"Not five, eight. There's myself, then Ren, Sakura, Kyou, Aoi, Kiku, Ayame, and Tsubaki," the redhead corrected, perfectly aware of how absurdly large her family was in modern Japan, "Ren and Sakura are twins and so are Ayame and Tsubaki. I'm glad there's not going to be any more, else my mother would run out of plants to name us after."

There was a definite theme with her family's names--not only [i]could[/i] they be written as plants, they [i]all[/i] were. Her mother seemed far too interested in gardens to be healthy.

"Ren and Sakura would come here right now if they could and force me to retire from taking part in anything risky. I'm glad I'll graduate before then, since they won't leave class to find me after the Creatures of Samhain video," Kaede said, not really worried because at least this way they could defend themselves. The video was shown quite early into first year, compiling the rare video footage of something from the other side of the gate.

She found that quite odd to watch, since a large part of it--and the most recent--involved her arms.
