"Check this out! Saiko, Saiko! Look!"

Saiko sighed as she went to amuse the redhead. She couldn't shake the girl off no matter how hard she tried. Now, she just tried to say something to the girl so that the annoyance would leave her alone. Oddly enough, it worked better. Now she didn't have to listen to Satsuki's insistent whining and crying if Saiko ignored her. Saiko just had to sit in the same room as Satsuki sometimes, and that was enough. Saiko didn't want to admit it, but she hadn't given enough credit to Satsuki- since the girl was terribly lonely. It made sense that she'd wanted to talk to Saiko so much- Saiko was just annoyed easily by the redhead.

"What is it?" Saiko sighed, turning to the girl.

"Look!" Satsuki held up a piece of paper. "Don't tell mommy or daddy.."

"What is that?" Saiko was suddenly extremely interested and walked forward. Examining it, she read names. Their names. Saiko Paath, Satsuki Kaira Reiko. She had a name as extra as her personality. Under their names were a list of things. Under hers, it had her birthmark listed, personality traits, and the word water.

Water?

"What does that mean?" Satsuki looked over Saiko's shoulder, pointing to where hers said blood.

"I don't know," Saiko replied, sighing as she heard Mario and Rosalina approaching. "Quick, put this away."

Satsuki grabbed the paper and shoved it into her drawer, and the two girls sat on the bed, and began talking.

"Hello girls," Mario greeted. "I'm glad you guys are finally able to tolerate each other. Nothing makes me happier."

"Haha! It took a while," Satsuki grinned. "Saiko just needed some time to adjust-"

"Mm-hm," Saiko muttered. "Definitely."

"Anyway," Rosalina interrupted. "We wanted to talk to you girls about... well, your birthmarks."

"I've got a birthmark?" Satsuki asked, confused. "Really?"

"Yeah. It's not as obvious as Saiko's, evidently," Rosalina pointed to the raindrop on Saiko's forehead. "You'd probably never know about it unless we told you, but this is what makes you special. Having this birthmark."

"Wow... so what's mine, what's mine?"

"Well, come here, child."

Satsuki walked over to Rosalina, and Rosalina tucked the hair behind her right ear. She tapped the back of Kaira's earlobe.

"This is it," Rosalina said softly, and Saiko could make out a tiny axe. "Your birthmark."

"Well, I can't see it! What is it?" Satsuki complained.

"It's an axe," Saiko replied quietly. "It's... interesting. Rosalina, why do you have one as well? What does this mean?"

Rosalina flinched from being called by her first name instead of 'mom' like Satsuki would. She eyed her birthmark star on her right hand.

"Well, it means that you guys are special. You guys were born with a wonderful power-"

"You produced me so that I'd have it," Saiko interjected. "I wasn't born with anything."

"-This power that is only available to those who have a birthmark."

"Whoa, I can be stronger?" Satsuki's eyes widened. "That's great!"

"Yes," Mario agreed. "It is. Unfortunately, not every single birthmark-wearer has this power."

Rosalina looked at her hand upsettingly.

"But that's alright!" Mario covered up quickly, slinging an arm around Rosalina and kissing her cheek. "You don't need powers to be a wonderful leader."

"Yeah... you're right," Rosalina nodded. "Anyway. These birthmarks give you a special... power."

"Power..?" Satsuki cocked her head slightly. "Like what?"

"Well.. everyone has a different power. And it's triggered by... well... it's triggered by bloodshed."

"What!?" Satsuki exclaimed. "B-but-"

"Your power is the power to manipulate blood, Satsuki," Mario carried on, ignoring the stunned look on the redheads face. "And Saiko, your's is-"

"Water," Saiko interrupted. "How original. Did you guys plan for me to have the raindrop?"

"Well," Rosalina scratched the back of her neck. "Hehe...yeah."

"This power is activated by an injury to your birthmark," Mario told them. "So if I may.."

When he pulled out a knife, Satsuki shrieked and ran to Rosalina, clutching onto her dress tearfully.

"Mommy, mommy, no, no, no!"

"It'll be alright, darling," Rosalina coaxed. "You'll be able to get stronger. Isn't that what you want?"

"B-but," Satsuki swallowed. "I-I don't want to-"

Saiko grabbed the knife from Mario's hand and  nicked her own birthmark. Satsuki cried out as blood dripped from Saiko's birthmark.

"It's not that bad," Saiko stared at the ground. "Just do it-"

Her eyes widened and she dropped the knife as all of a sudden water burst out of her hands, hitting Mario straight in the stomach and sending him back. He hit the wall, gasping for breath as Saiko began sobbing, unable to stop.

"What is happening!?" Saiko grit her teeth as she tried to stop the flow of water falling from her eyes, but it seemed nothing would help. "Ugh...!"

"Rosalina, Satsuki, stay back!" Mario shouted. "We don't know what she's going to do!"

Satsuki was scared of what might happen to her... but she figured it was better to get it over with. She grabbed the knife, and nicked the back of her ear.

"Wait, Satsuki-!"

Rosalina thrust the girl out of her hands as blood sprung from the cut, and it encircled Satsuki. Satsuki shrieked at the sight of her blood.

"What's going on-!"

Eventually, everything calmed down, Satsuki shaking with fear. Saiko's eyes were puffy from her uncontrollable crying.

"Well... those are your powers!" Mario laughed. "We'll figure out how to control them, I promise."

"They better," Rosalina added. "I shouldn't be scared of my own children!"

Hey everyone! Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Also I lied, 10 year old Satsuki is coming soon, but in like two chapters ish.
