December 2nd, 1999.

Everything is green and red, and there's the distinct smell of smoke in the air.

As a young boy stirs, his senses are on a blinding red alert, the strange scent and colours invading his vision, and sending off every single warning sign in his body. He feels as though he shouldn't be awake, and that he's seeing something he shouldn't be seeing. But he forgets that as he remembers what he was doing before he woke up, and immediately he looks around the area in a desperate search.

Did the car crash? No... the answer stands in the distinct sound he's only ever heard in movies and television shows; gunfire. As if on cue, his body's fight or flight system tells him to get away from whatever was firing off that weapon.

Before he's able to get away, a distinct and almost disgustingly strong smell of iron and of something burning catches his attention, and he makes a desperate attempt to look from where he lies on the ground, the cold asphalt concrete road, to the car.

Everything runs cold.

He can't diverge his eyes away, he simply can't, from the burning bodies he presumes to be his mother and father, one lying half out of the broken window, and the other half out the door, body mangled, bloody and burnt.

It's a horrifying sight.

His breathing begins to pick up pace, and he can feel the bile in his stomach rise up; he wants to vomit so badly but for some reason he can't. He can feel it there, sitting heavily in his throat, the rapid sound gunfire and clashing metal of whatever caused this like white noise to his ears. He sucks in a deep breath as he remembers.

His sister.

His leg is in bad shape; he can't help but be thankful that he didn't feel how bad the pain was until now, but he forces himself to get up. He needs to find his sister, no matter what. Maybe someone will notice the smoke and call the fire department or an ambulance for his parents? He hopes so. He's not strong enough to drag them both to safety, not with their bodies limp and crushed metal and fire in his way.

Blue eyes scan the area, avoiding the sight of his parents' bodies, and he soon sees a small red bundle lying not too far from the car. So he runs over, trying as hard as he can despite the fire and the burning fear in his heart, and grabs the little body. Thank goodness; it is his little sister. Her clothes are burnt badly, and she's bleeding from her head and back (at least from what he can tell? Maybe it's just her red clothes, he hopes..), but there's a soft breath left in her body.

He pulls her away from the car, grunting with every tug. It's not like his sister is heavy, but he's just so weak. The both of them had frail bodies, but it never mattered to his young self until now.

"Wake up!"

She stirs slightly, opening her eyes to look at him briefly before passing back out again. What does he do? Surely Mama would know what to do.. she's a doctor after all! But it's just him and his sister, his mother looks more and more like one of Papa's cooking projects.

"There's no other choice." A girl's voice, and he quickly turns his head towards it.

A metal body, and cold eyes.
She stares at him with those piercing blue eyes, he feels a chill just looking at how dead they are, and he's frozen in place. He can't escape, and all he can do is hold his sister closer to his body, shielding her from whatever this metallic beast was.
As she leans closer towards him with something in her hands, he blacks out with his eyes on her and the gigantic full moon.


December 4th, 1999.

"Those poor children.. Orphaned at only six!"

"The younger twin; the girl? She's got severe injuries.. They say it was a crash."

"Honestly. They had children in the car, shouldn't they have driven properly?"

He grinds his teeth just thinking about it. He's definitely starting to get what Mama meant by 'housewives and their meaningless chatter'. Hearing them gossip about what had happened a little less than two days ago makes his blood burn. He'd heard nothing but their useless bickering over what had happened on his way to his uncle's car.

He needs to distract himself.
Auntie had said the funeral needed to happen soon, but that nobody in the family had the money for it. Apparently sending people to heaven was expensive.. He didn't really get it himself, but apparently it was 'tradition'. He had thought of himself as a smart kid (his Mama liked to call him a 'smart cookie'!) but now he's beginning to realise just how much he doesn't know about the world.

Like how he didn't know about how second degree burns look weirdly snow white on his sister's already pale skin, or how it'll apparently take a month or two for his broken leg to heal. His uncle reckons he should've learned that second one playing with his friends, instead of in a devastating car crash that made their family from four to two.

"Big bro!"

He snaps out of it. Right.. he's forgotten he's at the hospital, in his sister's room, where she'll be 'recuperating' for her burns and head injuries. Apparently they weren't too bad, though the nurse lady had used the phrase 'could have been worse'. But, he's allowed to interpret that however he can! Apparently though, she should make a good recovery. That's all he wants to hear. It's a little slice of good news.

"What is it?" Curiosity paints his face, that tone she used was only reserved for when she'd been trying to catch his attention for ages.

"Auntie gave me a dress to wear to the funeral, but it's all black.." Another slice of good news was that she didn't seem to see anything like he did that night, but if she did, she's keeping quiet. "I don't really like wearing black.."

"I think Mama and Papa would like you to be more colourful."

"Yeah, but apparently that's not allowed!" She crosses her arms animatedly, only to flinch slightly. He winces; the burn went from her lower back to a little around the sides of her stomach. Moving in her usual over the top manner probably hurt.

"Then wear the dress to make Auntie happy, but we'll decorate your hair with a pretty ribbon."

She lights up.


December 6th, 1999.

Someone anonymously donated 'a ton' of money for the funeral. Grandma wonders if it had been the other driver in the crash, calling them 'cowardly' and saying they should've shown their face. She was a fiery old woman, one he couldn't see as being related to him, thanks to how passive he and his sister were. Maybe it came from Papa's side.

The wake had been the night before, and had been strange to say the least. They were given black and silver envelopes of money ("Condolence money." says Grandma, her hand tight around his sister's.) and after it had ended he and his sister had to hand out little gifts to the departing guests. They weren't much, apparently the gifts were only supposed to be half or a quarter of the money they'd received (it made no sense to him!), but his sister had insisted on handing over a pair of entwined red roses, saying that they were representing Mama and Papa's departure to heaven together.

Today was the proper funeral, and the procedure seems very similar to what had happened the day before. He stands there in silence, dressed in a black suit, while his sister beside him looks uncomfortable in her black dress. Auntie still seems a little angry that his sister adorned her hair with a big red bow.

The priest begins to chant his sutra, and the two twins walk hand in hand, ready to offer incense.

On that day, Arisato Minato came to terms with death.


I WASNT SURE HOW TO END IT!
