[Kit: I really don't know that much about AnC, but Aya-chan told me some stuff. So never mind me if I call Tooya the big fat Ice Cube or whatever. . .
Aya: **stuffs Kit in a garbage can** Shut-up and just type.
Kit: Hey, I'm not getting paid for this, yanno!
Aya: WELL NEITHER AM I!]
Yuuhi: Ce-Ceres? You. . .you're not Aya.
Ceres: Aya is a girl created by sixteen years of her surroundings. Her personality was formed by the environment in which she lived in.
Yuuhi: Then, right now, what about the tennyo's personality?
(Tooya is alarmed when he hear the question.)
Ceres: We are one body. Aya is me. . . from the very beginning, with the exception that Aya has a stronger will. This is the first time that I am able to appear through the body of a member of the Mikage family.
(Ceres turns her attention to Tooya)
Ceres: Mikage's slave! (fires a blast or whatever at him)
(Tooya dodges.)
Ceres: Tooya. . . I'm going to destroy the Mikage family and even then, you are still against me. . .?
Tooya: . . . yes. I'm here to catch the tennyo alive.
Ceres: If so, you will die along with the Mikage members!
(An explosion)
Tooya: ? Flower petals?
Yuuhi: Hold on a minute!
Ceres: (looking down at the figure on the floor, which happens to be Aya's mother) She is also a member of the Mikage family. .
Yuuhi: Hey! No! You can't do this! No, no, no! This is Aya's mother!!
Ceres: You want to protect her?
(Ceres reaches out to Yuuhi and holds his face in both of her palms)
Ceres: I won't harm you, please leave this place. . . (smiles) Yuuhi...
(Yuuhi becomes confused and blushes)
Yuuhi: (talking to himself) Is she really Aya? Aya is bold and impolite, she can't possibly be Ceres!
(Tooya notices a strange aura)
Tooya: This house isn't that big, why can't I find her? Unless. . . she is in another dimension...?
(A ball rolls on the floor)
Tooya: ?! A ball?
(The ball stops moving. Ceres appears through the ball.
Ceres: Don't you dare leave! Tell me! Where is my feather-robe?
Tooya: CERES!
(Scene switch: Yuuhi is carrying Aya's mother on his back and is speaking to Suzumi on the phone)
Yuuhi: Aya really became Ceres! Her hair and eyes changed--it's as if she is a completely new person!
Suzumi: Hurry! You must stop Aya!
Yuuhi: But how?
Suzumi: You can. There's a spell on the bandanna I made for you. Concentrate hard on helping Aya. If she doesn't change back to herself, we're in big trouble.
(Scene switch again)
Ceres: (to Tooya) Without the feather-robe, I can't return to heaven. You must know where it is!
Tooya: Me? I don't even know who I am!
Ceres: Is that so?
(Yuuhi appears behind Ceres and grabs her in a headlock)
Yuuhi: Stop this!
Ceres: WHAT? Let go of me!
Yuuhi: You are NOT Ceres! You are Aya!!
Ceres: If you get in my way, I'll kill you along with the Mikage family members!!
Ceres: (curses, referring to Shisho) First you take away my feather-robe, and then mingling with the Ceres blood line. . .
(Yuuhi kisses Ceres)
Aya's consciousness: Lips. . . (remembers Tooya's kiss)
Aya: Tooya! (Aya opens her eyes) Huh? (slaps Yuuhi) WHAT ARE YOU DOING, YOU PERVERT?!
Yuuhi: Aya? No way! It worked?
(Aya turns around and finds Tooya behind herself and Yuuhi)
Aya: WHY? What happened here? Wait!
(She runs to another room and finds her mother on the floor.
Aya: (remembering) Oh yeah. . . Mother attempted to attack me earlier. . .
Yuuhi: Your mother is still not awake.
Aya: Mom (Oka-san). . . mom, please wake up. MOM!!
(Scene turns to Mikage residence)
Mikage's Bodyguard: Aki, are you okay?
Aki: I'm a little hungry, can you bring some food to me? My body's too sore to move.
Bodyguard: Okay, I'll bring it to you ASAP!
Aki: Thank you.
(Door opens)
Aki: They believe that I can't move. That's why no one's here to guard me.
(Flasback) [Kit: Don't we just love those?]
Kagami: The scars on your body must be those of Shisho.
(Flashback ends) [Kit: That was short.]
Aki: After listening to what he had said, how could I stay here any longer. . .? I wonder how Aya-chan is doing? Is she really at Aogiri's house?
(he turns around and sees Kagami talking to Grandfather)
Kagami: Yes Grandpa, I will take care of her very soon. If Aya does not die, I won't be able to sleep at night. Before Aki knows about this, we will take care of tennyo.
(in a hospital)
Suzumi: (in reference to Aya's mom) She's still unconscious. The doctor says she's in an unstable mental condition [Kit's note: seriously, that's what the book said!]. Only time will heal her.
Yuuhi: What did the members of the Mikage family do to her? After all, mothers don't attack their own daughters.
Suzumi: Fortunately, Ceres turned back into Aya. (pats Yuuhi on the shoulder. he blushes)
(Yuuhi remembers what his friend once said)
Friend: If a girl doesn't listen to you, just **kissy-sound** her! >_<
Suzumi: Even her eye and hair color changed, and she keeps on yelling for "my feather-robe." She has a strong desire to destroy the Mikage family. However, Aya herself does not remember a thing from when she was in Ceres' form.
Q-chan: (blown-up face) I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS!
(Yuuhi and Suzumi fall collapse)
Yuuhi: Please don't show your face during such serious situations!
Q-chan: You're a dork. You're just jealous because I look like Namie Amuro.
[Note: In case you have no idea who Namie Amuro is, she's a pop singer or something.]
Yuuhi: Did I say that?!
Suzumi: (turns around and calls) Aya-chan!!
Yuuhi: Oh no, did she hear what I said earlier?
Q-chan: About me looking like Namie Amuro?
Suzumi: Whatever. I'm going to go get some drinks.
Q-chan: I'll go with you!
Yuuhi: Wait for me--
Aya: (pulls on his shirt) Did I change to Ceres again? Destroying this house. . . even Tooya. . . did I say I wanted to kill my family? Even my mother?
Yuuhi: No, no, we didn't do that!
Aya: WHY?! WHY CAN'T I REMEMBER?!!? HOW COME I CAN'T REMEMBER WHAT I DID?! (thinking) When I turned into Ceres, I heard voices within me. And they said, 'let go of me.' And I lost to the voices. I won't give up. I WON'T GIVE UP!
Yuuhi: (looks at her)
Aya: I vowed to my father that I wouldn't turn into Ceres again.
Yuuhi: (reaches out for her)
Aya: I even promised that to Tooya.
Yuuhi: (retracts his hand after hearing the name "Tooya" *sensitive spot for Yuuhi-chan, you might say*)
(Tooya is just around the corner and overheard the conversation)
[Kit: ICE CUBE ALERT!]
Yuuhi: (seeing Tooya) It's him. . . (chases after Tooya) WAIT!!! Who are you?! I don't care what Aya thinks of you, but I don't like the sight of you. Listen to me carefully: don't you dare get close to Aya again, because I'm going to protect her from now on!!
(long, awkward silence) [Aya: they make me nervous]
Tooya: (turns around slowly) Please, protect her. Don't let the Mikage family hurt her. And don't let me catch her, either.
[Kit: **has flashbacks of Weiss Kreuz and Aya saying, "I'm not deserving of love."**]
Aya: Kit-chan! WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?! I'm trying to translate!]
Aya: The tennyo wants to destroy the Mikage family. I need to find a way to stop her. She does not only want to kill Grandpa, Tooya, Mother. . . she also wants to kill Aki.
(in a dark alley)
Aki: Aya-chan, wait for me. I'll be there soon. We've always been together. I don't want to leave you. So I won't allow anyone to touch you. Aya, wait for me.
(back to the Mikage residence)
Grandpa: Where the hell is Aki?! What are you guys doing? If something happens to him. . . hurry up and find him! He still hasn't recovered from the explosion!
Kagami: Tooya, you're too slow.
Tooya: I'm tired, can I rest for a while?
Kagami: Aki ran away, and this is your job. You have to go find him.
Tooya: How convenient. First the sister, then the brother. Why can't I rest? (I'm hungry.)
Kagami: (threateningly) You won't go against your orders, will you? If you don't do as I say, you'll never recover your memories.
Tooya: (is quiet for a few moments) I saw "Ceres." Just like you said, Aya changed. She turned into a girl who calls herself Ceres. Her eyes and hair are different from Aya's.
Kagami: Feather-robe. . .?! Then what? We want to catch Ceres alive.
Tooya: I'm going to find Aki. Isn't that what you want?
Grandpa: Kagami!
Kagami: Aki probably went to find Aya. However, he won't be able to find her. And if they do see each other, that will be an interesting situation.
(Aya is dreaming. She sees her father and mother leaving her and screams, "Wait for me!" Then she sees Aki saying goodbye to her. She wakes up screaming, "WAAAAIIIIIIT!")
Q-chan: (disguised at Aki and totally in Aya's face) Sure, I'll wait for you!
Aya: How come Aki turned this ugly?! We're supposed to be twins!
Q-chan: Have you been sleeping too much?
Suzumi: (comes in behind Q-chan) You're finally awake! Yuuhi went to register you for school. You seem very tired, so just take a good rest.
Aya: Suzumi-san, how is my mother?
Suzumi: No big change. They gave her some medication, we're not sure what kind. Don't worry, I'll pay all the fees for her stay.
[Kit: Wow, is she rich or what?]
Aya: Suzumi. . .
Suzumi: Well, when you start working you can pay all of it back. ^_^;;
Aya: (facefault, thinking) What did Grandpa say to my mother? What did they do? Why did Mother want to attack me?
Suzumi: Yuuhi-chan is back! He's not going to school today. He seems ~very worried about you~.
Aya: (thinks) Yuuhi. . .?
Yuuhi: (mumbling) Whaddaheck? I can't stand those people in school. Just because Aya's not going to school today, they keep saying "Couple fight!" and "Your wife ran away!" It's so annoying!
Maid: Welcome back!
[Kit: They are rich!]
[Aya: Didn't I tell you that already?]
Yuuhi: I wanted to come back earlier. (goes to his room, stares, screams) WHERE IS MY ROOM?!
(the room is empty)
Suzumi: Oh, you're back!
Yuuhi: Where's all my stuff?!
Suzumi: Oh dear! Someone must've stolen it.
Yuuhi: EVEN MY UNDERWEARS?!
Suzumi: Q-chan!
Q-chan: Yes?
Suzumi: Right over here.
(Q-chan opens the door and shows Yuuhi his new room)
Aya: RIGHT NEXT TO ME!?
Suzumi: From now on, you'll be staying here. I want you to stay close to Aya so you can protect her at all times.
Yuuhi: But we're only one door apart!
Aya: What if he attacks me before they attack me?!
Suzumi: No, no, he won't do that! He doesn't have the guts to. ^.^
Yuuhi: And just what do you mean by that. . .?
Suzumi: DON'T YOU DARE QUESTION MY AUTHORITY!
SD Aya and Yuuhi: YES MA'AM!
(sleepytime)
Aya: Hey, can you turn your urufuruzu [Kit's note: it was in English letters in the manga] lower?
Yuuhi: I'm listening to it in my room, what's your problem?
(blaring music)
Aya: IF YOU TAKE EVEN HALF A STEP INTO MY ROOM I'LL KILL YOU!
Yuuhi: I'm supposed to be the one to warn you, don't you dare come over and attack a good man like me! [Aya: (cracks up) Aww...he is so adorable]
Aya: I'M NOT LIKE YOU! Since Suzumi is your sister-in-law, you have a higher status than her in this family!
Yuuhi: (is silent) . . . I wanted to stay with her. So I can't say anything. the Aogiri family is one of Japan's most famous geisha families. My late brother was the one who built it. Suzumi married my brother. Unfortunately, he died soon after in a car accident. She inherited the will and protects this family.
Aya: What about the original household? What about you? You're not going to become a geisha?
[Kit: Aya's really wiped out right now. We're aware that men don't become geisha (to our knowledge), we just can't think of the right word. ^_^;; Anyone have a correction, do mail us and say so. **watches Aya start going crazy and scream about being paid** Ah heh heh heh...]
Yuuhi: My mother was a very good cook. She died when I was in fifth grade. I didn't like the food the others made. That's why I ended up doing it myself.
Aya: What about your father?
Yuuhi: There's a brother who's going to inherit my father's estate. Therefore, I choose to stay here.
Aya: You don't have a good relationship with your step-mother? You and Suzumi are just like blood-related brother and sister. Reminds me of how Aki and I are.
Yuuhi: That's true. You know, it's a kind of happiness just to stay with your family and talk.
Aya: (thinks) Family. . . I don't know my own family or who I truly am. Tooya, you must feel the same way I do, not knowing who you are, you can only live alone.
Yuuhi: Don't worry, just stay here and be like one of the family.
Aya: (no response)
Yuuhi: (opens the screen separating their rooms and sees that she's asleep. He bends down and is about to kiss her when. . .)
Aya: (turns over and accidentally slaps him in the face, still asleep)
Yuuhi: I can't believe she used her injured arm. . . am I out of my mind? I want to protect this crazy girl!
(Scene switch, Aki is walking in a dark alley)
Aki: I don't have a single cent on me. . . why didn't I think before I acted? (bumps into Random People. They look really scary. Random Person #1 grabs him.)
Random Person #1: Ouch, that hurt!
Random Person #2: What're you doing out here in your pajamas?
Random Person #3: Are you sick or something?
Aki: Let go of me, you jerks! Ow!
Random Person #1: (lets go and throws him against the wall) Hey, who do you think you are?!
Aki: ". . ."
Random Person #1: Who did you call a jerk?
Aki: Let go of me, I don't have time to waste with you.
Random Person #2: Why aren't you sleeping in a warm bed, huh? Since you're such a spoiled child, I'll just beat you until you can't get up.
Random Person #3: Check if he has any money with him first.
(someone suddenly grabs Random Person #3 by the head and throws him. It's Tooya! Random Person #2 gets kneed in the head. Random Person #1 is kicked in the collarbone.)
[Kit: That looks like it hurt. . .]
Random Person #2: Oh, my bleeding nose. . .
Aki: (surprised)
Random Person #1, 2, 3: (incoherent exclamations of pain)
[Aya: That's a lot of Random Persons...]
Tooya: Was it that bad?
Aki: (crawls slowly away from the Big Scary Ice Cube aka Tooya)
Tooya: Don't you dare leave.
Aki: What are you doing?! I'm an injured person!
Tooya: You'd better come back with me to your house. It's your fault I'm not getting any sleep.
Aki: Stop joking. How can I leave Aya alone when our family wants her life? I left a letter for Mother. I'm going to the Aogiri house to find Aya.
Tooya: Injured?
Aki: If I wasn't injured, I would've have gotten into such a mess (referring to the Random People). I have to find her. Aya's strong, but she still has her weaknesses.
Tooya: You're worried about her?
[Kit: NO DUUUUUUUUUHHHHH!!!]
[Aya: puzzled look. What is Tooya thinking?]
Aki: Of course I am! She's the only sister I have!
(Tooya grabs Aki by the shoulder)
Aki: WAIT, HEY, LEMME GO!
(Scene switch)
Aya: (is laying on the bed) Yuuhi? (thinking) Did I fall asleep in the middle of our conversation? (sees an old-looking book on the table) I found it! Ceres and the Feather-robe
(legend)
Long ago, in a certain place, there was a fisherman. One day, the fisherman saw many beautiful maidens--the tennyo==bathing in the sea. Some beautiful robes were hanging on the [insert name here] tree.
[Kit: There's a picture of the tree there, but we're not botanists or whatever, so we have no idea what kind of tree it is. Anyone? Hello? Help?]
What the fisherman found were the feather-robes of the tennyo. He stole one and took it home. Without her feather-robe, that particular tennyo could not return to heaven. When she saw the fisherman, she asked, "Have you seen my feather-robe? If you did, please return it to me." The fisherman pretended not to know what she was talking about. That tennyo ended up marrying the fisherman. Later on, they had children.
After several years, the tennyo heard about her feather-robe through the songs of her children. She eventually retrieved her feather-robe and returned to heaven, leaving behind her husband and children. . .
(end legend)
(scene switch)
(Aki gets out of Tooya's car)
Aki: Where is this place?
Tooya: This is the Aogiri household. Aya is in there.
Aki: (surprised) Tooya!
Tooya: But you can only stay for one night. And if you see Aya, don't tell her I'm here.
Aki: Why? You know Aya? . . . thank you.
(scene switch)
Aya: (sitting on the "porch?") Ceres, I thought you already went back to heaven. Why do I still turn into you? If I go on like this, I might kill my own family without knowing it, even my brother. . .
Aki: Aya-chan!
Aya: (looks up) Aki. . . (rubs eyes) I'm seeing things. I have to go back to sleep.
Aki: Aya-chan, it's me! Are you okay?
Aya: Aki. . .?
Yuuhi: (rushes over, thinking that an enemy has come)
Suzumi: (grabs Yuuhi's arm) Don't worry, I trust that kid. He's Aya's twin brother.
Yuuhi: Huh?
[Kit: Clueless Male Alert.]
(scene switch)
Aki: You seem thinner since our birthday. You keep on telling me you want to go on a diet, but now you're so thin.
Aya: Baka. (hugs him and starts to cry) I MISS YOU EVERY SINGLE DAY! Do you know how I feel by myself? I thought I'd never see you again in my life!
Yuuhi/Suzumi: (are watching the reunion from. . . somewhere)
Suzumi: Yuuhi, I want you to cook tonight.
Yuuhi: Sure.
Aya: Aki, how did you get here?
Aki: Too- (stops)
(both Yuuhi and Aya start when they hear the name)
Aki: Oh, just someone I know.
Aya: (smiles) (thinks) Tooya. . .?
Yuuhi: I knew it! I'm not going to cook tonight!
Suzumi: Don't you dare!
(all four are inside the house, looking at the scars all over Aki's body)
Yuuhi: Whoa, a body full of scars. That must've hurt.
[Kit: **sweatdrops**]
Yuuhi: Can you move at all?
Aya: Are you okay?
Aki: Oh, they look painful, but I'm okay. (turns SD, to Yuuhi) I loved your food!
Yuuhi: Really? I knew it.
Aki: Also, thank you for taking care of Aya-chan. I don't know what's going on, do you know Aya? Why is Grandpa attacking us?
Yuuhi: (gets up and leaves the room) You two get some rest, I'll be next door. If anything happens, just yell for me.
Aya: (thinking to herself) I can't. . . I can't tell Aki.
(Aki and Aya have separate beds; they are now in bed)
Aya: Aki, can we hold hands?
Aki: Sure.
Aya: It seems like old times again. I feel so safe.
Aki: Yeah, I know.
Aya: Are you still the old you?
Aki: Of course I am! I'm going to stay with you, so don't worry about it and go to sleep.
Aya: Oh yeah, about the earrings. . . (she sees that he's already asleep) Never mind. Good night.
(in the middle of the night. . .)
(a pair of hands try to strangle Aki)
Voice: I FOUND YOU! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SOILED ME! GIVE ME BACK MY FEATHER-ROBE!
(the voice turns out to be Ceres)
Ceres: WHERE IS MY FEATHER-ROBE?! GIVE IT BACK TO ME!
Aki: (thinking) She's so strong!
Tooya: (comes in with his sword and goes slashy-slashy at Ceres)
Ceres: (dodges and floats) Tooya, it's you again!
Tooya: Come over here, Aki.
Yuuhi: (comes rushing in) What's going on?!
Aki: (turns around) That bathrobe--Aya-chan?!
Ceres: Leave, Tooya. That man is my nemesis!
Tooya: I'm sorry, Aki. She's not your twin anymore. Go outside.
Ceres: Don't you dare leave this room! You're the one who hurt me! The scars on your body are the proof!
(huge explosion)
Tooya: (protecting Aki; he is apparently unscathed)
Ceres: What? Why doesn't my power work on you?!
Tooya: It's my job to protect Aki.
Aki: (rushes over to Ceres) AYA! WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?! IT'S ME! It was so hard for us to meet, Aya, PLEASE!
Ceres: You. . . don't touch me! (pushes Aki away)
Aki: You want me to return your robe and you said that I'm your nemesis. What does that mean?
Ceres: It was the first time I came down from the heavens. That Mikage man took my feather-robe. Without the robe, I can't return. And that man. . . yes, that's right, those scars. I was the one who put them there. I have to seek my revenge! I will take back my feather robe and I will destroy the Mikage family!
Aki: You're lying. . . how is that possible? That man--you're lying!
Ceres: Only you know where the feather-robe is hidden. Give it back to me, NOW!
Suzumi: (comes from behind Yuuhi) Yuuhi, hurry up and return Aya to us! You heard what she said; she wants to kill Aki!
Aki: I don't know anything about a feather-robe! I'm Aki, I'm Aya's--your--twin.
Ceres: (screams) I'M NOT YOUR SISTER! We're enemies, you and all of the Mikage family!
Yuuhi: (grabs Ceres' hand) Enough! Turn back into Aya!
Ceres: Yuuhi, why? I don't want to become Aya again! I want Aya to sleep forever. I will end this once and for all.
Tooya: (aside, to Aki) Leave now unless you want to die here.
Ceres: (overhears) Wait!
Yuuhi: This is the only thing I can do. (kisses Ceres)
SD Suzumi and Q-chan: Oh my God. . .
(Ceres becomes Aya again)
Aya: AKI! TOOYA! WAIT! (chases after Aki and Tooya) WHERE ARE YOU TAKING AKI?! (thinking) What's going on? Why's the door broken?
(Aya is now running in the street)
Aya: Wait, wait, Tooya!
(Meanwhile, Tooya and Aki encounter Kagami)
Kagami: Tooya, you've done well. You don't have to worry about the rest. (turns to Aki) Get into the car.
(At the same time, Aya is running toward them in her bathrobe. It's not covering much.)
[Kit: Fan service. ^_-]
Aya: TOOYA! (grabs Tooya's coat) Where's Aki?! Where is he? Why did you take him away?! Didn't you bring him here!?
Tooya: You've recovered? Kagami took him away. That was his car you saw.
[Kit: Don't worry, we're not ending yet. We're just braindead and Aya has to go. She does have a job, you know.
Aya: MONEY! MONEY! I'M RICH! . . . I have to go tutor little kids.
Kit: Awwwww. ^_^
Aya: Shoot me.]
