I wonder if I really need to put in these disclaimers or if someone just randomly put it in someday and everyone else followed suit? o.o Ah well...Guess I'll never find out...

Yay! Chapter 11 finally, right? :D It's about time I put these up! I've had them for a while, but didn't think they were good enough to put up, yet here it is!

Hope you enjoy!


~Doppelganger Part 2~

Kugo sat in a dimly lit room, next to a hospital bed. Gentle hands held a delicate one as a heart-meter machine, beeped in the background. His hands tightened around the one he held, as the machine's beeps slowed. He stared at the hand in his, eyes empty and cold.

In the bed was a young woman with a face identical to Kugo's, eyes closed. Long, chocolate-brown hair floated around a slender body, disappearing under a white blanket. Golden eyes slowly opened, eyelids heavy, and looked over at the same pair of golden eyes, ones that were now filled with worry. A mouth opened, in an attempted to speak.

"Shhh." Kugo gently hushed, "Just rest."

"I'm tired, Kugo."

"I know you are."

"…No."

A hint of confusement flashed in Kugo's eyes.

"I mean of resting."

Kugo gave out a silent sigh.

"I want to be by your side when you go out on missions, like we used to. It was fun. Instead I'm stuck just laying here…dying…"

"Don't say that!" Kugo exclaimed as his eyes teared. "Nii-sama…" a sighed. "Nii-sama and I are goin' ta get you better."

"Oh, Kugo…"

"He promised!" he continued. "Nii-sama's the only one we can really rely on besides each other. We're gonna get you better…Just you wait, Tago."

The heart-meter beeps became slower, as Tago paused before answering.

"…I don't think my heart can wait any longer, Nii-chan…"

Kugo clenched his teeth.

"NO, DAMMIT! Don't give up yet! What happened to the Tago I knew…That no matter how much pain she was in, she would force up a smile and say that everythin' would be alright?"

"What do you think I've been doin' up until now? I'm tired…I can't do that anymore…"

That caught him off guard. She what? And he never caught that? His eyes widened as the beeps became even slower. He detached himself from her and searched through the nearby cabinets in a panic. Not finding what he was looking for, he punched the wall nearest to him in anger, causing a slight dent the size of his fist.

Then he remembered something, searched his pocket and took out a vile. In a hurry, he a grabbed a needle that he had cleaned when he entered the room, stuck it in the top of the vile and injected the contents into his sister's arm. Within a minute, her heart accelerated and she broke out in a sweat, gasping as if she hasn't been breathing. Kugo slumped down in the chair he sat in earlier, in relief. Another minute and she would have—

"Fuck…"

"Nii-chan…"

Tago's soft, tired voice floated to his ears.

"Were you awake when he did this?"

"Nii-chan."

"Didn't you see what just happened?"

"Nii-chan!"

"He FUCKIN' took your medicine away!"

He paused to try and calm himself down, before turning back to his twin.

"Since when?"

Tago sighed.

"When did he stop givin' you the medicine?"

She remained silent.

"Answer me, dammit!"

"He never gave me any medicine to begin with!"

Kugo's body stiffened. Did he just hear her right? All this time…All this time he's been giving her medicine to help her stay alive and not once did that so-called 'doctor' even give her a drop? Kugo flared and balled his hands to fists so hard that his finger nails dug into his palms and bled.

"I'm gonna to kill him!"

"Nos Kugo!"

Her hair floated up as she quickly sat up to grab his arm, just in the nick of time.

"If it weren't for him I wouldn't be here!" she exclaimed.

"If it weren't for him none of this would even exist!"

Silence settled in for about a minute.

"If it weren't for him, we wouldn't be alive right now, and none of this bullshit would of gone down." Kugo settled down.

Tago didn't answer.

"I would rather I never been born, than to live without you." he brushed his sister's hair out of her face. "Bad things happen…when we're apart."

Tago's eyes teared up.

"I love you, Kugo."

"I love you, Tago."

Their foreheads touched and tears went down both of the twins' faces; both knowing that this was probably the last time they will get to see each other.

"Everythin' will be alright." the both recited.

Kugo climbed into bed with her and hugged her for the rest of the day and all night.


Kugo sat in a dimly lit room, next to a hospital bed. Gentle hands held a delicate one as a heart-meter machine held a flat line tone. His hands tightened around the one he held. He stared at the hand in his; his eyes ultimately cold and empty.

In his rising fury, he kicked the heart-meter machine, sending it flying and leaving a dent where the machine hit in the wall. He walked out of the room, raging fury and death in his eyes. All who seemed to be his path, were almost killed had they not gotten out of the way in time. Some were not as lucky. He tore open a door and laying eyes on Jiyenii, made for the white rabbit's death.

And so the demon charged at the scientist, with all the anger and pain that had consumed the rest of his emotions.


'…I can't breathe!'

Bubbles rose up, when Kugo made to breath. With that action, the green, experimental water around him drained from the experiment tube he was grown in. As he floated down to the bottom of the tube, he collapsed on all fours and choked on the water he accidentally swallowed. He gasped for air, being granted that wish. His hair and clothes stuck to him, the water keeping it in place.

"There, there…" Nii Jiyenii stood in front of the glass which he didn't dare open. "That's right, time your time…"

Kugo abruptly punched the glass where the scientist stood on the other side. If the glass wasn't there, Jiyenii would be dead. The glass cracked where he had punched, fury erupting to his eyes once more.

"YOU FUCKIN' BASTARD! I'M GONNA KILL YOU!"

With that, he smashed the glass and escaped, inches away from ending the scientist's life. Suddenly, an enormous pain erupted in his chest, causing him to fall to his knees. He put a hand to his chest, the pain too much for him to bear.

"Be careful."

Kugo looked up as soon as the pain lessened. Jiyenii held in his hand what looked to be a remote.

"Keep this up and your heart might explode…"

"Do it! End my life!" Kugo commanded. "I will kill you if you don't."

"Ah, and that, my son, is when you hurt my feelings!" Jiyenii cooed.

Kugo flared and cried out as he attacked him. He missed, Jiyenii simply moving out if the way…Whoa…Kugo fell to the floor, feeling so weak, he could hardly stand back up.

"You have to be more careful…" Jiyenii taunted him. "After your heart being squeezed like that, I don't think you should move for a few minutes,"

Kugo paused. Did he just say his heart was squeezed?

"…My son."

Son? What is this SON bullshit?

"I'm NOT your son!" Kugo screamed. "ESPECIALLY after what you did!"

Jiyenii walked up from behind him, put a hand on his head and tangled his hand in his hair, then ruffled it.

"I made you Nos Kugo…I can destroy you." Jiyenii smiled. "Remember what I told you, when you were born?"

Tears gathered in Kugo's eyes and overflowed.

"That's right…You did tell me somethin' then, didn't you?"

Jiyenii merely continued to smile, waiting for a more specific answer.

"…Tago was with me back then…But if she was here now too,"

Kugo looked up at him with empty, emotionless eyes and gave him an empty smile.

"Then I would remember what it was you said."

Jiyenii frowned, now a bit of anger rising. He tightened his grip on his hair and pulled, forcing him to stand; Kugo letting out a grunt of pain.

"Your mission was to kill the Sanzo party, but you didn't." he whispered in Kugo's ear. "Because you failed,"

He shoved him back down to his knees, finally letting go of his hair.

"Her heart failed."

Kugo's eyes widened.

"So it was your fault…I'll remind you what I said…"

Kugo's creator loomed over his sorry figure, his mind finally breaking down and shattering, after being told:

"…Do as you're told and I promise nothing bad will come to you."


I'm not sure if Nii Jiyenii would act that violently... But it seemed to fit him, at least to me anyways.

Tago: *looks at the rest of the chapters* Wtf? The only chapter I'm in and I die? I call bullshit! I demand more lines!

Kugo: Yeah, what the hell?

Author: No! That's you're reason for Kugo blowing up that empty space outside of that town and the reason as to why you go epically insane!

Kugo: But I can't live without her...

Author: Don't worry, it's not like you won't see her again. -.-

Gota: Spoiler alert! Spoiler alert!

Author: Ah no, not really -.- You're mistaken, Gota.

Gota: What? Seriously? Then that's unfair! I -I mean, she should have more lines!

Author: No! I already went over this with you!

*continues to bicker with the three*

Goku: See ya next time!
