Two of a Kind

Chapter Five : A Brother

Jean moaned, opening her eyes slightly.

"She's coming to."

Francoise whispered, Ivan in her arms.

"What happened?"

"You mean you don't remember?"

Jet asked.She shook her head, sitting up and brushing a piece of hair behind her ear.

"No, I don't."

The door opened with a creak and all eyes turned to Gilmore.

"I was wrong when I said that you couldn't bring back the dead, Jean."

Redrum was behind him.

"This young lady explained about your abilitys, the things not even Black Ghost knew of, that is."

"Like your reviving spell."

A confused looked crossed over Jean's face.

"Reviving spell, but you didn-"

"Does it matter what I taught you how to use?You wanted your brother so badly at that moment that the blade of my sword was in your abdomen you brought him back, with a bit of help from the Fire Ruby, that is."

The girl smiled, but unfortunatly, the cat part of her got the better and she fell back to sleep.

"What about that?"

Jet asked, pointing to the thin, long tail twitching beneath the covers.

"That would be the Fire Ruby's doing, plus it's in her blood.You should check her papers, her middle name is Honoo Neko.Which means 'Fire Cat' or 'Blaze Cat'.Just because of that, they had a vet give her rabies shots."

She laughed at all the looks she got from around the room.

"I'm joking."

"Is she awake yet?"

Joe asked, he hadn't been that affected by the wounds, but he was anxious to see his unknown sibling.

"You can go see."

He darted toward the room, but unfortunatly, he was snagged by the back of the shirt.

"Hold it, one at a time."

Redrum said, pointing to the cat laying on his shoulder.

"Canoun, off."

The cat obeyed, turning back to a human as the boy continued to his sister.

"I wanna see Jeana."

Redrum couldn't help it, she brust out laughing at the new nickname.

"Come on Imouto."

The girl frowned, looking back as the door closed but still obeyed her older half sibling.

~*~

Jean slowly sat up as the door close, looking over at her twin.

"Hey."

She chuckled as he pounced on her, hiding his face in her stomach.Her eyes closed, a small smile playing on her lips as she rubbed his back.

"Nee-chan.."

She smiled fully, he still knew that she was older by two minutes.

"Hm?"

"Why weren't you with us?"

"Mom had me sent to live with our aunt, she couldn't handle the two of us at one time I guess."

He looked up, red eyes full of tears, a small blood smudge on his cheek from the now bleeding hole in her stomach.

"I'm not gonna leave you, Itouto-chan."
