真実の章 The Truth Chapter
Chapter 2
The two girls sat crossed legged on the old, dusty, wooden floor. The scroll now was all collected in their hands, as well as the others. They had organized them into four separate scrolls, the one that hit Mion's foot being the 2nd one.
The two girls hesitated, the past of their town was dark and filled with horrifying stories, some true and some... that you really just didn't know for sure. It wasn't like there was anyone alive from that time to tell them of what it was like back then... But, isn't that what the scrolls were for?
"Well? Go on!" Shion insisted towards Mion, elbowing her harshly in the side as the anticipation ate away at her, "You were the one who babbled on about how much you wanted to learn of the past! Read!" But, even Shion wouldn't mind learning of her Clan's past, especially since it contained information about Sonozaki Twins.
Twisting her head and glaring at her sister the girl silenced her older twin's rantings and opened the scroll. She squinted and bit her lip, "I-I... The... I can't read this..." The scroll was then quickly pulled away from her Mion's grasp, startling the girl.
"What do you mean you can't read this?!" Shion hissed as she inspected the scroll and suddenly her question was answered. The Kanji on the scroll was very unfamiliar to her, very... old. As she tried to decipher the old Kanji she had a chilling feeling wash over her, as if something was telling her to 'go away'. Shion looked up at Mion with regret in her eyes, "I-.. I can't either..."
The younger Sonozaki twin sighed, leaning back and letting her arms hold her up against them, "Ughh... What are we going to do, without a simp-" There was another loud Bang , and dust flew everywhere.
"Is this going to be an occurring thing?! Cause if so, can someone please warn me!" Shion hissed while clutching her chest, breathing heavily at her fright.
"Relax, another box fell. These things really have minds of their own. If anything broke, expect to be in deep shit." Mion scoffed while standing up to go pick up the box. When she neared the old thing, she noticed something glistening. Bending over she opened the box and pulled out a Large, beautiful, textured scroll. Her eyes widened at the beauty of the Jade Jikugi ( End nobs), they were the source of the glisten.
"Open it." A voice came from behind her, it didn't sound like Shion, it sounded like older voice, deeper and powerful, kind of like her grandmothers but not quite.
Mion turned around and stared at Shion who was staring back at her from where she originally sat, "What is it?" Shion asked with curiosity at her sister's expression.
"Err..." Mion paused, "Did you say something?" She asked raising one of her eyebrows.
Raising her own eyebrows and shaking her head she replied, "Nothing than what I just said now."
Shaking her own head to rid herself of that stupid voice, she walked back towards her sister dragging the box along, "A scroll... I.. I think its the same one, since it has the 'Sonozaki' Kanji carved into the Jikugi." Mion explained to her twin.
Taking the scroll herself without asking the harlequin haired girl scoffed, "Well then, lets see it..." Opening it in a quick and swift movement she exclaimed with excitement, "Yup! I think this is a kid's scroll. It's all in Hiragana and Katakana!" Rolling the scroll back up and handing it to her sister she smiled, "Read~"
Mion looked at Shion's hand which had the scroll and back at her eyes, then back at the scroll then back to her eyes, "What? Read?! You have two eyes of your own why don't you!"
"Because I will get tired, and strain my eyes!"
"You are such a baby you know that!" Mion hissed while snatching the scroll and laying down against her stomach, unraveling the scroll, "Well, yeah, this defiantly is a kids scroll... But why so magnificent if its a kids scroll?"
"Maybe it was for just us? For us to see as kids?" Shion added in her two cents.
Mion shrugged her shoulders, "Maybe. Well okay. Lets see, You comfortable because this looks long?"
Shion laid down on her stomach propping up her head with her elbows and smiled, "Ready!"
"Well then, Ahem..." Mion cleared her throat and her eyes began to travel down the scroll, reading her past.
