This theme takes place after episode 78….I KNOW that lots and lots of people have done one-shot related to this , some with Rua dying and some without , but I just wanted to see what I can come up with .

So, as usual please please enjoy and provide me with feedback.

The life support machine beeped as it breathed for the small green-haired boy lying on the hospital bed. The doctor, a blond haired male, came in and surveyed him critically, before turning to the girl sitting at the boy's bedside.

"Ruka-san. Have your parents come back from London yet?"

The girl looked up at him, tugged absently at one of the green pigtails and said

"No, They haven't. Their latest job is really important." Ruka turned her attention back to her brother.

The doctor sighed.

"How is Rua-san then?"

"He squeezed my hand." The answer came back immediately. Too immediate. The doctor didn't believe her.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, I am sure. He's alive, doctor. Just lost."

"Well I don't think lost is the word. You do realise he's probably not going to be able to survive long without the machine- technically speaking , the fall caused injuries so fatal , he is already dead. It's only the insistence of the Fudo boy that has him here now."

"What are you getting at , doctor?"

"Well, normally we'd ask your carer to make a decision ….but there seems to be a lack of them now…so, do you want to turn off the life support machine?"

Ruka looked at her twin brother, friend, ally and hero lying on the bed. He was paler than normal, and to see him so still was a heartbreaker. Yet….

Do you want this, Onii-Chan? Do you want me to do this?

She took his limp hand in ….

If she switched off the machine, then she would have killed him. She remembered once, when Rua had told her that their parents had thought she was dead when she'd fainted as a 3 year old .Of course, Rua hadn't believed it.

And she didn't believe it either.

She turned to the doctor. Eyes blazing with a new determination.

"You are asking me to murder my twin. THAT will never, ever happen"

Hope you enjoyed this .Feedback please
