Chapter 1: From the ashes
"So who are you and how do you know my name?"
"you considered my blood as your own"
"What do you mean?? and who are you?"
"My name is Mana, my brother is the one that lays in that coffin"
Jojo just looks wide eyed in disbelief, Koa never mentioned anything about having a brother, Jojo thinks to himself as to why Koa never mentioned it before, was it because these two have some history about not getting along, or maybe it was to save each other, well Jojo is going to find out.
"You can't be Koa's Brother, he didn't have one."
"As far as you know of"
As Mana walks towards the coffin he looks down at Koa no sign of any emotions, no sign of anger, sorrow, or even regret can be felt from the stare of this mysterious who.
"Ohana I'a Ola"
Jojo then walks up to the other who as he can't believe why Koa never tell him that he had a brother.
"My brother never tell you about me because it was to protect me"
"What do you mean?"
"My brother didn't want you to find because he thought that I would take you from him. My brother was always the one risking his neck for others in situations that he could not handle alone. And here I come, even though younger than him I solved the problem. He always envied me because I was stronger but I envy him even more"
"Why would you envy your own brother for?"
"I envy him because he is able to feel emotions, he was able to feel love, sadness, anger, happiness. I can't, well not anymore any way"
"Is that why you don't look at all moved by what happened to your brother?"
"Yes that is exactly why. As much as I would like to cry it seems that I can't"
Jojo then looks at this who and begins to believe that this might actually be Koa's brother, but why did this who feel nothing at all? It is as if he is but an empty shell not capable of human feelings...Is he even human?
"Would you like to know the story about me and Koa Jojo?"
"Yes please, tell me what happened, and why Koa never told me about you"
"We were just kids about 4 years apart, Koa would always get picked on by other whos because he was different then they were, and every time he would get into a fight, little Mana comes to his brother's aid and gets him out of the jam. Our dad was an abusive bastard, Once I seen him beat Koa once just for leaving the light on I made a deal with him, almost like making a deal with the whovil himself. I told him I wouldn't go to the police if he stopped beating Koa, So he started beating me in Koa's place. At first I felt the emotions, the stinging feeling of being wacked, the blow of every punch"
Mana then rolls up his left sleeve to show a scar that is 3 inches in length
"the pain that shot through my shoulder where he "accidently" stabbed me with a knife. After that my emotions all just seemed to fade away like a memory"
Jojo is now on the brink of tears as he cannot believe that these two brothers endured so much and are still living. Mana then begins to walk into the other direction away from Jojo, but Jojo quietly follows behind listening as Mana begins to recite a poem
I dream of a place
where pain doesn't exist
I long for a home
where suffering does not live
I desire a bed
made of love and comfort
To rest my tired head
after all the trials I endured
I crave a friend
who knows what I feel
even without asking
But I wake up
to the voice of rage
I wake up
To the face of death
I Hope to be like the sand on the beach
The shadow on the moon
the flowers in the wind
I just want to fade into a memory
Jojo begins to cry as he stops dead in his tracks when Mana turns around, Mana as you know shows no expression on his face to the frightened who, as he simply walks up and slowly wraps his arms around the crying who, as he manages to say in a monotone voice
"Just because I can't feel any emotions, Doesn't mean I cannot sense that of others"
Jojo just simply rests his head on the shoulder of Mana, not holding back the tears. Several minutes have passed and Jojo has finally stopped crying, as they head over to Koa's favorite spot and sit down looking out at Whoville.
"My brother loved this spot, It was like his sanctuary, He felt no problems or pain while here."
"yeah your brother really did love this spot"
As the stars begin to come out and the sun begins to set, Mana stands up and dusts himself off, before looking down at Jojo and brushing his spiked hair.
"You should get going Jojo, it's getting late, and you know as well as I do that there are a lot of weird people that come out at night"
"What about you? come with me? I know my parents will let you stay in place of Koa."
As Mana simply nods and begins to walk with Jojo they get to his house as his parents are waiting for him by the front door.
"Jojo where were you?! your mom and I was very worried"
"Hun it has only been 5 minutes"
"Still though Jojo get in here and get ready for bed"
Jojo then walks in and is about to say something when his dad looks At Mana
"As for you, you trouble maker I think it's time for you to go home"
Ned then slams the door on Mana and walks away
"Mom, dad just slammed the door on Koa's brother"
"Really! well go open it quick and see if he is still there"
"Mana I am so so...."
Jojo then looks around but Mana is nowhere to be seen, Jojo's heart just drops as he slowly closes the door.
"Was he still there hun?"
"No he wasn't mom, dad scared him off, and now look I probably won't ever see him again" Jojo then walks into his room all sad and sitting down on the bottom of his bunk bed, but little did he know, that outside his window Mana sits in the tree resting up against the bark as he takes a look at Jojo and says in his monotone voice.
"Sleep well Jojo, I'll see you in the morning"
Mana then drifts off to sleep under the full moons light....
