Hi, people! Tune in again with me, SanadaJoZhao!

Sorry for being hiatus for sooooooooooooooo long time!

Schools, organizations, many things wall me from writing -_-

About A Brother's Job, I'm still working on new ideas and links due to Nobuyuki's debut.

You still remember my Narrator Brothers right? They're taking a family trip, so (with a heavy heart, scrap that) I will take full control of my fanfics.

I'm no perfect! So, please feel free to flame, critic, or anything ya wanna give.

Sorry for grammatical errors too -_-

Enjoy!

'That's it! I'm going after him!'

The older Sanada couldn't take it anymore. Yukimura's been in water for almost four hours! His brotherly instinct gave him an ultimatum to catch up with Yukimura. Besides, it's too long for someone who doesn't like diving in particular such as his brother. Nobuyuki snatched his diving goggle on the long beach chair next to him. He wouldn't have been so frantic if Yukimura had his diving equipment and had worn a diving suit instead of a regular swimsuit.

"Nobuyuki-sama, wait!" He stopped at once and looked back. Ina stared him in worry, "Let me come with you," Nobuyuki smiled and shook his head, gently and lovingly caressed Ina's smooth and fair cheek. "Then who shall be here to sustain me in case anything bad happens?"

"Nobuyuki-sama..." she shook and lowered her head, wrapping her arms to Nobuyuki's well-built body in dark blue swimsuit.

"Just make sure you two make it out alive,"

Nobuyuki hugged back, soothingly and firmly answered, "We will." He laid a gentle kiss on her cheeks, and walked to the sea as he put on his goggle.

Ina, stood a few meters before the shore as she watches her husband disappeared into the clear blue gentle wave water. Hands clasped in front of her chest, praying for her family's safety. Tears ran down her cheeks, chased by horrifying images of possibilities if the brothers didn't make it out (such as eaten by sharks, bitten by poisonous creatures, drowned into a trench, etc.) She shook her head in instant, wiping away the crystal liquor from her cheeks and eyes. They'll make it. They're very strong and hard head when it comes to each other's well-being. I have to believe they'll make it out.

Nobuyuki had dived around three meters below the water surface for around ten minutes but nothing he found till this second. Just as he started to get desperate, he sees something black with some red lines on it few meters away on the bare ocean floor near a bunch of beautiful multi-colored corals, surrounded by some curious multi-colored fishes.

He dived deeper to reach the black matter. 'Yukimura!' His mind screamed as he realized the black matter was his unconscious brother. Nobuyuki swam as fast as he could to reach Yukimura before it was all too late.

A smile carved on Nobuyuki's lips as he found active pulse below his brother's neck. He then checked quickly yet thoroughly on the unconscious body. Spotting some blood trail from Yukimura's feet, Nobuyuki carefully examined his brother's feet soles.

Blood spots were seen on the right sole. His heart pounded twice harder than before. He must've accidently stomped a stone fish! His eyes scanned the coral next to him. There it is! In a small gap between a sea fan and an anemone, a pair of small fearful eyes was staring at him, it calmed his raging heart. Thank goodness it's not lethal. Nobuyuki then circled his left arm to Yukimura's underarm and swam to surface slowly to prevent any dizziness from water pressure difference.

'Oh, not them!' Nobuyuki spotted some transparent cubical jellyfishes swimming only few centimeters from surface when he was approximately two meters below surface. As he moved closer to surface, he held his brother's body tighter, his eyeballs randomly and quickly rolled. He was 'drawing' an invisible escape route through the delicate spaces between the tentacles. It took him three times to perfectly form it, minimizing any chances (even the slightest one) of getting touched by those deadly thin tentacles.

Nobuyuki got to admit, swimming through the route is much harder than 'drawing' it. Not to mention his brother's clinging to his arm which made things went harder. As he drew closer to surface, he saw that those beautiful and deadly creatures were swimming away from his range. As if they were clearing a path for him.

'Now this is strange, they would usually sting anything on their range.'

The older Sanada didn't bother to think about that too far at the moment. His brother's life was at stake. Few minutes later, he finally succeeded to surface his head and breathe all oxygen he could muster; he dragged Yukimura's body up so he could breathe anytime he wakes up.

Nobuyuki drew Yukimura's head closer to his shoulder and swam straight to the shore which was 'only' ten meters away.

Around two meters later, he felt something hard and hairy hit his lower left jaw real hard. And Yukimura's body suddenly moved like crazy! His legs were kicking like an injured blind wild boar. Nobuyuki glanced to his brother's face. His eyes were still closed, but his face, it looked as if he was enduring the worst nightmare he had ever had. Like it or not, Nobuyuki had to stop and embrace his brother's vigorously-moving body tightly, giving him a sense of security. It took Nobuyuki five minutes to fully encircle his arms.

"Shh... it's alright, I'm here Yukimura... I got you... it's alright... shh..." he gently rubbed Yukimura's back many times to comfort him, assuring the brunette if his brother is here with him.

It worked, Yukimura calmed down, his body stopped moving, still closing his eyes, he mumbled, "Aniue?"

Nobuyuki kissed his brother's wet head lovingly. "Yes, I'm here, otouto..." just then, Yukimura drifted back to sleep. His terrified facial expression had worn off and had been replaced by a soothed one, reflected that the younger man knows he's safe in his brother's arms.

Nobuyuki glad the method he had used during their childhood still worked perfectly. Now, knowing that his younger brother had fallen asleep, he swam as quickly and as careful as possible.

On his arm's second paddle, his body was jolted up by strikes of pain growing in his limbs where Yukimura had hit him hard. In the same time, he felt his right leg and chest were stung and burnt. It hurt like hell, it felt like you were slashed by thousands volts electricity and burnt by fire that was seven times hotter than the hottest flame he had ever encountered.

Numbness attacked his body followed by weakness, blurry vision, painful headache like you were bashed tons of sharp and dull rocks, his stomach began to discomfort him, making him want to spit all he had consumed today, his breathing went so hard like he's being strangled by someone in Tadakatsu's caliber. But that's not it, his heartbeat was getting chaotic. For some seconds, it was very slow and some seconds it went so fast and (d**n) strong his heart felt like it was going to explode!

To make things worse, his sense was slipping from him and his muscles felt like being pulled so tight and tied in knots he barely could move them. He could tell so because none of his limbs are responding to his brain's orders. Blast! I can't fall now! Yukimura needs me! He snapped out of the side-effects and gathered strength he could muster and paddled his right arm and legs, ignoring the hellish torment that was consuming his body.
