Author's Notes: This fic was created out of boredom on a lazy Saturday… oh, b-but, I was inspired at the time too, ya know! So, while I was reading volume 11 of the FY manga (you know when Amiboshi asks Suboshi to live with him but Suboshi refused?) I just felt sorta sad for the twins that they had such a bad ending and at the very end, they couldn't be with each other; well, actually all of the Seiryuu Seven had tragic endings! But the twins… are different. So here's my rendition of what could have happened if Suboshi did accept Amiboshi's offer to live with him… would the twins finally have the oh-so peaceful life they longed for? Read and Review please! ^^;

Where we left off at episode 40…

o - "A Memory in Time" by 'loveREMIX- - o

Chapter one: "Forget"

"Here, drink this…" Amiboshi instructed weakly, handing a small cup covered in cloth to his twin brother. "It's a potion called the 'Forgetfulness Leaves'. If we both drink it, we can be able to forget everything that had happened to us…"

Suboshi blinked. "Forget?" He repeated.

Amiboshi nodded. "We must forget that we ere ever Seiryuu Celestial Warriors… we can forget all the memories we had up till now and make new, better ones. He continued, "we can live peacefully in here Makan village with foster parents… we can be together again, just like before."

Suboshi was speechless. Hadn't he been waiting forever for this? Ever since he thought that Amiboshi had died, he had given up a dream to live peacefully without ever having to fight, and even considered it an impossible wish to be achieved. But here was fate on his side, giving him this chance to grant that dream! To grant that so-called impossible wish! Normally, he'd do anything to be with his older brother. If such a chance was given to him before, he would probably drink the Forgetfulness Leaves potion without hesitating. But here he was, very hesitant to drink the potion, still undecided on what to do.

He clenched his fists. 'Lady Yui!' He yelled out to his Priestess deep in his thoughts. If he drank the potion, he'll forget about everything. Even forget Yui, the girl whom he loves so much and holds a special place in his heart. He loves Yui, ever since she had comforted him during his darkest times, but he wants to be with his brother too. Why was he always stuck in the middle?

But even though he loved Yui… she never wanted to be with him. It was Suboshi who always made the effort of being her friend.

*Flashback*

Suboshi stood outside the door of Yui's room, which was located deep in the heart of Kutou's palace. He knocked several times and stopped when he heard Yui shout out coldly, "Leave me alone!"

"Lady Yui, you should come out of there…" He reasoned. "It's not healthy for you to keep isolating yourself inside your room."

Yui opened the door slowly and glared at Suboshi. "You are my warrior, right?"

Suboshi nodded, though was quite stunned with the sudden question.

"And I am your Priestess, am I right?"

Suboshi nodded again.

Yui smirked. "Well, that puts me in a higher position that you'll ever be. So, since I'm the boss, and you're just my filthy servant, STOP BOSSING ME AROUND!" With that, she slammed the door right at his face.

*End of Flashback*

Yui… just didn't need him. No matter how hard he tried, he was always rejected by the girl, either violently or silently.

"*Shunkaku, what's wrong?" Inquired Amiboshi, seeing his little brother hesitantly deep in thoughts.

"I-I've made up my mind." Suboshi declared. With warm tears slowly forming from his midnight-blue eyes, and trickling down his cheeks, he gently grabbed the Forgetfulness Leaves potion and took a light sip.

He slowly felt the world turn black and what was left was an image of Yui smiling in his mind. Everything seemed to be drifting away…

"I'm sorry, Lady Yui…" He whispered softly. "I love you… but you don't need me to be by your side. Please be happy without me…" He fell to the ground, bidding his Priestess farewell. "Forgive me…"

It wasn't because he wanted to leave Yui's side; if he could, he would never do so… but, he also didn't want to leave his brother. After they were separated for what felt like eternity, he just couldn't bring himself to abandom him!! So he made his decision – to forget.

The night was silent and clear. Nothing could be heard but the chilling course of the wind, or the distant cry of a nearby wolf. During the changing of the weather, fireflies usually populate the mountaneous areas at night… especially in the neighboring villages near the borders of Sairou.

Enter Makan Village…

A very peaceful village located in the borders of the Sairou Empire. This once peaceful village has been raided by the Kutou armies not too long ago. A lot of villagers were injured by the surprise attack, some had even lost their lives! And some, were drowning in grief and fear.

Shouko and Sorata were one of those many people.

Shouko and Sorata is an old couple who live in a small cottage home with their foster son Kaika in Makan Village. Now, their home has been destroyed and Kaika has gone off somewhere to some place, and thinking about it just made the old couple worry and worry.

"What if Kaika was badly injured? What if he's lost somewhere and can't find his way home? Or wven worse… what if-" Shouko buried her face in her hands and sobbed uncontrollably, deciding not to say anymore.

Sorata placed a hand on his wife's shoulder. "It'll be alright." He said. "Kaika's a strong boy. He'll managa somehow." Before Shoujo could give a reply, the door bust open, and Houjun, their neighbor and very good friend, barged in.

"Shouko! Sorata!" Houjun cried out. "Come quickly and take a look outside!!"

Shouko and Sorata exchanged looks. They were a bit confused with all the commotion, but followed their friend anyways.

"Look… over there." Houjun pointed towards two figures lying unconscious near the village's lake. It was dark, but the fireflies that were all around them illuminated it. "Go closer and see what you find." Houjin instructed.

The couple did what they were told and upon seeing the twin brothers, lying unconscious and covered in blood, their hearts froze.

They can tell that one of the two was Kaika – the wristband Shouko had knitted for him signified it to be. But then… who was the other one?

"Twin brothers?" Whispered Sorata with a voice so hoarse you wouldn't really understand.

"Kaika has a twin brother?"

Shouko gasped.

* Shunkaku: Suboshi's real name.
