat back, for his story was finished.
"If she's royalty, then what are you?" Haku asked. "I'm her guard. I'm supposed to protect her when she needs my help." The boy answered. "Can we see your whole face?" Lin asked politely. The boy slowly started to unwrap the bandage. The girl did the same. 'I know I've seen them before. But from where?' The girl finished taking off her bandages first. Everyone was shocked to see her eyes. Her eyes were piercing green. "My name is Kisango, from the Shirayuki Kingdom. Remember me Kohaku? I'm your younger twin sister."
