Bound: So yeah I decided to write another chapter, and weigh the response to see wether or not I finish. It used to be that I didn't care if I got reviews or not but I don't want to continue with a story that no one is reading.

In the few seconds that it took for Kouji to reach his brother, so many thoughts were going through Kouichi's head. He had been so impulsive about coming to see Kouji. The other boy was so mad at him the other night...had he really been wrong for worrying? Maybe Kouji was right and he should just leave it alone. Standing next to Lo there was a sudden pain in his hand.

"Ow!" Lo as if sensing is thoughts was staring at him. 'You must be worried about him too...' Leaning next to the animal he let out a whisper. "Don't worry, Lo. I wan let us loose Kouji." He patted the the dog's head softly.

"Kouichi..." His head snapped up.

"Kouji..."

"You live with the guy and you didn't know there were two of them? Wow and you guys say I'm oblivious!" Daisuke slapped Ken's back, laughing.

"Daisuke, just because Kouji lives with us doesn't mean his brother does." Ken said this in his special 'Daisuke is an idiot and we must talk slow and clear for him' voice.

"Huh? But that doesn't make any sense." ...Which apparently didn't work all too well.

"Why not?"

Neither of thim had noticed Takeru standing next too Ken. He had turned away from his friends and was watching the twins across the field. Daisuke muttered and oops and was about to say something more before Ken elbowed him in the side. Matt was on tour nowdays so they hardly ever saw eachother. Even before that they had been living in seperate homes so Tk didn't often like being reminded of his brother.

Kouichi stood up and faced his brother. Kouji's hand reached towards his brothers arm...but any moment they were about to have was completely ruined. Just as he was about to grab hold of his brother Kouji was tackled by Lo and licked to death. Well not to death, but if Rika hadn't pulled the dog of he probably wouldn't still be here. Laughing the boys' aunt pulled the excited dog aside.

"Come now puppy, let's give the boys' their space ok?" A small bark came in agreement." Come to car when you're ready. Lee is waiting to take Kouichi home so not too long now!"

" Nii-san..." The younger twin bowed his head down. He didn't want Kouichi to see the look on his face. He reached out and grabbed onto his arm tightly. "What are you doing here?"

" I, I wanted to check on you Kouji...are you going to stay mad at me?"

"Go home, Kouichi." He said this quietly.

"What? Kou-"

"I said go home!" He said it louder this time

"Kouji I told you I don't think you're crazy I'm just worried about you. Why wont't you talk to me. Brother?" His words caused the younger to look up, because there were tears in his voice.

"Kouichi...leave please. I can't stop just because you want me too. It helps me so much, do you understand 'Nii-san? I would be dead by now if I didn't have this release. What can I do to make everyone understand that?"

"Can't I help you? Can't I do anything for you?"

"No"

"I...I see... bye then Kouji." He gave a weak smile and turned towards the car. He told his aunt Kouji was staying a little longer and they headed back to where the kids' dad was waiting. The whole ride he didn't speak a word, but Rika couldn't help but glance worridly at him from time to time.

"Sorry 'Nii-san, lately all I seem to do his hurt you..." Reaching down Kouji raked his fingernails over his ankle harshly, feeling old wounds reopen. " But if we're not together, I can't do that."
