Their World

Kiyumi's POV

"He's dead." I heard.

I watched from behind a small doorway just 10 feet from where my mother stood. Speechless. "But..." Tears rimmed her eyes. "No!" She screamed. "How? It can't be possible.. T-tell me... Tell me you're lying!" She wailed at the police officer.

"I'm sorry ma'am, I truly am... But Mr. Tategami... Is indeed dead." He said. I sank to my knees, as did my mother. I didn't know him, but I resented the man who delivered the news. No. He wasn't a man. He was a monster. He said I'm Sorry one more time and walked away.

"Kiyumi... Whas goin on? Whas wong wif mommy?" I looked up with tears in my eyes and into Kakeru's own blue ones. Kakeru, my two year old brother. Me being six, and Kyouya seven, I decided since he was older I'd take Kakeru upstairs with me and tell them both what I saw and heard.

I stood up and said "come on Kakeru. I'll tell you and Kyouya." I took his hand and began up the stairs.

Kyouya's POV

I couldn't believe what Kiyumi told me. "Dead?" I asked as tears brimmed my eyes. "He can't be... He just can't..."
"That's what the officer said" Kiyumi told me. "He was... Murdered." She began to cry... I tried to comfort both her and Kakeru. Kakeru is probably still too young to really realize what was going on...

"By who?" I asked.

"They... They don't know yet..." she stammered. "It hap- He was killed a-at work w-with M-M-Madoka's dad." She looked up at me and gave me a hug - more like clung to me- and cried into my shirt.

Why would anyone want him dead? He worked as a bey mechanic giving Kiyumi, Kakeru and I beys of our own. Flame Leone, Rock leone, and Divine Chimara. Why... And how?
