Chapter two: A memory of past

The trip to Shinra house didn't take much time. As soon as the door opened shizuo found himself between the arms of his friend. Shinra embraced him in a warm and calming way and said:

"Shizuo… I was really worried, where have you been? Celty look for you everywhere…"

Shizuo freed himself from Shinra arm and push him aside gently and entered the house and sat on the nearest sofa and said tiredly:

"Shinra… can't you understand? It is about Kasuka life… my only brother… he is in danger… and I can't do anything… me shizuo Heiwajima, the one can even move a tree... now I can't even save my own brother… what a worthless person I am…"

"Don't say it shizuo kun we will find a way to save Kasuka…I am sure he is ok… we should only find a clue on who has kidnapped him, then we can find him…"

Shizuo give him an angry growl and said:

"what the hell Shinra… there is nothing, no clue and not even a witness, I spent hours on street searching for anyone or anything that can help me to find Kasuka but there wasn't anything… nobody knows a thing… I don't even know for what the fucking reason they kidnapped my brother…"

He almost broke the sofa he was sitting on it but Celty's shadow stopped him.

Celty said with fear:

"Shizuo kun relax please… actually Shinra have an idea, that's why we were looking for you…"

As soon as shizuo heard this his face changed from angry to hopeful one and raised his hand to show them that he wasn't angry anymore and said:

"OK… OK … I'm calm… just say it Shinra… what's in your mind?"

Shinra sat in front of him and said with fearful voice:

"I know it's not something you want to hear but do you remember what happened to your parents when you were in elementary school… you said they were killed by some strange creature, I think those creatures can help you finding your brother…"

"What are you saying Shinra… that was just an accident… the house burnt in fire and my parent couldn't save themselves…"

Shizuo said angrily but there was something in Shinra look that stopped him and remind him of past.

Flash back 14 years ago

10 year Shizuo was slept on his bed with little Kasuka cuddling him under the cover but suddenly a load and scary sound woke them up. Kasuka hugged him in fear but shizuo tried to be brave for his brother and told him everything is OK and asked him to stay in the bedroom while he looking around.

10 years old shizuo was really scared but he went downstairs. The only light was coming from kitchen. He slowly got near the kitchen door and looked inside. He couldn't believe his eyes, his parents were laying on the ground with blood around their injured neck and there was someone or something in black with deep crimson eyes. When the thing looked shizuo in the eyes he ran away as fast as he could and went to his and Kasuka bedroom and locked the door. He looked over Kasuka but he was fast sleep. Shizuo opened the window the height wasn't so much and he was sure he could jump down without breaking his bones. So to save his brother he pick him up and jumped out of the window. With a slow movement he landed on grass without hurting his brother.

When he turned around he saw the fire surrounded the kitchen and after that the whole house burnt in fire.

His parents couldn't make it and died in fire, it was the thing other people told him but he was sure there was someone or something in the house and killed his parents and even burnt their house. But nobody believe shizuo not even his best friend Shinra.

End of flash back

Shizuo looked at Shinra and said:

"You are really telling me that… that I was right and actually something killed my parents and it wasn't an accident… but back then you told me it was just a dream…"

Shinra looked down he was ashamed of himself to lying his friend this whole years but he lied to him because he didn't want anything happened to his friend.

"Shizuo kun… I am really sorry for lying you actually the thing that killed your parents was a vampire; a blood sucking creature… I lied to you because I didn't want you to hurt yourself, you know vampires are really powerful even more powerful than you. That's why I never told you this…"

Shizuo was really angry but for now the most important thing was his brother life so he tried to forgive his friend and said:

"Tell me Shinra what's in your mind how a vampire can help me find my brother… and even more important thing is where the hell I should find one…"

Shinra ashamed and fearful face turned to a smirk and said:

"Actually it is the easiest part…"
