Important:
'hello'-fai/yuui's language
"hello"-everyone else's language


'And you're getting worse and worse, Fai, you've really got to knock it off.' Fai rolled his eyes and walked ahead of Kurogane, completely ignoring Yuui. Yuui scowled, sighed, and ran ahead to catch up with his brother. At the stop sign, he grabbed his brother's arm, stopping him and forcing him to listen. 'I'm serious, Fai. You're seriously hurting Sakura-chan and Tomoyo-chan with your attitude, and even Syaoran-san and Kurogane-san are getting annoyed.'

Far behind them, Kurogane rolled his eyes.

"Walking home alone, Kurogane-san?" Kurogane looked at Sakura.

"Nah. I'm walking with these two idiots over there." Kurogane pointed to where Fai and Yuui were talking urgently, Fai shaking his head. Sakura watched for a few seconds before sighing.

"I wonder what's going on with Fai-san. He's been pretty much like...like....like Yuui-san, when they first came, and it's been four days already." Kurogane was about to answer when a sudden SCRR-EEECCCHHH! CRASH! and a surprised yell broke through the sudden silence. They looked up and Sakura screamed. They both ran forward, not stopping until they got to the stop sign. One of the twins had disappeared, and the remaining one seemed to be in shock. He was on the floor by the crash, staring at it with a blank look on his face. Sakura shook her head and put her hand over her mouth, tears pouring down her face.

"What's going on?" Kurogane grabbed the twin by the shoulders and shook him slightly. "Which one? Who are you?" The twin looked at him and Kurogane got a reaction. Tears came into the blonde's eyes.

'He's dead...'

"Answer me! I don't understand you, answer me!" The Flowright shook his head and the tears started.

'He's dead! He's dead, he's dead, he's dead--'

"Sakura! Sakura, help me find the other one, or go get help! Hurry!" Sakura stumbled back slightly, her eyes wide, but turned around as she was told and started knocking on doors.

"HELP! AN ACCIDENT! HELP!" The Flowright wrapped his arms around his legs and buried his face, crying harder as Kurogane attempted to find the other.


Under the car, blood pouring from his head, lay the other twin. Dead. His eyes, which were opened slightly, enough to see the black color of them, glowed slightly and turned a beautiful blue. His brother's eyes opened, turning a golden amber. Blinking slowly as he tried to comprehend the color of his eyes, he gasped in pain as blue started to seep in, staining the amber. He closed his eyes as a small, unknown battle commenced-a battle of sorts, at any rate. His brother, it seemed, had a chance to live. He ignored Kurogane's questions as he waited calmly (as calmly as he could- he desperatly wanted to see how his brother was doing) for a 'choice' to be made.

"Oi! Idiot!" He winced.

'Wait, wait...' He muttered, pushing the heels of his palms into his eyes to stop the pain. He was getting a headache.

"Hey! Get up!" Get up? He was already up...or was he? He couldn't tell anymore, wasn't sure. Distantly, he head a THUD, a sure sign that something hit the pavement. Pain shot through his head and he vaguely realized he had hit his head on the sidewalk.

'Nii-san, you need to get up.' He blinked.

'Huh?'

'Get up, Nii-san' Sitting up slowly, he opened his eyes to look around. It was black around him and he sighed. 'Nii-san...' He followed to voice to...

'AAH!' He pulled back in slight horror. Sitting before him was his brother, as he was now, bloody and bruised and injured. 'Nii-san, what happened? Why---What's going on?'

'This is the price of a life for us, the fair trade Yuuko-san said would happen.' His twin pressed his hands over his eyes. Color rushed back into the living twin's eyes and he fought back as best he could but---

"OI!" WHACK! "I said GET UP!" He woke with a start, panicking, still fighting his imagination. He calmed down slightly when Kurogane grabbed his arms to keep him from hitting anything-he was way too close to the stop sign.

'What...what...' He felt his eyes gingerly. He felt no rush of anything, power or death.

"What're you---" The Flowright twin opened his eyes slowly.

'Stalemate, I think. That is what happened. A Stalemate.' The twin whispered softly. A sudden rush of pain overcame him. 'AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!' He yelled, pressing hands over his eyes as they filled with color. The pain subsided slowly and he felt himself swaying lightly where he sat.

"OI! GET UP!" He hit the floor hard.

'Preparations are useless. One will die, one will survive.' He muttered. 'Looks like I drew the short stick.' He blacked out as sirens were heard, drawing nearer and nearer.


Author's Notes: Wow. What a chapter. Can you believe it took me forever to write this? You probably can, I haven't updated in forever. But I AM NOT GOOD AT SCENES LIKE THIS!!! I am very suprised it turned out this way. Anyway, can anyone guess what happened? Allison, if you're reading this, no hints for the people! Same for you, Kuro-mii! No hints in the reviews or anything, ok?

Any questions about this fanfiction are invited and i will answer them to the best of my ability-unless the question will be answered soon in the fanfic. Thank you for reading and i hope you will enjoy this.

Just a reminder: keep in mind that i am actually writing this down on paper, and even though i am about half-done with it, i am just that-HALF-DONE! so if i catch up to myself on the computer, there will be a big pause while i try to figure out what happens next, all right?

thanks again for reading, and leave me lotsa reviews!!
