Miki's eyes opened at the soft patter of feet heading toward the door. Oh Kozue....

"Here are you headed?" he said rising from his bed.

"I have a date."

"With whom?"

"Oh, you wouldn't know him," she smirked.

"Why Kozue?" he said approaching her.

"Why do you intend to hurt me?" he settled his hand on her shoulder."Why can't you be the adoring sister you once were?"

"Spare me the interegation, Miki," she slammed her fist against the door before turning to face him.

"Your innocent sister is dead! You destroyed her, Miki just like you destroyed that garden! I want to hurt as I hurt, as twins you are bound to me and I will make sure that you feel the same pain you caused me then! When you abandoned me..."

Her gaze drifted the floor as Miki struggled for words.

"Kozue...I"

"SAVE IT" she cried attempting to rush from the room, but her wrist were caught by her brother.

"Don't go."

"Fuck you, Miki," she said slamming the door behind her.

Miki could feel hot tears streaming down his face as the snow began to fall harder. Perhaps I have become accustom to the cold...

He could almost feel the deadly grip of ice around the delicate petals and eiriness of the grey clouds sheilding the sun. He had become the fallen prince of an icy tundra and his frosty princess would forever keep him cold.

The next morning Miki met Anthy in the music room. They seemed to play together contently, but Kozue's harsh words were weighing heavily on his heart, exactly as she had intended. He knew every word was true. If he had only been there for Kozue she would have been a totally person.

"It hurts to see you like this..."

"What was that?" asked Anthy.

"Oh, nothing," he chuckled.

Perhaps it was time to move on from Kozue and find happiness and light in Ms. Himemiya he thought. He would now place Anthy on the pedalstle that his sister once occupied, as his truly shining thing. The soothing melody of the sunlit garden filled the atmosphere raising his hopes a bit.

"I just love this song," sighed Anthy.

"Me too," whispered Miki his attention completely focused on the young bride. Mustering all the courage that seemed to be in the thin boy he planted a sweet kiss on Anthy's tender lips. She withdrew her eyes wide with suprise.

"I'm sorry, but I'm engaged to Lady Utena."

"I understand," he whispered his gaze spiraling downward.

It made no difference he knew in that instant that he could never replace Kozue, she would forever be his shining thing; the ending to his song, which he would never reach. Laying his head on the piano as Himemiya exited he began to weep. Why couldn't he see his sister smile just once more?

Deguised in her usual corner Kozue watched from the shadows.

A/N: Sry I'm having short fics. I suffer from writer's block and this story has seem to fallen plotless so I will close it in the next chapter before I further butcher it. I have finished Ebony Petals and Charcoaled Hearts, I had hopes to post it today but like an idiot I forgot it at school so you can hope to see that soon. Sry this fic couldn't have been better if more ever comes to me I will continue but for now check chap 4 for finale!
