I hated my brother.

All the time, every day, he holed himself up in his room, away from the world outside him.

He had everything I wanted, yet he treated it like it was nothing. He was the smartest, the best- always in the spotlight, always most loved- and it was all nothing to him.

Ever since he had shut himself off from the world around him, Mom had cried every single day.

But that only made me hate him even more.

But now that I saw him, collapsed on his bed like a broken marionette, I thought: was it my actions that led to this?

Back before that thought had ever occurred, I had confronted him. Shouted carelessly, Why do you keep on hurting people? Why do you keep on hurting us? You never tell us anything, even though we worry about you! You have everything I want, but you act like you don't care.

But he had only stared at me with his dark, soulless eyes, and replied,

"You're right.

"I don't deserve any of this. Everything you wanted? Don't make me laugh. Everything you wanted is everything I hate. I wasn't good enough to save her. I'm not even good enough to move on."

And then he had smiled, a bitter smile that spoke on so many levels- level I couldn't understand.

And I hated it. I hated that smile, the smile that showed that no matter how hard I tried, I would never understand-that I would never be as good as my brother.

I hated that smile to no end.

Then die! Die so we can move on! I had yelled cruelly and ran away, ran away from the monster that wasn't my brother.

But here I was.

Right in front of his room, the door wide open and showing me the tragedy inside.

And as I felt the tears running down my cheeks and watch red, red, red drip down from my brother's limp hand, I could only think,

'This is all my fault.'

Annnddd there it is. My first story.

Normally, I don't like putting 'I'm a new author and this is my first story so go easy on me' anywhere onto a story, but I DO want some pity (if you can call it that), so I would be extremely happy if you could fill me in on the details about .

I will accept hard-cored criticism, so please feel free to tell me your comments. However, I will not tolerate any flames. 'Cause those are just plain mean.

Some of the story was adapted from a doujin I read (Die-hard Kagepro fan right here). I was too shy to ask for permission and too lazy to properly credit it (lol), so I'll put the link on my profile.

Please tell me your thoughts, and thanks for giving this thing a read! (A mere attempt is accepted as well)

Jin out.
