Chapter Nine:
"What?"
"Before Kaoru was assigned to you I sure you know she was trained well. In fact she was very good with her powers but it got a little out of hand. She was mad about something and she wanted to spend time alone. Once I went to check on her things were a mess. I tried to talk to her but all she said was that…it was all her fault. Later when she calmed down the elders and I asked her what was wrong. It turned out that..she had a twin named Kasura."
"Twin?"
"Kasura was visiting her grandparents at the time when their mother died. Once Kasura came back the two never left each other. Before Kaoru's mother died she told Kaoru to take care of her younger sister and that's exactly what she did, she kept her mothers promise. The two were very close always standing up for each other and finishing each others sentence like twins would do. Unfortunatly Kasura suicide by jumping off a building in school."
"What? Why?"
"…That Kaoru wouldn't tell me..maybe if we find her you can calm her down. She always listens to you and maybe if you can find a way to ask her what happened without hitting the spot."
"How are you going to get out?"
"Easy teleport out."
-Different View-
Kaoru flew near a lake and found the angel. She looked at the person angrily as her feet touched the ground.
"I knew you would come."
"You're making a big mistake. Don't you ever hurt my friend again!" the angel slowly moved his hand to his mask and took it off. Her eyes widen.
"Enshi!" In Kaoru's hand an energy ball formed and she aimed it at Enshi. Enshi put a force field and flew to the ground smirking.
"My my. So eager of you to end this. What's wrong? I thought you liked me?" Kaoru sent another energy ball straight to him but then it reflected back to her making her put up a force field as the energy ball exploded making smoke. Once Kaoru blinked Enshi was already charging to ward her. Kaoru raised her hands quickly and took water out of the lake and aimed it towards Enshi who was struck down by it. Kaoru quickly sent another energy ball and this time it hit Enshi making him go further to the ground.
"Did you really think you would beat me if I was the strongest angel? You are foolish." She knew he wasn't going to give up and was ready for an attack and just as she predicted Enshi came up flying fast. The thing Kaoru had not expected was that Enshi was carrying a sword and he managed to slash her arm as she dodged him. Kaoru looked at her arm then back up. Enshi came charging to wards her and this time Kaoru was fully aware. She knocked down his sword and stopped him from pushing her. Then Kaoru formed fire balls on both hands and aimed at Enshi sending him down to the ground. Kaoru put her hands out forming yet another energy ball and combined them together. Soon the energy ball got bigger and bigger. Kaoru took one last look at Enshi, as she was about to throw it a voice called out.
"Kaoru! Stop!" Kaoru paused and put a force field around Enshi so he wouldn't try to escape. Then she looked down and found Shinji.
"Kaoru if you let that energy ball go your going to destroy half of Tokyo!" Kaoru just looked back at Enshi.
"So?"
"Kaoru!" another voice yelled out. It was Kenshin. ", Don't let your darker side take a hold of you. If you let that go you would kill me also and …I don't think Kasura would be proud of that." Kaoru's white eyes widen and slowly she went back to normal still carrying the energy ball. The force field around Enshi disappeared and so did her energy ball. She only stared at Enshi who was now groaning a bit. He looked up at her with no energy left then teleported. Kaoru slowly flew down to the ground and there she sat on her knees looking at the ground. Kenshin and Shinji quickly ran over to her.
"Kaoru, are you all right?"
"….If only I'd known she was going to kill herself….I would have gone with her..Kenshin….I'm sorry." She then teleported. Shinji sighed.
"Should we follow her?" Kenshin asked. Shinji shook his head negatively.
"Let her have some time to think. I'm sure that's what she wants. For now..we just have to wait."
-flash back-
"All right girls. Welcome to your first day of college." Her father said stopping the car. At that time the girls were the age of sixteen. They were very smart for their age and both ended up skipping two grades. The two girls at the back looked out the right side window and saw their new school. The two freshmen stepped out of the car with their uniforms. They knew there would be gossips about them looking alike and probably people would get confused which was which. They both adjusted to the school and made lots of new friends.
"Kaoru come on! We're going to be late for Kendo!" Kasura said.
"Oh stop worrying. We're the teachers. Besides, I don't think they mind at all." Kasura sighed in defeat.
"You know. I think your kind of right there. Hey can I see the list of people who made cuts?" Kaoru swung her backpack to her front, opened it and took out a folder and gave it to Kasura. She opened the folder and looked at the students names. There were two columns, 18 names were at the left side while at the right hand side there were 5 student names. Kasura poked Kaoru at the side and motioned her to look at the paper.
"Oh that. As you know the one on the left are all boys. Well if you haven't noticed all five of them were the boys that wouldn't stop asking us out and we had to beat the crap out of them," Kasrua made an 'O' sign with her mouth. ", so I figured when they signed up they only did it to impress us. Or at least try to impress us." Kasura rolled her eyes. Once they got to the lockers they changed in to the uniform and went in to the training room.
"So what are you going to do with the guys?"
"Well since I'm so nice I'm not going to embarrass them. I'll just simply say that it'll be hard work and I'm sure they'll leave."
"Okay everyone. I congratulate you for making it in. But my sister and I must tell you it's going to be hard work. We will make you run laps out side the track do a certain amount of strokes with your bokkens and battle against each other. You've joined this because you want to learn and compete with other schools. If you joined just for goofing off or you are not committed to doing this please leave. We understand clearly, so do not be ashamed and whatever happens in here will stay in here." after Kasura was finished talking the five boys gave each other glances and looked up at the two. Kaoru looked back at them and gave them a death glare. Then they left.
"Well then. Anyone else? All right. Go get your bokkens." The students chatted among themselves as they each got a bokken. ", you know. Giving them a death glare wasn't fair." Kasura said as she got her bokken.
"They were going to stay. If they had stayed they would have fought against me. I only did that because we were serious." Someone then tapped her on the shoulder. Kaoru looked up to find a very handsome guy standing in front of her.
"May I help you?" he was about to say something but then noticed the girls looked alike.
"Yes we are twins." Kasura said laughing a bit as Kaoru smiled a bit.
"Oh…I thought I was just seeing double. Well anyways I was hoping you knew where art class was? I'm new here."
"It's the fourth door from here. Usually it would say art class but someone pulled it off. By the way I'm Kaoru."
"And I'm Kasura." She said bowing.
"I'mYoshima. Thanks for helping me out." He looked up at the students waiting to be taught while others practice against each other. " So are you two waiting for your sensei?"
"Oh. No. We are the senseis."
" wow! Really? You two look young. How old are you two?"
"Sixteen." They said at the same time.
"Really? You two must be smart then. Freshmen right," they nodded ", cool. I'm a Sophmore." Yoshima looked at his watch. "I really shouldn't delay your class. Sorry for the time. Oh ya so lets see if I can get this right. You're Kasura." She nodded ", and your Kaoru." he then winked at her making her blush.
"Well finally someone got which names were which." Kasura said with a smile. Yoshima smiled back softly.
" Well of course. We each have are unique ways even if they're twins. Ah…here I go again wasting your time. This time I'll leave for sure." He gave a bow and then left.
-at lunch-
"You know. I like Yoshima-san's personality." Kaoru said as she drank your juice.
" Ya. Me too. Hey look. There he is now. Should I invite him over?" Kaoru nodded. "Yoshima-san! over here!" he turned his head, smiled and walked over setting down his tray of food.
"Well it's certainly nice to see you two again."
"So how's school so far?" Kasura asked.
" Better than I expected. Although I have one class left before I get outta here. You see when I got my schedule they apparently forgot to make changes so my art class is my last period."
"Ha ha! That sucks for you and Kaoru! Kaoru also has art class but I don't! so I get to go home! Yay for me!" Kaoru rolled her eyes.
"Ignore her. She gets high off of sugar and she ate ice cream today." Yoshima laughed.
"What? You get high off of sugar also! Your worse than me!"
"What!" Kaoru started to get angry ", no I'm not!" the two started arguing as Yoshima laughed nervously.
'not to self never be a witness in a cat fight.' Then the bell rang.
"Well! That's the bell! Bye Kaoru! Have fun! See you later Yoshima-san!" he waved to her then looked back at Kaoru.
"Well since we have the same class shall we go together?"
"Sure." The two got to their classes and soon the teacher gave out instructions and they painted.
"Hey Yoshima-san?"
"Yoshima."
"Huh?"
"Just call me Yoshima." He said with a smile. Kaoru's heart started to beat a little faster.
'he has such a nice smile.' Kaoru smiled back. " okay then. Yoshima. I have a question. How did you guess are names right?"
"Oh that. Well when I said you two were unique I really meant it. I could tell the difference by your eyes."
"Our eyes? But they're the same color." She said wetting the paint brush and adding another color on it.
"Ya they are but Kasura's eyes are lighter than your's. Your's is a deep blue just staring at them can make you lost forever." Kaoru put down her paint brush blushing and looked at Yoshima. He was looking at her with a gentle expression. Soon again she found her heart speeding up.
"Thank you…" she whispered coyly. He was nice. Kaoru new there was something different about him. She could tell that they were going to be good friends. And they did become good friends. Kaoru, Kasura, and Yoshima got to know each other and became best friends. The only problem was that Kaoru new her sister liked Yoshima and so did she as for Yoshima, well he was confused with his feelings. But he still acted normal around them and supported them. But things somehow were falling apart. Mr. Kamiya started having heart problems making the two sisters worry. The two tried there best in school but Kasura was way too worried about her father's health and slowly started taking more extra classes to keep her mind off it. But it only made her problems worse. She was now presidents of some club and people asked her to do favors. Kaoru tried to tell her to slow down on her activities but she couldn't help feel guilty if she quit most of her classes and clubs. Kasura slowly began to change. It was all because of pressure. The only person she felt free with was Kaoru and Yoshima especially Yoshima. Kaoru loved her sister dearly so she let Kasura have Yoshima. That way she could calm down a bit and relax.
"Kaoru." Kasura whispered softly as she watched Kaoru sleep peacefully. ", I know we promised each other we would always be together….but…I cant help it anymore. There's this voice in my head. It's always persuading me to end my worries. I try..i try to ignore it but things just keep getting worse. I know you like Yoshima and you gave him up for my happiness. But how am I supposed to be happy if you're not happy?" Kasura gave a sad smile as she watched her sister. ", I've made my decision…I pray you do not blame yourself cause I know you will. This voice won't go away…it's driving me crazy. I'm sorry Kaoru. You've been a good sister to me. I love you and papa very much."
-end of flashback-
"…Kasura…I've tried to hide these memories for so long not even Kenshin knows this and I feel very bad." Kaoru looked up at a collage school. She slowly walked to the top of the building. Her eyes were half open as she walked to the edge of the building. "Kenshin…I'm not worthy to be your guardian."
"Heh.so you chose to follow your sisters footsteps."
