Episode 5: Friend or Enemy?
Aya entered in the school gate and obviously with Toya on her side. Yuhi and Chidori had narrowed eyes from behind. "Good morning..." They heard a gentle voice and turned. They saw Koori-ana with a slightly small smile. She looked a little more pretty with her hidden smile.
Yuhi and Chidori walked over her and stopped beside her to see her more clearly, "Are you really Koori-ana?" She looked them with a question look.
"Morning, Koori-ana!" Aya smiled at Koori-ana and she smiled. They entered in the school together. Yuhi and Chidori had dots and looked each other blinking. Toya smiled.
Aya immediately grabbed Koori-ana's left arm and pulled her to her. "So Koori-ana, what's up?" She tilted her head a side and Koori-ana looked up. "Sky..." She replied and Aya had narrowed eyes. "Not what I had in mind..." She grumbled.
"I need to tell you something," She faced at them and they looked impatient, "Aki want to see you." "What?" They shrieked and Yuhi appeared in front of Aya. "What are you trying to do? Kill her?"
"Koori-ana, you know the ancestor in her is willing to do anything to get out from inside Aki," Toya corrected. She nodded, "Yes, that's true." She looked at Aya, "But there's one way to help Aki to resist." "What?" They questioned together.
Koori-ana returned back from school and opened Aki's room door. Aki immediately got off from his bed after he heard the sound of the door, "So what did my sister said?" She passed by him, "She loved too, she said. She couldn't wait."
"Really?" He ran towards her from behind, "So is this afternoon?" She looked at him, "Yes." He jumped through the air and headed towards his drawer to change his clothes. He stopped and turned at her, "Well, are you going to change?"
"Change?" She repeated, "I don't have too." She sat down on the sofa and clicked on the remote. "Why not?" Aki pondered and took off his T.shirt to another one. "What I wear will look the same me!" He stopped for awhile with narrowed eyes, "What are you talking about anyway?"
Aya looked down at her watch. It was exactly five in the afternoon. Koori-ana told her to be on the National Park at five in the afternoon. Chidori was playing on the swing while Yuhi was just beside her. They were quite close for the past few days. Toya was beside Aya, impatient like her but his expression didn't show it.
"Aya!" Aki waved and they immediately turned. "Aki?" She ran over to him vigorously and stopped to a halt a few centimeters from him in chibi. "Don't be afraid," Koori-ana walked to them, "The 'him' inside will hurt you but not your brother."
"You look like you are gaining weight!" Aki looked at her with irritated eyes and she puffed like a cow. He giggled and looked at Koori-ana, "It's already 5 minutes!" He grinned at her and everyone looked curious – why are they so intimate?
Koori-ana pulled his down to her chest and stroked at the back of his head like a cat. They gasped with dots. Aki smiled like a cat – sign of that he liked being treated like that, a lot.
Aya pointed vigorously at them with wide open eyes, "neee... nee... what are you guys doing?" "I can see them intimating each other," Chidori whispered to Yuhi and they both had irritated eyes.
Aki raised his head and smiled at them, "So the ancestor won't try to conquer me." They had question marks all over. "What I mean is Koori-ana," He looked at Koori-ana, "Can only stop me to resist Mikage – the ancestor!" Koori-ana nodded quietly and everyone had narrowed eyes – they were thinking. Toya smiled, "I am glad for you!" Aki nodded and looked at Koori-ana, "Thanks to her!"
Aya transformed into chibi and pulled him to a corner, "Have you done 'anything' to her yet?" "What are you talking about?" He whined as if he was younger and hit his twin with a tray. "I've longed to do that after we separated!" He pointed proud of himself with lights on him.
Aya had a bump with tears filled her eyes. Aki turned to Toya, "So when are two going to be married? I heard Aya's pregnant!" Aya blushed immediately and pointed, "Who told you?"
"Koori-ana did!" Aki looked at Koori-ana. "Eh??" Chidori shrieked, "Why does she know and I don't?" It was quiet of a moment and now, Koori-ana just realized again that she was strange. She looked down and walked away, "I think I should be going now!"
"Koori-ana?" Aki questioned and quickly grabbed her arm, "Where are you?" Her eyes widened – no one in her life grabbed her arm to need her. "You can't go! I need you!" He claimed and the others had the word 'need' all over them with narrowed eyes. Toya had a sweat drop.
Suddenly, Aki turned and looked at Aya. "Aya, run!" Aya's eyes widened when Ceres warned her. Toya immediately pulled her from behind when Aki tried to hug her. "Aki?" "Aya, that's not your brother anymore. That's Mikage!" Ceres shouted inside her, "Release me now!" Aya just shook her head innocently.
"Looks like Aki lost track of resisting!" Chidori concluded seriously. "I should be up about ten minutes ago but this boy won't let me!" Aki's look was different. He fisted and looked at Koori-ana, "What are you? How did you manage this boy to resist me?" He gave her a deadly glare but she was not afraid. He hehed, "I'll kill you later after I get my Ceres back!"
Toya put on a position in front of Aya, to protect her, "Yuhi, take her back!" Yuhi nodded and grabbed her arm but she didn't budge. "I want to stay!" She was determined and looked at Koori-ana, "Koori-ana, please do something. I know you can only make Aki to come back."
Another needed her – Koori-ana thought. All her life, she was alone and no one was with her. She doesn't have friends but only enemies. She doesn't want enemies but it was fate working under Mikagi. She looked down while Toya and ancestor was fighting. Hugging Aki was the only one who can help Aki to stop the ancestor. She started thinking. She remembered Aki when he said about heart. "Everyone has a heart, including you." She liked his smile.
"Why am I feeling like this? I never felt like this before!" She thought and fisted. Suddenly she vanished from that spot that everyone gasped. Ancestor laughed, "Running away are you!" He snapped when Koori-ana appeared behind him. No one could see her move. Her silver hair blocked her eyes. Toya had his eyes open wide.
Without thinking, Koori-ana held Aki's from behind and let his headrest on her chest. Ancestor eyes widened and he held on his head tight when he was feeling defeated. Everyone was shocked – especially when Aki didn't move violently anymore. Koori-ana fell down on her legs – she did it again.
"Aki? Koori-ana?" Aya walked to them and stopped for awhile. Aki opened his eyes and looked up at his sister smiling. She had veins popping out and hit her brother with the previous tray. Everyone shared the same sweat drop except Koori-ana. She was just sitting behind Aki lost and still hugging her from behind.
He looked up at her face and smiled, "Thank you, Koori-ana. I needed that!" Her eyes widened. She had her cheeks red. He looked so cute. "Okay! Let me get this straight!" Yuhi crossed his arms thinking, "Aki, Koori-ana your soul mate, right?" He pointed and Aki started boiling. He walked away from Koori-ana and ran towards Yuhi. He started choking Yuhi vigorously in chibi, "I'll kill you."
Aya smiled, "That's a yes!" Chidori nodded beside her and they looked at Koori-ana. She doesn't know what soul mate means – do you? She looked lost. Aya walked over to her and held on her shoulders – Koori-ana was taller, actually. Aya grinned, "Arigatou!"
"Can we be friends?" She looked at her and felt a warm breeze. She turned when she heard Aki, "Having friends is great, Koori-ana!"
"See?" Yuhi pointed again in chibi, "Someone's in love!" Chidori giggled as Aki ran over to him again. She looked at them and looked at Aya again. She had a small grin that Ceres immediately reacted. "Return my Mana!" Koori-ana actually saw Ceres in Aya and flinched. She stepped backwards, remembering that she had a promise with Kagami, capturing Ceres was the one main and important event.
"I can't..." Koori-ana said, "Mikagi Aya is my arch foe..." She dashed off. "Koori-ana!" Aya stretched her arm. "Don't leave your soul mate here!" Yuhi teased again and Aki hit him from behind. "Stop talking about soul mate!" He waved, "Anyway, I have to go! I don't want to stay and let the man in me conquer me when Koori-ana's not around!" He dashed, "Koori-ana, wait up!"
"Oh!" Chidori had this ohed sound interested, "Aren't they meant to be?" Yuhi knocked her head with grin, "And you are not meant to be with anyone!" She looked up at him with a crooked look, "What's the supposed to mean?" "You know what I mean!" He laughed and walked off.
"There's something mysterious about Koori-ana," Aya said softly and Toya agreed. "Somehow she has connection towards the robe and Ceres herself." Aya nodded once and smiled.
Koori-ana stopped and leaned on a building wall. She was puffing, for the first time. She was always been cool but not that time. Could Aki's existence make her change? She held on her forehead and thought. She flinched when she saw Aki right in front of her, just a few centimeters from her. "What were you thinking?" He was puffing and she looked down. "I don't know! My body reacted by itself!" She replied and she started to look panic.
She snapped when Aki held on her cheeks. He gently pushed her chin up and his eyes were looking directly at her. "Aki?" "Calm down, Koori-ana," He had this sweetest smile. "Why... why are you doing this?" She asked and her curiosity grew. "Because I want to calm you down like you did to me!" He replied, he sounded so caring and Koori-ana raised her arms. She held on his palms and thanked with a grin.
They returned back to the Mikagi building and Koori-ana was ordered to see Kagami. She stepped in his office and Kagami had this evil plot look. "I see you can control Aki," He pointed and Koori-ana still didn't response. "This will take mush further drastic measures!" He turned his chair and Koori-ana slammed his desk top as a reflex. He looked at her. She reacted for the first time.
"Stop playing with Aki's mind. He doesn't deserve this. Those twins doesn't deserve this!" She protested angrily and he had an evil laugh. "Koori-ana," He looked at her, "You are not here to judge but to be Aki's bodyguard. You are not here to give advises or your opinion!" He rested his elbows on his desk looking directly at her, "That was the contract you signed, remember?" She snapped and turned. She walked out and shut the door angrily. She leaned on the door. She walked on the corridor. She neve realized that she will never get a friend. She never took Aya and the others her enemy.
She stepped in Aki's room and sat on the sofa. She heard the shower in the bath room. She knew Aki was inside. He walked with a towel on his hip and he was drying his hair with another towel. "Koori-ana, return so soon?" He said, he looked like in a spirit when he knew Koori-ana has the ability to help him to control the ancestor. He sat opposite to her, "Why so gloom?"
She looked at him, "I am always gloom!" "Not this morning!" He corrected with a giggle and suddenly turned serious, "What did Kagami told you?"
She looked out the window, "Nothing..." He looked at her and smiled, "Would you gladly hold me again tonight?" She looked at him, "Kagami said that –" "Sshh!" He stopped him pointing his index finger to her mouth and shook his head, "Ignore what he says. I want you to hold me again." She had a question look. He smiled sweetly, "Because I love you holding me!" He moved to her and pushed her to sofa just like last night but this time, Aki held her tighter, unwillingly to release her. He liked it alot, it calmed him and, further more, it also calmed Koori-ana down. She looked outside the window. Is Aki a Friend? Or more than that?
