"She was found in the same condition you were, Mr. Shields….poor thing."

"Hmm…"

"Yes, well, just hand these later to the orphanage representative outside and she's all yours." The door shut as the doctor left the room. There was a rustling of sheets, a clap of thunder, and pressure was put on the hospital bed. She opened her eyes just enough to see a 10 yr old sitting on her white hospital bed.

"They say you're my sister…" the boy's face looked as if it had been through a lot…so sad….his icy blue eyes were so lonely….he looked towards the girl and a small spark of happiness lit up his eyes." I've lost all of my memory…as you have….so all we have to rely on is the doctors' words and each other from now on….i don't want to lose you; the only thing that I have in my life okay?"

"Okay."

"Don't worry. They said that we are family, so we'll just stick to that. We'll live in an orphanage until I'm old enough to get a job…don't worry." The girl just nodded and kept her eyes downcast. The boy leaned over and wrapped his arms around her trembling body. The girl was so taken aback by this, she just let him hug her. Since just then, she was alone in the world with no one to turn to. But being there with her "brother" was just so overwhelming, that she just cried.

He sat there for a while until the girl's crying had subsided and she fell asleep. What was he going to do? His head swimming with ideas, he fell into a troubled sleep beside the girl.

.::Eight years later::.

"I just don't think that it's such a good idea at the moment," he said, sighing noticeably and leaning back into his couch. The girl at his feet sat cross-legged, her hands together, pleading.

"Please!!! Please, please, please, please! C'mon, I'm old enough to take care of myself, I don't need my big brother tagging along everywhere I go. Please, just let me go to just one movie…just one! That's all I ask." He looked up at the ceiling and sighed( again…).

"I don't want you to go, what with all these attacks on girls…(your age, I might add) and…" His head still tilted, his eyes looked down upon her. It was unbearable. That face. So pleading….oh no…the puppy dog eyes…and the trembling lip….next thing you know, she'll be talking in English….anything but that.

"I just don't want to go back and pick you up from the theater, and find my sister's body lying on the ground…" he shuddered at the thought. She punched his leg playfully.

"C'mon Darien…your not gonna find my dead body there…the only time you'll find my dead body is when I become a movie star and someone tries to assassinate me when I'm going down the red carpet or something." Darien sighed and ran a hand through his black hair. He looked down again. And sighed.

"Gosh Darien, will you stop sighing! It's like I'm dying or something!"

he chuckled softly, leaned down on his knees and said, "Watch out for wackos out there okay?" he smiled. She gasped. Mouth open, eyes wide and everything. Then, she just leapt up and hugged the living daylights out of him.

"Thank you soooooooooooooo….much! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! thank you! Oh-mi-gosh, you so won't regret it! I-I'll buy candy, popcorn, souvenirs, what ever you want!"

"It's okay, you're just a normal 13 with your own life…btw, I want you to keep that life, and watch out. You know what was on T.V. the attacks…be careful."

"I will, I will. Don't worry. Well, all you have to do is drive me to the theater in 5 minutes, kay!" then, she took off, wanting to get dressed in her best. Meaning jeans and a Nokuyame t-shirt.

5 Minutes l8r

"Okay, let's go…c'mon Darien, what's the hold up???"

"It would help if you weren't shouting in my ear, and pulling my shirt while I'm trying to put on my shoes…"

"Well, you're just really sloooowwwww…I'm seriously considering driving there myself…later!" she took off and bounded down the apartment staircase.

"What the--???Hey, wait up!" outside, in the parking lot, a loud screeching noise (like a car) sounded soon followed by a crash and a scream. A look of disbelief and shock dawned upon Darien's face. No…she wouldn't…his only family gone…

He dashed out the door and leaned over the railing in-front of his apartment door.

"SERENE!!!!!"

"Yeah?" heart pounding, eyes wide, sweat beading down his forehead, he turned to his right….into the curious eyes and smiling face of his little sister. "What's up?"

"What's up!? What's up?!?!??" grabbing his little sister's shoulders and shaking her until her teeth rattled. "Is that all you have to say after I think that you nearly DIED!!!" Darien was hyperventilating.

He grabbed her hand unexpectedly and pulled her into a bone-crushing hug, filled with emotional tears(even thought Darien really isn't like that…well, he his when he's around his sister)

"Don't you dare do that again…"he hugged tighter. A muffled noise came forth from somewhere by his chest, followed by a stifle gasp. Serene's head popped up as she filled her lungs with long awaited air.

"What the hey! I didn't do anything—," sudden revelation dawned on her face as she put 1 and 1 together to get 2. "Oh, you mean the crash and the scream? Aw, don't worry about it…that was just the neighbor…stupid pet was dying anyway…" she looked up into his shadowed eyes to look for reassurance that Mamoru was emotionally okay, but only found his face wet with tears.

She loved him so much and she knew that he returned the feeling, so it hurt her so much to see him like this. Mamoru's whole life was filled with grief. Serene was his only candle in the darkness. Sure, he knew some girls from Juuban High School, but hey, they were a bunch of giggly high school girls. Like he could connect! All he had to look forward to at the end of the day was seeing his only family happily skipping out of school. And he was even worried about that. What if she fell of the bars at gym class. What if she hurt herself during Kendo? What if she tripped and fell (yes, trivial things such as a skinned knee set him off) What if people were teasing her at school? What if-?

That just about covered it. Mamoru's life was filled with 'What if's'

It was her turn for tears.

She laid her hands upon his and enclosed her fingers around them.

"C'mon, let's go." And so they walked off out of the apartment building towards their destination.
