Kai
I stared at Sai waiting for him to absorb the situation, getting slightly fed up though I turn him so he's facing the way out of town and gently, so as not to gain his attention, push him out the gates. Once outside I continue to push him through the forest until we reached a large, stone hill. Finally letting him stand still I walk over to it and feel around it's surface. With nimble fingers I quickly find the small indent and push down. With a rush of air the surface disappears into the hill side. Returning to behind Sai I push him forward once again, making sure not to 'accidentally' push him into the wall rather than through the opening. Once in the opening closes behind them and everything goes black.
"Oh shit... forgot that it's pitch black in here..."
I try to whisper this under my breath so Sai wouldn't hear, but the lack of noise in the cavernous aria made it sound like I had spoken to someone on the other side of the room. I could feel Sai's shoulders move under my hands as he turned to look at me... much good that would do though. Even with my enhanced vision I was completely blind. Suddenly his voice breaks the silence as he brings up an idea that I regretted not thinking of myself.
"We're going to have to wake up Kaji aren't we?"
I sigh. It likely wasn't the best idea to wake her up so she could light the way, but what else could we do? The door had closed and there is so many ways to die in this place you'd have to be insane to go blindly.
"I guess it's the only way, but you should do it. She'll recognize your voice and won't freak out"
Sai didn't seem to feel the need to question me further on the fact, because I heard the sound of her being sat on the ground. Then out of the darkness I heard Sai's voice calling gently out for her to wake up. Not being able to see I could only rely on my hearing to confirm that it was working and she was indeed waking up. Then out of no were the sound of a week, slightly feminine voice reaches my ears
"... S... Sai? Were are we? ... why is it so dark?"
My sister's voice... can't believe I didn't recognize it... It's been to long... way to long since I've heard your voice.
Kaji
I open my eyes from the darkness within to come face to face with more darkness. Instantly changing from relying on my sight to relying on my hearing I listen to everything around me. I hear Sai's voice whispering, along with his breath and another's that I had no idea were hey were exactly, not to interested in this for finding my whereabouts I listen harder. All seems to be silent, until finally I hear a single clue, the sound of a waterfall hitting a pool far in the distance. Well that wasn't much help... Finally realizing that I should respond to Sai I go to talk in my normal clear voice, only to have it come out in a week whisper
"...S... Sai? Were are we? ... why is it so dark?"
He didn't seem to hear my questions, because rather than answering he says
"Kaji. How are you feeling?"
A little confused why he would ask this I respond, unfortunately in the same week whisper as before
"... Fine... why?"
He breathes out a sigh the continues
"We need your fire abilities to light the way"
Even more confused I respond, this time with a little more strength
" Ok. but why?"
Silence follows. Seems he either didn't want to answer my question or didn't know the answer. With a labored sigh I finally say
"Fine, since you don't seem to want to answer me I guess I'll trust you... but if this leads to my utter demise I swear I'll haunt your ass in the after life"
I hear a snicker come from the direction of the other person. Squinting I look in their direction and form a fire ball in my hand. Once the person was lit up I point at them and ask
"And who is tha..."
I didn't finish my question though. Instead I stare at the person. What the hell? He looked almost exactly like me... same hair... height... the only differences were that he not only was a guy, but his eyes are a dark purple and his cat ears and tail almost matched our hair color. My mouth opens in shock as I stare at him. Who is he? Why the hell do I get the nagging feeling I know him... He smirks at me, his eyes remaining bored and seemingly answers my unasked questions
"Seems I've been discovered."
He sighs then continues
" Might as well reintroduce myself... Now how to do it... Eh... Kaji you likely don't remember me so... My name is Kai Hametsu and I look like you... or rather you look like me since I'm the older one... is because I, Kaji, am your twin brother, older by about one minute"
