There was something very ominous about this day.

"Hey Kaoru, what's wrong?", asked Syo.

"I feel weird"

"Is that one of our 'strange premonitions'?"

"Yes", he nodded, "Like… A déjà vu, but being slight different"

"Hum…"

"Sorry, I'm not making sense right?", he laughed.

"No, I feel pretty weird too", Syo shook his head, "Just… Not as bad as you I guess"

"Ugh, I just wish we could solve this whole mystery already"

"Me too", he said touching the barrettes on his hair.

"Hum? You're still wearing this after all these years?"

"What can I say? It's my favorite", eh shrugged.

And someone else too…

"Hum?", he blinked.

"What's wrong Syo?"

"Nothing", he replied, "…Let's just go and cut the cake with everyone alright?"

"Right"

'My headache is killing me', Kaoru flinched as the pain struck him.

'It wasn't supposed to be only me; he should've been here, commemorating our birthday today'

"What was that?", he blinked when he heard the voice, strangely similar to his.

"Oy Kaoru"

"S-Sorry! I'm going!"

-00-

"Ah! I'm full! It was good right?"

"Y-Yeah"

"…Kaoru, are you ok?", asked Syo feeling concerned, "You're are acting strange since you woke up!"

"N-No I don't think…"

'It doesn't feel right'

'What doesn't feel right?'

'Who are you?'

'I'm… Your pain got my attention, I'm an entity that can grant wishes'

'Is that so?', his voice held a hint of disbelief, '… I wish my brother didn't die'

'To have this wish granted you have to survive and escape my cursed place', said the strange man, 'Would you be up to it if it means that you can save your brother?'

"These memories…", mumbled Kaoru, his eyes widening a he felt a rush of images coming to him.

'Today mark the day that you made your wish, that's why your memory will be unlocked now'

He passed out.

"What's happening?!", asked Syo, crouching down, trying to wake his twin, "Kaoru?! Ugh…!"

Why he felt a sudden pain on his head?

His vision blacked.

-00-

It has been a week since then, and while he woke in the next day the same couldn't be said about his brother.

But what worried him the most was the strange scratches and scars that appeared on Kaoru's body everyday he checked him.

"Ugh! Why these weird things happens to us?", he started to curse, "And not only this!"

He picked his bag and took the small box with an orb on the top.

He wondered who was the man that gave him the box and how was he related to the mysterious girl he once met and why the girl was involved with their problems.

"Haruka…", he mumbled touching the blue barrettes.

He finally remembered her, he didn't know why, but he was glad as it meant that at least they had a clue about who they should search for.

'As soon as Kaoru wakes up I going to tell him'

The orb in the top of the box glowed.

"Hum?", he blinked as the orb got a blue color, opening the lid by itself, inside, resting two beautiful pendants with blue sapphires.

He picked the pendants with interest, looking closely as some mysterious light shone in one of them.

Without thinking and following a inexplicable urge he put one of the blue pendants around his neck while the glowing one was put in Kaoru's.

The pendant in his brother's neck shone brightly before the light faded away and the teen wearing it started to twitch.

"Kaoru!", called Syo, feeling relief wash him when his brother finally opened his eyes, staring the ceiling.

His twin looked in his way, furrowing his brows in confusion as if he didn't recognize him.

"Who are you? And why you look exactly like me?"

What?

"Being in a coma for a week melted your brain? It's me! Your twin brother! Syo!"

"Syo?", he sat looking more confused, "That's not possible, you were supposed to be death in the day that we were born"

Kaoru blinked a few times, wondering why he considered the thing in front of him his brother.

That didn't make any sense.

He took a deep breath, closing his eyes, trying to organize his thoughts.

The last thing he remembered was the room with paintings, and how he kissed a girl with stunning gold eyes as both promised to see each other again.

'I wish that my brother lived in the day we were born', he heard his own voice.

Oh… Now he remembered everything, he mad a wish to bring his brother back to life and beat the cursed riddles and dangers of the strange entity's mansion.

He looked at the teen in front of him, a boy that had the same face and looks, albeit being slight shorter.

'I saw your brother he… Looks shorter', an amused girl voice rang in his head.

"Ok, now why are you smiling?", asked Syo arching an eyebrow.

"So my wish was really granted", Kaoru laughed, trembling as he couldn't believe it.

"…What are you talking about? You're acting weirder than the normal"

"You won't believe me", he shook his head, "Ah! Sorry for saying strange things, I finally remembered, the two set of memories"

"Kaoru", Syo crossed his arms, "Just spill it, strange things happens to us so often that I wonder what I won't believe"

"Well then…", he hesitated.

He told everything from the beginning, how in the past when they were born his brother was a stillborn while he could live a healthy life and how much he regretted it, as if he stole it from him.

Each birthday he wished that he was alive and only in his 16th birthday that his wish was granted.

"Let me get this straight", Syo paused, "You told this stranger that you would agree to do anything to have your wish granted and you accepted it?"

"Well, he did warm me that I would be in danger, have a curse placed on me and that I may die", Kaoru shrugged, "Besides, I kind of didn't believe him"

"Are you out of your mind?!", Syo said with an angry voice, "If a guy like that told these kind of things I would have called the police!"

"Yes, the thought of him being a lunatic did cross my mind", Kaoru nodded, "But as soon as I agreed I was teleported to a strange mansion with a lot of dangers lurking around"

"The scars in your arms have something to do with that?"

"Ah! Yes, one of them was when a doll slashed with a sword", he nodded, "Thanks to Haruka I managed to survive a lot of obstacles"

"Haruka?", he blinked.

"Yes, I met her in this cursed place", he said with a fond smile, "…No, to be honest, she was the one that found me and rescued me"

He remembered the time they first met, her beautiful face showing fear and relief, he frail body trembling, probably because of the scary things she met along the way.

Was she alright now? Did she miss him? Where was she now?

"You fainted the first time you met Haruka, how do you know her?", asked Syo arching an eyebrow while his brother stared him with a curious look before his eyes lit.

"Ah! But that day wasn't the first time I met her", he shook his head, "Like I said, I met her in this cursed place and with her help we both escaped"

"When it happened?"

"After my 16th birthday and after I wandered the place for a while"

"But we had our 16th birthday one week ago!"

"… I don't understand how it works", he shook his head, feeling a headache coming, "Let's… Just say it's magic and that's it, time travel is complicated"

"…"

They fell into a silence, as both tried to process the recent revelations.

"Hum… By the way Syo", Kaoru's gaze flickered to the box in his hands that was curiously closed, "What's this box?"

"This?", Syo showed the box, "I don't know, the day you brought me on the hospital I met a tall blond guy that gave me this weird box"

"Weird tall… Oh!", his eyes widened when he remembered that the man was carrying a bag similar to the one's that he gave to Haruka and he found inside the small book with the Blue's tale, "I remember him! He had the bag that I gave to Haruka!"

"Hum? Do you think that he may know or met her?"

"It's a probability!"

"Hum… I see…", he mumbled, "I think… I remembered he saying that his name was Shinomiya Natsuki"

"Ah you have his name? Great! Maybe we should search for him!"

As soon as he said that the pendants that they were wearing started to shine again (with Kaoru wondering when he put that pendant), briefly changing the color to a purple as the orb in the box changed to the same color.

"What…?", they both stared dumbfounded, holding the purple jewel and looking at the box.

Syo put a hand on the orb while his other held the pendant, and to his surprise a map glowed on the air, with a shine amethyst in a place while two sapphires were in other.

"What is that amethyst on the map?", blinked Kaoru, staring at the map.

"I don't know, but it must be a clue!"

The brothers nodded to each other.
