*Author Notes* Hi guys, I hope you're enjoying the tale so far, as terrible as the first chapter set things. This chapter takes things in a new light.

I don't know how long it will take me to complete Chapter 3 but if it ends up taking a long time, understand I 'am' working on it. I 'will' finish it. I am not ignoring it or giving up on Yiffstar. It's just, a very personal chapter but, in a good way. :)

Anyways, enjoy this chapter with the parody name. ^^

Chapter 2: True Sibling Love: A Series of Unexpected Events. (Yeah, I liked that movie so I just had to parody it, hehe)

The lights were dark, the silence was unnerving, the eyes started playing games with you. You see movement where there is not. Blinking lights, echoes in the heights. The enemy is surrounding, our last stand must be unbinding. We stand here or fall together, Narkle, Krilvor, Belthan, I and my Brother. We are the last line. Yet, with David's leadership we know we'll be fine. I take a deep sigh, and check my ammo to be sure it's at a high. Then my brother lets lose the cry...

"It's time to die!" and we all ready our guns and charge forward at all entrances into our base. Along the right wall, I charged up the ramp. The ramp itself was an upside V. I took cover behind its tip and started shooting down the corridor ahead. To my left, over the wall I knew Narkle was there. He was protecting my blind. In the middle of our area, my Brother stood his ground. Covering two entrances almost alone. His sharp shooting always came in handy. Left from him, was a bit of assistance when they had the chance to spare it. Krilvor and Belthan together guarded the furthest left entrance and usually hardest hit..

Krilvor is a Feline with black fur and hair. He's slender but strong. Not the way my Brother and Narkle are as he's more of an athletic kind of guy. He does archery, is smart but is also a video gamer that enjoys online RPG's a lot, rather too much, heh. Specifically Furry Fantasy 11 these days. (hehe Ok, That's really Final Fantasy XI...:) He's about 5'9" and yes, he likes the movies. ;)

Belthan is a Fox with orange fur spotted with black. The end of his tail is black as well. Hiker, video gamer though concentrates more on action games, and is the only one in the group of friends to drink often though he isn't an alcoholic. Yes, he also likes the movies too. ^^ We're all hoping to go watch that Lemony Snickets: A Series of Unfortunate Events. It's a good movie ya know! But, then again that's modern times. This tale doesn't take place today... Anyways, he's into Music as well.

"Silver! I'm hit!" The thought crosses my head, 'Damnit!' but I did only have one guy on me at the moment. I have to hit him, now! I started aiming more carefully. I had to silence the assault on my side for but a moment since I knew my brother was about to yell, "Crystal! Cover!" Hit! I got him! Instantly, I jumped up to the top of the ramp and looked over the wall. Down on the ground level was Narkle, pinned. They were advancing there but didn't realize I was up there aiming. My red beams flies and hits its mark ringing up the shields of one of the enemy. The other jumped back for cover, unsure of where I shot from. Easy target to hit as well. '3!' I think to myself as I leap back down to my post and duck as a laser starts shooting at me. Whew, almost got me.

Ammo check, 22 over 10. A deep breathe. "Krilvor, cover my area! Narkle, reload!" the lights start flashing wildly, "Game Over. Return to base..." ARGH! This match was getting good! I stood up and through my gun over my shoulder with a deep exhale. We were all weak. This match had been very hard. There's a slight possibility that we won because our team was hitting their base a very, very little bit, and the Red team hit our base almost not at all if at all. Originally, we were asked to go offence but the entire team went offence so we didn't. Good thing too! We had hell that whole game but the red team wasn't organized until the end. We, the Dragons, were organized from start to finish.

My brother and I were always the front two at our base energizer, to see the computer screen with the scores for everyone and the teams so we could see who won. The Dragons, always gave us the first look patiently. If they didn't want to wait, they'd go to the other energizer. My Brother and I looked at each other questioningly. "I dunno either." I said, guessing he wasn't sure if we won or not. Sure, our base barely got hit, but our team was likely massacred. Amateurs.

From both sides, my Brother and I meet in the middle of the energizer together. I, of course give him the front. Silence... Silver Dragon my Brother, Crystal Dragon obviously me, Black Dragon is obviously Krilvor, White Dragon is obviously Narkle and so Gold Dragon is Belthan. We dominated, we hit more people then anyone else did and received the least amount of hits. We had the best ratio... we lost. My brother sighs disappointedly. He wanted this win as it would have been good bragging material.

The Dragons begin working their way to the exit of the Arena to unvest, my brother and I lagged behind. "Don't worry, we still did good!" I said, giving him a slight hug with my hand. He offered me a half smile. "Yeah, I know. I just wanted that win. Hell of a fight though! Only two thousand points shy too. If it weren't for us, red would have won with an easy, 35,000." I agreed as he knew better then I would. I gave him a one armed hug as we made it to the exit finally. He let me go first and with a wave of my fluffy tail, I passed him. I lifted up my vest and placed it on the wall. We're not supposed to do that but they knew us Dragons knew how things worked so, they didn't mind letting us and we preferred doing it ourselves anyways.

Shortly there after, we were sitting in the Dragons Corner. A set of tables usually left empty that we used as our personal meeting area. The guys who worked there, all knew it too so when we said the "Usual area" Or the "Dragon Area" they'd send the food and drinks where we were, even if we weren't present at the time. There we sat, overlooking our scoresheets. None were out gunned that game. My Brother stood up once that was established, "As promised, I'll cover a round of Soda's!" We had been having a bad morning so, my Brother said he'd buy us all soda if we outgunned everyone for just three games straight.

With that, my Brother left out of the table room and headed for the food area. I got off my seat and followed him to help with the pitchers. We were in High school at this time, early though. 9th grade. The first 9th graders to have High school at 9th grade in our area. We stood there at the bar area waiting for our turn. I looked at David and smiled kindly.

He leaned over and whispered to me, "Ya know Crystal, you look pretty when you're on fire in there." That earned a playful smack on his shoulder. "Oww, I'm serious!" He retorted. I looked away and blushed a little bit. "Bleh, thanks. I suppose you look good too..." Then I change my voice making fun of the next sentence, "It's because of your high Charisma!" Now that's a joke making fun of a video game. Paladins used to have their description as, "a natural born leader with High Charisma." That's the only reason to pick him? Pssh, doesn't influence leadership anyways.

I started watching the Daytona U.S.A. games that were next to the food area. Sonic the Hedgehog was carved into the mountain side in the easy level. The one everyone played at least. I started thinking about how good my brother really did look for the first time in my life in a way a sister shouldn't be thinking... I stood there, zoned out for a while until I heard him calling my name, snapping me back to reality. "Wha?" He pointed at the bar. "Coke." I ahhhhed, and grabbed a couple pitchers and helped him carry them back to our corner.

'Woah! What's wrong with me?' I thought to myself and shook my head. Nothing of real importance happened for a bit so after a cup of coke, I hit the arcade area. I looked around at the games they had, a bunch of new games like Area 51. Now that game we generally avoided due to how important it was for our gun arms to be at their ready and rested, for the arena of course. They did have a few games that were hard to find, due to their age... like, Gauntlet.

There I stood, panting, scared, nervous. I glanced around again, nothing except what's around the corner. I check to make sure I have everything I need, check out how much energy I have left to make sure I can handle this. After gathering the strength to do so, I turn the corner and lunge forward screaming as I grab a magic potion and throw it at the 8 deaths! They scream as the magical light begins engulfing them, breaking them like fire burns clothe. I pull out my sword as some Orcs start coming at me. "Shit!" I think to myself as I start throwing my swords. Too many of them so I start retreating to prevent the generators from doing their usual however, I accidentally open a door. 'Vroanmm' is heard and the ghosts were set free. Damn, out of potions too! Then, announced loudly into my mind, "Game Alpha is now boarding. That's game Alphaaah..."

I look over to the Dragon table, and everyone's heading to the Arena. I sigh, as the game was going quite well for a loner but, duty calls. We sit in the darkest, most alone corner of the briefing room as we've heard the rules a few thousand times, go to the vest room, vest up and meet at the furthest away Energizer as usual. David stood looking at everyone, until we finished energizing as usual. "We'll do the usual. If we can, It'll be Crystal and myself going offence first. Narkle will be second in command." We don't solute or even say, 'aye sir.' or anything else like that. David always said it was a waste of time and in battle, a moment can make the difference between life and death.

The game went rather well at our base. Few people attempted to break through. Regulars though. They were skilled enough we had to pay attention. Covert ops was my strongest point in the Arena. This time I had to cover the center while my Brother took the ramp. He wasn't seeing much action over there so he really just took the birds eye view of things. "Crystal!" Is all he yelled out and I knew it was time to Advance. In a couple seconds, Narkle tapped my shoulder and I glanced at him. He had a calm smile as usual. I nodded and was on my way into red territory.

Well, I'll cut out a lot of the details as the battle itself was unimportant. Eventually, on my way back into Red Territory, I literally took over their offensive energizer. Thus, the whole Red Team was now energizing at their defensive energizer. Well, inevitably my Brother showed up over where I was, though I didn't know it at first. He snuck up on me as I had lowered my guard behind me. The punk grabbed my waist "BOO!" I let out a yelp but he quickly jumped back to safety as I turned. "Oh, heh." I turned again facing reds side with my gun at the ready. "Lets do it!" I said and we both started advancing into their side.

David and I were well organized together, as we were with any of the Dragons. We all had the entire Arena memorized, as well as the little tricks and hidden holes. We made it to their base and started hitting it good. Then, after our ammo was almost depleted, we returned, energized and did it again. This process would repeat a few times until finally, the Red team decided it was time to stop us. When you turn the corner to check to make sure it's still empty of human life only to find 3 guys pointing their guns at you is quite unnerving. "Shit!" I yelped as I leaped back and David ducked forward and shot up at them before he could even have known where they were. He guessed and he guessed right, I think. They didn't charge us.

Anyways, we had attempted to make it back to our energizer but they pinned us in a corner. The corner only had two ways in and out. No hidden holes where we were, and no easy way to break into our spot either. We were cut off. "David, ideas?" We couldn't see each other at the moment because of the corner in the wall. We were both holding off one of the entrances being as accurate as we could. "Well," David said, "We can rush out my side or we can split up and go our own way." I paused a moment, and said something before I realized it. "I want to stay with you..."

Me saying such a thing was highly unusual. David will know it too. 'I shouldn't have said that!' I thought to myself in panic. "Crystal?" David asked, kind of surprised. He emerged from around the corner to where I was. He looked very concerned, "Yeah, I mean..." He knew I was lying. We looked at each other for a few moments, both of us seeming to have forgotten where we were. David was about to say something when he reflexed and shot a guy who was rushing us. Crap! They're here! I started covering his back, and we switched entrances. "Go! Go! Go!" David ordered and I started forcing my way out and we ran back to the energizer. Of course, on our way the game ended. Grrr, always when things get good!

A very unexpected turn of events happened at the phone area. Now do understand, the big pipes they have for scenery are hollow and a couple of them were used for phone booths. I was calling Father, our ride home. Letting him know we're almost finished David followed me though I didn't know that at the time. Once I finished the call, I turned and that's when I saw him. I was a little surprised and fell back into the booth. We stared at each others eyes for a good minute.

"Crystal, I, need to tell you something." I hushed him with a finger. He reached up lightly grasping my hand and gently pulling it down. "Crystal, I think you're the most wonderful and beautiful girl in the world. You need to smile more!" I stopped a moment, a little scared and unsure. We mustn't be having this conversation, it's wrong. I looked down for a short moment, unable to look at his eyes now. A bit of a blush grew on my face, as I slowly started to smile.

"There ya go! That's the Crystal I know and, Love!" Love... there was something about the way David said that. At the time, I thought I was just imagining things but I could have swore David was trying to insinuate something. Gosh, my heart was pounding. There's a saying someone who is in love sees what they want too see.

You see, I didn't like guys back then. In fact, I nearly hated them. I hadn't touched a guy since that fated night at the school. Before I was, taken... I was exploring the sexual world, I had even given a few blow jobs. After they took me and I was showed the harsh reality of how men can be, I hadn't touched or trusted a man since. You all may not realize what kind of loneliness you feel over years of this life. The only man I could truly trust was my Brother. Sure his friends were trusted but my Brother was so, ideal. Four us took up Gauntlet together while we waited for Father to show up.

The whole game, the Valkrye was not up to par. I wasn't concentrating on our adventure that well. Kind of just running around, killing things, helping whoever needed it. Gauntlet wasn't that hard of a game after all. I was day dreaming about my Brother. My Brother! I wanted him to kiss me, I wanted him to hold me, I wanted him to stroke me, I wanted to be with him... well at least a part of me did. Another part was nagging at me how I shouldn't even be thinking such things. My mind kept going around the vicious cycle all night long. As we finished our game of Gauntlet we went outside to meet up with Father who usually arrives within 10 minutes after a Gauntlet game ends. During the ride home from the Laser tag place, my Brother and I kept glancing at each other, even though I were in the front seat and he were behind me. I kept glancing at him through the mirrors.

That night, I was in my room resting. Our parents were long asleep, and I was up doing a bit of stuff on Furcadia. I created a random alt and started getting peoples advice on what I should do in my current situation with my Brother. I was startled by some lightly tapping on the door. When I opened it, there stood David. He offered me a smile and came in. It wasn't unusual for him or I to invite ourselves into each others room. "What's up?" I asked, heading back to my computer and letting everyone know I gotta go AFK. I wasn't worried about David reading the window, we would never do that too each other. We respect each other!

"I think we should talk a little bit." David said, obviously having had this on his mind for a while now. I nodded yes, "Yeah, we do..." I fidgeted and brought my hands together as I did nervously at such times. We both moved onto my bed and sat there, looking away from each other for a moment. David started, "You, do know what's been on my mind?" I nodded yes and said, "yes..." quietly. "I Love you Crystal." he said. I turned and looked at him trying to smile though I was terrified. Was this really happening?

"I Love you too David." I said softly, and hesitantly. David slowly moved closer to me and looked at me. I didn't recoil. David then said, "You're, so beautiful..." he started leaning forward and I took a deep breathe opening my mouth slightly. God it was wonderful. The inner lust within me was finally feeling like it was about to be satisfied. The touch of a man, something I hadn't felt since that night at the school, back in Jr. High school... though that wasn't a real touch... It's also been a few years since then. *sighs*

David reached up with his hands and placed them on my shoulder, then moved his left one around my back. I brought my left arm up onto the back of his head and wrapped my other one behind him. Slowly, David started lowering me down onto my back. My heart was pounding harder then I thought it able too. He was very careful not to place his body weight on top of me completely. It was very caring of him, even in such an extreme, emotional moment like this...

That night was a real wonderful night, the first step for both of us. We didn't kiss much longer though, as we were very tired. After David broke the kiss, we starred at each other, somewhat lost at the time.

Ya know, I'm having trouble explaining just how wonderful that night was. It's one of those nights we both remember quite well to this day, and are known to bring up at even the most emotional of moments and conversations sometimes. We laid there together for a while but knew we couldn't stay like this all night. We couldn't risk such a thing! Suppose Father wakes up and finds my Brother holding his Sister in her room on her bed!

Thus, David stood at the doorway looking at me while I was sitting up in the bed, blushing. "Goodnight Crystal." He said softly with a gleam in his eyes and a gentle, calming smile. I nodded slightly, "Goodnight." and thus the night, as simple as it was had come to an end. One of the best moments of my life. Of course, sleeping afterwards wasn't a fun account. I spent most of the night confused with what just happened. Was it right? Was it wrong? What, should I think about this?

The next day was awkward. We kept glancing at each other a little nervously during breakfast, while we waited for Father to get ready, in the car... Well, I'm sure you can figure out the kind of odd glances we gave each other. As time went on, our kissing turned into minor make out sessions. Within a month, we started going to the next level of caressing each other's bodies but we avoided our, lower regions. Always there dwelled the thoughts in our heads. 'Should we be doing this? Should we be enjoying this...?'

'I shouldn't be enjoying this. It's wrong! He's my BROTHER!' 'But, he cares so much for me.' 'He's still your brother. It's not right to feel this way when your own blood touches you!' 'How can something so wrong feel so right?' 'Suppose father found out! He'd be furious for a reason!' 'And that would be?' 'He's my brother! Suppose word leaked of this, it's against the law!' 'So is driving at night without a lantern on the hood of your car in Texas!' '...' 'there's nothing wrong with loving your own brother!' 'the Offerspring...' 'you're desperate! You know it takes more then one generation for faulty offspring!' 'but...' 'but nothing! There's nothing wrong! He LOVES you! What other man in this world could you say that about?' '...but' 'Can you trust him?' 'of course I can!' 'Can you trust anyone else?' 'his friends.' 'Yes but you know that isn't the same kind of trust...' '...' 'What's wrong with loving your Brother? He's the sweetest guy you know!' 'It's wrong... He's supposed to be my friend, my brother, my support in life and in my decisions...' 'Who's to say your Lover can't provide it?' 'I, suppose it's ok...' 'yes, it is ok...' I kept telling myself this as time progressed.

These thoughts started becoming more and more obsessive within my mind as time went on. It kept me up at night. David and I both were having nights like these yet, whenever we were together, we embraced each other in pure joy. Pure joy, as any other emotion was ignored during these moments. Despite this joy we shared together, always there lingered the fear of inevitably. Knowing our joy was destined to end. We are Brother and Sister. We are not meant to live our lives together in this way and inevitably, a change in our life must happen, and soon! If we don't decide for ourselves, everything we have will be forcibly destroyed by those that would inevitably discover its existence...

The End
