Song Of The Feathers
Chapter 3: Gemini's Past: Part 1
Van steped inside the house, "Nice place."
"Oh, thanks, mom, dad, and me lived here since before I can remember."
Van looked at a picture of Gemini at the age of five, "Is this you and your father?"
"Yeah, I was five when mom took that picture. I beat my dad for the first time in hand to hand combat, fair and square too." Gemini smiled.
Gemini entered the living room, to the left is a flight of stairs leading to the bedrooms, "So, what did mom's letter say?"
"She requested I take you back to Geia with me, two days after tomorrow. If that's okay with you." Gemini looked up at her mom's picture on the mantle, and nodded.
Then they heard a voice from out back, and Gemini's battle sences pricked up, "How dare you take my beutiful Gemini away from me, you demon!"
Gemini saw Van's face, he was sad and upset, *Wait! Mom said anyone on Geia with angel wings are considerd a demon and somtimes killed. That explains the expresion.* Gemini groand, "Well he is right ontime, as usual. Excues me for a sec." Gemini went over to the glass cabnet near the door, and grabed a sword, it had a dragon carved on the sheath, and steped outside, "I'm really not in the mood for this, Joko!" Van also steped outside the house to see who this guy was. Joko was a foot taller then Gemini, his hair was black with blond streaks, he had icey blue eyes, and was carring a heaver sword then Gemini's.
Joko after a miniute said, "Can you please stop denying your love for me, and marrie me, my fiancee."
This was a statment not a question, that made Gemini very angery, "I will burn in hell before I marrie you! Can't you get it throu your thick-ass skull that I DON'T LOVE YOU! I HATE YOU!"
Van spoke up, "Leave her alone!" Gemini looked back at Van. Van saw that her eyes were red, insted of ocean green.
Joko looked at Van, "Who are you, and what are you doing with MY Gemini? I heard you say that you were going to take her away, explain that."
Gemini looked back at Joko, you could see her arua flare up, only this time it was a ruby-red, "He is a good friend of mine. What gives you the right to say I'm yours, and where I go and who with who, HMMMMM?" Gemini said in a, to put it mildly, furious tone.
"It was prophesized in the stars for you to be my bride."
"Yeah right, and I'm the devil. Now, get your ass off my place, unless you want that pea-braind head of yours to be ripped off!" Van gave Gemini a look of suprise.
Joko was getting very mad now. Joko charged Gemini, "JOKO NO BAKA!" Gemini raised her sword up to slice Joko in half, he parryed, but not fast enough. Gemini's sword grazed his face, which left a cut from just above his right eyebow to his right ear.
"MY FACE!" Joko screamed.
Gemini steped back, "I told you to get your slow-ass out of here. Now, GET OFF MY PLACE, before I kick you all the way to Geia!"
"I shall kill you for this!"
"Yeah? JUST TRY!" Out of nowhere another sword, identical to her other one, appeard in Gemini's other hand, "Just try."
Joko steped back, "Even I know better than to take you on with the twin dragon swords, my Silver Dragon."
"No one is aloud to call me that exsept friends, and you're no friend!"
"Well than, good-bye my 'Sliver Dragon' Gemini." Gemini let out a small growl, and Joko jumped over the back fence.
Gemini let go of the second sword, and it dissappered. Gemini tunred around and headed back to the house, her anger mostly gone, and she was relaxed, "Man I hate that stupid jerk. I mean everyday it's the same thing." Gemini mumbled. Van followed her back into the house. Gemini shethed her sword and tied it around her waist.
"What was that all about?" Van asked when his curiosity got the better of him.
Gemini sighed, *He had to ask that! Well mom did say I could trust him.* "Okay. Where to begin? I guess high school would be the place to start." *Help me, mom.* "In high school he was the captain of the sameri club. Back then he was knowen as the 'Lighting Wolf'. I didn't like him from the start, but he 'fell' in love with me. He told the boys that if they wanted to date me, they would have to best me in battle. 'BIG' mistake on there part, for one thing they underestimated me, they thought just because 'I'm a girl, I can't fight.' I beat them every single time. After that I had a low veiw on boys. Joko and I also fought everyday, only once did he beat me, it was because I had a fever and wasn't seeing stright. Stupid me, i should have listened to mother, but I told her I was fine, which I wasn't, I found out later I had the messils. Anyway, I tripped in the middle of the fight and he won with a chep shot to the back of the neck, and it kocked me out like a candle flame in the wind. But I did managed to give my illness to him and the rest of the boys at school. After two weeks of recovery, of my injorys and illness and a lot of scolding by mother, I returned to school, and Joko declaired me his fiancee. Then, every morning after that, when he tryed to woo me, I'd kick him to the moon. You get it now?"
Van took one long look at Gemini, which made Gemini uncomfortable, "Yeah. How did you get the name 'Silver Dragon'?"
"That's a story in it's self, but I'll tell you anyway. One day mom came with me to school. The morning started out like mormal, kick the asses of 350 guys, then kick Joko into LEO (Low Earth Orbit). But this time he got me pissed off royal. I started to glow my normal white arua, and created my new and most powerful attack, if I put enough chi into it. It's called 'White Dragon'. After the attack was released my white arua changed to a sliver. Then I became known as the 'Sliver Dragon'."
"How do you know of Atlantic?"
"Mom told me of the legend, and of your heratige, and mine also."
"What do you mean by 'and mine also'?"
Gemini looked away from Van, *Should I tell him? Help me, mother!* [I'll tell you later.]
"Okay." Van answered.
Gemini breathed a sigh of relefe, "You hungery? I can make some dinner."
"Yeah, I'm a little hungery." Van answered.
Gemini walked out of the room, and to the kitchan, "Go ahead and take alook around. Dose sweet & sour pork, and rice sound good?"
"Sounds great." Van called back to her, and begain to look at all the pictures on the wall. Most of them were Gemini after winning compitions. Van got to the glass cabnet he saw Gemini at earlyer, when she got her sword out. The cabnet had some tropheys, but what caught Van's eyes was the dragon statues, particulary The White One. Van looked at it for a long time, there was a pendent hanging around it's neck. It was smimiler to Hitomi's but and an eight pointed star at the bottom. *That kinda looks like Hitomi's pendant, exsept for that star at the bottom. I wonder how....*
Van's thought were interuped when he heard Gemini calling, "Van, dinner is ready!" Van walked into the dinning room and sat down across from Gemini.
