Chapter 2: Identity! I'm A Human!

Silence….. That's the only reaction that could be made in this kind of shocking situation. Not a single of words can be spit out from the mouth. Cold breeze was blowing slowly and thoroughly in the remnant of the battlefield. Both Katana and Yari Gamma were even shocked and went agape after seeing the turning tide in the battle. At one side, they felt quite happy but at the same side, they also felt really surprised. They can't believe what the enemy in front of them had just done. They were actually sent here to assassinate a sibling while also retrieving the lost Sanzo Eyecon. They managed to kill the brother one and also torture the little sister. However, to their surprise, the brother suddenly revived back in one piece. To make it worse, he gained access to the prototype of the Necrom's project. It was one of their Kingdom's secret super weapons and none of the information of it has been leaked. Though, it doesn't mean that their Kingdom doesn't make a few test players. While they are building the real project, they also made some prototypes and gave it to some selected individuals in their Kingdom. It is made so to collect some precious data for the real one. Due to how secretive it is, it was really shocking to see some nearby passenger to have access to the secret prototypes. Not only that, the person who used the prototype also used its power against their own kind. He managed to single-handily defeat their armies of Gamma Commandos. And after that, they thought he would target them next. However, his next step somehow took them by surprise….

In the middle of the battlefield, Ghost stabbed Ruby's stomach swiftly; making a huge gap of bloody hole that kept leaking a stream of blood continuously. You could even clearly see Ghost's fist at the other side of Ruby's body. Meanwhile, Ruby herself was clearly stunned at place and she couldn't do anything. She could only widen her beautiful silver eyes to the hand which went through her body. Though for her, she didn't feel any physical pain at all. She already got tortured sadistically by the Gamma and witnessing her brother was killed right in front of her eyes. She felt that all of those events were so painful that she almost couldn't even feel pain anymore. Despite that, the only pain that she still could feel was a really hurting cringe in her heart. Despite her brother was killed by the Gammas, he managed to revive back in a shocking way in Ruby's eyes. She couldn't be so delighted to see her brother to be back sound and relief. However, her excitement was cut short because the event in front of her. She couldn't believe that it was her brother, out of all people, to stab her like this. She wanted to believe that this was just a dream but it was too real to be for it. Ruby could only let a single tear from her eye to fall on Ghost's hand. She just couldn't believe how such a loving sibling relationship that they have could turn into like this.

Meanwhile, inside of Ghost's helm, you could clearly see Shinnosuke was showing a sadistic smile to Ruby. It was like as if Shinnosuke was enjoying the whole killing and torturing. Not only that, if even felt that Shinnosuke was slowly losing himself and falling to the abyss of insanity. For Ruby, she used her last strength to grip Ghost's hand which stabbed her stomach really tight. While still coughing a burst of blood from her mouth, Ruby slowly lifted her head to see the face of her brother inside the Ghost's helm.

"Onii…..-chan….. I don't…..know….what happened…to you….. But, please…. Return back….. Onii-chan….." pleaded Ruby weakly. However, it was all for naught because Ghost was still unfazed with her pleas. Despite that, Ruby still pleaded for Shinnosuke to return back to his own real self.

"Onii….-chan… I know….that….you will blame…yourself after…..this….. I know…that… I'm just…..a childish….. clingy… useless….and crybaby… little sister… Hehe….. I bet…that's why….. Onii-chan….really hated me….when we're….. a kid…" laughed Ruby while still coughing blood. However, Shinnosuke was still unfazed by this. Though, it was seemed that he was stunned a bit and he didn't do anything particular after hearing Ruby's speech. With Ruby's consciousness started to slip, she used her last chance to confess her feelings to her brother.

"I'm sorry…Onii-chan…. If I'm just…..a burden…for you…as a little….sister….. But….I want….you….to know…. I… really…..love…you…..O…..nii…-chan…." Said Ruby weakly while shedding tears from her silver eyes. She then made a final cough before slowly closing her eyes.

Meanwhile, inside of the Ghost's helm, after seeing Ruby's watery silver eyes and hearing her words, Shinnosuke felt as if he was struck by a lightning. Hearing Ruby's confession was enough to snap Shinnosuke from his killing spree. He soon snapped back to the reality and regained back his full control of his body. However, he soon met the pale face of Ruby who already closed her silver eyes. Her body was full of blood much more than before than he could imagine.

"Huh!? RUBY!?" said Shinnosuke as Ghost shocked after seeing Ruby's much worst condition. To top of it, he found out that he WAS the one who stabbed Ruby using his own hand. Shinnosuke couldn't believe what he had just done. He was too shocked to find out that it was his own self who tortured and almost killed his own little sister. He could see Ruby's blood covering his whole hand and body. Ghost's black and orange body was tainted with the crimson color of blood. Even the Face Pantheon was as taint as his whole body. In reflex, he soon pulled out his hand from Ruby's stomach. Soon after this, Ruby's body slowly fell to the ground. However, Ghost managed to catch Ruby in nick of time before falling to the ground. While inspecting Ruby's condition, Ghost slowly depowered and transformed back to Shinnosuke.

"Oi….. Ruby….. This is a joke, right!? Hehe, you really knew how to make your beloved Onii-chan to be surprised, huh? Okay, please stop this, Ruby! Wake up!" pleaded Shinnosuke while shaking Ruby's body

"Hey, boy, it's too late….. That girl is already dead…." Said Katana Gamma sarcastically. However, his words weren't heard by Shinnosuke who was still busy with his little sister.

"Hey, Ruby, what's going on with you!? Answer me! Wake up! Please….open your eyes!" said Shinnosuke while kept shaking Ruby's unmoving body. Shinnosuke became even more panic than ever. Knowing that the chance that Ruby was still alive was very low, he couldn't help but letting several tears fell from his orange eyes.

"Oi, Ruby! It's not funny anymore! Don't scare your Onii-chan like this! Please wake up, Ruby!" said Shinnosuke while softly slapping Ruby's cheek. But, this still didn't faze the black haired girl at all. Not only that, when Shinnosuke tried to check his little's breaths, he didn't feel any breath from her nose. He also checked her pulse but he didn't feel any beating both in her neck and chest. Seeing this, Shinnosuke felt he was falling to the deep abyss of despair. He wanted to believe that everything was just a bad dream and that they will be sound and relief after waking up. However, this was the reality. While sobbing non-stop, Shinnosuke kept shaking Ruby's limp body while also pleading for her to survive the ordeal.

"Huhuhuhu…. Wake up, Ruby….. Please… I'm sorry if I was a bad brother for you… But, at least, wake up for once… Open your eyes! Please, Ruby! Let me at least apologize for you! That's why don't leave my side, Ruby… Huhuhuhuhuhuhu….. I need you….. You're my cutest dearest little sister that I could wish for….. Huhuhuhu…. Please…Ruby…. Huhuhuhuhuhu….." pleaded Shinnosuke while still shaking Ruby's body. However, it was all for naught because Ruby still closed her silver eyes and didn't move at all. After seeing this, Shinnosuke couldn't do anything but hugging the body of his little sister really tight.

"Huhuhuhuhu….. Ruby…. Please don't do this to me… I lost Oyaji and Summer-san….. I don't want to lose anyone again… Huhuhuhu….Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaa….. RUUUUUUUBBBBBBBYYYYYYYY….." cried Shinnosuke in anguish while hugging his little sister really tight. While Shinnosuke was mourning over his little sister's conditions, their moments were interrupted by the Katana Gamma.

"How ironic….. To think that a guy like you could attain so much power to even compete against us, Gamma! But, it was all for naught, kiddo. Because of that power, you killed your own little sister… with your OWN hands….." hissed Katana Gamma to the broken Shinnosuke

"No… No…. It can't be me….. It was you who killed Ruby! I can't possibly hurt Ruby!" denied Shinnosuke

"Oh yeah? Didn't you see that you stabbed your own little sister with your hands?"

"No….. No…. You must be joking! RUBY CAN'T DIE! NOT NOW! SHE CAN'T LEAVE ME RIGHT NOW! JUST FUCK OFF FROM HERE!" said Shinnosuke while trying to deny everything that the Gamma has said

"Accept the reality kid…. Look at your own bloody hands…..." said Katana Gamma while pointing at Shinnosuke's bloody hands which was already dried and it seemed it was carved into Shinnosuke's own body. Seeing his bloody hands, Shinnosuke could only stare at it with a shock and despair face.

"No! No, it can't be! No… Ruby….. I….. I…."

"Get it, kid? For exchange a greater power, you have to pay really big for it." Said Katana Gamma while touching Shinnosuke's shoulders. Shinnosuke himself was still shocked and stunned with the big revelation that he was the one who hurt and killed Ruby. Though, a part of him wants to believe that it wasn't him that did all of this. Shinnosuke couldn't help but scratching and pulling his hair really hard.

"No… NO! NOOOOOOOO! I CAN'T KILL RUBY! NOT ME! RUBY ISN'T DEAD! SHE'S STILL ALIVE!" denied Shinnosuke while shaking his head. He tried to shrug off any provocative words from the Gamma but the condition of Ruby right now made him couldn't shake those thoughts so easily.

"You can't deny it, kiddo… Ruby is dead…. And that's…because of you….." hissed Katana Gamma in Shinnosuke's ear

"AAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHHHH! FUCK OFF FROM MY SIGHT!" said Shinnosuke while wailing out his fists toward the bladed Gamma

Shinnosuke soon tried to punch the Katana Gamma but he performed it in a more wild style, unlike to his collective and casual pose. Though, in Katana Gamma's eyes, he only felt that Shinnosuke was just a little kid who was wailing and lashing out against their bully big brother. Shinnosuke only threw out his fists without coordination and just lashed out into the air instead of the villain in front of him. He almost liked a broken child who just wailing and lashing out madly. When Shinnosuke finally almost threw a punch to the Gamma's face, the Katana Gamma simply grabbed Shinnosuke's fist easily. There, he could see the mixed feelings face of Shinnosuke. At one side, Shinnosuke felt really angry both toward himself and to the Gammas. However, at other side, he felt sadness and despair that he lost his precious little sister. All of those feelings were all shown in his face and you could clearly see that Shinnosuke could burst out of tears anytime soon. Despite being a Gamma, Katana couldn't help but feeling a bit pity to the boy.

"Yare, yare…. This really aches my head… What? Don't stare at me with those eyes. Not that I can't see it….." said Katana casually to the mad-driven Shinnosuke who still clenching his fist really hard

"You…. YOU KILLED RUBY!" screamed Shinnosuke really hard toward Katana

"What!? I didn't expect young people like you could be so disrespect and wild like animal. Don't blame someone else for your own fault! Yes, indeed I tortured your little sister and killed you back then. But, I DIDN'T kill your little sister! You could cry until your eyes are dry but don't blame me for killing your little sister. Blame yourself for not controlling that power! Face at the reality, Kid!" pointed out Katana. However, the truth only made Shinnosuke got even worst. He just let out a bestial cry in anguish toward Katana.

"AAAAAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH! I CAN'T ACCEPT THIS! RUBY CAN'T DIE! SHE CAN'T! HUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA!" cried Shinnosuke while trying to lash out at Katana with his free hands. However, Katana swiftly dodged all of Shinnosuke's mad and wild punches toward him. Instead, Katana swiftly kicked Shinnosuke right in his face, sending him to the ground. However, this didn't stop Shinnosuke at all. He soon grabbed the nearby fallen GanGun Saber swiftly. He then swung the GanGun Saber madly toward the Gamma in front of him. However, it looked more like a child playing with his toy sword. Shinnosuke was so unprofessional in using the sword and just swung it like a little kid. Even Katana couldn't help that seeing the boy had tainted the name of swordplay. He soon caught the GanGun Saber with his one hand only.

"I warned you, kid. You can't insult and blame me for anything. But, don't mess up with swordplay….." hissed Katana

"LIKE I CARE! I ALREADY LOST MY PRECIOUS RUBY! THERE'S NOTHING MORE THAT I WOULD WANT TO DO BUT TO KILL YOU HERE!" shouted Shinnosuke. However, he was kicked in his shin really hard by Katana. While he was clutching his hurt stomach, Katana soon grabbed Shinnosuke before throwing him to a nearby tree. After landing on the ground, Shinnosuke already lost any motivation and energy left to retaliate against the Gamma. What he was doing at that time was just sobbing non-stop and becoming a sobbing-mess. He just curled in the ground while sobbing and crying really loud.

"Huhuhuhuhuhu….. Ruby…. Ruby…. Don't leave me….. You're my precious little sister ever for me… Ruby….. I'm sorry…. Huhuhuhuhuhu…. I'm sorry….. So, please go back, Ruby…. HUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA…. HHHHHHHHOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEE…" cried Shinnosuke in anguish

"Aniki, what should we do with him? Should I make to him to meet his little sister?" asked Yari Gamma while preparing his yari against the broken Shinnosuke. However, Katana quickly halted him.

"No need for that, Ototo. Let just leave him like that." Said Katana before taking his leave

"WHAT!? Are you serious, Aniki!? You don't usually leave a target like this, right!? What made you change my mind?"

"Haa…. You could say that I'm a bit bored. After all, killing a broken doll like him will be useless. I think despite having the Necrom's project prototype, he is too scared and broken mentally to do anything. He won't be a threat in the state like that, right?" Explained Katana

"Well, so be it, then." Said Yari Gamma. Soon, the elder Gamma motioned his fingers in circular manner to summon a white version of Ghost's Eye of Providence. However, it had a more devilish-eye like design than Ghost's. Not only that, the Eye of Providence also showed some level of sentience by blinking once. After the Eye blinked, both of the Gammas turned into a pair of floating Gamma Eyecon. Those Eyecons soon entered the Eye of Providence before the Eye blinked once again and disappeared in the middle of silent forest. With that, those Gammas soon left without leaving any trace.

Meanwhile, Shinnosuke was still whimpering softly and sobbing non-stop. He kept whispering Ruby's name while crying like a baby or a crazy guy. For once, he rethought about what Alice had said to him. The power that she gave to him needs a very big consequence. That power will also change his fate and destiny forever. Lastly, of course, he can't turn back again after receiving it. Despite of that, he obviously didn't take her words seriously. At that time, he only thought about saving his own little sister and didn't think in the long run. He was too naïve! He thought that by getting a new power, he could save Ruby. But, he's deadly wrong! He thought that by becoming Ghost he would become a new hero of Remnant for a moment. However, just like his doctrine in his minds, there's no a single hero in the world of Remnant nor did his actions could be called a part of justice. He cursed himself because of the temptation from Alice. What he did was the opposite that he wanted! He thought by getting revived back, he could reunite back with Ruby once again and nothing would happen. However, in the end, that power only brings misery to the others, particularly to Ruby. Because of that power, Ruby was dead and that was because of her own brother! Pretty ironic, right? Someone who wanted to save his precious little sister ended up as the one who hurt and killed her. Just by thinking all of those in his minds were enough to drive Shinnosuke to the hole of insanity. He could only wail Ruby's name continuously to the orange sky where the sun would soon consumed by the darkness. He pounded the ground with his fists nonstop to the point that his hands were so bloody even more after being tainted with Ruby's blood. Shinnosuke soon took a glance toward the static body of Matsuda Ruby who was lying on the ground with a pool of crimson color liquid.

"I'm sorry….Ruby…. I'm a really bad and stupid brother for you…. If only I didn't approach your live….. This won't happen at all…. I'm sorry…" whispered Shinnosuke softly while a stream of tears fell from his eyes continuously

However, despite knowing the probability that Ruby was still alive was very low, he still didn't lose to cling on a flicker light of hope. A small part of him still didn't want to give up so easily without retaliating at all. Shinnosuke soon got up from the ground before walking to Ruby's side. He thought to bring Ruby to a nearby hospital as soon as possible. He didn't want to hear what people would say to him, but he still wanted to believe that his precious little sister was still alive no matter what! He wouldn't stop until the last breath of his life. He soon lifted Ruby's cold body from the ground before carrying her in piggy-ride style in his back. Before going to the hospital, Shinnosuke made some confession of his mixed feelings toward his unconscious little sister.

"Ruby…. Huhuhu…. If I could turn back the time…or I could give my own live to you… I won't let you to suffer like this….. Even if I must stray myself from you….." said Shinnosuke, only to meet another silence

"I know that you can't hear me… But, please… don't die for me, Ruby… This is my whole lifetime wish… I don't want to believe that you DIE, RUBY! AND I DON'T WANT TO ACCEPT IT AT ALL! I DON'T WANT TO GIVE UP MY LITTLE SISTER NOW AND NEVER!" said Shinnosuke, but still no response

"That's why….. You mustn't give up on living, Ruby…" said Shinnosuke softly before rushing to the hospital while carrying Ruby

(Opening End)

~RWBYS~

"DOCTOR! I NEED DOCTOR!" shouted Shinnosuke while breaking through the hospital's door. Seeing that Ruby's condition had gone worse by each second, he knew that he didn't have time to play. Shinnosuke soon ran to the receptionist in hope to call a doctor from there.

"Ms. Nurse, please call a doctor! My little sister is really hurt and she needs a treatment right now!" said Shinnosuke panicked with ragged breaths. With his current situation, he looked like a crazy person. No wonder why the receptionist and some of the people there were quite scared to see Shinnosuke's panic antics.

"I know, I know…. Please, calm down a bit, sir….. We will contact the doctor for a few minutes later." Said the receptionist

"BUT, I DON'T HAVE TIME ANYMORE! IF WE WASTE ANYMORE TIME, A PATIENT WILL DIE RIGHT HERE AND NOW!" shouted Shinnosuke to the receptionist angrily. He knew that it wasn't good to shout and act like that in front of people, but right now, all that Shinnosuke thought was to save Ruby's life as fast as he can. Not wasting time, the receptionist soon called the doctors to start an emergency operation.

After waiting for around 5 minutes, the doctors then appeared before Shinnosuke. Shinnosuke soon laid Ruby to the bed before helping the doctors to carry his little sister to the operation room. While carrying Ruby to the operation room, Shinnosuke didn't stop to hold his little sister's cold hand and praying for her safety. Despite he actually doesn't really believe praying anymore and he isn't worth to wish to the God, deep in his heart Shinnosuke wanted to see Ruby alive, smile and return in one piece.

"RUBY! YOU NEED TO SURVIVE! PLEASE DON'T DIE, RUBY! I PROMISE I WILL GIVE YOU A STOCK OF COOKIES FOR ONE YEAR! Just…. Ugh… Don't die….. Huhuhu…Ruby….." said Shinnosuke before breaking down into tears again

After reaching the operation room, some nurses were already there to help the doctors in the operation. They soon carried Ruby inside the room. For Shinnosuke though, it wasn't a good time for him. Since, he was left to wait for the operation to end and the waiting process was actually the thing that slowly kills him. Before the doctors entered the operation room, Shinnosuke begged them to save Ruby at any cost. He just didn't want to lose any people close to him anymore, not after his biological mother, Father, his step mother or even his own precious little sister.

"Doctor… Please….. Save Ruby….. I will pay the operation with my own life if it's going to save my Ruby… Please, doctor…" begged Shinnosuke tearfully to one of the doctors. Though, the doctor just shrugged off Shinnosuke coldly.

"Please don't touch me, sir. An operation must be commenced in sterile condition. After all, why do you doubt my abilities? There's no operation that's left unfinished or failed in my hands. There's nothing I couldn't cut! If the patient is dead then it's her willpower that is weak." Said the doctor coldly before entering the operation room. Of course, the doctor's antic left Shinnosuke dumbfounded. At one side, he wanted to give that doctor a real lesson but at the same side, he was too weary to even move an inch from his spot.

"Fufu, this's going to be interesting. Now, we're revving it up!" said another doctor before entering the operation room

"Well, I hope this operation will give a mountain of cash. Welp, mission start!" said another one…

However, there's one remaining doctor there who wasn't as apathetic compared to his colleagues. He actually showed some sympathy and empathy toward the weary and broken Shinnosuke who could only fall to his knees while staring at the operation room with blank eyes. The doctor soon helped Shinnosuke to get up and help him to sit on a nearby bench.

"Don't worry, sir. Please calm down. I know that my colleagues weren't the nicest guy in the world, but they're the man within their field. Don't worry, your little sister will be safe; sound and relief. We'll change your little sister's fate, so until that, please don't fall into despair right now, okay?" said the doctor to Shinnosuke. However, the boy was too weary and tired to even spit a single word from his mouth. After giving a comforting smile, the doctor soon followed his colleagues to the operation room.

Meanwhile, Shinnosuke himself could only stare at the floor with empty eyes. It almost liked that Shinnosuke lost his will to live anymore and he was like a living empty husk. If anyone saw him right now, they might even think him as a ghost. Well, can't be helped. After all, Shinnosuke already became an undead thanks to Alice. So basically, he isn't a human anymore per se. However, Shinnosuke didn't think about that anymore. In fact, he didn't know what he was thinking at that moment. Was he thinking about Ruby, the Gammas, Ghost, Alice or the fact that he killed Ruby with his own hands? Honestly, he didn't know about it and he didn't care it at all. He was too exhausted both physically and mentally to even move or think about anything. In his current state, he was almost like in the state of stance. His minds were so clear that he even almost forgot who he was or what he was doing. For now, Shinnosuke only stared the floor like a living ghost. Seconds, minutes or maybe hours had passed by at that time and what Shinnosuke was doing still the same: staring at the floor. He just sit there and did nothing and he just let the time passed away. He didn't care if hours had passed or the passerby was staring at him. For now, he just only wanted the lamp of the operation room shut downed.

However, even after around 8 hours there was no sign if the operation would not be finished nor did there was any news for Shinnosuke. Knowing that nothing would be changed if he just sit in there, Shinnosuke finally made a move by getting up from the bench. He then walked away from the operation corridor and went through the lobby. However, he walked through them very slow like if he was a living zombie. His face showed a complete utter of despair, there was no more light in Shinnosuke's bright orange eyes. His hair was very messy inside his dusty cowboy hat. Not only that, his clothes was very messy and untidy which was still covered with Ruby's blood. To make it even creepier, Shinnosuke always muttered Ruby's name softly as if it was a magical chant. For once, Shinnosuke took a glance toward his bloody hands.

"Ruby…. Ruby….. Ruby….. Huhuhu…. I'm sorry… Huhuhuhu….." muttered Shinnosuke before breaking down into tears again. While walking away from the hospital, Shinnosuke remembered his past back in his childhood. A very worst and jerking childhood which made him remembered how spoiled he was both as a big brother and as a step son for his new family.

~RWBYS~

An older and mature version of Ruby could be seen baking several chocolate cookies in a kitchen. She was Matsuda Summer, Ruby's mother and Shinnosuke's step mother. She was making those cookies while humming and with a big smile in her face. She hoped the cookies that she made could make her children happy, especially to his new step son. It was quite awkward for Summer to marry with another man after her failure with her previous marriage. However, Raito proved to be a good husband for her and a good father figure for both Shinnosuke and Ruby. Unfortunately, Shinnosuke didn't welcome her with open arms, unlike Ruby. He was pretty sentimental and apathetic toward her most of the time. Whenever she tried to give him some of her delicious cooking, the boy easily shrugged her off while bad mouthing her. He even sometimes made her house works more tiring by purposely dropping water or juices to the floor while she was wiping, drawing in the wall, throwing away her cooking to the floor ,and even messing with every clothes that she had ironed. To make it a bit worse, Shinnosuke acted very cold and harsh toward her daughter. He always hit Ruby and made her cry, hid her favorite red hoodie, constantly eating her cookies. All in all, Shinnosuke never stops to displease both Summer and Ruby.

While it's true that Summer isn't Shinnosuke's maternal and biological mother, she still thinks Shinnosuke as her own son and as a good brother for her daughter. She tried her best to become a good mother figure for him but it always failed miserably. She tried to grasp Shinnosuke's heart as a mother but Shinnosuke always distanced himself from the two. Thought, Summer knew she couldn't erase the figure of a real mother in Shinnosuke's eyes. In his eyes, Shinnosuke only saw Summer as a woman who married with his father, nothing more and nothing else. Summer always told Raito to let Shinnosuke meets his maternal mother. However, Raito always purposely didn't listen to her and ran away from the situation by telling that he got a job. Summer thought that Raito was so secretive about his ex-wife, both to her and Shinnosuke. Despite they were always bickering about that thing, Summer decided to surrender and trust her husband fully. However, because of this, Shinnosuke didn't have a good relationship with his father. Thinking about all of those things really pained Summer and gave a cringe to her heart. She already had a bad marriage before and now her marriage was full of internal problems, either it was from Raito or Shinnosuke. Though her husband was really kind to her, she knew that Raito held too much burden and secret all on his own. For Shinnosuke, Summer believed that he didn't hate her or Ruby at all. It just Shinnosuke still couldn't accept them as his part of family.

"Shinnosuke… Why can't you accept us as your family?" asked Summer to himself with sad tone. While still thinking about all of those things, she carried the freshly baked cookies from the oven before placing the tray to the table. She then placed the cookies to a clean plate slowly, knowing that it was still pretty hot at that time. While Summer was placing the cookies, she felt a hug in her leg. When she looked down, she found out that Ruby was hugging her leg happily.

"Okaa-san, I smelled something good! What do you make, Okaa-san?" asked Ruby cheerfully

"Well….. Why don't you try to guess it, honey?" said Summer with a smile to her daughter

"Umm… From the smell of it….. I know! I know! It's cookies, right, Okaa-san? Can I have it? Can I have it?" said Ruby cheerfully, knowing that it's her favorite snack

"Of course, you can, honey. But, be careful. It's still quite hot. And don't forget to share it with your brother, okay?" said Summer while patting Ruby's head

"Okay, Okaa-san!" replied Ruby. While Summer was caressing her daughter's head, she noticed that Ruby was holding a paper. Curious, she soon asked her daughter.

"Ruby, what's that paper you are holding?" asked Summer to Ruby

"Oh! This is a surprise for Okaa-san, Otou-san and Onii-chan! Tadaaa!" said Ruby before showing the paper. The paper showed Ruby's drawing of her family. It showed Raito was hugging Ruby and Summer was hugging Shinnosuke; all of them showed a very big smile in their face. Seeing the picture somewhat cringed Summer a bit. Ruby's drawing really depicted what she wanted: a loving family. In reality, the condition of their family was the opposite from what Ruby thought in her naiveté's minds. However, she really hoped that they could become the family that Ruby made in her picture. On one note, seeing the part where she hugged Shinnosuke and they were smiling really touched Summer's heart and she couldn't help but crying in front of Ruby.

"Nu? Okaa-san… Why are you crying?" asked Ruby nonchalantly

"It's… It's okay, honey….. Okaa-san is alright…. Don't worry about me….. Here, give these cookies to your brother, okay, Ruby?" said Summer while giving the plate of cookies to Ruby

"Okay, Okaa-san." Said Ruby before leaving Summer alone in the kitchen. Not long after that, Ruby soon rushed toward the living room since Shinnosuke used to spend his free time by watching western animation and movies in the TV. He also really loves to watch cowboy-theme movie and Ruby knew that one of them was airing at that time. So, she knew that her brother would be in the living room. After arriving at the living room, Ruby saw her brother was watching the cowboy movie enthusiastically and with a very big smile in his face, something Ruby herself rarely sees toward herself or her mother.

"Onii-chan! I brought some cookies! Let's eat together!" shouted Ruby cheerfully while approaching Shinnosuke who was sitting in the sofa. Unfortunately, hearing and knowing Ruby's presence somewhat faded the smile in Shinnosuke's face. He soon became really grumpy and he seemed to feel really annoyed with Ruby's presence.

"What do you want?" asked Shinnosuke coldly to his little sister

"Okaa-san made some delicious cookies! Let's eat together, Onii-chan!" said Ruby while offering the cookies

"Another cookies from Summer-san? Sorry, but I'm really uninterested." Said Shinnosuke coldly while shrugging off Ruby from his eyesight

"But, why, Onii-chan!? Okaa-san already made these delicious cookies really hard for us! At least, please eat one of these and I'm sure Onii-chan will be addicted to it!"

"I said I'm not interested in it! Don't you get it!?" shouted Shinnosuke, shuddering Ruby a bit

"Onii-chan….. Why you always act like this toward me!? Toward Okaa-san!? Okaa-san is a really great mother for us, right!? She made the best cooking to me, Onii-chan and Otou-san, right? So, why can you eat Okaa-san's cookies? Aren't we family?" said Ruby tearfully while offering the cookies again to her brother

"No! We aren't family! Summer-san isn't my mother!" shouted Shinnosuke angrily before throwing the plate of cookies to the floor, breaking the plate and attracting some attention to Summer who was still in the kitchen. On the other side, Ruby was still quite shocked to see her brother was really mad like this. She had never seen Shinnosuke to be as angry like she saw at that time. To make it worse, Shinnosuke stomped and crushed the remaining of the cookies with his feet.

"I don't want to eat any piece of this freaking shit from someone who isn't my mother!" said Shinnosuke while crushing the cookies with his feet

"Why, Onii-chan!? Why did you do something like this!? We are a family right!? You, me, Otou-san and Okaa-san, right!? Why do you act like this!? This isn't my brother at all!" said Ruby while almost crying like a little baby

"That's because you're not my little sister in the first place! You and your freaking fucking mother isn't my part of me and Otou-san as a family!" declared Shinnosuke while pointing his finger toward Ruby. This declaration from her brother really surprised and shocked Ruby to death. Hearing a rebuttal from his own brother that she wasn't his brother's little sister really made hurt Ruby's heart. She even almost cried at that moment but there was still a part of her that still wanted to believe Shinnosuke was lying to her.

"It's….. It's a lie…. It's a lie, right, Onii-chan? There's no way that I'm not your little sister, right?" said Ruby sadly while sobbing a bit

"I'm not lying at all! Have I ever been not serious!?"

"Onii-chan must be kidding! I'm your little sister, right, Onii-chan!? Okaa-san is our mother and Otou-san is our father, right Onii-chan!? It's not a lie! We're a family! Look at this picture!" said Ruby before showing her drawing of their family. However, to her another surprise, Shinnosuke quickly snatched her drawing from her hands before tearing the picture into pieces right in front of Ruby's eyes .

"Heh! Do you like it? Do I have to tell you that we're not siblings nor are we a family?" said Shinnosuke very coldly. Hearing Shinnosuke's words, Ruby couldn't help but fell to her knees before trying as many pieces of her picture that she could get. However, Ruby knew that she couldn't get the picture back in full piece. At the apex, she saw the picture of her and Shinnosuke which was already torn. Seeing this, Ruby finally broke down into tears before crying like a little kid,

"HUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! HHHHUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAA!" cried Ruby loudly

"What happened, honey?" asked Summer who already arrived to the living room, only to find a big chaos made by her children.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU! I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU, I HATE YOU! I HATE ONII-CHAN! HHHHHUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAA!" cried Ruby hysterically

"Then, what about me!? If you hate me, I hate you and your mother even more! I regret having you two in my life! Why you robbed my mother!? Just go away from my sight you devil kid!" shouted Shinnosuke angrily to the crying Ruby. Hearing Shinnosuke's curse, Ruby couldn't help but crying even more.

"Huhuhuhuhu… Onii-chan….. HUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAA!" cried Ruby before leaving the living room, passing through her mother like if she wasn't there. Summer wanted to comfort Ruby but she knew that the problem with Shinnosuke must be dealt first.

"Ruby….. Shinnosuke! Why did you say something like that to your own little sister!? Don't you have manner? Not only that, you even cursed her. Look now, Ruby is really sad. Don't you have any sympathy to her!?" scolded Summer to her step son

"Don't freaking teaching me! You're not my mother and you don't have right to dictate me!" said Shinnosuke while pointing his finger to Summer, shocking her very much. For her seeing a kid that scolds and points his finger to a mother really hurt Summer's heart, especially this was her own son. Seeing that he didn't have business anymore, Shinnosuke soon tried to take his leaves. However, his hand was grabbed by Summer.

"Where do you think you're going, Shinnosuke!? Don't go anywhere right now! Apologize to your little sister!"

"Don't touch me! You and your freaking daughter could just go to hell!" cursed Shinnosuke before releasing his mother's grip before pushing her to the ground. After that, Shinnosuke soon took his leave by leaving the house. Meanwhile, Summer was still in the living room, felling to her knees after knowing about how much a failure she was as a mother. She didn't know whether God was trying to trick or insult her at that time. She just wanted a happy family and marriage with her new family but it was seemingly pretty impossible. Silently, she shredded several colds tears from her silver eyes. During her childhood, Summer had wished to be a good hero at the behalf of justice. But, now, she just wished to have a good relationship with her son. She wished her love to Shinnosuke could reach his heart and in return, Shinnosuke could love both her and Ruby. While silently crying, Summer noticed the torn picture of Ruby. Slowly, she took several torn pieces of them, particularly the part that contained both her and Shinnosuke. Seeing the torn picture between her and Shinnosuke making Sumer couldn't help but crying even more.

"Huhuhu…. Shinnosuke….. Why it must be like this….? If only…huhuhu…..you're truly my son….." sobbed Summer with her tears fell to the picture of her and Shinnosuke in her hands

~RWBYS~

Remembering about his troubled and spoiled past, Shinnosuke couldn't help but to punch the wall of the hospital with his bloody hand. He really regretted to act like a spoiled child to his little sister and step mother. He even cursed both of them. If the world is going to end, he knows that it must be because of a disrespectful child like him toward his mother, especially to Ruby either. He really regretted to scold, shout and curse his cute little sister like that. But now, Ruby becomes his number one most cherished person in his life. Not only that, he even respects Summer much more than when he was a kid. At least, he respects her as a good mother and wife for Ruby and his father. If there's one thing that he regretted was because of his father married with Summer and brought them to their life. It wasn't in bad context per se like the past spoiled Shinnosuke. He just thought that if they didn't enter Shinnosuke and his father's life, maybe Summer would be still alive and Ruby wouldn't be even like this now. While still thinking about his little sister, Shinnosuke was leaning against the wall of the hospital; watching the starry sky of night which was filled with stars. Just then, Shinnosuke watched a shooting star in the dark sky.

"A shooting star, huh? Well….. I'm maybe not as childish as Ruby who would believe wishing to a shooting star….. But…." Sobbed Shinnosuke who couldn't make a right word to continue. He was too absorbed with his own sadness, grief and despair to even let a word out anymore. However, struggling with his own self, Shinnosuke let out his emotion to the bright stars in the sky.

"PLEASE! PLEASE DON'T TAKE MY PRECIOUS RUBY FROM ME NOW! PLEASE! Huhuhuhu….. I'm sorry, Oyaji….. Summer-san…. Ruby…. I'M REALLY SORRY! But, please don't punish me like this! Please….. I can't bare it….. I'm too late to realize that Ruby's so important to me….. I'm also too arrogant to even respect Summer-san or even Oyaji…. I know that I'm really wrong! I was such a bitch for even not apologize to them! I'm not even deserved to exist in this world Remnant! It's much better if I don't exist! It would be better if Ruby is with Uncle Qrow or Taiyang….. I will do anything if it means for Ruby's life and safety! Even if I must distant myself from Ruby, I will do it! Just…. Huhuhuhu….. DON'T TAKE RUBY NOW! HUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAA!" cried Shinnosuke while covering his face with his hands before falling to his knees. For someone like Shinnosuke who has a high degree of pride, it was quite surprising for him to break down like this. Shinnosuke doesn't believe in myth, fortune and even prayers anymore but at least at one this time, Shinnosuke pleaded for the God not to take Ruby's life right now.

"Yo, Shin-chan! You don't look quite in the good shape, don't ya? How about a cool bike for cheering you up?" said a familiar voice near Shinnosuke. Hearing this, Shinnosuke soon stopped crying and turned to see the source of the voice. Just like what he had thought, it was from none other than the woman who gave the power of Ghost to Shinnosuke: Alice.

"Alice….." hissed Shinnosuke while sharpening his eyes toward the blonde woman

"Hey, hey, hey, don't glare at me like that. After all, I'm here to give you a much better mode of transportation. Why would you glare at someone who gave you a new life, right?" said Alice casually. True to her words, she was sitting at a motorcycle. The bike had a matte black color primarily. It had a very slim body that seemed to be built for maneuverability. In the front of the bike there was a lizard-like head decoration with sharp green eyes. Lastly, to complete the head, there was a blue sharp horn like Ghost's Wisp Horn in the lizard's head forehead. The slim body, the matte black color and the cool design would make any men or guys to fall in love with this thing.

Unfortunately, in Shinnosuke's head, he wasn't thinking about the bike at all. There were too many questions about his berserker behavior that almost killed Ruby. Not only that, his head was boiling due to the intense anger toward Alice. He felt a great deal of anger that he might tear the woman into pieces for manipulating and lying to him. He thought that with his new powers, not only that he could revive himself; he could save his dearest little sister. But, in the reality, he became a blood-thirst killing machine and he almost made Ruby lost her life because of him. He also blamed himself because he was too naïve to believe Alice's temptation and didn't rethink his choice back then. Thinking about that made Shinnosuke glared at the woman with his cold and lifeless eyes. Before Alice could react, Shinnosuke quickly grabbed her neck before pushing her to the wall. He wanted some answers from her or he would just choke the air from her lungs. Despite how much the killing intention from the boy, Alice wasn't amused at all. In fact, she just showed a cold face compared to Shinnosuke's angry face. He could only gritted his teeth while giving a deep glare toward the one who made his life even sucker than before.

"Yare, yare, yare. Is it me but I feel kids nowadays are so impolite and aggressive like this?" said Alice sarcastically

"You…. You… You….. WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THIS, ALICE, YOU BITCH!?" cursed Shinnosuke once again…

"What do you mean? Hehe, I don't understand what you meant, Shin-chan." Joked Alice. However, Shinnosuke didn't want any joke right now. He already lost Ruby and he needed a better explanation from the woman or else he would just tear her to pieces.

"DON'T PLAY DUMB! YOU SAID THAT WITH THAT GHOST POWER I COULD SAVE RUBY! YOU SAID THAT WITH THAT POWER I COULD REVIVE MYSELF BACK! YOU SAID THAT WITH THAT POWER I COULD MEET AGAIN WITH RUBY AND WE WOULD HAVE THE SAME LIFE AGAIN! BUT WHAT I WAS DOING JUST KILLING AND TORTURING MY LITTLE SISTER! DO YOU THINK THAT YOU COULD SAY SOMETHING THAT CASUALLY WHILE MY LITTLE SISTER IS FIGHTING FOR HER LIFE!?"

"Ha….. Shin-chan, I might be right for the first two conditions. But, who said that you could go back to your normal life?"

"What do you mean…..?"

"It's simple, Shin-chan. Do you think that you could go back to your previous life? Oh boy, you're DEAD WRONG! Remember, I didn't revive you fully back into a normal human being! Even with my powers, do you think that I could easily revive someone who is already dead? Hello, this isn't a fairytale or a dream. If I could easily revive someone like that, wouldn't I become a god and become a popular figure?"

"That's….."

"Yep! That's what I meant. I already said that you won't be able to return back to your previous life. You're an undead now! You're in rift between life and death. You can't change it back without external helps. I also said that you could save Ruby, but I meant saving her from her mental death. Didn't you see that those Gammas were trying to kill her too? It was a good thing that I gave you that belt, right? In fact, Ruby would have been even deader if you hadn't interfered at all." Said Alice logically toward Shinnosuke. Meanwhile, for Shinnosuke himself, he realized that what Alice said was logical. Because of that, he slowly released his grip from Alice's neck; at least not as firm as before. Despite of that, he still couldn't accept the fact that he went berserk thanks to Alice's power either.

"But, that doesn't change the fact that I almost killed Ruby! Because of you, I ALMOST KILLED RUBY!"

"Heh….. So, that's what happened. Ne, Shin-chan, why do you accuse me for something that I don't even do? You know that you even must be grateful that I gave you a second chance for living back, right? After all, being an undead has some literal side effects. Your body and mind couldn't easily adapt to the quick change to your state. In easier words, your body is a dead thing, but you still have your souls and minds. Don't you think that these two conflicting sides wouldn't give any side effects at all? Because of that, your minds and mental were quite unstable and seeing your personality, it's not surprising if you become a mindless killing machine. Anyway, if you want to blame someone for hurting your precious Ruby, why don't you blame yourself? Is it my fault for giving you Ghost power? Hell, no! It's your own fault for not controlling your own self! It's your fault for letting yourself consumed by that power! That power isn't wrong at all! Your weak and unstable self is the thing that made you berserk at that time!"

"That's impossible….. No way…. Ruby…" said Shinnosuke in the greatest despair while releasing his grip from Alice before falling to his knees. Alice herself couldn't help but giggling softly when seeing Shinnosuke's despair and lifeless face. He was truly living up to the name of an undead.

"Not only that, after all, it was you who decided that you will take the consequences and you won't regret it at all. But, meh, look at yourself now, you're nothing more than a crying wreck. Where did the Shin-chan that won't regret his decision go? I'm clearly disappointed you know. So, what would happen if Ruby is dead? That's only one person, if you can't control yourself there's a high probability that there will be more casualties than this. After all, why would you so care toward that childish and dependent little girl? The real world is really harsh and you will need some sacrifice. In the end, all that you can depend on is yourself. Like a saying, the strong will live and the weak will perish. Ruby is weak and will you be as weak as her?" said Alice sarcastically

"JUST SHUT UP YOUR FUCKING MOUTH! YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND ME AT ALL! YOU DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND RUBY TOO! YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT TO JUDGE HER AT ALL! FOR ME, SHE IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE AND I WON'T LET MY LITTLE SISTER DIE!"

"Watch your mouth, kid. Not that I can't see it, we have young audiences out there you know. Anyway, don't blame me for Ruby's death. I already said I'm not the one who hurt her! You WERE the one who hurt her! So, do you want to give up as Ghost and having your new life goes a waste? I must say you're a coward, Shin-chan! Ruby will die, well yes! But, then, so what!? Losing someone is something that will happen to everyone in this Remnant, no one can hinder it. You had and will lose everyone that you cherish. But, that's not the end, Shin-chan! Your life hasn't ended just yet and you want to waste your precious life again! This is reality, Shin-chan! You must face that you were the one who killed Ruby! Otherwise, you won't be able to move on at all!"

"Shut up, Alice-san….. Do you really understand what is my feeling right now? I'm broken… Didn't you see Ruby's blood in my hands… You said that easily that I should move forward and on… BUT, IT'S NOT THAT SIMPLE! Huhuhuhu….. For me…. Ruby…huhuhuhu…..is the best sister I could ever wish…. Huhuhuhuhu….. But….. I killed her with these hands… I just…ugh…. I DON'T KNOW WHAT I SHOULD DO OR WHAT I'M FEELING RIGHT NOW!" sobbed Shinnosuke with a very depressed tone. He even covered his face with his bloody hands since he didn't want Alice to see his depressed face in front of her.

"To put I bluntly, yes, I don't understand what you feel, Shin-chan. You might go to lose more people from today. But, I warn you one last time. You either be a crying wreck like this or becoming the greatest superstar that you have dreamed for. The choices are in your hands. Ruby is dead and no one can change it, even with my own hands. Be a man and accept the reality!" said Alice bluntly toward Shinnosuke. However, the boy was too exhausted to even reply her words anymore. Shinnosuke just fell to his knees and leaned toward the wall with his broken and battered mental and body. He didn't really care about Alice's harsh and realistic words anymore. There's no even a single trace of light in his eyes. Basically, Shinnosuke became a true undead; a walking empty shell or husk without a soul in it.

"Well, that's all I could say for you, Shin-chan. Even though it seems that none of my words are embedded in your minds. But, I want to tell you something. If you feel lost or don't know what to do, listen to the cry of your heart." Said Alice before taking her leave

Meanwhile, Shinnosuke could only stare at the night sky with his lifeless orange eyes. He felt that he didn't have anymore of will to live again. He just totally regretted his whole new life. Getting a new power but it only ended up hurting your own little sister, isn't that same as bullshit? Alice said that he should listen to the cry of his heart. But, how should he do it when he can't even hear the voice of his heart!? Not only that, he even felt that he didn't have heart anymore as he is an undead. Moreover, he hurt Ruby who is his little sister, should he still consider himself to even have a heart.

"Heart, huh? Fufufu….. Hahahaha… Hahaha…. Kakakakaka…. Huuahahahahahahaha… Hihihihihihi….." giggled Shinnosuke with psychopathic laughter and grin in his smile. He laughed and giggled like a broken psychopath. But, Shinnosuke didn't really care about that. He just laughed at himself due to how he can have a heart while he is an undead.

"Hehehehehe….. Hehehehehe… Hihihihihihi… Hihihihihihi… Hahahaha… Hahahahaha…. Haaaaaa…. Heart, huh? That's right….. I don't have a heart at all. I'm just as worse as those Grimms who don't have heart at all…. I was such a spoiled kid to shout and curse my foster family and killed my little sister…. Feh! Should I listen to the cry of my heart while I don't even have a heart, ALICE!? HAHAHAHAHAHA….. HAHAHAHAHAHA! HUAUHAHAUAHAUHAHAHAUUAHHA! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Huhuhuhuhu… Ruby… Ruby…. Ruby….. I LOVE YOU! YOU'RE MY DEAREST LITTLE SISTER! NO, YOU'RE MORE THAN THAT! THAT'S WHY DON'T DIE! Huuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaa…" cried Shinnosuke, shattering the silent night at that time. However, after shouting like that, Shinnosuke already lost every inches of his stamina. Due to that, he suddenly lost his consciousness before drifting to his dreamland. As if God tried to piss Shinnosuke even more, suddenly there was a huge raining that poured down to Shinnosuke's unconsciousness body. Despite that, he didn't care at all since Shinnosuke was too exhausted and tired with all of those events and he really needed a bit rest, even if it just one second…..

~RWBYS~

Shinnosuke was walking hastily through the dark corridor of the hospital. He showed a very terrified and panic face. His breath was very ragged and his eyes were really widened. When he finally arrived in front of a room, he quickly opened the door. There, he saw a dead body of someone which was covered with a huge white blanket. Shinnosuke was particularly shocked and panicked but he still calmed himself as much as he can. He then slowly approached the limp body that was lying in front of his eyes. He hoped that the one that lied there wasn't the one that he would expect. After approaching the body, Shinnosuke slowly gripped the hem of the blanket. He then slowly pulled the blanket that was obscuring the thing in front of his eyes. When he saw what was covered by the blanket, he soon fell to his knees. He felt that tons of blades were stabbing his heart right now. He showed a very depressed, despair and lifeless face after seeing who was the one who dead in front of him. Yes, it was none other than Matsuda Ruby…

"Oi, Ruby…. It's a lie, right? You can't die here, right? Hey, why don't you answer me!? SAY SOMETHING TO YOUR ONII-CHAN, RUBY!?" shouted Shinnosuke. Unfortunately, he only met silence reply from Ruby. She was lying at the bed with her limp body and showing a really peaceful face. When Shinnosuke checked Ruby's pulse and breaths, he didn't find any sign of life from his little sister. This drove Shinnosuke even more to insanity. He couldn't believe that his precious little sister was dead. He felt that half of his life force and spirit was taken away forcefully from him.

"Ruby…. I'm sorry…. I always shout, mad, spoil and curse you….. I'm sorry for doing all of those things….. But, please, don't punish your Onii-chan like this! Please, wake up, Ruby! I need you! I can't live without you! Huhuhuhuhu…" sobbed Shinnosuke continuously while hugging the limp body of Ruby really tight. A stream of tears was falling endlessly from Shinnosuke's swollen eyes to Ruby's closed eyes. Unfortunately, none of those could even flinch her even once. Ruby still closed her silver eyes for eternity.

"Ruby….. If you can't hear me… If you say something even for once…. I will give a stock of cookies for eternity… I will massage you every night… I will read fairytales every night…. I will always sleep at your side… We will eat many types of bread, coffee and milk at Carurose-san's place….. I will let you meet that jerky Yang everyday despite I hate it….That's why…. Say something Ruby…. Please….. I still want to see you beautiful silver eyes like your mother's along with your unwavering cheery smile…. I really want to see those again! So, please say something….. Wake up, Ruby… Because….. Because….." sobbed Shinnosuke while hugging Ruby even tighter than ever before. He also rubbed her hair continuously while still letting some fresh tears from his eyes fell. With one last plead, Shinnosuke released everything in his heart and mind.

"I LOVE YOU RUBY! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I REALLY LOVE YOU, RUBY! I LOVE YOU AS MY LITTLE SISTER! NO! I LOVE YOU EVEN MORE THAN THAT! I LOVE YOU AS A GIRL! AS A WOMAN! I LOVE YOU TO THE CORE OF MY HEART! THAT'S WHY DON'T LEAVE ME, RUBY! HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" cried Shinnosuke, breaking the silent in the room

~RWBYS~

"RUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBBYYYYYYYYY!" screamed Shinnosuke while waking up from his terrible nightmare. When he opened his eyes, he soon checked his surroundings. Shinnosuke soon realized that he was still in the outside of the hospital; leaning toward a wall. While checking his surroundings, Shinnosuke also controlled his breaths since his breaths were really ragged back then. His pupils were so wider than before and he also was sweating really hard. Not only that, combined with being poured with the rain's water, Shinnosuke's clothes and body were really wet at that time. Shinnosuke was still trembling after getting that horrible nightmare since it felt so real. He then looked at his hands and he still found out that his hands were still as bloody as before, although not too much like before. Seeing this, Shinnosuke could only sigh since no matter how much he tried to erase it, he couldn't erase the stain of blood from his little sister. He soon leaned his head again to the wall while looking at the now clear blue sky.

"Haaaaaaa….. Oyaji… What should I do? Why must you and Summer-san die so fast? I can't bear this burden alone…" murmured Shinnosuke

However, he soon remembered about Ruby who was still being operated the last time he remembered. Remembering this, Shinnosuke soon got up from his place before running toward to the inside of the hospital as fast as he can. When he got inside the hospital, he soon ran toward the operation room. While running, of course, he tackled some nurses and people there but he didn't care about it at all. All that he was thinking was all about Ruby, Ruby and RUBY! He soon found the operation room, only to find the light there was shut off. Seeing this, he knew that the operation had finished so Shinnosuke started to find the doctors who operated Ruby, in hope to find the operation's result. Shinnosuke surveyed through each corridors of the hospital to find the doctors even if it at least one of them. In one of the corridor, he soon found the doctor who also operated Ruby back then before approaching him.

"Doc tor!" shouted Shinnosuke, taking the doctor's attention. However, he was still exhausted from the search and Shinnosuke needed to regain some of his breaths first before continue talking.

"Hey, wasn't you the guy who brought your cutie lil' sister before? Wha'cha you doing here?" asked the doctor casually

"Doc, ha…ha…..ha… I want to ask… How is my little sister? Did the operation was a success? Where is she?" asked Shinnosuke worried with ragged breaths

"Oh, about that cute little girl. Sorry, kid, but we lost her. She is dead….." said the doctor bluntly with casual tone. Hearing the doctor's news, Shinnosuke felt that a huge needle struck his chest right now. He soon fell to his knees slowly while showing an utter face of despair. His face showed that Shinnosuke didn't have living will anymore.

"No way… My Ruby… Doc, it's a lie, right…..?" stammered Shinnosuke while trying to hold his tears

"Sorry, it's not a lie. That girl's wounds were too much and too deep. Even if we managed to tend the wounds, we couldn't stop the internal bleedings. We lost so many blood stocks and it still wasn't enough to exchange the blood that she lost. We already used a pacemaker but it was futile. When we saw her unmoving and lifeless silver eyes, we declared that your lil' sis' is dead~~." Said the doctor casually while whistling happily without any remorse of sadness

"No way… No way… Ruby can't die… Ruby can't die! Doc, please bring her back! I will pay you no matter how much you want! Even if I must work for this hospital forever, if it brings back my precious little sister, I will do it! So…..huhuhuhuhu….please…bring her back no matter what…..huhuhuhuhu…please….huhuhuhu…." cried Shinnosuke while grabbing and pleading the doctor to bring Ruby back

"Kid, we are doctors. We aren't a God. We can't bring a dead person back alive. You just need to accept the fact. The real world is so harsh and you will meet more dead people than this. It might be your parents, friends, girlfriends, wife or maybe your children. So, just move on." Said the doctor bluntly without any sympathy or empathy toward Shinnosuke or even Ruby. Seeing that the doctor didn't show any sadness or sympathy toward Ruby, of course, this angered Shinnosuke so much. He already lost his little sister and he felt half of his life was gone, but the doctor said it so casually as if it was nothing.

"WHY CAN YOU SAID SOMETHING LIKE THAT SO CASUALLY!? YOU'RE A DOCTOR AND YOU DON'T EVEN SHOW ANY REMORSE TOWARD MY DECEASED LITTLE SISTER! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU EVEN DOING AS A DOCTOR!? DON'T YOU HAVE ANY FEELINGS TOWARD YOUR DECEASED PATIENTS!?" shouted Shinnosuke to the doctor while grabbing the doctor's collar

"Sorry, Kid, but I don't have any reason to be sad. After all, I don't have any relationship with your little sister. Why should I be sad in the first place? It's your problem you know and it ain't my problem! I'm just here to operate the patient and get the money. The result whether the operation is a success or not isn't my problem! That being said, if you want to cry all over the day till the end of your life, just go on. I don't care whether you are happy or sad with your little sister is dead." Said the doctor. Hearing the doctor's words, Shinnosuke felt so stunned and released his grip from the doctor. Knowing that Ruby had lost her life made Shinnosuke's minds was so clear that he couldn't think anymore. He felt that every inch of his memories about Ruby were burned into pieces. There was nothing Shinnosuke could do than went agape from hearing the doctor's news

"Ha…. Ruby…. No way… Huhuhuhuhu… Huhuhuhuhuauauauaha…. Ruby… Why must you leave me like this!? This isn't fair! Please, return back, Ruby! Huuuuuuuuaaaaaaaaaaaa….. Huuuuuuuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaa…. Ruuuuuuuuubbbbbbbyyyyyyyyyy…." Cried Shinnosuke as hard as he can

Meanwhile, the doctor himself could only smirk at seeing Shinnosuke's despair and sorrow reaction However, his smirk was cut off shortly due to another doctor was pulling his ear really hard.

"Ouch! What are you doing!?" gasped the doctor whose ear was being pulled

"Hey, doc, I'm searching for you! We have loads of patients and the heck you are slacking off again! Anyway, what are you even doing here!?" asked the doctor who was revealed to be the nice doctor toward Shinnosuke before. The doctor soon noticed that Shinnosuke was crying sorrowfully and becoming a sobbing mess. Remembering about Shinnosuke who brought his wounded little sister, the doctor soon approached the crying mess named Shinnosuke, in hope to cheer up whatever making him becoming this.

"Matsuda-san… What are you doing here? Why are you crying?" asked the doctor while trying to comfort the guy

"Huhuhuhuhuhu….Don't play nice with me! Huhuhuhu….. Don't you see that I'm crying! I lost my precious little sister! I lost my Ruby! Huhuhuhuhuhu…. Ruby…. Ruby… Ruby…" sobbed Shinnosuke continuously

"Losing your precious little sister? Matsuda-san, I don't understand at all."

"Don't play dumb! Your friend said that Ruby is dead! Huhuhuhuhu….. Please, don't disturb me… Huhuhuhuhu…. I just want some time alone….. Huhuhuhuhuhu…" continued Shinnosuke while still trying to stop his tears and cries but without avail. Knowing this, the nice doctor soon glared at his colleagues a bit. Seeing this, the previous doctor soon turned away while whistling happily.

"Haa….. I'm sorry, Matsuda-san…. It seems that my friend is joking with another patient again."

"What do you mean?" asked Shinnosuke, stopped crying

"In truth, Ruby-chan isn't dead at all! She is still alive! The operation was a success. Despite losing so many bloods, we still could save her. Thankfully, one of my friends is an expert in critical operation like this. So, Ruby-chan's life could be saved." Said the doctor with a smile. Hearing the contradicting theories between the two doctors, of course, made Shinnosuke so confused. However, knowing the chance that Ruby was still alive gave some glitter light of hope in Shinnosuke's heart. For now, he wanted to believe that Ruby wasn't dead at all.

"Really, Doc!? Really!? I'm not dreaming, right!? I heard that Ruby is still alive and the operation was a success!?" asked Shinnosuke while still couldn't believe if this really a reality

"Of course, Ruby is safe and sound for now."

"But, I heard from your friend that Ruby is dead! I'm confused who is telling truth right now." Said Shinnosuke, still skeptical toward who is the right one. Seeing this, the doctor soon glanced at his colleagues once again, who was still whistling as if nothing happened. The nice doctor soon made a very deep sigh before telling Shinnosuke the truth.

"The truth is… My friend has a habit to joke and tease patients. Whenever there is a big operation and it's a success, he will lie to the patient's family to make them feel so sorrowful. He said that seeing their expression is a very interesting point to watch." Said the doctor. Hearing the doctor's words, Shinnosuke soon made a deathly glare toward the lying doctor in front of him. Knowing that his cover was blown up, the lying doctor soon tip-toed away from the two. Unfortunately, the doctor felt that his shoulder was gripped by someone really hard and he felt an intense killing aura from his behind.

"Where do you think you're going~~~?" asked Shinnosuke very nice with a very big smile in his face

"Hehe… I have to right now….. I remember that I have a meeting and an immediate operation now… So…. Haha… Can you please release me, please?" whimpered the doctor who felt scared with Shinnosuke's sudden change of emotion. Well, he smiled but the doctor knew that the smile wasn't a good thing and it was a forced one.

"Sorry, man. But, you won't go anywhere until I'm done with you~~." Said Shinnosuke with a bigger smile than before, scaring the lying doctor

Not long after that, the whole hospital could hear a very loud screaming, whimpering and crying in the corridor…..

"Matsuda-san, I'm really sorry for my colleagues' antics. You know sometimes his antics really annoy me and the other doctors since we need an extra hand to handle the patients' family who get shocked really hard. But, please don't take it too much in your heart. At least, Ruby-chan is safe, right?" explained the nice doctor

"Yeah….. At least, that guy already deserved what he needed. It's as you said, it's fine as long as my precious little sister is still alive. I'm really relieved since Ruby is already a part of my life. Just thinking about losing her….. Ugh… I don't know what I should do…" replied Shinnosuke while trying to hold his sorrow

"But, there's one problem here, Matsuda-san."

"What!? But you said that Ruby's operation was a success and she is already safe and sound. What happened to Ruby!? Is there something wrong with her!? Please, tell me, Doc."

"The truth is, despite Ruby-chan already passed her critical times; she is still in coma right now. It's understandable since despite her body was already healed, her brain couldn't coupe with her healed body just yet. The mental pain and shock in her brain made it even worse. Knowing this, the chance that Ruby will open her eyes once again is very slim. Worse, she might won't open her eyes again."

"No way….. Ruby… Why must she suffer something like this? Ugh…. I'm sorry, Ruby…. I fail to be a good brother for you….. I'm truly sorry….." said Shinnosuke while trying to hold his tears and sorrow

"But, don't worry, Matsuda-san. The rest depends on Ruby-chan's will to live. If she wants to meet her brother again, I'm sure she will open her eyes again no matter what. That's why, I want you to give some support toward her while she is still in coma. Try to give some talk to her and that might help to wake her up." Comforted the doctor to the Shinnosuke, giving the boy some little hope and chance to wake Ruby up from her slumber. Soon, they arrived in front of a room in the hospital.

"Ruby-chan is in there. I'll leave the rest to you. I'm going to take my leave, there's still some patients that need my check up. Hope that Ruby-chan will get better soon."

"Thank you, Doctor! You don't know how much grateful I'm after you saved my little sister. Once again, thank you for saving my precious treasure in my life. I don't know what I should do if Ruby is really dead." Thanked Shinnosuke while bowing to the doctor

"You're welcome." Said the doctor before leaving Shinnosuke alone in the corridor

After seeing that the doctor was out from his line of sight, Shinnosuke decided to enter Ruby's ward. However, he hesitated at first since Shinnosuke felt he wasn't worthy to even face Ruby after what he had done to her. Heck, despite not liking Yang at all, he felt that she was more worthy than him to see Ruby's condition at that time. Shinnosuke took a glance toward his hands and while it wasn't as bloody from Ruby's blood as before, his minds were playing at him and showed an illusion as if Shinnosuke's hands were still as bloody as ever. Seeing the terrifying illusion, Shinnosuke gasped a bit and it seemed that he still couldn't shrug off his trauma from the event just yet. Soon, Shinnosuke just leaned his head to the Ruby's ward's door before reminiscing what he had passed in these few but heart breaking moments of his. When Shinnosuke looked at his hand again, he still found it as bloody as if he once again stabbed Ruby with it.

"Ruby…. What should I do? I already hurt you with these bare hands… I'm not even sure whether you want to see such a bad brother like me anymore….. I'm even should be grateful if you even glance toward for once, haha…" laughed Shinnosuke bitterly before going back to silence.

Knowing that standing in front of the ward wouldn't be any better, Shinnosuke soon decided to meet Ruby while making a very deep sigh. While gripping the door's knob, Shinnosuke embraced himself to enter the ward. Soon, Shinnosuke got a full view of what was inside the ward. Of course there were so many medical equipments there though he couldn't list all of them since there were just too many and he isn't a typical medical people for whatsoever. What his attention was Ruby who was lying peacefully in the bed. Seeing Ruby's conditions, of course this made another mental jab for Shinnosuke. He didn't expect Ruby's conditions to be as this worse. There were so many bandages covering every inches of Ruby's limp body. Even her head was almost completely covered by bandaged, safe for her right eye and nose. An oxygen mask could be seen in Ruby's mouth and seeing his little sister could even barely breathe fresh air somewhat made Shinnosuke unable to hold his tears anymore. Her hand was connected to a drip stand to give her the nutrition that she needed. Shinnosuke slowly approached Ruby while letting some tears fell from his eyes. When he was at Ruby's side, Shinnosuke soon fell to his knees before letting out even more sorrowful, regret and relieved tears from his orange eyes. For Shinnosuke, yes, he felt really sad and regret for what he had done to Ruby. But, he couldn't hide the feelings of relieved and grateful that at least Ruby was still even breathing at this point.

"Hey, Ruby…? How are you today? Do you still remember me? It's your best Onii-chan in the whole universe….." said Shinnosuke softly at Ruby's ear. Though, he only met by the silence of the room. Despite that, he still went on with his conversation.

"You know…. Things weren't as good as you think, Ruby. Man, you couldn't imagine how worried I was when you were so bloodied like that, haha… Heh, I even almost lost hope about whether you could pass the operation successfully or not. Thank God, that you are now safe and sound here….." said Shinnosuke despite no response. Though

"Well, you know….. I don't know what that "Bitch" would do to me if she found out my cutest little sister is lying in the hospital bed. Heck, I don't even think that I could run out from her without a scratch. It's already a fortune if she doesn't break a leg from mine, hehe…" said Shinnosuke again while also patting and caressing Ruby's head. But…. There was still no response at all.

"Not only that, actually….. You know it is quite lonely without Oyaji and Summer-san…Despite I'm not the best and most person who would love her as a mother….. I must say Summer-san is a good wife for our father….and a good mother…..for you, Ruby… She made the most delicious cooking for you two but I used to criticize her a lot…. She used to read bed time stories for you and me but I also refused….. When she went out for shopping our daily foods, of course, I refused her either….. When she tried to give me affection, I totally refused, mad, shouted and cursed her…. And despite that… She still smiled a lot to us…." Sobbed Shinnosuke who almost let his tears fell down even more and crying like a baby

"Oyaji was nice either… He was the best father that we could wish…. I remember how much he loved you, Ruby. As his paternal son, I even used to be jealous toward you too. Maybe that's why I also acted so mean toward you when I was child… Man, I didn't expect that the "Kid" me would be as spoiled like this…. But, now…. We are only alone with ourselves….. Only you and me…." Murmured Shinnosuke with a sad tone

"But, nah, it's okay, right, Ruby? That Bitch, Yang, still often visits us and I couldn't be happy to see your big and cheerful smile whenever you meet her. Despite I don't really like her, I must say she is a better big sister for you compared to a big brother like me who always shouts and curses. Uncle Taiyang is good too. He feels like another father figure for the both of us. He is similar to Oyaji in several ways, though a clumsier version, hahaha….. Oh yeah, not to mention about Uncle Qrow! Man, he is a totally freaking badass! He is a type of person that you and I want to be. Despite the lack of empathy toward the society or frequently slacking off, you couldn't underestimate him at all. Uncle Qrow once gave us 3 advices in becoming a Huntsman and Huntress: You have three orders: First, don't die. Then, if your number's up, get out. The last but not the least, hide yourself. If you're lucky, catch the enemy off guard and screw it. Wait, is that 4? Argh! Forget it!" said Shinnosuke who wasn't able to control his emotions anymore. He sunk his head toward Ruby's unmoving body while gripping the bed's railing really hard as if he wanted to break it with his bare hands.

"Ne…. Ruby… I know that you can't hear my voice here… But, at least….. I hope that you could listen to these words…." Said Shinnosuke while still sinking his head and hearing no response

"I… I… I….. I don't want you to leave my side….. Please, Ruby….. I beg you….. Huhuhuhuhuhu… I know that I was so mean toward you…. But, please don't punish me like this… Huhuhuhu….. I don't care whether you will still like or even love me after what I had done to you…. But, at least, I beg you to open your eyes once again, Ruby… Huhuhu…. I want to see your beautiful silver eyes just like your mother and your cheerful smile back….. Please….. Huhuhuhuhu…. I don't know what I should if I lose you… Not to mention….. I already lost Summer-san, Oyaji and I never know who my paternal mother is…. I lost so many precious people before…. That's why….. Huhuhuhuhu… Please at least let me be selfish for once, Ruby…. Huhuhuhuhuhuhuhu….." cried Shinnosuke and still hearing no response from his little sister at all. That day…Shinnosuke spent the remaining time of the day by crying non-stop at Ruby's side….

~RWBYS~

"Hey, Ruby! How are you doing today!?" asked Shinnosuke cheerfully while opening Ruby's ward's door

He was bringing so many things with him that he wanted to show and give for his dearest little sister. Despite his usual upbringing and cheerful personality of Shinnosuke, Ruby was still laying on the hospital's bed. Yes, it had been 3 months since that tragic incident between Shinnosuke and Ruby. It was also the same amount that Ruby spent in her slumber; she hadn't woken up from her coma since the operation that Ruby had went through. Though, it couldn't be said that Ruby's conditions hadn't improved up until that time. At least, all of her external injuries were already healed and the doctor had removed almost all of her bandages in Ruby's body. Not to mention that Ruby's body was more prime and stable than 3 months back. So, she didn't need oxygen mask anymore. The problem was Ruby hadn't showed any sign of awakening from her coma despite her improved conditions at that time. Even a single twitching from her hands hadn't appeared at that time. Despite that, Shinnosuke always came to visit Ruby and gave some moral and mental support to her every day. Shinnosuke always tried to talk with Ruby despite the zero chance to have any response. That day, Shinnosuke brought so many things that Ruby loves and wants.

"Hmmm…. Still quiet as ever, huh? Ha…. But, that's my little sister! At least, you have improved until now. It's something that should be appreciated, you know, hahaha….." laughed Shinnosuke dryly. However, he still met with the usual silence that he always got from Ruby in the past 3 months. Every time he made a conversation or talked with Ruby, he never got the response that he wanted. Instead, he only met with the silence in the ward, barring for the medical equipments' beeping and sounds. Seeing this, Shinnosuke could only lower his shoulders and almost breaking down into sorrow once again. However, Shinnosuke soon shrug the feelings off and made another smile before approaching the sleeping Ruby.

"Haaa…. You're always like this, Ruby… You always give trouble to me, Summer-san and Oyaji, particularly during your childhood. Let's see the time when you got that fever and I and your mother needed to chase because you refused to drink tablet medicines. Not only that, you used to venture in the forest near our house and you almost lost in there. Thankfully, Oyaji could find you before anything bad could happen. Well, you really gave us so many troubles back then…." Said Shinnosuke softly while putting all of the things that he brought

He soon took a small cloth that he brought before proceeding to wipe Ruby's sweat and some dirt in her body. Well, of course that he needed to take care of Ruby's body while she was still in coma since Ruby couldn't do anything to her body, particularly on her excretion process in her body. Shinnosuke usually cleaned up the mess that Ruby made because of her body's excretion. Despite that, he didn't complain about it at all. After all, it was a rare for him to give some affection to Ruby like this. Shinnosuke also felt that it was some kind of punishment due to his bad antics toward Ruby both in childhood and recently.

"Well, despite all of that troubles that you made, I never hate you, Ruby. Though it might be different cases if I'm still like my child self, but now? I'm already changed Ruby, thanks to you. When I'm at the lowest point in my life, you are always there for me. You give me the hope to move on despite how much I have to gone through. Your cheerful and innocent smile is the energy that made me able to go up until this point. I don't know if you don't enter my life. Maybe, I will still like the spoiled self of mine when I was a child. Ruby… You don't know how much grateful I'm with you in my life… I'm really grateful to meet you… Despite how mean I'm, you never leave my side and always side me no matter what…. Thank you, Ruby… I don't know…..what I should do without you….." said Shinnosuke softly while trying to hold his tears and still wiping Ruby's body. Unbeknownst to him, he accidentally let a tear fell from his eyes to Ruby's eye. Despite Shinnosuke doesn't really believe in fairytale or anything, he wanted to believe that his tear could at least twitch Ruby's eye like in those drama and tale. But, as he had known, there was no movement from Ruby at all, even in the slightest. Shinnosuke soon wiped his tears before making another smile in his face.

"Hey, Ruby, check out what your Onii-chan has! Look, this is your favorite chocolate chip cookies!" said Shinnosuke before taking out a box of chocolate chip cookies from the bag that he brought

"Umm… Delicious! I don't know how delicious these cookies can be! Nyam, nyam, nyam….. No wonder that this is your favorite food, right, Ruby?" asked Shinnosuke, only to know that he only got silence. Despite that, Shinnosuke soon took out a glass of milk from the bag.

"Hey, Ruby! Do you know what's the best thing in the middle of the morning? A glass of fresh milk! Um…. It looks so appetizing!" said Shinnosuke before drinking the milk

"And it's not only that! What's more delicious than these cookies and milk? Well, of course, chocolate chip cookies bathed with delicious white milk!" said Shinnosuke before pouring a chocolate chip cookie to the glass of milk. He soon ate the cookie and munching it happily with a smile. However, Shinnosuke's smile soon faded when he realized that Ruby was still unmoving at the slightest. Though, he soon shrugged it off before taking out another thing from his bag. This time it was a reading book.

"Hey, Ruby, check out what I got! This is a reading book about fairytale that I used to read when you were about to sleep. Well, first is… AAL: Alive A Lazer! It's a story about man and his bodyguard who meet supernatural and strong girls. They make the girls know about love and seal their power. On the other side, we have an Expert Gamer and a son from the big game corporation who want to save the girls and use their powers for good. The Expert Gamer is a really expert gamer, particularly in racing game. It's a clashing ideal between the two sides. And then…. Oh, this is The Ninjas of Love 2: The Ninja From the West! It's a sequel from the first Ninja of Love and it's centering about Tawada Kinji, a ninja that comes from the America. He meets with the titular ninja girl in the story and of course, love triangle ensues! Not only that, there's also….." said Shinnosuke before stop opening a page from the book. He remembered that the novel is full of lemons and he really knew that there is a visual where Tawada pushed the ninja girl to the bed before covering them in a blanket and….. Just add anything that comes across your minds.

"A katana, yep! Well, those were quite awkward stories….. So, how about a more mainstream and usual fairytale!? How about The Little Red Riding Hood, Ruby!?" asked Shinnosuke before taking out the aforementioned book. However, seeing Ruby's condition, Shinnosuke became so low spirited and decided not to read the book. Shinnosuke then made a deep sigh.

"Haaa… Seems like reading isn't a good thing for you, huh, Ruby? Then, how about a game!? I have got tons of cool games, Ruby! Look at your cool Onii-chan play this game!" said Shinnosuke after taking out a portable console game. He soon played the game while showing the screen to Ruby's sleeping face. Despite that, Shinnosuke still played the game enthusiastically in front of Ruby.

"Wow! I didn't expect for the boss to be so hard like this! This is very challenging and exciting! But, don't worry, Ruby, it will be a breeze in your brother's hands… I CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE!" said Shinnosuke before throwing the console game to the floor really hard. He soon gripped the railing in Ruby's bed really tight while looking down to Ruby's limp body. Shinnosuke couldn't control his emotions anymore and he soon fell to his knees while letting more tears fell from his eyes.

"Ruby, I can't take it anymore….. Please, don't do this to me… I can't bare this punishment and burden anymore….. I already have enough pain so please don't give more pain to me like this… At least, say something, Ruby…. Say something like: "Onii-chan", "I love cookies", I want to be hug by Onii-chan", "Let's go for a Grimm-busting" or anything….. JUST SAY EVEN ON WORD, RUBY!" said Shinnosuke before banging the wall nearby him with his fist. However, doing that only threw Shinnosuke to the edge of sorrow and despair even more than before. Shinnosuke soon caressed Ruby's black hair with some red tint slowly while letting a stream of tears flowed in his eyes.

"I'm sorry, Ruby…. My existence is already a bad thing for you in the first place… You and your mother wouldn't be like this if I and my father didn't meet you two…. I'm sorry for being a bad brother for you and a spoiled kid for Summer-san… I understand…. I will leave your side, Ruby….. Maybe by that way…. You could find the true happiness that you always want to seek…" said Shinnosuke before tearfully getting up from the floor. He soon took out the Eyecons that he got from before which were the Eyecon that holds his soul and the Sanzo Eyecon. Shinnosuke also took out the Ghost Driver from his leather jacket's pocket. He then glared at those things with sharp eyes before throwing all of those things to the floor.

"It's your fault… IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR MAKING RUBY LIKE THIS! I DON'T NEED THESE FREAKING THINGS ANYMORE!" shouted Shinnosuke before punching the floor really hard. He soon laughed really hard hysterically in the room like a psychopath. Though, his laughter soon faded quickly into a long lasting whimpering, sobbing and crying from the boy. All that Shinnosuke could do was banging the floor really hard while crying like a mess. After spending several minutes of that, Shinnosuke soon decided to get up from the floor before taking off the cowboy hat that he always wears.

"Oyaji once said that I should become a man that is worthy enough to wear this hat….. Feh, but I think that I'm no longer worthy enough for this hat….. I already hurt and almost killed Ruby with these hands…." Said Shinnosuke before placing his hat in the table nearby Ruby's bed. He soon slowly walked away from Ruby with sorrowful face and scarred mental. Shinnosuke already decided what he would do next and he thought it would be the best for him, and Ruby. He then opened the ward's door before exiting the ward. However, he stopped a bit just before he closed the door.

"Ruby….. I don't know whether you could open your eyes again or not…. But, I hope you could do it… However, when that time comes… Please, don't search me…. I'm not going to be in this world anymore…." Whispered Shinnosuke sadly before closing the door. Not long after that, Shinnosuke could be seen coming out from the hospital while looking at the bright blue sky above him. He then made a stressful sigh before proceeding walking away from the hospital. Unbeknownst by him, he was being watched by Alice from afar. The woman could only make a disappointed sigh.

"What a fool guy, huh?" said Alice sarcastically before taking her leave

On the other side, Shinnosuke was walking in the sidewalk slowly without any sign of spirit to live anymore. He continued his zombie or undead-like walking. He kept staring at the ground without even looking everything in front of him. Shinnosuke kept bumping against the fellow pedestrians, but he didn't care about it at all or even taking an effort to apologize at all. For him, Shinnosuke didn't really care about his surroundings anymore nor did he care about his own life anymore. Without Ruby, Shinnosuke didn't even consider himself to be alive anymore. Ruby is everything for him, especially after their parents' dead, and Shinnosuke considered himself to lose his own life due to what he had done to Ruby. He also couldn't shook out the mental image where his hands were still bloodied with his little sister's fresh blood. When Shinnosuke glanced at his hands and Shinnosuke saw the mental image of that event again. Seeing this, he soon clenched his fists really hard to the point that real blood came out from his fists. However, Shinnosuke didn't feel pain from his fists anymore. He felt that the mental pain from seeing Ruby in coma was more painful than this. He soon took out his phone before calling someone.

"Hello? Who is this?" asked the receiver of Shinnosuke's call

"It's me… Yang…." Replied Shinnosuke softly

"Oh, so it's you, Kid. Man, it was quite surprising and like a once in a blue moon for you to call me manually, instead of my baby sister calls me and you disturb our happy time. What do you want, huh? If you want to whine about me or calling me "Bitch" again, then you're in the wrong moment. I have much better thing to do than dealing with a COW-boy maniac like you." Said Yang uninterested since she already knew that Shinnosuke might be just insulted her or making sarcasm again.

"I'm not here for a joke, do you hear me…Yang?" said Shinnosuke with a more lifeless tone. Of course with the shift of tone made yang was a bit surprised to hear it.

"Oi, oi, Kid, what happened to you? You don't sound fine. Did something happened?" asked Yang worried

"I will say this once so remember it carefully, Yang…... Ruby is at the hospital near the Northern Forest… She is at the second floor and room 205….. I will leave the rest to you….."

"WHAT!? WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, KID!? WHAT HAPPENED TO RUBY, HUH!? WHAT HAPPENED TO HER!? Hello….. Hello….. HELLO! OI, OI, OI! ANSWER ME, KID! KID! KID! SHINNOSUKE!" shouted Yang panicked. However, her shout was futile because Shinnosuke already left the phone in the sidewalk.

Despite he had thrown away his phone, Shinnosuke didn't really care about it at all. He just kept walking with his fellow pedestrians in the street. For him, Shinnosuke didn't care about the world or his own self anymore. He just…wanted Ruby to be happy and he felt that his existence only brought trouble for her. That's why, Shinnosuke thought about leaving Ruby forever for her safety. Not long after walking in the sidewalk, Shinnosuke finally arrived at an intersection. He stood perfectly at the edge of the intersection. There were so many people at the side and behind Shinnosuke since the traffic light was still red. It was a normal view for an intersection like this. Shinnosuke himself was staring down at the ground and his bangs completely covered his eyes, so his facial expression was completely hidden.

Right at Shinnosuke's side, there was a girl standing beside him. The girl has a long silk black hair that is even darker than normal people's hair. She wears a black buttoned vest with coattails, and a white sleeveless undershirt that exposes part of her midriff with white shorts that may be connected to her shirt, but is obscured by her vest. Her shorts have a zipper on the front of each leg and she wears a black stocking, starting from her hips, but gradually fades to purple when it nears her shoes. There is also a symbol of a flower at the side of her stocking. She also wears black ribbons on both of her arms, with a black detached sleeve and a silver band on her left arm. Lastly, the most noticeable feature from the girl was the black ribbon which was tied in a bow in the girl's head. Unfortunately, the girl was reading a book at that time so her facial appearance was obscured by the book.

The girl took a glance toward the traffic light and she could only make a light sigh since there were no signs whether it would turn to green. Not only that, it was pretty crowded both in her sides and behind. She felt she was sandwiched alive there and she also felt quite awkward in the crowd and society like this. She just hoped that she could go away from there as fast as she can. However, for her curiosity, she took a glance toward Shinnosuke who was right beside her. She saw Shinnosuke's demeanor and antic were quite weird. For instance, he didn't look at the traffic light and only looked to the ground. To make it weirder, he sometimes took a glance to the incoming cars from the opposite street. Not to mention that Shinnosuke's hands were quivering very much like as if he was a bit scared. The girl only felt it was quite weird for a man like Shinnosuke to act like that. While still reading her book, the girl also kept an eye for Shinnosuke. She had a rather bad feeling for what Shinnosuke would do at that time. At the same time, there was a truck heading to the intersection and Shinnosuke also took a glance toward the truck's speed which was rather fast. When the girl didn't eye on Shinnosuke, she was quite surprised to see what the boy did and even his actions took all the attention of the fellow pedestrians.

"Sayonara… Ruby….." whispered Shinnosuke in his minds while jumping to the street, right in the truck's way.

The truck's driver was really surprised to see Shinnosuke suddenly jumped to his way. The driver was really panicked and he tried to brake the truck as fast as he can. Unfortunately, the distance between them was really short and even using brake would be useless. Seeing this, Shinnosuke soon closed his eyes for the impeding death in front of his eyes. However, he made one final smile in his face just as the truck was a few inches from him.

"Watch out!" shouted the girl to Shinnosuke

Of course Shinnosuke heard her scream but it was going to be futile. There would be no one who could stop the truck or save him in time. He then waited for several seconds and let himself got hit by the truck. However… Even after several seconds, Shinnosuke hadn't felt the impact that he should have got at that time. Instead, he felt that he was grabbed or hugged by someone and they were pushed away from the truck's way. When Shinnosuke embraced himself to open his eyes, he went agape toward what he saw in his vision. He saw that the girl, who was reading the book right at his side, was on top of his body which lay in the ground. From there, he could see the girl's full facial appearance. The girl has amber eyes with some purple tints at the edge of her eyes. Lastly, her eyes were tilted upward a bit like… Well, Shinnosuke didn't really care about it for now. He needed to take care of their situation first. Actually, it was pretty awkward for both of them. Their face was really close that they could almost do "it" if the girl was pushed a mere inch to him. Not only that, Shinnosuke was astounded to see the girl's beautiful amber eyes; orange met amber. And her outfits….. Well, Shinnosuke thought it was quite attractive and he couldn't hide his tomato cheeks from the girl.

"Are you alright?" asked the girl a bit worried

"Ummm… Yeah…" stammered Shinnosuke a bit

Several minutes later, the girl could be seen sitting in a bench on the park. Thankfully, there were no casualties in the incident. Shinnosuke already apologized to the truck driver and since there were no injuries at all, they decided to end it with peace without calling the authority. The crowding pedestrians also soon left them after the incident was cool downed. Though, the girl didn't leave without a scratch since her right arm was quite injured. Her hand was bleeding a bit but it was twitching really hard. The girl tried to endure the pain in her hand since she didn't want to make herself looked weak or making Shinnosuke worried to her savior back then.

"Hey, did you already wait long?" asked Shinnosuke nicely while approaching the girl, who had saved him, with a box of dorayaki in his hands. Instinctively, the girl hid her injuries from Shinnosuke's vision. Shinnosuke soon took a sit at the girl's side.

"No. After all, I'm already used to wait for a long period of time. That's why; I always bring a book with me." Said the girl while showing the book that she had read before

"Oh….. So, you're a reading maniac, huh?"

"Is that an insult or a compliment?"

"Hey, don't be so skeptical like that. After all, you already saved me back then. Why should I insult my savior like that!? Also, I think reading is a cool activity. I even spend my time for 2-3 hours to read a book, actually. Man, I couldn't think that youngsters nowadays rarely or even hate reading activity. I don't think that there are so many people who read novels, literatures, or any other good books lately. So, it was nice to meet another book lovers like you, even a hardcore one." Replied Shinnosuke with a smile

"Hmm….. Thanks. Sorry, if I was too harsh. I just have a hard time to trust people, especially since most people call me a bookworm. They just don't know how fun reading can be." Replied the girl with another smile in her face

"Nah, don't take account on that. Anyway, we haven't properly introduced ourselves, right? Okay, I'm Matsuda Shinnosuke. Nice to meet you, errr…."

"Blake, Blake Belladonna. That's my name."

"Yes, Blake! Yep, what a meaningful name that you have, Blake-chan. Agh! I'm sorry for using my country's suffix. It's a habit to call someone with an honorary suffix back in my country."

"Don't worry about it. I don't mind it at all, Matsuda-kun."

"Hey, what did you call me? If I'm right, perhaps you…."

"Yes, Matsuda-kun. I also once lived in Japan too. Not only that, my mother is a Japanese too so I'm also a half-Japanese." Replied Blake

"Really!? Wow! Blake-chan, you don't know how happy I'm right now! It's really nice to see another person who has the same background with me! It's really hard for me to find a friend who is so similar to me and I only live with my little sister. So, it was quite lonely. But, that aside anyway, I'm really happy to meet you, Blake-chan. I also born in Japan and my father is a Japanese too."

"Really too? Well, I didn't expect to meet another person like me after an incident like that. But, it is a pleasure to meet and know you, Matsuda-kun.

"Well, I'm really sorry for putting you to trouble that time. I was quite dozed off so I didn't see the traffic light. I thought it was already green so I decided to cross the street, unknowing that there was a truck heading to me. But, thanks again, Blake-chan, hahaha." Laughed Shinnosuke dryly; though, he didn't see that he got a skeptical stare from Blake.

"Anyway, I already bought some dorayakis from a nearby stand. Try it out! For me, dorayaki is the best food in the world, especially in Japan." Said Shinnosuke before offering a dorayaki to Blake

"Dorayaki, huh? It's been ages since I ate this food. Well, its kind made me remembered my childhood with my mother. She made the best dorayaki and the most delicious one."

"Really? Well, I hope that I could see your mother too. I want to taste the dorayaki that your mother made."

"Yeah….. I hope so…" said Blake before making a sigh and a rather sad face

"Um? Why do you look so sad, Blake-chan?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Anyway, we should just eat these dorayakis now, right?"

"Well, yeah. But, unfortunately, I must go to the hospital again to meet my little sister. She really needs my care so I need to go there as fast as possible. You can have my portion and the rest. Well, bye for now, Blake-chan." Said Shinnosuke before giving his dorayakis to Blake. However, he was surprised to see Blake gripped his hand really hard; prompting him from leaving his seat. Even Blake showed another skeptical expression with a rather worried face.

"And where do you think you're going to, Matsuda-kun?"

"I'm going to the hospital, right?"

"Don't lie to me and to yourself, Matsuda-kun! Do you think I'll buy your stories that you need to go to the hospital and meet your little sister!? I know what you are going to do, Matsuda-kun. So, please stop this. You will only hurt yourself!" said Blake worried

"What are you saying, Blake-chan!? I just want to go to the hospital to meet my little sister! Nothing more and nothing else! So, can you just release your grip? I'm rather busy, you know!" protested Shinnosuke while trying to release himself from Blake's grip. But, she was quite strong in her size; her grip was so firm that Shinnosuke couldn't release it without a bit force.

"No! I won't let you do the same mistake like before, Matsuda-kun!" said Blake while trying to hold Shinnosuke in place

"You made me have to do this, Blake-chan!" said Shinnosuke before using his free hand to punch Blake's stomach really hard. With Blake being shocked by the punch, Shinnosuke soon released himself from Blake's grip before trying to leave her.

"Wait, Matsuda-kun!" said Blake while clutching her stomach

"I'm sorry, Blake-chan…." Murmured Shinnosuke. However, he was surprised to see his hand was gripped by someone once again. Soon, he turned his face to see the one who held him again and to his surprise, it was Blake again. Unfortunately, as Shinnosuke turned his face to Blake, he got a swift slap in his cheek by the raven haired girl. The force of slap was quite strong to make Shinnosuke fell to the ground. Blake herself was breathing with ragged breaths and she showed a rather sad with her watery eyes.

"Do you like it, Matsuda-kun? DO YOU REALLY LIKE IT!?" said Blake before crouching to Shinnosuke's eye level. She then shook Shinnosuke's body continuously in hope to snap Shinnosuke back to reality. However, the boy only avoided an eye contact with the person in front of him.

"Why, Matsuda-kun? Why must you do this? Do you think that I'm rather stupid or what? I already knew that you really wanted to commit a suicide at that intersection. You showed so many signs as if you don't care to your surroundings anymore or to your own life anymore! Do you think that I will let you go away once again and try to commit another suicide!? I don't want to let you do this, especially since we have a rather similar background!" said Blake while kept shaking Shinnosuke's body

"You don't understand my feelings, Blake-chan! You don't know what I feel right now! Please, don't say as if you really care about me!"

"Why don't you just be honest with your own feelings, Matsuda-kun!? You could express what pained you or what you felt to me! I might be not the best person to confide to, but at least, I could make you ease your mental pain, right? You just need to be honest with yourself."

"Don't say anything more, Blake-chan! I'm just a monster! I hurt my own little sister with this blood hands! I almost lost my precious person in my life and it was all because of me! I made a deal with a Devil and I thought that I could save Ruby…. But, I was clearly wrong…." Said Shinnosuke who almost couldn't hold his tears anymore

"Matsuda-kun…"

"Huhuhuhu… I'm just a monster in the world of Remnant now and in the past too… I was so mean toward my step mother and Ruby…. I didn't have a good relationship with Oyaji….. Fortunately, I got better later and Ruby became my most precious person and little sister that I could wish for…. Huhuhuhu… But now….. I hurt my own little sister like this….. Huhuhuhuhu… It was as if God gave a huge punishment to me….. Ruby's chance to open her eyes is also really low and I might won't see her beautiful silver nor does his smile either… Huhuhuhuhuhuhu….. I can't take it or burden it anymore….. I will do anything even if I must kill myself if it's going to bring back my little sister to be alive…. Huhuhuhuhuhuhu…. I'm sorry, Ruby…. I'm really sorry… I'm just a terrible brother for you… I failed… Huhuhuhuhu…" said Shinnosuke before breaking down into tears in front of Blake. He even couldn't help himself but punched the ground really hard in order to shake off the sorrow. Unfortunately, it wasn't a thing that could be erased easily. Blake was saddened by Shinnosuke's rather tragic story and she couldn't help but feeling some sympathy toward the boy. Seeing Shinnosuke's break down, Blake took the initiative and she soon hugged Shinnosuke really hard, surprising Shinnosuke who soon stopped his cry.

"Blake….-chan….."

"Ssshhh… Don't say anything too much, Matsuda-kun….. I read in one book that hugging someone when they were stressed or sad could give a mental relieve toward them… Don't worry, Matsuda-kun… I know that we only met just a while ago, but for now, you could cry as much as you want and confide me as many as you want too….. Just do anything that comfort you…" said Blake, touching Shinnosuke's heart really hard with her words. Shinnosuke himself couldn't hold his tears before breaking down into tears once again. However, this time he shed some relieve tears and for the first time, Shinnosuke felt a rather warm sensation in his deepest part of his heart…..

Several minutes later, Blake managed to comfort Shinnosuke and the boy himself managed to control his emotions once again.

"Are you feeling much better, Matsuda-kun?" asked Blake while trying to comfort Shinnosuke

"Yeah, thanks, Blake-chan. I'm feeling much better thanks to you. I don't know what I should do if you aren't in my side right now."

"You're welcome. Anyway, do you mind to tell me more about your stories? Maybe, I could give you some solutions."

"Yeah….. As I said, Blake-chan….. I dealt with the Devil at that time in order to revive myself again….. I knew that it would be so dangerous but I couldn't help it at all. If I was slow a mere second, Ruby will surely die at that time….. However…. Instead of saving her, I only hurt and torture Ruby sadistically…. I don't know what I was doing at that time….. My mind was really blank and when I opened my eyes…. I realized I already stabbed my little sister with my own hands….." said Shinnosuke sadly and even Blake was at lost words hearing Shinnosuke's story

"I managed to bring Ruby to the hospital. She got an immediate operation and it was a success. However… The mental shock and pain in her brain made Ruby fell to comatose state….. Not only that, the probability and chance that she will open her eyes are so low despite her external injuries were already healed….. And it's already 3 months since then… Just don't know what I should do….."

"Matsuda-kun….."

"I think it's a punishment from the God since I was born as a monster's kid. I'm just nothing than a monster! I'm just an undead! I hurt my Ruby with these hands and I still couldn't shrug off the mental image where my hands were still bloodied with her blood…. I don't know who I'm or what I'm right now…. I don't know if I could be even called a human anymore… I don't even know if I'm still the Shinnosuke that I know or the others know… Honestly, I don't really know my identity at all nor does my own existence here… Why did I born in the world of Remnant if I'm going just to bring misery to every people close to me….." said Shinnosuke frustrated while messing his hair really hard. Shinnosuke soon covered half of his face with his hand before letting more tears fell from his eyes. However, he soon met with a pat in his back from Blake.

"There, there, Matsuda-kun. You know, I might be not the best person to confide in nor am I the best person to give an advice. But, actually, you just need to be yourself, Matsuda-kun." Comforted Blake

"What do you mean?"

"Look, Matsuda-kun. No matter who you're or what you're and whether you're a human, a monster or an undead, Matsuda-kun is Matsuda-kun. No one can change that single fact! We're given our names since our birth. From the book that I read, those names depicted us as who we're not what we're. You know that we're all humans but what really differentiate us from one and another?"

"That's…. Because of our own self that are depicted in our names, right?"

"Yes! That's why no matter what you're, Matsuda-kun, remember that you're Matsuda Shinnosuke. If you have an identity crisis, always remember to trust and believe your own heart and your own self!"

"I know that… Blake-chan… But, I still can't forgive myself from what I had done to Ruby…. It's like a sin that I must bear for the remaining of my live….." said Shinnosuke with low spirit while clenching his fist tightly. For him, he just can't easily forget the fact that his hands were already bloodied and no one can erase it. However, to his surprise, his fist was touched by Blake's rather soft palm.

"Matsuda-kun…. I know that it's not easy to forget what already past, especially the bad memories. But, please don't burden yourself anymore with this. Just release your mental burden and torture to yourself. I know that Ruby wouldn't want you to be like this. I'm sure that Ruby doesn't blame you for what you had done to her. After all, she is your own little sister and there's no reason for her to hate you for any reason. It was just an accident. You couldn't control yourself at that time so it wasn't your fault entirely. Please, don't torture your own self like this anymore, Matsuda-kun." Said Blake. Hearing Blake's words somewhat opened Shinnosuke's minds. He felt more relieved and eased after hearing all of Blake's comforting words. Shinnosuke felt that all of his burden and pain were lifted up a bit. Knowing this, he could only nod to Blake's words.

"Blake-chan… Do you want to meet with Ruby?" asked Shinnosuke which was replied with a nod from the girl

Not so long after that, Shinnosuke and Blake were already in front of Ruby's ward. Before they entered the ward, both of them agreed with themselves with a nod from their head. With a low sigh, Shinnosuke soon opened the ward's door. He soon saw that Ruby was still sleeping in her slumber; she didn't move an inch from her position. Ruby was still as comatose as ever.

"Ruby, I'm here but I'm not alone. I'm here with a new friend of mine, Blake-chan." Said Shinnosuke while approaching the sleeping Ruby

"Hi…. Ruby." Said Blake a bit shy while following Shinnosuke. To be honest, Blake was rather antisocial and meeting new people was quite awkward for her. It was a coincidence that she could meet with another similar person like Shinnosuke. For Shinnosuke, he soon took a seat at Ruby's side before taking her hands and made it to touch Shinnosuke's cheek.

"Ruby….. How is it? It's your Onii-chan's hand. How do you feel? I hope that you could feel this warm sensation…" said Shinnosuke while letting his tears fell from his eyes once again. He used his free hand to caress Ruby's head gently. Even Blake herself couldn't hold her tears and she even let some fell from her amber eyes while closing her mouth.

"You know what….. I might be the cruelest brother in the world…. I even think that I shouldn't been here with you….. I just wish I don't exist in this world… But…. Please….. Ruby, let me be a little bit selfish… I want to be at your side….. I don't want to leave your side anymore…. I want to spend my days with you, you and you… I want to eat chocolate cookies with you again….. I want to play game and read you a bed time story once again….. I want to hug you and see your smile again…. I really want you to be at my side once again… This time, I swear that I will be a better brother for you, Ruby…. That's why…. Huhuhuhuhuhu….. Please wakeup so I could do all of those things with you…. Even if I'm just a literal monster and undead, I still want to be a brother for you….. Huhuhuhuhu…. If I'm really not a human, at least, I want to be Matsuda Shinnosuke… Matsuda Ruby's brother…. I beg you, Ruby….. Please open your eyes… I… I… Huhuhuhu….. I really love you….." cried Shinnosuke softly while kissing Ruby's hand. Blake then patted Shinnosuke's shoulders again in hope to comfort the boy from his sadness. However, to their surprise, Ruby's hand started to twitch slightly and Ruby was trying to say something despite her comatose state. This discovery really relieved and made Shinnosuke really happy and he felt his lost part of his life managed to be recovered.

"Ruby! Ruby, are you alright!?" asked Shinnosuke worried while shaking Ruby's body. Ruby's breaths were a bit ragged but slowly for sure, she was trying to make some words with her mouth. Slowly, she let out those words from her mouth.

"Onii-chan….. I love you…. Don't leave me….. Please….. Don't leave me, Onii-chan…. No matter what…. I love you…..Onii-chan….." said Ruby slowly while still in her comatose state. Hearing this, Shinnosuke felt that his heart was touched by Ruby's words. He felt that he recovered his self which was lost and scarred before because of the incident. However, it was as if Shinnosuke was in Heaven or something; he felt so much relieved and happier than before. He had never felt something like this before in his lifetime. Unbeknownst by him, some relieved tears were falling endlessly from Shinnosuke's eyes.

"Look, Matsuda-kun… Even after what you had done to Ruby, she doesn't put a single hatred toward you at all. Instead, she always loves you like before. Her love never wavers since Ruby loves her brother purely with her heart. You don't need to blame yourself anymore, Matsuda-kun. No one hates you and Ruby is still breathing and alive right now." Comforted Blake while still patting Shinnosuke's shoulders

"Yeah, thank you, Blake-chan…. I'm really relieved and happy right now…. Thank God that Ruby is much better now….. Thank you….. I'm so happy right now….." said Shinnosuke while caressing Ruby's head. Several minutes later, both of them were sitting side by side while waiting Ruby to regain her consciousness. While killing time, Shinnosuke was inspecting the Eyecons that he got before. Blake was quite surprised too to see the mysterious things in Shinnosuke's hands.

"Matsuda-kun, what are those things?" asked Blake curious

"Oh these things…. Well, you could say that these things were the one that gave all of those shit before." Replied Shinnosuke

"What do you mean by that?"

"Well… The story is quite long…." Said Shinnosuke before telling how he got those Eyecons, especially the Ore Ghost Eyecon which contained his soul. After hearing Shinnosuke's story, Blake couldn't help but sympathize to the boy even more. She was also intrigued about the whole Eyecons things.

"That's the whole story… That's why, I'm scared to use this power again and anymore….. When I used this Eyecon, I felt my mind was really clear and blank….. I could only the dark of the world and when I regained my vision….. I saw that terrible vision…. I'm really scared if I will run amok when I use this power again…. I'm afraid that this power will only hurt and bring misery toward the others….. I don't want any more sacrifice again nor do I want anyone get hurt because of me….." said Shinnosuke frustrated while clenching the Ore Eyecon with his hand really tight while closing his eyes from the reality in front of him. However, once again Blake proved her assistance by touching Shinnosuke's clenched fist with both of her hands.

"Matsuda-kun… It's just like what I said. You need to believe yourself. You need to accept the power, not to throw it away or refuse it. If it goes like this, you don't have any chance to return back. You can't change the past, but the future is still blank. Sooner or later, you must use that power again, so you need to embrace it. Accept yourself purely, not as what you're but as who you're, Matsuda-kun." Said Blake with a smile

"Blake-chan….."

"Yeah….. Don't be scared because of this. You need to have courage to use this power. Don't reject it, believe in yourself and use that power, Matsuda-kun. People may have so many doubts in his life but I'm sure if one wants to trust his own self, there's nothing impossible. After all, you're not alone, right? You have a little sister that has an unwavering love to you. I'm sure that she always supports you and I'm sure that she will say the same thing like me. She doesn't want you to be like this so you need to embrace your own self, not as a human, undead or monster. But, as Matsuda Shinnosuke. If you can't do it for your own sake, why can't you do it for Ruby's sake and for me…." Said Blake, although the last one was more quieter than the rest

"What did you say, Blake-chan?"

"Ah, it's nothing. Anyway, I trust if it's you…. Matsuda-kun, I trust that you can do it." Assured Blake. Hearing Blake's words, Shinnosuke felt that his heart was touched again by her. He soon hugged Blake really tight, surprising Blake a bit. However, the girl just let it up and hugged Shinnosuke in return.

"Thank you…. Thank you, Blake-chan….. I don't know what I should do without you… I'm really happy….." sobbed Shinnosuke happily

"Yeah… You're welcome, Matsuda-kun…" replied Blake with a smile

However, their sweet time was disturbed by urgent news in the TV in Ruby's ward.

"We cut this program because of immediate breaking news. Just now, there're some mysterious poltergeist attacks in the street of Vale. Some buildings were damaged and destroyed, cars were cut in half and there were so many combustions in the street. Many people were injured in the incident. The authority said people within the vicinity of the poltergeist actions should evacuate themselves to a safer area." Said the news reader in the TV

Hearing the news, Shinnosuke could only deduce that these were because of the Gammas. And from the image of the Gammas' deducted path, they were heading toward this hospital and they would arrive sooner or later. Seeing that the Gammas were quite quick in their path, it would be too late for the patients to be evacuated. Shinnosuke also felt that the Huntsman and Huntresses wouldn't arrive on time to back the reinforcement up. It would be a very grim situation; especially it would be hard to evacuate comatose patients, like Ruby, from the hospital. Seeing this, Shinnosuke took an initiative by getting up from his seat before taking his Ghost Driver from the table beside Ruby's bed. When he saw the Ghost Driver and his Ore Eyecon, he felt some ominous aura came out from it. However, Shinnosuke fully embraced the aura with a very determined eyes and he finally managed to shrug off the ominous aura from the Driver and the Eyecon. Shinnosuke soon tried to leave the ward quickly. However, he was stopped again by Blake who gripped his hand.

"You're going to do it, aren't you?" asked Blake a bit worried

"Ah! But, don't worry, I won't be scared anymore…. I will accept this power to the fullest and control it! I will believe in myself that I will succeed!" said Shinnosuke with a full determination

"But, it would be impossible to do it alone! After all, I'm a Huntress too. Let me help…. Ugh…." Blake's words were cut short because of the twitching pain in her hand. Seeing this, Shinnosuke soon checked Blake's arm and he was surprised to see her injured arm. However, Blake decided to shrug it off.

"Don't worry, Matsuda-kun… I'm fine; it's just a little injury….. I still could help you…."

"Are you silly!? With that injury, even if you're a professional Huntress, you won't be able to fight at the upmost! You will only kill yourself!" said Shinnosuke worried. He soon took a handkerchief from his pocket before tied it in Blake's arm to stop the bleeding.

"Don't worry about me. I still could…" Blake was cut again when Shinnosuke put his finger to her lip.

"Blake, please no….. Even if you aren't injured, I still won't let you to go with me. It's already enough for Ruby to suffer…. I don't want anybody must suffer the same fate with her….., especially my new friend…. I don't want to lose anyone precious to me anymore…" said Shinnosuke while quivering so much

"Matsuda-kun….."

"Blake-chan….. Please, stay here and take care of Ruby. Evacuate her when it is needed. Don't worry about me. I will win and I'm sure I'm going to return!" said Shinnosuke before trying to take his leave

"Matsuda-kun! Here!" shouted Blake before giving Shinnosuke his trusty cowboy hat. Remembering about it, the boy soon wore his trusty ol' hat once again firmly in his head. Shinnosuke soon opened the ward's door but before he closed it, he gave a thumbs up to Blake. After Shinnosuke left her, Blake could only stare at the handkerchief that was tied in her arm.

"I trust you that you'll come back, Matsuda-kun….." murmured Blake while touching her injured arm that was tied with Shinnosuke's handkerchief. For Ruby, it could be seen that both of her hands and eyes were twitching greatly.

On the other side, Shinnosuke was already in front of the hospital. He soon surveyed his surroundings, in hope to find the person that he needed. However, it didn't take too long since someone greeted him fro his side.

"Hey, did you miss me?" asked the voice at Shinnosuke's side. It was none other than Alice with Yurusen; on a side note, Alice could be seen leaning toward the bike which she showed to Shinnosuke months ago. With a calm composure, Shinnosuke approached them slowly.

"Yeah…. I really miss you, Alice-san…. I really miss the time when you tricked me…." Said Shinnosuke sarcastically with a very cold tone as if he wanted to kill someone

"Fufufu….. You're really sarcastic, Shin-chan… You know my heart was hurt because of your words to the point that I might cry right now." Sobbed Alice while trying to hide her face with her robe

"Just save your tears for somebody else. You think that your fake cry will work against me?"

"Mou, Shin-chan is a meanie….."

"Well, you could just cry in the corner for the rest of your time. But, now, I need that bike. I'm going to use it against those Gammas. It's a payback time." Said Shinnosuke before pushing Alice away from the bike

"Feh! I thought that you don't trust me and you're already beyond broken. If I remembered, you were the one who hurt Ruby, right? I'm surprised that you haven't killed yourself due to the guilt of hurting your own little sister."

"Sorry, there. But, I'm not in the mood to kill myself today. I have two people waiting me to return. Anyway, I can't erase the fact that I was the one who almost killed Ruby… But, then I realized, no matter what… Ruby is always by my side, supporting me to the upmost. Her love to me is really pure and no one can waver her. Not only that, I have a new friend that comfort me when I'm at the lowest point. With that in mind, I can't lose this battle and die. I must return for both of them. Those two trust me with their deepest part of the heart and that's why I must believe in myself. I must trust that I will control this power no matter what." Said Shinnosuke before riding the bike

"Hiii….. Shinnosuke has become creepier than before…. I must get away from…" said Yurusen a bit scared and she decided to leave the scene. However, her head was soon grabbed by Shinnosuke really tight.

"And… Where do you think you're going, Yuru-chan?" said Shinnosuke with a huge smile in his face. Though, his smile somewhat made Yurusen was scared to death. She could only go agape when seeing Shinnosuke's rather scary smile and she decided to just shut her mouth off.

"You're not going anywhere until I finish my business here." Said Shinnosuke before tying up Yurusen's cape to the back part of the bike

"Well, since it's my new bike… I think I need a name here….." murmured Shinnosuke

"Yare, yare, Shin-chan…. Your bike is called Machine Ghostriker. What a cool name, right?" said Alice bluntly

"Yeah…. But, for me, it's the worst name for a bike." Said Shinnosuke sarcastically. Hearing Shinnosuke's words made Alice felt that her head was hit by a huge boulder at that time. She felt that her spirit was crushed to bits by the cowboy guy.

"I think I come up with a better name! How about 'Machine Soulstriker'? It's more fitting, right? But, to be honest, I don't need any more opinion. I need to halt those Gammas as fast as I can." Said Shinnosuke before revving up the Machine Soulstriker. However, before he left Alice, he warned her about something.

"Oh yeah, about do I trust you, Alice-san? Well, the answer is no. After all, I only use you for my bidding and giving me any necessary assistance. You might trick me as much as you want, but remember, I'm more cunning than you look." Said Shinnosuke with a cold glare toward Alice

"Fufufu, I hope that you will still hold your words. Let's see who could use the opposite sides much more. I'm waiting for your tricks, Shinnosuke-chan." Said Alice with a devilish eyes

"Well, I believe and trust that I will definitely win this time." Said Shinnosuke before rushing to the scene with his new bike

~RWBYS~

On the other side, both Katana and Yari Gamma were marching toward the hospital where Ruby was laid to. To make it worse, the Yari Gamma was actively attacking anything in his sight. He had cut cars into half, destroying some buildings and store and burning the city from the blasts from his yari. Their invisible state also helped them spread their terror. The people there could only think that it was just a poltergeist's works and no one would know that the end of their Kingdoms and the rise of Gamma's Kingdom were coming closer. They finally arrived on the park where Shinnosuke and Blake spent their time with.

"Die, you wicked people!" shouted Yari Gamma before firing a laser from the tip of his yari. The people who were still on the park were so terrified and started running away from the park. However, the Yari Gamma stabbed a nearby car with his yari before throwing it to the escaping civilian. The car soon crashed to the unlucky civilian before exploding in a bright explosion, killing any people within the explosion vicinity.

"Hahahahahaha! What a beautiful scenery!? People were running endlessly without having any clue about what's going on! Cry, shout and be terrified, ahahahahaaha! You must understand how weak your Kingdoms are! Did you see that, Aniki?" laughed Yari Gamma sadistically

"Yeah… Good job, Ototo…." Said Katana Gamma uninterested. True to his words, Katana Gamma was remained passive during the whole Yari Gamma's attack. He didn't contribute anything during the whole attack; he just watched Yari Gamma attacking the whole city.

"Haiii… What happened to you, Aniki? You have been like this since 3 months ago! Come on, cheer up a little! We have terrified so many people lately and it would be just months before our Kingdom rises once again." Cheered Yari Gamma to Katana

"I don't know… I just felt bored and tired with what we have done…. I just don't get the thrill and excitement that I want….. I don't find any worthy challenge or enemies…" said Katana a bit bored

"Haaaaa….. Must be because of that incident 3 months ago about that little wreck that had the prototype, right? Don't think about it! I know that Aniki doesn't have so many worthy opponents lately and that kid was a very worthy opponent; too bad that he must be rendered as nothing more than a crying wreck right now. But, just forget it, if not Alain-sama will punish us again for sure. We need to gain enough fear from the people and manipulate the Grimms for our biddings." Assured Yari Gamma

"Well, just do what you want. I will just watch you burn this city to dust." Said Katana

"Okay then, Aniki! Hahahaha" laughed Yari Gamma before firing another laser from his Yari.

He fired more laser toward the trees, buildings and cars; rendering the place to be nothing more than a hell of fire. Everything was burned to crisp at that time and no one could stop the Gammas. The Yari Gamma was about to fire another laser until he felt someone's presence and he was approaching them really fast. Both Yari and Katana soon turned their head to see that Shinnosuke was approaching both of them while riding his Machine Soulstriker. On the other side, Katana couldn't help but smirk in excitement.

"Gggaaaahhh! Release me, release me! Release me, Shinnosuke!" shouted Yurusen who was still being tied in the bike's back

"Well, if you say so, then I will grant it, Yuru-chan!" said Shinnosuke before grabbing Yurusen from the bike's back. However, before Yurusen could breathe some fresh air after being choked, Shinnosuke soon threw her toward the Yari Gamma.

"Go get 'em, Yuru-chan!" shouted Shinnosuke after throwing Yurusen to the Gamma

"WHY IT ALWAYS MUST BE ME!?" complained Yurusen while flying in the air. She soon hit Yari Gamma's head. But, it didn't hurt him at all, other than being a nuisance for him.

"Ouch! What was that!?" said Yari Gamma while trying to regain his sense back after being hit in the head. Although Yurusen didn't manage to give a single damage toward the Gamma, she managed to stagger him long enough for Shinnosuke to prepare his trick. Not wasting time, Shinnosuke soon raised his bike before doing a wheelie right toward the Yari Gamma.

"What the hell!?" said Yari Gamma surprised

"Take this!" said Shinnosuke before hitting the Gamma with Machine Soulstriker's front wheel. He soon hit the Gamma aside again with the front wheel. Despite the bike's trick was quite hard, Shinnosuke managed to control the bike fairly easy and he managed to land the bike safely. Seeing the nearby Katana Gamma, Shinnosuke soon lifted the bike's back wheel before trying to hit Katana with it. However, Katana managed to parry it easily with his arm blade before pushing the bike aside. Fortunately, Shinnosuke managed to maneuver quickly to land safely with his bike.

"Grrr…. Who are you to interrupt us, huh!? I swear that I will stab every your limbs to pieces!" cursed Yari Gamma to the one who hit him with the bike

"It's me, Matsuda Shinnosuke. The man that you had fought three months ago!" said Shinnosuke while revealing himself and getting down from his bike

"Well, what do we have here? It's been a long time since I met you, Matsuda….." said Katana coldly

"To be honest, I don't clearly remember you two. And it's coincidence here that we met again here. But, now, I warn you that I won't let any of you pass me and hurt my little sister who is resting in the hospital!" warned Shinnosuke

"Well, well, well, I remembered that you're the crying wreck back then. I remembered that you're the one who killed your own little sister, ahahahahaha! What do you want now? Do you want to go to your mommy and cry like a little baby? Muahahahahaha!" laughed Yari sadistically. However, Shinnosuke managed to regain a calm composure, even Katana was surprised to see Shinnosuke's demeanor.

"Well, that time was that time. I know that I have hurt my little sister and I can't change that fact. But, I can't do nothing and let the city and the kingdom that she loves to be wrecked like this! She always loves and supports me even in her state like that. She never shows any sign of hating me. That's why I will keep moving forward while believing myself! Ruby is fighting for her own life and I will fight to protect her and this whole city from your hands! For her sake, for Blake's sake, for Yang's sake and for my own sake; I will trust on myself and control this power!" said Shinnosuke with full of determination. Hearing Shinnosuke's determination, Katana Gamma somewhat took an interest toward the boy and he smirked a bit after hearing that.

"Grrrr…. You jerk….. I will surely make you suffer for disturbing our plan!" said Yari Gamma before rushing toward to attack Shinnosuke

The Gamma son used his yari to stab Shinnosuke. Seeing this, Shinnosuke reflectively dodged all of the Gamma's attack swiftly. He soon grabbed the yari with both of his hands to suspend the Gamma's attacks for several moments. Shinnosuke soon tried to punch the Gamma while still holding the yari with one hand. However, his punches were too weak to give any damage and only stagger the Gamma a bit. When seeing an opening, the Yari Gamma soon kicked Shinnosuke's stomach to stagger him lone enough to release his grip from his weapon. The Gamma soon hit Shinnosuke aside with the blunt side of his yari before punching Shinnosuke's chest, throwing him several meters back. He soon fired more lasers from the tip of his yari toward Shinnosuke. Fortunately, the boy managed to dodge it by rolling in the ground. However, the laser managed to hit his chest and scratch his cheek. Before Shinnosuke could do anything, the Gamma soon rushed toward him again. Shinnosuke tried to retaliate by punching and kicking the Gamma continuously. Unfortunately, all of his attacks were parried so easily. Instead, Yari Gamma tried to slash the boy using his yari but Shinnosuke's instinct worked faster. He crossed his arms to block the slash, but it led his hands were bleeding so much blood from it. It also gave the Gamma another opening to kick him away again. Shinnosuke was soon grounded and he was stomped by Yari Gamma.

"Ck, ck, ck. I must say that kids like you should listen to their mother. Didn't your mother teach you not to play in the outside for too long?" said Yari Gamma while stomping Shinnosuke harder to the point that Shinnosuke coughed blood from his mouth. However, the boy still had the same determined eyes in his face. He wasn't scared at all or got provoked by Yari's words. Even the Gamma was a little bit scared by him.

"Feh! Sorry, but as long as I live, I won't give up so easily, especially for the sake of my friends! After all, don't say anything about mother. I don't have a worthy mother…..or so I thought?" said Shinnosuke with a sarcasm smile

"Well, just keep blabbering when you are already in the Heaven!" said Yari Gamma before thrusting his yari toward the grounded Shinnosuke. Fortunately, Shinnosuke managed to grip the tip of the yari swiftly just before it touched his chest.

"Sorry there, but I don't want to die today!" said Shinnosuke before kicking the Gamma's manhood. Seeing that the Gamma was twitching in pain, Shinnosuke took the chance by getting up from the ground while still holding the yari. He then kicked away the Yari Gamma while disarming his weapon from him. Having a weapon now, Shinnosuke didn't waste the chance and stabbed the Gamma with his own weapon multiple times before slashing away the Gamma. However, before Shinnosuke could attack anymore, the Gamma managed to grab the weapon and snatched it back for himself.

"Look, Ruby! I know that you were always by my side no matter what!" said Shinnosuke while dodging several more attacks from Yari

"But, now, I'm firmly sure that I won't waste my second chance to live! I will shine my dream and live to the brightest! I will fight to the bitter end, for your sake and for the others' sake!" said Shinnosuke while holding again the Yari Gamma's yari just before he could slice him

"I won't be scared by this power anymore! I will believe in myself that I could use it! If you can see me right now…. I'm sure you, Yang and Blake-chan will always support me, right!?" asked Shinnosuke before releasing the grip from the yari

The Yari Gamma soon fired more lasers toward Shinnosuke but the boy managed to perform some swift backflips to dodge it. After the attacks were died down, Shinnosuke then took out the Ore Eyecon from his pocket and the Ghost Driver. He then firmly placed the Ghost Driver to his waist before brandishing and showing his Eyecon toward the Gammas

"Dakara misete kure…. ORE NO HENSHIN!" shouted Shinnosuke before pressing the Ghost Liberator of his Eyecon; showing the Eyecon's Start Up Time

He then pressed the Ghost Driver's Sloan with his free hand, opening the Driver. Shinnosuke then stretched out his arm diagonally downward and he then rotated both of his arms to his right side above his shoulder. He then raised his right arm to the top before lowering his arm slowly. Shinnosuke then placed the Ore Eyecon to the Ghost Driver before reclosing it.

EYE!

Suddenly, the Ore Parka Ghost came out from the Ghost Driver's Glint once again. The Parka Ghost soon hit the Yari Gamma to give Shinnosuke enough time to complete his transformation. The Parka Ghost did a good job to stagger and grounded the Yari Gamma, but Katana managed to shield the Ghost's attacks. The Gamma couldn't help but smirk toward Shinnosuke before laughing sadistically.

"Muahahahahaha, this is it! This is the thrill that I always longed for! Finally, we could have another rematch! What's your name, Kid?" asked the Katana Gamma

"Matsuda….. Shinnosuke." Said Shinnosuke before pulling the Driver's Detonate Trigger

BACHRIMINNA! BACHIRIMINNA!

"You should be honored to be slain by my sword! Let's see who will survive in the end!" said Katana Gamma enthusiastically

"Sorry, there. But, I trust that I'm going to win properly this time!" shouted Shinnosuke determined before pushing the Detonate Trigger

KAIGAN! ORE! LET'S GO! KAKUGO! GO-GO-GO-GHOST! GO! GO! GO! GO!

Soon, Shinnosuke's body is covered with a blue light. After the light cleared, Shinnosuke's body is already covered with the Transient. The Ore Parka Ghost flew around Ghost a little bit before attaching itself to the Transient firmly. The parka attached so nicely on the rider. Soon, the Face Pantheon was materialized in the Rider's face; complete with the Wisp Horn. However, unlike before, there was no ominous aura from Ghost at all. Instead, there were so many bright orange lights coming from Ghost's body. The orange lines in his body and the Face Pantheon were all also shining brightly in orange.

"Well, from now on, I need a cool name for this form…. I know! Since I ride a bike and I'm particularly a soul, I will name myself: 'Soul Rider Ghost'!" proclaimed Ghost to the Gammas

"Name doesn't matter at all!" cursed Yari Gamma. Though, Katana was much better to keep his calm composure and he already readied his stance.

"And now…. My pre-battle's catchphrase that has been waited by the author and the readers! Ore no yume wa shi o choetsu suru!" proclaimed Ghost before summoning the GanGun Saber from the Ghost Driver's Glint. Ghost soon readied his stance.

"Party start!" said Ghost before charging toward the two Gammas

(Play: Color of The Heart – UVERworld)

Ghost soon tried to slash Yari Gamma and their weapons were clashing with each other to the point that there were so many sparks from it. Ghost then kicked the Gamma's stomach, staggering him a little bit. He then soon slashed Yari Gamma several times using his GanGun Saber. When the Gamma tried to slash him, Ghost blocked it with his sword. He then performed some elbow punches to the Gamma, giving him a chance to perform a swift roundhouse kick toward the Gamma's head; throwing him several meters aside. Katana Gamma soon charged in toward Ghost. The two soon clashed with each other using their weapons. Their fight was really intense; no one could deliver a blow and they could only clash with their weapons. Their fighting was like dancing in the battlefield. However, it was shown that Katana had much more experience in the sword battle and he easily could overpower the Rider easily. Soon, Katana managed to disarm the GanGun Saber from Ghost's hand. Seeing an opening, Katana soon slashed Ghost brutally with his swordplay to the point that there were so many sparks flying from the Rider's armor. Katana's swordplay was so fast and swift that his movements couldn't be seen by naked eyes and Ghost was at the Gamma's mercy. Ghost was soon slashed away by the Gamma's slash before rolling to the ground.

"What's the matter, Matsuda? Get up and pick your sword up! You're a worthy opponent for me! Don't disappoint me by losing too easy!" said Katana while pointing his arm blade to the grounded Ghost

"Well, too bad that I still have so many tricks up to my sleeves."

"Well, let's see how your tricks will do!" said Katana before trying to slash down Ghost using his arm blade. However, Ghost managed to roll out at the last second, making the Gamma's arm blade stuck in the ground.

"What!?" gasped Katana in surprise

"Sorry, swordsman, but I never want a fair and square fight. I will use dirty tricks and cheats to win. After all, result is the main point in the battle!" said Ghost before snatching back the GanGun Saber

Not wasting time, Ghost leaped to the air before slashing downward toward the stuck Katana Gamma. He managed to land a swift slash toward the Gamma before delivering several more slashes toward Katana. Ghost then thrust his sword to Katana's chest before jumping and delivering a drop kick to the Gamma; throwing him several meters back. Not wasting time, Ghost charged toward the Gamma again. This time, Katana Gamma managed to get up in time to block the attack before kicking Ghost away. However, the Rider managed to regain his footing before charging again and clashing with Katana again with their swords.

"Don't forget about me!" said Yari Gamma while in the air before trying to stab Ghost while in mid air

Seeing this, Ghost soon pushed Katana away before changing his GanGun Saber to Gun Mode. He soon shot down the incoming Yari Gamma, dropping him to the ground. However, Katana wasn't finished just yet and tried to slash Ghost again. Fortunately, the Rider managed to dodge it swiftly while parrying some slashes using his gun. Seeing an opening, Ghost then shot Katana with some bullets from his gun; staggering him back a bit before kicking him aside. When Yari Gamma tried to attack him, Ghost parried the Gamma's yari's thrust with GanGun Saber Gun Mode before kicking the yari away with a swift kick. He then shot the Gamma several meters back. When the two Gammas had regained their senses and got up, they soon charged toward Ghost at fast speed. Seeing this, Ghost decided to perform a backflip at the last second to dodge their attacks. Because of this, the Gammas were attacked by each others' weapon, staggering them a little bit.

"Hey, Matsuda! Be man and use your sword! Don't use dirty trick like that!" protested Katana

"I already said I like using cheats here. After all, sword is really not my style! I'm a more gunner guy and a cowboy-type character. Why should I use a sword when I'm much better with gun?" said Ghost sarcastically

"Grrrrr…. Take this!" shouted Yari Gamma before firing several lasers toward Ghost

However, the Rider managed to dodge it swiftly by performing several more backflips. Ghost then performed a sideway backflip, dodging another laser from Yari before firing several more bullets to the pair of Gammas. The Gammas were quite staggered by this but they still managed to regain their composure. Katana soon took the initiative by sending a crescent energy slash toward Ghost. But, the Rider used its levitation ability to dodge it. The Gammas soon used all of their ranged attacks toward the Rider but Ghost simply dodged it by floating in the sky. He soon floated toward the Machine Soulstriker before taking a seat on it. Ghost soon revved up his trusty bike once again.

"Time for a bike-fu!" said Ghost before riding Machine Soulstriker and charging toward the Gammas

The Gammas soon threw their projectiles toward the incoming Rider, giving a big explosion from Ghost' behind. Soon, Ghost rammed Yari Gamma using his bike before taking him to a more secluded area in a nearby warehouse. After arriving at an abandoned warehouse, Ghost then rammed the bike at full speed; throwing the Yari Gamma several meters back from his bike. The Gamma then felt to a load of stacks and drums behind him. Before Ghost could take a breath, Katana Gamma leaped in to the warehouse and tried to slash the Rider. However, Ghost foiled him by hitting him with the back wheel, dropping the Gamma to the ground. He then stomped the Gamma with his bike's front wheel before pushing him aside. Before the Gamma could properly get up, he needed to deal with an incoming wheelie from Ghost and his Machine Soulstriker. The Gamma managed to grab the bike's front wheel, but Ghost kept increasing his bike speed; pushing Katana to the wall. When he was cornered, Ghost then rammed him aside using his bike. Yari Gamma soon appeared again before firing more lasers from his yari. Seeing this, Ghost performed some great stunts and tricks using his Machine Soulstriker. He dodged all of the lasers swiftly while maneuvering in the warehouse. The lasers managed to cut some cables, creating sparks in the battlefield, creating a much awesome scene for Ghost. He spun his bike several times in the ground before jumping to the air. Yari Gamma tried to shoot down Ghost, but all of his attacks were missed and only created explosions behind him.

"Yeehaw!" shouted Ghost before falling down and ramming through the Gamma.

Not long after that, Ghost then hit the incoming Katana Gamma again using his back wheel and hit Yari Gamma with the front wheel one. When they tried to attack again, Ghost made the bike to drift in circle. Seeing this, the Gamma hopped backward in order not to get hit by the bike again. But, this made a perfect opening that Ghost had waited. He the shot those two Gammas using his gun while still spinning his bike in circle. The bullets were enough to stagger and push them away a bit.

"Grrr….. You won't be able to use that bike at higher level!" said Yari Gamma before trying to climb the stairs to the second floor which full of narrow corridors and stairs. However, this didn't stop Ghost at all.

"Not so fast! You will bite your mouth again!" said Ghost confidently before climbing the stair while still riding his bike perfectly!

"No way! How can you still use your bike in these narrow paths!?" said Yari Gamma shocked

However, Ghost didn't answer his question and chased around the Gamma to the second floor. The Gamma itself was running for his own life. He tried to use his lasers but it was easily parried and redirected by Ghost's GanGun Saber. When he tried to attack with his yari, Ghost used his bike to disarm him and rammed him; pushing the Gamma several meters back. Before the Gamma could get up, Ghost shot him continuously using his gun. Unfortunately, Katana was already in his back to attack him. However, Ghost already predicted this and moved his bike backward to knock away Katana while shooting him too. The Rider then changed his GanGun Saber to Blade Mode before jumping away from his bike and slashed the Gamma while floating in the air. Ghost's unpredictable actions made Katana Gamma was a bit at disadvantage and he couldn't parry most of his slashes, letting him getting slashed by the Rider. He then kicked the Gamma to propel himself backward so that he could sit back to his bike again. The Rider soon made another wheelie trick toward Yari Gamma who was defenseless. Despite the Gamma managed to grab the bike, he was thrown to the first floor after Ghost rammed him aside from the above.

"Grr…. Go to hell!" said Yari before snatching back his trusty weapon before firing more lasers from his yari toward Ghost. However, Ghost decided to jump from the above; trying to ram the Gamma from above.

"Yeehaw! Party time!" shouted Ghost while jumping down from above with electric sparks were falling down from the ceiling; giving an astonishing scene once again

Ghost soon rammed the Gamma again using his Machine Soulstriker. Having enough riding his bike, Ghost soon leaped from his seat before delivering a jumping heel kick to Yari Gamma's head; grounding the Gamma. Before his enemy could get up properly, Ghost forcefully grabbed him up before delivering several punches. The punches were strong enough to stagger the Gamma long enough for him to deliver more punches to him. The Rider kept punching Yari Gamma until he was knocked out of the warehouse. Soon, the Katana Gamma appeared once again before charging toward the Rider again. Ghost then dodged all of the Gamma's slash attack using his great flexibility. When he saw an opening, Ghost delivered several palm-punch attacks to the Katana Gamma's body continuously. He then performed a three consecutive jumping roundhouse kicks to Katana's head. With the Gamma was being dizzied, Ghost used this chance to grab the Gamma's arm and arm blade before spinning together at a very fast speed. After several spins, Ghost then released his hands; throwing away the Katana Gamma to unknown.

"Man, that was sure quite made me dizzy…." Said Ghost while trying to shrug off his dizziness

(Song ended)

However, Ghost soon saw the incoming Yari Gamma who was trying to thrust him using his weapon again. This time, Ghost was more prepared than before and he dodged all of his thrusts easily. The Rider soon grabbed the yari really tight, before using his free hand to punch and giving a chop to the Gamma's body. He then gave several knee kicks toward the Gamma before snatching the yari from him. Ghost then used his improvised weapon to slash the Gamma several times, ending with a critical diagonal slash that gave spark to the Gamma. The Rider soon threw away the yari away and giving some provocations to let the Gamma punched him. Yari Gamma soon charged in again before trying to deliver more punches, but Ghost managed to punch faster than him. The Rider wasted no time to give more punches to his enemy. Even he grabbed the Yari Gamma's yari decoration in his head before giving several beatings continuously to the Gamma's face, to the point that the Gamma now bled black blood from his face. Ghost then ended it with a very hard punch to the Gamma's face again, this time throwing Yari several meters back.

After punching the Gamma, the Rider soon took a deep breath before regaining his composure. He then took several steps backwards. Not because he was scared, but he seemed tried to measure a great distance for something. Ghost then made a pose where his left hand was rested in his belt while his right palm was pointing at the Gamma. Not long after that, Yari Gamma soon got up but this is the moment that the Rider had waited. Ghost then spread his arms while pulling the Detonate Trigger, closing the Ghost Driver's Glint. This time, an orange Eye of Providence was soon materialized in Ghost's behind. The Eye produced some orange lines that ended in Ghost's foot, providing them with energy. After finished charging energy to his foot, Ghost then pushed back the Detonate Trigger, opening the Glint again and showing the Ore Eyecon's Move Invocation Time: A kick fueled with energy.

Soon, the two opposing sides soon ran and charged toward each other. Each time Ghost took a step while running, he felt that his foot were hotter and hotter than before and he felt more energies in it. After a few meters of running and predicting the perfect distance, Ghost then leaped high to the air. He then performed a somersault while in the air before brandishing his foot fueled in energy in a kick style.

DAI KAIGAN! ORE OMEGA DRIVE!

"HUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIAAAAAAAAA!" shouted Ghost before delivering a strong flying kick to the Yari Gamma's head

The force of the kick was strong enough to break the yari decoration in his head and pushing him back several meters. The Gamma even skidded in the ground before finally stopping moving. Ghost himself managed to land safely in the ground while crouching a bit. Yari Gamma soon tried to get up but his body was already covered in orange sparks and he was having a hard time to even properly stand up.

"You… You will regret it….. Beating the Gamma means that you're a Gamma itself! You're no longer a human! After all, this isn't the last of our Kingdoms! We will surely rejoice back!" shouted Yari Gamma in his dying breath

Ghost soon got up from his place before opening the Ghost Driver again. He then took out his Ore Eyecon from the inside before reclosing it again. Ghost then soon transformed back to Shinnosuke.

OYASUMI!

"I know that I can no longer be totally a human back. But, my friend told me that if I dare to believe it, then there's nothing impossible! Ore wa shinjiteru! ORE WA NINGEN!" proclaimed Shinnosuke

"Don't be happy right now… Soon, all of the people that you love will son perish together by us, the Gamma! This world of Remnant will soon be destroyed! Huahahahahahaha!"

"Tell them that I will always be ready for them. And make sure they crave the name 'Matsuda Shinnosuke' in their brain! Ciao!" said Shinnosuke before turning back while holding his trusty hat

"BANZAI!" shouted Yari Gamma before exploding in a bright explosion while Shinnosuke as walking away from him

On the other side, Katana Gamma, who was already recovered after being thrown by Ghost, soon headed to the scene. There, he could only watch his brother was killed in the explosion. He also saw the remnants of Yari Gamma which were a broken yari and also a Gamma Eyecon with the latter was soon exploded too. Seeing this, Katana could only crackle his mouth.

"Tch! Matsuda, huh? That boy is sure interesting. But, the next time we meet, I will definitely going to destroy you." Said Katana coldly before taking his leave

Unbeknownst by even Katana and Shinnosuke, there was a man around Shinnosuke's age who was at top of building. He was watching the whole scenes of battle between Ghost and the Gammas. The man has a bit messy gray hair with a bit of blonde part at the edge of his hair. He was also wearing a whole gray robe in his body. However, he didn't show a very happy expression and instead, he showed a very grumpy one. He then saw Shinnosuke took his leave to the hospital while riding his Machine Soulstriker.

"Why does that boy have those things? I must report this to Aniue as soon as possible." Said the man before leaving in the shadows

~RWBYS~

Currently, Shinnosuke was standing in front of Ruby's ward. However, he still didn't dare to open the door just yet. Deep in his heart, Shinnosuke was still scared if Ruby still hadn't woken up yet. Seeing Ruby's unmoving body and flat face for 3 months was already enough and he couldn't take it anymore. When he saw the cheerful Ruby was rendered to a flat-face girl, he couldn't help but felt that his heart was crumbling to bits. Fortunately, the meeting with Blake earlier somewhat gave enough spirit for him. As just as she said, he needed to believe in and trust himself that Ruby will get better. Even if it would days, weeks, months, years or decades for Ruby to open her eyes again, Shinnosuke would still take care of her for the remaining of his life. And he also wouldn't feel lonely again since Shinnosuke believed that Ruby will always be at his side to support him. With a courageous sigh, Shinnosuke soon turned the knob before entering the ward.

"I'm coming…." Greeted Shinnosuke while opening the door, only to be shocked to see what was in front of him

There, Shinnosuke could see that Ruby was sitting at his bed while eating the chocolate chip cookies that Shinnosuke brought before. Not only that, Ruby was even drinking the milk and pouring some of it to her cookies. She could be seen smiling while eating all of those cookies. Seeing this, Shinnosuke seemed to be petrified with his vision and he couldn't even spit a single word from his mouth. He could only go agape with what he saw. Shinnosuke felt that this was a dream but he knew that it was too real for a dream. Soon, Ruby noticed her brother was standing in the door.

"Oh! Onii-chan, how are you doing!?" greeted Ruby cheerfully with a very big smile

"Ruby… This is you, right?" stammered Shinnosuke

"What are you talking about, Onii-chan? This is your cute little sister, right? And why do you stand there? Come here."

"I'm not dreaming, right, Ruby….? This is truly you… You had woken up, right….?" Stammered Shinnosuke while approaching Ruby slowly

"Um! My body is quite stiff with the long sleep. I didn't expect that I would sleep so long like that. You know, it's quite boring to only see pitch black with so many boring dreams, right, Onii-chan?" said Ruby while stretching her arms

"So, that means… You already wake up, right? You already come back, right?" said Shinnosuke with his body quivering so much

"Of course, I'm back to healthy, Onii-chan!" said Ruby while making a peace sign and a bright smile in her face. Seeing this, Shinnosuke couldn't hold his tears.

"RUUUUUUUUUUUBBBBBBYYYYYYYY!" cried Shinnosuke before hugging Ruby really tight

"Thank goodness! Thank goodness! Thank goodness! I'm so relieved that my dearest and cutest little sister has returned! Huhuhuhuhu….. I'm so happy that I can't hold these tears anymore….. Huhuhuhuhu….. I love you, Ruby. I really really really really really love you, Ruby! I love you to the deep of my heart!" said Shinnosuke while hugging Ruby even tighter than before

"Ack! I love…you too…Onii-chan…. But, please…let go of…me… I can't….breathe…." said Ruby while struggling to inhale more oxygen. However, Shinnosuke didn't want to release the hug at all and instead increasing his force.

"Sorry…. But, after a long time like this…. I don't want to be separated again by my little sister and I will hug you until I'm tired!" declared Shinnosuke while patting Ruby's head

After several sweet moments between the sibling and the relief and happiness were died down a bit, Shinnosuke soon started talking about a bit serious problem with Ruby who was still eating her cookies.

"Um… Ruby…. I have one request….." said Shinnosuke

"Nu? What is it, Onii-chan?" asked Ruby curiously

"I might be won't live with you again. I will send you to live with Uncle Taiyang and Yang so that you don't have to live with me anymore….."

"WHAT!? What are you talking about, Onii-chan!? You know that Onii-chan is everything for me and I couldn't live without you at my side! Please, don't leave me, Onii-chan…huhuhuhu…." Pleaded Ruby while crying a bit

"I don't want it either! But, after the incident last time…. I'm afraid that if you're still with me, you will get injured again and this time…. You will be a goner for good….." said Shinnosuke while turning away from Ruby and quivering

"But, Onii-chan….."

"Ruby… I managed to control this power….. But, the next time, I might won't be able to control it again….. And if that happens, I don't know what I could do to you…. Ruby….. You're my everything…. You're the most important person for me… And if you are getting hurt again because of me and you will die because of me too… Huhuhu… I don't know if I still could live again….." said Shinnosuke while trying to hold his tears. However, he was surprised to see that Ruby was hugging him from behind.

"Onii-chan…. You shouldn't be scared….. I will always by at your side…. I know that you're scared that you might going to hurt me again. But, look at me, I'm already healthy again and there were no over casualties here, right? So, what should you be scared of? Even if Onii-chan's hands were full of my blood, I don't hate Onii-chan at all. I still love you as ever. To me, it's not the death itself that was scary to me… It was the thought that I won't see Onii-chan again or Onii-chan isn't at my side that made me so scared… That's why, please don't leave me, Onii-chan… " pleaded Ruby while sobbing a bit. Hearing Ruby's words, Shinnosuke's heart was touched again and he soon turned to face Ruby again. Shinnosuke soon hugged back his little sister while letting his tears fell.

"Ah! I understand, Ruby….. Don't worry, Onii-chan won't leave you ever again….. Let's face this together…." Said Shinnosuke while patting Ruby's head

Unbeknownst by them, Blake was in front of the door. She peeked at the two before slowly and silently closed the door. She then made a deep sigh while leaning toward the door. She then looked at the ceiling while making a smile.

"What am I thinking? I should not interact too much with other people…. I should be more antisocial than this… After all, I'm forbid to get close with anyone for their own safety… But, I can't help but feel so much happy and relieved to see Matsuda-kun happy…. I don't know but I feel that meeting Matsuda-kun made me feel so warm in the chest…" said Blake while touching her chest

"If only I had met you earlier, Matsuda-kun… Maybe my fate wouldn't have been so painful like this…. But, I'm sorry, Matsuda-kun….. I hope we won't meet again….. You're the one who treats me as friend, as a human, as who I'm not what I'm….. However, I don't want you to get involved with my problem, especially when it comes to "him"…" said Blake before taking her leave. When she was about to leave the hospital, she met a blonde girl with a long messy hair.

"Hey, you!" pointed the blonde girl

"Me?" asked Blake while pointing at herself

"Yes, do you happen to know where I could find room 205 at the second floor?" asked the girl

"Well, just reach the end of this corridor, climb the stairs to the second floor. After that, turn to the left and just walk through the corridor. You will find it at the 2 second room before an intersection." Said Blake

"Okay, thanks!" said the blonde girl before taking her leave. Blake soon returned to her objective and soon left the hospital silently.

Meanwhile, Shinnosuke and Ruby were having a very sweet time and moment as a sibling.

"Onii-chan… Do you really love me?" asked Ruby

"Of course! There's no need to ask it again. I love my little sister so much!" said Shinnosuke

To his surprise, Ruby closed her eyes slowly before moving forward to his face. Seeing this, Shinnosuke couldn't help but to lean his face toward Ruby's. Soon, both of their lips were touching softly. They kept kissing each other for several seconds like that. However, the longer it took, the more intense their kiss became. Shinnosuke wildly pecked Ruby's lip continuously and he even used his tongue to give permission for his little sister to open her mouth. Ruby, in return, opened her mouth and let her brother savaged the taste of her mouth. Ruby also used her tongue to taste Shinnosuke's own mouth and tongue. They felt each other mouths' were so wet and warm to the point that they felt that they were in paradise. Shinnosuke and Ruby felt that their rationality senses were fading bit by bit. Not only that, Shinnosuke slowly pushed Ruby back to the bed.

"Oh…. Onii-chan…." Moaned Ruby

"Ruby…." Moaned Shinnosuke

"Oh, Ruby, my baby sister, why happened to you!? I heard from Shinnosuke that there's something happen to…." Said the blonde girl from before, who was revealed to be Yang. She soon opened the door bluntly.

"O….." said Yang with a very hardened and black face on her after seeing the scene between Shinnosuke and Ruby. The sibling soon yelped in surprise and quickly broke their kiss. They soon were acting as if nothing had happened.

"Oh… Just as I thought that something happened to my baby sister….. And then….. I found this scene….." said Yang coldly with her purple lilac eyes soon turned into red eyes

"No! No, it's not like what you thought, Yang-nee!" reasoned Ruby

"Nope! Don't say anymore, Ruby! You're not wrong in this case at all! This is because of that dirty pervert!" said Yang while pointing at Shinnosuke

"What!? Come on, Yang, please don't act like that. We're already like a sibling, right, haha? After all, I just want to give some affections to my little sister. It's not like what you think." Reasoned Shinnosuke

"WHAT!? You want to say that nothing happened when you called me and told me about Ruby. But, in reality, you want to grope every inches of my baby sister's body and try to steal her virginity! Man, you're worse than I thought, Kid!" said Yang angrily while crackling her fists

"Wait, wait, wait, Yang, please, don't break my leg! Please! This isn't like what you think, Yang! Please, no!" pleaded Shinnosuke

"Yeah, please, Yang-nee. It's not Onii-chan's fault at all!" pleaded Ruby

"Sorry, Ruby… But, this time I won't break his leg…" said Yang. Hearing this, the Matsuda sibling was a bit happy and more relieved to hear that. However, they heard that Yang was preparing his knuckles while stretching her neck.

"I won't break his leg…. But, I will break his face!" said Yang before punching the screen

Several times later…..

"Ruby would have been out from the hospital earlier if only that I didn't need an extra treatment for my swollen face and head…. Goodness that she didn't kill me…" confided Shinnosuke while showing his bandaged head and plastered cheek. Even Shinnosuke felt that he lost a tooth or two because of that misunderstanding incident.

"Oh, Ruby….. Are you sure you still want to be with that pervert monster?" said Yang to Ruby

"Hey, I'm not a pervert, Bitch! It's just a misunderstanding!" complained Shinnosuke. Though, no one listen to him at all.

"Um! Don't worry, Yang-nee. I'm fine with Onii-chan. Thank you for trying to give me an accommodation, but I'm much better with Onii-chan. He's my precious brother that I could wish for. It would be so lonely without him. I love him so much."

"Oh, Ruby… I know your feelings….. Too bad that your brother is actually more hideous than you expect… Just be careful at night. He might try to sneak to your bed and grope your body." Said Yang while hugging Ruby really tight, with a growling Shinnosuke in the background

"Yeah, I know, Yang-nee. Well, bye for now. We need to go somewhere since Onii-chan will be so busy later."

"Okay, take care of yourself, Ruby! Don't forget to call Onee-chan when you need me, okay!?" said Yang before taking her leave with her trusty futuristic bike

"And don't dare to do anything pervert to my baby sister! Remember that, Kid!" shouted Yang from afar while leaving them

"I know that, Bitch! Just get away from my sight! Ruby is my sister, not yours!" cursed Shinnosuke

"Well, Onii-chan, where should we go now?" asked Ruby

"Honestly, I don't know, but Alice-san said that I need to collect 15 Luminaries Eyecons to revive myself back to normal. I'm not sure where we will go and I'm sure it won't be a nice trip. Even, it will be a dangerous one." Said Shinnosuke before riding his Machine Soulstriker and giving a helmet to Ruby

"Don't worry, Onii-chan, whenever we will go, as long as Onii-chan is still with me… I'm going to be fine." Said Ruby with a smile before wearing her helmet

"That's my little sister!" said Shinnosuke while hugging Ruby really tight. Not long after that, Ruby soon took a seat behind Shinnosuke and the boy himself soon released his hat and wore his helmet. His trusty hat was put in the lizard-like head decoration in the Machine Soulstriker. Shinnosuke soon revved up his bike's engine.

"Well, let's go, Onii-chan!" shouted Ruby in excitement

"Yeah, let's go, Ruby!" shouted Shinnosuke before they started riding the Machine Soulstriker. While on their way, Ruby could be seen sleeping and leaning to Shinnosuke's back. Her hands were also wrapping really tight in Shinnosuke's waist. Realizing this, Shinnosuke spent a moment to pat and rub Ruby's hands in his waist.

'I don't know what we will face later….. But for now, Ruby… I'm really grateful...' thought Shinnosuke before riding the Machine Soulstriker through the sunset

White flash soon covered the screen. Now the screen shows an orange screen with Ghost's Eye of Providence in the center. The screen also shows Shinnosuke's Eyecon collections:

Shinnosuke's Eyecon (2): Ore, Sanzo

The Eyecons soon changed their Start Up Time setting to their Transformation Time, showing the Face of the Eyecons.

(Mawari michi shinagara)

(Yume ni tachi-agare)

Ghost performed several great bike stunts in the warehouse, either in the first floor or the second floor.

Ghost performed somersault in the air before delivering a powerful kick toward Yari Gamma. Shinnosuke then walked away as Yari Gamma exploded.

(Mugen no chikara yobisamase)

Shinnosuke hugged the woken up Ruby. They then kissed each other deeply.

(Song ended)

~RWBYS~

"NEXT TIME ON KAMEN RIDER GHOST!"shouted Yurusen

"Wow! So, this is the Beacon Academy!?" said Shinnosuke and Ruby in unison in amazement

"Hey, Ojou-chan, what's your name?" asked Shinnosuke nicely toward a white haired girl who is Weiss

"Just go away, you freak! Mind you own business!" said Weiss coldly to Shinnosuke before turning away

Soon, Shinnosuke, Ruby, Yang and Blake were sipping coffees in Carlos' Bakery and Coffee. The owner is Carlos who is a bald man around his late 40s.

"Well, I really hope my daughter will still be here to inherit my shop. She really loves cakes and breads." Said Carlos

"There has been so many mysterious murders around the Vale." Said Blake

The scene soon shifted to show a man well-dressed in black suit.

"The beginning of the end is coming near. Hahaha…. The Grimm has evolved!" said the man while brandishing his sword

"Shinnosuke?" said a boy, one year older than Shinnosuke

"Are you perhaps, Makoto-kun?" asked Shinnosuke

"Just fuck you off from my sight!" cursed Takeru when Shinnosuke was trying to help him

The scene then showed than a humanoid lion Grimm was terrorizing the unfortunate people who were wandering in the city in the night. Weiss was crawling backward with the Grimm was slowly approaching her.

"HELP ME!" scream Weiss in terror

"Don't worry, Weiss-ojouchan! I'm here to save you!" said Ghost while slashing the humanoid Grimm

However, the Grimm used his chain in his hand to choke Ghost's neck.

"Ore no yume wa shi o choetsu suru." Declared Ghost

Shinnosuke and Weiss were drinking coffees at Carlos' place in the midnight.

"Ack! It's hot….." said the two in unison

~RWBYS~

Well, hello, there guys! It's me Takasugi again, or you would prefer Bakasugi. Anyway, that aside, sorry for the long update. But, here's a premium long chapter worth to exchange the time when I didn't write this story and update it . So, how is this chapter? What will happen to Shinnosuke later? And seems like all the crucial casts of Ghost has appeared, huh? Anyway, for those who were wondering, Ghost's pre-battle catchphrase literally means: "My dream transcends over death." Like that. Oh yeah, I changed several voice actors for the RWBY casts here. I don't really think about the America's one, but if I did, I will only change some. Same like the Japanese one, I only change Team RWBY and give some voice actors for the Ghost's casts here, particularly Shinnosuke in here. Anyway, there will be tons of change in Season 1, particularly after the next chapter. Since, my fic will primarily focus on Shinnosuke, his pairings and some other Ghost's casts. As I said, the upgrades for the Riders will be equal, especially for the distribution of Luminaries Eyecons. Shinnosuke will definitely get more upgrades, but the other surely won't be so left in the dust. That's all I could say for now. I can't say anything too much because the chapter itself was already so long like this, as not making the readers bored. Thank you for your attention, readers. Don't forget R&R. Next time, it's time for my Faiz fic's turn. See you for more true dragon's roar.
