Haruka looked up at the red burning sun. Judging on the sun's position it was about mid-day. It was just
another average day in Suna for her. She was doing the daily shopping in the market place when she
passed a local shop and looked at the reflection off of the window. It was staring back at her like a memory
of her past. She saw a girl with tangled bleach blond hair. Even though her eyes were still blue they were
full of pain and the color was dull. Her face was halfway clean but had a small dirt smudge on her cheek.
She looked away and quickly walked to where she was heading. Her life had been a mess ever since her
parents passed away. She lived only with her sister and went to school rarely. She took on responsibilities
no 16 year-old had ever done. She did the shoppingcleaning, and a part time job.
"That would be 12 gold coins, young lady. Haruka fished through her pouch and managed to produce a 10
gold coin.
"Um...sorry sir I only have a...a 10 gold coin."
"Well..I'm sorry miss but-"
"Please Egor I'm a daily here, can't I just pay you back later."
"Well..Haruka I guess it's on me because I knew your parents."
"Thank you Egor." The girl ran through the streets to the small little apartment that her sister and her lived.
Running up the 2 flights off stairs and flinging the door open she yelled into the area.
"Yukiko, I'm home!"
"Haruka?" A women poked her head out from behind a wall and smiled.
"Do you have the food?"
"Yes, we managed by this time!"
"Wonderful!" Yukiko came fully out from behind the wall. She could see that her sister was wearing her
work uniform. She had the same hair as Cara and the same dull blue eyes. The only difference is that she
was taller and the angle of their faces were different.
"You going to work sis?"
"Yea, actually I was offered another job."
"What?"
"Don't worry Haruka, this job pays more and I even talked to my boss to get you the position I have. You
can quit you old job, I know you told me that you hated it so I did something about it."
"Oh sis..." She ran up to her sister and gave her the biggest hug.
"Sis...I don't know what I would do without you."
"Haruka." She broke their hug.
"Yes?"
"You start your job in a half an hour."
"Oh right!" She flew down the hall scrambling to get ready. She had a long night in front of her. She had to
manage the tables and complete people's orders. The sisters left together but when it was time to split
Haruka had a question.
"Anna."
"Hm?"
"Do you get home before me?"
"Sadly yes."
"Make me a promise."
"What?"
"Don't wait up." She gave her a grin and they both walked towards their jobs.
