Me: Hello all! Thank you so much for your reviews, they mean so much to me! I'm glad you all liked them. Sorry for not using your names, but I'm running out of time. But, to The Angst Whore: You changed your name AGAIN! How many times does this make? lol, j/k. Anyway, I hope you all enjoy the next chapter!

Kai and Karma ran through the village, dodging men and women as they went.

"Come on Karma! Whisper Bridge is just this way. Just a little further." Kai called to her twin, who stumbled across the broken path.

"Why did Kyro want to meet us here again? Its so… dilapidated." Karma complained.

Kai sighed,
"Probably because no one ever goes back here."

"We're going, aren't we?"

Kai frowned, trying to find the right words to explain.
"Ah… well… no one besides us goes there anyways…" She mumbled, making Karma smile.

Finally the two found the bridge. It was old, and obviously falling apart, meaning the two had to watch their steps, or the rotting boards could easily break, sending them plummeting down into the murky water below.

Karma shuddered, not liking this at all.
"I blame Matt for this…"

Kai turned and looked at her, slightly confused,
"What?"

Karma nodded,
"I blame Matt."

"…Why?" Kai asked, violet eyes staring questionably at her younger twin.

Karma shrugged,
"I don't know, but isn't everything usually his fault?"

Kai giggled as they got to the middle of the long bridge to await Kyro and Matt's arrival.

"Hey! We're actually here on time, and they're the ones that are late!" Whined Karma, making Kai smile.

"Well… maybe, in actuality, we're late. Maybe they got tired of waiting and left."

Karma pouted slightly,
"In that case, should we go and yell at them for being morons?"

Kai didn't get a chance to answer as something connected with the back of her head.
"Ow!" she howled, turning to barrage whoever had hit her with insults. However, rather obnoxious laughter met her ears, making her stop.

"Oh, it's just you." She said, smiling lightly as a young boy walked towards them. He had short brown hair, silver streaks running through it. His eyes were brown and sparkled with mirth as he approached.

"It's about time you got here, I was getting bored throwing rocks at inanimate objects."

Karma raised an eyebrow,

"So now you're going to throw them at us? What are you, insane?"

"Do you have to ask?" muttered Kai, glaring at Matt.

"That's not why you're here." Came a cold, emotionless voice that sent shivers down those present's spines. ((A/N: did that make sense? O.o))

Another young boy emerged from the shadows a Sakura tree had provided by the bridge. He had shoulder-length brown hair tied back into a ponytail at the nape of his neck. His dark brown eyes stared coldly at the three of them, making them shiver again.
"Oh… hello Kyro." Karma said, hiding slightly behind Kai. Kyro turned his gaze to her.

"…Hello." He said simply, nodding in greeting.

Kai sighed,
"Why are we here?"

Kyro turned his attention to her and hesitated.
"…It's about the ritual."

Matt, who had currently been ready to dump a handful of dirt into Kai's hair, stopped, posed to do so.

"N-nani?" ((What?) He shrieked, dumping the dirt onto the ground.

Kai and Karma gave him a strange look, one eyebrow raised.

"…Right, continue Kyro, what about it?" Kai asked as they returned their attentions to the 15 year-old.

Kyro shook his head and sighed lightly, before replying,
"do you know anything about it?"

Kai and Karma shook their heads slowly, briefly wondering what Kyro was going on about.

"…I see." Was all he said.

The two twins nearly fell off the bridge,
"Is that all?"

"Of course not, morons." Kyro snapped, making them cease their whining.
He sighed, "The ritual…. You're the ones in it this year?"

The two once again nodded slowly.

"I see… The ritual is a very horrid one that requires the help of triplets. The oldest is separated from the other two, so as not to feel any guilt for-"

"For doing what?" Questioned Kai.

Kyro glared,
"I was getting there." He growled.

Kai let out a squeak, and nodded.

Kyro sighed and continued,
"Anyways…. As I was saying, the older is separated from the other two so as not to feel guilt for-"

The ringing of a bell interrupted him.

Kai and Karma looked at each other in surprise,
"A town meeting…?" They turned their attention to Matt and Kyro.
"We've got to go, we'll talk to you guys later! Bye!" They called, before racing away.

Matt frowned,
"You're really going to tell them?"

Kyro nodded curtly.
"They need to know. They have a right to know, as our siblings did not."

Matt turned away form his friend to gaze into the murky water.

"…Yea…" He muttered dejectedly, sighing lightly,
"I suppose you're right… but if you keep getting interrupted like that, you'll never tell them what the need to hear…"
Kyro scowled,
"The village is against us. I'll have to find a way to work around the system."

Matt smirked,
"Good luck with that… I have to get home, I'll see you later." Matt said, turning and disappearing into the fog that began to set around the bridge.

Kyro made no attempt the acknowledge the other's depart, lost in his own thoughts about the ritual, and the its next victims.

Me: There ya go! Hope you enjoy, sorry if it was shorter then what youd hoped or whatever... I want some reviews before I continue!
