"Bye-bye nii-san..."
I gasp for air as the nightmare kept repeating itself in my head. I looked around, there was a Russian child in my bedroom...the same one who comfort me to sleep. I glared at the clock, it read 5:02 am. Seven hours had pasted by since I last woken up. I got up from the bed making sure not to make a sound. I glanced back at him before leaving the room, he looked peaceful and defenseless. "It would be nice to be a child again, aru" Innocence begins to fade away and worries stack up like no tomorrow. I'm not sure how long I'll be in charge of the household. Well, that's what I get for being the eldest of the family.
I walked down the quiet hallways towards the kitchen, maybe a cup of herbal tea will clear my mind. After I got my tea I heard a soft grunting sound close by. I followed it outside the backyard and stopped dead on my tracks when I saw him.
He moved carefully, flawless and with force upfront with his kanata. He was concentrating very hard. His eyes moved along with his movements but he had a worried face on.
"Mph...I need to do it soon." he mumbled. "I'll just- Nii-san? How long have you been standing there? Was I too loud?" He was startled.
"Oh no, not at all Kiku. It's just I couldn't sleep. I woke up and heard you, aru." I took another sip of tea. He instantly looked up.
"You too?" I barely heard him. Our eyes meet.
"What do you mean?"
"The reason I'm awake practicing judo is because I had so much on my mind. I need distraction. Since everyone else was still asleep, I came outside. This is the perfect time to get it over with..." "I'm still not sure why he is still here..." He's voice grew cold. It kind of shocked me. It was rare to find him speaking that way. He only used that tone when there was something seriously bothering him...
"Sure, aru." I stood up and gestured him inside the house. It was almost the end of winter here in China, the days grew shorter and colder. It was still dark outside but the moon stood by shining from aside. The wind breezed into the leafless trees. The black catfish in the mini pond moved a bit. My small bamboo field around the fence danced along with the wind. The plum blossoms were still tiny and hidden. The wind had calmed down but it was too cold for me. Wearing thin sleeveless pajamas wasn't helping either.
He agreed to go inside with a small nod. He entered the house without loosing his grip on to his kanata. I looked away and closed the back screen door. We quietly went back to the kitchen. I couldn't help but feel that I shouldn't have left my bedroom. Even if I couldn't sleep I shouldn't have left that room. I don't like where this was going. Why?
I kept sipping on my tea until I was left with an empty cup. I looked back at Kiku. "Would you like some tea? You must be freezing..." I brushed my hand against his cheek, he pushed it away. Annoyance hinted on his face. His face was cold as ice. I wonder how long he was he outside.
"Nii-san. Please stop." He said emotionless. I wasn't sure if I was awake. I took one small step back. His grip was stronger than before.
"I appreciate everything you've done for me. Honestly, arigato. But I need my independence."
It was that time again...
I grabbed on to the chair. "You're leaving me?" I tried to let it sink in but it wasn't reaching me.
"Hai. I feel like I'm being held back with you." He look away.
"...no," I tried to hold it in but it slipped.
"What?" He snapped.
Little did I know that I had a pair of violet eyes spotting me from far as the kanata slashed in front of me.
