There was a long pause, filled with tension. No one was moving a muscle. The black haired girl, who looked about 14, stood with a smug grin on her face, arms folded over her chest as Kaoru stared at her, mouth agape, Hikaru clinging tightly to his arm.

Minutes passed before anyone spoke. But finally the silence was broken by Kaoru sighing heavily and rubbing his forehead with the hand not being clung to by his lover.

'Why is it I can't run away anywhere without bumping into supposedly dead relatives or friends?'

At this Hikaru's eyes widened and he tugged on Kaoru's sleeve, Kaoru completely ignoring him of course.

'Well sorry that I'm not dead enough for your liking, my dear stiefbruder.'

Kaoru simply grunted in reply but Hikaru however, being extremely confused by the current situation felt the need to voice his distress.

'What - if you don't mind my asking, mysterious girl in alley who Kaoru apparently knows - is a stiff? Brooder?'

'Stiefbruder? Sie sprechen kein Deutch?' The look that spread across Hikaru's face sent the girl into a fit of giggles.

Turn so he could whisper into his lover's ear, Kaoru placed a small kiss on his cheek before explaining.

'Stiefbruder means step brother, honey.'

'Wait! What? Step brother!'

'Yeah. After my mum died my dad remarried some witch…'

~o~o~

'Kaoru. Come in and talk to your new mother and sister. You have not spoken to anyone in a whole week.'

'Hmm. That was the intention father. I am not so stupid as to carry through with tasks aimlessly.'

Sharp skin on skin contact followed, leaving behind a stinging pain.

'It's rude to keep ladies waiting, son. I suggest you speak to them now. Or living with them will prove very difficult.'

'Living with you is already enough of a challenge father.'

Nevertheless Kaoru made his way from the grass outside, into the house. Upon entering he nodded toward a tall woman of around 30 with thick black hair, pulled into a tight up do. She wore a long dark green dress and a green shawl draped over her shoulders. Next to her sat a smaller and younger girl who seemed around the same age as Kaoru himself. She wore a peach dress with a matching shawl and had hair like her mother, only left to frame her face rather than pulled up.

He father had followed him in and noticed Kaoru didn't bow, therefore prodded him in the back. Kaoru scowled but bowed none the less.

'Kaoru, Darling!' The tall woman said sounding overly cheerful. 'I don't believe we've met! I'm Frieda but you can call me mother! And this is my daughter, and your step sister, Kitty! I'm sure you two will get along perfectly!'

~o~o~

'Whatever persuaded my father to marry someone like her is beyond my reasoning.'

'Don't you talk about my mother that way!'

The darkest of expressions crossed Hikaru's face and he let out a low growl in the direction of Kitty. It actually took the girl a bit by surprise.

'Let…Kaoru…finish…the…story…!'

Kitty nodded in shock and Kaoru sighed continuing his story purely for the sake of his confused loved one.

~o~o~

'So…you're Kaoru? My mother told me a lot about you. Of course only what she heard from your father. Apparently you were handsome. Something must have gotten lost in the passing of information.' Kitty snickered and Kaoru hissed under his breath.

'You won't want to anger me, Kitty. I'm not exactly a regular human. I will rip out your heart and tear it to shreds without a second thought. In case you haven't already realised in the past 10 minutes we've known each other, but I don't like you.'

'Well you can try to eat my heart but be prepared for me removing all sense of feeling and movement from her body leaving you temporarily paralysed.'

It now occurred to Kaoru that just as he was not a regular human, neither was his new stepsister. He had known from the moment his father announced he would remarry that any siblings he had would be the cause of a long lasting feud within the family. However, now that his new sibling had revealed herself to be a young witch, things would only be twice as tense. In fact, if anything it would be far more entertaining than he had imagined.

~o~o~

'So anyway, when I went crazy and burnt the city down, I had assumed that I killed the three of them along with the majority of the population. I guess I was wrong…'

'Yes you were wrong. I had predicted this so we managed to escape the country in time. And now unfortunately for you, not only do you have your old lover-'

'Aleksander was never my lover.'

'-and you stepsister wanting to kill you, but you father and stepmother too. And guess what?' Kitty giggled. 'They're all working together!'

Another long pause. Another long moment of silence and tension.

'Kitty. I have an idea. Remember the games we used to play when we were younger?'

'Why of course. How could I forget the many times we both nearly killed each other?'

'Well I propose a challenge. No. A game.' A sly grin spread across Kaoru's face as Hikaru stood and watched his lover and the girl. 'We'll call it…the suicide game.' A similar grin spread across the child like face of Kitty.

'And the rules?'

'I will not kill you, just as you will not kill me. But should we reach a point in this feud where either of us is defeated, the loser will kill themselves.'

'Sounds like a plan. I will be sure to tell the rest of the army.' She then winked before taking her leaving, sauntering off into the shadows.

Long paused were becoming a regular occurrence recently. Now it was Hikaru's turn to break the silence.

'What the hell are you thinking Kaoru! Why a suicide game? I bet they won't even play by the rules! And didn't she just say army!' Out of air from the ranting Hikaru slumped against a cold alley wall, sliding down to the ground.

Kaoru threw his leg over his lover's waist, and lowered himself down so he was straddling the human. Placing small kisses along Hikaru's neck he whispered in his smooth and bittersweet voice.

'Life is a game, honey. Play by the rules and you don't get hurt. Break the rules however…and it's your funeral…'

Ooohhhhh! Kk so this chapter had everything didn't it! Flashbacks, stupid Hikaru, confuzzling quotes from Kaoru,a half lime, alleyways! The only thing it didn't have was a lemon, gore and a jealous Hikaru!
