Sorry that the first time I posted this chapter words were missing, here is the right version.


Kai sat in the kitchen looking at his wife who was reading a story to Mei. Could Hikaru be right? Did she really have cancer or had he lied? No, it couldn't be true. How could Hikaru know about this before everyone else did? Still he couldn't silence his doubts and his fear to use her. What if he is right and this is the only way to save her?

Saya came down the stairs shouting: "I'm ready, we can go." They were planning to visit a friend for a barbecue.

"You should take a jacket", Kai said with a look at her thin blouse. She nodded and went back upstairs.

After searching the boxes and drawers in her room for a couple of minutes Saya found a nice green jacket with orange flowers attached to it. She pulled it over and returned to Kai.

When Kai saw her his eyes widened as if something important had come up to his mind. "Give me that jacket!" he ordered hastily.

"Why?", asked his sister confused.

"I will explain it later. Just give me that damn jacket!" As soon as he had gotten it he took scissors and starting to cut off a flower from the left sleeve.

"Kai, why are you doing this?" Saya's confusion was growing every second.

Kai took a deep breath and started to talk, still going on with the cutting: "It was when they had their disagreement…the twins and Hikaru…One day Hibiki came home very late. In her jacket was a long rip and there was some blood. She said she had got caught by a sharp nail. At that time I believed her and Monique sewed the flowers onto the jacket to cover the rip. However now I am not so sure about her story anymore. "

When the flower was removed Saya could see the rip in the sleeve. Kai used a nail to damage the fabric and had obvious problems with doing so. What came out of it looked more like big hole than like a sharp-edged rip. When he tried to make the damage with a sharp knife, it looked a lot more similar.

Kai hesitated for a moment, than he whispered: "He stole it! They had a fight and he did hurt her to get her blood and make himself a Chevalier."

Everyone in the room was shocked and nobody said a word. Then it was Kai again who broke the silence: "He is a liar and not to be trusted. I'm afraid what he is planning will hurt the twins. We should give them a better guardian. Who knows what he might do to them."

Only a minute late Saya, Kai, Monique, Mei and the two Chevaliers where sitting in the car, driving towards the crypt. They scurried up the stairs to find what they had feared, but half expected: the twins where gone.
