Chapter 5 -News and Tomorrow
"Oh nothing really. Just found an old mirror I can use to myself" Kaoru quickly said.
"Very resourceful. Saves me the trouble of buying you one. Nice job" Tamyoi smiled and sat on the bed, patting a spot next to her, meaning to sit down.
Both Mani and Kaoru responded and sat along the side of the bed, tempting not to make their mother unsuspicious for their actions. There was a pause, a long silence between them, until Tamyoi began to hum to herself, thinking of how she should tell her daughters her news. The teens looked at one another, confused, and eager to know what was up with their mother. What ever it was, it seemed to be nothing to do with the mirror. Mani began to stroke her pony tail, making sure it was nice and neat for her. Kaoru kept twisting her foot half way and back on the ground, biting her lip, and beginning to sweat. Finally with not a moment to spare, Tamyoi jumped up and stood right in front of her daughters. Both of them were startled and sat up straight until their muscles gave out and relaxed them.
"Girls I have some important news" Tamyoi began.
"Don't tell me you are going on a date again!" Mani crossed her arms.
"Yeah, the last guy took you to a strip club" Kaoru made a face and shivered. "What a creep he was!" Kaoru sighed.
"He had no respect for women. I can't believe you even agreed to go out with him. Imagine the embarrassment you suffered. You couldn't even look at a hot guy for months!" Mani stated.
"I would have to defiantly die if I wasn't able to look at another man. Uh, what torture" Kaoru agreed.
"Not to mention when a guy that is really cute, talks to you, you won't be able to even look at him and totally blow it" Mani rolled her eyes and Tamyoi began to tap her feet in annoyance.
"Are you girls done?" Tamyoi placed her hands on her hips and her foot tapped even more.
The girls stopped their babbling and stared at their mother's serious face. They new what was coming next, after they made their statements.
"Listen here and listen now, I'm not going out with a guy. Yes he was a creep and all but making me look like a fool doesn't make it right to start up a conversation" her foot relaxed and stayed on the ground.
"Then what else is there?" the sisters blinked with confusion.
"I'm going on a cruise!" Tamyoi smiled and her eyes were closed as she placed her right arm on her cheek.
"What!" Kaoru jumped from her spot.
"Wait? You are going on a cruise? What about us?" Mani asked as one of her eye brows rose and the other one sank.
"Well it's for my job. All staff that has worked double shift for three years, receives a free get away cruise for a month!" Tamyoi replied.
"Yes! Now I can go back to the Feudal Era, straight things out, and come back before mom comes home" Kaoru smirked at his thought and hugged her mom for her achievement.
"What are you so happy about?" Mani whispered as she crossed her arms.
"Shhhhh!" Kaoru gave a deadly glance.
"Will you girls be a dear and come to the store with me to buy you a month supply of food. I'm leaving tomorrow" Tamyoi broke from the hug and headed out the door and then she was gone.
"Well?" Mani still wanted to know.
"It gives me a month to help "my people" and come back before mom comes home" Kaoru sat on the bed once again.
"Do you really think a month will be long enough? Consider you are working with demons!" Mani shouted and Kaoru quickly covered her mouth with her hand.
"I actually don't know. I'm hoping to do what I can and I can't, I have to leave them" Kaoru's smile disappeared and looked down at the floor.
"Psst" a voice was heard and both sisters looked around in wonderment.
"Over here" another one was heard and this time they looked at the mirror.
"Rukk? Rakoru?" Kaoru walked towards the mirror and both boys came through the mirror.
"Are you coming now? Or what?" Rakoru was always the impatient one.
"We can't. Well we can but just not yet" Kaoru implied as she smiled at Rukk and he smiled back.
"Tomorrow our mom is leaving so we will come then. We promise" Mani giggled as Rakoru took her hand.
"We have to go now!" Rukk pulled Rakoru away and pushed him through the mirror.
"You don't have to go" Mani's bottom lip flipped a little.
"We have too! You're mom is coming" Rukk lastly said and disappeared within the mirror's reflection glass.
"Are you girls just going to sit there and let me pick what you girls are going to eat? Or do you want to pick?" Tamyoi peered in and then they were off.
The day passed and night came. The cold crispy air, kept outside as the windows stayed shut and locked. The cold of the air created fog on the windows and the outside world was hard to be seen. Kaoru laid towards the mirror and stared at it for the longest time. She still didn't know what to make of this. She a princess? A savior? Passing through time by a mirror? Come on now this was just crazy but still it was very real. She covered herself with her blanket and she practically buried half her face into her pillow. The window curtains remained shut and little air seeped through the closed window. They were cheap and the cold always found a little crack to seep in. She finally fell asleep and the night went on quickly like per usual.
The sun came up and morning broke over the horizon. Kaoru and Mani got up at the same time as their alarm clocks were set off. They got ready and met their mom in the kitchen. Her bags and suit cases were all stacked at the front door and she was running around like a maniac. She made them breakfast and they ate in silence, trying not to make too much talk so that their mother wouldn't forget something. It was nine o'clock on the dot and they said their good-byes to their mother and she was off in a cab.
"Well there she goes!" Kaoru jumped up and down with excitement.
"Yeah I know!" Mani joined her. "Let's go! We have to get our own packing done" Mani implied.
"For what?" Kaoru didn't think what her sister had thought of.
"We're going to be in the Feudal what ever century, we need to pack cloths, make-up, hair stuff, and all that" Mani stated.
"Oh yeah" Kaoru laughed and then they got on packing.
10:35 A.M.
"Ready?" Kaoru was still doubting that her sister could possibly pass through the mirror.
"Hell yeah!" Mani replied and grabbed her book bag and purse.
"Isn't this perfect. Not too many things to bring" Kaoru said proudly but was ignored.
"Come on!" Mani rushed her and Mani went right through the mirror!
"Well I be damned! She actually passed!" Kaoru was shocked and then entered afterwards.
"I told you I could pass through the damn mirror" Mani taunted.
"Oh shut up" Kaoru murmured and they came out of the other end of the mirror.
"What took you lovely girls so long" Rakoru winked at Mani as soon as she caught her eye on him.
"Just had to see our mother leave, pack, and to just jump into a time that has the most cutest boys" Mani was being pathetic again.
"Dumbo" Kaoru mumbled.
"Kaoru we must leave now. Dimowki is awaiting for you to come back to us and your sister" Rukk implied.
"What are you talking about? Master Dimowki doesn't know about her sister coming here. Does he?" Rakoru's hairs stuck up like a sore thumb.
"What are you scared of?" Rukk asked his brother in concern.
"Never mind" Rakoru looked away and they started for the cave.
"Isn't this exciting!" Mani was full of energy and everyone just shook their heads.
"Oh yes exciting. Especially when you get chased by wolves!" Kaoru referred to when she got chased herself.
To be continued...
Sorry for all the talking but this is all I have to offer for now. I promise there will be more paragraphs in the next chapter .
