Blade's Edge (Chronicles of Gensokai)

According to their government they can’t exist.

Orphans Mishi and Taka have always struggled to hide the elemental powers that mark them as Kisōshi—wielders of elemental magic that everyone “knows” can only be male.

When Mishi is taken from the orphanage, the two friends fear they will never meet again. Suddenly alone in their fight to survive, each girl must come to terms with her true nature—Mishi as warrior, Taka as healer. Years after their separation, the girls’ journeys lead them each to uncover the horrifying secret that the Rōjū council has spent centuries killing to keep.

Now the Rōjū council wants them dead, and they will have only one chance to save their people.
