The pale moon hung protectively over the dark silhouettes in the distance. The night was cold as the frost began to settle in frozen dewdrops.
"Nuri! It's too colddd!" a small, whining voice cried.
"Kourin! Be quiet! Do you want them to find us?" the bigger of the two whispered. Not waiting for an answer, Nuriko grabbed the small girl's hand and led her to the darkness of the eerie forest.
"Aniki… I'm scared…" Kourin whispered clutching the older boy's arm. Her long, violet locks fell into her face, straying from her braid.
"Shh… nothing to be afraid of. We know this forest by heart!" the older boy, about thirteen years of age, winked down at the frightened girl. "Besides… Where's my fearless little sis?" At the teasing comment, Kourin sniffed and confidently walked forward.
It was finally the day. The day that Kourin and Nuriko were going to run far, far away from the abusing father they had been left with. Relief surged through Kourin as she thought about what they could do with their now free lives.
"Nuri, do you know what this means?!" she cried excitedly, momentarily forgetting her oncoming fear. "We're finally free!" with a giggle she let her arms loose and twirled in the midnight air.
"Ok, ok… Kourin, we can't fool around until we get out of here. Once father finds out we're both gone, he'll come after us," Nuriko shuddered at the thought. I swear… if he even flicks her one more time I'll kill him, he thought angrily, remembering his sister's whimpers and bruises.
"Nuri…" Kourin whispered, setting her large, violet eyes on his. Eyes that looked far older than her ten years of age.
"I told you. He won't hurt you again," Nuriko gave Kourin a reassuring pinch on the cheek and the two set off into the night.
When morning came, Nuriko watched the sun rise while he unconsciously stroked Kourin's pale cheek. They had finally made it out to the brink of the forest and would soon be free in another day of travels. He looked down at the huddled form that was sleeping peacefully on his lap. Violet locks, much like the smaller girl's, fell into his young face as he smiled. They could finally be together, brother and sister.
"Nuri, why are you looking at me like that?" Kourin groaned shielding her eyes from the brightening sun.
"I'm just so happy," was his soft reply. Kourin grinned from ear to ear, in her kittenish way and kissed him merrily on the cheek.
"Me too! I'm happy when you're happy, Aniki!"
Nuriko returned the grin and stretched watching the little girl intently. When he opened his mouth to respond, a distant sound interrupted him. What the…
"Kourin… come quickly!" he grabbed her hand and they were sent running far from the callings of an angry man.
"Nuriko!!!!!! Kourin!!!!!!" the rants grew closer as Nuriko's heart beat rapidly. The horse's claps of its heels came from the common path behind them.
"I'm going to beat the shit out of you two! Stop right now!" the voice of their angry father sent panicked chills down each of their spines.
Kourin breathed heavily from running on her short legs. Tears ran freely from her eyes as she desperately clutched her older brother's hand. The fear of being chased made her panic and before she knew it, she had landed flat on her face.
"Kourin! Get up!" her Aniki's hands desperately tried to pull her up but she stumbled once more. Her foot twisted painfully and she cried out Nuriko's name. Not noticing the vehemence of the man behind her, she hurriedly tried to get up. Nuriko stood in front of her, blocking her from their father.
He had finally caught up to them.
"Stay away!" Nuriko screamed. Before he could get out another word, he was sprawled on the floor, blood flowing from his nose.
"You, boy, are going to get it later tonight. I'm sick and tired of you! Worthless piece of shit!" he kicked the smaller boy once more before he cried out in pain.
Kourin's small teeth were around the bigger man's leg and she hung limply onto it, trying to stop it from inflicting any more pain to her Aniki.
"Kourin!!! You little whore! Get the hell off!" he shook her free before he used his leg to kick her side. She cried out in pain, tears glistening trails down her cheeks.
"STOP IT!!" Nuriko threw himself at the man, punching and hitting and biting, doing whatever he could to make this man stop hurting his little sister. He was too weak. He inwardly wished that he could be strong, that somehow he could protect Kourin. And when he felt something… just a hint of power… he was flying into the air.
And…
Was hit… over and over and over…
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Everything was red. Blinding red. A cry of a bird flew into the air, its golden feathers brushing against Nuriko's face. He sighed and looked up to the sky. Stars winked down at him. Seven constellations circled his brain and in the middle of it, his beautiful… Kourin…
"Nuri!" a hushed whisper cried.
"Kourin?" Nuriko gasped and groaned holding his head. His body ached terribly, every bone in his body aching. A small form was huddled against him, arms around his waist.
"I tried to keep you warm, Aniki! But you were shivering and groaning! I'm so scared!" Kourin whimpered as she hugged him tighter, his body aching at the touch but he didn't say a word.
"It's all right… don't cry Kourin…" he whispered reassuringly stroking her hair.
Nuriko realized that they were in the shack. The rough straw beneath him poked into his skin and he moved Kourin aside.
"Kourin… did he lock it again?" she nodded vigorously as she said, "After you were asleep, he threw us in here and then told us he'd be back later… he said he was…" she whimpered, "he said he was going to send me away, Aniki."
Nuriko's body became rigid with anger. No way was that bastard going to send his sweet little sister away. He eyed Kourin, taking notice of her bruised eye and cheek, and the swelling of her ankle.
The two wept in each other's arms, praying to the gods that somebody would have mercy on them. Each fell into a short slumber.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wake up! You lazy, good-fer-nothin'…" the father's voice trailed off as he saw the two. "You little whores! Get up!!"
The siblings blinked and cringed at the man yelling at them. They were used to the curses and beats by now, but somehow the way their father was looking at them was disturbing.
"You two… wanna know something?" the sadistic grin darkened his features. "You two aren't even real sister and brother."
Kourin and Nuriko looked at each other confusedly. This was a different approach their father was taking.
"What are you talking about?" Nuriko asked raggedly. His heart was clutched in his throat and he just pulled Kourin closer.
"You see, I found you a longgg time ago. Little Kourin… you were left in front of my door! Bastard child… no one wanted you… I should have left you to rot." The father sneered.
Kourin could hardly believe what this man had said. She wasn't Nuri's little sister? She wasn't her Aniki's fearless sister? Kourin looked towards Nuriko, looking at him wide eyed.
"Kourin! You lil whore… I'm sending you away! Right now…" the man grinned happily. He would finally tear these two apart.
Kourin clutched Nuriko's hand in hers and wept on his shoulder. No more Aniki?
Her sobs filled the little barn.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The sun fell over the horizon warily as two children embraced one another.
"Nuri… promise you'll find me." Kourin whispered looking up at her one and only brother.
"I promise… one day… both of us will be free and we'll be so happy." Nuriko hugged her tightly as tears flowed glistening trails down his cheeks. "You'll always be my little sis; my beautiful Kourin…"
"Aniki... I don't want to leave you," Kourin whispered against his shoulder.
Nuriko closed his eyes, wanting time to freeze. He slowly nodded his head.
"I promise I'll find you, my fearless little Kourin…" tears choked in his throat as a quiet sob escaped.
"Don't cry, Nuri," the little girl brushed her lips against his tears and took her hand in his. She placed beads of a deep, sea blue into his hand and closed his fist.
"Keep this, and remember me. Kay Nuri?"
"I'll keep this forever, right here," Nuriko patted his chest where his heart lay. He reached into his pocket, and showed her an identical necklace, with the same clear beads, but these were amethyst stones. Placing it into her adoring hands, he said, "Now you have something to remember me by."
Kourin grinned and kissed his cheek as crystalline tears fell onto her lips.
Nuriko's heart ached as he hugged his little sister for the last time.
The two parted with silent tears and a final farewell. Kourin watched Nuriko from the back of the wagon, until her Aniki was nothing more than a little dot in the distance.
