"It is about time Oliver. We were starting to think that you would never come." Naru turned around to find someone standing within the shadows, blocking him for seeing their face. Stepping into the moonlight he relieved a pale faced, dark blue eyed, raven black haired boy. Naru's eyes widened as he saw the person standing in front of him. It was as if some had placed a mirror in front of him. Gene? No, that's not possible. Naru tried to wrap his brain around the concept of his brother being alive and standing there in front of him, as if he had never died. Died?

Naru's eyes narrowed. "Who are you?" he asked sternly. He watched as Gene looked at him confused. "What do you mean? I'm your brother, who else would I be?"

"My brother died three years ago. If you were really him you wouldn't look eighteen, you would look fifteen." This caught Gene off guard. His confused look turned to anger.

"I told you we should have made him look younger." said a voice. Naru watched as a little girl came running out of the shadows towards Gene.

"Well I guess it's too late now." said a different voice and before Naru knew it, a little boy was standing in the place of were Gene was. "But don't worry sister; I shall make it up to you."

"Oh brother you don't have to do that." Getting a better look at the two children Naru noticed that they were twins. They both had black hair and bright blue eyes, which could be seen in the darkness of rooms. The two children faced each other, completely unaware of Naru.

"You are too kind, sister." said the little boy. Naru stared at the two children, disgusted by what he was seeing. Thinking that this little serrate was over he turned around and started to walk down the hall.

"Brother, he is leaving." said the little girl. Naru continued walking, ignoring the two. "If you don't want to die, I suggest you come back here." yelled the little boy. Seeing that his warning did not work the boy took the girl's hand and pulled in her into the darkness behind them.

"Naru?" said a voice. Naru stopped when he saw Mai walking towards him. He had to admit that they had talent. "Enough of this petty game. I'm going to bed."

"Petty game?" Mai whispered as she saw Naru walk past her. Tears began to fill her eyes and before she knew it she was crying. Naru stopped when he heard her sobs. He couldn't bare it. Mai covered her face with her hands as she fell to her knees crying, and shaking. Naru took a deep breath to calm himself. "Fine you have my attention." He said turning around to face Mai. She stopped shaking as she removed her hands from her face.

"Now was that so hard?" Mai's hair started to grow out, turning to a darker brown, then to a black. Her light brown eyes grew cold as they turned lighter. Standing up she started to shrink. All within a few seconds Naru watched as Mai transformed into the little girl from earlier. "Brother look I did it!" she yelled with a huge smile. A boy walked out from behind Naru and over to his sister. "Very good sister!"

"Thanks you brother." She said as she tried hard not to jump up and down like a little girl. The only light in the hallway were though from the moonlight that shined through the windows. The boy walked over to her and grabbed both of her hands. "You look beautiful in the moonlight." He whispered to her. She smiled up at him as she placed a hand of his cheek, whispering "and you." Naru tried to hard not to turn around and walk away, leaving the two to themselves, but he was afraid that the girl might try to copy Mai again. Even though he knew that it wasn't really Mai, he still had this aching pain in his chest when he heard her cry.

"If you two are done, I would appreciate it if you told me why I am needed." Naru interrupted. The two children turned to look at him.

"Shall we tell him sister?"

"I don't think we shall brother. He sure has no patience. "

"But the fact that he has no patience is the very reason we brought him out here, was it not sister?"

"Yes it was brother, but I think it shall not hurt, if he learns some before we continue, don't you think?" The girl looked up at her brother, who was steadily watching Naru. To him, Naru was getting tenser by the minute, meaning that he was also losing control of his temper. The boy chuckled. "I think you are right, though I do have one question that has not yet been answered. Which is he?"

"I shall think he is the older of the two, but they look so alike, I cannot tell." said the girl looking over Naru.

"Then shall we ask him?" the brother asked. Naru was starting to get annoyed with the two.

"Am I the older of what?" he asked, hoping to get somewhere. As of the moment, it was two in the morning, in the middle of the winter and he was freezing as he stood here in the empty hallway.

"He is getting impatient again brother." She whispered moving closer to her brother.

"I am aware of that. Maybe if we give him a minute to calm down, then he shall." The brother whispered back.

"I have had enough of these silly games. If you have nothing important to say to me then I am going to bed." Naru said turning around and started to walk away.

"Silly games?" the brother asked before the sister asked. "Nothing important to say?" Naru stopped, hoping they would move on to something important, but he wasn't expecting the next line. "How can we be playing silly games, if we have yet to give you the rules and how is it we have nothing important to say to you if we have said nothing at all?"

Naru turned around to face the twins. "I'm not playing your stupid games." Naru turned and as he was about to walk away he heard the little girl say "Not even if those stupid games involve Mai Taniyama?"

Naru froze. Hearing that little girl say Mai's name like that angered him more then anything. Slowly he turned around as the air in the hallway started to thicken. A faint glow started to form around him. "Don't you ever threaten me with Mai again." Naru said as the wind started to pick up.

"Or what?" asked the brother calmly. The little girl moved closer to her brother and whispered. "I'm scared." The boy looked down at his sister to see her start to shake, her eyes transfixed on Naru.

"Oliver stop!" Naru looked away from the two children to see who had called him. His eyes widened. Standing there in front of him was his dead twin brother Gene. He looked exactly the same way he did before he had died. His piercing blue eyes were a shade lighter, and his skin more pale. What surprised Naru the most was his expression which was panic. That's when Naru realized what was happening. He took a deep breath to calm himself. The light around him started to fade along with the tensions that had hung in the air.

"Gene?" It was only a whisper but it didn't go unheard. He watched as his brother slowly nodded. Naru took a step closer, unsure of what to do.

"Oliver you need to turn around and walk away. You need to get Mai and get her out of here. I don't care how far you have to go but don't ever come back to this place." Gene said.

"What are you talking about?"

"Noll listen to me-"

"Gene what's going on?"

"Noll you're-"

"Enough!" yelled the little boy. He turned around to face Gene. "If you don't keep quiet you are going to ruin the game."

"I don't care." Gene yelled at the boy. The little girl turned around and slapped Gene. "Don't you ever talk to him like that!" Naru tried to yell at her but he couldn't speak. He couldn't move. Naru struggled against the invisible force as Gene just stood there shocked.

"Now that we got that cleared." The little boy turned to see Naru glaring at him with passion. "Don't look at me like that." Seeing that Naru wasn't listening to him he decided that it was about time to move on. Sighing he said. "Now that we have you attention I might as well explain the rules. They are very simple. First you shall not tell anyone about this. Second you shall not have any contact with your brother what so ever. Third if you try to run we shall kill you. Any questions?" Naru did in fact have one but the fact that he could not speak kept him from asking it. "Good now that we got that straight what are we missing?" The little girl looked up at him and thought about it for a moment.

"Nothing that I can think of." She said. "Oh I know! We forgot to tell him the game!"

"Oh yes you are right. What would be the point of this if he didn't know what it was?" This little boy smiled down at his sister. "Why don't you tell him sister?"

"I couldn't do that!" she said, blushing a little. "Why don't we both tell him?"

"That's a great idea!" The little girl turned to face Naru who was still glaring at the two of them.

"You have to choose between"

"Your brother Eugene Davis"

"Or Mai Taniyama."

"What?" Naru said aloud. That's when he realized he could talk and move again.

"Its pretty simple." said the girl. "You have to choose which one you want to keep, your brother or your lover." That's when the little girls face lit up as she began to giggle. "That rhythms! Brother lover brother lover brother lover."

"And what would make you think that I would do that?" Naru asked still trying to wrap his brain around it.

"You don't have a choice. In seven two hour we will ask you again and if you don't answer you lose them both."

"What happens if I pick Mai?"

"Then you never see Gene again.

"and if I pick Gene?"

"Mai dies."
