"What do you think?" Takashiro said turning to the other Zweilts.

"Do we have a choice?" Hotsuma asked looking pointedly at the other Zweilts.

"We won't force you," Jack snorted.

"I'll go," Yuki said standing up and looking back at Luka "as long as Luka can come."

"Of course," Adam said "we wouldn't separate you."

"Then we'll go," Tsukumo said and Toko stood beside him.

"Then we'll all go," Takashiro said.

"Gather up what you need," Adam said blunty "I'm not sure when or if you're coming back."

They shook their heads and at once turned around. Adam, Jesse, Lieslie, Jack, and Danny followed them and waited while they packed their stuff.

"Yuki you have everything?" Luka asked.

"Yes do you?" he looked into pale gray eyes. Luka's faced looked as unchanging as always but that little bit of softness it got whenever he was with Yuki.

"Yes," he said a slight smile playing at his lips knowing the question he was asking was out of love, he just needed to remember it..

"I'm scared," Yuki said "I don't want to lose anybody."

"What makes you think we will," Luka asked coming closer to him.

"You heard them," he answered "something big is coming. This could be the end. I don't want to lose anybody, especially you."

"We just have to do the best that we can," Luka said wishing. he could promise the boy that everyone would live but knowing it might very well be a lie.

"What if you die?" Yuki said shaking a bit at the thought.

"I'll try my hardest not to," Luka said wrapping his arms around Yuki carefully trying to avoid spooking him but Yuki just leaned back into Luka burrying his face into his chest.

"Let's go," Luka said.

"Okay," Yuki said and they got their bags and walked out of their room to the front of the Twilight mansion.

"Shusei," Hotsuma said "I don't trust them."

"Well Takashiro does so we don't have a choice," Shusei said "I don't think he'd trust anyone he shouldn't."

"That doesn't mean we should trust them," Hotsuma said putting his games in his bag before zipping it up and pulling Shusei towards him.

"They won't hurt you," he promised.

"I know you want to protect me but promise me one thing," Shusei said.

"What?" he asked.

"Even if I'm gone you won't give up on life," he said.

"I can't live without you," Hotsuma said putting his head in the crook of Shusei's neck.

"Yes you can," Shusei said.

"No," Hotsuma said "I won't stay here without you."

"Yes you will," Shusei said.

"Then you'll do the same for me," Hotsuma said looking down at Shusei.

"That's different," Shusei said.

"No it's not," Hotsuma said "if I can live without you, you can live without me."

"Okay," he said and pulled himself to Hotsuma, "but try to live as best as you can."

"I wouldn't do anything less for you," Hotsuma promised.

They stayed together for a while limbs tangled up on the bed. Hotsuma kept planting kisses on Shusei's neck and face and Shusei retaliated, kissing Hotsuma straight on the lips before standing up and zipping up his bag and taking Hotsuma's hand. They both walked silently to the front of the mansion knowing that this might be the very last time they were there.

Kuroto looked at the shogi board in the corner of his room. He'd just recently gotten into it again and now he was deciding if he should bring it with him again or not. They had just gotten the news that they'd have to be Zweilts again and this might be the biggest battle ever throughout history. He wanted to continue to play but knowing that'd he'd have to be a Zweilt again he knew he'd have to give it up. He looked up at Senshirou who had his bag on his lap as he looked back at Kuroto.

"Bring it," he said "you shouldn't give it up."

"But now that I'm a Zweilt aga-," he started.

"Who cares?" Senshirou said "You gotta keep practicing for when we're not needed anymore."

"I'll pick it up afterwards," Kuroto promised.

"No you won't be as good then," Senshirou argured "bring it."

"Yeah," Kuroto said "you're right."

He picked up the shoji board ans set it next to his things.

"It's going to be hard to take though," he said "it's so big." (A/N from what I've gathered from the internet a shogi board is pretty large, especially if you we're traveling with it)

"Don't worry," Senshirou siad "well get it there somehow. People can get a lot of weird things through these days."

"How are we even getting there?" Kuroto asked.

"I'm not totally sure," Senshirou said "but we'll bring it somehow."

"Okay," Kuroto siad before taking it and wrapping it in his clothes before setting it in his suitcase and zipping it closed.

"Senshirou," Kuroto said "I-."

"We've got to go," Senshirou said.

"Oh yeah lets go," Kuroto said.

"Toko-chan are you almost ready?" Tsukumo asked walking into his sister's room.

"Yeah I guess," Toko said looking around her room thinking about all the time she spent here. It would hurt to leave the one really good home she had. Of course she'd still have Tsukumo still but something about it still seemed so final and it was. They had no clue when or even if they would ever come home to the Twilight Mansion. She could live knowing she'd never come home but she didn't know if she could take it if Tsukumo or any of the other Zweilts didn't return but she did.

"We'll be fine," Tsukumo said hugging his sister. She looked to see his concerned eyes staring back at her.

"You heard him," Toko said "We might not come home. I couldn't take it if one of us didn't come home but I did."

"Then let's do our best to keep everyone alive," Tsukumo said and reached out his hand.

She grabbed her bag and took his hand. They walked out to the front of the Twilight Mansion for what could be the last time.
