Arrival
“I hear that a whole family of new students are transferring here from Japan!”, Yelled a girl as she came to her classroom from her dorm room.
“Same here!”, yelled another girl.
The door to the classroom for the second year high school students opened and as it did two people walked in. One was a girl who wasn’t wearing her uniform. She was wearing a black and white Victorian dress. She had orange hair tied in pigtails and blue eyes as icy as winter, well eye. She was missing her left eye and it was covered by a black square looking eye patch. The Boy next to her also had icy blue eyes but with muddy brown hair. They were both beautiful but all the students knew they weren’t the twins they heard about…so how come they are the same age?
“The boy is so cute!”, Squealed one of the girls.
Yura heard the girls comment and reacted to it by showing Zura was hers. She grabbed his red tie and pulled his head down so she could kiss him.
“He is mine.”, She said as she pulled away.
All the girls stood frozen and the boys stood their with creaped out faces.
“Ewe! Aren’t they related! Incest!”, yelled one of the girls.
“Well you see I was tired of your comments so I made it clear…he is mine.”, Yura said calm as usual.
“But like I said you are related! You can’t love him like that!”, yelled the girl again.
“Well, when you can’t fall in love with someone outside the family you tend to fall for boys in your family.”, stated Yura bluntly.
The girls simply turned now not wanting to argue. Zura was a little angry. His face showed it. Yura noticed and looked down sadly. Lately their has been a great distance between them. She knew it was because of her emotions breaking through, but she couldn’t help it. She was just too worried about him. Her uncle had been sending letters to Zura. Every time he got one he would run straight to the airport. She wondered what he was up to.
“Yura, I would appreciate it if you would refrain from such trivial actions in front of everyone. You’re just embarrassing us.”, he said as he turned and walked to an empty desk.
“Sorry.”, Yura dribbled as she clenched her fist.
Zura turned quickly because of her tone. He stared at her watery eyes which were still looking down. “I’m sorry. You know how tiring it is to go to uncle’s twice every month.”, He said sympathetically.
She simply nodded and went to the empty desk in the corner. Zura moved from his seat and took the seat next to her. He grabbed her hand and held it tightly. Then let go hesitantly as the teacher entered the room.
“Now class we have two new students today! Yura and Zura Kenichara! They are Irish twins so that is why they are in the same grade!”, the teacher yelled over everyone.
“Irish twins?”, asked the class in unison.
“It means our mom got Prego and had Zura then immediately after she got pregnant and had Yura. They were born in the same year at different time! Duh! Don’t you idiots know anything! Jeez! I thought kids at this school were supposed to be smart!”, said the twins ‘Kira and Kura in unison.
“Those are the twins! Oh! They are so cute!”, squealed the girls.
“Uh how annoying these girls are!”, said Zura plainly.
“Yea…I suppose you’re not used to girls. Other then me and Keri, no wonder they bother you.”, said Yura calmly.
Thank god! He won’t fall for anyone else! I couldn’t imagine life without him! Yura thought happily. She knew he loved her but how could anyone know how anyone felt for sure. She wasn’t the typical girly girl. She was quite the opposite. Very gothic and tragic. Many think she is weird when the truth is she is just different. She found Zura annoying when she was a child. She loved Kai and imagined him as her prince. But now she knows the only thing he is prince of is fools! For taking their mother and father’s life!
“Yura-chan!”, yelled a familiar voice outside the classroom doors.
“Who is it!”, yelled the teacher at the door.
“Seri-chan!”, yelled Seri.
“Come in..?”, the teacher said confused.
The door opened and in came Seri.
“You do know it’s Seri-kun not chan right?”, asked Zura.
“Yea I know big brother but it sounds cuter that way!”, giggled Seri.
“I swear you’re gender confused…oh…wait.”, said Yuri teasingly.
“Shut up, Shut up, Shut up!!!! After I came all this way from the elementary school!”, yelled Seri.
“Why did you come here?!”, yelled the angry teacher cutting in.
“I’m her to get my big brother and sister! See! I even brought the twins! Our older brother has urgent news for us!”, yelled Seri.
Yura turned to the twins. “Is that why you came here?”, she asked.
“Duh! Why else would we come!”, said the twins in unison.
“What’s the news about?”, asked Yura.
“About Kai! Jetsu thinks that Kai lost his body but is rebuilding it!”, yelled Seri.
“Shhh! Not so loud!”, said Yura.
“Get out.”, said Zura.
“What?”, The twins and Seri said together.
“I SAID GET THE HELL OUT!”, yelled Zura.
Seri started to tear up and the twins looked angry.
“Zur…a?”, asked Yura.
“WELL, WHY THE HELL ARE YOU GUYS STILL HERE! YOU HEARD ME! GET OUT NOW BEFORE I FORCE YOU OUT!”, yelled Zura. Rage was very clear in his eyes.
“Zura please quiet and if you need to be sent to the principal I will do it! Now I would like to start class!”, yelled the teacher.
“…Zura. I’m going with them…I don’t know why you are being like this…but…I have to say, YOU’RE SUCH A JERK!”, Yura said with tears streaming down her face. She quickly tore out of the room with the twins and Seri close behind. Zura stood there with his are out like no matter how far she was he could still grab her.
He put his hand down and opened his notebook. His eyes were glazed over with sadness and guilt. “Go ahead teacher. I apologize. If you wish to send Yura to the office, please send me in her stead.”, said Zura.
“If you’re sure…detention an hour after school. Please, when you leave after detention go straight to the boys dorm. The dorm president will show you your new room.”, the teacher said calmly sensing the pan he was feeling.
“Thank you.”, he said emotionless.
***
The twins were both on opposite sides of Yura. Each had the arm closest to her shoulder. Seri was dangling on her back. They all new the separation problems her and Zura were having but they never imagined her to cry. She was always the strong silent type. She has changed since she found out they had to leave Japan.
“You ok? Though he wasn’t yelling at you seemed to have been affected the most. And that’s understandable. Are you going to be ok?”, asked Kira.
“Yea…but it’s nice to hear you talk without your better half!”, she smiled as the last tear left her.
“What about me!”, Kura said as he pecked her cheek.
“If you two start getting kissy kissy I’ll swing you both into the wall!”, She said as she laughed.
“Looky! You feel all better now!!”, yelled Seri.
“Yes and it’s all thanks to you guys! But…how will I face him.”, She said getting sad again.
“You’ll know when you see him.”, said the twins in unison.
They stopped in front of a huge door with a sign above it. It said “storage room”. The twins each took a handle and pulled the doors open. When it opened Jetsu motioned for them to enter.
“What’s this whole thing about brother?”, asked Yura. She knew what the twins said was false.
“I think we should start a club in this room. I showed the principal my plans and he agreed.”, said Jetsu as he smiled pushing his glasses up into place.
“What is the club about?”, asked Yura.
“People who need help in any way can seek us out here and request our help. We will of coarse agree for the price of part of that person. In other words if they want us to help them with a spouse we will. Then we make them sign a contract saying when they die we get…their heart for instance.”, he said smiling even bigger.
They were all born and raised in the 1800’s but when their brother cursed them. They gained powers, lost a part of them, and given eternal life. They later realized it’s life for a price. Every few years they would have to have a certain intake of human flesh. The strange cookie Yura gave Zura…it was a toenail. He has no feeling in his stomach. So he never knows when to eat. Obviously Yura lost her eye. Seri lost the ability to stay the same gender. The twins lost the ability to be independent. Jetsu lost all he emotion. Even though they knew they had to survive some, like Yura, refused to do such things to humans.
Who knows though. Maybe she will take the offer. After all…she is getting hungry.
