Night. Silence ran through a small house in the presant timeline. Three people slept through the eerily quiet night. A mother and her two children. No father was found at this house, he had been killed, in a way. Groans broke the silence as a young girl, about age thirteen, fell into a nightmare.
A white, furry figure stood over the light-blond haired girl, who sat with her legs under her, and her arms supporting her weakened body. A long arm reached from under the furry coat and placed a hand on top of her head. All her energy felt drained and her mind felt as if it was being taken over. "No! You can't take control of me!" The weak girl struggled away from the large figure and panted, feeling extremly weak.
"But young priestess... you are the one who's to help me." The deep voice chuckled benieth the coat. Red eyes beamed through a type of mask and quickly lost the red glow, and human eyes gazed down toward Edinkinra. Frightened, she crawled a few feet away, into the surrounding dakrness.
"What are you talking about.. I'm not a priestess!" She almost paniced as she looked around, "Raiden! RAIDEN! RAIDEN HELP ME!" She called out for her twin brother.
A bright flash of light glistened to her eyes as she woke to see her brother crouched at her side. "Edi, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Raiden's dark black hair laid straight and long enough to cover his eyes. Edinkira glanced around and sit up in her small bed and looked at her brother, in a cold sweat. "You were yelling in your sleep, again."
"Oh.." She sighed and looked at Raiden's hansome self, then out the window, where bright sunlight was shining. She rubbed her eyes then looked back to Raiden. A small smile curved at his lips, barely noticable, and he stood up and began walking out Edinkira's room. "Raiden," She called after him.
"Hmm?" He glanced back at her through his bangs.
"Thanks for waking me up from that." She smiled and he chuckled and walked out the room.
With a sigh, the girl stood up and streached herself awake in the summer morning. No more school, yesterday was their last day. Thoughts of swimming, hanging out with friends, and having fun raced through Edinkira's mind as she dressed for the day. She let the nightmare leave her thoughts while she brushed out her almost famous long, silky blond locks and slipped on a pair of flared jeans and a light pink T-shirt.
Raiden's morning routine was different. When he rentered his room, he isntantly shut the window, blocking the sun out. In the dark room, he easly walked to his dresser. He silently slipped on a pair of black jeans and a black shirt. Running a comb quickly through his hair, he glanced out the door towards his sister's room, thinking. Edinkira flashed a look inside his room as she headed towards the stairs then to the kitchen.
He took a step and almost tripped over their brown cat, Inari. Before the cat could freak out and run away from him, he snatched her up from the ground and smirked at her. "What are you doing here, Inari? Trying to trip me again?" Inari gazed at him and purred for a second which made him laugh. He walked out his room, carrying the cat down the stairs to hear Edinkira already talking to their mom.
"Are we going to Grandma's Shrine today?" Edinkira asked their mother while looking in the refriderator for something to eat.
Their mother turned to Edinkira. She had long black hair and brown eyes and didn't look much like Edinkira, but she wore a string necklace with an old pink jewel at the end.. She smiled and her sweet voice flew through the air, "Yes we are. Your grandma is going to have a fit because she doesn't see you two much anymore."
Raiden laughed a bit again, standing at the bottom of the stairs at the kitchen, watching his mother and sister, holding Inari. The cat leaped from Raiden's arms and landed on the second stair up as Raiden walked into the kitchen and grabbed the milk from the refriderator that Edinkira was holding open. "You'll make all our food go bad if you just stand there and stare into the light."
Edinkira rolled her eyes at Raiden and shut the door to the refriderator, pulling down two cups from the cabinet. "Do you always have to wear such dark clothes? It makes you look half dead." She snatched the milk away from him and poured it in the two glasses and handed one to Raiden.
"It's better than the light pink you always wear." He smirked at Edinkira. She stuck her tounge out at him and they laughed.
Their mother shook her head, sarcasticly, "I swear I'll put you two in zoos.."
Edinkira swung her head back and looked at her mom, "Oh, c'mon, Kagome! Don't be like that!" Which sent her and Kagome into a laughing fit.
Raiden rolled his eyes and looked outside. "Isn't it supposed to rain, today?"
"Well, I think that's what the weather said..." Their mom calmed down. Edinkira headed back upstairs with a smirk on her face.
Raiden watched his sister go up the stairs, "Mom... my sister scares me."
Kagome sipped on a cup of coffee, "You scare me." She said, flatly, eyeing Raiden, then smiled.
Quiet creaks of the stairs were heard as Edinkira stalked Raiden, with an umbrella in her hands when he had his back turned. Kagome spotted her and shook her head, mouthing "I wouldn't do that..." But Edinkira just smirked. She tip-toed as quietly as she could towards Raiden, who was rummaging through the cabinets. When she got close enough, "AHA! I GOT YOU!" she tried to poke Raiden with the tip of the umbrella.
Raiden turned around and looked down to his sister with his dull brown-amber eyes and just barely a smile, staring at her. "Wha-at!?" Edinkira whined, making Kagome laugh as she gathered a few things to take to the Shrine.
He grabbed the black umbrella and pointed it back at Edinkira, "You like to annoy people, don't you?" He chuckled and swung the umbrella back to his sister.
"It's a good hobby. I think you'd be excelent at it." She smirked and walked outside into the decreasing sunlight swining the umbrella in her right hand.
Kagome followed Edinkira out the door, "Hurry up, Raiden, or we'll leave you behind!" She laughed, and he ran out the door behind his mother.
"You'd do that.. wouldn't you?" He walked alongside his twin, towering just a few inches above her. They walked a short distance to a large shrine where their mother grew up. Kagome walked behind her two children, in though of why her Mom so eagerly wanted to see them all again. Kagome sighed and though to herself, 'Because it's been almost thirteen years since I came back from the old time, and never went back.'
Inari looked sadly out the window as Raiden left and she scraped a paw at the window, as if in warning. Even though he didn't see Inari's "warning" a sudden knot formed in his stomach, as if something bad was going to happen or that they'd get a big surprise. He looked down to the ground, thinking, and leading his sister and mother towards the shrine.
