chapter 1: when two souls become one

"aisha!" a voice shouted coming from a two story building. on top a bed, there was a girl wearing boys clothes: blue jean shorts, an orange shirt, and a blue-and-orange hat. she had her eyes closed as another girl walked into the room. she was wearing a school uniform.

"aisha, could you get up already?" she said, "we're late for school as is, and you still haven't put on your uniform!" "would you get off my back, lily?" aisha said rolling on her side, "i told you before, i don't like wearing that stupid thing!" "yeah, and everytime that you don't, you get detention! and it gives a bad name for us!"

"screw that!" aisha said sitting up, "i'll get up when i feel like it! and not because you tell me to!" "sometimes i wonder how you and i became sisters!" aisha replied, "it's embarrassing!" "well, the feeling is mutual..."

meet aisha and lily...they are two sisters who are absolutely completely different from each other. as a matter of fact, they're not just sisters...they're twins!

school was well underway for another nine hours; lily was being the straight-a student as she was while aisha was on the roof staring up at the sky.

"once again," aisha said mumbling, "another day to skip class, another day of detention." the door to the roof opened which made her opened her eyes to see a friend. "so this is where you were," the boy said. "what do you want, haru?" aisha asked turning on her side, "i don't feel like talking if the principal sent you up here!" "he just wanted me to tell you that detention is cancelled today," haru said, "probably due because the mysterious lightning storms we've been having."

aisha sat up and laid her back against the fence. "we've been getting those a lot lately, haven't we?" she asked.

haru sat down beside aisha and began asking questions. "you never really talk about lily do you?" he asked. "what

ought this on, haru?" aisha asked.

it was now lunchtime inside the school; lily sat down with her friends. "it seems like you're getting a lot smarter, lily," a friend named nao replied, "it's like there's nothing you can't do." "thanks," lily replied with a smile, "i'm not like my sister, aisha, i always care about my grade." "speaking of which," hiromi, another friend of lily's, began, "where is aisha?" "don't know and don't care!" lily bluntly said, "she just fortunate to have detention cancelled. still, it's not my problem!"

all of the girls just looked at lily about what she said. "why are you looking at me like that?" she asked. "what's with all the animosity towards aisha?" nao asked. after that question, lily just lowered her head.

haru continued to look at aisha. "why should i even talk about that crazy sister of mine?" she replied standing up walking around, "she doesn't even understand me; that's why we haven't seen eye-to-eye since our father left us..." "aisha..." haru

eathed.

"she doesn't seem to understand me," lily replied in a normal tone, "ever since our dad left our mom, i've always tried to be the responsible adult; all she does is act nothing has ever happened." "is that why you're embarrassed to be around her?" nao asked. "it's not that i'm embarrassed to be around her..."

"is that why you're embarrassed to be around lily?" haru asked, "it is because she drives you crazy?" "it's not that..." aisha began, "it's just..." both sisters were thinking the same thing as they said...

"we're just...too different!"

in a mansion, in a remote area, three mysterious people were talking amongst themselves. "are you sure that the treasure is here in this city?" the woman said. "the dark divider has confirmed that the constellations of orion are here in the city," the tallest man said. "mojo, send one of our seibutsu to search the city," a man wearing a mage cloak replied. "kisai, we're supposed to be as low key as possible," the woman said.

"aku-ai, we have tried to be as low-key as possibly as we could," kisai replied, "as much as we want to, the master can't wait any longer. mojo, here!" kisai threw a card to mojo as he replied, "take this seibutsu card and place it against the nearest thing that you sense the constellations from. i will use my magic to awaken it." nodding in agreement, mojo disappears. "soon, aku-ai, the master wiill be resurrected soon," kisai replied, "and the kingdom of the sun will be ours!"

it was the end of the school day and lily walked out of the entrance. after walking a few feet, she saw aisha leaning on a concrete wall. they both sneered at each other. "what are you doing out here?" lily replied, "school was over a half-an-hour ago." "i heard that detention was cancelled," aisha replied, "i figured you and i should walk home together."

with an innocent look, lily looked at aisha and said, "really?" "mom said she would kill me, if i came home without you again." lily's face scrunged up in an instant. 'ask a stupid question, get a stupid answer.' she thought.

walking home, the twins noticed something different about the weather. "i didn't know that it was going to be this bad," lily said wrapping her arms around herself. "the lightning storms have been getting frequently as of late," aisha said as the winds picked up. several lighting bolts cracked into through the sky as lily covered her ears in fear. "what the hell is going on?" aisha said as the winds picked up faster.

something started bouncing around in the sidewalk and fell in aisha's arms. "hey! what the...!" she said looking down. it moaned in the softest of voice as it said, "help me, zsa-zsa..." "aisha, what's that in your arms?" lily asked. "we don't have time for this, lily! let's get home!" aisha stated in a haste.

after making it home, the little animal rested on aisha's bed. "what's kind of thing is it?" lily asked, "i've never seen anything like it. by the way, are you crazy for

inging this home?" "yes, lily! i'm crazy, ok!" "why?" aisha narrowed her eyes at her twin and said, "well, i don't know! cause, i wanted to re-decorate! you know, a couple a throw pillows, and a little baby animal, you do you think?"

"that was a rhetorical question!" lily shouted towards her. "then make it sounds rhetorical!" aisha replied back. as they were about to get into another argument until... "zsa-zsa..." "huh?" aisha

eathed turning her head towards the little animal. "help me...zsa-zsa..." it said. "did it just talk?" lily asked. "maybe it's hungry," aisha replied, "i'm gonna find something it likes..."

minutes later, the little animal started eating food on the entire plate. aisha and lily facefaulted as they saw it eat. "thank you, zsa-zsa!" the little animal said. "it so cute~!" lily said picking it up. "okay, little guy!" aisha said, "spill it! who are you? practically, what are you?" "my name is zsa-zsa," it said, "i am a fairy from the kingdom of the sun." "a fairy?" "that's a tale if i ever heard of one!" "no, it's true, zsa-zsa! i can tell the reason of the mysterious lightning storms!" "the lightning storms?" aisha shouted standing up from her bed, "what you would know about them?" "calm down, aisha! it's okay, you can talk to us."
