Diclaimer: Dont own the get backers yet, nope not even Akabane , but definitely own the new chars.
The bell above the door to Honky Tonk rang .
A stranger-(ess) entered ,dressed uncannily like Dr Jackal . Every one turned to look at her except
Dr Jackal .
The aura -dark, brooding, reeking of blood , is what informed Akabane , that the lady was one of his kind if not
his creed. The scent was familiar , it claimed of kinship. It was auras like these, that acted as indentifiers, it was how
he had recognized Ban. And here was someone else who ........who somehow reminded him of .........a red flower.
Himiko scented the aura and wrinkled up her nose....... yech.it made her want to throw up.......sheesh,
this could girl could beat Akabane in his own game........Akabane was like a saint to this girl if Himiko was to judge by auras. She looked up and shock was writ large on her face.
Ban also felt it and scrutinised the girl over his shades. Whatever he may say to Akabane , he was of the kind......and
this girl was clearly worth noticing.He looked up.........uh oh.
Maguruma couldn't care less except ........oh my goddddd.
Ginji ,ofcourse was the most vocal......"D....Dr ..J..Ja..Ja...Jackal's tw.twinn.......Oh my God"
Poor Ginji.... as if One Dr Jackal wasn't enough, now there was a Miss Jackal.he was near to tears.
infact he was ready to promise anything.....just to get out of this nightmare.....anything.
The girl,lady....whatever was dressed exactly like Akabane......same pristine white shirt, black vest, black pants,
Black trenchcoat, ......except her gloves were black , and no hat.
Even her hair was the same, jet black , cut to the same length.The only major differnce was that she was a girl.
some comfort.....especially if she was like.........thought Himiko.
The girl looked around....her gaze locked on Akabane and she smiled......same freezing quality.
" Hello ,brother"
Akabane looked up.and smiled........"Good morning, sister"
The group looked at them..they were twins.so very alike in everything...almost.
"So, Jackal,you have a sister and a twin........lovely." this could be from Ban only,
" Brother, who is that ? He smells like us. ". Akabane looked at Ban and smiled meaningfully.
"He is Mido Ban , weilder of Jagan and snake bite"
The girl glanced at him....she obviously didn't think him worth it.
"Brother, why don't you kill him ?" a mild enquiry.
In response Akabane smiled serenely, "Patience , sister "
" Well, well , what do you know, like Brother,like sister......." Again Ban.
The girl glanced at him again......no hate in her eyes.chillingly calm.
Tension...straining of wills.
" Hello, how may i help you ? a voice was heard in the background.
everyone turned.
A shriek....."Oh my god, Akabane-san has a twin.....Paul come here "
Natsumi sounded happy, Paul,on the contrary, was feeling like Ginji.
" You look so alike , " continued Natsumi ,"Paul aren't they absolutely the same....? What's your name "
The girl smiled at her , "Yes, I am Akabane's twin, my name is Koroudu Rokto-korobi "
" What a strange name! I ve never heard it before. what does it mean "
"Well, it is from another language....it translates literally to mean Blood-flower. It means a flower ,which
has the colour of blood"
Surprise , surprise, thought Himiko.
" well, i dont know you yet ? Could you introduce me to the rest "
"Of course, I am Natsumi , and this ( she pointed to Paul) is Paul. The one in the white coat is Ban Mido, the one hiding behind the counter is Ginji Amano.Ginji , c'mon out Ginji , its rude, you know "
" That girl out there is Himiko and beside her is Mr Maguruma"
The girl looked at all of them, analyzing each of them.... slowly.
She sighed.......it seemed she was dissatisfied about something.
Akabane who had smiled through everything looked at his sister. They looked unblinking for a minute as if
communicating by telepathy.......they got up at the same time .
" Lady Poison , if you will excuse us, I will contact you later. Good Day"
" After you, sister"
Akabane followed Rokto out of the cafe.
Ban looked at Himiko. Ginji sighed in relief. Maguruma smiled.
Ban was thinking...well well Akabane has a twin .it seemed they were alike in their tastes as well, and if her aura
was anything to go by , she was just as dangerous as her brother if not more.
Himiko was surprised ......and scared... two dr jackals and life was not worth living anymore.
Maguruma couldn't care less.
Ginji felt like Himiko.only more acutely.......He was reviewing his misdeeds in his mind and wondering what
he had done so bad to deserve this.
Paul retired behind his newspaper.
Outside , brother and sister were walking in silence.
Soon they entered a small cafe like Honky tonk.They went to a booth and sat down.
" What brings you here sister "
" Father , if you must know"
" Since when did you become so obiedient , sister "
" Since you mellowed down so much"
" Where did you get that impression from "
"I have been asking ,"at this she smiled....her style of asking....brought new meaning to the word.
" I have been asking around, and what i've found disappoints me to say the least. " She shook her head.
" Even the aura around you. You used to reek of fear . Now ....... Father will be disappointed , very so.
the pride of the Koroudo clan .........what has gone wrong ? and look at the group around you"
" You disapprove of them , sister ? Those you were introduced to include some of the best ....Raitei,
the Thunder Emperor , Lady Poison , Jagan Master and Mr No-Brake "
" Hmmm, still these people don't stand a chance around you , which gives me further proof that you don't apply
the full strength of your abilities here. Brother , have you lost interest in life or something ? are you not bored "
" Indeed , entertainment is hard to come by ....." Akabane mused.
" How about a match with me "
" No"
" Akabane Koroudo refusing a match............are you crazy ?" There was the slightest inflection in tone. Otherwise there was no expression. Rokto like her twin , did not believe in excessive display of emotion .Any emotion.
" Sadly ......it would seem so"
" Any ways , it seems that the Koroudo twins are required ........again. If you will remember , our rival family,
, have issued a challenge ..........our chance to win back our .............The clan has chosen us from the new
generation. Father wants to meet us. Today ...at six.......at the...Mansion"
" I will be there....anything else "
" Our Mother and little Mia awaits you"
Akabane smiled. Rokto smiled.
Rokto departed...with grace and poise.
There was a faraway look in his eyes. He was remembering his mother ...yes ,it was so long ago.
And little Mia , was only ten years old when he had left. She had just begun training.
Akabane and Rokto had always been protective of their little sister.
For a while, the cold set expression on Akabane's face relaxed.........
Well , like it ? Rokto Korobi is the name of one of the works of Rabindranath Tagore.
it literally means bloody - flower, and sounded like the ideal name for a sister of Akabane.
I know , this fic seems to be centring around my dream guy....but the others will be coming .......
Review plz......if you have any suggetions abt the plot , tell me......thanx
