Chapter 1

Hiroki POV; Dream

"Nii-sama!" someone called me, I look up from the book then close it and put it down next to me I was reading and see a young boy walking toward me with a camellia flower crown in his hands.

"Let me guess, playing in the garden again Kurai?" I ask him and he smiles.

"I made this for you Nii-sama." He tells me and puts the crown on my head. "Do you like it?" he asks me.

"Yes, I do." I reply "Come here you." I tell the boy, then pick him up and put him in my lap hugging him from behind.

"I love you Nii-sama." He says and I smile.

"I love you too, Kurai." I say and kiss the top of his head.

"There you two are." We look to see a young man and preteen boy. "Come on father wants to see us." The young man says and walks off with the preteen close behind.

"Okay, wait up you two." I say and gently push the kid off my lap, we then get up and follow the two others hand in hand.

End of dream

"Hiro-san, Hiro-san wake up." I open my eyes to see Nowaki over me.

"Ngh, oh morning Nowaki." I say. "That dream again." I thought.

"You okay Hiro-san?" he asks me. "You were moaning in your sleep."

"Huh? Oh nothing just a weird dream." I reply and then get out of bed and started getting ready for work.

At the university

"Alright, class dismiss." I say at the end of the day. Everyone gets up and leaves.

"Um, sensei?" I turn to find Takahashi-kun.

"Yes what is it?" I ask him.

"You dropped this." He says giving me the book I threw at his friend when he wouldn't shut up during class.

"Oh thanks." I say taking the book from him.

"Are you okay? You seem a little flushed." He says and feels my forehead.

"No I'm okay, just tired." I tell him.

"Okay let me know if you need something." He says and walks out of the classroom.

"He's just like his brother." I thought.

Flash

"Nii-sama, you okay? You look flushed." A little boy says putting a hand to my forehead.

"It's okay Kurai. I'm fine it's nothing too bad." I say to him.

End of Flash

"Huh, what was that?" I thought confused. I walk back into my office, only to get jumped on by professor Miyagi. (Again).

"Ka-mi-jou." He says in a sing-song voice and hugs me.

"Oi professor! Get the hell off!" I shout annoyed.

"Miyagi." We both turn to see Miyagi's brat Shinobu coming in with an annoyed expression.

"S-Shinobu-chin, what brings you here?" Miyagi asks nervous and let's go of me.

"I came to see you, so we could walk home together." The brat says then grabs Miyagi by his ear and drags him out of the office. I quickly pack up and star walking home.

On the way back I sigh then hear something.

Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!

I hear and turn to find a flock of crows that seem to be looking at me.

"What the?" I say confused and start running. But the flock seems to be following me. When I finally arrive home, I find a small black box in front of the door and a bunch of crows all around my house.

"Shew! Shew! Go away!" I yell at them, but they don't budge. I then pick up the box and go inside.

"Nowaki I'm back." I say, but no answer "Must still be at work." I think.

I sit down on the couch and inspect the box I found outside the door, I open it to find a note attached to a small bottle with a strange red liquid in it. I take the bottle in my hand and read the note.

Drink.

Was all it said, I wasn't sure, but for some reason it felt warm and familiar. I open the top and drink it. I suddenly feel a weird sensation overcome my body and I drop the bottle and it shatters. I fall sideways on the couch and look to see both the box and bottle disappear in a black wind, with that I close my eyes and fall asleep.

Dream

I hear crying and walk to the source. I end up at a gazebo and find a young preteen with tears streaming down his face.

"What's wrong Kraheo?" I ask him wiping his tears with my thump and then notice some cuts, scrapes and bruises. "Oh, did you hurt yourself you poor thing?" I ask and he tearfully nods in response.

"Onii-chan, I'm back!" I turn my head to find a little boy running to us with a first aid kit in his hands.

"Kurai." I say.

"Ah, Nii-sama." He says and I take the kit from him.

"Now what happened this time?" I ask cleaning the preteen, Kraheo's, wounds.

"We were just playing and Kraheo fell and got hurt, so I went to get some bandages. I'm sorry it's all my fault!" the boy, Kurai, says and starts to cry.

"Kurai, there's no need to blame yourself." I say finished with Kraheo's wounds. "I mean it wasn't on purpose, right?"

"No." Kurai replies still a little teary eyed. I pick him up and put him in my lap.

"Kurai it wasn't your fault, it was mine for being so careless." Kraheo says wiping the last of his tears away.

"Okay, just be careful next time." I say planting a kiss on Kurai's forehead and ruffling Kraheo's hair.

"Hey guys." We all turn to see a young boy coming our direction. "Protective brother as always, I see." He says and sits next to Kraheo.

"Well I am the oldest so I have to look out for you guys, you know that Kage." I say rubbing Kurai's back. We all smile and start laughing.

End of the dream

"Hiro-san, Hiro-san are you alright?! Hiro-san!" I shot my eyes open when I hear Nowaki.

"N-Nowaki? What happened?" I say confused.

"I don't know, I just came home and found you like this." Nowaki tells me.

"I guess I was just more tired than I thought." I reply and Nowaki pulls into a tight hug and I hug him back. "What's going on? What's happening to me? I'm Hiroki Kamijou, right?" I thought all confused, as I hear the crows still there cawing.

Kaw! Kaw! Kaw!
