A/N: (Wohoo! 5,953 words!) hello again, people of Fan Fiction!

OMG! 6 more reviews! That jackpots the total up to 20! I love you guys :P

Sorry about the last chapter, I know it was small, but it is highly necessary! But don't worry, I will always make the chapters as long as I can without it being boring. For the most part in this chappie, we will be learning about Ari and some of her little secrets ;)

Special shoutout to all who reviewed, including Envious sky, Haikairi, seeker of the skies, Frost Metal 0-1, thewhitespirit and That One Reviewee, one of which was anonymous (you know who you are!) ;)

And to all the silent readers – can you at least PM me so I know you're reading? That would help ease my fear of not being loved.

This is a long author's note, isn't it?

Disclaimer: if I owned FF, I would be Fang (or Vanille, it depends if I've had coffee – coffee, drink of the Gods! Or Goddess, whatever fits) ;)

On with the story:

Ari lay on her bed in her makeshift home above Lebreau's, exhausted. She'd forgotten just how tiring school could be. When she was younger, she'd had to go to plenty of schools, but not for the classes. Usually it was to watch out for people who were 'of interest' to her Boss.

Some things never change it seems, she thought as she played through the conversation she'd had with her sister on Monday for the sixty-seventh time – not that she was counting, of course.

…

Ari tapped her foot to the rhythm of her stress and anxiety as she dialled the number she wanted, stumbling over the individual digits. Come on, come on, pick up, she thought as she finally punched in the correct number and listened impatiently to the brief dial tone.

"Hello?"

"It's me," Ari stated grimly.

"Ooh, good, I was looking for something to take my mind off of the shit that's been going on recently. Where are you, where do you wanna meet and who am I stalking now?" Ari rolled her eyes; this is exactly the response she'd expected.

"Yeah, it's nothing like that this time. Travis and I, we've got our hands full with an assignment, and I'm afraid to say we need backup."

"Finally! Ok, give me all the details, and don't spare a single one, you hear me?"

"Sure, sure," Ari replied, and then proceeded to give her sister the rundown of recent events. When she finally finished, her little sis was silent as all hell, which was rare. Usually, she was bombarded with question after question from her. Ari voiced this concern after about five minutes of uncharacteristic silence.

"You ok? You seem pretty damn silent; would've thought you'd have been bombarding me with questions by now."

"You don't really know what I look like now, do you?" The question was both completely random and confusing for Ari, who simply stated, "No, why ask?"

"Don't ask any questions; just meet me at the park across the street from yours Friday, at around 4:00? I'll explain then." Click.

Ari laid her back against the wall, feeling much older than she actually was.

…

Ari smiled. That was her little sis, confusing and random at best. If it wasn't for her, she'd have gone completely insane when she lost her family. She was the one she kept fighting for, and it helped to take her mind off of the grief as the years went by. Then, when she was ten, and her sis was only five, they were taken in by the Boss and that freaky little seeress of his. No offense to her, but she was creepy as, when they first met.

…

Ari clutched her little sister close to her as they followed the buff soldier to…somewhere. Where were they? Where were they going?

"I'm scared," the petite little girl next to her mumbled almost silently, so only Ari could hear. She leaned down to kiss the top of her head, and mumbled soothing words to her in Japanese, which always calmed them both down.

"Wait here," the soldier ordered the two girls, "you'll be called in shortly."

As he disappeared through the nearby door the two girls looked at each other, panic written over both of their faces now. Called in? By who? For what?

"I don't like this," Ari stated, trying to stay calm. "I don't like this at all…"

"It's ok," the little girl next to her said positively, and just like that, the roles of both girls were reversed. Now Ari was the one in need of comfort, and the little girl was there to give it to her.

"Thanks, Lenah," Ari responded, both to her sister's attempt at comfort and the words themselves.

"Anytime," Lenah said, grabbing her big sister close in a hug.

"Ok girlies, time to go," another soldier ordered, seemingly appearing out of nowhere, then turned on his heel and walked through the door, clearly expecting them to follow. He was right in thinking that, because, really, where else could they go? The two girls looked at each other, nodded, and followed, strong in their resolve. They had to be.

The soldier took them through several doors before finally coming to a halt in front of a huge steel door. The soldier showed his ID to a hidden camera, and the door slowly rolled upward, proof that it was automated. They walked through into a dark, sterile room, bare of anything except two human-sized shadows in front of them. One of them stepped forward, a man in purple armour and lavender-coloured hair with black and purple beads and a purple feather. He also had a huge black and deep-purple sword on his back. His appearance alone made it clear he wasn't one to be messed with. His eyes were dark, so dark – you could get lost in those eyes. Ari looked into those eyes, challenging him, keeping Lenah tucked into her side, shielding her. He smiled at Lenah, and beckoned to her. Ari glared.

"No," she almost shouted. "You want her; you have to go through me!"

The man chuckled. "Silly girl. I would not hurt her or you, for that matter. Why would I? You are children, and it is a terrible crime to hurt a child."

His voice was persuasive, almost hypnotic. He certainly had Lenah under his spell. He beckoned to her again and this time she came, stepping out of her sister's reach and forward, until she was right in front of him. He brought his hand to her cheek, and one finger found its way to her chin, tilting her face up so he could examine her. He nodded to himself and let her go, and she backed up until she was beside Ari again.

"Yeul, come forward." He waved his hand forward, and a girl stepped beside him. That was the other shadow Ari had noticed before. This girl was – there was no other word for it – enchanting. She wore a white dress, mixed with deep orange and red. She had multi-coloured beads around her neck and a gold and silver headdress adorning her deep blue hair. It was the colour that, in the right light, would become deep silver. She had intense emerald-green eyes, eyes that could look right through you. She touched her headdress, and the headdress turned into a sort of headband, putting her hair up and lowering a silver see-through veil around her face.

"What do you sense of them?" the man asked of her.

Yeul looked them up and down, and then stepped forward until she was in front of Ari. She touched her hair, examined her eyes, touched the back of her neck, and then moved on to Lenah. Then she started touching her hair, examining her eyes, then leaned down and touched the back of her calf. She stepped back so she was beside the man.

"They are of natural power, but I sense something holding it back. That one," she pointed to Ari, who flinched involuntarily, "her name is Arianna, and her mark would appear on the back of her neck. The other one," she pointed to Lenah, "her name is Lenah, and her mark would appear on the back of her calf." Her voice was calm, almost monotone. "They could be of use to you, Caius."

Caius chucked. "Very well, then. I trust they have no family, otherwise they would not be here."

"Their parents died when Arianna was seven, and Lenah was two," Yeul replied. "Assassination."

"What? How could you know that? You know nothing about my family!" Ari yelled at the top of her lungs.

"Be calm, child. Yeul is a seeress; as such she knows everything about you. But this gift comes with a price. Each vision she has about the future kills a part of her. Eventually she will die, and then be reborn into this world. I have never left her side since she was first bestowed with such a gift, as I am the guardian of her soul. I have known thousands of Yeuls, and loved each and every one of them like a sister."

"You expect me to believe that you are immortal?" Ari questioned, sceptical.

"The heart of Etro beats in my chest. Kill me, and the Goddess dies with me. As such, I am quite difficult to kill." He smiled. "Try to hit me."

Ari ran forward to where he was and took a swipe at him. He burst into mist, and when she turned around, he was right next to her sister. She did not like the way Lenah was looking at Caius. She wasn't scared of him, she was looking up at him with wonder and awe upon her face. This only served to fuel her fury: fury over the way she looked at him, grief over the shock of her parents' death, sadness that she would never see her mother or father again, and anger over the fact that her little sister will never remember them. She whirled around and charged again, but it was futile as he turned into mist once again. He was playing with her now. He reappeared behind her, trapping her hands in his, and spun her around to face him. His eyes burned into her.

"I like you. You will train under me," he stated calmly, as if they were talking about taking a walk or about the weather. He looked over to Lenah. "You both will train under me."

He turned back to Ari. "What weapon would you like to wield?"

Ari's eyes widened. He couldn't be serious. He couldn't possibly be serious, but his eyes said differently. Oh, no. He was dead serious. Just like that, all her anger evaporated, leaving her feeling weakened.

"K-katana," she managed to say.

"Excellent! And how about your sister? What weapon will she wield?"

"My name's Lenah and I would like a bow and arrow," Lenah stated coolly.

"Lovely! You will both stay here with us and train under me, since you have nowhere else to go. Right?" He finally let go of Ari's hands and stepped back into the shadows. "Your guards will show you to your room."

It didn't go unnoticed by Ari how Lenah was staring in his direction before 'their' guards came to take them.

…

Even now, Ari could still see the look of adoration in Lenah's face, not just when they first met the man and his seeress, but on their scheduled trainings. She sighed, letting yet another memory flood her.

…

Ari stood in the middle of the huge field Caius had picked out for them to train in. There were targets everywhere, and she gripped her new katana tightly.

In the past few weeks she'd learned to trust Caius to a point – she'd stopped checking their food for poison, at least – but she was still suspicious of him and her little sister. Lenah seemed to be a little too fond of him. Ari shook her head. She was here to practise with her sister, not stand around – she'd be an easy target.

Lenah had learned how to use the bow and arrow quite well since they'd started training under Caius, and sometimes even the seeress would come to watch them practise. Likewise Ari had learned a lot about her new friend currently gripped in her slightly sweaty hand. Caius had taught them to feel the vibrations of an attack under their feet, to feel the wind shift as an attacker came too close, to let their ears pick up the tiniest of sounds that could suggest a pre-emptive strike, and to train their eyes to the tiniest movements that could suggest an impending ambush. These tips were quite effective to Ari – especially as she heard the slight whistling of an arrow cutting through the wind in her direction. She rolled to the side just in time, and she felt the arrow brush just past her head and heard it sink into the ground. She smiled – Lenah's aim had certainly improved.

Lenah quickly nocked another arrow from her perch in a particularly tall tree at the edge of the clearing, and let it fly with the usual twang. It flew fast; Ari would not be able to dodge this time. At the last minute, the arrow changed direction and sank into the ground along with the first. Lenah smiled. Caius had come to join them.

She nimbly jumped down from branch to branch, finally landing softly as a cat at the tree's base. She looked up from her crouch to find Caius crouching in front of her. She smiled softly, and he smiled back.

"You are learning quickly," he breathed, and his smile grew bigger. Her smile widened in response, and she could feel her face heat up. She dropped her gaze as Ari walked over to them, eyes narrowed in slight suspicion. She had always been suspicious of Caius – first dinner he gave them, she'd checked it over for any trace of poison. Though she'd stopped now, she was still wary of him – and of his motives. She knew that Lenah was currently nursing a crush for him, and he seemed especially fond of her in turn.

"You are both learning quickly," Caius said, a little louder than before, as Ari arrived and stood closely beside her younger sister. "I think it is time for Arianna to test her skills – in the real world."

"A real assignment?" Ari exclaimed in delight – the first sign of happiness Lenah had seen from her sister in a long time. Since before she could remember, Ari had been cold, distant – except when she made her laugh, and then she would smile but it would never reach her eyes. But now, Lenah could see a fanatic, almost crazy gleam in her eyes, and it made her worry a bit. She pushed that thought aside. She did not want to ruin the moment.

Meanwhile, Ari was ecstatic. A real mission! In the back of her mind, she was going through certain scenarios – what if she didn't make it home? – But she pushed the thought out of her mind. For now, she wouldn't worry. She had other things on her mind…more pressing things, to her. Like what Caius's motives were, cozing up to her sister. Despite everything he had done for her – given her food, water, shelter, saving her from Lenah's arrow – she still didn't fully trust him, and she didn't know if she ever will…especially with her sister.

…

Ari smiled to herself. She was very overprotective of her sister back then, far more than she needed to be. She knew Caius better now, she knew he would never take advantage of her sister – it wasn't in his nature to do so. She never had to worry too much about her sister, though she did anyway.

She looked at her bedside clock. The little red digital numbers read 3:30. She could go at 3:50; she was right there anyway. She looked through the curtains at her window, and saw Rainah sitting on the now-vacant swings, looking up at Lebreau's, seemingly waiting for someone.

What is she doing there? Is she waiting for Serah and Vanille? Then a realisation hit her.

Is she waiting for me?

Rainah sat on one of the vacant swings in the park across form Lebreau's, just staring. She could see a girl staring down at the park from above Lebreau's, and their eyes met. Rainah could see her sister in that stare. Was it her?

Just like that, she disappeared. One second she was there, and the next she wasn't. Rainah was puzzled, but she didn't move. She didn't know how much time had passed, so she checked her phone. The time read 3:45. She'd be here soon, she was sure of it.

Rainah was bored, so she started swinging. The wind, first on her face, then on her back, helped soothe her, but she still wanted her sister here. She wanted to hear her voice, whispering soothing things to her in Japanese. At heart, she was still seven years old and needing comfort from her One-Chan*.

She checked the time again. The phone read 3:50pm, and from her position, she could see someone coming out of Lebreau's.

Someone with seafoam-coloured hair.

Rainah's eyes lit up. It was her One-Chan! She immediately jumped off the swing and ran towards Ari. She stopped just in front of her, uncertain. Does she know it was her? Or was she still clueless? One way to find out.

"Onee-Chan?" she managed to stutter out, brown eyes widening.

"Is that you, Lenah?" Ari asked, confused. Rainah – or Lenah – nodded in response.

"Yeah. Sorry about not telling you about this," she gestured to herself, "but I was sent to look for the kids that were gonna get their Marks, and to look after you."

Ari smiled. Yup, this was definitely her sister. She opened her arms, and Lenah jumped into them, beaming.

"There's no need to look after me," Ari whispered in her ear. "You know perfectly well I can look after myself. If anything, I should be the one looking after you."

"Not a chance." Lenah crossed her arms, looking all-too-serious now.

"Split it?" Ari proposed. Lenah's smile came back, and she nodded. "Deal."

As Lenah leaned away, Ari noticed something off about her sister's appearance. "What's with the eyes? They're hazel."

Her younger sister giggled. "Contacts. If you look real close, they're brown, but hints of my green eyes show."

Ari rolled her eyes. It was smart, but she wasn't going to let her sister know that. "Where are you staying?"

"Got my own place in a street not far from here," Lenah said, enlightening her.

For some reason, Ari felt a little awkward saying, "I've got room…do you want to…I don't know…stay with me from time to time?"

Sensing her sister's discomfort, Lenah fought the urge to laugh. "Sure, I'd like that. Can I have my own drawer?"

"Sure."

"Can I see where you live?"

Ari fake-grimaced, biting her lip as she fought not to laugh. "That sounded really weird the way you said that, but yeah, sure."

Lenah smirked. "You're not the only one who's insane."

Ari rolled her eyes. "I'd noticed."

It wasn't too long a walk to Lenah's, but they did stop at the new ice-cream store next to it, even though it wasn't that warm. They just wanted to catch up; it had been a while since they'd seen each other, let alone spent time together for leisure. They made small talk – Ari asked Lenah how she'd been going with her target practice, and Lenah in turn asked her how she'd been going with her katana, making sure no-one was around before she did so. Although the quality of what was sold here was excellent, and everyone knew each other, most people seemed to go somewhere else for their groceries, food, etcetera, so it was easier to talk about stuff you'd rather no-one else heard. For the people who worked at the shops it was hell, but for Lenah and Ari it was both easy to take advantage of and convenient for their situation. One downside was that the park seemed to be quite popular for the kids, as was the ice cream store they were currently sitting outside of.

Once they had finished their respective bowls of ice cream, they made their way over to Lenah's place to pack some clothes to fill up her drawer at her sister's place. Of course, they had to be mobile so they always packed light – they never knew when or where their next assignment would take them – they kept the majority of their clothes at the only permanent home they had: with Caius and Yeul.

As they were about to leave, Lenah said, "Stay here, I need to do something," and ran to her room, leaving Ari a little confused. Her room was dark blue in colour and pretty bare, consisting of only a bed, chest of drawers and bathroom, and was cleaner than it should be. Once she'd shut the door, Lenah immediately began to rummage through her chest of drawers. "Aha!" she breathed to herself once she'd found what she wanted – a small white box, which she opened to reveal coloured contacts. There were the usual colours – blue, hazel, brown, grey and although green wasn't needed, she had it anyway – but there were all sorts of other colours as well, like red, gold, black, etcetera, and there were different shades of each colour. They were even sorted by colour, and by shade of colour, which made it easier for her to take out her brown contacts and replace them with blue, and mixed with her natural eye colour, gave her a seafoam-green colour. She pocketed the box, grabbed her bag of hair-dye and made her way back through the house to her sister, who gave her a look.

"Hey, gotta be prepared, right?" Ari smiled at the phrase. It had always been used between them, and it had stuck. "Don't tell me you don't have contacts, extensions and dyes?"

So that had been what she was getting, Ari thought. "So what if I do? But I don't have that many-"

"Yet," Lenah interrupted as a smile appeared upon her face.

Ari decided to give up. It wasn't wise to argue the point with her sister. She was too much like her father, hard-headed and stubborn. She may as well have been born in the year of the bull, but she hadn't. She was born in the year of the snake! Completely different years, though she was slippery like a snake. She smiled at the thought, and followed Lenah out the door into the crisp afternoon air, shutting the door behind her.

"You gonna lock the door?" she asked. Lenah shrugged.

"Automatically locks itself. I installed it myself."

"You got the keys then?"

"I'm not silly; of course I have the keys!" Lenah replied indignantly.

"Then show me the keys." Lenah sighed, then grabbed the keys from her pocket and showed them to Ari.

"There are the keys. Happy now?"

"Supremely." Lenah rolled her eyes and started walking. Smirking, Ari fell into step beside her. She loved annoying her sister in relaxed situations. And the best part was that she bit again and again. She got that from her father. He used to love annoying the both of them, Ari the most. As a result, she loved annoying other people in turn, just to see their reaction. By far the most entertaining reaction she got daily was from her classmate, Courtney Gordon. She squealed when she was tickled or when she got mud on her, or when she was pushed. She was also scared of the animals on the school's Agriculture farm. Why she took Agriculture as an elective was beyond her, and her answer to that question didn't help in the slightest. When she asked, Courtney simply said, "The animals are cute." Cute. She will never understand girly-girls.

An annoyance to her was one of the girls in her International Studies class. She didn't know her name, but she was really dumb as far as she was concerned. Example, on Wednesday, there was ten minutes of the class left, and the teacher asks them to participate in a little game, which was to name six people they would like to go to dinner with. They could be from any time period. As an example, the teacher, Mr Manning, says Leonardo Davinci. The girl puts up her hand and says, "It's not Leonardo Davinci, its Leonardo Dicaprio," in a really superior voice, like she knew she was right and the teacher was just dumb. Everyone turned around to stare at the girl, then burst out laughing. As a result, Mr Manning set them homework, which was to write an essay on the differences between an artist and an actor. Ari was surprised how dumb some people could be.

She was roused from her thoughts by Lenah's elbow, signalling they were at Lebreau's already. Time passes fast around here. This time Ari took the lead, walking through the front door then heading up the stairs that were to the right of the bar. Her room was the last one on the left. Opening the door, she headed straight over to the bed and pretty much fell onto it, only then realising how exhausted she was. She opened one eye to look at the clock, which read 5:00. Already? her bleary mind asked numbly.

"Where am I sleeping?" Lenah asked.

"Wherever the heck you want," Ari replied, already half-asleep. Today really took it out of her. Her back ached horribly every time she tried to relax it from the books she'd had to carry in her bag all week and to top it off, her head was throbbing painfully. She felt the side of her bed drop down slightly under her sister's weight as she snuggled up against her Onee-Chan's warmth. Ari smiled slightly before sweet, dreamless darkness took her into its warm embrace, dragging her downwards.

When Lenah woke up, it was still dark and her stomach was rumbling. She checked the bedside clock, which read 4:50. Only five in the morning! Usually she was asleep at this time! She shook her head, and her stomach rumbled again. She stretched, replaced her brown contacts and walked out the door into the hallway. She stopped, trying to picture which way the stairs were. Spotting some dim light to her right, she started walking towards it, almost tripping down the stairs. Once she managed to get down the stairs without tripping, she was surprised to find that the woman who owned the bar and restaurant, Lebreau, was already up and preparing for opening at six.

"Hey there," Lebreau smiled. "You must be Arianna's sister, huh? She works here, you know." After hearing Lenah's stomach rumble yet again, she laughed. "You hungry?"

"God yes," Lenah replied.

"Good. Just sit down wherever, and I'll get you some pancakes. On the house," Lebreau offered, winking before going back to polishing her glass behind the bar. Once she was done, she walked round the back where the kitchens were, and whipped up some batter to put in one of the frying pans on the bench near her. When the pan was hot enough she poured the batter into two individual puddles in the pan. When enough time had passed she flipped them, leaving the browned side up to face the ceiling. When the pancakes were cooked she flipped them onto a white plate, drizzled maple syrup over them, grabbed a knife and fork and brought them out to Lenah, who was sitting on one of the stools at the bar. She set the plate in front of her, and Lenah's eyes lit up at the beautiful sight in front of her. Two pancakes, topped with maple syrup, sat in front of her, begging to be eaten. She immediately dug in like she hadn't been fed in weeks.

"So what's your name, anyway?" Lebreau asked her as she continued wolfing down her rapidly disappearing pancakes.

"L-er, Rainah," Lenah replied, almost slipping and saying her real name.

"Loraine?" Lebreau questioned, confused. "Is that what you said?"

"N-no, my name is Rainah," Lenah stuttered, nervous.

"Rainah," Lebreau repeated, the name rolling foreignly on her tongue. "Nice name."

"Thanks," Lenah replied, calmer now that the name conversation was over. Feeling a little better, she went back to her pancakes. As she was polishing them off, Ari came down the stairs, bleary eyes scanning the scene before her: Lenah sitting at the bar, wolfing down food, with Lebreau watching over, ready to take the plate.

"Morning," Ari mumbled, still half-asleep. She felt like she'd left her brain back in her warm comfy bed.

"Morning," Lebreau and Lenah said together. "Are you hungry?" Lebreau asked Ari as she came over to sit down by Lenah.

"Yeah. What's on the menu this morning?"

"Let's see; omelette, toast, cereal or pancakes," Lebreau rounded off, taking Lenah's clean plate and turning to take it to the kitchens.

"Just toast, thanks," Ari yelled after her. She turned to Lenah and asked, "How'd you sleep?"

"Good, actually," Lenah replied, "better than I expected, to be honest."

Ari smiled at her little sister's response. "Good. I'm gonna go see what Lebreau wants me to do." She then walked back behind the bar where the door to the kitchens was located. She pushed through to find Lebreau, who was leaning against one of the benches.

"Anything you want me to do?" Ari asked. Lebreau smiled.

"Yeah, there is. Put on your uniform before we open, you do work here. Oh, and Rosalie should be here soon. You two will be sharing shifts today." Lebreau announced, still smiling.

Ari nodded. "Will do. What can L-Rainah do while she's here?" She hoped to God that Lebreau didn't notice the near stuff-up.

"I think we need more volunteers. Is she willing to work?" She either didn't notice the stutter, or she was ignoring it.

"I think so," Ari replied, somewhat relieved.

"Good, she can do some volunteer waitressing for me."

"I'll go get her," Ari said, backing out of the kitchens. Once out, she turned to Lenah, who was now playing with a straw.

"L-Rainah, you wanna work as a waitress today?" Ari said, just in case Lebreau was in hearing range. Sometimes, she had the ears of an elephant.

Lenah smirked, quickly catching on. "Sure thing. Where's my uniform?"

Ari pointed over to the kitchen door. "Lebreau's sure to have some spares, why don't you ask her?"

"Will do," Lenah replied, getting up and walking straight through the door to the kitchens, where Lebreau was busy cleaning for when the crew got there.

"Hey Lebreau, where can-"

"I heard you. There are some spares in the linen cupboard upstairs, first door on the left."

Lenah nodded and backed out of the room to get her uniform. She had waitressed before, back when she was fifteen, which wasn't too long ago. She had to get a job and pay the rent somehow, and she had no job. But her friend worked for a bar down the road from hers and managed to get her one. She had a feeling she still owed that girl for that, but what can you do when your real line of work had you moving everywhere with pretty much no warning?

Lenah let her thoughts circle as she walked up the stairs and to the first door she saw on the left. She opened it and saw a linen cupboard that looked smaller than it was, with a whole rack devoted to waitress uniforms. Ari for sure would have known about this. She didn't even know which one was her size, and several of them seemed to have what looked like vomit stains. There was another one that seemed to have another, totally different type of stain on it, so she avoided that one altogether. She finally found one right at the back that looked like it was clean and would fit her rather petite form. She retreated into Ari's room to change into the pale blue uniform, and found it looked rather good on her.

Maybe it wouldn't be such a bad day after all.

A/N: Thank you all for reading my delightful little story!

As usual, I am asking you to review or PM me. But as I'm sure neither is gonna happen anytime soon, I will settle for the hit count. Thanks again for reading!

BTW, Onee-Chan is Japanese for older sister.
