The Demon Sisters : Hey That's My Face!

Cherry. It was her username, and possibly her own name. She seemed as simple as Kasey was years ago. Perhaps that was a clue enough. Where did they stray? From what truth were they born from?

"Princess. Though I can see that you have a face more fitting for my name." She would say it with a shy smile. She looked like the picture. Kasey's own heart sank. If she faced the same misfortune, Kasey was unsure of what she would be able to do. Could she comfort her? Should she?

She would lift her right hand to her head, letting it sit on the covering on top of her. She tried hard to remember. Hard to forget. How much of her thoughts were her own, and how much of it was being filtered out.

"I can't... remember her." she struggled to even piece her into her life. "But I know someone was there."

"She gave you a name. That is when you first named me."

". . . I remember that."

"When we were removed from that family, I wanted us to start fresh. I wanted you to name me."

"I know, Setsuki. I know."

She stared into the girl's face, almost with sorrow in her heart. She was beautiful. She was so perfect. She was everything Kasey could have been. Should have been. Maybe she was lucky. Maybe their family loved her. Maybe she was loved, when Kasey wasn't.

"I am Kasey Setsuna." she would tell her, "But can you tell me, if the name Rena, means anything to you?" and Kasey would remove the scarf that hid her equally as pink hair, only to bear horns instead of a crown.

And her own heart would turn colder than the treats that were just steps away from her.

The girl, she was as absent as a lost puppy. What was going on in her mind. She was being guided, by what? Faith? Destiny? Something seemed to pull her, like a leash guiding her like-

"Like I do to you." Setsuna spoke. It wasn't too far to assume that with a similar look, that they would hold a similar quirk. Did she too, have a spirit live inside of her? What did she do? What had happened?

"I can't remember what my life before was, but I'm sure I had a sister." Kasey would begin to explain. It was weird, as if everything was making sense, as if it was a truth she was searching for. But now that it was in front of her, she didn't know what to do with the circumstance. "Show me to her." he would tell her, and Kasey would obey.

She would begin to pull up her left sleeve, to show a bloodied bandage. She would begin to unwrap it, letting her wound breathe. There was no point to open a new hole in her body. She was going to use what she had already done to herself. A spike would begin to slowly grow from the two inch wide circular wound on the outside of her forearm. "I have a friend, that speaks to me, do you also have a friend?" The spike would not grow larger than an inch wide, growing half a foot tall. The top of it would begin to form into a skull. . .



"His name is Setsuna, and he has kept me company over all my years." And so, the first spirit would reveal itself. And he would begin to stare into the face of the girl that mirrored his masters.

And so there was two. Two more people who had an entity that existed out of their own body. One that acted as a replication, a mirror of emotions. The other it's own creature that obeyed its' host. Each of them held a similar master and servant relationship. Meanwhile a parasite lived symbiotically in his host. Their own connection was lost to time and faded memories. Setsuna had to protect Kasey, but his own skills were far beyond the body that held her. Any use of his power, would harm her. The most damage she took, the higher risk they both took.

The horned creatures would look at each other before smiling to face the ones before them. A skull to face a spirit, and a girl to view the girl. "Then I guess it's a shame Bubbles can't hear Setsuna." she would say, "I guess no one else can hear Setsuna either."

Setsuna. Moment. That was what his name meant. As in any moment they could die. Any moment could be their last. In a moment, a final moment lives could end, but they could also begin. They were not forever, even if they wanted to be immortal. The pair before them were not strange in any way. It was relaxing to know that their own powers were not so strange, or at least their relationship. Sure, they weren't as common among the other quirks, but to have someone so similar, in every way pt Kasey at ease.

"Setsuna likes eating the bad people." Kasey would tell her, now with more joy and happiness in her voice than before. "Bad people hurt me before, and Setsuna wants all of them to hurt. Does Bubbles like to hurt bad people?"

Even if they were similar, they were not the same. Kasey had begun to remember everything that Seki had prevented her from knowing, and Setsuna could no longer lock away her thoughts. They were spirits but they couldn't speak to each other, not yet. Maybe Kasey would learn how to allow him to do so, but that would come later. Cherry would go on to explain how inconvenient it was that no one else could hear him. Kasey understood no one else could hear Setsuna. She used that her advantage. Anything he said, alerting her, warning her, served to her benefit and no one elses. Sure that hearing him would make her seem less crazy, that was why they talked in her head. But her mind was never quiet. She never got to rest. She could never escape him. Even his thoughts were in her own.

He didn't eat, then he was nothing like Setsuna. Was that the reason they were separated? Why were they split up?

"Because I was incomplete." Setsuna would answer her thought quickly, having been uneasy since it began. "You were kicked out. I caused you more harm than help. I turned you into a monster and they wanted no part of us. That was why I made you forget."

"This is all so confusing, Suki." she would think in reply. It was a lot to take in. As she spoke, he answered, and with his words more questions popped up.

"I'm really happy he makes you happy." Kasey would say. Her mind would drift off to replay the testing and experiments over and over. She thought again of the pain. The dismemberment. The torture. She had to endure it because she could. What if it was Cherry instead? What if Kasey was the one that was kept at home and she was the one removed? No, she suffered so she could live on. She endured the pain so she didn't have to. She would never suffer. She would never feel pain. She would protect her.

Kasey would begin to tear up, smiling as she looked at her reflection. She was perfect. Beautiful. Darkness was not in her world. She saw the good in life. Kasey was broken, bloodied. Light was always out of her reach. She could only see the demons locked behind people's eyes. She only saw what was wrong.

"You should... always be happy." she would speak, tears would begin to fall from her eyes.

She would carry everyone's burden. She would bear the weight. She would cleanse this world of darkness.
