Pure: hello everybody~ nice to see you again!
III: we missed you :D
IV: Pure wrote a sequel!
Pure: I was debating whether to write this or not, but…it'll never hurt to try~ well here we go!
"Thomas…"
The surrounding area around him felt so warm and comfortable.
"Thomas…"
Who's calling him?
IV opens his eyes.
He was in his room, nothing strange.
He could no longer hear the person calling his name but he smelt something good outside his door. He turned the knob of his door and slowly walked into the kitchen.
There, placing tea cups and a tea kettle onto a tray, was III.
"Mihael?" he commented out loud.
This startled III causing him to drop the tray. Tea and glass shards lay on the floor.
"I'm so sorry Nii-Sama, you startled me" III admitted, leaning down on the ground "I'll clean this up".
IV continued to stare at III with disbelief. III looked up at him with a confused look, "what is it Nii-San?" Before IV could answer, the area around him started to blur and finally disappear.
IV awoke, breathing heavily and sweating like crazy.
Another dream with III.
Why were these so common? He had no idea. He's been having them ever since his little brother's funeral.
"Dammit" he scolded himself "I'm thinking of it again".
A month ago his little brother was murdered by a creature named Barian. IV faced off with Barian at the hospital and learned some unsettling things he never knew about III.
Including his galaxy mark like their father's at the back of his neck.
He wanted to know more!
IV got out of bed and entered the living room to be greeted by his older brother and his man-child father.
"Good morning Thomas" V said.
IV grunted and slouched on the couch.
"Is something wrong?" Tron asked.
"Mihael appeared in my dream again" IV informed "it's like he's…haunting me".
"He's not haunting you" V answered, his tone giving a hit of your-being-ridicules.
"You don't know that Chris!" IV yelled "I swear it's really him, it's like I can feel him there, like I can touch him".
V sighed in defeat, then changed the subject "Ryoga going to bring you to Physical Therapy, Rio will be joining you".
"Ok" IV said, standing up. As he walked away, he stopped and turned around to face V.
"You're gonna make fun of me for admitting this, But I don't think I can live without a little brother". He paused then continued "He was someone who looked up to me, and someone I could tease and play with…I need to be an older brother…"
With that IV walked away.
PT was soon over, it's was simple really. He and Rio just had to do some exercises and tell the workers how they felt.
Walking back, IV told the twins that he was going to visit III's grave. So they continued on without him.
IV entered the cemetery to see an unexpected surprise. Yuma Tsukumo was standing near his brother's grave.
"Yuma?" he questioned, "hey" Yuma gave a cheerful smile.
IV and he sat down.
"Why are you here" IV asked curiously. "Mihael is my friend, of course I'll visit him…Everyone has".
"Haruto, Kaito, Shark, Rio, I've even brought Kotori with me" Yuma exclaimed, and then he laughed "Astral has been visiting with me too". The bright blue alien smiled as Yuma mentioned his name. He was currently standing in front of the grave behind IV and Yuma. His long, slender legs not even touching the ground.
IV thought for a moment then asked "Yuma…do you believe in spirits and haunting".
"Of course I do" Yuma said "everything has to have a reason, if their haunting, then there's a reason".
IV thought about that as he walked home.
He opened the door to overhear a conversation his brother was having with Tron, Ryoga, and Rio.
"Did you hear?" V asked. The others shook their heads. "Haruto's been sent to the hospital again, I just heard from Kaito this evening".
IV held in his grief, it looks like the kid's time would soon be over.
He entered the room not saying a word.
"Thomas-" V began. But he middle brother cut him off. "I'm ok, I'm just gonna go to bed early" he mumbled, leaving the guests in the room.
Tron sighed "I'm sorry he's being rude, but believe me, he hasn't been the same lately".
"I guess… He just wanted Haruto to live, since he's lost his own little brother".
Rio looked down and Ryoga put his hand on her shoulder.
The room remained silent.
Pure: ASDFGHJKL! I don't like this chapter because it's boring and I need to get everything started. I promise next chapter will be more interesting
III: she told her brother her idea for this story and he loved it, so we hope you'll love it too ^^
Pure: so see you next time!
IV: WAIT! You gotta give a preview for the next chapter!
Pure: do I have to?
IV: yes -_-
Pure: Fine!
Next Chapter: IV has another dream with III in it. Only this time it seems like III's trying to warn him about something. Trying to show him the future. And what does this have to do with Haruto?
