Arrival of Ayumi's Siblings

Flashback

Miharu had already stopped her tracks, shaking with rage. The two looked at her.

"Akimitsu, how did your parents brought you to Maple Island?" Miharu asked quietly.

"Throwing me there." Akimitsu said flatly.

"Then, why couldn't they keep you at their home?"

Now

"B-b-because, I don't even know..." Akimitsu's voice trailed away.

Ayumi patted her back. "Come on, guys. We should really get to Lith Harbour now."

Miharu and Akimitsu followed Ayumi towards the town.

After all, they didn't even get to Slime Cave. Might as well meet up at Lith Harbour.

-Victoria Island, Lith Harbour-

Michiyo waited impatiently. She folded her arms, tapped her foot on the pavement, walked around..

"Come on. Just wait." Akimoto said.

Michiyo was a Thief. Yumi was a Warrior. Akimoto was at the Athena Pierce, say, flattened by the eager wanting-to-become-Archers teenagers. In about five minutes, Akimoto finally came out of that flooding-with-teenagers house, panting. She had became an Archer, and proudly held up her plain blue bow.

Kairi also had been an Archer, too. Shiori had became a Thief, Higuchi and Yuri were Magicians.

As the rest all had not taken lessons, they all had been at Lith Harbour since then. Finally, the three came.

"Oh, Ayumi!" Yuri squealed and ran to her instantly the moment she spotted Ayumi. Ayumi squeezed her and let go.

"Omigosh. You guys had changed jobs!" Ayumi gasped at each of her siblings' appearance.

The eight siblings were so happy to see each other, that they didn't care about Akimitsu and Miharu. Akimitsu and Miharu felt left out.

"If we aren't wanted, let's go training." Miharu whispered to Akimitsu, loud enough for Miharu to hear over the racket Ayumi and her siblings were making.

"Okay." Akimitsu nodded uncertainly. "But, we have to tell Ayumi."

Miharu waved her suggestion away with a waving hand. "She doesn't even want us. Let's go." Miharu trooped off for the Taxi Booth. Akimitsu hesitated, looked back at the cheering siblings one more time, and followed Miharu, hesitating at every step she took.

-Victoria Island, Henesys-

"Um - why are we here?" asked Akimitsu timidly.

"We're here," Miharu flipped her ponytail back, preventing it from sticking to her sweating neck. "To meet your parents."

Akimitsu's face totally changed at the word of her "parents".

"What's wrong?" Miharu asked, letting her hair down and tying it up again.

"Uh - be right back. Bathroom." Akimitsu let out a uneasy laugh and a smile and ran down Henesys's pavement, heading for the bathroom way, but she stopped halfway and hid under some stacks of hay.

She leaned against the stacks of hay, and released a tiny guilt of sigh. She had just walked out on Ayumi without telling her, and no way she would go to visit her - ugh - parents.

She tyed her brown ponytail to a side curly one and began to stand up, heading for the direction of Miharu slowly.

-Victoria Island, Lith Harbour-

It had been half an hour since Ayumi had been celebrating with her siblings.

They had bought chocolate, munching on it and sitting on benches or standing or crouching.

"I can't wait when we reach Level Thirty," Akimoto sighed and leaned against a wall. "That'd go right down cool and go to Ludibrium and meet our parents."

Higuchi nodded, agreeing.

Ayumi hadn't spoke for a while.

Michiyo had opened her mouth to say something to Ayumi when she saw a speck of shine on Ayumi's face.

"Ayumi?"

Ayumi rubbed her eyes and perched her head up.

"Hai?"

"Daijoubu?"

"Ii-e. Miharu and Akimitsu left me." Ayumi said sadly and rubbed her eyes, trying to let her lump in her throat gone and trying to get her eyes dry, trying to prevent her eyes from filling and leaking with tears.

"We'll find them!" Kairi said suddenly. She took out a folded map from her Archer's skirt pocket and unfolded it.

"Who's a Magician and knows how to get eight of us into the place where Miharu and Akimitsu is?" Kairi looked around and chose Ayumi.

" Please get the eight of us,
To the bright old forest,

Where Nakamura Miharu and Sakura Akimitsu are,
Therefore teleport us over there. "

Ayumi tapped her wooden wand on the map eight times, and chanting magic words.

She stopped and suddenly all of them had gone to Henesys.

Kairi folded the map and stuffed it in her pocket, keeping a keen look-out for the two girls.

Ayumi suddenly dragged the eight of them behind a huge stack of hay.

"They're out of the Mushroom Park," Ayumi whispered. "They must be questing."

"Oh, so if they are, what really-" Akimoto had said loudly.

"Shh!" the seven hushed her, their index fingers on their lips. Yumi added a bonk on her head.

"So, if they are-" Akimoto lowered her voice too far low.

"Louder. Normal whispering, monkey." Higuchi whispered.

-Henesys Market-

"Man. I have to sell these stuff. Hold these bags for me, would you?" Miharu said and left Akmitsu alone with her own bags and walked in the Henesys Armor/Equipment shop, wanting to sell the rubbish she got.

Akimitsu sighed. Maybe she should really visit her parents.

Flashback

"No! I won't go there!" Akimitsu yelled.

Miharu had insisted she should visit, and now she protested.

And an arguement had formed up.

Now

Ayumi suddenly followed them, motioning her sisters to quiet down.

"Miharu! Akimitsu!" Ayumi yelled, not caring whether people passing by staring at her.

Akimitsu dropped the bags, and the goods inside spilled out over the grass.

Miharu, who was in the shop, pressed her nose against the window and ran out of the shop.

"Akimitsu! You should take care of this! Pick it up!" Miharu yelled.

Akimitsu slowly faced her.

"I - am not your maid," Akimitsu faced the "audience". "Get out of here right now!" her voice had a piercing note in it.

The people left.

Ayumi's siblings crawled behind the stacks of hay and stood up, dusting the hay off.

"Gomenasai, Ayumi." Akimitsu apologised.

"What'd you think you're-" Miharu yelled.

" Magic, oh, magic, help me raise the girl in front of me,

She's cursed, behalf the power, I raise my wand,

Like a lullaby song,

I begin the spell,

That falls to her,

Remember, she's cursed,

Emogihas! "

Akimitsu pointed her wooden wand at Miharu, and Miharu fell into deep sleep.

"She's being cursed by a darned old witch." she explained, when she saw Ayumi's surprised face.

"Why did you leave me?" Ayumi asked.

Akimitsu opened her mouth to explain, when she heard footsteps softly walking to the shop.

Gosh. Those magic chants.. I had pulled them out from the air. Anyways. Review please, tell me what you think of. Thanks. Ciaoz. Seeya next chapter!

Love,

SnowAyumi.
