Icepaw narrowed his eyes, wondering why no fish had swum down in the past few hours.

Ah, well, I can wai---

"Hello, who's this?"

"A tiny little kitten looking for fish to eat?"

Icepaw turned abruptly to face the two identical amber-eyed toms who had suddenly appeared behind him, and blinked angrily.

"Do you mind tuning it down? You're scaring away the--"

The twins glanced at each other, then both interrupted,

"Oh, this little kit's got some nerve--"

"--Trying to tell us what to do--"

"--Especially when his grudge-partner's been--"

"--killed killing a psychopath~!" they chorused.

Icepaw froze, and stuttered, "W-what? Who?"

The twin on the left stifled a laugh as the other replied gaily, "Oh, you know! Loudclaw, that random tom from whereeverland!"

Icepaw blinked again, then backed away, eyes wide.

"You're--You're teasing me, aren't you? Loudclaw can't--He can't be dead! You're--You're lying! He's too powerful to be--"

"Oh, is he?" Kaoru interrupted, his eyes glittering with some untold emotion.

"Or are you just regretting all the hardship you've added to him?"

"I-I--" Icepaw began, but failed to find any words to enunciate. Snatching a wide stare at the twins, he darted away, doing all he could to hide his tears.

"Well... That was boring. For a former kittypet, you'd think--"

"--That he'd have more backbone than other Clan cats, wouldn't you?"

"...Yep."

"Let's go, I'm booooored..."

"Yeah, me too... Maybe we should go to Kyoya? He's always got something up his sleeve, y'know..."

Nodding to each other, then bursting out into laughter, Hikaru and Kaoru padded serenely away, mindless of the devastation they were leaving behind.
