Rage

I thought it very odd to see him walking home alone, so early. He had a date with my little sister. This was to be an important night for him and her. Only days ago had he come to talk to me with seriousness that I rarely saw in the young man. He was also quite nervous. He asked for permission to marry my sister. I of course approved. I thought Eiji Yamada to be the perfect young man for my sister.

I approach him and ask about her. I wondered why she wasn't with him. He looked at me with a stunned expression on his face and he looked as though he had been crying. This was very odd. He was not the one to be emotional like that. Hot headed, yes, but not the type to be drawn to tears. Had something happened to my sister?

He must have noticed the horrified look on my face as he assures me that my sister is fine. She wasn't hurt. I am relieved. He explains to me what had happened, why he is alone.

I am left speechless. I don't believe it, but I know it to be the truth. He knows what she means to me and the expression on his face tells it all. He is still visibly shaken by what he has told me. Still I do not want to believe his story. This was my sister he was talking about. She would not do such a thing, would she?

I could understand the part about her saying 'no'. Perhaps she was not ready for such a commitment, but not to be in the arms of another woman. That just could not be so! Where did I go wrong? I knew I should have done more to protect her. Was it because I raised her more like a little brother instead of a little sister? Should I have discouraged her early fascination with motorcycles and encouraged her to play with dolls like the other girls her age? Maybe if I was around more often instead of tending to my gang affairs. Perhaps, I should have hired a babysitter for her instead of bringing her along with me.

I try my best to cheer him up, but there is not much that I can do. He knows that. He kicks the dirt on the ground and walks away, stuffing his hands in his pockets.

This is not right. I won't have my friends hurting like this. I cannot believe my little sister could hurt him this way. How could she? It's that school. I shouldn't have allowed them to convince me to send her there… to the girls' school. She would have been better off at Taiyo, or maybe even Gorin. Surely there was some sport she would have been good at. I should have made more of a protest that she stay at Gedo. At least that way I could keep an eye on her. If I had, none of this would have happened. It is wrong.

I begin to pace back and forth. My anger begins to boil. I cannot change the past, but I can shape the future. I will see to it that I rescue my sister from the clutches of the evil that holds her. I will save you, sister, as you have done for me many times before. Now it is my turn. My heart burns with rage as I speak her name…

"Zaki!"
