HxH: Fraternal Twins

Chapter 5: Preparation

After Soren's return, who had landed back on Ruby's shoulder, he gave Ruby the directions to the Heaven's Arena. It took nearly ten minutes to find the tall building, which shouldn't have taken that long since the building was a skyscraper...

Ruby nodded and thanked her feathered friend for taking his time to look for it. Though the twins could have flown in the sky and find it that way instead, they wanted to trySoren out and see what he could do. Knowing full well where the building's at, both Rui and Ruby made their way over. The bug twin talked up a storm about nature and insects but after a while, Ruby's nerves shot up and told her twin to be quiet while trying hard to hold back her risen tone.

After half an hour of walking to the Arena, they had finally come across it, making both the twins gawk in amazement at how tall the place was up close. Their eyes were wide and Rui's mouth was open slightly; the bird-woman turned to her twin and had a piercing look in her eyes.

"If we're going to fight..." she trailed off then paused, before continuing. "We'll have to put on disguises... Though nothing would really mask us, considering we have wings...but I'm sure we can figure something out," Ruby stated with a sigh escaping her red lips. She didn't want any of the SGSF people finding out their location or capturing them right on the spot; since arenas are naturally public on T.V and in person.

"I can move my wings down against my lower back, but I don't know how you could hide your wings... They're...so big~." Rui said with concern, having a slightly calmer voice and confused bug eyes. She tilted her head a bit in thought, making her antennas softly brush to the side with it.

"Hmm... Perhaps, I can put a cloak on... A large one. One that covers my entire body but in order to fight, I'd have to have it open in the front... More importantly, a hood over my head to hide my face so people can't see who I am..." Ruby narrowed her gaze as she thought with her fingers lightly touching her chin.

"That's true, maybe I should do the same Ruby-chan.~" Rui replied with a soft voice, her eyes barely squinted and her face held kindness in it.

"Yeah... It'd be best..." Ruby agreed with a stern face, then began walking towards the front doors of the Heavens Arena. "Let's go..."Her demanding voice sounded deeper than normal, almost strong even.

"Oh-kaaaay!-" Rui happily exclaimed with her eyes shut and a closed, wide smile. Soon, she ran up behind her sister hastily and giggled, clearly excited to play around.

Half an hour later they were wearing cloaks, which hid most of their features. Rui had on a real dark green cloak with a white solid mask that had red markings around the stern, narrowed eye sockets. Through the sockets you could see pink glossing every now and then, from the light inside the building; black gloves, in addition, were cut near the wrists so her mantis claws could extend out. Despite the cloak get-up, she still wore her usual attire underneath.

Ruby had a long white cloak on with golden yellow rope in the front, that tied it together just above her bust; a bulge on her back was from her wings that she tightly folded up. She, too, had her usual clothing on and had the hood from the cloak completely cover her face. A thick shadow hid her features so there was no real reason to wear a mask.
