A/N: I know I meant to do the Yuki-Onna case now but this one practically wrote itself before it. As you can see that traces of plot are there. Both in-fic plot and in-manga plot. I try to keep things vague though in the case we get some more info in the manga. So yeah, there is some spoilers too in this chapter. Like spoilers I got in the middle of writing this. You have been warned.

The third file: Not quite an intermission
Sub-file three: Twins

It was around New Years. A year and half after they arrived to Osaka again. Shugo, on the second grade of middle school now, was scrolling through internet for information of the location his class would go to ski in two weeks. It was then that their house phone rang. Yamato went to answer it.

"Moshi, moshi? …Tsubasa-san?" The man asked in surprise. At the tone of his voice, Shugo even looked up. Tsubasa… that name rang a bell but for the life, the boy couldn't remember why.

"Hai, wakarimashita… Jaa ne." The phone call was over soon and Yamato was almost right away pulling on a jacket.

"Where are you going?" The boy asked with a frown.

"I got a meeting with an acquaintance. You stay here, I'll be back soon. If needed, go to either of your friends." The man told the boy. "You have planned to go to visit the temple tomorrow with the Hattori's, right?"

"Yeah…"

"Good. I'll be back as soon as possible." Yamato was almost out of the door when Shugo got on his feet and went to the hall too.

"Alright… Stay safe, Yamato."

"You too."

The door closed. Shugo frowned. He had a funny feeling about this. Not a bad one necessary but a strange one.

After three and half hours in train, Yamato got off in Saitama station where a woman was waiting for him in front of a car.

"Tsubasa-san, there better be a good reason for me to come all the way here. I just barely caught the train." Yamato told her when they climbed into the car, a Peugeot. "Especially during the time of year when I can't even go to see the Shibazakura."

"While here… call me Michiko." The woman spoke. "Interpol placed me to Saitama police force for a while. I'm using a different first name while working here."

"Alright… Why did you ask me here then? I had to leave Shugo-kun alone in Osaka. You know… Your son?"

The woman – Tsubasa/Michiko – sighed. "We are meeting with my brother. He's got only a couple of days free before he has to return to Tokyo."

"And Hoshi-chan then?"

"She's safe with my mother in Kyoto."

"And let me guess… She hasn't seen you in years just like Shugo-kun hasn't." Yamato frowned. That made Michiko pause.

"Shugo… You mean Daiki, right?"

"Yes." Yamato replied tersely. "And after all these years a proper explanation could be in order. While I'm thankful for Shugo-kun's presence in my life and the money you give me isn't useless either in staying under radar but…"

"We going to meet with my brother now. I'll explain more there to you both." Michiko replied, slowing down her car and eventually parking it by the curb. She pointed at a place on the other side of the road and said, "Tsukasa is already waiting for us in that bar."

"Alright then… Let's get his show on the road." Yamato sighed, getting out of the car after the woman.

"Tsukasa, we're here." The woman greeted her brother. Yamato… recognized the man. But what he did note instead of the other man's identity, was how alike the siblings were. Almost the same height, same black hair with similar slightly side-swept bangs(just to opposite directions), same tired-looking but kind blue-grey eyes. Eyes that both Shugo and Tsukiko had. (Shugo had told Yamato that in future Tsukiko's friends would say that the girl resembled Sera Masumi and in relation Akai Shuichi too. Yamato disagreed strongly of that notion.) Shugo though had a bit rounder eye shape and both kids had the 'Western-fold' but otherwise… especially with black hair instead of blonde, it was clear to him that the kids and those two siblings in front of Yamato were related to each other.

"You are… Kurosawa, wasn't it?" Tsukasa asked.

"I prefer Ishikawa." Yamato smiled at the man. "Our previous meeting was all too brief and I'm afraid you might've gotten a wrong impression of me…"

"Quite possibly. And I'm curious to hear how Tsubasa met with you…"

"Shall we order drinks and talk then?" The woman next to them spoke up. "And it is Michiko while here."

The trio ordered drinks: a brandy, a scotch and a shochuu, and went to pick seat away from the door and window but in a spot where they could see all of them.

"So… Tsubasa, you have a lot to tell." Tsukasa spoke up then.

"Yes…" Michiko sighed. Yamato noted that neither of the siblings called the other with any suffix. They did look close in age… Maybe they were twins even. "Fifteen years ago… Some months before Daiki's birth I got mixed up in a case as a witness. I was the last one to see 'Asaca', Amanda Hughes's bodyguard, before their disappearance and the discovering of the bodies…"

"You went there to meet with Hughes-san and found her dead with Haneda Kohji-san." Tsukasa clarified.

"Yes. Interpol had set a meeting with her and I was acting as a driver for the meeting before I was to stop working for my maternity leave. As I wanted to give birth to Daiki at my husband's home country rather than in America, I had to leave earlier before it would be dangerous for me and Daiki."

"But those deaths were more important than you knew at first. Causing you and your family to be in danger." Yamato guessed.

"Yes. There was at least one other person, Akai Tsutomu, who had to begin keeping low profile because of that case. I do not know about him anything other than name and the fact he did have a family." Michiko shrugged. "So I moved to Finland with my husband and gave Tsukasa here the vague outline of what had happened."

"I investigated through my own contact some more but not much." Tsukasa admitted.

"Then Shugo was born. And Hoshi later. We gave them Finnish names back then: Lari and Jade. We travelled. I stuck with the kids, my husband kept working in whichever country we were staying at since he is working for the Interpol too…"

"Then came Japan. And Lucas-san saved my life." Yamato spoke up when Michiko trailed off.

"Yes, you got yourself surrounded by the police and Lucas helped you escape. You were just a kid back then and I guess he felt you deserved a second chance. At least you were ridiculously honest when arguing for your freedom." Michiko chuckled and took a sip of her brandy. "We trusted Daiki in your care on the same year he was to start school."

"Trusted in my care… You sent a message to my pager and found the kid out in a park." Yamato snorted. "I wasn't even out of the Organization yet, what were you thinking?"

"They were thinking that the situation had changed." Tsukasa sighed. "I got some new information. The Organization which had orchestrated the murder, had found the name Tsubasa used back then.

"Name and picture. 'Asa Karlson', and connected it to Kagemiya Tsubasa. While I can still use my family name, my first name is rare enough that I need to be Michiko. So I needed to get my children to safety. Daiki to you, and Hoshi to my mother, Tsubaki."

"…Does all of your family have names starting with the same syllable?" Yamato deadpanned. The siblings glanced each other.

"Yes/No." They replied, resulting glares at each other before Tsukasa sighed. "Otou-san doesn't have…. But okaa-san, Tsubasa and I, and our older sister Tsubame do…"

"Enough of that though, we don't have that much time anyways. My children were safe. And you moved away from Tokyo soon too, with Shugo in tow. Everything was fine. And I could start investigating again and Tsukasa began his infiltration operation soon too."

"Until Interpol benched you here."

"I became Michiko three years ago, allegedly transferred from Kyoto. I'm an inspector as of three months ago. And haven't seen my children nor my husband for seven years now…"

"…Daiki goes by Midorikawa Shugo now." Yamato stated into the silence.

"Midorikawa is okaa-san's maiden name." Tsukasa blinked in surprise. "The 'Tsu'-beginning names are also a Midorikawa thing."

"Yeah, while seeing auras is a Kagemiya thing." Tsubasa grumbled, making her brother chuckle.

"Heh, is it still bothering you? I'm glad I didn't get it."

"Yes, you just got the compartmentalizing personality split that no one notices because no one has ever met the other personality." The woman shot back.

"The fireworks are starting soon. Why don't we head outside?" Yamato suggested then. The other two agreed silently and began picking their coats.

"…Ishikawa-san." Tsubasa spoke suddenly. "Is… Has… Shugo is alright then?"

"Hai. He has made friends quite well regardless of where we have been staying. Around a year ago he began seeing auras." Yamato nodded. From this conversation he deduced that there was no need for the siblings to be aware of Shugo's or his own future knowledge.

"Did he? That's strange. He did that accidentally once when he was six… We were at beach… for the last time all of us together." Tsubasa mused.

"Well, the awakening is quite unreliable. Otou-san said he was in his twenties when he began seeing auras. In the other hand you were eleven." Tsukasa shrugged. The three of them went outside and headed towards a park a couple of blocks away where the fireworks show would be.

When the fireworks were shooting up to the sky, Tsubasa pushed a camera to Yamato's hands.

"Take a photo of us. Given how the things are going, it might be the last." She explained. Yamato snapped a couple. The two siblings, smiling, with night sky and fireworks on the background just when the year was turning into new.

"Are you ever going to tell me who you met and why you had to leave in such a hurry all the way to Saitama to meet them?" Shugo asked for the nth time ash he heaved his heavy bag full ow warm clothes and stuff into the trunk of Yamato's car. It had been weeks since new year but Shugo hadn't relented in his questioning.

"Nope. And how did you know I went to Saitama?" Yamato asked back while finally helping the boy with the bag.

"You grumbled about not seeing the Shibazakura because it was the wrong season." The boy deadpanned.

"Heh, I complained about it to Tsubasa-san too." Mentally Yamato wondered how it was possible for Shugo be so alike to his mother without really having proper memories of her in this world. "Just give up, Shugo. I'm not going to tell you. At least not for a long time."

"Fine…" Shugo pouted and walked to the passenger side of the car and plunking himself on the front seat there. "Let's go already. Your car is freezing!"

"Oi, oi… I have you know, it's perfectly good car." Yamato protested. Shugo shot an unimpressed look at the man.

"I know for a fact that you've driven this car since you got your license at eighteen. Which was… eight years ago? You're twenty-six now, right?"

"And you are fifteen in two months!"

"That's hardly the point here now, is it? You've had this car for years and bought it second-hand even. By now this is a security hazard despite how much you fix this in-between maintenance visits. Not to mention that if they wanted, the organization could track you down with this car. I don't remember fixing your records and the license plate is the same one than the one when you picked me from that hill for the first time." The boy argued.

"…Fine. I start looking for a new car." The man sighed when he stopped the car in front of the gates of Kaihou Middle School. Shugo got out and retrieved his back.

"I want to see the results of your research when I come back on Sunday!" The boy told through the car, with his one hand ready to slam the trunk closed again.

"Hai, hai… Enjoy your skiing trip." Yamato yelled back. The trunk slammed closed and Shugo marched to the school yard where his class and two others were waiting next to the coach that would take the groups to the airport first from where they head to the location in Yamagata.

Yamato watched after the boy and slumped in his seat with a heavy sigh. He had no intention of telling the kid about his mother or the stuff surrounding his… relocation. The 'potential' and 'future knowledge' were tricky combination. Especially when there was the separation of the two. And now when Yamato really thought about it. Maybe it was the difference between the 'potential' and 'reality' that cause Shugo to de-age instead of some mistyping on the boy's part.

"Wait some more years… I'm sure by then you'll get your first hint. For now just concentrate on your sister…" Maybe he should go to check on Hoshi. Not to meet her but to see her. Just in case. With a decision made, Yamato twisted the key in the ignition again. The car coughed but obeyed its master's command.

"Yeah, maybe the kid was right. I need a new car…"

A/N: I has names! Kagemiya family has been formed officially now! I'll make a recap here for you guys.

Japan- Kyoto:
-Kagemiya Ki'ichi and Midorikawa Tsubaki
-their daughter Tsubame who married a Takenaka, 'Saya' will pose as their daughter.
-The twins Tsubasa and Tsukasa who don't really care/know which one is the older one.
-Tsubasa married Luukas(Lucas) Ahola
-and they had Lari Ahola/Kagemiya Daiki/Midorikawa Shugo
-and Jade Ahola/Kagemiya Hoshi/Okiya Tsukiko

Finland:
-Johannes Ahola and Saara Rutherford
-(Saara might be foreigner or half, but I'm not sure yet and frankly it doesn't matter)

Tsukasa will soon make an appearace in Dream or Not. It's a flashbackdream for Tsukiko though. At first I thought she'd get a first one just before meeting Shugo but then I realized that f*ck it I do what I want! And I want Tsukasa!
And as evidenced from the conversation between the twins and Yamato, there is two forms of Kagemiya 'curse'. The aura-seeing that Shugo and Tsubasa have and then there is the split personality thing that Tsukiko and Tsukasa have.

Right, time for...

Thank you very much! The meeting itself is a bit away in the main fic but I'm getting there. :) I'll continued doing my best with this fic no worries.

-TanteiConan1412:
Well, the update is here. I hope you like it. I try to keep up with the spoilers so I won't mess with the canon. I'm already feeling a bit awkward with Amuro's backstory(of which I included) but I keep my hopes high!

The next chapter is Yuki-Onna one. I promise. BTW, I really don't know where that case was. I guess Hokkaido but I can't find info from anywhere. Not even through searching the police inspector's prefecture!

And I still advertise the forum I created. Leaping into Dream it is. Don't be shy!
