"What the hell are you thinking?" Fay shouts.
He punch Suzuki at the face and for Ryoma that watch the scene feel afraid and cry, Fay punch Suzuki once again but was stop as Suzuki use his illusion to blind Fay eyes and punch him back.
"What's wrong for me to use my power?"
Fay blocks Suzuki kick thanks to his instinct.
"Are you disobeying my order?"
Fay uses his head and knocks it on Suzuki.
Ryoma cry louder catch both of their attention and face direct to Ryoma both feel guilty to make the boy cry. Fay doesn't know what to say since Ryoma just saw his fierce face.
"I hate you both!" Ryoma shouts.
"Ryo chan . . . I'm sorry."
Suzuki forgot to blind Ryoma eyes too, if he did Ryoma won't see what just happen just now. He feels so stupid now.
"Ryoma I'm sorry."
"Shut up!" Ryoma shout again. "BOTH OF YOU!"
James keep drinking ignoring the commotion upstairs doesn't bother to know what happen but after hearing Ryoma shouts he smirk. Maybe Ryoma finally hate Fay just for once, just once their relationships loosen. Maybe this is a good thing to have a fight between siblings.
He throws the beer inside the litter box and the cat (Fay pet) ran away scare of the sound of the shards scattering on the ground.
"I need a life." He says.
"UWAH!" Ryoma cry even louder before.
Fay tries to calm the boy while Suzuki ran out; all he wants is to make Ryoma happy. Is not his fault and now because of this everyone doesn't know what to do anymore and one day Ryoma might actually get hurt because of him and Suzuki doesn't want that to happen. Maybe… just maybe that sending Ryoma to another might help them all.
Maybe . . .
James watch as Suzuki ran out from the house and sigh.
"He also needs a life."
Then Ryoma also ran down and hug James and began complaining about those two, James pat the boy head and smirk as he see Fay walk toward the direction Suzuki ran too, knowing that Fay glance toward them for a second just now.
"JAMES!" Ryoma keep crying.
"It's okay, big brother is here." James kiss Ryoma forehead.
He wonder how many years it has been since he was lock in that cage with the others and then hear rumor that number 07 (Ryoma) join in but the shocking thing is that the experiment is the youngest and hasn't even reach 10 years old yet, why did the scientist bring him in so young, what is the reason? Why did all of them care for Ryoma when they meet him?
Is this a test? Why can Fay control his emotion better when he is around Ryoma?
James keep wondering without realizing that Ryoma has fallen asleep on his laps, since he is quite flexible even his lap feel like a pillow and quite relaxing.
"What will happen to this house once Ryoma is not here anymore? Will Suzuki stay and Fay go back to his usual self?"
.
.
Nanjiro pat his wife back but she didn't look back and keep staring outside the window, her eyes that use to fill with life is not there anymore and everyone that is close to her is affected by this sadness especially her husband.
"I will see our future son so please wait a little longer."
Nanjiro left her in the care of the nurse, right now he will see this boy whether this boy qualify to be his son or not. Hopefully he is.
.
.
"Suzuki I want you to go back home!" Fay shouts and Suzuki stop running.
"Why do you want to chase me out so much?" Suzuki asks. "What's wrong to still living with you all, I miss my old home."
"Suzuki this is for your sake I want you to live a normal life and be happy. That's all I asks so please . . . do this for Ryoma too."
Suzuki just tightens his fist.
"The problem is I'm not normal you dumbass!"
They both look at each other with cruel and sad eyes both don't want to give up but they both know each other true feelings. They don't want to be separated but this is for the best since there's not much time. Time is running out every second and soon it will too late.
.
.
"Ready Ryoma." James smile and Ryma just nod griping his brother hand.
James sigh as he remember that Fay says he want to stay at home, it's quite weird since few days ago Fay is the one that want to see Ryoma off. Maybe the fight the other day is too big and someone like Fay is guilty about it. Since Suzuki has gone back to his foster parents he is the only one left to go with the boy and it's not like he hate it is just that he will soon be apart from his adorable little brother.
He will miss Ryoma but since he can't disobey his parents order there's nothing he can do to stop this. Hopefully the boy won't forget about him.
"Remember this Ryoma, just walk in that restaurant and once you see the man who I show you last time sit in front of him and start a converstaion. If anything goes wrong I will be outside."
"Promise?"
"Promise." James quickly replies and does a pinky swear with the boy. "Good luck."
Ryoma look back at James and walk inside, he is quite nervous to see this stranger that will soon be his foster parents and hopefully he is a nice guy and not a mafia. He walks inside the restaurant, the waitress smile at the boy as soon she caught sight of him.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" She asks.
"I'm meeting an old man." Ryoma reply and walk pass her.
The waitress seems shock a little to her the tone of that boy as if he was angry but decides to ignore it and continue with her work. Ryoma see the pineapple hair and know right away that is the right person and ran toward the table and sit in front of that man.
It seems that man has already order ice cream sundae for him but decide not to eat it first and look toward his future parents and look around if his foster-mother is there too but she's not here.
"S you are Ryoma?" The man asks.
"And you must be Nanjiro Echizen the samurai and is quite popular in the world of tennis and well-known to be among the youngest that retire first." Ryoma spoke back.
Nanjiro seem amaze of the boy, the way he spoke and act seems mature than normal kids. Also the boy drink tea in such a young age and the way he eats and talks as if he's from a great family.
"Do you want to be my son?"
Ryoma put down the teacup and look at the man eyes.
"No."
"Then why are you here,"
"I do this because this is an order from my brother to become your son."
"What if I don't accept you?"
Ryoma stay silent for a while and smile. "Then I will have to force you to like me."
The way that Ryoma spoke is quite interesting catching Nanjiro attention and of course this has attract the waitress attention too, as if there's attractive about that boy, Ryoma smirk knowing that his charm is working and he has practice this with Suzuki tons of times when talking to people so he can't mess up, this s also for Fay sake.
Seeing as the man react he know that this is working and smirk.
"You have a talent, are you interest in tennis."
"I do, I play tennis a few times with my brother Fay. We always play together in weekend but sometimes I play with other kids I meet at the street."
Nanjiro look out to see the young blond man leaning against the wall smoking some cigarette, glancing a few times inside the restaurant. It was quite suspicious seeing someone like that keep staring and once Ryoma look outside and shook his head the blond get inside the car like a good boy.
"Is he your brother?" The man ask wondering if that blond man is Fay that Ryoma keep talking about.
"Yes, he is my brother James." Ryoma introduce and smile sweetly but because of that Nanjiro can tell immediately that smile is fake since he has sharp eyes.
"You don't have to smile if you don't want too."
"I can say the same to you too."
Nanjiro is getting impress, it seems that the boy has the same sharp eyes as he has, this is quite interesting and Rinko must be thinking the same thing. Maybe just maybe that this boy can heal Rinko heart, maybe just maybe he has that power to cure people hearts.
"Please meet my wife; I'm sure she will be happy to see you."
"You mean my future mother."
Nanjio can't help but laugh, this boy is so interesting.
