Reunited
Rin glared at the gate as she waited for her brother to come out. She didn’t know why but something about this place made her uneasy.
“Excuse me?” A kind elderly voice called
“Hm.” Rin looked up to see a blonde elder woman surrounded by tree sprites.
“So you can see me. I wasn’t sure all considering.” The woman smiled kindly at her.
“I get that a lot. Watcha need.” Rin asked the spirit.
“My granddaughter, she’s fallen prey to a demon. Do you think you’d be able to help her? Get her to leave this place and explore.” The woman asked.
“Sure lady, one problem though this gate’s kind o—” The gate popped open well that takes care of her problem. Rin nodded to the elderly woman and entered the garden. It was quite beautiful, kind of remi—
“Luna.” Rin breathed as she stared into the girls' eyes. They may not be their clear blue, but they were the same eyes that always seemed far away.
“How’d you get in here? Are you a demon?” The girl shrieked.
“Eh, Half-demon. What’s your name?” Rin asked.
“Moriyama Shiemi.” The girl whispered. She didn’t know why, but the other girl felt…familiar.
“Rin Okumura, nice to meet you, Moriyama—San.” Rin grinned, walking towards the girl who tried to get up before falling. Rin caught her, smelling the Demon inside her legs.
“Whoa, there you ok?” Rin asked the girl.
“Yeah, just a bit weak.” She answered.
Rin hummed before summoning Hedwig towards.
“Hedwig?” Shiemi tilted her head in confusion like she was trying to remember something.
“How—How’d you know her name?” Rin asked in shock.
“She—I have dreams sometimes about a castle and a girl, touched by Death. Her name was Harriet.” Moriyama explained.
“Lulu—bell,” Rin breathed in awe. Someone else had followed her.
“Ho—how did Harriet? I Mhhm,” Moriyama clutched her head in pain as her legs began to swell and mutate.
“I won’t let you take my food source away, princess.” The demoness roared.
“Rin duck,” Yukio yelled as he shot towards the plant.
“Yukio, wait, it’s connected to her!” Rin screamed at her twin. She couldn’t lose Luna, not again, not her sister.
“Fuck, Rin, how good are you at your fire?” Yukio asked as he switched his bullets out for seal casters.
“Good enough to where she won’t turn to ash, but she might still get burned,” Rin shouted as she unsealed her sword to cut away at the incoming tendrils.
“Right plan B then,” Yukio shouted as he shot a bullet straight at her skull.
“What the fuck Yukio—” Rin screamed before turning as she heard an unearthly wail watching as the demoness left Shiemi. Rin grinned as she sent a wave of fire at the detached plant. “That’s for hurting my sister, you bitch.” She snarled at the dead plant, rushing to catch Moriyama.
“Harriet, you came?” Moriyama smiled at Rin
“Course I came, Lulu, you're my sister.” Rin smiled at the blonde girl.
“Wait, Harriet, Lulu? Rin are you but then.” Yukio’s eyes widened as he realized he wasn’t the only one reborn into this life.
“Neville?” The girls asked at the same time.
“Hah-haha, Of course, we’d end up together again.” Yukio laughed, tears streaming down his face as he embraced his girls.
“Ya’know, this is kind of strange us being born as siblings this time around.” Rin wiped away her tears.
“Twins at that.”
“Looks like you ended up with the bad eyesight though,” Rin smirked at him.
“Yukio~” Shiemi whined, catching his attention.
“Yea—hmph,” Yukio’s eyes widened as Shiemi kissed him for a good few seconds before her mother coughed, interrupting them.
“Mind telling me what’s going on?”
“Do you believe in reincarnation,” Rin asked.
“Honey, I supply exorcists for a living. What do you think?” Her mother sassed.
“Ok, so I’m a centuries-old witch who ended up becoming Death’s Avatar. Shiemi is Luna, who I saw as my sister and was a seer. Yukio is Neville, who was my godbrother and a rather decent green mage. He and Shiemi were married before…” Rin trailed off, remembering how they were killed because of her. Because she wasn’t strong enough, couldn’t protect them, selfish, wea—
“Fuck, Rin, snap out of it. You’re not here; we’re not there. They can’t hurt us. We left them behind.” Yukio pulled his crying sister into his arms, trying to break her from her memories. Shiemi began humming as she pets her sister's hair. It really was unfortunate how the wizarding world betrayed them.
