Skittles: Heh... Sorry, for this late update...
Chiru: Luckily, we managed to finish three chapters for this story. We're going to take a break around Winter Break, so it might be a bit slow.
Skittles: We're going to post up to chapter six, and have our break. We hope we satisfied you with those chapters. since we have finals next week.
Chiru: Apparently, the girls are cramming their studies, since their exam grade is twenty-five percent of their grade. Plus, they're freshman.
Butter: What are you doing?! You're keeping them from reading the chapter!
Skittles: I see someone has hit some nerves.
Chiru: Please enjoy. :D
As Ikuto entered his house, he looked at the case in his hand. "Tch. What am I suppose to do with this?" He noticed that his sister was not home. "Must be with Easter Records." He went upstairs and into his room. "Yoru!"
A small boy around ten came running into the room. "Yeah, Ikuto?" He had golden yellow eyes, like a haunting full moon. His hair was a dark violet color.
"Can you go run out and go get some milk?" Ikuto tossed the case on his bed, but it fell on the floor with a thump. He then toss the key in his drawer.
"Ikuto! Is that how you act to your cousin?" He pouted, like a small cat.
"Yoru." Ikuto's voice sounded irritated.
"Hai!" His answer was out of fear and ran out the house to go get the milk.
"Finally, some peace and quiet." He laid down on his bed. His eyes fell on the case, as he bend over to face it. He got up and took the key out of his drawer. "Might as well find out what's in here."
He inserted the key into the lock and heard a click. As he opened it, he saw something very astonishing.
In the case, laid a girl. She had pink rose colored hair with two plaits on both sides of her head. On her ears were silver cross earrings. She was wearing a loli-gothic black dress which fell just around her knees. She wore beige boots which were laced. She looked like a doll, but she seemed like a girl who was sleeping.
"What the fudge is this?" He learned not to curse, since Yoru was living with him. He then saw a letter near the blue iris near her chest. "How appropriate is this?" He then took the card carefully out and opened it.
Dear Tsukiyomi Ikuto,
I think you're probably wondering how come you received this. Well, let's just say that you're going to be apart of something big. You have been chosen to care for this "doll." Touch the blue iris and pink lotus with your key if you agree to care for this young child. If not, just return her to the church where you were given the case.
Sincerely,
Golden Sun & Silver Moon
"You have got to be kidding." But Ikuto couldn't help but let his curiosity get the better of him. He touched the two flowers with the key, only for nothing to happen. "Tch. What a waste of time." He picked up his violin case and went downstairs to go out.
Two figures appeared. They watch Ikuto leave the house.
"He's quite a handsome man." The one with ocean blue hair, which fell to her mid-thigh, spoke. Her eyes were a color of hot pink, but were unwavering and mature.
"I find him quite ignorant." The one next to her spoke. She was tad shorter. She had shoulder length rose pink hair and had young, energetic cerulean blue eyes.
"Now, Azalea, we don't even know him yet. So don't go judging him yet." It seemed like she was the older sister.
"What about you, Azure? You just said that he was handsome." Azalea looked around the room. "Plus, don't call me Azalea, it's too formal."
"You're right. I did say that." Azure murmured to herself. "Then what should I call you?" She looked at her younger sister.
"How about Pastel? Kyo-chan was always calling me that when I was younger." Azalea looked at her sister for her opinion.
"Then Pastel, it is. Hmm… Why don't you call me Aoi? It's more simple and less formal, plus it's another name for me." She looked at Azalea, no, Pastel.
"Yay!" Pastel jumped in the air with joy. "Thanks, Onee-sama." She noticed her sister was shaking her head at her. "Onee-san?" Her sister was doing the same thing. "Onee-chan?" The same result. "Aoi?"
"Hai." She was immediately tackled down by her sister. "Okay, we have to get to work. Do you have your watch?"
Pastel took out a rose pink pocket watch. "Here, it is. Do you have yours?"
Aoi dug through her pockets. "Yep. If I didn't, then I wouldn't be called your older sister." She had a cerulean blue pocket watch in her hand. "Remember, no one else has these. If they get their hands on these, then they will be taking a detour to the goal, since this is a way to contact Kyoshiro."
"Hai." Pastel looked over to the case. "What do we do with Amulet?"
"Shh… We don't want to wake her up suddenly. Let her sleep more. Don't call her Amulet in public, just call her Amu-chan, okay?" Aoi looked at her sister to see if she got it.
"Oh, okay. Aoi, something is bugging me." Pastel looked down at her watch.
"What is it?"
"I remember him talking about his sister not being home. I remember Kyo-chan saying that he was going to deliver one of Amu-chan's sister to another Tsukiyomi…" Pastel's eyes darkened.
"You're right." Aoi was about to speak, but she heard the front door downstairs open.
"Yoru, what were you doing in the tree?"
"I was climbing it. Are you going to punish me, Ikuto?"
"Maybe. I just told you to go get milk. And I find you dangling from a tree."
"I'm sorry, Ikuto!"
"Go upstairs and go shower. I'll put away the groceries."
The sisters heard loud thumps on the staircase, as if someone was running on it.
"Yoru!"
"Hai?!" The thumping stopped.
"Stop running in the house and go put away my violin."
They heard a sigh coming from the young boy, since they saw him from the door opening.
"Ikuto, is someone in your room?"
"Oh my gosh! What do we do?" Pastel whispered to her sister.
Aoi looked around, then she spotted the window. "Out the window, hurry!" She whispered back.
Ikuto ran up and opened the door to his room. Yoru just stood behind him. "It's just the doll on the bed…" His eyes drifted to the case only to notice that the iris and the lotus had disappeared. "What?…"
"Ikuto?" Yoru looked at his cousin.
"Nothing. Here, give me my violin." Ikuto took his violin from Yoru's small arms and let it lean on his closet wall. "Let's go get dinner ready."
On the rooftop, were Aoi and Pastel trying to keep their patience under control.
"Okay, they're gone." Aoi noticed her sister looking at her. "What is it?"
"Aoi, we have to get some real clothes." Pastel looked at what they were wearing.
"You're right. But we have wear these clothes when we battle the others, since it's the rule." Aoi added.
"Fine, but can we get some clothes?" Pastel pouted at her sister.
"Be patient." Aoi snapped her fingers and they got some new clothes on them.
Pastel was wearing a black shorts with a belt overlapping her shirt. She was wearing a pink low v-neck long sleeve with slight frills on the V. Underneath she was wearing a light blue tank top. On her legs were high brown laced boots. "Now, this is much better." Around her neck was a pink lotus choker, while on her right ear was a cross earring.
Aoi was wearing dark blue jeans with a belt and converse shoes. She wore in a sky blue long sleeve which hugged her figure with a white sleeveless hoodie. Around her neck was a blue iris necklace which hung low, just above her stomach, and on her left ear was a cross earring.
"Now, how do we go in public without getting looks?" Pastel just noticed.
"You're right. When we were back in Europe, we had comments that we were like models…" Aoi looked at the sky. "Just go along with it, I guess."
"I'm going back in." Pastel grabbed onto the rim of the roof and jumped through the window. As she got to Ikuto's bed, she took the key and put in in her pocket. "I don't want anyone to touch this."
Aoi heard what her sister had said. If the others got their hands on the key, they'll find out about everything which Kyoshiro wanted them to have. It was better to keep it with Pastel. Mainly, because she doesn't show mercy to others when she dedicated to something.
"Huh? Where am I? Azure? Azalea?" A voice rung throughout the house.
Pastel stared at her mistress who just woke up.
Ikuto was walking up the stairs with Yoru behind him.
Aoi just went in such a hurry that she knocked into Ikuto when he entered the room.
Tsuki: Hope you enjoyed it. I think it kinda went downhill from here, since it's been awhile since we updated.
Butter: Well, we got to go. Chiru and Skittles will be updating with the rest of the chapters. Oh, yeah. Please, review. If you have any questions, go ahead and ask.
