The clouded night sky rumbled dangerously as the sky threaten to rain. There has been a storm watch for several days but rain had yet to be seen. The only storm conditions to be witnessed were the rolling clouds, strong winds, and the clap of thunder every so often.

"Taito STOP!"

Kikaito screamed as he ran outside. However as he exited the front doors of the mansion, he immediately blinked at the empty yard. Kaito and Taito were gone... How could they have run so fast? Even for synthetic beings such of themselves, how could they have run THAT fast?

"Oh God! Kaito! RUN!" Akaito bellowed out into the late night as he scrambled out onto the front yard next to Kikaito. Like Kikaito before him, Akaito scanned the front yard looking for his two brothers who weren't there.

Akaito felt terrible. He could probably peg this moment as the worst he had felt in his entire life. He would take Taito stabbing him in the chest over this feeling any day.

This had been his fault. His stupid paranoia over Taito had caused this. If he hadn't been such a baby over the whole affair, Kaito would have never gotten worried about him and then Taito would have never witnessed that scene...

Akaito grabbed his head and bit his lip. If Taito killed Kaito, it was HIS fault. He couldn't bear that thought. Not his twin brother!

"TAITO! KAITO!" The Master screamed as she joined the red and yellow Shions out into the front yard.

"What's going on? Why did this happened?!" The Master asked fearfully turning to Kikaito. Kikaito gave her an equally confused and worried look in return.

"I don't know! But they're not here anymore!" was all Kikaito could reply.

"Not again..." Akaito whispered under his breath, which caught the Master's attention, "This is my fault..."

The Master blinked.

"Your fault?" She asked, "I don't understand! What's happening again? Has this happened before?"

Akaito could help but let his jaw drop at his Master's question. She didn't know? How could she have not known about Taito and his violent tendencies? She made him! She had to have known!

"Master! What do we do?!" Kikaito interrupted, snapping the Master's attention away from Akaito. She had to act fast. She didn't fully understand what was going on yet, but she knew if she didn't make a move now, things could get bad. Now was a time to get serious and take action.

"Kikaito! Akaito!" she snapped seriously making both of the Shions stiffen up and stand at attention, "They can't have gotten far. If you take to the roofs, I'm sure you'll find them. Track them down and report when you find them!"

"RIGHT!" They both said in unison before their inhuman strength had them bound off the porch and out of sight.

"Kiaito," The Master said turning to the gray Shion who squeaked in fear at the sound of his name.

"Y-y-y-yes?"

"Contact Isamine. He has lots of connections around the city. I'm sure he'll be able to help us out. Once you've reached him, go meet him and tell him what happened,"

"O-o-okay!"

"Zeito!" Master said turning around. She blinked when she realized Zeito was no longer behind her. Where had he gone? He had just been behind her. Now was NOT the correct time for one of his disappearance acts! She NEEDED him!

"M-Master! What can I do?" A small hand tugged at her shirt. Master turned around to see little Nigaito looking up at her worriedly.

"Oh...um...Nigaito honey. You can stay here and guard the house!" The Master smiled reassuringly.

"Huh? But I want to help!" Nigaito piped up loudly. This made the Master go down onto one knee gently so she could look Nigaito in the eyes.

"That WOULD be helping, Nigaito dearest. There's a chance that Kaito and Taito might come home while we're gone, and I'm sure those two would really appreciate some of your delicious tea! You should stay here and make some while you wait for them!"

This made Nigaito's eyes tear up. He knew better than anyone that no one liked his tea. The Master just didn't want him to burden the rest of them.

"But-! But-! But-!"

Nigaito received a pat on the head before the Master stood up again.

"The rest of you, you're with me! Let's go!" The Master said before running off into the night with a small band of Shions on her heels leaving Nigaito behind.

Nigaito's tears fell freely from his eyes as he cried; feeling like the most useless Shion in the entire family.
