Chapter 2- Guilt

They called four the forth time that day. A 13-year-old Kazukiyo walked to the phone angrily as I watched.

"Yes! We're here with them! Now, STOP CALLING." He yelled into the phone at Child Services.

"Because. My aunt is very depressed right now at her brother's death! So, no you can't talk to her! Trust me we're fine!" He lied through his teeth. Truth is, No one really took care of us. He ran his hand through his brown hair.

"NO!" He slammed the phone down onto the receiver. Shuichi... Shuichi... Wake up... Shuichi...

Shuichi woke up to the sound of his sister's voice. "Shuichi, we need to take you to the Hospital." She said softly because it was 6:00 am.

"No!" Shuichi said with a quick flash of fright in his eyes that his sister didn't notice. "NONONONONONONONONO." He absolutely refused. Her sister pouted.

"Come on Shuichi! Your acting like a baby! Your hurt you NEED TO GO." She said sternly.

"No i'm not, i'm okay!" To prove his point Shuichi tried to get out of his sister's bed, but couldn't lift his leg. He winced at the pain.

"See?" She said in a voice that said I-told-you-so.

The door flew open. "Shuichi! It's fucking 6 am! I NEED rest! Do what your sister tells you to!" Kazukiyo yelled.

"Stop yelling!" Hitomi replied.

Kazukiyo walked up to them. He opened his mouth to say something but then he reasoned in his head for a bit. "I need to get up in a couple of hours anyway...Maybe I should take you?" Kazukiyo asked Shuichi.

He wants to go somewhere? At 6 am? With ME? What should I say? What if I say yes and then he hurts me on the way? What if he doesn't take me at all? What if-

"Shuichi?" Kazukiyo asked. He usually isn't this nice...it's...unusual.

"O-okay." Shuichi stuttered with a shaky voice that his sister didn't detect. Hitomi looked utterly confused.

"Okay then." Hitomi said then walked out of the room. But before she walked out she gave her brother a silent non-verbal threat with her eyes: Hurt him and die.

Kazukiyo replied silently back with his eyes: Don't worry about it, Hitomi.

Kazukiyo walked over to Shuichi and knelled down backwards so that way Shuichi could get to the car on his back. "Hop on." Kazukiyo said.

Shuichi got on his brother's back. Shuichi liked the position they were both in. His brother felt warm. Nice.

Kazukiyo stepped outside to reveal lots of snow. He rushed to his car.

….

When they were at the hospital Kazukiyo put on his best "nice" act. Despite the way he acted towards his brother he acted nice to everyone else. Everyone who has met him accept his Shuichi would probably say: "He's very nice and polite." pfft. What a lie.

When everything was said and done, it turned out that Shuichi only had a broken leg and just a slightly cracked rib. He got a cast and a few bandages. Nothing too major. Though Shuichi wasn't even thinking about the pain. What hurt more were the words. Those hurt the most.

Shuichi's eyes started to water remembering it. Kazukiyo heard Shuichi mumble something under his breath that sounded like "Sorry...didn't mean to...call...please...don't hit...again..." Was all Kazukiyo could make out. He could feel the little curls of guilt begin to form in his stomach but quickly shrugged the feeling away then told his brother tot stop crying like a little baby.

"Yes." Was all he got in response. Inside him Kazukiyo could feel that... little spark in his stomach that soon quickly grew making his body become tired. Good thing he was pulling up in the drive way.

He helped his brother out of the car while saying something under his breath that sounded like "Sometimes your so damn useless." Kazukiyo carried his brother to the house and threw him on the couch, releasing a yelp of pain from Shuichi. Then he threw himself on the opposite couch.

"Can you help me up, nii-chan?" Shuichi knew Kazukiyo didn't mind when he was called that... Kazukiyo walked over to the other couch and pushed Shuichi down back onto the couch.

"Sleep. Like the doctor said." Truth was he just wanted rest and not to be bothered.

"O-okay..." Kazukiyo got a blanket and put it over his brother. Then plopped himself on the other couch. And went to sleep due to the drowsiness.

….

Shuichi woke up before his older brother than had a sudden urge to want to talk to Yuki. He carefully slipped the cellphone from his brother's pocket. This is something Shuichi would usually NEVER do. But for Yuki he would do anything. A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G.

He tiptoed to his room and quietly shut the door. He dialed the number while saying them aloud. Ring...ring...ring...ring...

"Hello?"

"Yuki!" Shuichi said happily. He was so relieved it almost made him cry. "How are you doing?"

"Fine, brat," Shuichi could practically hear Yuki smoking on the other side of the phone. "Have you been getting in any trouble?" Yuki asked with a bit of concern.

"Um... not really..." Shuichi said nervously. Through the door he could hear Kazukiyo start to get up from the couch. He figured he'd better hurry up. "W-when are you going to be home?"

"I already told you brat. About a week. But I guess I could come home a little bit early if you miss me that much." Yuki said in kind of a mocking tone.

"Really? Yuki I love you!"

"Yeah, yeah-" Shuichi could hear Kazukiyo approach the door.

"Gotta go, love you. Bye!" He said in a rushed tone then quickly hung up right before the door opened.

Kazukiyo walked up to him and took his phone back. "Who'd you call?" He asked.

"U-um... N-no one..." Kazukiyo looked puzzled.

"Don't lie to me." He said in a kind of playful tone of voice. It was very different from his usual one. It made Shuichi feel very uncomfortable.

Shuichi didn't answer so Kazukiyo checked his phone's history. "Who's number is this?" He asked in the same playful tone of voice. It was seriously starting to worry Shuichi.

"Y-Yuki..." He said, starting to tremble now.

"Yuki...Yuki...Yuki..." Kazukiyo repeated to himself as if he didn't know who that was. "Who's that again?"

"K-Kazukiyo...? Are you okay...?"

"Kazukiyo?" I'm not Kazukiyo... I'm..."
