A/N: Well it's been a while now hasn't it? Thought I'd scurry and get this out tonight. You people raised a quite uproar so I decided happily to do the sequel I had in mind. I hope you like it, it'll probably be as long as the first one. Please review on how your liking it with any comments or opinions. Oh and yeah, read FORSAKEN first or… well I imagine it will just get terribly confusing…

Being Part I of II

"The truth is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should therefore be treated with extreme caution." – Albus Dumbledore

The little boys could hear the little girl crying. She cried almost every night.

He hated her. She was all his father every talked about.

"She's Sakura's daughter, she misses Sakura, that's why she always cries."

The other little boy said nothing. He felt bad for her, despite all that her father said about her.

"No you can't visit her. Why would you want to visit her?"

Aeris lay on the cold mat and tried hard to curl herself into as tight a ball as possible. The mean man had taken away her blanket because she had struck him.

It was foolish, she realized that now, all that hitting him had gotten her was no blanket.

Slowly she started to drift off to sleep, but just before things got dark she felt it.

A warm blanket was draped over her.

"Goodnight Sakurako." A voice whispered.

Aeris sat up with a start making her whole body tense.

As her eyes adjusted to the dark, she saw familiar shapes. Her dresser, the balcony door, Chuu flopped on her back. Slowly the feeling of 'home' was dawning on her. Instead of harsh gray walls, she awoke to a soothing blue, and instead of a harsh wool blanket she awoke in a puddle of silk.

Blanket…?

She clutched her head, trying to catch the tail of the dream but it had already begun to fade away.

After a few minutes she gave in and got up and got ready for school.

When Aeris arrived at school, she was surprised to find all the girl's clustered in small groups- not that that was so surprising- but all talking very fast in rapid, clumsy, often pronounced wrongly, English.

"What's going on?" She blinked when Takeshi appeared instantly at her elbow, grabbed it, and started to steer her through the clusters of girls.

"Twins, new students." He grunted and finally gave up being polite. "Would you lot move out of the walkway! You know that thing you walk on, not stand on!"

The girls glared at Takeshi before smiling slightly at Aeris. "Sorry Aeris, go ahead."

Smiling politely she stepped past all the girls, who closed the circle, blocking Takeshi from her.

"Hey! What about me!"

Laughing quietly to herself she hurried on to class only to be flanked by Daisuke and Riku.

"So have you seen them?" Riku asked and Aeris, assuming instantly she was talking about the twins shook her head.

"Why are all the girls speaking in English?" She questioned Riku.

"Well you mean besides the fact that they're stupid? Oh well, the boys apparently speak English very well."

Aeris face must have showed her confusion because Daisuke cleared his throat and said, "The twins. They want to impress them I guess."

"Oh. They must be very attractive then." Aeris said dismissively, walking ahead of the two to where Satoshi was calmly eating an apple by a tree.

"Morning." He smiled gently at her and produced from his pocket another bright Fuji apple.

"Thank you." She beamed at him and took a bite, surveying all the students hanging around the grounds instead of being in school. "Scratch that Riku, they must be heart stopping attractive."

Satoshi frowned and took another bite. "Who's attractive?"

"The twins." Daisuke said.

Satoshi blinked before pointing to Riku with a confused look.

"Well…" Daisuke stuttered. "They are but… they're talking about the new students."

Aeris grinned and explained. "There are two new boys who happen to be twins."

"Who also happen to be stunningly attractive." Riku added.

"Mesmerizing."

"No, jaw dropping."

"Forget that, jaw breaking!"

Daisuke and Satoshi did not look amused.

"Where are they?" Satoshi asked and Aeris looked up at him innocently.

"How should we know? We don't know what they look like."

It was by pure accident that Aeris saw the twins at all.

They'd managed to escape the hoards of girls by running and one of them slammed into her shoulder making all the library books she'd been carrying go flying.

At first, Aeris thought she was actually seeing double before it hit her.

'Twins… two… identical… duh.'

They were both tall with black hair and blue eyes. The only real difference she could see was that one let his hair hang in front of his face while the other styled it to the side.

And they did happen to be quite attractive.

Feeling her face burn Aeris quickly scrambled to pick up the books. "Sorry I couldn't see, the books were stacked so high…"

"It's our fault, we weren't paying attention." The one who styled his hair to the side smiled and bent down to help her pick up the books while the other, after apparently debating it, according to the look on his face, outstretched his hand for her to take.

"Oh thank you." Shifting the books she took his hand and he hauled her to his feet bringing them eye to eye.

The twin looked so startled to be in such close contact with her he staggered back before slowly taking the books from her hands to carry like his brother.

His brother frowned at him. "Hi, I'm Hiro. This is my brother, Arima."

Arima nodded stiffly to her and she fought down the urge to give him a look. "… I'm Aeris. Aries Shimensoka."

The twins said nothing and Aeris was about to say something to ease the tension when she saw Satoshi standing near the entrance to the library.

"Satoshi!" She called happily, and he walked out to meet them halfway. "Guys, this is Satoshi-"

"Her boyfriend." He took two thirds of the books in one hand and grasped hers with the other, tugging her into the library behind him.

Once they were inside he put down the library books on the table and kicked out a chair for her and him she spoke.

"Satoshi… that wasn't nice,"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I don't like them."

"Satoshi," Aeris tried to keep the amusement out of her voice. "You don't like anybody."

"I like you."

Closing her eyes, she asked whatever god was listening for patience. "Still you shouldn't be so rude, do you even know them?"

He hadn't let go of her hand. "Don't want to."

At her look he sighed and leaned back in his chair. "I get a bad vibe from them."

"Come on Satoshi, they're probably harmless."

"Yeah, that's what people say about Takeshi."

"She's her, reincarnated," Arima drummed his fingers on the bench next to his brother.

"She is her daughter Arima. They're bound to look alike." Hiro rolled his eyes.

"But identical?"

"We're identical." Hiro snapped. "What does it matter?"

Arima looked away. "It doesn't."

"She's gotta pay either way. It's all her fault."
