"I will NOT have that little freak around my son any longer!"
Takeru's Mother screamed at her husband in the living room while Takeru huddled outside on the apartments deck. He hated it when they fought but it had been getting worse lately and he didn't know why. He knew his Mommy didn't love Yamato anymore and in fact almost seemed to hate him. She would take him out with her on shopping trips instead of letting Yamato baby sit in anymore too.
He didn't like that either. She might not love Yamato anymore but he did. His brother was nice to him, never yelled or snapped like she did and was around a lot more then his Daddy. Yamato was real strong and kept mean older kids from bugging him too. He didn't like being alone and away from Yamato. All they had was each other now that his Mommy was being so mean.
Yamato was back in his room far away from him. They shared a room but lately his Mommy had forced him to sleep with her in the big bed. His Daddy had gotten mad at that and was sleeping on the couch now too. When she had started yelling at Daddy she'd sent him out to the porch instead of to his room because Yamato was there.
"What the hell is your problem there's nothing wrong with him! Don't forget either that Takeru isn't your only son!!"
His Daddy was shouting back now looking really angry. Takeru watched them from the porch and looked beyond them to the hallway. Yamato was standing just outside his door watching their parents fight. He looked sad and angry at the same time. Takeru wanted to go and hug him but his Mom had locked both doors to the deck.
Yamato shifted his gaze and looked back at him managing a small smile even though Takeru knew he didn't feel like smiling. He walked slowly down the hallway keeping one eye on the arguing parents. At one point they completely turned away from the hallway and Yamato darted into the kitchen. Takeru ran over to the door that lead to the dinning room and watched as Yamato struggled to open the heavy sliding door. The minute he got it open wide enough Takeru darted through and flung his arms around Yamato's waist.
"It's okay Take-chan I'm sure they'll stop soon." He said quietly kneeling down and wrapping his arms around Takeru.
Takeru nodded and snuggled into his brothers arms feeling just a bit safer and more secure then before. He didn't care if his parents fought or if his Mommy didn't love both of them as much anymore as long as he was with Yamato everything would be fine. Picking him up Yamato managed to sneak back to their room with him. They sat on the bed taking comfort in each others presence.
The loud voices of their parents continued for sometime and eventually Takeru drifted off to sleep curled up in Yamato's lap. Yamato's head resting in his hair both arms wrapped protectively around him. It was sometime later that the voice came down the hallway and the door opened waking him up.
"He has to be in here. I bet that sick freak went and took him back here." His Mother's voice said as the door opened the light hurting his eyes.
"Mommy?" Takeru asked not sure what was going to happen but sure that he'd be taken away from Yamato again.
"Come on honey, get up." She said not sounding very loving.
He didn't know what else to do so he went to get up but found that Yamato had his arms wrapped tightly around him. He looked up to see that Yamato was awake also and frowning.
"What's going on?" Yamato asked his voice cold.
"Let him go. Your leaving." She said sounding even meaner then before.
Takeru didn't know what was going on but he knew if Yamato was leaving he wouldn't come back. He leaned back farther against Yamato and gripped his arms closer around him. He was frightened, he didn't want Yamato to leave.
"Let go of my son now!" His Mommy yelled reached out and pulling Takeru away from Yamato and up into her arms.
Their Father came in a grabbed Yamato by the arms before he could react. Yamato tried to pull away but couldn't escape the strong grasp of their Father.
"Come on Yamato, it seems neither of us is welcome here anymore." He said pulling Yamato towards the door.
Takeru tried to get out of his Mother's arms as she walked out of the bedroom and down the hall but he was too small to do much. His Father was dragging Yamato out the door of the apartment not even bothering to make him put his shoes on. Yamato was giving him desperate glances and Takeru watched crying as the door closed behind them.
"There finally he's gone. It's just you and me now Takeru. I wont ever let that freak near you again if I can help it."
That night was the first time in weeks that Takeru was allowed to sleep back in his own room. But without Yamato's comforting presence in the other bed he didn't sleep until pure exhaustion pulled him under.

Lala well that's how or why their parents split up. The next chapter will be around when Takeru is thirteen.
