"That..." Ryu started. "I... I feel so... stupid all of a sudden..." He chuckled lightly, trying to laugh off how he had acted when he was younger. But then, tears started up.
Kyu, his twin, looked at him worriedly. "I-It's not your fault, Ryu.. I decid--"
"You always say that!" yelled Ryu. "How is it that it's never my fault?! If I weren't born..."
Kyu, in turn, got mad. "You had to! It was part of the offspring cycle!"
"Then is it because of Mother trying to born our little sister that she died?! Was it that she died because she was not supposed to have born a girl along with us twins?! Then who's fault is it?! Our great-great-ancestors?!"
"It's... it's not Kasu or Rena's fault..." Kyu said slowly.
"Why not? It's their fault in the first place that they fell in love and burdened us with this yellow-eyes thing!"
"Well if they didn't fall in love, then I wouldn't have met you!"
Ryu was about to counterattack but those words blasted his own words into pieces. "I-I..." He looked at his twin whose yellow eyes had been sealed along with his soul. Kyu's eyes were fierce though sad at the same time. "I..."
Watanuki coughed for attention. The twins forgot he was there, especially Kyu, who had been telling the story mainly because of the seer's confusion. He said, "I'm sorry to interrupt... but our time here has been too long. If I'm not back soon, I.. Ryu, too... will be trapped in here... forever."
Silence.
"Then go back already!"
Watanuki and Ryu looked at Kyu. The small figure continued, "I don't want you to.. be here with me... trapped forever.."
"I..."
"Go!"
Watanuki went over to where Ryu stood looking at the floor sadly like a kid. "We have to hurry..."
"I..."
"Ryu!"
Ryu looked up. Arms were suddenly around him and a whisper in his ear: "I'll always be here, so don't worry about me. I'm fine." Ryu hugged his brother back. It felt like they were kids again. Before letting his brother go, he replied, "I'll see you again, then."
Kyu was confused at this statement but laughed briefly when he saw Ryu smiling. "Yeah."
Watanuki grabbed Ryu's hand the moment the darkness seemed to turn bright.
