SIBILING RIVALRY

By: Kyoluver15

Disclaimer: I do not own Alice 19th. I would've created a character like myself and ended up with Kyo if I had created this awesomely awesome anime/manga... but I didn't, and it's ok... I still love Kyo Sohma always!

'Mayura... My sister... I'm so sorry... ' Flash backs of Mayura and Alice when they were little entered her brain. The images were fast and yet, slow at the same time so she could remember every little thing that happened that day. Faintly, she could hear a voice calling to her.

"Alice... Alice?" The deep voice rang. Alice opened her eyes bringing her room and two worried faces into her view.

"Frey? Nyozeka?" She asked sitting up on her elbows.

"I just came to tell you that dinner is ready." Frey examined her a little more.

"You're still thinking about her aren't you?" Alice wasn't too surprised; Nyozeka always seemed to know what was on her mind.

She let out a sigh. "Yeah... It's still sort of bothering me..."

Frey sat down on her bed next to Alice. "I know it might be hard for you and that all of this is probably causing you more trouble than anything, but..." Frey looked her in the eyes with a kind smile. "You've got to keep going... For the world's sake." Nyozeka finished.

"...I know..." Alice stood up and walked to the door.

"Alice..."

Alice turned around with a carefree smile. "Don't worry about me, I'm just fine guys. Lets go eat."

Knowing Alice, Frey and Neozeka didn't pressure her any further.

"Alice you really are strong." He whispered walking by her and out the door.

'Yeah... me, strong, ha! If I'm so strong why do I hurt so much right now? Why did I do the most unthinkable to my sister? And why can't I tell Kyo the truth?' Alice reluctantly left her room and drifted down the stairs with Neozeka by her side.

Alice was already in her pajamas when she started her homework.

"Hey Alice, are you in there?" Kyo asked knocking on the door.

"Uh, yeah! Come on in." She answered. Kyo walked in the room seeing that Nyozeka was already asleep. He pulled up a chair to sit in across from Alice who was sitting on her bed with paper and pencils.

"Are you alright?"

"Aw, not you too Kyo. I'm fine! Why wouldn't I be?"

"I don't know, you didn't seem your optimistic self at dinner."

"I was worried about my paper that's due tomorrow. That's all." She lied.

"It must be a pretty stressful paper."

"Yeah..."

"Do you want some help?"

"No, I can do it myself." Kyo stared at her. She cocked her head to the side as if clueless.

"Well if you need anything just tell me, alright?"

Alice smiled. "Sure." Kyo knew that smile, the smile that says I'm not really all right but I don't want you to worry. He knew her smiles too well. But still he stood up and placed the chair back in its proper space and left the room. Alice's smile faded.

She fell back on her bed. "I'm sorry Kyo." She said aloud and drifted to sleep. What she didn't know was that Kyo was standing outside listening through her door.

"Alice lets go play!" A little girl yelled to Alice. The girl grew and morphed into Mayura. Her hand was extended. "Come play with me Alice."

"Mayura?" Alice asked. Alice wasn't sure what was going on but she shook in her spot.

"Come!" Mara shaped into whips burst from Mayura's body and grabbed Alice.

"Mayura stop!" Mayura had a malicious smile of death.

"Come play with me Alice." The whips pulled Alice closer and closer to Mayura. Mayura's hand turned into a spear. "Are you ready Alice?!" She screamed.

"Stop Mayura! Stop!" Alice pleaded.

"I'M WAITING!!!!" There was nothing but malice and hatred in Mayura's voice.

"Mayura!!!!!!!!!!!" Alice was struck with the spear.

"Alice... Alice!!!"

Alice opened her eyes to find herself sweating crazily in her bed. She sat up extremely fast hitting Nyozeka in the head.

"Ow!" She cried.

Alice let out a breath of relief. "Only a dream..."

"More like a nightmare! You were screaming, tossing and turning in your sleep! What happened?!" Alice's door slammed open before she could say anything.

"Alice?! What's wrong?!" Kyo and Frey ran in saying. Everyone else slowly showed up in her room as well.

"Nothing, just a bad dre-" Alice's hand flew to her stomach. "Ow!" She exclaimed. Chris immediately ran over to her and lifted up her nightshirt. There was a scar where Mayura had cut her through. Everyone gasped but the one that was most afraid was Alice.

'I'm waiting...' something said in the back of her mind.

"It can't be..." Alice said shaking. "Tell me it's not possible..." She turned to Chris and Nyozeka. They turned their heads unable to answer.

"What's going on Frey?" Kyo asked. Frey just stared in disbelief.

"Mayura made contact with Alice..." Billy answered.

"But how is that possible!? She was never able to do it before!" Frey retorted.

"Yes but it doesn't that she doesn't have enough power now. With this kind of power, she is capable of almost anything now." Billy explained.

"But-"

"She's connected to Darva remember? Anything is possible. We have to keep a closer eye on you two..." Mei lin added.

"I agree. We can't have anything happening to these two." Neozeka chimed in. She looked at Kyo and Alice. "I know this might sound a little crazy, but I want you two to share a room."

Frey's, Alice's and Kyo's eyes bulged out. "WHAT?!?!?!"

"Nyozeka is right. You two should share a room from now on, then if one is in trouble, the other is already there and we only have to run to one room and not leave the other totally unprotected."

"You think that Alice will be protected with just Kyo in here?!" Frey objected.

"Of course, but it won't be just them two,"

"Okay, I acce-"

"Nyozeka will be in here as well." Chris finished.

"What?! No! That's no different!"

"Well we very well can't have you in here with them. No telling what will happen to Alice in you two are in the same room. Or Kyo for that matter."

"Okay, I kissed him once and that was an accident! Pure accident!!!"

"Stop making such a big fuss. First thing tomorrow, we'll put Kyo's things in here."

"You mean first thing today." Chris pointed to the sun rising.

"Well as long as his own bed is in here too..." Frey subjected.

"Well, I don't know. His bed might not fit in here." Mei lin thought about it.

"WHAT?!?!" The three exclaimed.

"We can't sleep in the same bed!" Alice and Kyo exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Frey agreed.

"Please reconsider! Think about it! If we get rid of my desk then he can have his bed in here!"

"Hm..." Billy thought. "No, you think it would be safer for you two to just share a bed. That way there's no stumbling across anything while the other one could possibly be dying or stolen away. Good thing you have a queen size bed Alice." Everyone except Alice, Kyo and Frey agreed.

"You must be jo-"

"Time for breakfast everyone!" The butler yelled.

"Oh goody! Can't wait to have pancakes with strawberries and whipped cream!" Chris went running. Everyone filed out of Alice's room leaving the three objectors speechless.

"This is very bad..." Frey said falling to his knees in defeat.

Alice turned bright red.

In the same room? Same bed?! Oh my God!' Kyo was also bright red. They exchanged glances.

'Can we do this?' Kyo asked in his head. Alice understood what he was thinking and smiled.

'Well, it won't kill us right?'

"Okay, uh, lets go get something to eat and get Kyo's stuff in here." Alice said walking to the door.

"You too Alice?!" Frey asked.

"It won't kill us right? We're just sharing a bed and a room..." Kyo said walking out the door. They left Frey on the floor sulking.

"My beautiful Alice is being taken away from me!" He cried. He was too busy sulking to notice an eerie feeling, a chill, pass through the room. It abruptly created a form with Mayura's face and then disappeared.
