do own Tiffany and Jaclyn, on account of we made them. So... yeah.

Thank-you. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^ It was a beautiful day in Tokyo. The sun was shining and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. It was just about noon when the two sisters left to go to the DDR arcade for some sibling time. Actually they were TWIN sisters to be quite honest. Almost identical, but not quite. It had been a very hectic past few weeks for the two. They had just moved from Okinawa. So between moving, homework, and trying to make new friends, they hadn't had any time to just chill together. Although they did have time to visit a local dojo. Well actually it was a temple now, sort of. They were friends with the lady who took care of it. She used to be friends with their mother when she was young and she also lived next door to them at their new house. She rarely came home however. All her time was spent keeping the dojo looking in tip top shape. It had been passed down through her family. Lots of love seemed to fill the building at all times of the year. It was a wonderful place to be in. "Hey Tiff, I think Ms.Osuka is at the dojo. Let's go visit." Jaclyn peered down the street looking at the immense doorway. "Sure. We don't have to be home til' late anyways." Tiff said as she glanced at her watch. The two turned into the large doors. It was a very serene place. Great for when you needed to concentrate. It used to be the Kamiya Kasshin dojo, but they no longer taught that sword technique. "Tiffany, Jaclyn! Come in, come in! I was just thinking about you." Osuka smiled and gestured for them to come in. They both smiled in return and entered. "Sit down and have some tea." Osuka served them some citrus tea. She knew neither of them were particularly fond of green tea. "Arigato! So, how are you today Ms.Osuka?" Jaclyn asked before taking a sip of her tea. "Just fine. But today is a special day." Tiff looked up from her cup. "How so?" "Today is the anniversary of the passing of the dojo." "You mean like passing gas?" Jaclyn inquired with a puzzled look. Ms.Osuka and Tiff both sweatdropped. "No. This is the day that my great great great grandfather Himura Kenshin and my great great great grandmother Himura Kaoru passed the house to my great great grandfather. Which is also the same day they gave it to my great grandfather and my grandfather and then me." The twins both fell over, "Too many greats.." 0.o "But you know. Kenshin Himura was the greatest swordsman in all of Japan. In the days of the meiji restoration he was known as-" "The battousai" Jaclyn and Tiff replied in unison. Osuka looked off into the distance as if she was remembering a fond memory. "Yes. Until he met Kamiya Kaoru and settled down and made a life here in Tokyo." "That's just a legend though. They're not real. It's so ridiculous they even made an anime show about it!" declared Jaclyn as she finished her tea. "I believe Ms.Osuka. I think they're really was a Kenshin and a Kaoru. That anime is soooo cool. I bet Aoshi used to come here too.." Tiff drifted off at the thought of her favorite character. Ms.Osuka shifted on the pillow. Then stood up. "Well, no matter what you believe there is still the task at hand." A stern and disciplined look flashed upon her face. "And that would be.." The twins inquired. "TO CLEAN THE STORAGE ROOM! Be back here at 7:00 sharp! Ciao! ^_~" and with that she snatched all the dishes and ran off. -.-' "Ugh. I hate it when she does that." Jaclyn complained as she got up and headed to the door. "Oh well. 7:00 it is." Tiff sighed as she set her alarm and headed to the DDR arcade with her sister. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~7:00 P.M.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ "Why'd she say seven? Couldn't we have come tomorrow afternoon or something? It's getting dark out here." Jaclyn moaned as they rummaged through the huge pile of junk. "It's not like there was anything else to do at home. Besides she needs all the help she can get." "I suppose." she replied as she pushed a pile of papers to the side. As she looked to see what else there was to move she noticed a sword in the back of the storage room. "Hey look!" she walked over and picked it up. "It's Kenshin's sword." She ran outside. "Hiyyyyyya! WAHHHHHH!!!!! Look I'm Kenshin. Heeheeeheeheeeee."
Tiff followed her, "Hey don't mess with that! That's sacred!" she scolded as she swiftly snatched the sword back. "I was just playing with it for a second. I wasn't going to hurt it." "Yes, you were!" Tiff defended quickly dusting it off. Jaclyn rolled her eyes at the sight of her sister hugging the sword. Don't get me wrong, she liked Rurouni Kenshin and everything but she wasn't crazy over it like her sister. She watched the whole series, in fact she thought it was the best anime she'd ever seen. She just...wasn't crazy. She sighed and then walked off towards the side of the dojo. Tiffany watched as her sister disappeared around the side of the building, and then turned towards the sword. "Oooooo, it's soooo cool. And to think, I have the chance to hold it." She looked both ways and then quickly unsheathed the sword. The blade gleamed a luminous silver color in the moonlight. It held an honorable misdemeanor around it. "Wow...let's try it out!" she ran over to the nearest tree. "HAH! I got you now Shishio! Now you and your band of Britney Spears incarnates can't take over the world*!" She thwacked the tree. The sword had a clean hit, despite the blade being on the wrong side, it was a great weapon. "TIFFANY!!!!!" Jaclyn screamed . Tiffany sheathed the sword, stuck it in her belt and took off expediently to see what happened to her sister. "What is it?!?" Tiffany yelled expecting something horrible to have happened. "I-I-it-it's a-a-a-" "WHAT? What is it? What's wrong?" "A ghost!" Jaclyn blurted out pointing to something in the shadows. Tiffany walked over to the shadowed figure cautiously. "HAH!" she yelled striking the figure with the sakabatou. She slowly turned around. "Uh, jaclyn. This sure one scary...TREE!" "But there WAS a ghost over there!" "Yeah, sure...and fireballs are gonna shoot out of my butt." "Maybe they will.." Jaclyn said defensively. Tiffany started back over to the storage room when all of the sudden she noticed her sister's face turn pale. "What? Are fireballs coming out of my butt?" she asked sarcastically. "No. But they should be right about now. Look!" Jaclyn pointed behind her. A sudden chill ran down her spine as she heard the faint laughs of children. She quickly turned around, and there stood two ghosts. "Do you want to play with us?" one asked. The twins stood there for a moment, stunned. Then turned to each other. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!" they screamed as they ran as fast as they could towards the gates. "Hmm.I guess they didn't want to play." One ghost said to the other. Suddenly, another ghostly figure appeared. He was sweeping the front of the dojo by the gates. "Excuse me? Did you need any help?" the figure inquired. The girls once again took off, but by this time it was too dark to see where you were going, and they ran into a wall. There they lay unconscious....

Ryu no hirameki: YAY! It's the end of chapter one! *Cheers*
Amakakeru: I'm so proud of our story! *Smiles*
Ryu no hirameki: Yeah, but I still don't understand why the fireballs didn't come out of her butt. I mean, the ghosts DID come.
Amakakeru: Well yeah, technically they should've but, did you really want to see fireballs come out of her butt?
Ryu no hirameki: Well, it's just, I was sorta prepared to read that. *Has popcorn and soft drink in her theater chair*
Amakakeru: ..well anywayz. Plz R/R. No flames. Thx. ^_^x
*part of a story written by Msanogi (aka Ryu no hirameki) you should read it! Title: I'm Tired P.S. This name was received with permission. Well duh the it's the same author. Also we don't own britney spears, nor do we want to.
