Warnings: Yaoi, mentions of self harming

Everyone was screaming.

Destruction everywhere.

Darkness around me.

"Run! Leave me behind!"

Blood and tears.

"N-Nii-san... Our P-Parents, little brother...!"

Not a single trace of my little brother.

My parents dead.

I couldn't move.

I wanted to scream.

Slowly a young man woke up from his small nap. Normally he would just stand up from his lying position, but this time he remained there for minutes because of the dream he had. It's been awhile since I dreamed it, he thought, before he finally stood up.

He was currently in his squad room of Border and the ones who share the room with him were currently out. His Operator went to a meeting instead of him, he didn't know where the other person was, but he was sure that she would appear soon since they notified her that they are back from the expedition.

After walking to the kitchen area he opened the fridge and got one of his favorite yogurts, while the young man ate he walked to the other side of room, which was like a living room. Stopping in front of the photo frames he inspected one particular frame.

In this photo two people could be seen, twins to be said. One male, the other female. His gaze directly fell on to the young woman and a sigh escaped his throat. The woman had chin long, messy, raven colored, black hair, just like black eyes. Under her eyes and bride of the nose were freckles. That was Hatohara Mirai, his twin sister and the reason he, Hatohara Minoru, went on the expedition in the first place.

In terms of look the both of them were almost the same. The only differences were that Minoru was taller than her about 24 cm and his hair was a bit shorter than Mirais. While his twin sister was a bit fragile looking he had a well trained body, which he gained through his training in the arts of Hapkido and Taekwondo.

Suddenly he got pulled out of his thoughts when the door of his squad room opened, revealing the two people and a puppy. Before Minoru could greet them one of them was jumping on him, causing them to fall on the ground, fortunately he already ate up his yogurt or things would turned out messy.

"Uff!"

"Nii-chan! Welcome back! Did you find anything? Did you take your pills? Did Lukas make you any trouble?" Svantje Köhler, the person who jumped on him, asked question after question without any sign of stopping, while Minoru just laughed and petted his Samoyed puppy Taka who licked his face as greeting. His Operator Lukas Wagner, the older cousin of Svantje, was just standing beside them, already used to that.

"Hey now!" chuckled Minoru "Shouldn't I be the 'big brother' who is worried sick? But to answer your questions, Nikko-chan, I found some rumors, Otaku-kun made sure I took my pills and he didn't cause any trouble." once his puppy stopped to lick him he sat up, his surrogate little sister remained on his lap.

"Don't call me an Otaku."

Svantje giggled and pushed her glasses a little, because they slipped a bit as she jumped on him. The both of them finally stood up and she immediately swept Taka up in her arms. Minoru looked over to Lukas.

"And? Something important during the meeting?" Lukas gaze got serious, after he fixed his glasses he started to talk.

"Kazama-san presented the triggers we were able to gain from the expedition and Commander Kido had another mission for us. Before I could refuse it, because we only take direct orders from Shinoda-san, he told us that a Black Trigger was in Tamakoma Branch, just like that a Neighbor was enlisted here in Border. They want to get that Trigger. I refused for us because of the reason I mentioned, Kinuta-san and Shuuji-san fussed about it, Kido-san dismissed me then." Lukas spoke in a neutral tone, almost like he didn't care and before the oldest of them could say something Svantje interrupted them.

"Eh~?! Yuma is a Neighbor? Wow, I have a Neighbor as classmate!" the girl was giggling happily at the information, while the other two looked at her confused. Taka just looked up to her.

She told them about the time Yuma came in her class and about the irregular gates that appeared at her school. Svantje began to giggle again when she talked about that Osamu guy who broke the rules so he could help his schoolmates, while she fought against the Marmods. He even fought against one despite being a C-Rank. The next time she met them were when she visited the Branch and got informed that he, along with a cute little girl, enlisted in Tamakoma and formed a team with Osamu.

And before Lukas could get into 'overprotected brother/cousin mode' Minoru spoke up.

"Anyway, we should talk to Shinoda-san and hear his opinion on this matter."

"Why? He belongs to Tamakoma now, it's their business. Besides, Jin-san should have already seen this coming."

"Komm schon Lukas! Ich bin mir sicher du findest ein Freund in Yuma! [Come on Lukas! I'm sure you will find a friend in Yuma!]" Svantje suddenly spoke in German as she hugged her older cousin with one arm around his shoulders, while Taka just wagged his tail.

"Daran zweifel ich. [I doubt it.]"

"Das sagtest du auch zu Sasamori. [That's what you said about Sasamori(-kun), too.]" The oldest of them chuckled.

"Und auch zu Taichi! [And to Taichi, too!]" Svantje added

"Schon gut! Schon gut! [Okay! Okay!]" Lukas sighed heavily, before he looked at the other two. "Two agains-"

"Woof!"

"Three against one. You guys win."

The only female in their group giggled once again, while Minoru gave a smile. All of them exited the room and were quite surprised to find S-Rank agent Jin Yuichi in front of their room, eating, like always.

"Yo Mino, Lukas! Welcome back. Want some rice crackers, you three?" holding his bag forward Minoru and Svantje didn't hesitate to take a cracker.

"So? If Mr. Elite personally seeks us out means you need our help, right? How can we help you?" The raven haired smirked at his fellow agent, who just smiled his signature smile in return.

"Glad to count on you guys, the thing is..."

"I really need to find my spare key again."

"Woof woof!"

"Don't give me that. I know it's somewhere in my apartment."

"Woof?"

"Yes, I'm sure and I should stop talking or people think I'm crazy."

Minoru rolled his eyes as he saw his puppy tilting his head looking at him 'innocently'. The raven haired man turned up the volume on his music player a little. After Jin explained his favor, the raven haired went to his apartment to check if everything was alright there. Unlike Lukas and Svantje, who lived in Border, he had his own place.

The young man was quite surprised to find it clean. It turned out that his grandmother came to Mikado City and cleaned it for him when he found her note and he had no idea how she got in there.

Now Minoru was on his way to the graveyard wanting to visit a couple of people.

He always visited them when he needed it, it was to remind him why he was doing this, why he couldn't give up, his reason to continue to fight.

Visiting each grave Minoru finally arrived at the one he wanted to see the most.

The grave of his parents.

Taking a deep breath Minoru lowered himself to the ground, his fingers tangled in his hair as he looked on the ground. Sitting in the silence for a while Minoru tried to collect his thoughts. Even though he visit this grave quite often, he never knew what to say immediately.

Sighing again the young man finally looked up.

"Hey Mom, hey Dad... I'm back. The expedition was a success, but I didn't find out much about Mirai's or Koji's whereabouts. There were rumors, but I can't count on them." Minoru gently bit his lower lip.

"I ask myself so often how you two would react to this mess. Your youngest son kidnapped, your daughter apparently betrayed Border and your oldest son not being able to prevent it, being damaged like that."

They would be disappointed in you, for failing like that.

A groan came out of Minoru when he heard that voice, but he didn't stop.

"But what I really want to know is... Would you still accept me despite being different? Despite that I'm gay? Despite what I have done to myself?"

No, they wouldn't. No one would truly accept you like this. You saw that they disappeared out of your live.

There was a long and lonely silence, the only thing Minoru could hear was the music he listened to and that annoying voice which was creeping in his head. He sat there like he was waiting for an answer, even when the raven haired knew he would never get one. Unconsciously his left hand went to his right wrist, caressing gentle his biggest secret that even his best friends didn't know of.

"It's been years, yet this still worries me..." Suddenly the young man felt something nudging against his leg and as he glanced to his side he saw Taka rubbing his head against his owners leg, whining sadly.

A gentle smile came out of Minoru and petted the Samoyed.

"Thanks Taka-chan..." Finally standing up he looked at the grave one more time. "I'm going then you two. I will visit you soon again."

"... What's more, the A-Rank Miwa's squad is present. Even if I use the Black Trigger I'd probably be able to hold out fine for five minutes tops." Thats what Jin was saying, before a smug smile came on his lips. "That is to say 'if I were by myself'."

"What...?!"

Before any of them could react there were several people jumping on the roof of a building while one person appeared out of no where besides Jin.

"Arashiyama and Hatohara squad have arrived!" Squad leader Arashiyama Jun called them out. "We have come here on General Manager Shinoda's Order to act as reinforcement to the Tamakoma's Branch!"

"Arashiyama squad?!"

"Minoru..." Kazama Souya looked directly at said person who just grinned at him. At first Minoru didn't listen to the others as they came down from the building until he heard Kitora talk about her order.

"Oh? Are you sure it has nothing to do with that you want to prove, yet again, that you're better than Osamu?" Minoru always teased people he didn't like and Kitora belonged to them.

"Wah-?! Of course not! Anyway how do you know about him?!" Kitora didn't even bother to hide her blush, what made Minoru chuckle.

"My little Sunshine told me."

"Now, now you two." Jin interrupted them. "We're here for a reason."

There was a quick exchange between Jin and Tachikawa, before the latter drew his sword alarming everyone to get ready for the fight.

Without hesitating a second Kazama squad charged towards them, Scorpion in their hands. But before Kazama could strike Minoru let a cube appear besides him, which split in several smaller cubes flying towards Kazama, he blocked them with his Shield.

While Jin took care of Utagawa, Tachikawa strikes at the S-Rank, but Jin was able to easily block it. But of course the Attacker wasn't finished there and activated Senkuu. Minoru, Jin and Arashiyama squad jumped to avoid the attack. Arashiyama fired a shot which exploded as it hit a building, before they landed on a different building.

"Oh? They're splitting up." Minoru noted as some of them ran to a different direction.

"What do we do about this situations?" Arashiyama turned his head a little, so he was able to look at Jin.

"It's not really a problem, it puts me at ease just knowing that you guys are here."

"Judging by the movements... Tachikawa and Souya are going to be the offense with the latter squad, while Miwa and Kouhei are going to be the support. Yosuke and Kodera are probably going to join soon, too. I'm not sure where the snipers could be."

"Miwa-sempai has also Lead Bullet like Minoru-sempai. His role must be to stop our movements." Tokieda added which Minoru confirmed with a nod.

"We should also split up. While we fight against the support group, Jin-san and Hatohara-sempai will fight against the Offense group."

"Svantje." Minoru held his ear, so he could communicate to her, who was hiding in the buildings all the time. "You also support Arashiyama squad."

"Okay~"

Suddenly they saw a small group heading towards them and all of them knew it was time to act.

"Here they are." Jin grinned. "Beat them smartly, Arashiyama."

"Right back at you, Jin" he smirked, before his squad ran to another direction.

Once Arashiyama squad disappeared advanced both Jin and Minoru towards the other group.

"Hey Mino, I want to avoid fighting them as much as possible, so please make sure to let them run out of Trion instead to engage them."

"As you like."

Just before they arrived, both Tachikawa and Kazama charged at them, while Jin blocked the former's attack, Minoru got between him and Kazama, blocking his Scorpion attack with his own Scorpion. But the raven haired noticed that the older wasn't finished yet and another blade came out of the attackers forearm, which Minoru barely manage to dodge.

Suddenly he felt that someone pulled him on his uniform and saw that a shot flew by his eyes. Giving Jin a thankful nod Minoru let a cube appear, which split in smaller ones again, before it flew towards his opponents. The raven haired didn't let them get a chance to block as he suddenly changed the trajectory of his shots to grazing them at several places.

After waiting what felt like a minute Tachikawa charged towards Jin again and Kazama this time at Minoru.

"What's wrong Jin? Why aren't you using Fuujin?" Tachikawa asked, while Kazama attacked Minoru again.

"You're way to passive Minoru." Said person just smirked at him as he blocked another attack.

"What are you two planning?"

"Hmph. They aren't fighting fair and square, just simply stalling for time. As we speak the Tamakoma's members are certainly running away along with the neighbor." Kikuchihara narrowed his eyes as he glanced at Jin and Minoru, especially at Minoru.

"No." Kazama intervenes. "Jin is using his foresight to protect himself and Minoru isn't using his real fighting style yet. They're making us deplete our Trion. Their aim is to get us to withdraw by having us run out of Trion."

Minoru stopped to listen as they found out their plan and started to talk to Jin via internal communication.

"So? Do you have another plan or do you want to stick with this?"

"It depends on what Kazama-san is deciding now, but I can already think of what happens. You can go all out once I activated Fuujin, you take care of Utagawa and the snipers, I will take of the rest."

"Alright."

"Let's head to Tamakoma." Once Minoru stopped the conversation he heard Kazama making the order. Jin sigh.

"Good grief... I knew it'll turn out like this..."

Suddenly the S-Rank swung his sword and several ribbons came out of it. One of them disappeared in the wall and before everyone knew it came a slash out, cutting Kikuchihara's head off and forces him to Bail out.

"You took it out huh? Fuujin." Tachikawa smirked, Jin just returned it with his own smirk.

"I don't have a choice, but to go with plan B." Jin continue to smirk, while Minoru got into a fighting stance, with no Triggers out. "I hate to do this, but I need all of you to lose and go home."

Minoru saw that both Kazama and Utagawa jumped on the rooftops, but Jin still managed to hit the latter with Fuujin. As the both of them activated Chameleon Minoru did the same, following them on the rooftops.

"Lukas, once I took care of Ryou, follow Jin's traces and mark for me all the possible sniper locations."

"Copy that."

With Chameleon on, it was difficult for the raven haired to find them only with only the information Lukas provided him, but they made the mistake to talk. He may not have a Side Effect like Kikuchihara, but it was enough to punch the right person, making him fly back by a few meters.

Just like Jin wanted Minoru let the other one get away while he saw that the person he punched turned off his Chameleon. Like he guessed it was Utagawa.

"Sorry Ryou, but I need that Yuma on our good terms since I want to ask him something." Minoru said as he turned his own Chameleon off.

With that he put a Grasshopper on the ground and stepped on it, speeding towards the younger one, this makes Utagawa appear two Scorpions in each hand, ready to strike at Minoru. But the latter just smirked at that and used another Grasshopper to dodge.

The raven haired quickly grabbed the others arm and twisted his own body to throw Utagawa on the ground. While he used Shield to block the Asteroids of the other he let a Scorpion blade come out of his arm aiming it directly at the younger head, but Utagawa blocked it with his own Shield.

Minoru just smirked as another blade came out of his body, hitting the others chest directly.

Trion supply unit damaged. Bail out.

"Sorry again Ryou." After he watched the other Bail out, Minoru turned around. "Well then, time to find the snipers."
