"Desera were going to be late!"
"Oh shut up I'm never late, Karen, you're just early." I mumble to my twin sister as I head down the stairs where she's waiting for me.
"Did you eat?"
"Yes I ate. God you're worse than Mother." My sister and I go through this everyday; bickering when she wants to be the first one to school and me who wants to show up when the normal people do, but today was our first day to the school so of course Miss. Everything_Is_Perfect has to be as early as possible.
"More than a banana or piece of toast?" She asks raising an eyebrow at me.
"Just, let's go." I grab Karen's arm and begin dragging her out the door with me. I grab my usual spot as driver with my sister in passenger.
"Come on Desera let's get our class schedule! Oh, I hope we have our cases together! Wouldn't that be so much fun?" I always hated how hyper she was, it clashed with my personality and it just became annoying very quickly. With the few seconds that Karen gave me to reply I gave her the answer she wanted with a sight as she dragged me into the ambition office for us o pick up our schedule.
"Yah, fun."
"I take it you're the Abendroth twins?" The lady sitting behind the desk asked with a chuckle.
"That's us," my sister declares with pride."
"Odd a German last name and English first names, what brings you to Japan?" the woman asks as she looks at our schedule.
"Our mom believed in uniting the different clotures and that by doing so you can bring harmony to those around you." Karen explains while I just take my schedule and look over it.
Room" 104
Teacher: Mr. Daichi
"What do you have Sis?" Karen leans over my shoulder to look at my schedule.
"Mr. Daichi."
"Really me too! This is going to be so much fun, I just know it!" Karen glomps and nearly takes both of us down.
"Well looks like you to will be some trouble. If Yusuke and Kurabawa weren't enough already and now there's that new kid Hiei, nothing but trouble seems to roll into this school now a days. Well let's go you two, I have things I need to do with my time that doesn't involve a bunch of punk noise kids." I look at the man with buck teeth and weird looking face, what was his problem?
"Nice to meet you to, Jack ass." I snap at him and turn my back to walk off, I'd rather find my way around here than ever be given one my own than by this guy.
"I'm so sorry Mr. Akashi, my sister didn't mean that. Right Deser, you didn't really mean that?" My sister was panicking; I could tell by the tone of her voice that she didn't want this again. I was the cause for our last explosion and all the ones before that; I had a problem with authority and being told what to do, I preferred to do whatever I wanted and to ignore the order.
"No sis I did mean that."
"What, but… please don't do this we just got here."
"Yah kid, you should listen to your sister and apologies."
"You know what, you're right. Sis I'm sorry and Mr. Akashi I'm sorry you're an ugly ass that can't get any girl to sleep with you; even a hoe. I'm also sorry that you still have to live with your mother because you're so pathetic that not even your mother loves you. So, I'm sorry." I turn my back on the three stunned people and walked off already in a foul mood and the day just began.
"Haha, that was hilarious. I can't believe you just told him off like that. Hey, wait up!" A could hear the footsteps of the person running up to me before he caught up with me. "I'm Yusuke, what's your name."
"Not interested." I walk past his out stretched hand, ignoring his presence.
"I know who you are." His voice hinted at more than what he was saying and I didn't like the edge in his voice.
"What would you know of anything?" I turned around and narrowed my gaze on him. It seemed to have a bit of an effect on him, but not as much as on normal people.
"You're one of us."
"And just who are these us?"
"Meet me after school, in the front." I study him a bit closer trying to decide if I should trust him or not. He wasn't quiet human I could pick that much up by his presence, but then the Jack Ass did say he was trouble. I was considered trouble myself so maybe trouble and trouble could lead to entertainment and he did seem part human so that would be all the more entertaining.
The boy that stood in front of me had greased back black hair, dressed in green button down shirt and green pants. There wasn't much to say about him, but there was this type of air to him that made me want to fight him, but I don't know why because the only thing he's done to me is bug me while I'm in a foul mode.
"I'll think about it," I tell him then walk off to go to the top of the roof where I spend my free time tell it's time for class. I trot into class just as the bell rings and the teacher is standing in front the class with my sister; the dreaded is here.
"Nice of you to join us."
"Hi Mr. Daichi, it's nice to finally meet you." I say in a polite tone cause if I don't I know that it would start a bad relationship between us if I don't.
"Well now that they are both finally here, why don't you two introduce yourselves?"
"Hi everyone, I'm Karen and my sister here is Desera. Say hi sis."
"Hi." Unlike my sister, who was happy and preppy as usual I was bored and didn't care; the class took instant notice.
"Are you two, like, twins because she is nothing like you?" One of the girls in the back asked.
"Yes, we are." My sister answers with a smile as I just look blankly at the crowd when one of the students catches my eye.
This boy had black hair and a white streak. He wore the typical blue male school uniform, but added a white scarf to it. I couldn't figure out why he would add the scarf considering it didn't go at all, but it made me wonder just that much more about him. He air around him as well had a sense of mystery and darkness.
His past must have been tough, I think to myself.
"If you're twins, why is your hair greenish and hers is blue light blue?" The same cocky girl asked and my patients were growing really low at this point.
"Not just that, but you're so nice while she's…" Some snotty girl trailed off as I turned my piercing glare on her.
"While I'm what?" I snap not caring if I wouldn't make any friends or be put on my new teachers watch list. The girl didn't reply. I narrowed my glare and challenged her; "I dare you to finish that sentence." Still, nothing. "Come on if you have something to say, say it," while my voice sounded opening and encouraging my smile said otherwise.
"You're a rude, judgmental bitch!" It was the first girl that spoke that had the courage to say the words. I turn towards her with a smile and walked over to her crossing one foot over the other.
"I must complement you," I watched my pry gulp with fear and gulped. I wasn't even looking at her yet; my head was hanging low as I nodded my head. "You are the first one out of," I paused to add to her tension, "fifteen schools this last six months to speak up to me. I must condom you though, you are a; baka, dumm, stupide, estúpido, Dom, stupid, retarded." I look up at her as I list off the word tilting my head from side to side as I act like I have to think about the right way to say this, but I didn't I knew all the languages by heart. "It doesn't matter how I say it, what language I use you're not very bright. At least the last one to say something like that was smart enough to not say it to my face. But you," I smile the same smile I give a person before I kill them."
"Desera stop!" My sister voice causes me to stop in my path and turn to look at her. "Not here, not today please. We just got here." The look on her face was the look of a hurt animal and her voice was heart breaking, if it was any other person it wouldn't work but it was her.
"All right, not today, but soon." My sister nodded her head with a slight smile. The two of us then went to the back of the room and sat down. It took the teacher a while to recover from my episode but he soon did and class cared on as usual.
I was bored, as expected, but this school thing wasn't meant for me it was meant for Karen. If I had it my way we would be anywhere but here. I would be taking over the Makai Realm, taking it over and ruling it my way, but no I was stuck in this boring class learning about the inferior race that had nothing to do with us because the bakas of the spirit world keep the truth from the humans.
Bring. Bring.
"Alright class, let's take a break for lunch." I stood up and began to head out of the class with my sister. "Not you Desera." I stop with a sigh and wait for everyone to leave.
"I know how this goes. Desera your behavior was uncalled for and out of line," I mimic a male's voice and then switch to a girlie voice. "I know Mr. Teacher I was completely out of line. Please forgive me, I promise I won't do it again. Alright I'll give you another chance since this is your first time. Oh, thank you Mr. Teacher I promise you won't regret this choice." I go back to my normal voice and my face falls back to its distant hard look. "When in reality I just played you and you know it was a lie and still let me off with a warning. So to save us both the trouble; I admit I did something I wasn't supposed to and you skip the lecture and just tell me whatever my punishment is if you're giving me one."
"I won't punish you this time because I personally hate Aimi myself and as you said this is your first time pulling something like this."
"Hm, love and beauty. She lives up to her name if you consider loving yourself love and if being good looking on the outside beauty." Mr. Daichi chuckled at my comment.
"Go get your sister and enjoy your lunch Desera."
"Ok, see you after class." I walk out of the class room and see my sister waiting for me with a worry filled face.
"How bad was the damage control?" She asked as I walked past her out towards the quad. It was like this every time, but I didn't want to talk I wanted a tree to sit in and stare down at the others; watching and examining them then going off into another world of my own. I couldn't though; I had to answer her questions and had to deal with the rumors already following-apparently Aimi was the hot shot of this school.
"Who do you think you are, threatening Aimi?" A muscular boy asked, stopping me in my path. I look up at the boy with a glare; I could see him flinch for only a second before putting his tough guy act back up.
"Move," there was no room for question in my icy cold voice.
"Answer my question first or would you rather I beat it out of you?" I smirk at his question and this seems to catch him off guard.
"I can see how this plays out already. The big bad jock tried to hit the new girl at this school and I'm forced to defend myself. You end up in the hospital and I walk away free because I honestly dough this is your first time." The boy looks at me a bit shocked but I can see that I just hurt his pride, so he throws the first punch.
I easily dodge the punch with my hand by my side.
"You'll have to do better than that if you ever want to land a blow." He quickly turns around and out of rage throws punch after punch as I dodge all of them without missing a beat. I yawn suddenly as I grow bored. "Well this wasn't any fun," I tell him before I turn my hips and land a blow.
Crack! The sound of his jaw shattering under my fist filled my ears; I couldn't help but smirk at that delouse sound. As I watched the boy's body crumple to the ground in pain I found myself disappointed; I didn't get any blood or even the slightest challenge.
"Oh my god, the new girl just took out Yuuta with one punch!"
"How is that even possible?"
"I think his jaw might be shattered."
"Karen , Why don't we get going?" I turned to my sister than began to walk off and while I asked her a question I implied it as a statement.
"The superiority and big was no fun at all." I sigh and continue walking off from the seen as to teachers run by us, one was Jack Ass from earlier and the other one was a teacher I didn't recognize.
"Yusuke Urameshi you're in big trouble this time!" The buck teeth jack ass screamed as he ran by us.
"Do you really think it's fair to this Yusuke person get in trouble because of us?" My sister whispered to make sure no one heard us.
"Oh I'm sure someone will tell Jack Ass that I did it. In the mean time since I don't feel like dealing with any more humans, why don't we head up to the roof?"
"Ok," my sister was always quick to agree with anything I suggested. My sister solely trusted me and I her, in the world we grew up there was no other way of life but that. My sister and I had been hurt and betrayed more times than a calculator can calculate. We depended on each other, she was my yang and I was her yin- two halves of a whole.
When we got to the top of the stairs I could hear to people talking.
"-she in my class."
"Have you tried talking to her?" I didn't recognize the first voice but I knew that second one- Yusuke.
"Let's go, I think Yusuke is giving someone love advise," I whisper to my sister.
"Come out." I turned my head to see the boy from earlier today and the face the first voice belonged to.
"We were just leaving so you can continue your little love fest." I turned my back and guided my sister away from the roof.
"Desera wait!" It was Yusuke's voice that called out to me and caused me to stop and turn around to see what he wanted.
With a raised eyebrow I asked; "What?"
"Since you're here now why don't I just tell you what I was going to after school?"
"Not interested." I turned and began to walk off again.
"Desera Abendroth you're in big trouble!"
"And here comes Jack Ass to ruin my lunch," I sigh as I sit down on the stairs.
"I thought you said we would at least make it through lunch without trouble Desera."
"I know what I said, but that guy started it and it's not like it was fun. He was a complete ass and didn't give me the slightest challenge." I told her as the footsteps that were running up the stairs slowed.
"Well, well what do you know? Yusuke and Hiei, both, hanging out with the new trouble maker Desera. Well what do you have to say for yourself Desera." It didn't even take a second for me to slip into the innocent little girl attacked by the big bad bully.
"I was just minding my own business," I pleaded with the eyes of a hurt little puppy and it seemed as if I was on the verge of tears because of the harsh voice they were using on me and I had my voice at the perfect balance of hurt and normality. "All I did was walk out of my classroom and he blocked my path, he was threatening to beat me up because of some girl Aimi. I don't even know who Aimi is. I asked him to please move and that I knew he didn't want to get us in trouble but he didn't listen to me. He seemed mad for some reason but I didn't understand why." I let my eyes water and my voice become even more uneasy as I took a shaky breath. "I don't know who he is, but he tried to hit me, I dodged the blows and tried not to hurt him but… but he just wouldn't stop! I had to hit him, to protect myself. Please believe me?" The teachers looked like they themselves were on the verge of tears and with a quick glance at each other they busted into tears and hugged me- squeezing the air out of my lungs.
"It's ok! You're not in trouble and Yuuta won't bother you any longer!" I hugged them back and waited for them to let go of me before I wiped the fake tears away from eyes. Looking up at them with a small smile I said;
"Thank you." The two teachers nodded their heads and walked away. I waited for their footsteps to disappear before turning to my sister.
"Ready to ditch class? We can claim you were helping me become steady because I was so shaken up by the fight." I cloud see the look of shock on Yusuke's face and the hidden disbelief on Hiei's, the only one that wasn't shocked by this was my sister.
"You know we can't do that."
"We can too, remember at school eighty-two when we ditched class?"
"No I mean we can't because I want to go to class."
"Then go on without me, I'll be up here missing out all your fun."
"Why must you do all the things you're not supposed to?" My sister asks seeming a bit put out.
"Sis when have I ever done what I was supposed to?
"Until-"
"Don't you dare say it Karen." My voice went from careless to full of strength and authority, this caught my sister off guard a bit because I never use this voice on her but she's heard it a million times so it didn't take long for her to get over it.
"But-"
"Not another word about that Karen Abendroth." My sister nodded her head and began to head down to class as the bell rung. With a sigh I flop down on the top of the roof that covers the stair.
"So how bad did you mess up Yuuta?" Yusuke asks as he hops up next to me.
"Leave me alone."
"Oh come on I just asked a question."
"And I just told you to leave me alone. I don't like half breads."
"You're worse than Hiei." I open my eyes and turn my head towards the demon that's standing on the lower roof looking up at us.
"Hn," I say tuning my head back to the sun with my eyes closed. My problem with Hiei wasn't that I didn't like him or that I could care less I just saw no point in getting to know any of them.
"I was so scared to say anything that might get that knew girl in trouble," two humans walked on to the roof, just barely missing Hiei as he jumped up to the higher roof with Yusuke and me.
"I know what if we did say something and we got caught?"
"She would kill us for sure."
"Did you see that smirk when she shattered Yuuta's jaw?"
"Don't remind me, that thing gave me shivers."
"Didn't she seem somewhat disappointed afterwards?"
"Yah but there was like a blood lust in her eyes. I think she honestly wanted to kill him."
"I think we should be more careful around her."
"Yah it might be us next time." I couldn't help but smirk at what they were saying.
"Smart people fear those that can kill them with a mere flip of a wrist." I spoke quietly to myself but I could sense Yusuke stifle were he stood next to me.
"How long have you lived in this world?" Yusuke asked.
"Eight dreaded years now."
"Then why did you stay?" Hiei asked.
"What does it matter to you?" I snapped.
"Hn," Hiei said turning his head away from me. None of us spoke after that, we all just relaxed a laid down to enjoy the heat tell the final bell rung.
"Why does it not surprise me that you're up here Yusuke? Oh, I'm sorry I didn't mean to interrupt anything." I turned and looked at the girl who was speaking. She had short brown hair and seemed too much like the goody good to be hanging out with Yusuke.
I hoped down and looked at her, trying to figure out why she was hanging around with someone like him.
"I don't mean to insult you, but I'm sure you're a nice girl and I don't want to see anyone end up with Yusuke." While her voice was nice I could hear her possessiveness in her voice; he was hers.
"I'm not interested it, so don't worry I wasn't doing anything with your guy." I walked past her indifferent and went to find my sister.
"Haha, that's so true." I could tell my sister was having fun by the sound of her voice so not to scare away any of her new friends I waited in front of the school.
"Hey." My sister walked up towards me with a smile, but I just turned and began to walk off to where I parked the car.
"How was your day?" I asked not really caring because I would be told one way or another.
"Oh it was so amazing! I met this girl named-" When she stopped mid sentence I turned to look at what had stopped her. A purple portal was opened right in front of us. I looked around to see if anyone has noticed.
"Let's go," I tell her as I stepped through, knowing she'll follow.
I landed on my feet as I got to the other side of the portal while my sister landed on her butt.
"That hurt." She says as she rubs her butt. "Why must you be the graceful one, your Yin I thought Yang would be graceful."
"Shh," I hush her as I look to see the three people I met over the course of the day; Yusuke, Hiei, and the girl but there were now four more people with them.
"What do you want?" I demand stepping forward and summoning my sword that appears on my back.
"Put the sword away Desera, please" he adds when I glare at him.
"Give me one good reason I shouldn't kill all of you and it better be good because I haven't gone hunting in over a month now."
"Because," I narrow my gaze on him, "because we're just offering a position on the Urameshi team."
"I decline."
"If my sister isn't joining, then neither am I."
"I thought you two would say that. Then if you won't join on your own free will how about you join because if you don't I'm authorized to kill both of you. Desera for killing humans, planning on taking over both this world and Makai Realm-"
"Don't forget the pathetic human world either," I add on not helping my case at all.
"Yes and Karen-"
"She hasn't done anything in this world. All the crimes committed were committed by me and me alone. If anyone should be put to death it is I."
"Very well," The teenager with a pacifier in his mouth and Jr written on his forehead nodded his head. Both Hiei and Yusuke walk forward and bind my hands behind my back.
"Desera just join the team! They're giving you an option!" I turned my head towards her and smile. She's so caring to me when no one was.
"Even if I say yes what's the likely hood that they would spare me with what I just admitted to?" I ask her as they lead me away from the room.
"You're really going to leave her in this world with no protection?" Hiei asked as I was lead down the hall.
"She's strong, she just needs to not hesitate and I just saved her life. If I didn't tell Jr that I committed all the crimes she would be killed with me, though it was a lie. Fortunately he can't punish for things done the Makai Realm or we would both be executed no matter what I say." As they lead me to the execution room I can't help but smile. I always knew that I would died protecting my sister, I always thought I would died on the battle field by the hands of someone more powerful.
As I'm forced to kneel down I kneel without resistance. I place my head on the cold stone and wait for my death while the speak is given.
"Today I, Taiki, document the death of Desera Abendroth the Darkness Twin of the Light Twin Karen Abendroth. Desera Abendroth is accused and admitted to treason of all three realms, killing humans, taking part of selling Black Market merchandise, attempting to kill the Kings of the Makai Realm…"The speech went on listing my deeds of wrongs, but I tuned it out tell it got to the part of my death. "Desera Abendroth do you have any last words?"
"Yes, Hiei I don't know you very well and you have no reason to do what I ask, but please tell my sister to be strong and that I love her?"
"Yes." I nodded my head and let a single tear shed from my eyes.
I love you Karen. That was my last thought before I closed my eyes and waited for my death.
