Day 3 "The Twins & The Priestess"
Rei walked out in the cool air from the Tejinakru Dojo in which she attended, and stared at the setting sun before her. It was reaching the early evening, as she tied back her long black hair in a ponytail, feeling the sweat from her brow fading from the cool air that hit her face. Dressed in her usual red and white priestess clothes which she was known for, Rei took a seat on the wooden side walk of the dojo. She had been working hard at learning more techniques and rituals that came with being a priestess of her own temple, and it was soon time to call it a night. Rei closed her eyes, feeling the strain of sleep working against her.
Suddenly, Rei felt a presence sit beside her. Slowly opening her eyes, Rei's eyes caught the glisten of golden blonde hair shining underneath the rays of the setting sun. Focusing her eyes upon the figure, Rei sweetly smiled. "Lord Nakago ..." she replied. Sitting next to her was Rei's sensei and a man she most admired not only in beauty but in the way he held himself. His blonde hair laid upon his shoulders as his blue eyes set on Rei warmly. "Miss Hino ... you seem tapped out. I hope I haven't been working you too hard." Nakago replied. Rei quickly shook her head. "No, not at all. I just have quite a lot riding on what I'm learning here." she replied. Nakago smiled and folded his legs underneath him in the style that all priest and priestess' were to. Noticing this, Rei quickly out of respect followed her sensei's lead. Nakago laughed softly.
"Miss Hino ... you are by far my best student. I see nothing but accomplishments through your eyes. Your strong-willed and extremly dedicated. I also know its hard for you and your Grandfather now. But please ... don't push yourself so hard." he replied. Rei's face slightly blushed as she nodded in understandment. "I'll go off into the fire room. I want to end the night by praying." Rei replied, feeling back in her priestes role. Nakago sighed in defeat, and watched as Rei walked along to go and pray. She will never change ... Nakago thought to himself.
**
Rei slid the door of the praying chamber open, and allowed her fellow priest and priestess' to pass by on their way out of the room. Rei bowed her head in respect as did her fellow students. She then walked in, as the noise of a knocked over bucket caused Rei to turn around quickly on her heel. "WHO'S THERE?" Rei called out. Rei took a fighting stance, as she came face to face with the assistant boy. "Oh .. Miss Hino." The boy replied, picking up the bucket and walking towards her. Rei smiled and laughed nervously, scratching the back of her head in embarrassment. "Oh, Amiboshi ... its just you. Forgive me ... I didn't know you were in here." Rei replied. Amiboshi simply laughed as he tightened his head band and stood before Rei. "Its alright, Miss Hino. I was just cleaning up here for the night." he replied sweetly.
Rei smiled sweetly at Amiboshi. He was a sweet guy, always nice and always trying to help people. He lived here at the dojo with Nakago as an adopted son, and he helped out around cleaning and helping Nakago with lessons. He was fifteen, two years younger then Rei and attended a private school for boys. Amiboshi was about to make his way out when Rei called out to him. "Wait, Amiboshi ... you don't have to run off! I'd like it if you would stay." Rei replied. Amiboshi smiled and laughed softly. "Sure Miss Hino ... I would like that." he exclaimed. Squatting down and sitting on his legs in the front of the doorway, Amiboshi watched as Rei sat before the wooden holding that held the fire. Rei started the fire with a quick light of a match, and immediatly placed her hands in prayer. Amiboshi followed her example, as Rei chanted softly words of an anicent chant.
As Rei finished, Amiboshi allowed her to stand up before he did out of respect. Rei then walked over to Amiboshi with a smile on her face. "Thanks for accompaning me, Amiboshi."
"My pleasure, Miss Hino!"
"Amiboshi please, call me Rei."
Amiboshi smiled a thank you, happy that he was given her permission. Out of all the students, Rei was the only one who ever had conversations with Amiboshi. Besides Nakago, Rei was the only one who acknowledged him during her training there. Rei wodnered why Amiboshi allowed others to treat him that way, and yet never complain about it or show that it upset him. "Say, Amiboshi, don't you have a life outside of the temple?" Rei asked. "Of course ... I usually go to kendo practice and study at a cram school nearby. I help out here a lot and go to the private school for boys up by Kyoto." he replied, smiling in triumph. Rei felt a teardrop slide down her head. "Amiboshi ... don't you have any friends to spend time with?" she asked. Rei could see the slight hurt raise on Amiboshi's face, as he casted his eyes to the ground and smirked. "Not many friends ... no. I guess most of them reject me because I'm not a very approachable person. I'm not my brother you see, Rei ..."
Rei looked surprisingly at Amiboshi. For a second, she forgot he was a twin. She hardly saw his brother around when she attended classes, so she hardly knew of him at all. "Your brother?" Rei questioned. Amiboshi nodded. "Yes, my brother Suboshi. He's practically the opposite of me, although we're twins. He's spontaneous, speaks his mind, does what he wants when he wants and is most popular at our school. That is, heh ... when he goes to school ..." Amiboshi replied, trying his best to joke about it. "He goes to the same private school you do, right?" Rei asked. Amiboshi nodded. "I've really accepted that I'm not my brother, and people are only nice to me when he's around. That is, everyone but you and Nakago, Rei."
Rei smiled and grabbed Amiboshi's hand. "Its because I'm your friend, Amiboshi. Don't let others bother you! They just judge you by your brother ... thinking you have to do everything by his standards! But your you, and you should be happy with just being who you are." rei replied. Amiboshi felt very touched by Rei's words as his cheeks blushed a bit. "R- Rei ..."
"And just where were you?"
A harsh voice was heard from the front courtyard of the dojo, as Rei and Amiboshi ran towards the sound. They caught up and found Nakago standing before Suboshi, still dressed in his private school uniform, with his jacket sleeves cut off and his book bag slumped over his shoulder. Rei, finally seeing Suboshi the way he was, noticed he was quite the bad boy rebel, nothing like his brother. Suboshi sighed in frustration and tried walking past Nakago. "You didn't answer me, Suboshi." Nakago replied again. Suboshi merely grunted. "I was out." he replied. "Its almost seven fifty ... your classes end at one twenty two. Where have you been Suboshi?" he repeated again. Amiboshi looked with pity upon his brother, as he decided to butt in. "Nakago ... Dad ... I asked a friend of mine to help Suboshi study after school. They've been at it for four hours and Suboshi called earlier during your classes. He said it was going to take awhile coming back due to traffic on the way here."
Rei looked surprisingly at Amiboshi. He was lying ... for his brother who didn't deserve any of his sympathy. Nakago stared at Amiboshi quietly for a few moments, sighed and continued his glance to Suboshi, who merely played off a smart ass smirk and shrugged his shoulders. "Very well ... get inside and get ready for dinner." Nakago replied. Suboshi saluted Nakago in his own smart ass way and walked past him. Rei grabbed Amiboshi's arm to grab his attention. "Amiboshi ... what did you do that for -"
"He's my brother, Rei. Since we were little, we've always watched eachother's back."
"But Amiboshi -"
"Hey, bro!" Suboshi replied, wrapping his arm around Amiboshi's neck. "Thanks for the cover-up! Couldn't have done it without you!" he whsipered. Amiboshi smiled slightly, while Rei watched getting very agitated. "What were you up to?" Amiboshi asked. "Ah, the norm. Robbed a small supermarket ... smashed a few windows and scared the shit out of this new local gang that thought they coudl take me and my gang on ... you know, same old same old." he replied. Suboshi then noticed Rei's presence, and smiled slyly to himself. "Well, well ... it it ain't Nakago's little pigeons ..."
"Excuse me?" Rei replied, trying her best to not lose her temper. Suboshi laughed and he walked closer to her. "Your not like the other girls I see her ... your actually quite the looker." he replied. Rei scoffed in disgust as she pulled away from him. Amiboshi stood between them. "Suboshi, leave Rei alone." he asked. Suboshi chuckled to himself and stuck his hands in the air. "Alright, alright, I give up! I don't see what her problem is." Suboshi exclaimed, still getting dirty looks from Rei. Rei took in a deep breath and turned to Amiboshi. "Listen, I better be going. Here ..." Rei replied, handing Amiboshi a paper. Amiboshi opened it to notice it was blank. Before he could question her, Rei took out a pen and scribbled on the slip of paper Amiboshi held. "This is my number ... call me whenever you want to talk Amiboshi, abotu anything at all." Rei replied sweetly, and leaned over to Amiboshi's ear. "And don't alwayds believe you ahve to stick up for your brother like that!" she added. Rei waved and started walkinga way as Amiboshi watched her. "Night, Amiboshi ... see you tomorrow!" Rei called out.
Amiboshi's cheeks flushed a soft pink, as Suboshi grabbed Amiboshi surprisingly around the neck again. "Aw, you didn't tell me you had the hots for someone?" Suboshi replied. Amiboshi became beet red and pushed away from Suboshi, nervously trying to coem up with an excuse. "Its not like that! We're just friends ... besides ... even if I did ... she's out of my league anyway." he replied. Suboshi sighed. "She's only two years older then you, no big. But ... I'm happy to hear you've finally made a friend. Its about time you came out of that shell of yours brother. This Rei certainly has made me happy ... unlike those other assholes that ignore you and mistreat you when i have my back turned." he replied, becoming very serious. "S-Suboshi ..."
"I promised you I'd watch over you, didn't I? I don't want you to be so closed up anymore."
"I know ... I'm trying my best. Its hard to get used to everything."
"I know, Amiboshi. We're lucky Nakago took us in. As long as we have each other's back, we'll be just fine."
Suboshi hugged his brother and started making his way to his room. "Oh, and Amiboshi ... don't be such a chicken - shit and call Rei tomorrow! Being friends means keeping in touch. Don't wuss out now!" he called out. Amiboshi felt his face blush again as he came back to his senses. He hedl Rei's number in his hand and smiled. "Thanks, Suboshi." he replied.
Nakago peered behind the corner as he watched Amiboshi. He sighed and stared back up towards the moon. "Those two ... their the most loyal siblings I have ever seen. So close ... you couldn't cut it with a knife. Hm, what a mystery those two always are ..."
