That picture. It looks like me. Please believe me, however, when I say that the person in that picture ISN'T me. Before I forget, my name is Kaoru, Kaoru Hitachiin. That picture is making me crazy, that is, if I'm not already. You see, sometimes, just sometimes, it'll move, and once I think I heard it talk. It said "Have you ever seen our birth certificates?" Just what did he, I mean it, mean by OUR? It's a picture, it doesn't have a birth certificate. Does it? AHH, no no no, I'm not going to start thinking that!
I'm sitting on my bed, wondering if I'm losing my mind. From the corner of my eye I see that picture move again. It's constantly blinking, really! I swear! It moves again and I snap.
"Will you quit it!"
"Hmmm, quit what?"
"Quit moving. Pictures don't move!" Shit, did… did it just talk, and did I just talk BACK!
"Sorry. I'm not sure what it is though. I can't hold still. In fact… Why don't you try it?"
"Shut UP! Pictures don't talk ether. Ever." I was staring at that picture, and it was staring back.
"Well I'm talking, right? Never say never Kaoru."
"Fine… Now what?" The picture paused to think, resting his chin in his hand, which before wasn't showing (The picture was taken from the shoulders up).
"Well, for starters, my name is Hikaru. Also, I'm not you, I don't know who I am. Just that I look exactly like you." This seemed to trouble him.
"You're Hikaru Hitachiin. I'm just guessing the last name, but, other then that, you know exactly who you are. After all you just said so, yourself.""Huh, guess you're right.""So anyway, what was it you were saying about birth certificates earlier?"
"Oh, that… not sure. Just felt like saying it." Hikaru didn't seem to care about the odd comment, shrugging off any concern he had when he finished his 'explanation'. I sighed, I was talking to the picture, whose name was Hikaru apparently. Curiosity got the better of me and I got up and headed for the document room. I figured if bills and copies of hospital records were kept in there, my birth certificate would be in there too.

About an hour had past till I finally found it. I looked over everything. First Name: Kaoru. Last Name: Hitachiin. Sex: Male. This Birth: Twin was checked. If twin of triplet: First was checked. Twin, but… I looked and there was another birth certificate, the name on it; Hikaru Hitachiin. I felt nothing short of sick, how in the hell did I know NOTHING about this! Before today that is, and another thing… what happened to him? I didn't have to wait long, I looked down at the documents again and a death certificate met my view. I picked it up, afraid to what I'd find. Full Name: Hikaru Hikachiin, then I looked at the age, seven years. Seven! How did I not remember him! Finally, cause of death; Unknown. So… he just died? My stomach was incredibly sick and I felt weak in the knees, surely there was some sort of medical records. I dug past my own (The files weren't in alphabetical order oddly enough, were they hiding all this from me?) and found his. He started out alright, we were both very healthy at first, but as the years went by, while he didn't lose energy, his health went to the dogs. He died very sick, but with what, the doctors weren't sure. Was that why my, our, parents were so careful about my constant check-ups? I sat on the floor feeling numb. Why hadn't anyone told me about this, why didn't Hikaru, the picture Hikaru, remember any of this? Was he just a dream, something made up by the side of me that did remember my brother? I ran to my room, not bothering to put away any of the documents I'd dug out. I looked at the picture, to my relief he looked back.
"Hikaru, were you ever alive, I mean do you remember ever being alive?"
"Remember? Were you looking at birth certificates?"
"Yeah... and some other things. Your name was there, Hikaru Hitachiin. It's crazy!" I still felt ill. The Hikaru in the picture of me closed his eyes, thinking.
"Yeah… vaguely." He didn't open his eyes.
"Hold on, I've got to ask m- our parents about this." I left for m- our parents quarters, getting the birth certificates, and the death certificate, first. As I walked I wondered, was Hikaru trapped in that picture, was he haunting me for forgetting. But if the former, wouldn't he remember being alive?
