Kai and Nya walked through the dark realms of what was once a happy place.
Their parent's bedroom.
Nya shivered, but Kai grabbed her shaky hand.
"Come on, sis. Be brave. We have to do this. For Mom and Dad."
"I know, Kai." She took a deep breath, and together, they swung open the door that had been closed for so many years.

Everything was exactly where it had been on that fateful day.
The dark, once bright red sheets were tossed aside, this way and that, and the blood red pillows were no longer fluffy and flat. A wooden dresser stood on one side, one of the drawers open, and overflowing with clothes. A desk resided on the other side of the room, with papers and journals scattered everywhere. The blinds were shut and the room was dusty.
The siblings felt that they were not alone.
"Okay, sis let's get to work."
So Kai and Nya set to work, cleaning the sheets, then making the bed, dusting the dresser and straightening up the desk, placing the papers and journals in folders back where they belonged in the drawers. Kai took out all of the clothes in the dresser, washed them, dusted everything, then neatly re-folded the clothes and put them back inside.
Then, almost everything was cleaned-
-except for the photo of the family before all of the bad things happened.
There was Caroline, with her long, brown hair, her beautiful smile and her warm brown eyes. Next to her was Hiromasa, a tall, muscular man with jet black hair and shining hazel eyes. He was holding little Nya, who was about four years old at the time. He had slung her over her shoulders. Little Nya was wearing a bright blue denim dress with cute little red leggings. She had a little blue and red polka dot bow in her hair. Kai was with his mom, his brown hair spikier than ever with his eyes burning that hot brown color. He was wearing a red t-shirt with a dragon on it, along with jeans. He was about 6-7 at the time.
Kai sighed.
"I remember that day," he said.
Nya smiled sadly.
"So do I." She wiped a tear from her eye.
And then, Kai spotted something under the bed. It was shiny, and red.
"What's this?" He asked, forgetting the picture and bending down towards the object.
It was a present. The tag said:
To Our Little Kai for your 16th Birthday.
Kai looked deeper under the bed and found another one that was wrapped in shiny blue paper, that read:
For our little Nya on your 16th Birthday.
Kai handed Nya hers.
They looked at each other. They were both past 16.
"Let's open it," Nya said.
"Agreed."
BOOM! Another short story coming at ya.
This'll be about 2-4 Chapters long, I'm guessing.
