Geez... I was laughing when I wrote this, this was like when I was small... I'd serve eggs raw, and the only thing I could make properly was Milk Tea XD... Not even coffee, which is my darling love today. I'd grind the coffee beans then just put it in a cup and mix it with water XD.

Chapter 25 (Kiri's POV)
I wince every time I hear something crash and break downstairs, Why, WHY? WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME? I think slowly, refusing to wake up and go downstairs, like how I probably should. I hear a couple more crashes then smell smoke. I must have done something REALLY bad in my past life to deserve this... I close my eyes and plead to God that it'd be a dream, then I hear silence and I open my eyes again. "Yes, it was a dream!" I proclaim weakly, knowing it wasn't true, but I start to walk downstairs holding onto the feeble lie.
As soon as I get down the stairs I know something is wrong with this picture. Black smoke emitting from the kitchen, water mixed with who knows what is on the wooden ground. Well... at least we have a fire-proof house and wooden floors... I think gritting my teeth for the worst as I enter the kitchen. The water is still running at the sink and the water already rose to a little bit above ankle level. I step in and run into something that is sticky and breaks underneath, Eggshells... and yolk... I think annoyedly.
I start processing the situation though I don't know where to start cleaning up... After Shiku. I let out a sigh, this was getting to be a long morning. "Okay... so the smoke is coming from the oven... the KFC has been burned to a crisp..." I nod at the small piece of ashes in the garbage can and the face of Mr. Sanders, poor old Harland Sanders... "The coffee is mixed with the water... which is still flowing from the tap I should add..." I closed the tap, thinking I've seen the worse I walk in another step, then see a small figure laying on the ground, hugging to a pillow tightly.
Sighing, I pick her up bridal style and then put her on the sofa nearby to sleep instead of the soaking floor. Just like Shiku, start screaming at 3:00 in the morning, fail at making breakfast, burn the KFC, break all the eggs, make a swimming pool out of the house, then lay on the ground sleeping, in the eye of the storm I see too. The right corner of my mouth twitches at the last part, I have an idea who she learned it from.
I'm sure this incident has occured once or twice before... Maybe there's an easier way to clean? I walk back to where Shiku is sleeping, "Shiku, Shiku..."
"I'm sleeping don't bother me," she tells me without even moving an inch, she twitches then swipes at me with her right hand.
"Shiku, I'm cleaning up after you... You better tell me how or else when you wake up you're cleaning up all the water and smoke and everything."
Her eyes snap open at that, "Cabinet, 4th to the left from the coffee cabinet, water evaporation spell, open the windows though, something might explode if you mess it up. Go get a bottle of perfume from my perfume drawer upstairs to get rid of the smell, get a couple actually, then fill out the sheet where you sign off which ones you took, it's on the clipboard on my Doraemon seat..." she stops sitting up more straight, then kisses me on the cheek. "Thanks darling..." then she curls up around her pillow and goes back to sleep.
I don't think she processed what she just did. But... ehh, what do you expect from little sisters?
First, I walk to the coffee cabinet and take 4 steps to the left, take out a bottle full of water with a spell tag on it, I whisper the spell under my breath then stop at the last word, "Sulteki?" The bottle of water exploded, as the glass shards pierced into my hand, I wince. I clean the blood off first then bandage my hand flimsily, "Wait, that says... Suiteki... not Sulteki." I redid the spell, then gave a sigh of relief as all the water disappeared, I was sure I was going to have my guts spilling over everywhere if I messed up again.
The smoke was pretty much gone, which was a good thing. Actually, the first good thing in a day, I think to myself bitterly. Although, the smell was still pretty irritating, and I was NOT in the mood to be irritated. To be woken up at 3:00 in the morning from my righteous state of peacefulness that I could only obtain from sleep around here. I walk into Shiku's room then immediately go to her dresser, not paticularly in the mood to be chased out by wolves for staying too long. 3 drawers on THAT dresser, and Shiku only has... I don't know, maybe 50? I don't know what she puts in all of them.
I open the top drawer first, I feel my face heat up at what's inside, "Uhh..." I sweat a bit before having enough sense to close it. "Panties?" I think and say aloud at the same time. Unlucky day for me, I'm guessing. I'm thinking the bottom drawer now, I don't trust top drawers anymore, I open the bottom one. "Yes! Perfume! Never been more happy to see perfume in drawers instead of something else," I shake away the thoughts I got after saying "something else".
I take out a random bottle, "Love Spell?" sounded too cheesy. Next one, "Dragon Fire..." I think I've had enough playing with fire for today. "Black Butterfly...?" seems kind of girly, smelled okay, and pretty unique. Good enough. I close the drawer sign off Black Butterfly, which I have to say has been taken out often. I look at the middle drawer then stop, I want to open it, just to see what's inside, but I know it's probably not the best idea. But... apparently most people like going against their better judgement, most people... meaning me.
I opened it stared then immediately closed it, I cursed wondering why I didn't go with my better judgement. Then sprinted out of the room. What was inside? ...You don't even want to know, and even if you did, I wouldn't tell you.

Chapter 26 (Shiku’s POV)
Yawn. I wake up and I blink, thinking the house smelled familiar. I blink immediately realizing what it is; I sprint around the house in attempt to find Kiri then finally find him in his room, staring up at the ceiling. “Kiri, Kiri, Kiri!” I chant desperately.
He barely tilts his head to look at me, “Mmm hmm?”
I keep calm, trying to slowly bring out the fact that he used my personalized perfume to get the smell out of the house. The perfume itself, was pretty expensive in itself. $105,493 for ONE bottle. “Kiri… you know that bottle of perfume you used?”
“Mmm hmm?”
“Do you know how much it cost?”
“Mmm hmm…” “AND YOU STILL USED IT?”
“Mmm hmm…”
I blink for a second finally realizing he wasn’t paying attention, I grabbed him with both hands by the collar and shook back and forth. “KIRI Usachi, PAY ATTENTION TO ME.”
“I don’t want to be an Usachi.”
I stop, shocked for a second, but I understand. Unlike me, Kiri never wanted to be a Usachi, Kiri never wanted to be a Fallen. Unlike me, Kiri detested Fallens. “Never mind…” I glance at the clock, 7:00 pm, “I’ll go make dinner…”
I start walking out the door, then I’m stopped mid-way, “I’m not hungry,” Kiri's voice rang out.
“Oh,” I try to keep my disappointment from showing. “I’ll put the leftovers in the fridge, if you’re hungry later eat it.”
Silence.
I take the hint then walk out the door.
Chapter 27 (Kiri’s POV)
I probably should’ve caught my mistake before the words left my mouth. Of all things, why would I say, “I don’t want to be an Usachi,” to Shiku? Doesn’t matter, I won’t be a Usachi or a Fallen soon, but… that’d break all my promises to Shiku wouldn’t it? I take out the Chain of Promise that is inside my pillowcase. There’s a clan I’m thinking of getting into… Kyouki Clan, a clan of Soul Snatchers making my ties with my clan and my race gone.
The floor boards creak, and I tilt my head from the ceiling, through the crack at the doorway I can see Shiku staring at me intently, probably reading my mind, secret’s out I guess…
“No.”
I blink realizing Shiku said something, “What do you mean ‘no’? No what? It isn’t even your decision to make.”
She shifts uncomfortably as she weighs her options, “Kiri, Kyouki clan is an enemy clan, they probably won’t even let you in, just because you had…” the word "had" was hurting her, “ties with our clan.”
“I know, but if it were so, you wouldn’t be trying to convince me about this, you’d just let Kyouki clan get rid of me on their own.”
“Kiri…” she says the name affectionately, “What if I told you… There’s a way to get rid of your Fallen blood, and it’d sever all bonds you have with Fallens.” She was shaking when she said this, I’m pretty sure this was getting to be a last resort. I was much more attentive now, I had a hurry-up-and-say-it plastered all over my face.
She opened her mouth to say something and then she closed it, her voice wobbled as she spoke, "The art was performed only once that I know of, and... I don't remember how it's done anymore... You'd have to get the Fallen book of Forbidden Arts..." she stopped, and I could tell there was something left unsaid.
"What's the catch?"
"It's missing, the book. It's missing." "What?"
"It's missing, and it has been missing for the last 18 years."
I know what it means, it happened in her last life. Her last life she wasn't a Death Goddess yet, she wasn't an Usachi yet, she had developed powers, but an accident happened, she died at age 17 last time, and had gotten reborn a year later. I heard some of this from Asuka and the rest of the family, but no one brought it up again after a menacing glare from Shiku. Stripping me of my resources to find out what the accident was.
Shiku was staring at me intently for an answer, "I'll find it for you sometime maybe..." she tried to keep her voice level and still, but it was trembling anyway, "I think I'll go watch TV or something instead." She went out and walked across the hallway to her own room, locking it in the process. Which was fine with me of course, this was the most interesting and promising piece of information Shiku had given me since she told me there was free food at Joy Yee when they were moving the store.
I'm sure I can find some resources to find out what happened, I booted up my laptop as I did a quick search of Shiku Usachi on the internet looking for possible people. There was a long list of Usachis then something I didn't expect, I had always thought Shiku was with out a family when she was adopted, and even if she wasn't her siblings might be in the Usachi family. At the bottom of the list there was a single promising name.
Mikira Yau.
Chapter 28
Kiri walked into White Dragon, the only listed possible place to find Mikira in her whole entire profile. The guy at the front counter greeted him, "ID or pass please?" The guy had silver hair with two different colored eyes, one silver and one icy blue.
"Uhh... Actually I'm looking for someone with the name of Mikira Yau," Kiri replied, he scowled at the smile plastered on the guy's face, it was a plastic smile so fake, so much like his own mock smile.
"Mikira-sama? Although you might want to call her as Miss Barowner or just call her White Dragon itself. Refrain from using names other than street names, and what would you like me to call you as?"
"Kiri, Kiri Usachi."
"You can call me Kaze."
Kaze walked up to the platform to a girl looking like an exact photocopy of Shiku except with blue highlights instead of brown, he whispered something in her ear then they looked at Kiri's direction. Mikira waltzed up to Kiri, putting on her white clearish jacket around her and then tied her hair up into a messy bun, showing the single cartilage piercing on her left ear. She smiled, "What may I do for you, darling?"
"You know that incident a few years ago? The one that Shiku died in, that is if you knew her then..." Kiri asked.
"Was there, died there at age 19 like how I'm 19 now..." Mikira explained to him.
"Wait, aren't you and Shiku twins though? How can you be 19 when she's..."
"Yeah we are, but Shiku stopped aging at age 17 she never grows older, and I never grow older than age 19... but in exchange, no matter whenever we are resurrected, we'll still be twins, and more over we'll still be the same. But... technically, we're still the same age... something like that, it's complicated."
Fallen spell... Kiri thought to himself, "Well... I'm just curious to know what happened then..."
Mikira sent Kaze a warning glance as he walked out the room, "Well..."
Chapter 29 (Mikira's POV) I glanced off into the distance, I just happened to walk past... my bad luck I guess...All the Fallen Goddesses and Gods were gathered there. What was going on? I looked closer, there was a girl who looked exactly like me, the only thing different was our clothes. She seemed possessed... Somehow. There was a boy there too... Black hair... ice blue eyes... Everything was happening so fast...
A Goddess stepped forward, my guess, Head Goddess... "Reiu, do you know what you did? You attempted the forbidden art... the art of sacrifice... For what? Power? Blood lust? What was it?"
Reiu smiled, his features utterly twisted, "Shiku come here..."
The girl, Shiku... I'm guessing stood with out budging... then his voice sounded again, "Shiku come here," this time it was more firm. A single word glowed silver on Shiku's neck, 'possession'. The boy's name, Reiu was glowing on her right cheek as well. Her eyes lost it's life as she walked toward him. "Well... let's see what Shiku has to say to that."
The girl unsheathed her katana as it glowed with full flourish, "Kyuuen."
The sounds of metal echoed through out the skies, I closed my eyes as blood splattered everywhere, staining everywhere with red, making the stream where the girl fell run red. Her blade fell out of her hand as she unclasped it, falling down. "Reiu-sama... please..." the girl choked out, pleading and crying at the same time. At the time, even though she looked almost as old as me, she seemed only a small child, wilted and waning.
I couldn't stop myself, it was as though my feet had a mind of it's own. It sprinted and knelt next to the girl, and my hands next they started to heal her.
The boy smirked, his features twisting more and more, "Heh... got a deathwish as well? I'm going to die anyway... I'm bringing you all to Hell with me..." he laughed at that, and before I could react, everything burst into flames, a scream of agony echoed through out the nations, as me and Shiku cried out at the same time, entwining our fates together... perhaps for eternity.
I stopped as I drew my memory to an end then glanced up at Kiri, "Understand?"
