"Kurai."  Keshiki walked toward his twin brother.  They were so alike except for Kurai's raven black hair which he wore long.

"What is it?"  Kurai turned to his twin impatiently.

"What do you intend to do with Kurama?"

Kurai turned his back against Keshiki.  There was a wide grin on his handsome face.

"He stays here."  Kurai murmured throatily.

"Fuyu won't like that."

"He's in no position to contradict my decision."

"What are you planning to do, Kurai?"  Keshiki grasped his brother's arm.  Kurai pushed him away.

"Why don't you get to the point, my dear brother?  I know what you really want to know." 

Keshiki stared grimly at his twin.

Kurai continued chuckling softly.  "Why don't you use direct language like, Kurai, are you going to lay the redhead?"

"Shut up!"  Keshiki hissed.

Kurai ignored him and continued his taunting the other.

"You could say, Kurai, are you taking Kurama for a lover?"

"I said shut up!" Keshiki shouted.  The room began to crackle and light up with black energy.

Kurai turned flinty blue eyes to his twin, pointing a finger.

"Be careful how you speak to me.  You are still second brother here, Keshiki."

"I'm warning you, Kurai,  lay a hand on Kurama and you have me to face."

"I'm listening.  In the meantime, get out of my sight."  Kurai whispered softly.

Keshiki left the room angrily, muttering darkly to himself.

"Goodbye, dearest brother."  Kurai murmured.  He pressed a button to summon one of his guards.

"What is it my Lord?"  A guard bowed dutifully before Kurai.

"Tell the scouts they are to initiate the plan."

"Yes, my Lord."

"And make sure they get it right this time."

"Yes, ...."

"And get the redhead to my chambers."

"Yes, sir."  The guard bowed for the third time and rushed out of the room.

Kurai turned contemplating blue eyes outside his castle.

"There's one more snag in this plan."  He murmured thoughtfully.
