Hi! This is Senketsu, and this is my second attempt at my first story. I hope it will have noticeably improved.
Please enjoy the story!

An eighteen-year-old boy was seated in front of a computer, with his twin sister standing behind him.
His sister was tapping her foot impatiently, and her face was showing clear annoyance.
After a few minutes of silence, she couldn't take it anymore, and grabbed her hair in frustration, "Argh! Iharu, have you found it yet? Why is it taking so long? I swear, it's been over a century! After this, remind me to buy a new computer!"
Iharu sighed, "Just wait, alright? It'll come through." Then his eyes lit up, "Wait! I see it! Let's see… What the hell?" His jaws dropped and he gaped at the computer screen. Without turning around, he spoke, "Inatsu, you won't believe this."
Inatsu frowned, anger subsiding, "What is it? Is it that bad?"
He shook head, "No, actually, quite the contrary. We got into…Tokyo University."
At first, there was no reaction from his older sister, but after a while, a loud shriek left her mouth, "NO WAY!"
He grinned, "Yes way, sis. We got into Todai."
With an ear-splitting smile, Inatsu grabbed her brother's wrist and pulled him outside to the car. Once inside, Iharu gave her a confused look, "Where're we going?" She grinned wider, "We, my dear little brother, are going to celebrate!" "So what do you have in mind?" "Oh, nothing much; just a big, fancy dinner that costs a fortune…"
En route, it started raining, more like pouring. The roads were hard to see through the rain, but nothing could ruin the joyful mood in the car; except when the engine suddenly died while they were crossing an intersection.
"Damn it!" Inatsu cursed loudly as the car stopped in the middle of an intersection. Everything lighted up again when she tried to start the engine, but it went out in a matter of seconds. She cursed again and took out her cell phone, intending on getting some help. She flipped it open, and gave a yell, "What? No power?" She turned to Iharu, "Hey, you have your cell?" He shook his head, "Didn't bring it with me."
Inatsu was about to try the engine again when Iharu interrupted her, "Um, sis? There's a truck heading towards us, and I don't see it slowing down." She turned, and the stared into the headlights of a big truck, she froze, then she screamed, "OH MY GOD! GET OUTTA THE CAR!" But it was already too late.
When the two vehicles collided, she felt instant pain at first, but then there was nothing…
An explosion lit up the night sky, and then it faded into a small fire.

Okay, I know, it's short. Please forgive me, but I don't have that much time!
But… if you review, I promise I'll try a little faster and write a little longer! So review, alright?
I hope you enjoyed the story and have a nice day!
