Hey! Alright so this is just a story I thought of including two of my characters from a book series of mine but I love the two of them together so I thought I might do a little side series on here because I love them so much. THERE IS YAOI, meaning BOYXBOY, IN HERE SO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN DON'T READ IT! anyway I hope you enjoy it and I apologize that the first chapter may seem a little confusing but I did that purposefully because Hikaru goes from thinking of one thing to a completely different thing, though related, every now and then. Please Review to let me know what you all think ^-^

Chapter One

Bitter winds battered at my coat making it whip about my small, slender form as I made my way towards my apartment. The day had been just as bitter and unforgiving as the night but still I could not rid myself of the horrible feeling of being watched. Had it been thousands of years ago I would have ran to my house in fear of such feelings but these were modern times and I couldn't risk looking like I was crazy. It was bad enough that my twin sister was furious with me for moving out on my own but then again my twin sister was extremely over protective of me. No one can blame her because of what happened when we were younger, she just doesn't want me to get hurt yet she could careless for our older brother Akira. Much to my relief I made it to the front of the apartment complex and shifted through my pockets to find my keys.

Once I dug them out of my jeans I opened the door and entered the darkness waiting for me within the apartment. I cautiously close the door leaving me to scrounge around in complete darkness to find the light switch. Lately I have been more spaced out and less focused on the work I need to do in order to pay for this apartment. However I have also been getting strange feelings lately as well like the feeling of someone watching me or someone following me. Although I guess that is expected because I look like my twin sister the only difference between us is the fact I'm a guy and she's, well, a girl! A very violent, unforgiving, merciless, cold and somewhat heartless girl that laughs when someone is bleeding death. Don't get me wrong I love my sister but we are complete opposites I'm nice and loveable and she is cold and scary. It's no wonder none of our kind want to mess with her and the fact she tries to kill anyone that gets close to me is even more of an incentive to stay away from both of us.

Something shifted in the darkness of the kitchen as I flipped the switch for the living room startling me. I soon relaxed when I noticed a familiar gray, white and orange cat poke her head out from around the corner. It was only Bastet, named because of her mischievous personality but also because she seemed like a goddess to me when I got her, going about her usual routine of scaring me half to death.

"Are you hungry Bastet?" I asked her smiling as I bent down and picked her up.

She was purring in reply meaning she was happy but she was hungry, she was unusual as far as eating habits went. She only ate curing certain times like dawn, noon or when the sun was directly over head in the sky, sunset and on nights of the full moon she'll wake me to eat at exactly midnight. She is a very precise cat and very smart at that she knows what she wants and she won't stop until she has it. I set her down on the tiled floor as I pulled out a small can of wet cat food, opened it and put it in her silvery cat dish along with a few shreds of chicken, after finding it at the back of the fridge of course. She purred in approval and ate silently while I made my dinner, not long after both of us were full I sat on the couch and turned on the television. Of course since its Wednesday there really isn't anything on so I switched it to the news hoping that something interesting would turn up but no luck so I switched to playing on my laptop while Bastet quietly slept beside me. I opened my email to find at least ten messages from my sister all of them complaining about me not replying to her so I replied to one of them telling her I was fine and that everything was alright leaving it at that. I went on to see I only had one other message from my father which surprised me because he never emails any of us because he trusts us but he calls to check in from time to time to see how we are doing but never email. Some people think that he doesn't know how to use the internet because of it but that is completely not true he just rather talk to us over the phone.

I opened the email curious as to what I would find since there was no subject in the header, the email said:

'Dear Hikaru,

How are you? I know this is unusual since I never email any of you but I'm afraid to call you to let you know what is happening. Though it isn't on the news there is an assassin in your area so please be careful, he's after your sister but since the two of you look too much alike especially at a far I believe he was fed the wrong information and was told that Ryo was in your city. Both of us know that isn't the case, I haven't told your sister and I advise you to hide it from her at all costs. Call me to talk to me about it because your sister has been checking my email lately because she feels something is amiss. I will delete this from my sent box after I send it to you of course, please delete it from your inbox and do not reply.

Love,

Father'

I nearly stopped breathing after I read it over and over again hoping I missed something or read it wrong but I didn't. I quickly closed and deleted the email before closing my laptop and sitting there in complete shock. Who ever heard of identical fraternal twins anyway? Certainly not the humans only us because of what we are. There are times I hate to be my sister's twin brother and this is definitely one of those times.
