Pandora's Box

Both children heard Satsuki-san as clear as day. They were both curious about their mother at a young age. But whenever they asked their father, Usui always changed the topic. He also looked saddened, and the twins never wanted to make their dear father sad. Even though they understood that they probably would never have a mother again, they never thought that she'd be dead.

Once Hiku confirmed that they were alone, he walked over to Miku's bed. Because he grew up by the side of his twin sister his whole life, he knew exactly how she would react to what Satsuki-san said. "It's okay Miku, everything will be okay as long as we have each other." He hugged his sister tightly.

"I-I didn't know she was dead," Miku sobbed. "W-was it us who killed her? Did she died because of us?" She trembled in her older brother's arms.

"Who knows... we always thought she left because of us, but maybe she killed herself because of us." A tear fell from the little boy's eyes. He tried to hold back sobbing for the sake of his sister. There's no use if both of them crying, and he was supposed to be a man.

After a few minutes, Miku finally stopped crying. "Sorry Hiku. I know princesses aren't supposed to cry. I didn't mean to make myself a burden for you."

"It's okay, I don't mind you crying. After all, to me, you're not Princess Miki. You're my precious sister Miku," Hiku gently smiled at Miku. "You can cry in front of your older brother."

"Thank you Hiku," Miku beamed back at him. But her smile quickly faded. "I just wanted to at least meet her. Even if she hated us, I just wanted to see the woman who gave birth to us."

Miku's look on her face saddened Hiku. He hated seeing that face on his dear little sister. But all of a sudden, he thought of a plan.

Miku, understanding that her brother just got an idea, exchanged smirks with her brother.

...

Two small shadows crept throughout Miyabigaoka Castle. Their footsteps were just about as quiet as a mouse's footsteps would be. As they stealthily made their way through the hallways, the moonlight illuminated the golden blonde hair and faces of Hiku and Miku. The children stopped at a huge glass door. The door would lead them into the Northern Wing of the palace.

"Mother must have lived here considering the way daddy feels about this place," Miku pointed out. "No one is allowed here. Not us, not the maids, not even father comes here."

"Yea, there has to be some kind of a picture here of her," Hiku added.

The door had creaked when they opened it. That was proof that no one - except for themselves- had been in that room in a long time. The room was filled with lots of windows. There was a beautiful king-sized bed in the room. Next to the huge bed a white, wooden desk. At the foot of the bed was a wooden bin-like chest. There was also a matching white wooden dresser at the side of the room. The room looked quite different at night, since the twins had been there during the daytime when they had found the "Dandelion," book.

"This is definitely a girl's room," Hiku pointed out. "I'll start looking through the desk, chest, and dresser. You try looking anywhere else, Miku."

"Alright, what exactly should we be looking for?"

"A picture. A picture of our mother." Hiku stated while opening the wooden chest.

Miku looked under the bed, but it was super dark. So she used a flashlight to shine underneath the bed. What was underneath the bed? Nothing. She looked over to her brother to see if he had found something, but he was empty-handed too.

After an hour, they had given up. They pretty much searched everywhere in the room.

"I guess we'll never know how she looked like," Miku admitted with her head down.

"Yea... it's like someone got rid of her entire existence in this room."

They finally decided to leave before someone found them there. They started to walk out, when Miku stopped in her tracks.

"Is something wrong Miku? Lets go." Hiku called to her. He was just about to close the door.

"Wait Hiku. Listen to this," Miku started lightly stomping on the floorboards. "Do you hear that?"

"Its hollow," he replied.

The twins quickly pulled the floorboard off of the floor, and revealed a white box with ribbon tied around it. Hiku quickly took the box out and put the floorboard back onto the floor.

"Let's open it in our room. Someone might find us here and take this box if we don't hurry back soon," whispered Miku.

"Yea, you're right," Hiku agreed.

...

The twins finally made it into their room. They made sure to close their door shut and lock it, so no one would see the box.

"How do you think the box got there?" Miku asked.

"The woman who lived there probably planted it there. A box doesn't just randomly hide itself under a floorboard."

"Well, I guess all that's left is to open it."

The twins looked at each other in agreement and both of them pulled one end of the silk ribbon that tied the box together. The ribbon gracefully unwound itself around the box. Hiku pulled off the top of the white box. Both of the twins gasped at the paper that covered the top of the box.

It was a picture. The picture showed a beautiful woman. The woman had raven black hair and amber eyes, she looked kind of similar to Aunt Suzuna, and had the same golden pendant on her neck. On the her left ring finger was a ring with emerald and amber gems that mixed together in the middle. The diamonds surrounded the gems on the edge of the ring. The woman in the picture was wearing a beautiful veil and a white, mermaid dress. Her eyes were wide open, and you could see that her cheeks were ruby red. Next to the surprised woman, was a man who had his arms snaked around the woman's waist. He was kissing the woman on the cheek, which was obviously a surprise to the woman. Both of the people in the picture seemed like nothing could ruin their happiness in that moment The twins had just found a wedding picture. A wedding picture of their father and mother.

How did you like that ending? Was it good? Please write me a review on your thoughts :D
