燕子の物语

Karin did not go back to the room she shared with Miki. Instead, she went back to her old house, which was located at the side skirt of the country.

 
"Puerta Abierta." This was the code to open the main door. Usually people use key to open the door. But there were too many secrets to be kept in this house.. Hence, both she and Takuto used this as a code to open up this door. This is a spell that Krain created. No one had ever thought that one need to use this spell to open the door instead of the normal key.

 
Once Karin got into the house, she whispered, "Cerrar la puerta con llave." The door closed and locked by its own. Karin let go of her disguised form and return to her true form, except she still kept her wings inside her.

 
Who would have guess that the young innocent Karin that she always projected to the outside was only a fake. The true her had long silvery hair and red eyes. That was the trait of a fallen angel, silver white hair with red eyes. No one knew for the fact that she had lived for like hundreds of years. However, time is nothing to the fallen angels. They were forever trapped in time, unable to grow old and yet their power will get weaker if they did not train.

 
Karin lay back on her big cozy bed, recalling the afternoon she had with his little brother, Takuto. His little brother finally grew up a bit, understanding the need to protect someone; finding someone precious to him. However, still impulsive, thinking that all the training he received was able to defeat the pursuers. He, himself too did not know exactly about Miki's past, yet he got this strong desire to protect her..

 
"Should I tell him about Miki's past?" Karin wondered.

 
*Flashback*

 
Takuto and Karin were both from the underworld. There was something unique about them in the underworld. Not one had heard of having a siblings in the underworld. It was considered unlucky to have siblings. Siblings in the underworld usually result in violence and misfortunes. However, things were a bit different from how it was supposed to be. Karin and Takuto were very close to each other. None of them had ever thought of betraying one another.

 
In actual fact, Takuto and Karin were born together. But Takuto was wrapped inside a huge egg, unlike Karin came to the world like how the other fallen angels did. Karin had always protect the huge egg until Takuto was hatched from it around a couple of hundred years later, possessing the body of an adult, keeping the process of childhood.

 
Ever since Takuto came to the underworld, he would always have a vision that he need to protect a certain person. But he could not remember who nor able to know where that person was. It was until later when they both fled to the real world, did Takuto had a familiar feel with his surrounding, determining that this was the place he was destined to be.

 
"Karin, somehow I keep feeling that I came here before. Have I ever been here before?"

 
"You're just imagining things. No way had you come here before. Even I had never been to this place before. This is the human world after all. How can fallen angel like us be here in the first place?"

 
"That's true... But how come I keep having this familiarity here? So weird...”

 
"Don't think so much. Let's find some place to settle first."

 
A big old mansion was where they settled themselves. The exact same location where Karin was resting at the very moment.
