Reminiscence and Infiltration
A/N: ...I'm a lazy writer. :( And an awful speller, for what it's worth. But that won't stop me! Hey, anyone here know DerBlaueWolf? My Onee-san tried out for his animated series, so wish her luck, kay?
DISCLAIMER:
I own only my words. Various companies own Vocaloid, various people own OCs, and various Nami Uchiha 1313s own Yonil's flashback. Onwards!
RYU KYUN'S POV (1st)
"Ok, this is a one man operation, an-" before I could even finish my sentence, everyone shouted, "ONE TWO THREE NOT IT!" leaving me the one to carry out this mission. Fine, that was my plan anyways. "As I was saying, this is a one man operation, an-" I managed to say before getting cut off by Yonil. Gods, can I finish a blessed SENTENCE around here? "It's dangerous out there alone. I would know, that's how I lost my twin brother. After we both worked so hard to escape slavery, too..." she trailed off. The light from the fireplace flickered, lending a sad air and eerie shadows to the family portrait above it. The little boy in it almost seemed to be frowning melancholically. "What happened?" Mika asked, breaking my train of thought. "It was a little while back, my brother came up to talk to me one day..." Yonil replied, slipping into her memories.
"Yonil I'm thinking of getting out of the house." Yono stated.
"Then go. Just be careful when going to the village." Yonil replied.
"No sis, I want to go and see the world."
Yonil froze in place behind the counter then she relaxed herself but didn't turn to face her brother. "... Why would you want to do that?" Yonil said, a hint of anger in her voice, "Yono, the world is a dangerous place." The girl turned around to face her twin, "I don't want to see you hurt or worse!"
"But-"
"No!" Yonil interrupted, "Don't you even remember what happened to our parents? I can't carry that burden Yono! Just stay home so I can protect you!"
"BUT I DON'T WANT TO STAY PROTECTED BY YOU!" Yono yelled back, putting a shocked expression on Yonil's face. "BAKA ONEE-CHAN!" The boy yelled then ran away with small tears forming in his eyes.
Later that night, Yono hadn't come out of his room for dinner. Yonil sat outside the door with a plate of food. "Yono, come out and eat!" She announced.
"I'm not hungry." Came the harsh reply.
Yonil sighed as she put the plate on the hallway floor and leaned against the door.
An awkward silence passed before Yonil spoke again, "You know I care about you, right Yono?"
No answer. Yonil continued, "And you know I'll always love you and protect you no matter what, right?"
"Umn." Yono mumbled in agreement.
"But, I guess, if you love something so much, you have to let it go."
Yono fumbled from the ground to the door opening it, "You really mean it?" The teen exclaimed happily.
Yonil hesitated but looked deep into her brother's deep brown eyes and saw the answer, "Yes."
"And since then, I regretted that decision..." Yonil said sorrowfully, "Exactly two years later on the same day my parents died, I got word that Yono had been killed as well, by bandits." Mika wiped a few tears from her eyes. "B-but Ryu is only going to the castle, that's not dangerous, right?" she asked desperately. Yonil shook her head. "That castle is even more dangerous than the outside world, especially its queen. That's why I'm begging you, Ryu. Please, don't go alone!" Were those tears I saw in her eyes? I had never seen Yonil like this, usually she was so... strong. "Alright, Yonil. I'll take Seiji and Kenji along. The three of us combined should be ok." I said, to much whining from said teammates. Well, tough luck for them. We were going to kidnap a princess, her goddamn pervert snake, and her assassins, and nothing will stop us!
"Well. That didn't end well." Seiji said. "Understatement of the century, bro." Kenji groaned. We were currently all dangling by our wrists from chains in Aiko's dungeon. I groaned. "This is horrible!" I shouted! "Well, it could be worse." a snarky female voice replied. "You could have failed your mission, let down your friends, and be trapped in your worst enemy's dungeon. Oh wait! I guess it can't get any worse for you, can it?" Aiko Kiyoshi stood laughing before us.
KARUNE MIKA'S POV (1st)
"I'm worried about the guys, it shouldn't be taking this long..." I muttered. "Worried about your boyfriend?" Minka teased. "Yeah! Scared he'll be hurt, and you'll have to tend to his every need?" Sato added. I whacked both of them in the backs of their heads. "Shut up! Your teasing is the last thing we need." I grumbled. "She's right, you know. Sato, Minka, now is not the time for teasing. We're all on edge." Yonil said sternly, in the voice she used when the inn children misbehaved. Kono slammed her fists on the ground. "Dammit! Our friends might be in trouble, and all we can do is sit here on our asses, arguing! I don't know about the rest of you pansies, but I'm going to the castle! WHO'S WITH ME?" she shouted, and stuck her hand in the middle of the circle. Hana put her hand on top of Kono's. "Me." she said. Hikari added her hand as well. "Can't just leave the three stooges to fend for themselves now, can we?" she said with a grin. I smiled and added my small hand to the pile. One by one, everyone piled on their hands. Kono smirked. "Then LET'S DO THIS THING!" she shouted to a chorus of cheers. In a few minutes, we all made our way to the castle.
A/N: Yays, plot progression! Anyone doing anything fun for April vacation?
