Belly on the floor, Rex was still trying hard to beat Airi on chess. Lune was still reading books as usual, Mika was studying, and Kishi was patting Kira softly as she lay her head on his lap. Silence filled the room and only Rex's groans are to be heard.
Kira felt a little anxiety for a certain reason. Kishi felt her uneasiness and just looked at her. He was uncertain what to say, it's been four long years since the last time they were together. What's so hard with just asking what's wrong. Why can't he say anything about it? He felt pathetic--
Nisan....
Kira stopped the question from being asked; she does not want to. As twins, they possess unspoken communication through telepathy. Their eyes met; both their eyes were gracious morganite pink. Their large watery eyes sparkle with equal splendor of bright gold as they stare at each other.
Kishi only smiled
Onii-san.....would we be able to be like that again? Like we used to...
Of course, why not?
I just thought...many things had happened--
Don't say such thing....we promised....remember?
Un....
She caressed her pendant slightly and turned on her side, stuffing her face on her dear brother, wondering.....would that promise be fulfilled.....or.....will it be a lie. Such question cannot be answered just because they want to, life isn't that easy, they might want to stay together now, but who knows what they'll think I the future.

Friday came fast and the training program came again. The school stadium was filled with muttering girls. The boys were so eager to watch the first fight, and to see how the twins will decide to do their match.
The moment they stepped into the light, the noisy crowed became silent, but were still exited to see how it'll end
Kira was scared, yet she bit her lip and stood in the spot light of many envious eyes.
The teacher stepped between them, and served as the referee. When he shouted to begin the fight, the two of them only stood their silent.
A katana appeared in Kishi's hand, he threw it at her and told her to catch it. But she didn't and it fell on her head
"Owiee....."
"S-sorry! Anyway..." He took a deep breath and spoke again "I want to spice things up a little bit"
The audience looked at him confusedly
"Hrmp! Since you can't use magic, use that instead! But since I'm probably way better than you.....I suggest tree rules!"
Number one! If you lose your weapon you lose.
Two! I'll only dodge your attack or use no weapon to block it. And if I did use a weapon I lose.
Three! The loser has to do one thing the winner ask no matter what it is...
The others students just looked at them silently. Astounded and confused"
"That's not against the rules now, was it?" Kishi looked at the school's council members.
"Uh-umm...the rules do state that fighters may not show mercy--"
"Why? I did say, do whatever the winner want no matter what right? That also mean, that if I win...I could easily tell her to die if I want to...can I."
The looks suddenly took another change. Though still amused, but now with mix fear and doubt.
"Shall we begin then..." Kishi said in a rather cold voice. Kira lost all her fear in all the things he said, just grinned and nodded in agreement.
Kira was now more confident than before. Despite the ruthless things her dear brother had said, she knew him enough to take it negatively.
As twins, they always helped each other in anyway they could. Back in the past, Kishi used to get himself in trouble and Kira was always there to get him out of it. If wasn't possible, the two of them were always willing to take the punishment of the other and get scolded together.
Just like Kira, Kishi also tries his hardest to help his dear sister. Kira was born weaker than him, and prefer to sit still reading books. Of course, the adults are not delighted by this. She as a Sacred Royal must be diligent and strong, specially in their case since, they were both late comers and are not able to use magic.
Kira lack confidence and tends to depend on others to do the hard things. Kishi wasn't bothered with this, in fact he was delighted to know his sister trust him in every way. He often tells cold and mean things to help her and also to get what he wants.
She was happy just the way things were. She may not have the most peaceful life or the most beautiful future, not even the kindest fate of all others, yet she was happy enough to live up to the present with her most dearly and only family. A kind and caring brother, whom is willing to give his all for her, and even if he is not the best person in the world there exist. To Kira, he is a perfect brother, whom she doesn't want to ever loose...
Jaw dropped as the two of them begun.
Everyone in Fantasia High regard her as nothing more than a lowly commoner. She very weak and does not stand up to anyone. She is also considered as a person who lacks education since, she refused to write anything. She also can't use magic that proved their doubts
However, this fight has brought a great turn.
Airi, Rex, Lune, and Mika were all totally impressed. They never took their eyes off them yet they still had trouble getting the details of the fight because of its speed.
Kira advanced in great speed on her first move. Kishi touched the side close to the tip of the katana, and pushed it downward with his right hand, while the other was in the pocket of his uniform.
Kira almost loosed her balance, yet she regained it quickly and proceeded with her second attack. She aimed straight for his neck but dodged just about time before it touched him.
People who looked at her may call her very great, still, she was not enough of an opponent to Kishi.
The fight proceeded with great effort and speed. In the end, Kira finally lost her balance, and tripped right in front of Kishi. She fell on the ground and the sword flew away. Kishi bent down and patted her head. She got to her feet quickly and walked away stomping, and disappointed with herself.
Kishi stood up and chuckled as Kira acted like a kid. Well they are kids, but they usually act pretty matured for their age.
He grinned and talked to her silently as she turned around to look at him. Their eyes met once again
You owe me a favor....don't forget that...
Jerk!
