Me: I don't feel like doing author's notes today so let's just do the thank yous and move on.
Kai: Lazy bitch.
Me: Go die.
Kai: … That's my line.
Queen: It's because we're doing this late at night, isn't it?
Me: Yeah.
Kai: It's your own fault for putting it off for so long.
Me: Again, go die.

Chapter 5: reflections
"Awww… no head-shot one-shot…" pouted Yang.
She was watching the boys through the 'viewing puddle', as she called it. It's actually a magical pond that acts as a security camera for the realms her and Ying controlled. … Yang also uses it as a mirror in the morning.
The two control many realms, but most are small in comparison to heaven.
They were lucky to have found out the rules of the game soon after starting; most of the other gods were too stupid to learn the rules and abused their position. By the time the fools realized what a grave mistake they made someone had already climbed the sacred tree, and the cycle of pain and misery continued.
The girls' predecessor didn't even know any realm except for hell, the only realm equal to heaven in size and where he lived, existed. His idiocy is the reason for that belief humans have about the 'nemesis of god' who supposedly lives there. Ying and Yang have been to hell several times – even considering living there themselves at one point – and have never once met such a creature.
"What're you whining about now?" sighed Ying, now standing behind her friend.
The pond was just outside the old-Japanese-style house they built around the tree after bringing it here.
Yang turned to face the other girl.
"Why are you wearing a kimono?" she asked, eyebrow rising.
"I can let loose too, you know. I don't wear my work clothes-"
"Ninja gear"
"Right… well I don't wear my 'ninja gear' all the time. You know that."
"Yeah but you're fun to upset"
"…Over ten times the life of a human I've tried and I still don't know how to shut you up…"
"You shall never know!" and with that remark Yang ran inside.
Ying sighed and glanced at the pond, not looking at the boys, but at her reflection.
Another feature of the 'viewing puddle' was that it showed both who you are and who you use to be.
YANG'S P.O.V
I stood behind Ying, staying as quiet and still as possible.
When I look at the pond I see two girls standing side by side.
The first is a little girl with shoulder length black hair, creamy-white skin and dark blue eyes wearing a floral kimono. She's smiling.
The second is a teenage girl with shoulder length white hair, pale skin and white eyes wearing a white tank-top, light gray shorts and white trainers. She's crying.
When Ying looks at the pond she sees two girls, but they're not side by side.
The first is a little girl with waist length black hair, pale skin and black eyes wearing full priestess uniform. Her face is expressionless but the rims of her eyes are red.
The second is a teenage girl with knee length black hair, pale skin and black eyes wearing a black t-shirt, dark gray jeans almost reaching her ankles and black trainers. She has the same expression as the first girl… she also holds a dagger, the blade going through the little girl's heart.
