H: We're back again!

R: What do you mean again? This is the third time today we've worked on this story.

J: We have no life other than on this.

Kid: Very true.

Elliot: So what happens in this chapter? Something to do with Forbesii's parents, right?

J: We're not telling you.

Stein: Tell us dammit! *everyone looks at him in surprise* Um…thank you all the reviewers.

R: Yeah…

H: Stein's getting enthusiastic…

J: Uh…we own nothing!

Elliot stared at his roommate through the glass. He couldn't help but feel giddy about how clean the place was, although it was horribly unorganized. Even though it was clean he still wore the plastic gloves. Just in case. "I never realized how pale his skin and hair were." Charlie said sadly next to him. He turned to her and then looked at the boy in the room in front of him.

"Neither did I." Elliot said. It was true. Forbesii looked like a ghost in the white hospital robe. The white make his skin even more pale, and is his gray hair look white. They heard Forbesii whimper and little and groan in pain.

"What are they doing to him!" Charlie cried. Elliot looked sadly at her. He could see the tears running down her face and noticed the red ribbon that she normally had tied in her now hardly brushed mid neck length brown hair was missing. She had been in that much of a hurry to get there.

Kid walked up onto the other side of Elliot. "I was going to ask father what was wrong, but he ushered me out when he heard two people come in. I wonder who they were." He said.

"Kid, please do me a favor and put some plastic gloves. No one needs germs spread around right now." Elliot said, his voice flat. Kid gave him a confused but understanding look. Who knew what was on their hands. On touch on anything could in fact go straight to Forbesii. "I wonder if Lord Death is talking to someone useful. The medical team did tell us they contacted his parents."

In Death's office…

Two tall figures stood in front of Lord Death. One was a tall man with long black hair, red eyes, pale skin, sharp fangs, and pointed ears. The other was a tall woman with long white hair, red eyes, pale skin, and sharp fangs. Both were dressed in black and red garments, with black and red crowns on their head. It was Diospyros and Salvia. They stared at each other for a moment before finally Salvia spoke. "Hello, brother." She said.

"Hello my adorable baby sister." Death cooed. The girl growled a little. "How wonderful for you to stop in. What's the occasion?" He was trying to act as innocent as possible. Seeing as how pissed of his brother-in-law looked, he wasn't do a very good job.

"The occasion is our son's sudden illness." The other male growled, obviously trying not to loose his temper with the loony Death God.

"You mean my wonderful nephew Forbesii?" Death asked. He knew Forbesii was horribly ill. Perhaps his sister and her husband knew what was wrong.

"Yes. I do mean Forbesii. He's horribly sick." The other male said, still managing to be calm.

Death suddenly turned serious. "Yes. Yes he is. Do either of you know what's going on?" He asked. He wanted to know just as much as everyone else did.

"Tell us what the witnesses told you." Salvia demanded.

"He would seem be in pain whenever my son Kid and Elliot, and I know you too remember who he is, would touch him. They found him the bathroom. Apparently he had continuously thrown up half digested food and blood and then collapsed after coughing up more blood. They found him on the floor and he fell unconscious a few moments after wards." Death explained to his other family. He almost missed Salvia's eyes widen. "He's been out for two days."

Diospyros walked up to his in-law. "Death, don't play games with me. If he really is in this state, than take me too him." He growled. Death hurriedly nodded.

"Of course, king of demons." He said.

"Brother." Salvia said. Death looked back at his younger sister, the queen of demons. "You realize to fix this you're going to have to tell them."

Death looked down. "Yes. I do." He said and led them to the medical lab that held his nephew.

Kid, Elliot, and Charlie looked at Lord Death and the two people that followed him. "They have Forbe's ears." Charlie whispered. They were shot a look by the male which told them to shut up. Suddenly Kid's eyes widened.

"I can't believe I didn't place it earlier." He said in shock that he didn't figure it out sooner. Elliot and Charlie gave him confused looks. "Those are the king and queen of demons. Seeing as how they're here, they must be Forbe's parents."

Charlie gave him an even more confused look. "Wait, are you saying Forbe is the bloody prince of demons? Or are you just saying that because you're so in love with royalty that you need to say that just so you can crack a fat over him." Okay, that last part sounded threatening.

"Charlie, I don't think he's lying." Elliot reassured her. "They have his ears and his eyes, they look a lot like him. They even have fangs." Charlie looked at him and nodded. They all turned back towards the window. The demons and Death were discussing something. The demons must have been trying to convince Death to do something, and they must have won because Death nodded. He then stepped out the door.

"Why are the king and queen here, father?" Kid asked his father. Death sighed.

"Kiddo, Elliot, I have a story to tell you. Charlie, can you give us a moment?" Death asked the girl in front of him. Charlie nodded and ran off in the direction of her own apartment. The boys watched her leave and then turned to toward the death god. Death was surprised how in sync they were. They had only known each other for a few days, but it was like they had been together for years. It was like they were one person.

With that thought, he started the story he promised. "Once upon a time, there was a pair of twins who were the sons of a god. He loved them very much, but their mother decided they needed to split the twins up. She took the younger when they were one and took him to live with her in Australia and the father kept the elder as his heir. Four years later the mother died and the younger went missing. No one knows what happened to him during that time, but it must have been horrible. Five years later the younger comes to a mad scientist and lives with him and does his cooking and errands. Then five years after that, they meet at a place called Death Weapon Meister Academy."

Kid's and Elliot's eyes both filled with realization. "F-father. Are you saying…?" Kid looked over at Elliot, who looked at him. Elliot then turned serious and looked up at his now pronounced father.

"Lord Death, am I really Kid's younger twin?" He asked. Death nodded.

"And the king and queen of demons are your aunt and uncle. That means you're cousins with Forbesii." Death said. Kid and Elliot just stared at him. It was taking a while for them both to comprehend what was going on. "The main reason I told you this is because-."

"Dad." Elliot said. Both Kid and Death looked at him in surprise. "You'd told us this because we deserve to know. I've spent my whole life knowing I'm missing something. That these stripes had to connect somewhere. Went I met Kid, it was suddenly as if I had known him my whole life. We deserve to know, but it's not entirely important right now." That earned him another surprised look. "My roommate, my friend, is in danger of dying right now and I want to be able to help him out in anyway I can."

"Well Elliot, knowing that you have a twin is how you can help him." Death said encouragingly. The twins gave him identical confused looks. "You have to link your psychic connection to go get him. You have to link your stripes."

"Go get Forbe from where?" Kid asked.

"When you two were around each other, your souls were going out of control. They recognized each other, but you didn't so the conflict was sending out powerful spiritual vibrations. Threatening ones, angry even. And since he's a demon, Forbesii is already vulnerable to the energy. But he recognizes this energy from part of his past that he doesn't want to remember." Death explained. The boys cocked their heads. "What he's suffering isn't an illness. Forbesii's mind has gone into such a deep melt down to protect itself that his body suffered. To this extent, we need to get him out or he'll die. And if he doesn't die he's going to be a vegetable for the rest of his life. Both a horrible scenarios for him, you, and the whole of the demon world."

Kid and Elliot nodded and allowed themselves to be strapped to the table. Kid noticed that his now proclaimed younger twin began to panic a little, so he offered a hand that was gladly accepted. He didn't exactly know why the younger was panicking, but he didn't care. "Hey, it'll be okay." He comforted, giving a small smile. He couldn't help but wish that Soul was there.

Elliot smiled back. "I know." They both closed their eyes and waited for the voice of the head of the lab to sound.

"Okay, throw the switch!"

H: Ha ha I bet no one saw Forbesii becoming a demon prince.

R: I saw it.

J: Same here.

H: But you're on the writing team. Stein, make more ramen.

Stein: You want your house set on fire?

H: Elliot, make more ramen.

Elliot: No.

H: Aw.

Kid: Ha ha. You know I'm actually curious to find out what happens. Why do I seem so OOC in this?

R: Because we suck at writing you.

J: Because you're hard to write.

H: We may never know.

Kid and Elliot: R&R people! Bye!
