"Run after them," I snapped at Scarlet while running and making sure I mixed well with the crowd.

"I'm doing that, Boss, I'm really doing that," he protested while panting heavily and running against the crowd.

Damn it. Just when I thought we have to lie low from missions, I accidentally got myself tangled with these two insane girls creating chaos in the Metro's market. And in broad daylight, too. Leche.

I knew I should have ignored those girls. They were probably street children causing trouble, but I just couldn't leave them alone. They threw firecrackers around the market, laughing and running as store owners chased them with brooms. Their deranged auras caught my attention as Scarlet and I were searching for Nucleus' possible spies in the market.

It was a wonder that nobody could catch those two girls. They seemed to be both in their early teens or perhaps they weren't teens yet.

I exhaled and stopped running. I closed my eyes and tried to sense the direction of their auras. Their auras were unusually strong. It was like Scarlet's when he was still in his teens.

 Finally, I sensed them.

"To the left, Scarlet. Run until you sense a deranged flow of aura," I whispered.

"A deranged... what? Excuse me, Boss?" he asked, confused.

"Just run," I snapped, and we both ran.

The girl yelped when Scarlet and I reached their hiding place near one of the dark alleys of the Metro's market. They were about to run again when Scarlet blocked their way by throwing firecrackers. The girls yelped again and looked at me.

I crossed my arms and nudged Scarlet. "Make sure this alley is blocked from the people's eyes."

He nodded and fled. The girls continued eyeing me in panic.

"Ooh, twins," I said, smirking. "Twin trouble."

They both gulped and took a step back.

"I won't hurt you, but you have to tell me why you're throwing firecrackers around," I said. I got a hint that they could understand English because they both blinked and looked at each other.

"Siya 'yun?" the girl with long hair asked her twin with short hair.

"Siguro?" the girl with short hair answered, obviously not sure of her answer.

I raised a kilay. "So...? Would you tell me your reason for creating such disturbance around the market or would you like me to turn you over to the authorities?"

"Huwag! Huwag po!" they both shouted in unison. Both of them fell on their knees.

"I'm waiting," I said impatiently.

"I'm Jupiter!" the girl with long hair said hurriedly.

"Ako si Saturn!" the girl with short hair added.

"Jupiter? Saturn? Excuse me? What's with your names?" I asked, a little confused.

They shrugged their little shoulders. "Iyon po ang nakalagay sa lampin eh," Jupiter answered.

Saturn nodded and looked at me with her almond-shaped eyes. That was when I realized they were... Japanese. "Where are you from?" I asked immediately.
