the memory

"Rin-Chan, tell me about your past… You never fully explained it to me, since we have half a day left, we can still talk," Kawaru smiled. "But only if you want to tell me, but if it hurts you to tell me, then you don't have to," he added. "No, I'll tell you…" Rin replied. She began to tell her story.

Flashback. Well it began when I was young, as you know Kamiya family was split in two then to a third. I was in the branch family. My uncle leader of the whole clan and the main family was not able to get an heir. But I was the only child from the branch, so I was chosen for the heir. Saori wasn't part of the main or branch, they wanted nothing to do with the main or branch so they created the cousins. Branch is always the next door neighbor for the main family. My father was killed by his own brother, so that my uncle could take me. To me it looked that way… The stupid rules of the Kamiya Clan. So I was taken in to the Main Family. I was 6 years old then… My uncle wasn't really nice, he was always angry to have the heir to me. He wanted me to become strong, stronger… So he had me train every single day and night. I didn't have friends. After few years, I began to act cold. I even stopped crying. But I decided to leave my clan, and they didn't like it at first. But they let me afterwards, after they gotten information on a Ja' aku Hane Clan survivor. That's you… They wanted me to kill you, so they let me move out, until I could get close to you… Even though when we were in the same school, I had no killing intentions. So I pretended I've never seen you. The real reason we were all ordered to kill you was because of a stupid fortune. Yuki, Maki, Ai, Saori of course, and some other clans, which I don't really know of wanted to kill you because the fortune teller said that all the clan's would have only females because they will be sure to be married to the survivor of the Ja' aku Hane Clan. But we really couldn't kill you; I didn't like you at first. But I slowly had feelings. The fortune teller was powerful at that time; her grand daughter was the one who attacked me with poison. So you and I…

"Well, that was a long story, what's her name?" Kawaru asked. "I really don't know, but she has a name called Akui of the Poison…" Rin replied. "She's pretty known for even for her age," she added. "Why is that?" Kawaru asked. "I don't really know, but I think it's because she has more IQ then any regular person. She developed her own poison," Rin replied. "Why did she attack you?" Kawaru asked. "Something happened few years ago, I met her… I wanted to ask her grandmother was all that true. But I saw her, but then she accidentally spread poison that I breathed in which made me can't talk, see, or hear for three days. I had a very bad temper then. So I went and fault her, but her fighting skills were low, I cut her in the back, and her face… That left a scar," Rin explained. "Oh, so she wants revenge," Kawaru said. "As so it seems, but the last time I met her she must've cured the scars because she showed me the places I cut were all gone…" Rin said. "Well it doesn't matter, as long as we're cautious, we won't fall for any poison," Kawaru laughed. "Well she can go anywhere, and she can be anywhere, so we have to be cautious!" Rin exclaimed. "Okay… What else to do now?" Kawaru asked. "I don't know," Rin answered.

"Hey," Rin's face began red. "What is it?" Kawaru replied. "Well, do you still remember that night?" Rin asked. "Of course," Kawaru cried. "Sorry," he added. Rin shook her head. "There's nothing to be sorry, I always think about it. It was actually the best day I ever had, making love… Even though I was the one who did everything, it's because you were panicking… But you were there, so my life was spared…" Rin smiled. Kawaru scratched his head and started to laugh. "Why do you always laugh and smile?" Rin asked. "Well, if I'm sad won't it make everyone that cares about me sad? Even if I'm sad, what's the use? It won't get me any happier… So I just smile and laugh," Kawaru answered. "I never thought I would have so many enemies," Kawaru stated. "Well, some people are scared of you so they want to kill you, and some want to take use of your power…" Rin explained. "Well that's true," Kawaru replied.

"Is it me or is it getting hot?" Kawaru asked. "No me too," Rin started to breath harder and her heart started to thump harder. "Wait what are you doing?" Kawaru asked. "I have no control over my body," Rin said. She was taking off her Hakama. "Shimatta, this is… Akui's poison…" Rin stated. "We've been hit with the same poison, except I have no control over my body, she used an extra poison on me," Rin said. "What should we do?" Kawaru asked. "You still have to ask it's the same thing that happened last time," Rin blushed. "Hahahaha," a laugh came. "Well, well… So much for cautious!" Akui chuckled. "You heard everything?" Rin asked. "Of course, hahahaha. Now it seems you both have to do it again? This time I'll be gladly watching…" Akui stated. "Come out, you coward…" Rin started to move closer to Kawaru, and she went on top of him. "What are you doing, Rin?" Kawaru asked. "I can't control my body," Rin replied. "Ahh," Rin's inside began to burn, so is Kawaru's. "I'm helping you yet you don't want it cured? Hahaha, and look woops I blew the wrong poison, you only have 3 hours before you both burn to death in the inside…" Akui laughed. Something was thrown on the floor. Akui's cell phone rang. "Well looks like I can't watch you two, since I just received a call, so I'm going to go. That's the antidote to cure one of you. And I broke off the control. Both of you having the same poison then curing it the same way like last time would have killed you two… Just some useful tips, I'll be back," Akui disappeared. Rin wore back her Hakama. "You take it," Kawaru said. "No you," Rin replied. "If we keep fighting no one would get healed. We only have 3 hours," Kawaru stated. "But I don't want to how about you?" Rin said. "My life isn't important right now," Kawaru said. Rin slapped him. "Your life is important," Rin then opened the cap of the bottle and jugged it down his throat. "You…" Kawaru choking. "Don't worry," Rin started to cough, and she fainted. "Oh no, what should I do? What should I do?" Kawaru wondered. He was going back to his dormitory back to his room. He carried Rin on his back and ran.

When he arrived, he hurried up to the room, and locked the door. He placed her on his bead. "Again with this…" Kawaru said. "I have no choice, I'm sorry," he added. Rin woke up and shook her head. "It's okay," Rin said. Kawaru went on the bed and started to take off Rin's Hakama. Then he kissed her in the lips, and pulled the cover on top of them.

Few hours later, it was night. Rin was better. Then the door was being unlocked. Maki, Yuki, and Saori thought of having dinner at their room, but when they came in. Maki and Yuki screamed. Kawaru woke up. "No, this isn't what you think it is," Kawaru hesitated. Rin woke up afterwards, she was hugging Kawaru. When his blanket slightly moved, they knew Rin was naked. Rin pulled it back up to cover Kawaru and her. Kawaru had his tank top on and his boxers. "What is this image that I'm seeing?" Maki asked. "KAWARU!" Yuki yelled. "Calm down you two, they haven't explained, yet…" Saori smiled. "I-I-I… N-n-no… This really isn't how it looks like…" Rin struggled.

They walked in and closed the door. They sat on the other side of the table to wait for them to explain. Kawaru wore back his pant, and his white button shirt. Rin wrapped his blanket around her. "Well this is the second time that happened isn't it?" Saori smiled. "SE-CO-ND!" Maki and Yuki screamed. "The first time was to save her life, as you know Akui of the poison?" Saori stated. "Uh, I remember her. The fortune lady's grand daughter…" Maki said. "You should know her poison very well," Saori stated. "That's true, there are only two antidotes for that one it's either what they did or get it from Akui… Getting it from her must've been impossible so I guess…" Maki said. "B-b-but… Kawa-Chan, wahhhh!" Yuki cried. "Let them explain, Maki stared. "Well, we were caught by the same thing again, this time we only had 3 hours…" Kawaru explained. "Hmph," Yuki looked away. "No wonder, you were smiling and didn't jump to conclusions, Saori-San," Maki said. "If I knew Kawaru and Rin long enough, they don't seem like the person that would do it for fun," Saori winked. "That's true," Maki replied. "Sorry everyone, I must've made you all upset and angry," Rin turned around. "No, it's okay… But what's that black thing on your back shoulder?" Yuki said. Rin pointed glared at Kawaru and pointed towards him. "Kawa-Kun, you again…" Maki sighed. "You never tell us anything…" Yuki cried. "I want to but it only happened this week, and you weren't here until today…" Kawaru shrugged. "Explain to us!" Yuki exclaimed. Maki nodded. "I have one too, I'm so grateful for that day!" Saori smiled. "Did you and her too?" Yuki yelled. "Nonono, stop thinking like that, to think you would know me of all people," Kawaru was disappointed. "Sorry, I love you so much that I can't stop jumping to conclusions," Yuki cried. "Well explain," Maki asked. "It's the sign of immortality…" Kawaru said.

Kawaru started to explain. Half an hour later, Maki and Yuki were jealous. "BITE ME FIRST!" Yuki asked. "No me," Maki cried. Kawaru sighed. "Just do it to them, like you did it to me…" Saori glared. "Okay, okay…" Kawaru said. "Why are there so many girls here?" Kawaru thought. Kawaru began to transform, the eclipse came up which darkened the sky, black horns grew from his head, his hair grew longer, his eyes started to glow, and black wings came out of his back. Kawaru bit Maki and Yuki. Kawaru's heart started to throb afterwards and he fainted. The sky cleared up, and they all started to yell, "Kawaru…"
