Author's Note: Flames
I don't appreciate flames, I think they are rude. If you do send me a flame, however, I would warn you to be on the lookout for a certain white haired thief king with a flamethrower. Just a warning.
Review Reply:
As of right now, I only have one review. My response to whoever wrote it is: GIVE THE STORY A CHANCE, BAKA! It's only the first chapter, for goodness sakes! Once it gets further in, you will see (if you are even still reading it) exactly why it is a fanfiction! GOSH!
Anyway, now that that's over with, on with the story! PLEASE REVIEW! And please tell me of any mistakes and how I can fix them!
/Aragorn thinking/
Aldrea thinking
Chapter 2
Fire. A glowing red inferno. Usually we are entranced by it, hardly daring to move. It is enjoyable to watch… unless it is consuming your house.
Aragorn and Aldrea first thought of their brother, Mark, and their mother. Then their thoughts flew to Aragorn's cats, Aldrea's harp, Aragorn's violin, the immense gaming room their father had made for them, and a million other things.
Aldrea screamed, rushing to the house, but Arag stopped her.
"Look! Mom, Mark, and my cats are over there." he said, relief flooding through him. He dragged her over to them, a feat in itself, as she would not look away from the flames.
"Mom! Are you guys okay?"
"Hai, Aragorn, and Mark and your cats are fine too." She said, pulling the twins into a hug.
"How'd it start?" Drea said, regaining her wits.
"Someone set it, we think."
"Swomeone mwean." Mark added, his thumb in his mouth.
"What kind of a baka would…" Arag stopped, remembering the incident in the woods. He dropped his head, remembering Kousuke, and not wanting his family to see him cry.
"What is it, Nii-sama?" Mark said, pulling his thumb out of his mouth.
Aragorn did not answer, but instead turned to Drea. "Can you go play with Mark? I need to talk to Mom."
"Hai, Nii-sama." She knew instantly what he wanted to "talk" about. She took Mark away.
"Mum," Arag began, falling into the British accent which, strangely enough, came out when he was scared or stressed. "Er… you know Kousuke?"
"Hai, Arag, what is it? Did he ask you to watch Robertson?" His mother asked.
"Well, that's part of it… Oh, Mum, Kousuke's… dead."
His mother blinked a few times. "How?" She asked incredulously.
"Mum… he…" Arag was crying steadily now.
"Arag?" His mother was frightened. Sixteen year old boys don't usually cry, especially not her Arag.
"Oh Mum, I'd let Drea tell you, but she's rather frightened. I found him… beheaded, in the forest."
His mother looked horrified. "I… I let you play in there! I let Mark play in there! And there's a murderer in there?"
"Well, I doubt he's in there anymore…"
His mother glared at him.
"Sorry. But I think, and Drea does too, that it's them who set the fire."
She gaped at him, her mouth opening and closing wordlessly, like a fish. "Why the deuce would someone murder Kousuke, then set fire to our house?"
Arag thought for a moment, and then said, "Well, either he's crazy, or he's looking for something. Or," he added as an afterthought, "He's madly in love with Drea and he has a really weird way of showing it."
"I heard that!"
"'S why I said it!"
His mother gave him a glare she had picked up from his father.
"Whoa, Mom, for a second there I thought Dad was back from Tokyo. Watch where you point that glare!" Arag teased her.
She gave him another look, this time a sarcastic one.
"Well, one thing's for sure; you kids are never going in there again." She stated firmly.
"What about… the body?" Arag asked, suddenly serious.
"I suppose we could go get it…"
"Him." Arag interrupted.
"Hai, him. But after that, no one goes in."
"Hai, mum. But I think I should go wrap him up first, so you and Drea don't freak out."
"Hai. You go first."
----------------------------
Arag stood at the edge of the clearing, white sheet in his hand. He took a deep breath, then cautiously stepped forward. A twig snapped, causing his hand to fly to the hilt of his sword. He let out his breath as he realized it was just a squirrel. Still, he was glad his father had insisted on those fencing lessons. And glad he had left his sword in the hollow tree near his practice area.
He forced himself to look at the body. There were irises scattered around it. /Of course/ he thought/Eyes, Kyoko, and Rio would have come to see him, but left him here. Glad they left the irises, though./ He shuddered, then quickly draped the sheet over his friend. He whistled, the signal for his mom and Aldrea to come.
Aldrea carefully avoided the sight of the sheet. Arag and Drea lifted Kousuke onto the makeshift stretcher they had made. Aldrea started sobbing the instant she touched the limp figure.
"Do we need to tell those people he lives with?" the older woman asked dryly.
"They already know." He whispered, looking at the irises. "They already know."

Oh, poor Kousuke! -cries-
For those of you who haven't seen Spiral, I suggest watching all the episodes except the last one. Horridly disappointing ending.
For those of you waiting anxiously for Yu-Gi-Oh characters to appear, please be patient. They will come. And everyone, please review! I had 56 hits and 3 reviews on the last chapter!
