Chapter 2:
Kiena woke with a start, drenched in cold sweat. Her violet eyes were opened wide in shock, her breathing fast and heavy, as though she had just run a marathon. She sighed, as soon as she was sure that she was in her room and not in the street that she had just dreamed about. She closed her eyes and held her head in her hands.
"Just a dream.just a dream.that's all it was.a dream," she thought.
"But it was so realistic. I felt everything the girl in the mask felt.and the man named Kenshin.she helped him.but, what was going on.and what about the little girl? There was definitely a little girl." She opened her eyes. "Kenshin.he looked just like Shinta. They were about the same age too. Hmmm.It must be a coincidence. I should go back to sleep. After all, It was just a dream. No use losing sleep over it." She looked over at the sleeping bundle on the bed next to hers. She could barely see a tuft of his fiery red hair, and she knew in there somewhere there were some purple eyes. She absentmindedly stroked her red hair. They were twins, and had a knack for finishing each other's sentences. They knew exactly what the other would do or say at any moment, which scared their friends, and they were identical in looks. They loved to play tricks on people and always enjoyed the confusion it caused. They were two little troublemakers, but their friends liked them anyway.
Kiena watched Shinta sleep for a while, before lying down to sleep herself. "After all, there was no use getting worked up about dreams." Which was her last thought as she slipped into a state of sleep. A figure crouching outside their window smiled, as he watched the red-haired girl think about her dream. "It has begun," he whispered, "But will they recognize it for what it truly is, their destiny?" *********************************************************************
Shinta was the first to wake up the next morning. This was a shocker for two major reasons. (1) he never woke up earlier than 6:30 on schooldays, (It was 5:15) and (2) he never, ever woke up earlier than Kiena, and she was still snoozing peacefully. He was very shocked that he had actually woken up earlier than her, which was reason enough for his shocked impression to turn into one of delight. He walked over to their closet, and pulled on a pair of faded blue jeans and a baggy grey t-shirt. He had to search around for a bit to find his grey sweatshirt, however, but he finally found it and wrapped it loosly around his waist. He pulled his long red hair up into a high ponytail, and wandered downstairs.
He was very bored, for there was no one to play with since Kiena wasn't up, so he decided to play a prank on his twin. He gathered up some supplies, and catiously walked back up the stairs. "It's a daring, and far- fetched plan, but it just might work with a little help," he thought to himself. "Help. Hmmm." *********************************************************************
Kiena woke up around 6:00. She sat up and stifled a huge yawn, she
glanced at her clock. "6:00! That's late! I have to get going!" She
thought.
"Shinta, come on! It's time to get up!" She said, pulling herself out of bed and walking over to the closet. "Shinta! Are you even listening to me!?! Shinta!" "Ugh, whatever. Shinta, why won't you get up?" She mumbled, pulling on a grey t-shirt and blue jeans just like her brother, and walking over to her brother's bed. "Shinta..OH MY GOSH! He's gone!" She shriked, staring at the empty bed. "Gone."
