Thanks to the Reviewers:
Shinigumi- I'm glad you like it. Trust me, Between Anubis and Ryo, I'll never run out of ideas for this. Hope you like this chapter as well.
WildfireFriendship- You're not the only one who wants a picture of Ryo. I'm not sure who I'm going to pair him with though. But he'll probably be in a threesome, not sure though. I never officially make up my mind about things until I write the chapter it happens in.

Chapter Two

Sage sat outside in the front yard, on the swing, with his brother and friends. Next to him sat Kale, his twin, who was older then him by an hour. Sitting around them was Sekhmet and Dais. Dais sat with his head in Sekhmet's lap, his tarantula on his stomach. Then there was Rowen, whose blue hair barely stuck out of the top his book. Cye sat next to him and was arm wrestling with the last boy in the group, Kento.

They were forced out of the house and backyard by Mr. and Ms. Date so they could prepare for the barbeque. Every year before school started again, the Date's always had a party so everyone could get together one last time.

"Hey Sage, is it true Ms. Sanada has her grandsons coming to live with her?" Kento asked after beating Cye for the fifth time.

"Yes. They'll be here for the barbeque," Sage answered.

"We've already seen pictures," Kale added.

"Are they cute?" Sekhmet asked.

"The gothic one is okay, but the red-head is more then cute," Kale answered.

"They do anything interesting?" Rowen asked, now interested in the conversation.

"Well...there was a tiger in the picture...so I'm guessing they worked at a reserve or something," Sage explained.

"Although, Ms. Sanada did get that crate this morning, so maybe it's theirs," Kale mused.

"Kale, it's illegal to own a tiger," Dais said from his spot on Sekhmet's lap.

"I just think it's weird that there's a tiger in the picture and then Ms. Sanada gets this huge crate," Kale defended himself.

"You and your damn suspicions! You're going to end up getting into business that you don't belong in one day!" Sekhmet snapped.

"You're just mad because I was right when I said you were gay and liked Dais," Kale stated.

"You know, he has been right about a lot of things," Dais said in Kale's defense.

"Go get the picture. I want to see these guys," Kento said, poking Sage's leg.

"Kale had it last when he was oogling the red-head," Sage said softly. Kale glared at him. He stood up and pulled the picture out of his back pocket and handed it over to Kento.

Cye leaned over Kento's shoulder. "Well, one things for sure, Kale has great taste," Cye commented, glancing at Kale as he blushed.

"Kale! Sage!" Ms. Date's voice floated from inside the house. "When Ms. Sanada gets home, go over and help her carry food trays," She ordered.

"Yes, Mother," Both boys answered.

"Heh...now Kale gets to see his red-head beauty once he gets home," Sekhmet teased, yelping in pain when Kale kicked him.

All seven of them continued talking until Ms. Sanada's black Nissan pulled onto the street and up to her house. Saying their good-bye's, Sekhmet and Dais headed towards their homes. Rowen, Cye, and Kento went back to their places to help their parents bring stuff over to the Date's. Kale and Sage walked over to the Sanada household. As they walked, they watched as two boys exited the car along with Ms. Sanada.

Ryo went to the trunk and pulled out all the bags, after Ms. Sanada popped the trunk. Anubis grabbed his stuff and went into the house, followed by Ryo. Neither boy had noticed Kale and Sage walking towards them, but their grandmother had.

"Hello boys!" She greeted them happily.

"Hey Ms. S," Kale greeted in his usually way while Sage nodded his 'hello.'

"What brings you both here?" She asked.

"We were told to come help you carry stuff over," Kale answered, "but personally, I think our mother was using it as an excuse to get us away from he house."

"If you would stop driving your poor mother crazy, then maybe she would let you stay in the house," Ms. Sanada teased. "Well, come on in, I'll get my grandsons to help too."

Ms. Sanada, Kale, and Sage entered the cool house. Kale and sage headed into the kitchen while Ms. Sanada headed to the bottom of the staircase. "Anubis! Ryo! Come help carry stuff over to the Date's!" she shouted, and then headed into the kitchen.

Kale and Sage had already sat down at the table by the time Ms. Sanada had entered. She went to the fridge and began pulling out large platters. "So how are the two of you? Ready for school?" She asked.

"Everything is fine," Sage answered.

"Yup. Can't wait to be senior!" Kale added.

"Assuming you have the credits for it," Ms. Sanada teased.

"I have the credits!" Kale stated.

"I believe you...no need to shout," She stated. "So Sekhmet and Dais are finally together?"

"Yes," Sage answered. "Wait, how did you know?"

"Please, with the way that those two were always staring at each other, how could you not know?" She countered.

"They didn't know!" Kale exclaimed.

"You never know it when it's about you," She stated. "Take Anubis for instance, Ryo has been telling him for years now that he's gay, and he just now admitted it to himself."

"Really? And which one is Anubis?" Kale questioned.

"Don't you even do it!" Ms. Sanada said quickly.

"Do what?" Kale asked innocently.

"He's just admitted it to himself, at least let him come out of the closet first," she said.

Kale sighed dejectedly, "Fine..."

Sage chuckled. "You'll never win with her," he stated.

"I can try, can't I?" Kale countered.

"Of course you can, but you'll still lose," Sage answered, laughing when Kale pouted.

"Don't listen to him Kale," Ms. Sanada said, "You'll win, just not with me," she said with a smile.

"Gee, thanks Ms. S," Kale said with a sigh. "I suppose the two of you would just prefer I just off a cliff?" he asked.

"No..." Sage answered.

"Of course not! Then who would help me and Ryo push Anubis out of the closet?" She asked frantically.

"So let me get this straight; you won't tell me which one is Anubis, but you want me to help him out of the closet? How am I supposed to do that without knowing which one he is?" Kale questioned.

"You'll find out without me telling you which one he is," Ms. Sanada stated. "Well, start carrying trays over while I head upstairs and drag my grandsons down," she said with a sigh, leaving the room.

Sage stood at once and handed Kale a tray. He took it and waited as Sage grabbed one and left the kitchen. As they walked down the hallway, they heard two sets of footsteps, running. Glancing at each other, they shrugged and continued walking. When the running seemed to draw closer, Kale turned around, and someone crashed into him. Kale fell to the floor, and with quick reflexes, grabbed the platter before it fell to the floor and shattered.

Anubis sat up and shook his head. "Sorry 'bout that," he said looking up at Kale with a smile, "Didn't see ya there," Anubis stood and extended his hand to Kale.

Kale accepted his hand and pulled himself up. "Don't worry about it. Nothings broken," Kale stated. Releasing his hand, Kale pointed over at Sage, "That's my brother Sage, and I'm Kale."

"The name's Anubis and I'm not sure where Ryo is," Anubis said, turning around to look for him.

As he turned, he found a platter in front of him, being held by Ryo. Grabbing the platter, he turned around and looked back at Kale. "That's Ryo." Ryo nodded his greeting. "So where are we taking these?" Anubis asked.

"Our place," Kale answered. "We're next door, kinda," He added leaving with Sage.

"What do you mean kinda?" Anubis questioned, leaving as well, Ryo behind him.

"Our house is there," Kale pointed to a pale blue two-story house that sat on a small hill. "Technically, we're next door without actually being next door."

"You could have just said that you lived in the blue house," Anubis stated.

"That's too easy," Kale said, walking toward the house. With a sigh, Anubis followed him, leaving Sage and Ryo behind. They followed behind the older brothers slowly.

"Did that hurt?" Sage asked, referring to Ryo's eyebrow piercing. Ryo didn't answer him. "Did you hear me?" Sage questioned. Ryo still didn't answer him. "You know, it's rude not to answer someone why they talk to you," Sage chided. Ryo looked over at him; eyebrow raised, and said something in Japanese. Sage sighed and gave up. They got to the backyard of the Date's which was surrounded by white fencing. Ryo and Sage went to the table Kale and Anubis were sitting at.

"So what time does this start?" Sage asked.

"Mom said an hour," Kale answered.

"We'll see you in an hour then," Anubis said, "We've still got things to unpack."

"See ya in an hour then." Kale said.

"Ja!" Anubis said, leaving with Ryo.
