Areona
I walked into the base, noticing the bags near the front door. I looked around the kitchen. Nobody was there. Then I noticed the back of a head sitting on a chair. "Sayoku?"
"Uh huh?"
"Where is everyone?"
"Hiding in the bathroom."
"…Why?"
"It's a long story."
"Sayoku?" I said in a low tone.
"Areona," she cut me off, "We need to tell them what happened. About the last battle we did and Kutsuyoku and Miss Shin."
"Sayoku!" I said shocked.
Miss Shin… he was only man Sayoku has ever loved. The night Kutsuyoku was killed.. the finally night of our battle, he disappeared. When we woke up we found his bed covered in blood.. But he was nowhere to be found. That hit Sayoku hard, and she hasn't mentioned him since then, but she believes he is still alive somewhere.
"Do you mind going to get the guys? They're to afraid to get out if I am there."
"Sure," I said and skipped up the stairs.
Shidosha
I stumbled through the door. "Man your clumsy," Sayoku said not taking her eyes off her book. "Ya well…"
" Oh my lovely little brother. Come sit with," She said in a giddy voice.
I sat across from her and she slowly put her book down. " Sayoku…" I started to say, "You're worrying me."
The 1 year her and I were apart was the worst year of my life. I would never admit it of course. Although she's a bitch sometimes, I guess I owe her a lot, especially for introducing me to Areona. Seeing the way she acted before made me feel.. well, proud I was her little brother.
Areona came skipping down the stairs with Damien, Hajime and Akira hiding behind her. " Alright everyone pop a squat," she sang while flopping herself on the couch.
Areona and Sayoku sat looking at eachother. It was weird to see Areona's face go from happy to upset like that. Man it was cool though. " Tomorrow we will be leaving at exactly 5:19 in the morning," Sayoku said in a monotonous voice.
"Why 5:19?" I said, " Why not 5:00 or 5:30?"
"Because," Sayoku sadi still in a monotonous voice, " 5:19 is more fun."
"Is this what we were dragged down to listen too?" Damein huffed crossing his arms.
"Oh I am sorry, "Sayoku grinned, " Were you doing some more interesting?"
" I am sure hiding in the bathroom was much more fun, "Areona laughed.
"Whatever."
"Anyways as I was saying, we will leave at 5:19. Areona and would like to tell you guys a story."
"I story?" Hajime inquired.
"Ya," Areona said, " a story. A story about the last adventure Sayoku and I went on.
Hearing that everyone took a seat an leaned into listen. I wouldn't blame them, everyone has been wondering since this whole thing started.
" 2 years ago, when Areona and I were only 14," Sayoku started, "We set off on a mission with two other people. They were Kutsuyoku Hikane and Shin Min." she paused. She looked upset.
"The four of use were really close," Areona said in a low tone. " Shin, who we called Miss Shin, was the only male out of the four of us, and Kutsuyoku was our leader. They were both a year older then us. Anyways the four of us battled against a man named Trigger. He was trying to destroy the sun and take it's power. He was a bit of a weird enemy, always rambling about the sun and crap like that. Well the day the four of us killed him was the day he killed our leader. We made it to a small in and decided to stay the night. We were all tired and in so much pain, mentally and physically. Kutsuyoku, our best friend, sacrificed herself to save us. Then to add to that the next morning Miss Shin's bed was covered in blood and he was gone."
As soon as Areona finished Sayoku got up and hurried up stairs. She looked like she was on the edge of tears, which is a HUGE thing for her.
"Sayoku?" Hajime said as she ran up the stairs.
"No, just leave her." Areona said in a shaky voice.
