CHAPTER 13
The twins
They all stared at Ichigo and Shiro. Ichigo didn't understand why. Then finally Hermionie asked:
"Hey Ichigo, who might the kid right next to you be? He looks like your twin, but you don't have one I saw your family. You wanted to tell us later right? Now we are back and happy (because Sirius is alive) so can't you now tell us what is going on?"
"I separated my soul into two parts. We were at first two whole souls, but then we merged together and became one. When we now split it's like we split into half so we shrink. Shiro was always a part of me and so has his own personality. When we merged we mixed our personalities, if not for that I wouldn't be always bored out of my mind. We look like twins because, you could say he was born from me or more correct my soul. His appearance is the same, because we are the same. I will warn you, when we are in this form we…oh look Shiro there's a unicorn. Let's go after it."
"A unicorn, can you eat something like that?"
"Ichigo why did you want to…"
"No, but you can ride it!"
"Hey Ichigo, what are you…"
"Let's go. We won't catch it if we wait any longer."
With that they stormed out. They all tried to call Ichigo, but he didn't hear them or didn't notice. They were already running after the stressed and scared unicorn, when the group of people looked at each other again.
"What did you think he wanted to warn us about? It's not like they would hurt us, would they?" asked Ron.
"I wouldn't really be surprised, if Shiro, it's what he called him isn't it, attacked us. Ichigo would defend us, but I think it won't happen. He wouldn't allow Shiro to do any harm to us" said Ginny.
It was getting late, but the twins were still not coming back. They became worried, when the sun set and the twins still weren't back. They had waited some more, but when the twins still hadn't come back, they had made search parties, to go into the forest. They had looked everywhere, except in the deepest part of forest were the centaurs lived. They began to panic. The twins could have walked into their territory and the centaurs didn't like it one bit when strangers entered their part. They slowly moved forward, trying not to be noticed. It was futile, because they were soon caught. They were brought to the leader that then asked them:
"What are you doing in our territory? Have you the wish to die or are you just foolish?"
"Nether" Harry answered timidly "we are in search of the twins, one white and one orange haired. They were running after a unicorn, but didn't come back when it got late. We searched every part of the forest expect for here. So, even thought we knew the risks, we entered your territory."
"Ah, so you are friends of the twins that suddenly, without anyone noticing entered our territory. They suddenly just stood there and grinned."
"What happened?" asked Hermionie.
FLASHBACK ###POW: Leader of the centaurs###
I will tell you the whole story, because you are friends of them. We will truest you. Anyway, it was a normal day. We went hunting, took care of our children and other things. When the sun was slowly setting down, we had already started to get ready to sleep. Suddenly I felt someone touch my leg and thought it was one of the children, when there stood to boys. At first I thought I was hallucinating, but I wasn't. I asked my man if they had let those boys in, but the all shook their head. We had surrounded them, seconds later and asked who they were. Their answer shocked us greatly. They said:
"We are the "Lords of Hell", our name is Ichigo and his is Shiro. Will you play with us?"
Of course we didn't believe them. Who would? Then we attacked them with the aim to kill, but they dodged our attacks easily and the white one named Shiro started to laugh and sing a song righ out of hell. When we heard it, even we needed to shudder and the orange haired one, which called both of them Ichigo had started to snigger. He soon followed the lead of his twin and started to sing himself. The song, even thought it was horrifying had now a soothing tone to it, but we didn't give up. At the end of the battle the twins had won, because we had become too tired to fight. The twins didn't even break a sweat and looked somehow really happy. Then they started to grin and the orange haired boy said:
"Thank you for playing with us. It was really a fun game of catch to play. Let's play again okay?"
The wind started to act up and for the first time, we saw their eyes. The white twin Shiro had golden eyes and black around them. They were eyes of a demon. The orange twin Ichigo did have normal eyes, but they were like looking into our soul. Then we believed their statement from earlier and were thankful, that they hadn't just killed any of us and just had come to play. Then to our great misfortune, a giant serpent had thought of us an easy prey. She was coming right toward us when the twins stood before it. She built herself up in a threatening way, when the boys that had the whole time even when chased held hands looked at it and said:
"You are not allowed to feed on them. Trough us, they became vulnerable and we will protect them with our lives if we need to. We command you to leave!"
They had said it in such a strong and frightening way, that even the serpent left, without trying anything. Then they suddenly collapsed and started to cry. We didn't know what we should do, when the unexpected cried out:
"We are hungry! We want to go back."
"We couldn't resist and started to laugh, they looked at us with a warning glare but we just couldn't resist. Later when they had calmed down, we gave them a bit of our food and they drifted of to sleep. Did you know that the white one still has his insane smile, while the orange one still has his scowl when they sleep? It is really fascinating. Now tell me what you now of this two children."
## NORMAL POV ##
They all just stared. What had happened that Ichigo would act like this? Never mind, they would now sooner or later. They told the leader and the gathering crowd what they knew about Ichigo. They also told them, that Ichigo and Shiro were both one soul and they had just separated so they were also half at strength. They were also bigger normally and thirty-seven years old. The gathered centaurs made wide eyes while listening. They told them how they had met and what Ichigo had done till know. They also told them what Ichigo had done to Umbridge. After they had finished the Leader looked thoughtful. Was it really true what the group had told him or were they lying? The second one was unlikely, what would that bring them. Suddenly they heard a loud cracking sound coming from the west. It was like some of the forest was being frozen in ice. They all looked up and saw the cause. Dementors were gathering around them or more like the twins. The group darted forward. The centaurs were not stupid to just run into them, but they also wanted to save the boys. Then the twins opened the eyes when one of the dementors was trying to suck their souls (or soul?) out. Then they said:
"What are you doing you lower creatures? You are not allowed to come near us since you were banned from hell. You have committed a crime that was unforgivable and have received you punishment. You can't come back to hell, till you have learned what you have done wrong and accepted it as that. Leave now!" The twins said synchronistic.
It was threatening and the dementors where retreating when they suddenly seemed to be in pain and then attacked again. Both boys screamed: "Patronus" and before them stood two tigers. One was blue, the trio already knew that one and the other was pure black. The tigers roared at the same time and attacked. They also didn't just disappear when they had hit something. It was like looking at two real, powerful and gigantic tigers. It hadn't taken them long and the dementors where retreating. The twins noticed them, smiled brightly and then run toward them. Then Ron remembered that Ichigo had wanted to give him a warning and asked:
"Ichigo, what did you want to say at that time?"
"What do you mean?"
"You wanted to warn us of something concerning this form."
"Oh I just wanted to warn you that we will be much trouble. Immortals act like they look and right know, we acted like we are six or seven years old. I also can't really concentrate or get angry at anything for longer than five seconds. Oh and Harry, when I can become angry again, then you will live through hell!"
At that Harry gulped. He didn't know what had made Ichigo so angry at him and somehow he didn't really want to know. Hermionie then questioned:
"When are you going to turn back Ichigo?"
"I can't because of that I asked Nel to bring Ulquiorra here. He knows what to do. He always did it when I separated, because I /we were bored and then annoyed him. I think…"
"…What was that, it shinned so beautiful!" with that he run away. Shiro soon followed him and after them ran a centaur, which was sent after them by the leader. The leader shocked his head and said:
"He really meant what he said. They are like two grasshoppers. You can try to stop them, but you won't success."
Then the centaur came back with the twins on his back and said:
"They saw a shining object and Ichigo ran toward it. Shiro had arrived there first thought and started to look for it. When I was there they started to fire spells with their hand into the ground and they found a key, which flew into the air, though the explosion. Ichigo caught it and stared at it intensely. It seemed to be something and Shiro also just stared at it. They decided to take it with them and then jumped onto my back.
"Ichigo, do you know something about the key?"
"Yes and no. I know what it is, but I can't concentrate on it, because my mind wanders the whole time, same for Shiro. I hope that Ulquiorra will be there tomorrow evening so that I can change back."
With that said he and Shiro started to yawn. Then they had fallen asleep right on the centaur. The group took them carefully into their arms, thanked the centaurs and went back to Hogwarts.
The next day was hell itself. The first class was "Portions" and the twins attended. Everyone looked at them with wide eyes and then to the teacher. Ichigo stood on the ground with Shiro on his shoulders, so that they could reach the table. It was a funny sight and they soon everyone was looking at them. Shiro just bumped everything into the flask and mixed it. Then he smelled it and put in a finger. Everyone just looked at him and Snape started to shout, that children shouldn't be allowed in his class. Then Shiro said:
"Hey Ichi, I think we made something wrong. It tastes like water."
"Just put something else in it to. Maybe it will come out fine."
Before anyone could stop him Shiro had put another thing into it and the whole thing exploded. Before them lay a stone that shimmered like it was underwater. Ichigo quickly put it into his pocket and then ran out with Shiro right behind them. The whole class was thankful, because after that the lesson couldn't continue and they were let out. Everyone had been frightened; that the twins would meet Peeves, but thought their luck wasn't so bad. They had bad luck, because the twins met Peeves. Peeves had seen them when they had started to scribble on the walls and had joined them. He had made suggestions at pranks and the twins were soon were playing pranks with him. They mobbed the floor and waxed it. All the students were now falling to the grounds when they were in this corridor. They had hung underwear on the towers that now looked a bit like flags. They had scribbled all over the walls on the outside, had used paint for it, had let the magical creatures from Hagrid into the castle, had scared the students have to death with Shiros eyes and hollow voice, had started to sing that horrifying song, that even made Peeves shudder and had destroyed almost every classroom with a explosion (this was unintended). At night fall Peeves and the twins were finally caught and it looked like they were even proud of what they did. Peeves had started to like the kids and now he really respected them. They were the best, when it came to thinking of a prank and destroying property of the school. They had even used their "Patronus" to scare the students, when they had eaten. They were in the office of Dumbledore, who was just overlooking the damage. Then he started to smile and asked:
"Did you two had fun?"
"Yes we did old man, it was the most interesting think that I have ever done in this child form" Shiro said."
"That's good then isn't it?"
"No it is not! The whole school is damaged and it will take a while to wash away all those colors and paints" rant Snape.
The trio wanted to say something to, when suddenly a rip in the sky opened and a figure came out. The next second it suddenly stood right next to them and looked down at the twins. The figure was male and had green eyes. His skin was pale or almost white. What was shocking was how he had a hole right under his neck. Then the twins suddenly shouted:
"Mommy, you came for us. We missed you!"
"Let go trash!" the man said in a cold voice.
"How is daddy, mommy?"
"That trash is doing fine even thought it would be fine with me if he just died." He said it with his normal (?) voice and the group shuddered again. They were doing that a lot lately.
"Mommy can you change us back, we have played enough for now."
The man looked to them and said: "How much damage did the trash make?"
Snape said at that: "They painted the whole school, injured many students and destroyed almost all classrooms."
"Looks like you were lucky. There weren't any dead, the paint can be washed away, not like how it is by us and the building is still standing. The last time they separated a whole two sin punishment steps were destroyed and needed to be rebuilt. Those sins steps are as big as this world. So be glad trash, that you were lucky!"
Then he made a sudden move, packed the twins by the throat and smashed them with such a force together that the ground shock at the impact. There was a flash of light and in the middle of it stood Ichigo. He smiled at the man, as if he hadn't done anything and said:
"Thanks Ulquiorra, for coming and helping me back into my normal shape. You can go no if you want to or do you want to stay here?"
"No thank you I will be on my way and Ichigo, don't separate again. The next time I see the trash I will kill them before I put them back together. You better call the other trash next time; I will be away for about a year so don't come looking for me." With that the now dubbed Ulquiorra left.
"Why does he call the twins' trash and you Ichigo? You are the same person are you not?"
"Yes we are, but we don't act the same so he has acts different between me as twins and me as teen. Oh and he smashed us against each other so he you forcefully bond the souls again. It hurts a bit, but is better than staying in that form for too long. You heard what happened the last time, did you not?"
Everyone nodded and became quiet again. Ichigo suddenly fell backwards and everyone was scared that something bad had happened. When they had checked him, they had noticed that he had just fallen asleep. Maybe it was exhausting to put ones soul back together. The trio brought Ichigo to his rooms and laid him down. Soon everyone had gone to sleep and the whole castle became quiet.
