Chapter 1

"Hikaru…" Kaoru whispered. They were all alone at home, and there was something that the younger twin had to say.

"Yeah?" Hikaru whispered back, placing his arm around the younger's waist.

"It's nearly our sixteenth birthday."

"Yeah, so?"

"We haven't done that thing since we were fourteen… maybe even younger…" Hikaru frowned, looking at his little brother.

"'That' thing that thing? Kaoru… even if it was fun, we stopped because the people around us started catching on—"

"I know that! But…" he teared up a little bit. "As of late, for some strange reason, it's all I can think about."

"Kaoru…" Hikaru smiled sadly, leaning against him and closing the space between them completely, their legs touching as they sat on the edge of the bed together. "You probably remember more than I do when it all started, right? The fact that we played this game, also…"

"As if I could ever forget. It's so addicting… I can't believe we ended up liking it so much…" Kaoru smiled sadly as well. "But…" he frowned, looking at his lap. "You're right. Every year when our birthday came around since we were five, we would take one person and play the game. We did it for eight years, since when we were five, it was an accident…"

"Yeah… kids wouldn't do that on purpose… even if we've always been twisted."

"I want to." Kaoru whispered.

"Kaoru?" Hikaru looked at him, waiting for his response.

"I want to, though!" he said louder. "For our birthday, it's what I want! I want to take somebody and play the game, again!" he stood up, looking at his brother very seriously. The older twin was silent for a moment before he replied.

"Who will we choose?" he asked, not being able to deny that he too wanted to play the game again.

"Ayanokoji. Nobody will miss her when she's gone."

They started to make their plans.
