A/N:
Okay-sama. This chapter is important-desu.
Oh wait, wrong story. Heh. This chapter is important, damn you!
WHY? Because it basically tells you everything, plus more.
It also explains why I changed the title and summary.
Momiji skipped down the road to the ice cream parlor by the waters edge. He was excited he could go somewhere with his brother. People in the street could tell one was evil and one wasn't though, just by the way they looked almost the same but dressed a bit differently.
"So, what do you plan to do with your life?" Momiji asked randomly as he discontinued his skipping and halted beside Momegee.
"I…I…" Momegee furrowed his brow. He hated trick questions. "I wanna get my bottom lip pierced,"
"Does that mean I have to get my top lip done?"
Momegee clenched his hands into fists. Maybe taking him out was a stupid idea! But there was something important he needed to say. Something vital…
"Sit down!" Momegee yelled suddenly, pointing to a secluded area on the point. Momiji opened his mouth to speak, but Momegee spoke for him. "I wasn't supposed to tell you, okay? But I had to. Why? Because I'm just a big softly. I'm the worst of the Parallels,"
"Parallels?"
"That's us," Sighed Momegee, "We are called the Parallels, because our universe isn't the, so called 'real one'. But this year, Akito has called for the Parallels to gather together for a stand. Because he can't stand not being in power of every zodiac,"
"That's terrible…"
"Stop interrupting!"
"Sorry!"
"And so, we are all gathering together, bound together by our curse, to defeat you guys. Kill you off even, if we have to," Momegee continued. "Because it was Akito's order"
Momiji thought for a moment. He wasn't very mature for his age, but he understood what he meant by 'Akito's Order'. Everyone knew what that meant. Even Tohru did.
"So… you're gonna kill me now?" Momiji sniffed. He could feel some tears building up at the back of his eye sockets. He brushed them away.
"No, no… I told you because I don't want to be like them! I'm not evil. Well, in some cases I am, but…" He paused, "Do you understand what I mean, though?"
"Yes,"
"Good then. Oh, one more thing,"
"Anything!" Momiji cried, grabbing one of his brother's hands and squeezing ever so gently.
"You MUST NOT tell ANYONE under ANY circumstances that I TOLD YOU, got that?"
Momiji mentally murdered himself. Secrets just never were his thing! He couldn't keep them or create them. He always had to tell everyone everything. He bit down on his tongue roughly and nodded, knowing the consequences.
"But shouldn't I tell someone, an adult, anyone?"
"Why?"
"So they can help us. Help you to not be a Parallel!"
Momegee though for a second, before grabbing his brother's shoulders. Their faces were inches apart.
"No! Dammit Momiji, tell no one! You mustn't!"
Momiji nodded and Momegee backed away. After a pre-longed silence, Momegee went and stole some ice cream. Momiji squealed when he instructed him to run for dear life or be killed. Of course, that was an exaggeration; Momegee just didn't want to cops to lock them both up.
When they got back to Shigure's house, Momiji's face was pale. How long could he last before he blurted by accident? Tohru was talking to Shigure about something and apart from that, the house seemed deathly empty. Which was… strange.
"Where's everyone?" Asked Momegee as they both plonked down beside Tohru. Shigure laughed.
"Harau went a bit… psycho and beat the living hell out of Kyo, which I suppose was good for him," He paused and chuckled, "Good as in it wasn't Yuki"
"But where did everyone else go?"
"They went to the hospital," Tohru continued for Shigure, "The evil twins basically to tease the patients and cause havoc. I think Kyou went because his brother is currently in hospital. I know that Yuki and Haru went because they were sort of worried. Kagura should be there soon too,"
"But I can't IMAGINE the ruckus those twins are creating right now! Shigurei is probably watching women give birth, that naughty, naughty pervert! And I can just imagine what Harau is doing to poor little girls! Oh it pains my soul!" Shigure whined, pulling a puppy dog face and burying himself in Tohru's shoulder.
Tohru giggled slightly before going to make dinner.
"They shouldn't be back anytime soon, Momegee, so your welcome to go too," Shigure sighed, scratching his head. But Momegee rejected his offer.
"No thanks. I wanna stay with him," He replied, pointing a finger at Momiji, who was currently on the phone to Hatori about something random. Shigure eyed Momegee before going to bed. He was dead tired. But then again, it WAS 5pm at night. And Shigure, being the talented writer he is needs sleep, right?
Tohru served dinner moments later, which was only spread between the three.
"What did you do today?" She asked.
"Oh, we took some ice cream and talked about the Para-"
"The uhh… parasols! Yeah! Yeah…"
Tohru eyed the two. Momegee had swiftly covered Momiji's mouth up with two hands before continuing. Was there something he wasn't supposed to say?
She nodded shyly before going to wash the dishes.
"Good one, moron!"
"I'm sorry…" Momiji began crying. Momegee bit his tongue; what was he supposed to do now?
"Dammit! None of this crap would have happened if YOU, stupid cow, didn't bring your stupid cow brother here in the first place… stupid cow!" Came the thundering voice of Kyo outside. He slammed the door open and stormed into the house, sitting down on the opposite of the table from Momiji and his brother. The first thing to be noticed was the fact Kyo had a set of stitches on his forehead and a bruise on his cheek.
"Yeah? Well it's not my fault he wanted to come here!" Haru yelled back as he came into the house. Harau was behind him, followed by Yuki and Tooru.
"Where is everyone else?" Momiji asked, when he realized most of the evil twins were missing.
"Still at the hospital. They're playing… doctors and nurses with random patients in the operation room. Apparently they gave some guy implants… sucker!" Tooru laughed, slapping Yuki's back and laughing her guts up. Yuki gave her a weird look before going to bed; he'd had enough of today.
"DAMMIT HARU, YOU'RE SUCH AN IDIOT!"
"YOU ARE!"
"HOW SO?"
"YOU'RE A STUPID CAT!"
Kyo's eye twitched randomly as Haru pounced on him.
"Hey! I already have stitches, moron!"
"WELL YOU'RE ABOUT TO HAVE SOME MORE!"
"You two, stop it, or I'll flash again!"
(insert sound of a record being cut off)
Everyone stared at Tooru, especially Kyo and Haru. They remembered what had happened at the hospital.
((Gasp! Flashback!))
Kyo and Haru were fighting again, in the waiting room of the hospital. Kyo only needed a few stitches, so he had to wait quite a while. Tooru and Kyou were instructed to stay with them for a while and make sure nothing happened.
"You guys have to stay here," Shigurei had said, "Then, when you're sure they're ok, you can come cut up some people with us!"
"They're fine!" Kyou yelled, throwing a magazine at Shigurei. He chuckled and walked off.
The fighting between the two cousins at that point had only been language and few pushed. Tooru and Kyou were randomly talking about how they wanted to cut people up.
"FREAKING COW!" Kyo randomly yelled and stood up, punching Haru in the jaw.
"Hey, boys! Calm down a bit!" Tooru yelled, earning stares from every person in the waiting room. She turned around and gave them all the finger before turning back to Kyo and Haru. She stood and faced them.
"Hey, look at this!" She said, before undoing the straps on her shirt and revealing two breasts. Haru and Kyo stopped almost instantly and sat quietly blushing.
"Haha. I win!"
((Oh no… end flashback))
Haru and Kyo sat down quietly (again) beside Momegee. The night went by like this until the rest of twins came home. Tohru got set to work with Yuki to set out some fold out beds and blankets for everyone to sleep on. Apart from Kaguhrah (who was staying with Kagura), everyone was at Shigure's house.
"Night everyone!" Tohru said as she looked over the sea of twins on the floor, plus Momiji and Haru. She walked up to her room and also went to sleep.
A few minutes later, it seemed everyone was asleep. But Momegee wasn't. He turned to Momiji, who was beside him and watched him.
"You've done well, Momiji. Very well. Keep this up and there's something in it for ya!"

Ooh gasp! How shocking.
