The sky was tinted a pale gray, clouds seeming to have enveloped the sun. A soft breeze trickled throughout the area, keeping the air fresh and light, perfect for flying. If one were to have looked up that day in the Midoriko Province, they would have noticed two small figures soaring on the gray canvas the clouds had provided. One radiated a peaceful, bright, yet stern sort of aura, while the other seemed to radiate a crazed sort of feeling, one that caused you to feel a strong sense of discomfort in your gut. Saika and Rin Kagamine, the two siblings flew side by side. It was a rather odd sight, Rin being an angelic being with huge feathered wings that shone a pure white, while Saika was all but a smudge of darkness, occasionally seemingly insubstantial wings bursting out to keep her afloat. Both had a deep red light in their eyes, seeming to pierce through whoever they looked at.
Finally, Rin's sharp eyes caught sight of the great turtle the independent mage's guild of Sleeping Forest was rumored to be on. She pointed silently, with one faintly glowing finger, and the two descended together, demon and angel. As they landed, bother underwent a surprising transformation. Saika's shadows seemed to swarm up into one writhing form above her head, flatten into her, and disappeared. Rin's wings shot up, and folded them selves out of the world as well. Both lost the light in their eyes, and suddenly, two normal teenage girls stood there.
"Oookay, Rin! Where's this mysterious guild you wanted to join, hm?" Saika asked in a sweet, motherly voice. She was the older of the two and felt it was her responsibility to keep Rin as safe as could be.
"Just over that rise, Saika," Rin replied emotionlessly, her voice flat and lifeless.
"Aw, Rin, show some respect and address your Nee-chan with the correct honorifics!" came Saika's reprimandation, spoken in a scolding tone.
Rin sighed, and replied with, "Honorifics are a waste of energy. Saying "nee-chan" takes about one second. If I addressed you ten times a day, that would waste ten seconds of my time. Added up in a year would be 3650 seconds of time and energy wasted."
Saika responded with a groan, as they came into view of the guild hall. "Helloooo! We want to join your guild!" the demonic girl called out, while Rin watched on silently.
