"What promise?" I asked
They just looked at me, "Nothing." Kenshin said.
I figured it was probably none of my business anyway, so I dropped it.
"I know this has probably already been said, but; what now?" Yasashiku asked.
"Well, I know of a good opening in a nearby wood were we can train." I said.
"Cool," Kenshin said, sounding excited, "lead the way, Roza."
I nodded my head and turned to my left while they followed close behind. The wood was only a few blocks away anyway, so there wasn't any need for awkward talking.
When we made it there, the twins looked amazed at all the space we had, which was about four kilometers of clear land.
"Whoa!" Yasashiku exclaimed, "How did you know this was even here?"
"I...wonder around a lot." I defended myself. This was actually were my old house was, in a wood. The years have taken away any trace of there ever being a house there, let alone one that was burnt down.
"So, let's see if we can dodge attacks from an enemy." I said, "Who wants to be the enemy?"
They stared at me, "What?" I asked.
"I think you should be the enemy, Roza." Yasashiku said.
"Um...why me?"
"Because you're probably the fastest."
"Well, I can't."
"Why?" Kenshin asked.
I tried to think of an excuse, I hate being the enemy. "I didn't eat any breakfast today."
"Well, that can be arranged," Yasashiku said, taking a cupcake out of his side pocket.
"Why do you carry that around with you?" I asked, awkwardly.
"I'm not really sure...just take it."
"Um..." I was very uncertain.
"What is it?"
"It just that...I can't have any sugar what so ever."
"Why?"
"I think its best if you don't know."
"Are you allergic?" Kenshin asked.
"No it's not that, it's just..."
"Come on, Roza. A little sugar isn't going to kill you." Yasashiku said, holding it closer to me.
I sighed and took it out of his hand, "You're going to regret it..." I took a bit and instantly an electrical charge went through me and my eyes went wide.
"Roza!" Yasashiku yelled, "You okay?"
"Maybe she was allergic." Kenshin said, "Roza?"
I just stood there looking strait ahead while my battery recharged.
It did, "WowthatcupcakewasgoodIcan'tbelieveIhaven'thadoneinsolong!" I said this very fast. (To know what she said see the bottom of the page where it says 1.)
"Um...what?" Yasashiku asked, a little worried.
"Let'sgettraining!" I said and I took out two kunai knives, "GGGOOOO!"
I don't think they needed telling twice, they ran off in separate directions.
Kenshin POV:
I had no clue what she was saying, but when she took out those kunai, I just ran off. 'Maybe it was a bad idea to give her sugar.' I thought, and I hoped my brother would now no that.
I had no clue where he was, but I only hoped he was nowhere near Roza right now. 'Let's see, how do we stop somebody with sugar rush?' I asked myself. 'There has to be some sort of cure or something. Come on! Think!' I pushed myself to think of a sugar rush cure, but came out nothing. But then I heard a twig break nearby and I stopped running to look around.
"Yasashiku?" I asked., hoping it was him.
"Nope!" and a kunai was flying right at me!
I dodged it right on time and ran in the other direction. 'Crap, I don't even know her weakness! But I have to find Yasashiku!'
At that very moment I heard his voice, "Kenshin?"
I stopped running and saw him emerge from a bush.
"Yasashiku!" I exclaimed, "Are you okay?"
"Yeah, I don't think she even knew where I was. How do we stop her?"
"I don't know." and I started to think again.
"Wait, she said this was only training, right?"
"Yeah..."
"So if we just tell her it's time to go to the exams, then she won't chase us anymore."
"That sounds very simple, let's try it."
And in unison, we both shouted, "Roza!!!"
"Yeahhowareyouwhyaren'tyouguysstillrunning?" she dropped from a tree as she was saying all of this.
I didn't know what she said, but I did hear the last few words. "We stopped because it's time to go to the exams."
"Ooohhhh...reallyIguesstimereallydoesgobyfastwhenwe'rehavingfunhuhguys?"
"Um...right, well let's go!" I tried to sound as enthusiastic as she was, but that wasn't my thing. Then again, it wasn't really Roza's thing either.
As we walked out of the forest, Roza wouldn't stop talking and it was giving me a massive headache. 'Come on, Kenshin! Think! I cannot take anymore of this annoying talking!' Normally her voice was serious or depressed sounding, but now it was this high-pitched girly voice, I hated that. Then I had an idea, 'Of course! It's so obvious!'
I took out a water bottle from my pouch and handed it to Roza, "I bet you're really thirsty from chasing us before."
"Woooooow!ThanksKenshinIdon'thaveanyideawhatIwoulddowithoutyou!" and she took it and drank deeply.
Roza POV:
I was so hyper that I wasn't even thinking about what could probably be in the water or anything, I just knew that I was very thirsty.
Right when I took a sip, I felt my hyper-active energy leaving me, my thoughts were slowing down to their normal pace, and my eyes drooped half way.
I dropped the empty water bottle and looked at the both of them. Then, without warning or anything, I pinned them each to the fence behind them with my own hands and said calmly, "Now, what have we learned about giving me sugar?"
They looked afraid, but I wanted them to forget everything they had just witnessed, Kenshin spoke, "Um...never give you sugar, got it."
I looked at Yasashiku, he looked even more freighted then Kenshin did, though he did speak, "Sorry."
"Now, I want you both to promise that you will never mention this to anyone, not even if they are on the floor dying!" now I was glaring, "Do you understand me?"
"Yes" they said in unison.
I dropped them and walked to the place where the exams were to be held. I heard them following close behind.
When we made it to the building, we climbed two flights of steps and walked to a crowd around a room, of course the room was 210.
"You can't come in, you're too weak!" said a voice that was very unfamiliar.
"Come on, we need to get in." said a female voice this time. There was a thud as though someone had punched her.
"What's going on?" I asked Kenshin quietly.
"No clue, but we need to get in." and he walked forward as his brother and I followed.
He pushed through the crowd and there were two boys, a few years older then us, guarding the door. Kenshin walked up to them and said, "Nice try." then he motioned to Yasashiku and I to follow him up another flight of stairs.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"It was genjutsu. That room was only room 110, we need to go up another flight of stairs to reach our destination."
"Good job, bro." Yasashiku praised.
"Yeah, I don't even think anyone else even knew about it." I said, smiling.
"Guess not because there not following us."
True, the others waiting at the decoy room didn't follow us, they only whispered to there neighbors. That was uncomfortable to me because it was just like my first day at the academy.
When we reached the room, which was the real 210. We walked in.
1. Wow that cupcake was good. I can't believe I haven't had one in so long!
2. Let's get training
3. Hey. How are you guys? Why aren't you still running?
4. Wow! Thanks Kenshin, I don't know what I would ever do without you.
