A/N: Hey everyone! Thanks to Anonymas, Austin, and Berserker Luke for reviews!

Now, for those who either dislike songfics or don't particularity like the character songs, this entire story will NOT be a songfics. There will be two or three more chapters of with songs in it, and then it will change. If you don't want to read these chapters then skip ahead.

By the way, I tried multiple times to make the spacing between the song and their words larger so it would be easier to read, but since I couldn't, if anyone wants me to try again for the songfics chapters, just tell me.

Text like this is song lyrics/ dialogue that's within the song

S/M means both Shion and Mion

S means Shion

M means Mion

A picture appeared with an image of Shion and Mion in Angel Mort uniforms holding trays in their hands. They looked excited and smiled toward the screen.

"M: Happy Birthday, Shion!

S: You too, sister! Somehow it feels very new.

M: Um, yes. I think that too. Like wishing that we were more normal.

S: Stop! Mion hang in there! I'll keep doing my best too!"

Keiichi scoffed. "Like you have, or ever will be normal."

"Keiichi! Shi-chan and Mi-chan are perfectly normal!" said Rena, a tad upset that Mion and Shion thought they weren't normal.

The twins smiled in thanks to Rena, then focused back on the screen.

M: Open your eyes, it's time to learn a secret. There must be some reason we're here

"Does anyone else realize that what Mi-chan said sounds sorta like what's happening to us now?" said Satoko.

They all looked at her. "H-hey! That doesn't mean anything! It's just a coincidence!"

S: Close your eyes and bury the lies deep inside. There must be freedom somewhere that's not here.

Shion looked upset at that. She had to spend most of her life away from her sister and always wanted to be free.

M: The two are like a mirror.

S: A broken mirror.

M: the head and tail of a coin.

S: Back-to-back

M: A strange fate.

S: An ill omen.

S/M: Why were we born as two?

"I'm sorry both of your lives were so hard." Shion and Mion looked at Rika in surprise.

"Why're you apologizing? It's not your fault." said Shion.

"Someone needs to apologize and since no one else will, why can't I?"

The twins hesitated before saying "Thank you."

"Hey, I can apologize too!" said Satoko, Keiichi and Rena.

The twins laughed and thanked everyone foe their concern, but assured them they were fine and their concern was unneeded.

S/M: Why is it that our most precious things are the first to disappear?

M: Only sad events seem to increase.

S/M: Even when I love so much I can't reach.

S: Only problems seem to increase.

M: As our minds become agitated.

S: They only cross paths.

S/M: Birthday!

"What is this song about? Our birthday? Our lives?" asked Mion, who was getting aggravated.

"Maybe it's about you two looking over your lives on your birthday. There was so much heartache, but since it's your birthday, you're trying to be happy." said Rika in a sad tone.

Keiichi sighed. "These songs are all going to be depressing, aren't they?"

"I bet mine will be very happy!" chirped Rena.

M: Accept everything and please smile! Don't pursue the reason. It's all in vain.

S: Leave the loose red strings in the dark forest. Don't pursue freedom, it'll only end in tears.

Shion frowned. "I'm starting to think it's not about us being separated."

Mion nodded. "Maybe at first, but now it's definitely something else."

M: The two are like puppets.

S: Like broken puppets.

M: Haunted by demons.

S: Losing determination.

M: Look the same blood.

S: Flows in us.

S/M: So the two were birds in a cage

"Definitely not about being separated. What do demons have anything to do with it?" asked Shion.

"Could this be about the syndrome?" inquired a thoughtful Mion.

"Why do we keep coming back to that? None of us have ever had it, right?" asked Keiichi. Everyone shook their heads. "Then maybe these songs are just playing with our heads."

Rena spoke up. "But what if they're not?" No one could answer.

S/M: Why is it so I want to destroy everything precious first.

M: Cry out, until it becomes strange.

S/M: Even though we look the same, we're still different.

S: We try to confirm that by hurting each other.

"We've never hurt anyone!" protested Mion and Shion.

"Maybe you were right before, Mion." said Rika. "If either of you ever had the syndrome, maybe you hurt the other without realizing."

The twins looked at Rika in surprise and shock. Rika saw their faces and quickly added, "I'm not saying you did, but it's a possibility that can't be turned away."

"I hate to say it, but Rika's right. You guys saw how Takano acted." Even though the twins looked a bit sick at being compared to Takano, they had to admit he was right.

M: As our minds become agitated.

S: It only brings disaster.

S/M: Last day!

"Last day? Last day of what?" asked Satoko, becoming fearful.

M: No! Please don't kill anyone else! If you hate me, then just kill me!

Everyone looked at Mion, but she looked just as shocked.

"Sis," Mion looked at Shion. "do you know what's going on?"

"O-of course not! I've never begged for another's live and I definitely never asked anyone to kill me!"

S: Ahaha! You know how to scream well don't you? I was sick of your awkward, false impressions too!

"Shion-nee, why?" asked Mion on the verge of crying. Rika, who still sat next to her, put a comforting arm on hr.

"Mion, I swear I've never hurt anyone! I would never hurt you or anyone else!"

"That idea of yours more likely now Keiichi." said Rena.

"Even if I was sick, I wouldn't hurt anyone, especially Mion." Shion was crying at the whole scenario. "Besides, someone would be there and bring me back to my senses!"

"When you're sick, you're not in your right mind." Everyone looked at Rika. "You would hurt anyone you thought was suspicious or possibly in your way." Rika looked down, upset at the others' misfortune.

"But-but I've never been sick!" argued Shion.

"You will find out after the video." said a voice. They recognized it as the voice from the head they saw when they first turned on the television.

M: Sister please! I don't care if I die, please, please!

S/M: I want to destroy everything precious first. Even though we're still the same, we're still different.

"Of course you're different! Shion is much kinder than Mion. She would never hit me unless it's that bad. Ow!" Mion and Shion had smacked Keiichi on the arm.

S/M: Our most precious things are the first to disappear.

M: Only sad events seem to increase.

S/M: Even when I love so much I cannot reach

S: Only problems seem to increase.

M: As our minds become agitated.

S: They only cross paths.

S/M: Birthday!...Last day!...Birthday!

M: If then I had been given the doll properly, perhaps nothing would have gone wrong.

"There's that mention of a doll again." noticed Keiichi.

"Maybe Satoshi's song and our song are connected." said Shion.

"All thee of you couldn't have been sick!" exclaimed Satoko.

"And yet, it'd the perfect explanation." Said Mion, then looked at Shion. "Did you ever get sick when you were younger and stayed sick for more than a few days?"

Shion thought for a minute. "…No. The longest I was sick was when I got the flu for two days, and I definitely don't remember any dolls from Satoshi."

Mion nodded. "Same here. I'm sure we would have realized if we had had the syndrome."

"Takano didn't realize she had it and she's the one who studied and analyzed the disease." pointed out Rika.
