Call Me Lynx (Wanderer x OC)

Arc 1: Chapter 6

~You're the healers, how am I supposed to know~

She finally reached her destination, Watatsumi Island. She climbed to a nearby village in search of the famous traveler, opening up her map to see where they are. Apparently only a few feet ahead, and, sure enough, she saw them walking close by when she looked up. "Lumine!" she called, jumping down from her spot on a nearby fence.

"Lynx?! What are you doing here?" the traveler's eyes widened as she waved over at the kitsune. "Are your paper's done?"

"Yes! Thoma told me I'd find you here." the girl smiled brightly at her companion, walking closer to them. "Also, please, now that you know my real name call me Keahi."

"Okay, you got it." Paimon chirped in, a bright smile gracing her face. "Do you want to come with us? The high priestess is waiting to meet up with us at the shrine."

"I'd love to." Keahi nodded, following after the traveler to the big shrine in the middle of the island. They approached a blonde girl that resembled a mermaid in Keahi's eyes. Right next to her was a man, resembling a dog somewhat, making Keahi wonder who this was.

"Oh, traveler? I see you've brought a friend?"

"This is Keahi, she's another one of our companions on this trip." Paimon introduced and Keahi bowed her head in respect to the priestess. "Keahi, this is Sangonomiya Kokomi, the head pristess of this shrine. And this is Gorou, the leader of the Resistance army,"

"Keahi? I'm sure I've heard that name before." Kokomi placed a finger on her chin as she observed the kitsune, her ears and her tails reminding her of her close friend. Could it be that this was her lost sister? Her dead sister?

"I'm sure it's a common name around here." Keahi laughed, waving her hand a little. As she did so, Kokomi caught glimpse of a flower shaped birthmark in the middle of the girl's wrist. Her eyes widened for a second before she remembered to keep her composure.

"Not really, there's but a f-" she was cut off mid sentence by another voice, coming from their side.

"Kokomi, I'm finished with healing the injured soldiers, anything else you'd like me to do around here before I go on my break?" Keahi turned to the side, to face the owner of said voice. She felt her insides do a flip when she saw someone who she thought was dead all those years. She took a deep breath, not willing to give out her identity just like that.

"Yes, actually, could you accompany the traveler's friend for a moment, I have some things to discuss with Lumine."

"Of course, you can follow me." the girl said, not even looking at the girl, but rather turning away from them and walking ahead. The traveler nudged her friend motioning for her to follow the girl, getting her out of her state of shock. Keahi nodded, walking slowly after the girl who only sat down at the edge of the cliff they were on. She was but a few steps away when the girl's voice struck her ear once again, "Five years ago, I was gifted a hydro vision, figured it was the archon's feeling sorry after taking my little sister away. Never thought I'd see her again. And now, she's standing a few steps behind me with her ears pressed to her head and her tail practically between her legs." her voice was soft, melodic, just like Keahi remembered. She felt like she was witnessing a dream. "Welcome home, Keahi." she chuckled, patting the spot next to her gently.

The younger kitsune let out a sigh, sitting beside her sister, not daring to look over at her. They looked alike, only exception being the older one's hair which was pink, just like their mother's. "I'm sorry." was all that Keahi could muster up the courage to say, earning a chuckle from her sister.

"I know it was your bomb that sent me flying that day." she responded, observing her now fully grown up sister. She had changed since she last saw her, she became even more beautiful, even with the scars decorating her skin. "No need to apologize, I've forgiven you long ago. If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't have a chance to save so many lives with my powers."
