Legacy Of the Past {Sequel to Two of a kind}

In memory of her

(Ira' pov)

Haruki is so lucky that Aria can communicate back and forth. We were able to get home safely thankfully. Right when we walked into the house though, mom was yelling at us to get ready for the festival.

I've been wondering why did Aunty Sanya put Aria in us? Not that I wasn't grateful for Aria, but didn't she consider the safety of the people? Wasn't she worried if we'd be counted as outcast or in danger?

Was this her way of a cruel present? Doesn't she understand what it feels like to be a jinchuriki?

Aria has been silent and refused to tell me the answers to the questions that constantly haunted my mind.

I sighed putting my thoughts to rest.

Mom was tying my obi right now. My short hair was in a bun with my bangs left alone. The naturally fall to framing my face and a few strands in the middle of my face or near my eyes.

I wore a dark blue kimono, it's sleeves covered my hands, it had light sakura flowers at the bottom and a baby blue obi. It was the only kimono I would wear since the other ones were just way to bright. And mom said it brought out my blue eyes that are identical to hers.

"There we go..." mom muttered concentrated. "Mom..." I called. She hummed in response.

"Why did Aunty Sanya put Aria in me and Haruki?" I asked her. She slowed down her work then stopped entirely. She looked up at me with a smile. "Why hun?" she asked as she stood up and grabbed some bobby pins before coming back behind me and finished pinning my hair.

"I was just curious." I said honestly. She was silent for a few minutes. "I don't know hun." She said. I turned to her with wide eyes. "What do you mean 'you don't know!" I asked her incredulously.

She chuckled. "Your aunty was never one to be open. She was so kept to herself." She said. "Oh." I said sadly. She kissed my forehead and place an blue comb in my hair where my bun was.

"But since I can't answer your questions, maybe this will help..." she said as she put a book in my hands.

I looked at her confused. "What is this?" I asked. She smiled. "Your aunty's journal. She wanted you and Haruki to have it, but I think you would have more interest in it and maybe you could just reveal the answers to Haruki" she said.
