Haru and Kimi. Oh these two have changed their name so many times. First Lilly, then Michelle, then Sarah, then Mizuki, then Rin. I've decided on Kimi. And Haru was Mike. Their parents are orthodox Japanese. Their parents are extremely orthodox Japanese. Kimi embraces her heritage as her parents would want, but Haru does not. He enjoys the livelihood and freedom the being in America brings.
Kimi: She has had a hard last few months--before the books even begin. Normally she is a very caring, loving, quiet, thoughtful, charitable person, however, she was attacked. One night after close up at the library, she was walking to her car when some bboys from her school cornered her. She was caught between a closed door and a wall of screaming testosterone. Haru met her before the library had actually closed and he was coming around the corner as the men started to make a move on her. He fought for his sister and punched out the ring leader. As soon as the leader was down the rest scampered off. Haru picks up his sister every night from the library after she getts off work because sh eis still terrified of going out that back door again. They have kept the insident under raps so not even Angela knows. It's hard for her to talk about.
But she is destend to fall for Tony. She is best friends with his twin, he is attractive, kind, caring and compassionate--to name a few qualities. They are veyr much opposites in their Abilities though. Where as Tony heals people and prevents them from dying if he can, Kimi helps those who have pass away finish their unfinished business. She first realizes her power after they get back from Trael at the end of the first book and get to the hospital and/or Angela's and Tony's house and get the news of Angela's mom. The only problem is that Kimi sees Angela's mom standing next to them. So she doesn't believe them. It ends up causing Angela's father a lot of stress and because no one believes her she runs out crying. Gabriel, however, can see through her eyes and sees the ghost of Alice Purling. He comforts her and explains. They walk in together and explain what is happening to Angela's dad. Tony's eyes open at this point. Even after seemingly hurting his father, but actually being able to talk to his mother he is comforted. (Something like that happens.) And they end up getting together and married after a while.
Her kids are going to be important too, although I don't exactly know how at the moment.
Haru: So I've had a break through with Haru. For the longest time he was just the guy who drooled over Angela and was possessed by Tobias and was a real flat character, now he actually has an Ability. I know, it's about time. He has the power of Empathy--he can how other people feel around him. When his sister got attacked by the men at the library, he was coming around the corner and before he could actually see his sister and the trouble she was in he felt her terror. At first he thought it was weird, but when he jumped into action he didn't really remember it. He was just so very concerned for his sister. However, he has his Mind Opened, and in doing so thought that it was too simple of a gift. It wasn't like moving things or talking to dead people. He wanted something like that. He felt so outcast, although he wasn't really, and rather quickly left the group and followed his parents back to Japan while his sister was going to stay in America to go to college. He ends up traveling a lot and really tries to hide his Ability, although at the beginning it's really difficult.
One night while he is walking home from a friends house (the location is currently unknown) he gets the same feeling of terror and fear. He recognizes it and does an insta-flashback to Kimi's attack. He tries to run away from it, but it grows stronger like he's coming closer toward it. He starts running away from it again only to have it start hurting his chest. Haru retraces his steps a little and finds a girl in an alleyway leaning against a garbage can in the mud with her eyes wide in fear. He feels so bad for her. In the way she was tossed and left over, there was only one thing that could have happened to her. It starts to rain and he takes off his jacket and placing it on her before carrying her to the hospital--after calling his friend and asking what to do. She was checked for rape and found that she was. His parents call and find out where he was. They practically order him to come home, but being the rebellious boy that he is, he stayed at the hospital and watched over her as she slept. He hears the nurses talking about him, he talks with the police, and when he finally gets a moment to think about where he is--he hates hospitals because emotions are so high and it's hard for him to control his Ability--he feels everyone's emotions and starts freaking out because it's just so much. (Over the past while, he's become more of recluse because he hasn't tamed his Ability and so sometimes he ends up taking a lot of drugs to make the pulses dimmer. (IDK if they are hard drugs. . . They might be.) He also smokes to cool his nerves.) But strangely he stays with her and he helps her--because a counselor tells him too, that it would be good for her.
[They end up getting together and have a whole big drama when he says that he has a 'superpower' and that 's how he found her. Weather they stay together or not is unknown. They do break up at first, but then they might get together again. He does become more and more of a recluse and hates his Ability even more. (I could make him stay that way, but that would be very sad.)]
