It was a grey, cloudy day when is happened. “Ahhhhhhhh!!!!” screamed the man. “Father!?” yelled the boy running to his
father’s room. When he arrived, he saw his father, lying on a blood stained carpet, next to a bloody dagger, dead. “Father!
No, NO!” cries the boy as he knees down to his dead father. Then he notices his father’s treasured Seikatsu stone was gone
from it’s case. “The one has stolen from and murdered my father shall pay for this.” whispered the boy under his breath. He
hears his mother running up the stairs. “Honey, what’s wrong, (gasp) Kosei!? what happened?” asked his mother quickly.
“Father was murdered, and look, the Seikatsu is gone!” said the boy of the name Kosei. “This can’t be! It’s, It’s… (starts to
cry)” his mother screamed. “Don’t cry mother. Father wouldn’t want you to cry.” said Kosei calming.
Later that night, Kosei started to cry himself. He couldn’t get the images of the day out of his head. “I shouldn’t be crying! I
am 17 now and can handle this kind of situation.”Kosei thought to himself, but he couldn’t help himself. The next day the
village had a small funeral for Kosei’ father. It was decorated beautifully with roses and violets. Later after the funeral, Kosei
meet with his friend, To`nan Haku. “Haku-kun, I have a favor to ask of you.” said Kosei. “And what might this favor
be, Kosei-kun?” questioned Haku. “Haku-kun, would you come with me on a journey to find the one who has murdered my
father?” asked Kosei. “Why? We have no idea who it was. This journey of yours would be a wild-goose chase!” Haku
complained. “No, your wrong. Who ever murdered my father also has the Seikatsu. So who ever has the Seikatsu must be
the murderer!” exclaimed Kosei. “That isn’t a firm way. This person may have sold it to some peasant or a rich merchant!”
said Haku. “Why would a thief steel a powerful stone and give it away when it’s name means ‘Pure Energy’?” questioned
Kosei. “Uh… I…” stuttered Haku. “Since you seem to have no more questions, will you or will you not help me in my
journey?” asked Kosei. “I guess. I kinda want to get outa this small village and wonder about, but I don’t think my mother
will like this much. She wants me to find a wife soon and well…” said Haku. “We can leave tonight! meet me at the woods at
12:00 a.m.” said Kosei. “Okay, see you there.” Haku said, walking away slowly.
At 12:00, the two met at the wood. “You got everything?” asked Kosei. “You bet!” said Haku. “Well, lets get going before
were found out.” whispered Kosei. They walked through the dark wood for several hours and reached the end of the wood
at 4:00 a.m. “Think they’ve noticed we’re gone?” asked Haku. “Maybe, maybe not” answered Kosei. At the end of the wood
was a meadow. A spring green meadow with lovely flowers all about. It was 9:00 a.m. when they reach a new area. It was a
port on the sea of Japan. They could catch a boat from Noto to Itoigawa. That’s what they were planning, but right before
they were to board their ship, they looked to see what looked to be a knight. This stranger wore Grey and Black armor, and
sharp sholder caps that looked like the wing of a bird. He wore a helmet that covered all his face except his eyes that were of
a pure aqua blue. He bore a Zwiehander of great size. They would have left him alone until Kosei saw that on the stranger’s
sword was the Seikatsu! With out telling Haku, Kosei runs at the stranger yelling like a mad man. “You’re the one who
Murdered my father!” Kosei screamed. The stranger turned and almost hit Kosei with his sword if it weren’t for Haku who
ran to defend him. “Grrr… your going to pay for putting my friend’s life in danger!” hissed Haku to the dark stranger. The
stranger’s eyes narrowed and the Seikatsu lite up and blew Haku and Kosei into a building, knocking them out. By the time
the two woke-up, the whole port looked like a butcher shop. Tons of blood and dead bodies were slung about and lots of
crashed buildings. “Wow! That guy meant business!” exclaimed Haku. “We’re lucky to be alive.” whispered Kosei in a
trembling voice. “How are we going to get to Itoigawa now that the boats are all sunk?” asked Haku. “You could come
with me, in my boat” said a mysterious voice. “Who’s there!?” questioned Kosei, getting ready to fight. “There’s no need to
fight. I won’t attack you.” said the voice. “Where are you, whoever you are?” Yelled Haku. “Above you” said the voice.
They look up to see a beautiful girl with long blond hair to her waist in a pony-tail on top of one of the buildings. “Who are
you?” asked Haku and Kosei in unison. “I am Ko`ken Binka.” answered the girl by the name of Binka.
“Are you sure this hunk of wood will float?” asked Haku to Binka. “I sailed here from Itoigawa, without problems” said
Binka. “We should get a move on.” said Kosei in a stern voice. “Okay, let’s start sailing!” Yelled Binka in a comical tone.
The next day, they were still on the boat, going crazy. “Oh… I feel sick…” said Kosei in a groggy voice, face turning green.
“Never been on a boat before, ne?” said Binka in a sly manner. “You not very polite for a girl” Haku said observingly. “Who
said all girls had to be polite, Baku.” said Binka. “My names Haku for the 50th time!” yelled Haku at Binka. “Okay what
ever you say, Baku” said Binka in sly manner. “Grr… why you little…” whispered Haku under his breath. “It’s going to be a
long four day trip” sighed Kosei. On the fourth day, they were nearing land. “Oh, yes! Land at last!” yelled Haku in a
relieved voice. “No more sea sickness for me” said Kosei. A couple yards from the dock Kosei noticed something. “Haku,
have you noticed that Binka has a tatoo like yours on her breast?” whispered Kosei. “Yeah, why do you ask?” asked Haku.
“Did I just hear you talking about my breast?” questioned Binka in a annoyed tone. “Well… I noticed you have the same
tatoo that Haku has on his chest, but on the opposite side.” said Kosei. “So!?” said Binka a bit more annoyed. “It’s just,
Haku has told me when he was young that he had a sibling with the same tatoo as he did, and that’s why he was put into
adoption.” said Kosei. “No, no, no, no, no, she is not my…” Haku said in a unsure voice. Then Haku and Binka were
looking into each others eyes. Binka looked a bit serious as she moved her hand to touch Haku’s tatoo on his chest when he
suddenly walked away, down the gang-plank to shore, with out a word. “Kosei, do you really think we may be siblings?”
asked Binka in a soft voice. “Possibly… Are you adopted?” asked Kosei. “Yes, I was, and I know for a fact that I had
brother.” said Binka looking down to were Haku was staring at the port ahead of them. “Well, lets get off this boat.” said
Kosei in a cheerful voice.
They were all off the boat when Haku decided it was time to go. “Kosei-kun, let’s get moving.” Said Haku. “Hey, can I
come along?” asked Binka. “We don’t need an annoying trouble maker one this trip.” said Haku. “Why can’t she come
along?” questioned Kosei. “She’s useless. She probably can’t even pick up a sword!” yelled Haku. “I can too pick up a
sword! I could chop your head off if I felt like it!” screamed Binka at Haku. “Ha, prove it!” said Haku in a sly voice. “Fine, I
will, fight me!” said Binka. The two got into their stances and began. “Yahhhhhh!!” yelled Haku at the top of his lungs as he
ran at Binka, sword raised high. At the last second, Binka pulls out her sword from it’s sleith and defended. Haku hit the
sword over and over but couldn’t knock it out of her hands. All of a sudden, Binka started fighting instead of defending. She
poked her sword close to Haku’s chest, but didn’t cut him. Then she pulled back and ran at Haku, zigzagging so all his hits
missed. Finally she ran past him and knelt. Haku seemed to be in a trance. Binka put her sword back in it’s sleith, and as
soon as it clicked, Haku’s left cheek was cut and bleeding. “Wow, nice moves you got there” Kosei said. “So, can I come
along now?” asked Binka walking up to Haku, holding a handkerchief. “Fine, come along if you want. Just don’t expect me
to defend you if your in trouble.” said Haku. “I don’t need your protection.” said Binka, blotting Haku’s cut with the
handkerchief. “Your lucky she wasn’t too mad there, Haku-kun, or else you might have been Sushi!” said Kosei in a comical voice.
The trio were traveling again, this time through town. The town of Itoigawa. “So, were are you from?” asked Kosei to
Binka. “Here actually. I have a older step-sister, a step-mother, and step-father. The house is out of the town area, though.”
answered Binka. “How did you learn to sword fight?” asked Kosei. “My step-sister taught me.” said Binka. “Okay, here’s my
last question. How old are you” asked Kosei. “I am 18. Just turned 18 a month ago.” said Binka. “Hey, isn’t that strange,
Haku turned 18 a month ago too.” said Kosei sly sounding. “Humm… wonder what that could mean.” said Binka in
response. Haku didn’t say any thing, just got a little red in the face.
“So what is it you are searching for?” asked Binka. ” Were looking for a man who has the Stone of Seikatsu. He is also the
one who murdered my father.” said Kosei. “Oh. Hey, is Haku the boring here always this quiet?” whispered Binka. “Yeah,
pretty much.” said Kosei. All of a sudden, Haku, who had been leading the group, turned around and he grabbed Binka’s
pony-tail and cut it off with his sword then threw it in her face. “Talk about what you want, but don’t ever talk about me
behind my back, got it!?” Hissed Haku. “Okay, what ever you say.” said Binka in a trembling voice. “Good!” said Haku.
Then he turned and started walking again. “What was that about, Haku-kun?” asked Kosei. “She just thinks she can waltz in
here and run the whole show. You have to be strict with a girl like that!” said Haku. “Your starting to sound a little to much
like your father, Haku-kun, thinking girls can’t be trusted and can’t do anything.” said Kosei. “Now your going to her side.
Ugh… Now I see why you can only marry once your 18, you would become putty in a girl’s hands if your not strict and
show who’s boss.” said Haku. “You shouldn’t be so mean to her, especially since she’s your twin sister!” yelled Kosei. “She
is not my sister!” yelled Haku, sounding very annoyed. “What evidence do you have that she isn’t your sister?” said Kosei.
“There’s no way I am related to that little bitch!” screamed Haku. “I…(sniff) didn’t know you (sniff) hated me this much!”
cried Binka, tears running down her cheeks. She ran to a small wood close to the road they were on. “Now look what
you’ve done!” said Kosei in a pissed voice as he ran after her. Haku stood there staring at the wood, then ran after Kosei.
Kosei and Haku found her siting on a tree stump. “We should talk to her.” whispered Kosei. “No, I should. It was my fault.”
said Haku “But do you think she will listen.” asked Kosei. “I don’t know.” said Haku as he walked at the weeping Binka.
“Hi, why are you just siting here?” asked Haku in a unsure tone. Binka just slapped him on the face and turned away.
“Ouch.. Happy now? Was that your revenge? Come on! Won’t you talk to me?” asked Haku. She just shook he head ‘no’.
“Well, even if your not listening to me, I just want to say I am really…. sorry.” said Haku. “Why (sniff)did you do(sniff)
that?(sniff)It’s taken (sniff) me a life time(sniff) to grow my (sniff)hair that long. Then(sniff) you insult me(sniff).” cried
Binka quietly. Haku sat next to her on the tree stump and put his left arm around her. Then with his right hand, ran his
fingers through her now short hair. “Because, it’s just I don’t know how to treat you. Are you just some girl I met, or really
my sister.” whispered Haku, calming. He then forced her to look him in the eyes, his violet eyes met her eyes of the same
color. He wiped away her tears. He let go of her, stood up and gave her a hand up.
Before anything was said, out of the dark forest they saw a red glow. “It’s… the Seikatsu, I am sure of it!” whispered Kosei
to his comrades. Out of the wood came the same knight they saw at the port. “Give me the Seikatsu, you murderer!” yelled
Kosei. The knight walked up to him and picked him up by the shirt collar. “Listen kid! I don’t want you little shrimps to get
in my way, and if you do, I will have to teach you a lesson!” hissed the knight. “Who are you!?” asked Kosei in a stern voice.
“Ha, I can’t believe you don’t know who I am. I am Kukatsu, Knight of Darkness, and I am going to rule this planet with this
stone of power!” said Kukatsu. “I think it’s time for you to give him the stone, Mr. Darkness. ” hissed Haku as he pulled out
his sword and prepared to fight. “Ha, don’t make me laugh, your sword is a small toothpick to my Zwiehander.” laughed
Kukatsu. “I am not scared of you.” said Haku. Kukatsu dropped Kosei and faced Haku, ready to fight. “Your going to be
sorry” said Kukatsu. Haku ran about and zigzagged as Binka had shown him in their battle, jumped behind Kukatsu and
tried to choke him, but the armor around Kukatsu’s neck stopped him. Kukatsu grabbed Haku and was about to throw him
against a tree when Binka came to the rescue. “Let my brother go!” Binka yelled as she ran to save Haku. She jabbed her
sword trough Kukatsu, making him drop Haku. Kukatsu quickly recovered by the power of Seikatsu and was about to
attack when the tatoos on Binka’s and Haku’s chests began to light up. The faced each other and pressed there palms
together and yelled “Double Cresent!”. Then a blue moon beam surrounded them. The beam turned into a powerful laser
that blasted Kukatsu out of the wood, into the sky and beyond. Unluckily the beam blew the sword away with him so they
still didn’t have the Seikatsu.
When the beam was gone, Haku and Binka collapsed. “Hey, are you two alright?”asked Kosei, running to them. “Yea, just a
little tired.” said Haku softly, trying to sit up. “How did you do that?” questioned Kosei in amazement. “Cause we’re Twin
Fighters.” said Binka weakly. “What’s a Twin Fighter?” enquired Kosei. “It’s a legend I was told, Twin Fighters are Twins
that have a the same magical tatoo one their bodies. Those two twins, when in danger can summon a great power.” said
Binka softly. “So you two are twins.” said Kosei cheerfully. “Yep.” said Haku. He stood up and helped Binka to her feet.
She almost fell down again, but Haku held her with his strong arms. Binka stood on her toes and kissed Haku on the cheek.
“I love you bro.” said Binka in a happy, soft tone. “Love you too sis.” answered Haku. “Sorry for interrupting, but do you
need rest or should we get on with our journey?” asked Kosei. “I am a bit tired, but I think I keep going.” said Binka. “I feel
about fine now, so I can walk more.” said Haku. “Okay, lets get going then. “said Kosei.
“What a pretty field! The wind feels so refreshing.” sighed Binka in a happy tone. “We should move quickly, we could be
attacked by enemies out in the open like this.”said Haku in a serious voice. “Ohhhh…. and I wanted to pick some flowers!”
groaned Binka. “You can pick flowers some other time.” said Haku as he grabbed Binka by the hand and pulled her so she
would start walking. A couple hours walking through the field, Binka was getting tired. “Ohhhh… I can’t go on, I am tired
and hungry.” groaned Binka. “We gota keep moving, Binka” said Kosei. Haku walked over to Binka ,who was sitting on the
ground, and picked her up and started carrying her. “Are you sure you can hold me?” asked Binka. “Yeah. Your pretty light”
said Haku. Binka wrapped her arms around Haku’s neck and laid her head on his right shoulder. “Well aren’t you two cute?”
said Kosei in a teasing tone. Haku shoot him a evil glance and continued on their journey.
“Hey, I see a well from here, maybe it has water in it!” said Kosei with delight. “Water, oh, I am so thirsty.” said Binka.
“Were only a couple yards or so from it, so lets get going.” said Kosei, still very happy. On the way there, Haku took a
glance at Binka to make sure she was okay. She was practically asleep in his arms. He stared at her for a minute or so when
she opened her eyes all of a sudden, catching Haku looking at her. He blushed and quicky turned his head forward. Binka
took her left hand and moved his head to face her. “You don’t have to always conceal your feelings, Haku-kun” said Binka
in a sweet voice as she ran her fingers through his hair, causing him to blush even more. She kissed him on the cheek and let
him turn his head forward to concentrate on walking. After reaching the well, the trio took a rest. “It feels good to rest, my
feet are killing me” said Kosei in a relieved tone. “Berrr… is it just me, or did it get a little cold around here” said Binka.
“Now that you mention it, it is getting kind of cold” said Haku in agreement. All of a sudden, Kukatsu appeared before
them. “Kukatsu! Give me the Seikatsu!” said Kosei, somewhat choking. “Oh I didn’t come to give you anything, except for
your death wishes!” Laughed Kukatsu as he was about to kill Kosei right on the spot. All of a sudden, a girl with brunette
hair came rushing out of nowhere and saved Kosei. “Heyahhhh!!!!” yelled the girl as she knocked Kukatsu’s sword to one
side, trying to stick her Zwiehander though Kukatsu. The two started to sword fight. They were both well skilled and neither
one was able to give a hit. “I’ll deal with you ants later!” hissed Kukatsu as he backed-off and vanished.
“That was easy” said the girl to herself under her breath. “Hey, who are you” asked Kosei as the girl was about to leave.
“Humm… Oh, you guys are still here?” said the girl. “Uh yeah! And who might you be?” asked Haku in serious voice.
“Who… Me? Oh, my name’s Gyo`kan Kaon.” said the girl of the name of Kaon. “Thanks for saving me. Nice sword skill you
have.” said Kosei in a friendly voice. “All in a day’s work” said Kaon. “All in a days work? You mean you fight Kukatsu
every day?” asked Binka. “Kukatsu? Never heard of the guy. I am just wondering around, trying to find the Seikatsu.” said
Kaon. “Your looking for the Seikatsu too?” questioned Kosei. “Yeah! I want to find it and get a reward from the Heimu
family for returning it to them.”Said Kaon, looking quite pleased. “Well, so are we, but not for a reward. But for Kosei, who
lost his father when the Seikatsu was stolen from him.”said Haku, very serious. “You mean this guy here is the son of the
man who owned the Seikatsu?” asked Kaon, pointing to Kosei. “Yep” said Binka. “I didn’t know the Seikatsu was known
about this far from my home.” said Kosei. “Well it is. And also the return of you and some other kid to your village also
gives a reward.” said Kaon, smiling in a evil way. “You can forget taking Kosei and I back there, at least not until we have
the Seikatsu in our hands.” said Haku in very low tone. “If you really want to find the Seikatsu, you should come with us.”
said Binka in a friendly voice. “Why?” asked Kaon. “Cause we know where it is, but need to get rid of Kukatsu to get it.”
said Binka. “Who’s this Kukatsu guy you keep speaking of?” asked Kaon. “The knight you just fought” said Kosei. “That
guy, ha, he’s so easy to beat!” said Kaon, boasting. “Hey, what’s that on your hand?” Binka asked. “Oh… this. I was born
with this tatoo. It’s also the reason why I am adopted to a family.” said Kaon, holding up her hand.
“Is it okay to go into the town? I need to buy supplies.” said Kaon. “Sure go ahead.” said Binka. “You should be careful, I
have a bad feeling. Are you sure you don’t want a escort?” asked Kosei, sounding quite concerned. “I’ll be fine. I am a strong
girl, I can take care of myself.” said Kaon proudly. “Well okay…” said Kosei, sounding unsure. “Okay, I’ll be back in a
couple minutes.” said Kaon running down the street to what looked to be alley. “Think she’ll be alright?” asked Haku.
“Yeah, she can handle herself.” answered Binka.
Kaon walked into her favorite shop in a dark alley. “Not too much money lost.” said Kaon to herself as she came out the
door to the alley, bag in hands. “Prepare to die…” hissed a voice. “Who’s there?!” asked Kaon, her voice trembling
somewhat as she dropped her bag. A dark shadow fell upon her as she saw the red glow of the Seikatsu. “Kukatsu…!” Kaon
said. “Just cooperate and this won’t hurt… much” laughed Kukatsu, sword raised high. “I don’t think so.” said Kaon as she
pulled out her sword and started to fight. There was sparks of light as the two large blades clashed with one another. It was
bright enough to light up the whole alley.
“Hey, what’s that light coming from the alley?” asked Kosei. “I don’t know, but I have a feeling something’s extremely
wrong.” said Haku as he motioned for Kosei and Binka to follow him to the alley.
“Give it up, you can’t beat the great Kukatsu!” hissed Kukatsu. “I can too beat you, and I will too!” answered Kaon in a
serious voice. Kaon suddenly noticed Kukatsu’s eyes. His eye’s were of a beautiful aqua blue and looked so innocent to
belong to the likes of Kukatsu. Kaon almost let her guard down by being in a trance when Haku came the rescue. “Take this,
Kukatsu!” yelled Haku as he ran and smacked Kukatsu in the back with his sword. Kukatsu stood for a second or so as the
Seikatsu made quick time of healing him and he was ready to kill them all. “Heyahhhh!!” yelled Kosei as he kicked Kukatsu
in the stomach. Kukatsu hit Kaon, Haku and Kosei further into the alley with his sword. Then turned fast and cut Binka on
the stomach. “Hhh..h…h..” blurted Binka as she felt the pain from the cut surge trough her body. “BINKA!” screamed Haku
as he tried to go to her, but Kukatsu corned them. “Time for you three the suffer the same fate of her” hissed Kukatsu,
Sword raised high. “Stop it. please Kukatsu!” yelled Kaon in a hoping voice. Kukatsu was frozen as he heard her words.
“Your not evil! I can see it in your eyes that you’re a good person! Please stop!” yelled Kaon. Before Kukatsu could
respond, Binka threw her sword at his helmet, knocking it off to the ground. This startled him and he dropped his sword and
quickly fell to the ground. “Haku! grab the sword!” yelled Binka with all her might. Haku grabbed the sword and helmet and
gave them to Kosei. He quickly ran over to Kukatsu, who was down on his hands and knees, face faced down, and put his
sword under Kukatsu’s throat. “If you leave this place and never come back, I might let you go” said Haku. Kosei went to
Binka and got out some bandages from Kaon’s dropped bag. Kaon put her arm on Haku’s sholder as to mean ‘let me try
something’. She knelt to her knees to be even with Kukatsu. She reached out and started to run her fingers throat Kukatsu’
long brunette hair that covered his face. Then she put both her hands on both sides of his head and forced him to look her in
the eyes. She gasped when she saw his face. He has a scar on the right side of his chin and a narrow face. His hair framed his
face nicely. He had the look on his face of a scared little child, even thought he looked to be the same age as Kaon, 18. His
pure aqua eyes, that were very wide right then, completed his handsome looking face. This was nothing she had expected to
see from their enemy. She ran her fingers over his scar, she then noticed he had a tatoo on his right hand that had be under
the fabric torn away trough battle. She then looked deep into his eyes, and held up her left hand for him to see. “Brother…?”
Kaon asked in a unsure voice. Kukatsu’s eyes got even wider when she said this and saw the same tatoo on her hand that
was on his. As soon as he saw how evil he had been, a black mist blew off him and vanished. Kukatsu’s eyes started to
water, remembering along time ago of him having a close companion. “Sister…” said Kukatsu in a sad but happy tone. Kaon
rapped her arms around his neck at which Haku pulls his sword away to let Kukatsu hug her back. “They’re twins, aren’t
they” said Binka to Haku. Haku gave a nod with a smile on his face. They had another new friend, and had the Seikatsu at
last.
“It’s good to have my brother back with me.” said Kaon, still hugging Kukatsu. Kukatsu lets go of her and stands up and
walks over to Kosei who has his sword. Kukatsu picks up the sword and pulls the Seikatsu off it and hands it to Kosei.
“This is what you want, right?” said Kukatsu. “Uh.. thanks” said Kosei, slightly unsure, but friend like as he takes the
Seikatsu. “So you have the Seikatsu, so are you going home?” asked Binka, in a slight sad sounding voice. “Well, we might
go back and at least give the Seikatsu to my mother to take care of.” said Kosei. Kukatsu notices Haku walking over to
Binka, who was getting paler by the minute. “Do you feel any better?” asked Haku. “No, I hate to say. I feel weaker and
weaker every minute or so” said Binka in a very soft tone. “It’s because she won’t stop bleeding. ” said Kosei, in a sad voice.
“What are we going to do?” asked Kaon. “Kosei, use the Seikatsu to heal her.” said Kukatsu finally. “What? But how?”
asked Kosei. Kukatsu walked over and made Kosei give him the Seikatsu. Then he handed the stone to Haku. “Do what
ever comes.” said Kukatsu. Haku shut his eyes and looked deep in thought. He held the Seikatsu close to his chest and it
started to glow. Then Haku glowed Red with the stone. He opened his eyes slowly and put the Seikatsu in Binka’s hands.
Then held her close to him. He was still glowing red. He then kissed Binka on her lips and he slowly stopped glowing as
Binka started to glow red. Their tatoo’s lite up and Binka’s bandages disappeared, showing her stomach was fully healed.
When neither was glowing anymore, Haku stopped kissing her. She let go of the Seikatsu and sat up, then gave a smile
saying ‘I feel fine now’. Her color had returned, but Haku looked a bit paler now. “Need a hand up?” asked Kosei to Haku.
“No… I can get up myself.” said Haku, but as soon as he was up, he fell down again. “The Seikatsu must have given some of
your blood the Binka, Haku.” said Kaon, observingly. “I guess.” said Haku. Binka gave him a hand up and put her arm on
his sholder to help him walk. The Seikatsu was still on the ground. “How did you know the Seikatsu would heal her,
Kukatsu?” asked Kosei. “I healed me when I was hurt so I guessed it would work on her too. And please call me Onkatsu.”
said Kukatsu. “Is Onkatsu your real name?” asked Kaon. “Yeah, I am pretty sure.” said Onkatsu. “You mean you don’t fully
know?” asked Kaon. “I can’t remember for sure. I had that name when I was in the adoption center, I think.” said Onkatsu.
Suddenly, there was a purple flash that swished by the Seikatsu, then It was gone. “Wha.. The Seikatsu, Its…” said Kosei,
unbelieving. “Ha, ha, ha, ha. I have it now, the Seikatsu is mine.” laughed a voice. “Look, over there!” said Binka, looking at
the opening of the Alley. There was a Weird looking Girl standing there, with the Seikatsu hooked to her skirt. “Give that
back you Demon!” yelled Kosei. “I don’t think so, or my name isn’t Hatsuniku.” said the girl by the name of Hatsuniku. She
vanished in a cloud of smoke and left the 5 alone in the alley. “Damn it!” yelled Kosei as he hit the wall of the alley with his
fist. “We can get it back, Kosei. As long as we work together I am sure we will.” said Kaon in a hopeful voice. “We were so
close to having it back.” groaned Kosei. “How will we find Hatsuniku?” asked Haku. “I know someone that might know
were she can be found.” said Onkatsu. “Who!?” asked Kosei. “Come, I can show you.” said Onkatsu. Kosei, Kaon, Haku,
and Binka followed Onkatsu to a shabby looking house a couple blocks away from the alley. Onkatsu banged on the door
loudly. Someone opened the door a crack and looked at the 5. He was about to close the door in fear when Onkatsu pushed
it open. “Kukatsu, what do you want!? I already gave you the directions on where to find the Seikatsu so you wouldn’t kill
me!” cried a shabby looking man who was on his hands and knees in front of Onkatsu. Onkatsu picked him up and smashed
him against the wall. “Where is the Demon Girl buy the name of Hatsuniku!” yelled Onkatsu in s monstrous voice.
“Hatsuniku? I… don’t know.” said the man. “Maybe a couple of punches in the gut will make you remember!” hissed
Onkatsu and he prepared a punch. “Stop Onkatsu!” yelled Kaon as she ran in front of the man so he wouldn’t get hurt.
“Kaon…” said Onkatsu as his angry expression slowly left his face. “Why are you being so mean to him?” asked Kaon. “He’s
callous Kukatsu, you stupid girl, he has no heart!” warned the man. “He does too have a heart!” said Kaon to the man. “If
you tell us where Hatsuniku is, we will be glad to leave you alone.”said Binka. “I can’t tell you. If I do, I will be killed!” said
the man. “I will kill you right here on the spot if you don’t tell us right now” yelled Onkatsu, pulling out his sword. “Okay,
I’ll tell you, but you didn’t hear this from me!” said the man. “Tell us already!” said Kosei. “Well, in Joetsu, there is a temple
by a river. Many thinks its’s haunted, but Hatsuniku, and Akuya, two callous ninjas, live there.” said the man. “Joetsu? This
is great, my family lives there, we could probably spend the night in my mother’s mansion.” said Kaon with delight. “Thank
you sir.” said Kosei as the 5 left the poor man by himself.
“La la la la.” hummed Kaon to herself. The five were all good and well, except Onkatsu looked sad. “Onkatsu? What’s going
on, sword getting to heavy or something?” asked Kaon, trying to make him feel better. “No, it’s not that at all.” said
Onkatsu. “You can tell her your darkest secrets, Onkatsu, that’s what siblings are for, right Haku-kun?” said Binka to
Onkatsu, elbowing Haku to get his attention. “Yeah, I guess. ” answered Haku. Onkatsu and Kaon fell a little rather behind
the group so no one would hear them. “Came on, tell me what’s bugging you.” said Kaon in a cheery voice. “Well, It’s just,
meeting your family… I” said Onkatsu not fully sure what to say. “Are you afraid my family will hate you or something?”
asked Kaon. “Not exactly. It’s just, I don’t know how to act in a family, since I wasn’t t raised by a loving family like you
were.” said Onkatsu. “You don’t have to worry about that, bro. It’s only my mom. My father’s dead, and I didn’t have any
step-sisters or step-brothers.”said Kaon, calm sounding. “I don’t know, I would feel kind of weird.” said Onkatsu. “As long
as you don’t go into to a Kukatsu mode, I think you’ll be fine.” said Kaon as she reached up and grabbed a lock of Onkatsu’s
hair and started twirling it around her finger. Kosei in the meantime, was far ahead of the other 4, he had a sad look upon his
face. “Why can’t I have a sister to comfort me and watch over me, and to hold close and give her love from the bottom of
my heart?” said Kosei to himself.
At midnight, the 5 reached the town of Joetsu. “Come on everyone, follow me if you want to sleep in a warm bed tonight.”
said Kaon with a smile upon her face. In the distance, they laid their eyes upon a huge mansion. It looked old, and yet
inviting. Within a couple minutes, the 5 reached the door of the mansion. Kaon knocked on the door. A woman with curly
orange hair opened the door. “Kaon… Is that you honey?” asked the woman. “Yep it’s me mom!” said Kaon, looking quite
happy as she gave her mother a hug. “Who might these people with you be, friends of yours?” asked Kaon’s mom. “Yeah,
and I was hoping that you would let them spend a couple nights in the mansion.”said Kaon. “Well, yes, of course, but I have
rules. Since I see you have weapons with you, leave them at the door. You need to take a shower every day, and must have
good manners.” said Kaon’s mom, sounding pretty serious. They all put their swords at the door and walked in. “There are 4
guest rooms upstairs to the left. All you should get to bed as soon as you are in your room.” said Kaon’s mom. Haku, Binka,
and Kosei went up the stairs to guest rooms. Kaon stopped Onkatsu from going up the stairs. “What are you doing?” asked
Onkatsu to Kaon. Before he was answered, Kaon brought him over to her mother. “Mom, I would like you to meet my twin
brother, Onkatsu.” said Kaon proudly. “Twin? You don’t have a twin Kaon.” said Kaon’s mom. “Yes I do, we have the same
tatoo on our opposite hands.” said Kaon as she held up her hand and Onkatsu’s hand. “Well, well. You sure don’t look like
my daughter’s twin, Onkatsu.” said Kaon’s mom, as she circled around him, looking him over. Kaon’s mom then just started
to notice Onkatsu’s hair. She grabbed a lock of it and pulled her finger’s trough it to wear it ended, which was at his mid
back. Kaon looked sleepy and gave a yawn. “You can go to bed Kaon.” said Kaon’s mom. “But…” said Kaon, sleepy
sounding. “Go onto bed, Kaon.” said Onkatsu. Kaon took that as an order and went up to her room. “Now, Onkatsu, I think
we need to discuss a bit about your hair.” said Kaon’s mom. “What, is there a problem with it?” asked Onkatsu. “Well, isn’t
that so much to take care of?” said Kaon’s mom. Onkatsu gave her a puzzled look. “Wait here for a moment.” said Kaon’s
mom as she quickly walked to another room in the big house. When she came back, Onkatsu saw she was holding a pair of
scissors.”How about I give you a trim?” Kaon’s mom asked. ” Why do you want me to cut my hair?” asked Onkatsu. “Well,
Onkatsu, to tell you the truth, I want my daughter’s brother to be a gentleman, and you do not look like one.” said Kaon’s
mom. “Kaon likes me fine the way I am, Gyo`kan-san. “said Onkatsu. “Even if she does, you have to have that hair of your’s
cut. If you refuse, I won’t let you see Kaon ever again!” threatened Kaon’s mom. Onkatsu looked scared as he looked up at
Kaon’s room, then fingered his hair. “Well?” asked Kaon’s mom. “Can I have a day to decide?” asked Onkatsu. “Fine, but
tomorrow night, you have to have made up your mind.” said Kaon’s mom, looking nice. Onkatsu went up to the last open
guest room and closed the door.
“I had a good nights sleep. I loved the soft bed.” sighed Binka happily. “My body doesn’t ache like it usually does when I
wake up in the mornings.” said Kosei. “I felt warm, I usually feel cold at night.” said Haku. The three babbled on about the
beds and all for a while. Kaon was still up stairs. “Onkatsu, you awake?” asked Kaon in a sweet voice as she entered his
room. He was still asleep when sat on his bed. “He looks so angelic when he’s asleep.” said Kaon as she ran her fingers over
his silk like hair. He suddenly opened his eyes. “Kaon…” said Onkatsu in a yawn. “Ready to get up?” asked Kaon. “I
guess…” said Onkatsu. “You can take a shower right now, it might wake you up some.” suggested Kaon. “(yawn) okay…”
yawned Onkatsu.
After Onkatsu was out of the shower, Kaon was still in his room. “Kaon!? why are you still in here.?” said Onkatsu, blushing
since he was practically nude. “I thought I could help you get ready faster.” said Kaon, giving a smile. Onkatsu got on his
under suit he wears under his armor. Kaon pulled out a brush and towel and started drying his hair, then brushed it. “Did you
know your hair’s breathtaking?” asked Kaon in a cute little voice. “Do you really think so?” answered Onkatsu. “Yeah. It’s
shiny, It’s soft, and long.” said Kaon as she nuzzled her face into his soft hair. “What if, I had it cut really short?” asked
Onkatsu. “How dare you even think of doing that!” said Kaon. “I had a feeling you would say that.” said Onkatsu. “Your
not planning to do that are you?” asked Kaon, sounding concerned. “I… no.” said Onkatsu. “Good…” said Kaon with a
smile. After they were all downstairs, the five went out to get some breakfast. “What took you two so long to get up? We’re
starving!” Joked Kosei. “Talking about secrets again?” said Binka sly sounding. “Maybe.” said Kaon back.
At breakfast, the 5 discussed how to get the Seikatsu back. “Let’s not do the plan till later this week, I don’t feel that well.”
said Onkatsu. “Did you eat too much, Onkatsu?” asked Kaon, patting him on the back. “Maybe.” said Onkatsu. “How about
a nice outing?” asked Kaon. “Humm… what do you mean?” asked Onkatsu. “Just come with me.” said Kaon as she stood up
and pulled Onkatsu to his feet and lead him out the door. “Remind you of any body?” asked Haku to Binka. “Yep, plenty.”
said Binka as she laid her head on Haku’s sholder.
“Come on, Come on, your too slow!” said Kaon to Onkatsu as she pulled him by the hand to follow her.”Where are we
going?” asked Onkatsu. “You’ll see.” said Kaon. They came to a sunny side of a hill under a cherry tree. “Isn’t it pretty?”
asked Kaon. “What?” asked Onkatsu. “This spot, silly.” said Kaon. “Oh. Yeah.” answered Onkatsu. “I used to play right
here when I was little. I would have fake sword fights with my cousin.” said Kaon. “Really?” asked Onkatsu as he sat down
on the soft green grass. “Yep.” said Kaon as she sat next to him. Kaon all of a sudden crawled into Onkatsu’s lap and
nuzzled her face into his chest. Onkatsu blushed a little, then rapped his arms around her and placed his chin on her head, at
which his hair fell over his shoulders and onto Kaon’s. Kaon grabbed a lock of his hair and played with it. “His body is so
warm. So loving. Oh… I can hardly believe a day ago, Onkatsu was trying to kill me.” thought Kaon to herself. “Onkatsu,
What did you and my mom talk about after I left?” asked Kaon, breaking the moment. “Humm… well, nothing. She just said
good-night and I went to bed. Why do ask?” said Onkatsu. “Just wanted to make sure you two were getting along alright.”
said Kaon.
Later that day, it was getting late in the night. “(Yawn) I feel sleepy.” yawned Binka. “Let me take you upstairs.” said Haku
as he picked her up and took her to her room. “I think I’ll hit the hay myself” yawned Kosei. “Aren’t you tired, Kaon?” asked
Kaon’s mom. “No, (yawn) not yet.” said Kaon, trying to stay awake on the soft couch in the main hall. Kaon laid her head
on Onkatsu’s sholder and closed her eyes, with a smile upon her face. Onkatsu put his arm around her. Kaon’s mother gave
him a glare that could turn you to stone. “Kaon, maybe you should get onto bed.” said Onkatsu. “But…” said Kaon. “Go
on.” said Onkatsu. “Can you take me there, I feel to tired to walk.” Yawned Kaon. “Okay.” said Onkatsu as he picked her
up and carried her to her room. Her mother glared at him the whole time he took her up the stairs. “Onkatsu, can you stay in
here with me for a while?” asked Kaon as Onkatsu put her in her bed. “Sorry, I need to do something right now, Kaon” said
Onkatsu. “This something is more important than me?” asked Kaon, in a joking way. “No, just urgent. See you in the
morning, Kaon” said Onkatsu and her kissed her on her forehead. Then Onkatsu walked out of the room and shut the door.
“So… what’s your decision?” asked Kaon’s mom from down the stairs. Onkatsu walked down the stairs. He pulled a stool
out of the book room and a small cloth. Then he sat down on the stool and rapped the cloth around his neck. “I can’t live
without Kaon. Cut it.” said Onkatsu, with a saddened look on his face. ” I knew you would agree with me.” said Kaon’s
mom as she grabbed the scissors. With a couple snips, a inch was gone. Another couple snips and another inch was gone.
This went on for couple minutes. It about half and inch blow his sholder when upstairs, a door slowly creeps open. Kaon
was awake, hoping Onkatsu was done with whatever he was doing and would come back up to wish her good night. She
looked out and couldn’t believe what she saw. “Mother, What are you doing! Stop it!” yelled Kaon as she ran down the
stairs and jumped onto Onkatsu and knocked him off the stool. “Kaon, are you alright honey?” asked Kaon’s mom as she
gave her daughter a hand up. “What were you thinking!” yelled Kaon at her mother as she hit her mother’s hand away.
“Kaon… I” Kaon’s mother stuttered. Kaon crawled over to Onkatsu and put her hand on his shoulder. “Are you okay?”
asked Kaon. “Yeah.” answered Onkatsu. “Why didn’t you stop her from doing this?” asked Kaon. “If I did, I wouldn’t be
able to see you again.” said Onkatsu. “And your not until you look like a gentleman.” said Kaon’s mother. “You expect a
orphaned boy raised by an evil family to be a gentleman?” questioned Kaon to her mother. “What? I… didn’t know that. I am
so… sorry” said Kaon’s mom. “You should be.” said Kaon.
“Bye Gyo`kan-san.” said Kosei as he and the other 4 went on their way to the temple on the river. leaving the Mansion. “I
am going to miss those warm beds.” sighed Binka. “But once we have the Seikatsu and have it back were it belongs, you can
sleep in a nice bed for the rest of your life.” said Haku. “Yeah, I guess.” answered Binka. “But for now, I can keep you
warm.” said Haku as he gave Binka kiss on the cheek. “Will you two hurry up?” asked Kosei, who was already a couple
yards away. “Coming!” said Haku as he grabbed Binka by the hand and ran to catch up.
“Are you sure your okay?” asked Kaon to Onkatsu. “Yeah, I feel great.” said Onkatsu with a smile. “I think you would look
a little sad about what happened last night.” said Kaon. “Not much. But to tell you the truth, I glad to get on the road
again.” said Onkatsu, looking very content. “I feel tired, and it feels like this sword is getting heavier every minute.” said
Kaon, looking out of it. “Climb on.” said Onkatsu. Kaon gave a puzzled look. “On my back, I can carry you.” said Onkatsu.
“Are you sure you can carry me, my sword, and your sword?” asked Kaon. “Yeah.” said Onkatsu as Kaon climbed onto his
back. “Hold on, but don’t choke me.” said Onkatsu, comically. Kaon gave a nod as she grasped her hands onto Onkatsu’s
shoulders and nuzzled her face into the back of his hair.
“Are we close yet?” asked Binka after a few hours. “I can’t say. I see a river, but no temple.” said Kosei. “Oh… I want
action, I am getting bored.” wined Binka. Suddenly, a purplish streak rushed across the trees. “Hey, what was that?” asked
Kosei when he saw the streak out of the corner of his eye. “What was what?” asked Haku. “That streak, didn’t you see it?”
asked Kosei. “What streak?” asked Haku. “It was up there.” said Kosei. “You must have been seeing things.” said Binka.
“Keep on your guard anyways.” said Onkatsu still holding Kaon who was asleep. “Who dares walk on the land close to
Jisatsu Temple?” asked a voice. “Who’s there?” asked Kosei. All of a sudden, the Seikatsu was floating in mind air. “What
the…” said Haku. “If you want to get to Jisatsu Temple, you have to fight me!” said Hatsuniku as she reveled herself out of
thin air where the Seikatsu floating. “How…” stuttered Binka, eyes very wide. “Yahhhh!!!” yelled Kosei as he ran at
Hatsuniku and started to kick and punch. Hatsuniku dodged every punch and kick Kosei tried to nail on her. “(Yawn) you
sure suck at the Martial Arts, boy. Let me show you how its done.” laughed Hatsuniku with a evil grin. She flipped over
Kosei then rolled around him and tripped him. Then Hatsuniku jumped into a tree and jumped down and kicked Kosei in the
stomach before he could get up. “What are we waiting for? We gota help Kosei!” told Haku to the other three. “Time to
fight, get your sword Kaon, it’s time to kick some ninja behind!” said Onkatsu to Kaon. Kaon gave a nod and grabbed her
sword. “Aww… 5 on 1 is so unfair, let me even the odds.” said Hatsuniku smiling evilly. She started to dance around the
five, making copies of herself so they were surrounded. “What kind of trickery is this?” hissed Haku with discuss. “Child’s
play” said Onkatsu under his breath. “What?” asked Kaon. Onkatsu didn’t answer. He just closed his eyes and concentrated
his energy to his sword. The sword lite up with a bright white glow. “The real Demon is that one!” yelled Onkatsu as he
opened his eyes and cut the stomach of one of the Hatsunikius. All the copies disappeared leaving the real Hatsuniku holdingher stomach, eyes wide. “That boy… How did he know how to stop the illusion trick?” thought Hatsuniku to herself as she moved back a little. “No matter! Seikatsu! Destroy these pest!” yelled Hatsuniku to the sky as the Seikatsu glowed a dark blood red. “Yahhhhhh!!!” yelled Hatsuniku as the Seikatsu sent a large beam of red energy at the five. “Oh no…” said Kosei.
“Double Cresent!” yelled Binka and Haku as the blue moon beam showered down on them and shot a beam of blue at the
red beam. “Get behind us.” said Binka to Kosei, Kaon and Onkatsu. “Ha ha ha, your simple little power can’t beat the power
of the Seikatsu!” laughed Hatsuniku. “She’s right. The red beam is getting closer. We can’t do this on our own.” said Haku.
“Wait, Kaon, Onkatsu. You two have the tatoos. You should have a power.” said Binka remembering the tatoos on Kaon
and Onkatsu’s hands. “She’s right look” said Kaon, looking at her tatoo that was glowing green. Kaon and Onkatsu sunk to
their knees and put their palms together and concentrated when a green wind blew around them. “Cursed Wind!” yelled
Onkatsu and Kaon as the green wind turned into a strong tornado that helped the blue moon beam in fighting the Seikatsu’s power. “No… this can’t be!” said Hatsuniku as she stared in disbelief at the strong red beam being pushed back by the two pair’s of twins powers. “Hatsuniku, come!” yelled a man with long green hair. “Akuya!” said Hatsuniku as he quickly grabbed her as the two powers demolished a couple trees behind were Hatsuniku had been standing. “Come back here you demons!” yelled Kosei to the sky as they disappeared. Kaon, Onkatsu, Haku, and Binka all collapsed as soon at the powers left for the time. “Wow… I didn’t know we had that kind of power!” said Kaon as she tried to get up. “Take your time in
recovering, those powers take a lot out of you, Binka and I should know.” said Haku. “Your right…” said Kaon as she fell back to the ground.
“Now that I think about it, this is all your fault, Onkatsu!” said Kosei with fire in his eyes. “What?” asked Onkatsu. “If you hadn’t stolen the Seikatsu and killed my father in the first place, none of this would have happened!” yelled Kosei as he ran and jumped onto Onkatsu, wrestling on the ground, trying to punch Onkatsu. “Kosei-kun! Stop this!” said Kaon. Kosei landed two punches to Onkatsu’s face, making his nose bleed. Onkatsu returned the hits with a punch in the stomach. Kosei rolled onto his side and held his stomach in pain. “Sorry Kosei.” said Onkatsu. “Can you get up?” asked Binka to Kosei. Kosei didn’t answer. “Kosei, I don’t know what you’re talking about, because I didn’t get the Seikatsu from your father, I stole it from Hatsuniku.” said Onkatsu. “What!?” gasped Kosei. “You mean that Hatsuniku had the Seikatsu first?” asked Kaon. “I guess. I don’t know for sure if she had it first, or if she stole it from someone else.” said Onkatsu. “Then, you didn’t murder my father?” asked Kosei to Onkatsu. “No, all I know is that I was told the demon Hatsuniku had the Seikatsu and
that I should steal it to get it.” said Onkatsu. “Then that demon girl must be the murderer.” said Kosei under his breath.
“Here, let me help” said Kaon as she walked over to Onkatsu, holding a small cloth. “Thank you.” said Onkatsu as Kaon blotted at Onkatsu’s bloody nose with the cloth.
Chapter 10: The Jisatsu Temple
“So we know where Hatsuniku and Akuya are, but how do we get in?” asked Kaon to the other 4. “Sneak in?” Binka put in.
“That would probably be the best way.” agreed Kosei. “I don’t know if I can sneak about.” said Haku with a frown. “Just
follow my lead.” said Binka.
The 5 carefully made their way to the temple. Trying to be silent the whole way. “We made it.” whispered Kosei, relieved
when the went into the cellar of the temple from the outside. “We should make our way up.” whispered Onkatsu. After
getting up to the main floor, the five saw a red glow coming from on of the prayer rooms. “That must be it.” said Kaon, with
a smile. “Lets grab it before we’re found out.” whispered Haku. “Oh, but you are already found out.” said a voice. “Where
are you, we know who you are. Come out and fight!” hissed Onkatsu, sword ready. “Okay, here we come! said another
voice, sly sounding. Hatsuniku jumped out from one of the rooms. Akuya floated down from above, right in front of Kosei.
“Give me the Seikatsu!” ordered Kosei to Akuya. “I don’t take orders from a boy.” hissed Akuya, sword in hand. “Besides,
it’s not his to give.” said Hatsuniku, the Seikatsu hooked to her skirt. “Give it to me!” yelled Haku as he ran at Hatsuniku,
swinging his sword wildly. “(Yawn) do you have anything better to offer than simple sword play?” asked Hatsuniku,
dodging all the strikes. “If you won’t give me the Seikatsu freely, I will just have to force you to!” yelled Kosei as he
prepared a punch. Akuya just dogged it and karate-chopped Kosei in the back, knocking him to the floor. “Fight with
someone your own size.” hissed Onkatsu. “Gladly” said Akuya. The two both faced each other, swords ready. Akuya shut
his eyes and meditated, chanting ‘devil give me strength’ over and over. “The devil with give you nothing but pain!” yelled
Onkatsu as he ran at Akuya with his sword ready to kill. Akuya quicky opened his eyes and vanished right before Onkatsu
smashed his sword into where Akuya was standing. “Where did you go demon!?” hissed Onkatsu. “Onkatsu, behind you!”
yelled Kaon. Akuya appeared behind him. “Give up fool!” hissed Akuya as he kicked Onkatsu’s sword out of hand and
forced him to his knees. “Let go of him you brut!” yelled Kaon as she jumped on the back on Akuya, trying to choke him.
“Ha, so simple minded.” laughed Akuya as he threw her off him. “You shall die first!” hissed Akuya as he held his sword at
Kaon’s troat. “You touch her and your dead!” hissed Onkatsu from under Akuya’s foot, trying to get up. “I wouldn’t be
talking in your position.” said Akuya as he put more of his weight on Onkatsu. “Get away demon ninja!” yelled Kosei as he
punched Akuya in the back of the head. “Ugh… your still awake… your suppose to be half dead!” hissed Akuya.
“This is getting sad blonde…” yawned Hatsuniku, still dodging Haku’s sword. “Maybe I can give you a good fight!” said
Binka as she kicked Hatsuniku in the back. “You pitiful people don’t play fair, ha, but then again, neither do I.” laughed
Hatsuniku as she started to dance around Haku and Binka, doing her illusion trick. “Keep close to me.” said Haku to Binka,
standing back to back. “Yahhh!” yelled one of the copies as it hit Binka on the arm. “Ow…” moaned Binka. “Watch out”
said Haku. “Hiyahhh!” yelled another one as it ran past Haku to the other side of the ring. “Damn…” said Haku under his
breath as his right eye became black from a punch. “Haaaa!” yelled another copy as it slid under Binka, tripping her. “Ahhh!”
yelled Binka as she fell on her behind to the hard floor. “Get up, hurry!” said Haku to Binka as another copy swished by and
kicked Haku in the shin. “Ow…” said Haku, falling to his knees to grasp his hurt shin.
“Dang… Haku and Binka are in trouble too. I can’t be in two places at once. What should I do…”said Kosei to himself. All
of a sudden, the copies disappeared. “Wha… the copies are gone!” said Binka in amazement. “There’s the real demon!”
yelled Haku, sword at the ready. “Wait, I don’t think she with attack” said Binka, putting her hand in front of Haku.
“Hatsuniku, what the heck do you think your doing!” yelled Akuya. “I can’t fight… I feel this pain in my chest that won’t go
away.” said Hatsuniku, on her knees, hands over her chest. Suddenly, Hatsuniku’s head band ripped and reveled a symbol on
her forehead. It was lite up with a bright orange glow. Kosei stared at her when his head band ripped as well, replaced with
a orange light, so bright it blinded everyone in the room for a couple seconds when it mixed with the light of Hatsuniku’s
light. “What the heck!” yelled Akuya, holding his hands in front of his face. “I can’t see.” said Kaon, blocking the light with
her arm. “The light is so bright.” said Haku, blocking the light. The light vanished, showing Hatsuniku and Kosei with
identical tatoo’s on their foreheads. “Are they…” asked Onkatsu, eyes wide. Kosei walked over to Hatsuniku and put his
hands on both sides of her helmet and started to pull it off. “I am not letting you know her identity!” yelled Akuya as he ran
at Kosei with his red eyes a fire. Kosei didn’t do anything. Akuya was about to hit him with his fist when Akuya’s hands
caught on fire before they could touch Kosei. “What!” yelled Akuya as he shook his hands to try and douse the flame. Then
Kosei closed his eyes and stopped pulling on Hatsuniku’s helmet at which a huge fire ball came flying from his hand that held
Akuya in place. He then returned to Hatsuniku. Hatsuniku looked to be in a trance. Kosei kneeled down onto his knees and
kissed her forehead, making Hatsuniku’s eyes gain shine. She fell out of the trance and looked at Kosei. He proceeded to
take her helmet off again.
