Memories of the Past.

"Bochome." Call Takehara lirih.

Hotaru wiped away her tears staring at the woman four years older than her, who was still looking down in reverence. Hotaru tried to calm herself down.

"Rin neecchan, can I hold you?." Takehara fluttered on the spot, she was very surprised.

" H hi'." Answer stammering.

Hotaru approached Takehara wrapping her arms around Takehara who was still kneeling in reverence.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you." Hotaru continuously.

"Bochome." Takehara.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you." Hotaru hugged Takehara.

"Bocchama if ojou chan sees you crying he will be very sad." Takehara recalled her young lady who could not see the tears of her twin sister.

"Thank you for living, thank you for protecting us, thank you for all your sacrifices." Takehara took off Hotaru's embrace.

"I feel happy to also be honored to get a sincere greeting from you, but our bocchama should not be too long here. A lot of Daren Dono's people are watching us."

Hotaru wiped her tears from standing up.

"Stands for Rin neecchan." Hotaru. Takehara stood up following the orders of his master.

"As per previous agreement. I've killed the man you asked for, from now on bocchama must obey my words." Takehara.

"Hm, fine."

"Follow me." Pinta Takehara led Hotaru out of the room into the elevator up to the fifth floor.

Takehara opened one of the room doors, telling Hotaru to come in. The building has three floors of restaurants and four floors of hotels above it.

"Please sit down, I'll explain." Takehara stood leaning against the table facing Hotaru who was sitting at the bedside.

"First, from now on I am your older sister Hachibara Rin." Hotaru listened well.

"Second, we don't have parents and we're just alone. Third, I will teach you another type of martial arts. Fourth, you should not be in contact with any branch company. To the fifth, stop looking for ojou chan. Sixth, I'll talk informally with you. Understand, Hotaru?." Takehara was now staring at Hotaru's bead.

"You look creepy like this Rin neecchan." Hotaru.

"Call me neecchan not use Rin, do you understand everything I say Hotaru." Hotaru swallowed her rough saliva.

The girl who used to always prick her and uphold loyalty is now turning into a woman who seems to tell you to submit to her. Hotaru smiled looking at Takehara.

"Of course, all those rules are ways to protect me. You want to hide me neecchan?." Hotaru guessed right. Takehara nodded steadily.

"From now on you're back to using your real name." Hotaru was surprised, she had not expected it to come this far.

"Do you know what you just said?." Sergey Hotaru.

"Of course." Answer Takehara.

"You're crazy, tell me who told you?. You want to lure them all out?!." Hotaru. His enemies would not remain silent if they heard his real name.

"There have been enough incidents in Indonesia. Waita!." Hotaru stood staring intently at Takehara's bead.

"You know about Yuki, don't you, Rin." Hotaru said in an intimidating low tone, the rules forbid her to look for her sister, using her real name, must be a lot hidden by Rin, Hotaru thought.

Tuk.

"Araa!."

Takehara hits Hotaru on the head with her karate moves.

"Courteous talk to your brother, what was that look. Where's your manners Hotaru." Takehara scolded Hotaru, the woman actually did her role as an older sister.

"Sorry." Lirih Hotaru stroked her aching head.

"Therefore I pretended to be your brother Hachibara Rin to confuse them, it's time to come out of hiding and fight."

"The rest I will explain later after we get to the destination, before it is forbidden to ask. Understand, Hachibara Hotaru?!." Takehara.

"D-'." Answer Hotaru.

Tuk.

"The correct answer." Takehara Correction.

"Hi'." She turns into a female bear, inner Hotaru.

"Replace your clothes with that, our plane's in two hours." Hotaru glanced at the clothes on the bed grabbing her and walked to the toilet.

"Where are we going?." Hotaru asked walking past Takehara.

"Hour hometown." Hotaru looked at Takehara.

Rin is looking for dead, inner Hotaru.

"Besides asking." Takehara emphasized every sentence.

Hotaru took a deep breath while holding her chest to be patient.

Two people were walking steadily in the bustling airport, the appearance and charisma of the two people attracted the attention of many people to look towards them. Casual clothes with jeans, sunglasses and masks partially cover their faces.

Takehara who was shorter than Hotaru handed her suitcase to the young man walked behind casually.

"Neecchan admitted it, you took advantage of this opportunity instead." Sergey Hotaru with two suitcases in each hand.

"Of course, now that no one's defending you anymore, so I'm free." Answer Takehara.

"Necchan ..." Hotaru Protest.

"Check in check in." Takehara stepped lightly leaving Hotaru behind.

***

After a long and tiring journey Takehara and Hotaru finally arrive in front of their new home.

"I thought we were going back to our hometown." Hotaru.

"It's japan, isn't it your hometown." Takehara.

"I think our hometown, it's not. I mean is, a village is not a country." Hotaru.

"Our village's two hours by car from here." Answer Takehara.

Thankfully, I just need to not get close, inner Hotaru. Hotaru stared at the typical Japanese house with a large land and green plants surrounding the house.

"And why is our house in the middle of a field like this?, alone. Our neighbors are far enough away." Hotaru looked around carefully.

"Indeed this is what we need, our neighbors won't be able to hear your screams." Takehara smiled slantingly as she walked into the courtyard of the house.

"Wait for neecchan." Hotaru's dragging their suitcase around Takehara.

Hotaru walks into a house too big for both of them to live in. He lifted the suitcase into the middle room. Waiting for Takehara to check the whole room.

"We have an empty kitchen, bathroom, toilet, one lounge and three rooms. I'll pick the nearest room from the kitchen." Takehara decided.

"I'll choose the first room." Choose Hotaru.

"Alright it's decided, take the suitcase to my room. Since it was night, the kitchen was also empty, and our house was far from the supermarket. For tonight we must hold the hunger." The harsh reality of what else befell Hotaru.

"Living in hunger again huh." The young man murmured considering his past while in solitary island brackets. Takehara patted Hotaru twice on the shoulder.

"Our fate is full of many struggles." Takehara said lightly.

"Yes yes, neecchan seems to enjoy it a lot." Chirps Hotaru.

"Of course, I won't give in to the cruelty of this world." Hotaru smiled faintly at Takehara's reply.

***

The sound of birds chirping, the morning wind that infiltrated from the sidelines of the ventilation, warm sunlight through the curtains of the room. Hotaru opened her eyes breathing a lot of air, getting up from her deep sleep walking open a big window letting the morning air hit her, into the room.

Some birds fly in the yard, and some butterflies that perch on the petals of flowers, a stretch of green rice fields that become a view of Hotaru in the morning.

Brakes.

"Hotaru, wake! when do you sleep." Takehara opened the door violently.

Takehara fell silent at Hotaru who was looking out solemnly. The young man turned his head slowly towards her and smiled warmly.

"I miss my hometown so much. Isn't our hometown beautiful." Hotaru looked back at the natural beauty of her room.

Takehara approached Hotaru standing a short distance away from the young man.

"Forget, it's beautiful." Takehara.

"I was remembering how the days when our family was intact, even now I was like hearing the spoiled voice of Yuki while waking me up, hahaha." Takehara glanced at the smiling Hotaru with a distant looking look.

"Don't dwell too long on the past, our bitter reality is still waiting to be resolved. This morning we didn't have breakfast." Takehara said to go.

Plaque.

Hotaru patted her forehead quite hard.

"A very bitter reality, this morning also starved again. This world is really cruel, how happy the world is to see me holding back hunger." Hotaru muttered to make her bed and immediately went to the bathroom.

"It seems like everything. Hotaru let's go, stop putting on such a pale face." Takehara pointed at Hotaru's face.

"I didn't set it up on purpose!, this is because since yesterday morning I haven't eaten." Sergey Hotaru was a little upset.

"Good, let's set out in search of stuff and food so we can survive." Hotaru shook her head looking at Takehara's back.

Hotaru thought they were going straight to the restaurant or at least buying food after a long trip using Takehara's order taxi, but the painful fact again came to her.

Takehara stopped at the car serum, twenty minutes later the woman chose the car and did not buy it. Ah, he was filling out the documents of the new car owner meaning soon Rin was done, Hotaru thought happy to imagine a restaurant.

And sure enough a few moments later they left in the new car. Instead of going to the restaurant Takehara instead visit the home furnishings store to buy a lot of goods.

"Hotaru, you choose one." Pinta Takehara, Hotaru was staring at a row of bicycles lined up.

"I? what's for?." Hotaru asked, she thought she didn't need that thing.

"For you to go to school, what do you want to ride?." Takehara mocked the young man.

"Car." Answer Hotaru lightly.

Tak.

"Nothing." Rejecting Takehara, Hotaru stroked her head which got karate style from Takehara.

"This one." Hotaru pointed at her chosen bicycle while rubbing her aching head.

"Is my school close?." Ask Hotaru.

"Yes, very close. That's why you need this thing so much." Answer Takehara.

Hotaru felt a little strange with the woman's answer.

Takehara had bought all the necessities of the house and others, he immediately stuck the gas to go to the nearest restaurant. The restaurant was quite crowded because it coincided with the lunch hour.

Takehara and Hotaru had already ordered food as soon as they sat down, waiting while listening to the chatter of some people sitting at the table close to them.

"I never imagined this fast coming back here." Hotaru opened the conversation.

"I've been planning on going back with Yuki, mother, father, and grandmother." Hotaru put her chin in the hand staring at a family enjoying lunch together.

"So, explain everything now." Hotaru turned to look at Takehara.

"Hmm .., let's think first. Should I start calling you?." Hotaru nodded.

"After I left the pavilion I went to the hawaii and started contacting you from there. Where do I know?, of course from Ayumi dono." Hotaru took Takehara's explanation seriously, the woman in front of her had a lot of things she didn't know.

"For easier we go back to twelve years ago." Takehara said smiling knots.

Hotaru's memory goes back to when she was four years old one week away to five. Should be a child his age his memory is still a little fuzzy about the memory of memories that have been passed but not with him and his twin sister. How could he forget that horrible memory.

"I had a high feeling since childhood. Six hours before the attack I persuaded ojou chan (Yuki) and bocchama (Hotaru) to stay at a friend's house but bocchama refused him because he wanted to train with the same Hachibara (Kakek Hotaru and Yuki)." Takehara leaned her back on the sofa.

"I told the restlessness of my heart to my mother, for a moment I ignored the unwarranted worries of the nine-year-old. Since I was upset with mother, I went to see father who told me to replace ojou chan in his room." Takehara glanced at the seventeen-year-old youth in front of her.

"Move a sleeping bocchama into the same room of Lusi (Sama is a high honorary title). Eleven o'clock in the evening the attack happened very quickly, I didn't think there would be such a big assault, nobody expected it. Do you still remember what happened that night?." Hotaru nodded at a glance, she looked calm but actually did not.

"That means you know everything that happened that night."

"Hm." Answer Hotaru.

Takehara nodded at a glance, starting to continue.

"The battered me was taken by them, to that disgusting base. I didn't know those fools or those unlucky ones had brought me into the core of the base."

"Because the anxiety I had felt for hours before made me prepare everything. I brought a small knife, needle, and thin wire made by ojou chan, hahaha somehow before the attack I remembered the attack trick taught by ojou chan." Takehara closed her mouth so that the sound of her laughter did not disturb other visitors.

Hotaru also remembered it. At that time the three of them were sitting under a cherry tree near the pond, grandfather and grandmother watching them from the porch beside the house. Yuki suddenly ran from behind the house carrying a large parcel that almost covered her face approaching them.

"Minna mitt! (Everyone look!)." Yuki said with sparkling eyes and a radiant face did not miss the beautiful smile that always adorned her face. Yuki placed the package open it with vigor making her thick cheeks move up and down.*

"No-.., secret equipment!." Yuki girang said.

"Ojou chan, it's just a small knife, a needle, and a wire. Sorry what's so special?." Ask Takehara.

"Rin doesn't know about art." Reply Yuki with a waist.

"Ehe." Takehara could only smile awkwardly.*

"What did you do to the wire, Yuki?." Hotaru asked who was already holding the wire rubbed carefully. Yuki's eyeballs widened closer to Hotaru.

"I made it!, I tried to make it thinner to be easy to carry without reducing the length of the wire and not also reducing its strength, then,"*

Hotaru was most pleased to see Yuki's excited face and her sparkling, extremely beautiful eyes. The blue eyes were luminous, the lips were constantly moving cute, and the cheeks of her fluttering bully were unwilling to remain still. Hotaru was very happy, just seeing her twin like that made her heart seem to float lightly inside.*

"Then, when there are dozens of enemies around you you don't have to be afraid." Yuki continued, his short hand stretched forward as if holding a knife.*

"Why is that so ojou chan?." Ask Takehara.

"Cklaus ... Rin, I'll tell you how to use this secret equipment." Yuki said after shaking her head.

"These three minuscule things benefit our bodies that have not yet grown." Yuki started to explain.

"Yuki, you just have to say that our bodies are short." Hotaru's chirps turned Yuki's expression into annoyance.*

"We are not short Hotaru, my height will reach one hundred and seventy inches. We just haven't grown yet." Sergey Yuki stared hard at Hotaru, his lips pursed in annoyance.

"Hi hai (Yes yes), Yu will definitely be that tall, I just need to grow taller than you, so there's no problem." Hotaru looked lazy.

"You're spoiling her too much." Hotaru Protest.

"Really, hahaha."

"You're this."

Yuki who got the defense smiled happily and continued her explanation.*

"Fold the knife at the end of the wire, then move fast and agile like a cheetah, wrapped around the wire around the enemy's neck one by one and then slightly pulled him to continue to the next enemy. If any enemies come I knock off their vital points with a knife and quickly wrap the wire around its neck looking for a shaft to lighten me to pull the wire, pull it with all my might and they can't do anything." Clearly Yuki's hands were as if doing all those moves.*

"Like a nutmeg, with one net can get dozens of fish." Yuki smiled winning.

"Ojou chan makes it sound easy." Chirping Takehara.*

"If there is an enemy who can loosen its girth how?." Ask Hotaru.

"Because of that our movement must be fast, do not stop, the wire will also continue to be interested. That's the importance of moving like a cheetah. Cheetah before attacking will notice the opponent's movement and lock him." The three children began to understand.

"The key is the first person, if the first person succeeds it will be easy to move on to the second person, when the second person moves after me and the first person is still busy releasing the twists he will be attracted by the second person saving my energy when pulling them later. Oh, it's important too." Yuki took out the thin wire it made a bond.*

"I cannot make a loose knot or the enemy will easily let go." Mumbled Yuki.

"Then .., so." Yuki smiled with satisfaction.*

"Ywis ... Comehere!. Grandpa's got sweets for you." Grandpa. Yuki just threw the wire and ran over to Grandpa.

"What way this will work." Hotaru.

"I doubt it bocchama." Takehara.
