HI AGAIN! *Chuckles nervously at glares* I know, that I have no right to be starting another story, but I wanted one last non-promised story. My next few stories will be from my contests, or will be the long-awaited sequels. Plus I'll have to start studying for midterms. I just wanted to throw this out there. The pairing will be Akira/Kengo, with Master(Shuichi)/Shirogane! There will be some bashing of Kengo's sister, but it won't be a lot since she's not really in this story. Let's start ok?

Disclaimer: I own a nickel... that's about it.

Chapter 1

Kengo lay on a bench in the park. They had just fought the Kokuchi, and won, thankfully, but not without getting some serious injuries. While the others had went to Master's bar for treatment, he had turned down the offer to go with them in favor of going home. He knew that his sister Mayu was going to be mad at him. It was his job to have a hot dinner, and a spotless house for her when she got home. But he had gotten there after her, and he didn't have time to do the laundry that morning. She beat him, and kicked him out of the house. He deserved it though. He was just happy that she didn't leave him like their parents did...

Flashback

It was a great day. His parents had told them that morning that they were going to have a picnic on the beach. He was so excited! He and Mayu even got to help! He helped their mom cook, while she helped their dad gather the stuff they needed. They had gotten to the beach an hour later. They stayed there all day. He even played with a few kids his age. That's when it all went bad. Kengo and his dad were playing Frisbee when his mom called out to them.

"Guys come on! It's time to go!" Kengo backed up a little, and bit his lip. He didn't want to leave yet. His dad tugged on his hand slightly, to prod him toward the car.

"Kengo. We need to go. We can come back some other time." Kengo shook his head, and started crying. "Kengo. I promise we'll come back." Kengo shook his head, and threw a tantrum as his father picked him up, and started carrying him to the car. His parents were mad at him, he could tell. The car was even swerving slightly.

"We're supposed to be going in the opposite direction dear." His mother muttered.

"I know. But this route gives me more time to talk to our son about his behavior. I can't BELIEVE how you acted today Kengo! When you were told to come to the car, you should have listened! Now we have to take the long way home because I had to talk to you about your behavior!" That's when the truck came. It was larger than their small car, and was swerving in and out of it's lane. Their father had turned the car in time so the truck missed the back of the car, where Mayu and Kengo were sitting. Their parents hadn't managed to avoid the collision, though. The truck hit them head on.

Present time

That was the last Kengo had seen of his parents. He had woken up inside of the hospital. When he had asked to see them, the doctor had just shaken her head, and told him that he wouldn't see them again. It was his fault they died. If he had just done what they had asked of him, they'd still be here. His sister wouldn't hate him.

"Kengo?" He cracked open an eye to see everyone standing over him.

"K-Kou-Nii" Kengo managed to croak out. Kou bent down to examine wounds that weren't there before.

"Did she do this to you? Don't lie to me." Kou added, seeing the panicked expression. Kengo nodded reluctantly after a few minutes. Kou's eyes narrowed. He picked up Kengo from the bench.

"You're not living with her anymore." The others looked on as Kou and Kengo argued. Akira's eyes narrowed as well. Why did Kou-Nii know something about Kengo that he didn't? They were all surprised when Kengo started crying and apologising. He was clutching Kou's shirt and was saying something about Kou leaving. Not liking the situation, Aya stepped forward.

"Is Kengo ok?"

"No. He's not." Haruka asked the next question.

"What's wrong with him?" Kou looked at Kengo.

"I'm going to tell them." That was it. Kou wasn't asking for permission. He was simply warning Kengo of what was going to happen next. Kengo nodded slightly, and braced himself for what was going to happen next.

That was the first chapter! Please Review.
