"Sugar, I know." Kira spoke gently. "Your eyes look the same. It's all empty and sad. Your auras are very alike as well. You both seem kind and gentle, but both of you are very sad and lonely."
The two girls were rendered silent and was forced to listen to her.
Kira moved to her closer and held both her hands. "You as the daughter of sweets may have been more dominant than your sacred self, and Kin may be a Sacred child more than he is an elite noble of the sweets, but I can see. It is all obvious to me. I may not understand why you chose to neglect each other, but I can see the longing in your eyes for each other as siblings, and your loneliness that you forced to hide."
Kira slumped down to the grass on Bubblegum's side and clenched her hand tighter.
"In our class, I can see so many of you that are the same. Siblings who bear hatred for each other, some who parted, and some who are envious to the other. But all of you are the same. You're all lonely. Everyone in E-class is. I wondered why, but no matter how long I spent with everyone, I can never understand why. It pains me to see. It hurts here." Kira clutched her chest. "It's so painful, I can only depend on nisan to take it all away. But I don't want to see it anymore!--"
"Kira," Bubblegum beamed at her. She ran her fingers through her hair then pulled her to her chest. "there are things that will naturally be unfortunate. Just like me, just like everyone else, we can only wish for a normal life. For us, it is only natural for the things we cherish most of them will go away..."
"No...that can't be" Kira sobbed as she thought about it.
"For now, you will feel blessed to have the luxury to have everything. But one day, you'll understand that there are things you'll deeply cherish but you cannot have. It might be painful but it's not like we have the power to contradict Clover. But Kira, I...I don't want that to happen to you. I wish that you'll never have to experience what I had experienced. Because with all my heart, I know that the one that matters the most to you, you cherished and loved it more than anyone could. You cherished it far more than that yourself. If it were to happen to you, I 'am afraid that it will be very painful, so much that it will be very unbearable. So please Kira...I was like you back then when I was little. Just as Airi told me, the two of us are are very similar so that's why, so that's why I never wished that you walk the same path. So please..."
She was about to say something to her, but Kishi happened to arrive and she wasn't able to say what she wanted to anymore.
"Sugar" Kishi called out.
Hearing her dear brother's voice, Kira suddenly moved out of Bubblegum's embrace and opened her arms to him.
Smiling, Kishi crouched a little then hugged his sister before pulling her up. Kira buried her face into his chest and sobbed quietly. His embrace was warm and she seemed to take it very comfortable.
Kishi can't help but sigh. "Dear sister, what am I going to do with you?"
Bubblegum didn't look at him, while Mythica was very apologetic.
"Were very sorry Kishi. We promised that we'll look after her but we only made her cry. Sorry..."
"It's okay. I know it's not your fault. Shall we head to dinner then?"
Kishi kindly accepted her apology without any complaints. He wouldn't have been so kind as to do that to those who had made her dear sister cry, but things are different right now. He needs to learn to be kind and forgiving. Not just for his sake, but for Kira's as well.
Bubblegum on the other hand, followed them all silently. She wasn't able to say what she wanted to, but it must've been for the best. Because obviously, the twins wouldn't be able to just accept her to say that. They will be outraged if she asked them to keep their distance with each other. They won't be able to just accept it.

It's been so long, and the summer is coming. A lot had happened and their first year at Magic high is almost ending.
It was the school's tradition that the graduating students will have a vacation at the school's private beach to enjoy their last days at the school.
At this year however, the fourth years aren't the only ones that are going at the beach. The Elite-class is also given such privilege.
The place was an island, or perhaps more like a paradise with cool sea water, white sand beach, a castle where they are going to stay in, a beautiful forest, and extra natural hot springs for relaxation.
The whole island was divided equally for every class to enjoy. There is a total of five castles, four for each of the graduating classes, class 4-A, 4-B, 4-C, and 4-D. The fifth one was an extra that are going to be used by E-class. Each class also have their own beach and everything else that the island can offer.
They can do anything they wanted in their stay. Inside the castle, each student will have a very luxurious and comfy room. The dining rooms for each class alone, and the food were made by spirits just like back in the school. They have a ball room if they wanted to party, a spa and massage that are top-class, and many more fancy things. But of course, there's a library since there are students who just like to stick their noses on a book.
Or so that's what they would be expecting once they get there.
"NO MAGIC!!!" Miha proclaimed in front of the whole class before the ship sets sail.
The ship they boarded in was pretty simple. It doesn't have any high-tech stuff, and in fact, it looked like the common galleons in the medieval era. It was made out of wood and was lined with gold, and large sails carried by tall masts.
The children were gathered in the deck. They were sitting at the wooden floor while a few of them were sitting in chairs. Miha was standing at front with her index finger pointing at them.
"What?.....that ain't fair!" Aspen complained.
"Yeah Miha, what's the point, were mages, aren't we?" Kin protested.
"Yes, we are, but we need to enjoy this at least, not just do whatever you want." Miha argued.
Honestly, the whole E-class are undoubtably full of unruly brats. They will do whatever they want and not listen to anyone nor abide any rules. Some have their own worlds and does not cooperate or talk to anyone, some are big troublemakers who does nothing but be a drag. Being able to excel greatly at magic, they use it as an everyday necessity as if they wouldn't be able to live a day without it. They just like making the whole place explode! They really need a big break. A break that will let them enjoy themselves and have fun with everyone.
In the end, no matter how much she tried to persuade them, they just did whatever they wanted. They all nodded, yes, but it wasn't so long till they started blowing things up.
"You three again, I'm so gonna kill you!" Ash shrieked as she chased after Yin, Yang, and Rex with balls of fire, after they intentionally dropped a bucket full of ice cream on her head.
"Ash stop it!!" Her older brother, Asa shouted. "Your going to burn the ship!!"
"Shut up Asa!! I'm going to kill these bastards!!" She just ran after them and ignored him.
"Catch us if you can!" Rex dared her
"Oh yeah, you bet I'll catch you! Ifrit!!" Ash summoned a fire spirit and incarnated the three boys.
With them as black as charcoal, Ash stomped over their blackened bodies and laughed with mockery.
"You see? I told you I'll catch you."
"It's not fair..." Rex groaned.
"Yeah, it's not fair at all, she summoned Ifrit. Right Yang?" said Yin.
"Shut up, it's your fault I got dragged into this."
Asa could only sigh and hit his face with his palm. He can't understand why he became the school council president of the Fire department. Damn, he can't even control his own little sister, and all of his classmates were as wicked as hell! It's kinda unfair that he had to shoulder this much responsibilities.
Miha was sitting at a chair under the shade of an umbrella, drinking ice cool beverages, wearing her summer clothing. Watching the other's, she's as exhausted and hopeless an Asa is.
Sighing wearily, she looked at the blue sky and covered her eyes from the bright sun.
The breeze was cool and taste like salt, as the seagulls flew by. The sound of the waves is refreshing and the sea creatures are fun to watch.
"This is going to be a long trip. I just hope that nothing bad happens."
