DIE! JUST DIE!
How cruel those words sound from the mouth of a mother. I prayed he'd run, move, anything. But no. He knelt there, his head bowed as she sprayed him with the cold water. Maybe he's not worth it. She grabbed his hair and forced him into the cold water, drowning him. Like that would be his death. I slowly eased her away from him, whispering the soft words.
"He's your son. Let him be, Misaki. Let go of your son, the only one you have left… the one who didn't betray you."
She let him go. Her eyes wide and haunted as she sprayed him with the shower head again. He bowed his head and his mind softly prayed that the water would stay cold. I put my arms around the boy and kissed his little kitten ear, "Don't worry, my love. Seimei was not the brother you wanted him to be. I'm here now."
I pray he can see me. The side Seimei shoved away and destroyed. I watch him as he dries off and tries to get her to do the same. I felt my fake heart grow cold. Then a new heat returned to me. Soubi….
I smiled and fade away. I no longer need to protect him. He has a protector, a dog who will risk it's life for his.
I love you… Ritsuka.
