BANG!!
The door opened. There was complete silence in the ball room except for distant laughing. All attention was shifted to the door and there stood three children with dumbstruck faces. When the eyes met them, the girl quickly hid behind her brother. They feel like running away, but they knew enough that it's too late for that.
"Those damn....URGH!! I'LL KILL THEM!!" Airi muttered under his breath
"Worry about that later" Kishi hissed him "Now what?"
"Suppose we have no other choice than to advance forward"
"Seriously!?"
And so, they began to move forward. Kira was holding tightly in Kishi's arm and trying really hard to suppress her embarrassment. Airi, on the other hand was on the verge of collapsing, and Kishi as well.
Mythica, Rex, Yin and Yang was still laughing loudly, holding their bellies as they lay on the floor. The others are looking at them with disbelief, they just didn't expect them to do such a thing. But then again, it was those three they're speaking of. And when meant those three, they mean Rex, Yin, and Yang. Those three are just unbelievable. To think they would go so far to dig their own graves, these kinds of things didn't just happen once, but this time its just worse.
"I think you three have gone overboard" said Zakia, a girl at the age of eleven who always wear a pink ascot hat over her brown hair, and also likes to read books
"I agree, and Myth, you should know better than to get involve with these three" Bubble gum added
"S-sorry, I-I just c-can't help it, hahaha this is so funny!" She cried
"Mythica darling, learn to put yourself on their shoes, I'm quite certain you wouldn't like it" said Clarumei
"Sorry Daddy...."
"That goes for you three as well" Charalee scolded them
"No thanks Dad, we don't regret any of this, right Yang?" Yin said
"Yeah whatever" Yang replied
"I'm out of the question" said Rex
"These boys" Charalee sighed
The crowd was thoroughly astounded. They just failed to take their eyes of the pair. They were just beautiful, a total work of art. They possess every bit of elegance and beauty the universe can offer. Those milky-white skin, that snow white hair, their rosy cheeks, and their large rose-gold sparkly watery eyes are just exquisite. They move with grace and elegance, that it felt as if none could ever compare. They appeared shy and nervous, it only made them even prettier. Those who looked at them will fall for their irresistible charm in an instant, that even those of the pickiest ones can't help but fall in daze the moment they enter.
Airi manage to slip out of sight quickly and abandoned the two with only a sorry. The spot light was already taken and no one really paid attention to him so he slipped out of sight without much effort. He went were the others are and he was about to give Rex, Yin, and Yang a good beating when his father stopped him
"I'll get you three later" He warned them
"Airi that's mean of you to leave them" Bubblegum said with her usual sweet voice
"Not as bad as they are" He replied coldly, giving them darting looks
"If Kira-chan cried it'll be your fault" said Mythica
"Stop acting innocent, 'cause you're not!" Airi rebuked
As the children argued, the adults are also intrigued by the twins. They looked a lot like their parents. They have their mother's eyes, and they have white hair like their father's. Just by looking at them, one could easily tell that they have both Jen's aloofness, and Amira's kindness. Adorable as they are, its just sad to think they never even heard their parent's voices, or at least experience their warmth. They bring many happy thoughts, but even greater sadness from both the past and the future.
"They really are adorable, aren't they?!" Mimachi said, utterly pleased with herself
"Fascinating indeed" Said Naru of the trees
"So, what do you think, Akaru, Lani, they looked a lot like him don't they?" Zakia's father Lan, asked them
"They're more like just half of him, the other half belongs to their mother" Lani replied
"Believe it or not, but they're good at both magic and in the sword" Amili told them
"I bet they are, but they're just too bright to get involved in the world of assassins" said Akaru
"father, does that mean we can't get involved with them?" Haven asked
"..."
"Er...I think that's a different story" Jex said to her younger sister
"Anyway, don't you think somebody should help them? I mean, those poor children are being devoured by their fear of people with all those stares" James suggested, but it only made the others looked at him with disgust in what he just said
"Somebody should? Why not you?" Neon spoke coldly at him
"I shouldn't have said anything..." he mumbled
"What did you say!" said Neon exasperatedly
"What?! No! I said nothing! Anyway, gotta go"
"How is he my brother again?" Meijin asked
"Ouch! Already disowned, how cold!" said Danlu
They all giggled in his statement. James was already half-way through the crowd. By the time he finally passed the people, the twins stood frozen in all the tension. Their hands are shaking but none seemed to notice. As James looked at them, he felt compassion for the children. They can no longer control their phobia, and was on the verge of collapsing. his heart ached for them.
To take everyone's attention away from them, he made a loud sound by hitting the marble floor hard with his staff that instantly vanished afterwards. Just as he wanted it to, everyone's eyes were now at him. He grinned then spoke loud and clear
"It's rude to stare at people, you'll scare the children"
Startled in what he said, they all quickly shifted their gaze and continued with what they were previously doing. Pleased with himself, he looked at the twins who were now also looking at him. He advanced closer to them then bent down until he was at their eye level. Then smiled warmly
"You two okay?" He asked anxiously
They only nodded silently. He sighed in relief then smiled reassuringly at them.
The two only starred at him. They were not afraid and a feeling told them that he can be trusted that only made them feel safe. They also knew who he was even if this is the first time they met him. He somehow resembled Airi at some point, especially his smile. It's just warm pleasing from the very start.
As they look at him, they can see no resemblance of Meijin, nor their late mother whom they only see on pictures. His hair was not blonde but dark brown. The tips of his hair were nor pink, but rather they are black. The only thing that they have in common is his rose-gold eyes. It may sound weird to others but, his eyes speak differently than Meijin. It was very pure and calm, no hint of coldness to be seen or any trace of hatred, the only negative thing about his eyes were his overflowing sadness. One that he tried hard to hide.
James stood up then reached out his hand "Come, the others are waiting"
And without hesitation, Kishi held his hand with his left and Kira was holding his right. Together they went to Christmas tree at the center of the ball room where all the others are. The guild welcomed them with warm smiles. It was a pleasing sight for the two of them. This group of people was simply too kind, it felt.....nice.
