Kaito and Hitomi sat in their fort. Nobody they could pickpocket had come by the fence, so they were utterly bored. They laid down on the blankets together, staring at the sheets of tin that made up their roof.

"Hitomi," Kaito said softly.

"What?"

"Nanami hasn't come today," he said. "She came every other day this week. Do you think she's mad?"

Hitomi sighed. "No. Just no school today."

"We still haven't started school," Kaito commented.

"Mommy's been busy."

"Why do we need school anyway?" Kaito grumbled.

"So we can be smart," Hitomi said, examining the outline of her hand against the roof.

"For what?"

Hitomi was quiet. "Don't know."

It was silent for a few minutes.

"What are you gonna do when we're all grown up?" Hitomi asked her brother.

"I know what I'll do," Kaito said. "I know for sure."

Hitomi rolled onto her side so that she could look at her twin. "How do you know for sure?"

"I see the future," Kaito said, grinning.

"Liar," Hitomi said, punching his shoulder.

The boy giggled in a manor that was all to close to his father.

"But really," Hitomi continued. "What you wanna do?"

"Well, we're going to stick together," Kaito said definitively. "You and me. Always."

"Right," Hitomi said, nodding. "Cause we're brother and sister."

Kaito nodded. "Yeah. So wherever we go, we go together."

"Where are we gonna go?" Hitomi asked, laying on her stomach and kicking her feet in the air.

"Well, half way 'round the world of course," Kaito said, looking at his sister like the answer should've been obvious.

"Really?" Hitomi asked, eyes lighting up. "What are we gonna see half way 'round the world?"

"New York," Kaito said confidently.

"What's that like?" Hitomi asked.

"Tall buildings and bright lights," Kaito replied.

"That's just like here," Hitomi whined.

"No, it's better," Kaito said. "You'll see when we get there."

"How are we going to get there?" Hitomi asked.

"We're gonna cross the sea," Kaito said, red eyes aglow.

"Wow," Hitomi said. "We're gonna cross the sea together?"

Kaito nodded.

"I can't wait."
