Through the darkness
Chapter 1
------------------------------------
Sou Kishuku woke up from his dream, sweating and panting heavily. "Who is Tamahome?" he whispered to himself. "Sou? Are you up yet?" his father's voice echoed through the house, waking him up completely.
Who was he? Well…Sou Kishuku was an ordinary boy, a 17 year-old boy, about to sit for his college entrance exams. His mother had died of cancer whenhe was around twelve, leaving a little baby daughter, Yuiren. Yuiren was the youngest in a family of five children, all taken care of by Mr. Kishuku. Sou was the oldest of the five siblings, two younger brothers (Shunkei and Chuei) and two younger sisters (Gyokuran and Yuiren).
"Sou, don't forget to look after Yuiren and pick her up from day-care after school…and the boys do have soccer practice, so they'll be home around five." Mr. Kishuku explained to Sou as he walked out the door. Sou sighed heavily…he was tired of taking care of his brothers but being a doctor, Mr. Kishuku had to work long hours to earn the money necessary for raising his children properly. Mr. Kishuku's mother used to look after the kids until last year. Sou took over after that. It wasn't too hard though, Yuiren, who was 6, was the only one who needed to be looked after. The other three managed on their own…Sou couldn't play any sports though, a real shame since he was an amazing athlete. Sou had to take care of the younger kids and work part-time at a small grocery store around the corner. Mrs. Hanna who owned the grocery store took care of Yuiren, while Sou worked and she didn't charge, which was a good thing. Sou got paid, though very little, for his work and Yuiren was allowed to stay there!
"Yuiren, hurry or I'll be late for school!" Sou said, as he grabbed his books and his bag and held the door open for Yuiren. He then started up his car (not a new one) and dropped Yuiren off at her day care.
At last, Sou was on his own!
