Taihei tried to shush him this was something they couldn't talk about openly and if they tried to they would get yelled at once they go to where they needed to be he looked around confused at everything. "Hello?" he called out trying to see why no one was around not even the help. "We didn't take to long did we?" he asked looking to the other.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Xue wiped his tears on his sleeve trying to calm himself once more with the help of his brother he quickly gained control knowing that they would both being harmed just because he got upset over something he should just be accepting. It seemed like it was just in time as he seen their parents coming into the dinning room. he shuffled to hide behind Taihei afraid of what they where planning.

Their father looked at them and smiled "Don't they look marvellous my sweet,like real children, you weren't think they where filthy little animals" he laughed a little hugging his wife closer. "Oh seems we have a hider, so they will not want to enjoy the nice breakfast and gift we have for them." he said sitting at the table.

Xue didn't move from hiding he bit his lip a little "Mummy, daddy what am I?" he asked his voice showing just how confused he was on the subject he wanted to know why they made him dress like he did and do what they forced him to, he wasn't one to ever ask questions but this one was eating away at him.

[NikkoGallarado]

Taihei looked back at Xue then bowed some knowing that something was going to coming flying at them. So he was going to protect Xue from it. "Ummm. . . .it is just a simple question Xue would like answered please!" he said shaking some.

She looked on with a scowl across her face as she hid it behind a fan. "My what a way to start a morning. . . .I thought they where children but it seems they want to question everything they are given should we take it all away dear?" she said at the end.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Xue whimpered hearing his mother's voice and how angry it was "I-I-I'm sorry I-I don't mean to question I-I'm a-a-a good child." he didn't know if he use the male or female way of referring to himself as he was confused. "P=Please don't take it away from us i-it's nice." he said walking out his head propped down as he knew he had been bad.

Their father hugged his wife close kissing her on the cheek "My, my... you did wake up in a foul mood this morning is it because of the day?" he asked listening as Xue apologised and begged he found it amusing and sweet all at the same time. "What do you think my dear shall we give them a second chance since it is their birthday or do we cancel it like last year?"

[NikkoGallarado]

Taihei looked at the other then looked up as much as he could to see his mum and da, but it was but hard so he looked back down to the floor in hope they wouldn't take it away like last year.

"I guess we can give them another chance this year, I will let this all pass so come and have a meal on this day of your nasty little lives of being born into this world." she smiled some and she kissed her husband back on his cheek watching the two move to the table.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Xue moved to the table as they had been instructed and sat down glad that he didn't cause their birthday to be cancelled like last year. His eyes went to his brother "W-we aren't nasty are we." he shook his head "S-sorry I-I know better p-please don't send me to the toy room." he whimpered shaking a little his head lowering his hand reaching for Taihei's under the table as fell silent.

The father helped his wife to the table bringing out the chair and helping her sit "If you don't ask anymore stupid questions then for today no you will not go in the toy room." he sat himself down next to his wife wondering what had gotten into Xue who normally wouldn't say two words to them

[NikkoGallarado]

As the servants came with the meals placed them all down before each person. Taihei couldn't believe the food they would be getting it was rare for them to have such meal but he would enjoy it as much as he could. While holding his bothers hand he said nothing to what his father had said they didn't need any more trouble.

"Stupid indeed, well dear shall we tell them what we have planed for them this year?" she said to him as she started to eat the meal that was placed down before her.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

As much as Xue wanted to touch this rare delight his eyes closed and turned his head away from it. His stomach hurt showing that he was hungry but meat hurt his stomach even more and wouldn't touch it no matter how hungry he got. "M-mummy c-c-can I have some porridge p-please." he whispered he was scared to ask any questions normally more so now as their parents where trying to be nice to them.

"We should my dear but let them enjoy their breakfast." his eyes went to Xue as he asked for something different he was fine with it after all he wanted Xue to watch his figure but it wasn't him who had been asked it was his darling wife and so it would be her decision alone.

[NikkoGallarado]

Taihei looked at the other with a worried look but started to eat it was something he needed if he was going to have so something today that may need him to use strength as of them.

"Hmmm fine if that is what you want then you can have it." she said taking a bite of her meal. "If that is all you want then you can have it all." waving her hand telling the maid to take the meal away and bring forth what Xue had wanted. Soon the maid returned with bowl and a spoon.

"There you go now eat."

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Not once did Xue let go of his brother's hand afraid at what his question may have caused but he was surprised when he heard his mother reluctantly agreeing to his request. "Thank you mummy you are so kind to me." his voice showing true gratitude as the food was taken away and his breakfast came back Looking at it for a second he looked to his mother again "Mummy is indeed a generous being worthy of being a goddess." he knew better than not to sing her praises considering she was being so nice. Soon he began eating his food quietly not making another sound

[NikkoGallarado]

"Such a cheeky child you are but I will allow you say what you want since you hardly get your way." she said to Xue pick up her coffee mug to take a sip from it then looked down to the end of the table, then looking back to her other half.

Taihei blinked some hearing the person they called mother accept what Xue said with out getting up or being mad, he knew better that is what she wanted a child to tell her how she was wonderful and she was doing right.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

"I-I'm sorry mummy I-I didn't mean to be cheeky." he said dropping his head his eyes closing as he thought he had gotten into trouble "B-but I do th-think you are spoiling me, b-by allowing me to change my breakfast, you are such a wonderful mummy." he said stroking his mother's ego before falling silent once more to continue eating his breakfast without another word his hand squeezing Taihei's a little for support.

"He is indeed very cheeky, but he is right my dear you are a beautiful goddess in my eyes and a wonderful mother in theirs." he smiled before picking up the newspaper to see what was going on in the world "Isn't that right boys." Xue nodded quickly "There is no better mummy than you in the world." he said gently, his hand squeezing Taihei's a little more

[NikkoGallarado]

Taihei nodded some, "Yes the most wonderful mother a child could have. . . ." he said holding on Xue hand looking over to his sibling at times like this he would say something but he knew better but in away at times like this is own mother would baby Xue it was rather odd but never brought it up when they where alone.

--

"If you stay good little children like your wonderful father says, you can wear something nice this day that I think you maybe ready for and we can get your little birthday started. . .what do yo both think, hmm?"

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Xue remained quiet eating his breakfast he wanted their parents love so much so tried to be good as possible but at times it was hard considering he was confused on his own gender. "M-Mummy t-today is it boy or girl clothing." he was scared to ask things normally he got hurt but his mother seemed to have been in a good mood today, but still his hand didn't move from his brother's hand. He didn't want to say anything to the second question he just continued to eat.

[NikkoGallarado]

Taihei just looked at him then looked to there so called beloved mother watching her movement some as she placed down her napkin he didn't know what was going to happen it scared him some.

--

"Girl. . . girl. . . girl!" she yelled throwing her napkin down on the table. "Why is it so hard for you just take what I give you!" she started to yell at Xue. Then looked over to Taihei who looked down said nothing at all.

I am the manry-est of men!

[Kaguya]

Xue jamp when their mother yell at him tears falling from his eyes as he knew that he had angered her, his hand squeezing Taihei's tightly "I-I'm sorry mummy b-but I have both kinds in my wardrobe I-I asked to so I could make you happy." all he wanted was his mother's happiness in the hopes they would gain a better life. "I-I take all you give me mummy, you are loving and caring. I-I..." he let go of his brother's hand standing up he ran back to their cell and curled on his mat like bed for safety knowing for sure his mother hated him.
