"His powers are out of control. We cannot continue to risk the lives of innocent students and civilians just to use Okumura Rin as an experiment." Yukio stood in front of the True Cross order. He knew exactly what they were referring too, but he never thought that it would have come to this. Rin had been training with Shura, learning to train his powers. In fact, he had gotten fairly good at it; excluding his recent outbreak which was the reason for this decision. Yukio wished to speak up for his older twin brother but couldn't find the words to say them; they were right anyway, he had no evidence to support himself.

"Okumura," Yukio looked up to the men sitting above him in the court style room. "You are to bring Okumura Rin to the interrogation room tomorrow at noon. He is not to know about this. And if he happens to find out what is happening, you will suffer the same fate as your brother." Yukio swallowed, everything he had lived for was now falling apart. Within 24 hours, everything would be gone.

"Hi!" Yukio was greeted by his older twin brother, reading a manga on his bed. Rin looked so happy; his ears were perked up, his tail was moving a little more than usual, and his face seemed just so much happier than usual.

"What's got you in such a good mood?" Yukio forced a smile as he took of his jacket and hung it on the coat rack.

"Well, Shiemi stopped by and it was just great to see her!" Rin sat up, putting his manga down. "We talked for a good 2 hours, but she had to go cause her mum needed her to help with the shop today."

"Ah, how's she doing?"

"Good!"

"Well tomorrow you need to do some more tests and another physical exam," Yukio cringed as he said it, his back towards his brother. The tests were to make sure everything was under control.

" But I just did one last week!"

"The results weren't clear so they need to redo it."

Rin sighed, knowing there was no point arguing. The tests and physical exam had become a regular thing for him now. Rin got up and walked over to Yukio, tapping him on the shoulder. The younger brother turned around to look at Rin.

"I need your advice."

"On what?"

"Girls are always all over you without you even trying, so how do you ask a girl out?"

"Shiemi?"

Rins face turned a bright red and he shifted his weight on his feet. Yukio couldn't take it anymore. He wrapped his arms around his older twin and dug his face into his shoulder and started to cry. He didn't want to loose his brother. He couldn't. Not after everything that they had gone through together. Rin was all that Yukio had left and was all that he lived for. Loosing Rin would mean loosing hope.

Shocked, Rin stood there, not knowing what to do. He put his arms around his crying brother, but didn't say anything. Yukio lost balance on his feet, but was held up by his brother, who slowly lowered both of themselves down to sit on the ground.

"Yuko what's wrong..?" Rin hadn't seen Yukio like this for a long time now. Not even when Father Fujmoto had died. He tried to think of something that would make him this upset but he couldn't think of anything. Rin clutched his brother close, letting his brother cry. He rubbed his back and put one hand onto his brothers head. Rin placed his head beside Yukio's and closed his eyes.
