Chapter Two

The sun slowly began to peak through the windows in the Tachibana house, and streamed into the halls. Chitose was beginning to stir, her hand was outstretched as if looking for something. Her older brothers stood outside in the hall pearing in on the young child. Itsuki smiled at his sleeping sister before turning his gaze back to the two girls who stood in front of him. Yae and Sae Kurosawa, the twin daughters of the ceremony master. Chitose began moaning in her sleep causing Itsuki to glance back at her, Mutsuki did the same. Sae looked to Itsuki for a moment before she made her way over to the sleeping child. She took a seat by Chitose's side and layed her hand on the young girl's head, to try and calm the terrors that haunted her mind.

"Mama... papa... don't leave me." Chitose mumbled silently to herself. Sae's eyes softened as she gently stroked Chitose's head to try and calm to poor child. Itsuki peered inside and looked to Sae.

"Is she alright?" His voice held great concern for his younger sister.

"She'll be fine Itsuki-san." Sae replied in her calm and gentle tone of voice. "She's seems to just be having a nightmare, I am sure she'll be fine." Itsuki nodded as Sae gave him a reassuring smile before he retreated his head from the room to look at Yae, Sae's older sister.

"So it is settled." Itsuki whispered trying not to wake the young child in the room right next to where they all stood, or for Sae to overhear. Mutsuki, Itsuki, and Yae held their heads close together and all nodded with Itsuki's comment.

"Yes."

"It is agreed upon." Yae nodded to the alter twins before backing away a bit. After just a few seconds a scream came from Chitose's room and the three teenagers ran inside the room to see what was wrong.

"She woke so suddenly." Sae cried as she tried to calm a crying and shaking Chitose. Chitose clung to Sae as if ehr life depended on it and cried. Her eyes failed to tell her who was there but her ears were able to tell her.

"Itsuki, Mutsuki..." Chitose silently called to her brothers who came quickley to her side. Itsuki took her up in his arms and held her close to him.

"Shush not Chitose, everything is alright. We're here now." Mutsuki stroked his sister's head trying to calm the frightened child. Tears continued to pour from her eyes as she tried to calm down. She inhaled her brother's scent, and smiled a little. She felt protected from anything and everything, no matter what it was. After a few moments Chitose's breathing returned to normal and Itsuki placed her gently to the ground.

"Are you alright Chitose?" Sae's voice was soft as she asked to small child of her fright. Chitose merely nodded as her near-sightless eyes wandered to the doorway of her room. A figure stood there silently, Yae Kurosawa. Chitose tried not to shrink back in fear but failed in not flinching for a mere moment. She did not trust Yae, she didn't know why, but she felt as if there was something wrong with the teenage girl. Yae was far to secretive, or so it seemed to Chitose, she didn't seem to be someone that could be trusted.

"Mm-hm." Chitose mumbled as she managed a nod to Sae. She held an outstretched hand to Mutsuki as she continued to cling to Itsuki with the other as if her life would end if she let go. Mutsuki took hold of his younger sister's hand; he planted a soft kiss on the back of her hand. Mutsuki rubed her hand trying to calm the shaking child.

"Shhh. It's alright Chitose." Itsuki whispered softly into Chitose's ear. Chitose nodded; tears were streaming down her cheeks. Though her shaking was beginning to calm. Chitose sighed as she inhaled her brother's scent but only for a moment, because a second later she heard the movement of another person in the hall.

"Good morning father." Yae's voice floated in from the hall. The eldest sister entered the room followed by the ceremony master.

"Itsuki, Mutsuki... the time has come for the two of you to prepare for the ceremony." Itsuki nodded as he lowered Chitose to the ground. Mutsuki knelt down to Chitose and kissed her forehead and wrapped her into his arms.

"Mutsuki..." Chitose was confused, she could feel her shoulder beginning to grow damp from tears. "Mutsuki why are you crying?" Mutsuki pulled himself away from Chitose to look at his young sister.

"It's nothing Chitose, don't worry." Chitose nodded in response to Mutsuki's comment. "But Chitose Itsuki and I need you to do a favor for us." Chitose tilited her head to the side as Itsuki also knelt beside her.

"Chitose we need you to spend time at the Kurosawa house. Yae and Sae will look after you." Chitose nodded, though she did not want to leave her brothers. She tried as hard as possible to make sure she didn't shake at the thought of being in the same house as Ryoken Kurosawa.

"Don't worry Chitose, we'll take care of you." Sae smiled to the young girl. Chitose nodded again, this time to Sae.

"I understand." Chitose feigned a small smile for her brothers and pretended as if nothing was wrong; as if she was perfectly fine with leaving her home. Mutsuki gave her another kiss on the cheek before standing up and not saying another word.

"I will see you soon then okay Chitose?" Itsuki was the one who said this. Chitose nodded and waited for a moment for Mutsuki to say the same. Before a minute had even passed though Sae picked up Chitose in her arms and balanced the little girl on her hip.

"Come on Chitose." Sae walked out of the room. Chitose's mind began wandering.

"Why didn't Mutsuki say he'll see me soon too?" Chitose made sure she didn't cry, even though she now feared her brother would not return with Itsuki. "Sae?" Sae turned her head to look at Chitose. "Will my big brothers be okay?" Sae flinshed in her mind at the question.

"Of course they will Chitose, don't you worry." Sae tried not to let Chitose see the pain that she felt in her heart. She smiled to the little girl as they entered into the Kurosawa house.
