"Young men will do't, if they come to't;
By cock, they are to blame."
-Ophelia, Hamlet;
Act IV, Scene V


Folding her junior high school uniform and putting it into one of the drawers of her dresser felt nostalgic, but Kagome smiled as she looked at the uniform of the school that she and her brother were going to be attending on scholarship. Although, she was reminded of an ice cream shoppe uniform with the colours..

Almost.

"Kagome!"

The tanzanite-eyed female gave a short scream as Kazuo burst into her room without knocking, already clad in his own uniform for the new school. Kagome flushed as she scrambled to cover her scantily clad body from her brother, but only managed to do so with her arms, "What are you doing?"

Kazuo blinked as he looked at his sister, tilting his head slightly before he gave a small laugh, "That's all you're concerned with?"

The female stuck her tongue out at the older of her two brothers, "Yes, now why are you invading my room?"

The other tanzanite-eyed teen fully entered the room, closing the door behind him as he took his sister into his arms, nuzzling her cheek with a coy grin, "Can't I come see my dear and darling twin sister?"

The shrine maiden rolled her eyes at his question, "You see me everyday, idiot."

"Oh, I know," he replied, not once releasing her, "but how often do I get to see this much of you?"

The blush on her cheekbones that had started to fade flared back to life at the suggestiveness, "I-idiot! What really brought you up here!"

Kazuo pouted as he leaned back to look his sister in the eye, "Mother wanted to know if you finished packing yet, and that dinner is almost done."

Kagome gave him a sour look, "It's probably been done with all your fooling around, and yes, I'm done packing. I was just about to try on my uniform."

The male teen let his gaze travel to the innocent clothing lying on the bed, "Are you sure that's not a uniform for the local ice cream shoppe?"

Her cheeks puffed out as she pouted at her brother, "That's what I thought when I got a good look at it.."

Her brother released her as he moved to pick up the blazer, holding it in front of his torso as he turned to show Kagome, "How's this look?"

"Stunning."

"Really?" Just the fact that he believed her deadpanned reply had the muscles of her lower eyelid twitching, before she moved her arms to cross over her chest, slowly overcoming her earlier embarrassment. Kagome shook her head at Kazuo, "You're a piece of work, you know that?"

Kazuo ignored the blazer, thoughtlessly tossing it in the direction of the bed next to him, "Does that mean you're going to sell me to someone for money?"

"Idiot.."

Ignoring her staring relative, Kagome picked up the white shirt and skirt, slipping them on before buttoning the shirt up to properly tuck into her skirt. She looked at the blazer and tie, deciding against putting them on. Making her way to the door to her room, she looked over at her brother who picked up her tie to start playing with it, "Are you coming or what? Mother did say that she was almost done with dinner, no?"

"All right, all right," Kazuo consented, her tie around his shoulders, "I'm coming."

:-:

Kagome stared hard at her ceiling, not feeling an ounce tired; however, even if she wanted to sleep, the obnoxious older brother clinging to her as he lightly snored into her shoulder would most likely have kept her awake. Her stare melded into a glare, as if place all of the blame onto the poor structure, "Idiot.."

Turning to level her glare onto the crown of her brother's head, she could feel him shiver in his sleep, and a small smile of temporary fluttered onto her mouth before it was wiped off as Kazuo trapped her legs between his, and tightly wound his fingers into her thick mane of hair.

'Why you—!'

Perhaps castration would be a befitting punishment..


Kazuo stared at his sister as she dozed in the back seat of the car that was only used for long trips, or should the weather be bad enough that walking on foot wasn't a possibility. Their mother sat behind the wheel, eyes straight ahead, but that didn't hinder her from making small talk with her conscious child, "Do you know any reason why Kagome might be tired enough that she's asleep? I did tell the two of you to go to bed early so that you'd both be able to leave and get settled in the day before classes start, didn't I?"

The son looked to the side of his mother's face, "You did. Maybe Kagome was just to anxious to sleep?"

The mother of three hummed to herself, "Even so, she wouldn't have passed out before the car was even started, Kazuo."

The tanzanite-eyed teen scratched his cheek with a finger, "I have no clue, mom."

"Huh. All right.."

The tone of her voice told him that she didn't particularly believe him, but would let it drop for now as the two of remained awake, while awaiting for the time to pass fast enough for the two of them to be dropped off at True Cross Academy. Five while minutes on the dot passed before the matriarch spoke up again, "I know this is a bit late to be asked, but just why did the two of you decide to become exorcists?"

Kazuo looked away from the western vehicle driving right along side them, flag by the side mirror flapping in the wind madly, "A whimsical decision. We don't have any solid reasoning behind it, sorry."

"What about your tuition?"

"Kagome and I managed to scrape by and have been given scholarships to attend."

"That's good," his mother admitted, giving a soft smile, "but you two have to make sure to take care of yourselves while you're here, understood?"

"Yes ma'am."

The woman looked at him for the brief moment from the corner of her eye, "Make sure to pass it onto Kagome when she wakes up, all right?"

"I will."

Kazuo tuned out the world, elbow propped up on the handle on the inside of the car door, intently staring at the car next to them.

:~:

"You're no fun!"

Kazuo stuck his tongue out at his sister, only to be gifted with a stinging kick to his shin, leaving him hopping on one foot while he held the abused calf in both hands. In turn, Kagome stuck her tongue out at him, taking back her stuffed doll from before leaving him there to continue playing by herself.

"That hurt.." Unwillingly tears burned that back of his eyes, as what always happened when the two had a spat that separated them for a short while before they would make up. Letting go of his leg, the boy sat down where he stood, glaring at the ground, bitterness souring the taste in his mouth as the cooling wind made him shiver.

The child itched around the edges of the scrape he got earlier that day.

Kazuo's glare lessened as confusion overtook childish anger, little shadows fluttering in and out of his line of vision. Finding the shadows remotely interesting, the boy continued staring at the ground, watching the various sizes coming and going.

Glancing up, he gave an unboyish scream, falling backwards onto his back, hastily crawling away from the floating black balls with small tails.

Kagome come up to her brother, staring at the little black things with her brow furrowed, blowing at one to make it leave her alone.

"What are they?"

"I don't know.."

:~:

"Aren't we deep in thought.."

Kazuo blinked, taking his head out of his palm to look back at his bedraggled twin, who was entranced by the lightened sky that had been dark before she fell asleep, "So what if I was?"

She looked over at him, "You might break your brain if you think too much."

"Oh really?"

Kagome shrugged, "Either that, or you might get lost."

The male twin gave a snort through his nose, "As if."

His cheeks coloured at the snicker that sounded from the back seat, "Shut up.."

Ignoring him, the female exorcist-to-be turned to their mother, "The sun was just starting to rise when we left right?"

"Mhm."

"How much longer do you think it'll be before we arrive at True Cross Academy?"

"It shouldn't be that much longer you two."

"Yay~" Both twin chorused in monotone.

Their mother gave a small laugh, "Oh, the house is going to be quiet with the two of you living on campus. Be sure to write when you're able to, all right? Oh! Call tonight when both of the two of you get settled in properly, will you?"

"Yes ma'am."


"... there's rue
for you; and here's some for me: we may call it
herb-grace o' Sundays: O you must wear your rue with
a difference."
-Ophelia, Hamlet;
Act IV, Scene V


Now, if any of you know just what rue is, besides a plant, congrats, but for those of you that don't; it's a very bitter plant often used for abortions back in the day. Or, that's what I've read when brushing up on the significance of Ophelia giving the plant to Gertrude. As for having Kazuo in this.. honestly, I couldn't decide if I wanted yaoi, or not. There still might be some, who knows.
