Yin and Yang

Chapter 6

Isabelle and Kimiko

Kimiko began bouncing as she walked while Jing hanged on with dear life. She stopped at the sight of the familiar shirt and slacks. Its him! Again! She walked towards the man again but she noticed people behind him with bags and clothing as well as wood. Before she realized it, she went to him. "Squall!"

When he heard his name, he turned to see the two girls, Isabelle and Kimiko walking towards them. Kimiko, the white haired girl, had a....fairy? Sitting on her shoulder.

Kimiko almost tackled him in a hug but she saw that his eyes was focused on Jing and stopped in her tracks. "Um he was my dog when we met. You are just another person I will have to explain about this too." She sighs softly to catch her breath.

"Oh no, I know what he is. He's one of the royal sacred animals. Think of them as Jimney Cricket."

"So everyone in the family has one?" Isabelle spoked up.

Squall nodded, "Yes, you have one yourself. However you couldn't take it with you. Its not everyday you see a baby with a python."

Python? Isabelle's eyes lit up in sparkles and she had to try her best from squealing in delight. She always wanted a pet and snakes were her favorite animals no matter what people say about them.

I used to remember someone that had them as pet. They are very entertaining. Kimiko smiled at Isabelle before looking towards Squall once again. "So why are you here?"

Squall bowed slightly, "I am the Royal Reviser. I have been looking over the kingdom ever since the king and queen was poisoned."

"Can we go in with you?" Kimiko felt a bit dizzy and held her head. She felt something something ominous feeling and nearly collapsed on the ground at the feeling. Never had she felt this being intense.

Isabelle watch as her sister almost collapsed, holding her up Isabelle ignored the nauseousness, "Kimiko?!"

Kimiko looked up at her sister and laughed softly. "Something bad happened." She giggled and grinned. Something was truly wrong. She was getting sluggish and her words be coming slurred. She tried to stand up but fell down still laughing. "Hey, hey, Isa-Isabelle, Isabelle, there is things that are bad happening." She smiled and her mind began breaking down. She was losing sanity quickly.

Jing flew to Isabelle's ears and grabbed it. "Master needs her mask. She need it badly. I don't even want to see what she may happen to anyone when this happens." He climbed on to the top of her head.

Isabelle looked around and saw the mask in Kimiko's side. Taking it and putting the mask on her sister, she watched as Kimiko hopefully calmed down.

As if it was a breath of fresh air, she started to stand up with no support even though she was a clumsy at that. She patted Isabelle's shoulder in thanks and for support. "That was one thing I do not experience again. There is something truly wrong in the city isn't there, Squall?"

Squall grimaced at the scene and nodded, "We must get you to a safe haven, somewhere we can talk. Its not safe here or at the castle."

Isabelle nodded and while supporting her sister followed Squall. To call least attention to themselves, Isabelle put the hood to her cloak on as well as Kimiko's. Jing was well hidden under it.

Kimiko followed even though she was half dragging her feet. As she got further from the castle, she had started to get better footing and walked along side Isabelle.

There was this feeling at that castle as there was a drunk feeling. It was numbing. I can normally walk without my mask but that... That is something new.
