Kyo's Daughter, Shinigami's Heir
by Kagura Tora
Chapter One: Black Death
Black was Kyoto's favorite color. Pink was Kyoko's favorite color. Kyoto had dropped ballet when she turned eight. Kyoko had dropped martial arts when she turned eight. Kyoto picked up electric guitar when she was twelve. Kyoko picked up flute when she was twelve. The twins were entirly different. Kyoto was a tomboy, and Kyoko was a goody-two-shoes. Yes, they were different, but both of them loved their "Uncle" Duo. In fact, they both wore their hair in a long braid down their back in honor of their "uncle". Actually, although he was their favorite "uncle", they had only seen him twice. The sixteen year old girls had first met him when they were five at a birthday party for their mother's friend Aki. Duo was their mother's friends boyfriend. Kyoko still remembered how that was also the night she learned what being "drunk" and "having a hangover" were. The girls no longer had their two o'clock in the morning bathroom break. When they reached the age of eight they decided it was actually a bad idea although they still got up at two to talk about school and what not. They had nicknamed it the gossip hour. (A/N: Guess which twin came up with that name? Yup, Kyoko. Kyoto hates gossip, but the name caught.)
The second visit of Duo was when the girls were thirteen. He was a birthday present for the girls who hadn't seen him in a long time. Kyoto and Kyoko had their own rooms by the second visit. Kyoto's room was black, Kyoko's was pink. Duo had also come with a proposition for the girls. But he also relized that Kyoko was too much like Relena to actually go through with the proposition. So he had Relena Peacecraft take Kyoko Sohma shopping to distract the girl while he had filled Kyoto in on the details. Kyoto agreed.
Now it is three years after the proposition was made. Kyoto is the lead singer and guitarist in a band called Black Death. The back up guitar is played by Chris Yuy. He is the same age as Kyoto. Bass guitar is played by Jack Noin. He is three years older that Kyoto. Drums are played by Lani Chang. She is three years younger than Kyoto. Three years ago the band had been put together. Tonight was their first concert at a place that got large crowds. They had been playing at the town's Town Day for the past two years, but tonight they were at a teen club. (That means there's no alcohol, cigarettes, or drugs, but it's like being in a bar.) It was the most popular place for teens in the town. And they were on the list for tonights concert. Black Death was about to leave the hometown box.
What the band members didn't know was that this concert was also a test. Each of the band members always carried a weapon unless they were in school. Chris had a gun that was in the sole of his shoe, as well as ones straped to his shins. Kyoto carried two, one on each shin on shin straps. She also carried knives shiethed to her back that she could whip out quickly in an emergency. (Duo had gotten Catherine Bloom to teach Kyoto how to throw the blades.) Jack carried guns strapped to his shins and two guns in a cross halter on his chest. This was covered up by his leather jacket. Lani carried a shukusen, or bladed fan. She also wore a black trench coat to cover up her cross halter with her two guns. She didn't have a shin halter because it would show since she had a tendancy to wear black mini skirts. As close as the band members were, none of them knew the others carried weapons.
A rebel group from an L4 colony had found out that the preventers had been having four new teens trained to help them. They decided to try to see how strong they were. Heero Yuy had intercepted the message that had been encoded into the rebel groups website. He was concerned, but because of the excitement that was shown on his son's face when he talked about the upcoming concert, Heero didn't have the heart to tell Chris. Instead he told the four other gundam pilots about the message he had decoded. The five of them were going to the concert. They also brought Preventers that they knew could fight. Sally, Noin, Zechs, Une, and Hilde all showed up. Trowa brought Catherine warning her about the battle. Catherine just said that she wanted to be there to protect her "younger brother".
Kisa, Kyo, Kyoko, and Heero Sohma all came to see their daughter/sister in her first major performance. Heero was now nineteen. Heero was sensing danger but tried to ignor it. Kisa also sensed the danger, but she knew about her daughters training as a preventer agent. Kisa had decided to join her daughters training and knew how to use a gun and get correct aim, too. She even joined in her daughter's knife throwing training, but had left after fifteen minutes due to her fear of sharp objects. Kyo had taught Kisa martial arts when she was still in high school. The only family member who didn't really know how to protect herself was Kyoko. Kisa had one gun that she hid in the sole of her shoes. The other shoe held extra ammunition. Kisa was ready for anything, or so she thought.
In total, eighteen people in the teen club were prepared for any fight that broke out. Out of those eighteen, only eleven knew about the rebel group that was trying to test the abilities of the four new preventers. Either it would be a disaster, a false call, or another success for the Preventers.
A/N: How do you like the sequel so far? Emi will come in a little later, as well as Yumi and the rest of Kisa's gang! Hold on tight, cause it's gonna be a bumpy ride!
