I gazed at the woman infront of me as she worked over a hot stove as she made pancakes. My sister. Kira Hitomiko. She was the one who showed me the light when I thought my life came to an end. My angel in disguise. You see it all started 10 years ago, I was 4 years old when my life came to an end.
I was sleeping in my room one night. When I heard low rumbling coming from downstairs, I rubbed my eyes and went to the door of my room and opened the door to hear that sound but I was too tired and sleepy that I wasnt able to distinguish the sounds and went back to bed.
After a few moments I woke up once more but this time the sound was followed by the smell of burning wood and smoke.
As rushing steps came closer to my room and my door burst open and a feminine figure of my mother came in and I saw fire licking in the background. Fear consumed me and I thought I was gonna collapse any moment. Smoke stained my mothe's face and her hair was fly everywhere as she picked me in her arms and sprinted out of the room.
I had no clue what was going on until I saw someone chasing us. The only think I could have guessed was that some one was after my family, dad was no where in sight and we were trying to get out of the burning house.
I could here bangs of gunshots and a gasp escaping from my mum's mouth as she fell to the ground and a pool of blood surrounding her. I fell a few steps away from her and crawled to her study. "Hiroto...run...remember...I...l..lo..love you" with that her soul slipped from her body and she was dead.
Tears were in my eyes but I ran. Ran and Ran. I dont know for how long I ran but I did. My emotions were too high. I couldn't comprehend what was happening. My Mum dead. Dad Dead. House burnt. What was I left to do?
But something kept me from stop running. I kept running until I collapsed on the ground, till I choked on my own sobs.
I cried and sobbed till I could not keep my consciousness...
...
I woke up to find myself in a soft and comfy bed, dim light coming in the room and for a moment I thought I was in my old room and everything was fine until all the memories came flooding back and tears formed in my eyes.
"Good Morning, sleepy head. You've been asleep for two days. So how'd you feel?" I heard a hirl's voice say. "Hi, I'm Hitomiko"
"Hi, I'm Hiroto" I said shyly "Umm, where am I?"
"You're at Sun Garden, I found you lying unconscious and brought you here. Could you tell me what happened to you?"
I hesitated for a second but something told me I should tell her and so I did.
"Hmm, Souka, how about this Hiro kun, would you like to stay here? Have a family and make friends?"
I gaped at her in awe. She wanted me to...stay? Have a family again?
Tears filled my eyes and the hidden emotions burst out as I embraced her and cried till my heart content.
She gave me a new home, new family, new friends and the will to live.
She was no Human, I could tell.
She was an Angel in disguise.
