I glared firmly at the both of them from the back-seat.

"This isn't the way to my house." I stated. They hadn't even asked me where it was yet-and we had been driving for a good fifteen minutes. In response, they both leaned over the seat, staring at me.

"We're bored." They said together, once again looking like a pair of clones.

"It's friday night-

"And it's not like we can ask Haruhi to come with. She's sick," reasoned Kaoru, with an arrogant flip of his bangs.

"And we don't want the entire host club coming too." Hikaru said, slight irritation covering his voice. I twitched at the 'we'.

"We would have invited at least one other person-but you were the best candidate." Kaoru said. Then they both leaned in.

"We both knew you were already awake since you were working."

"Alright, that's it. Hikaru-" I snapped, grabbing his ear.

"And Kaoru," I grabbed his ear.

"QUIT WITH THE DAMN CLONE ACT. It's pissing me off."

They looked at each other, before letting out a 'hmph' and using their hands to free their ears from my hands.

"But it's fun," they said together.

"And besides, we don't take orders from a commoner like you." They said, very much spoiled-brat like. My eyes narrowed, before glancing at the clock.

"It's 11:30 at night. Where the hell are you idiots taking me?"

They annoyingly pointed their fingers at me and winked simultaneously.

"It's a secret."

I glared, and using both of my hands, I bashed their heads together.

"Ow! What the hell did you do that for?" Hikaru snapped.

"Don't be so violent!" Kaoru whined. I sat back, letting a small smile cross my face.

"See? You two are completely different people-you should start letting it show more often."

They blinked, looking as though I had hit them with a baseball bat instead of just bashing their heads together.

"Did you two lose more brain cells? I should be more careful-you two need all you can get." I remarked, smirking. Hikaru's face was the first to drop in a scowl, followed closely by Kaoru's.

-X-

I held Saya's hand tightly, staring at the hug store in front of us.

"Why are we here?" I asked her. She turned to me, a smile dancing across her face.

"Remember when I said we needed to make more of an effort to look different from one another? This is the first step."

My grip tightened.

"But this won't...it won't change anything between us, right? We'll still be close, right?" I said, uncertain. Saya laughed.

"Of course it won't change anything, silly. We're still twins. But we're two different people-two wonderfully different people. It's time people saw that."

I nodded, stomach twisting in uncertainty. Somehow, it felt like there was a wall going up between us. Saya frowned, putting both hands on my shoulders and forcing me to look her in the eyes. The eyes that so comfortingly mirrored mine.

"Rei-Chan, nothing is going to change between us. We'll still be best friends-forever."

I nodded again, taking comfort in her words. Saya slipped her hand in mine again.

"Ready?" She asked. I took a deep breath.

"Okay. Let's do it," I replied. She smiled, leading me in. The strength in Saya's hand and stride comforted me greatly as we walked in.

We were only ten years old back then.

"We're here!" The twins said. I blinked blearily. The clock read 12:15am. Seriously? The huge building in front of us defied the night's darkness with neon lights-blue, yellow, green, red. The sign flashing over the double doors read, "Kyo's Extreme Laser Tag Emporium'. Slowly, a grin crept up my face.

"You're on." I said, confidence streaming through me. No one, and I mean no one, had ever beat me at laser tag.

-X-

Now, I was expecting it to be crowded-like a laser tag place should be on a friday night. But no-no other customers came forth when we walked up to the front desk. I scanned the ticket prices behind the cashier and paled.

It was four-thousand yen just to get in.

The cashier looked up.

"Ahh! The Hitachiin brothers-welcome back!" He said, walking out from behind the counter. Neither of them replied to the warm welcome, instead looking away with little interest. I gave them both a dirty look, and then turned to the cashier myself.

"Hi-I'm Reika. Who-

"We'll take the usual, Dai. Add her onto our list," Hikaru interrupted, jabbing a finger at me.

"Right away sir," the cashier smiled, beckoning us down a hallway to the right. i glared at the clones vehemently-but was ignored.

We were led into a room with the electronic vests and weapons.

"Your room is on the right," Dai said, befor bowing out. The twins turned to me after he left.

"So, which of us do you want on your team? Do you want Kaoru, or me?" Kaoru asked, as if it was expected.

"Neither, Kaoru." I replied, pointedly calling him by name-catching him in the act. They blinked. Slowly, grins crept across their faces.

"So what you're saying is-" Hikaru began, creeping around on one side with a cocky grin.

"It's us against you?" Kaoru finished, creeping on the other side. I pushed both of them away pointed, before replying.

"Being partnered with one of you idiots would only slow me down."

The grins never left their faces.

"Alright, then-" Hikaru started.

"Let's make it interesting." They said together, switching up the usual pattern of Hikaru-Kaoru-together. They waited for my response.

"I'm listening."

Hikaru and Kaoru exchanged a glance.

"If we win, you'll have to be our servant for a week." They said together. I grinned, unfazed.

"And if I win...you two have to spend three days at school dressed like babies." I threw in. Both their faces scrunched up.

"You've got to be kidding," Hikaru and Koaru said, disbelief covering their voices.

"Nope." I said, grabbing a vest with neon blue lights. I looked over my shoulder at them as I slid it on and put the matching ray gun in place.

"Prepare yourselves, boys," I said with a smirk. They both scowled, hollering, "As if we'd lose to you!" as they each grabbed a green vest.
