Chapter six:
"It's getting late. You should go home and get some rest." The officer says to Hikaru.
"I can't!" Hikaru protests. "I want to know if this is my brother or someone!"
The officer sighs softly. "Listen. If it does turn out to be your brother you will know by tomorrow." He explains. "So go home right now. Get some rest."
Hikaru stares at the officer for a few moments before speaking. "I will go if you promise to tell me if it is or isn't Kaoru."
"Ok." The officer nods.
"Alright. I'll see you tomorrow." Hikaru hesitantly turns and leaves the scene heading off to get back to the mansion. He looks around himself as he walks along and he can't help but get a little teary eyed when he looks to happy people hanging with each other. He quickly turns away from them as he continues to walk. "I'm supposed to be the perfect heir. To be as tough as a diamond. But if I am meant to be a diamond then why do I feel like I could shatter right now?" He sighs to himself. "Oh please be ok Kaoru…. My dear brother." He lowers his head and closes his eyes for a few moments to allow a tear to fall down his face.
When he returns to the mansion he still has his head lowered and he heads straight to the room that belongs to him and Kaoru in hopes of getting some rest to wake up tomorrow so he can hear who the blood belongs to.
He curls up on his bed and closes his eyes. "Little brother….. Please….. I miss you….. Come back to me." He pleads a little quietly to himself. "Don't leave me alone." He curls up a little more. "Please…."
….. And he remained until the next day…..
A knock comes to the door and a maid opens the door only to find a cop standing there.
"I have something I have come to report." The cop tells the maid.
"Of course come in." The maid lets him in and leads the cop to the living room only to leave to get the twins parents.
"What is this about?" The twins father asks as him and his wife settle in the living room with the cop.
"The blood we found on the tree has gone through tests." The cop begins. "The results came back so I came here to deliver the news on whether it's your son's blood or not."
"Is it?" The twins mother questions.
The cop closes his eyes for a moment then opens his eyes halfway. "I'm afraid so."
There is a horrified gasp that makes the three in the living room turn surprised to Hikaru who was leaning around a wall listening in.
"Hikaru." The twins father begins as they all realize he's heard everything.
Hikaru takes a step or two back and tears begin to form in his eyes. "No…. You're lying!"
The cop gets to his feet. "I wish I was lying for your sake but I cannot lie about something like this." He says and turns to face Hikaru. "For that I am sorry. There was no body found so we can safely assume he burnt it into the ashes we found at the scene."
Hikaru doesn't care that he's starting to cry as tears fall down his face. He turns and runs off crying heavily.
The three can only watch him go in worry.
Hikaru bursts into his and Kaoru's room only to throw himself on the bed burying his face into his crossed arms sobbing as his tears fall like waterfalls.
….
The twins father gets up and goes over to the cop. "Thank you for coming to let us know about this." He says.
"I'm sorry that I came with bad news." The cop says turning to the other male.
The twins father only nods his head slightly.
"I need to go. We have a murder case on our hands. I will keep you updated when I can." The cop says then he heads out to head off on his way to get back to the station.
The twins mother comes over to her husband. "I'm worried about Hikaru." She says a little softly.
"Once Hikaru gets past this then there won't be anything left to hold him back or possibly taint him to cause him to not be the heir we need him to be." The twins father says turning to his wife. He puts an arm around her shoulders and pulls her close. "Hikaru is a strong boy. We just need to have faith that he can get through this."
The twins mother nods. "Yeah. You're right." She leans against her husband closing her eyes. "But you know…. Kaoru was still our son…."
"Don't you worry about Kaoru now." The twins father says. "We should focus on Hikaru."
"You are right once again." The twins mother says in agreement. "Hikaru is our families heir and Kaoru is gone. So yes. We need to focus on Hikaru fully now."
The twins father nods content with that answer.
…
It became agreed that the two trees where the blood and ashes were found would be used to mark Kaoru's grave which is put right between the two trees.
The trees both got special engraved metal plates to inform people about the grave where the dusted for fingerprints bottle of ashes are buried.
…..
Hikaru has stayed in his bedroom for quite a while.
The parents had agreed to give him at least a little time to himself first before doing anything.
Hikaru had run out of tears to cry a bit ago and he is now laying on his bed staring blankly at a wall lost in his own mind…. Unfortunately the damage of hearing about his brother's obvious murder was more than anyone thought. He blinks as if finally coming back to reality after hours of staring at a wall….. his lips twitch wanting to move upwards into a smirk or a smile.
Low chuckles begin bubbling within his chest and his eyes began to shake a little as the laughter began to bubble it's way out into the open.
Finally he breaks out into crazy laughter on his bed rolling himself onto his back to stare at the ceiling with his limbs splayed out.
His mother had come to check on him but is standing outside of Hikaru's room and gasps in fear when she hears his laughter. She ran terrified to the phone and called the only person she could think of to try to get help.
A therapist who is widely known within the rich community and he answered right away to the mothers relief. He was ready to take time to listen to the mothers worries as well as what she knows of the situation.
"What can you do to help my son?" The mother asks.
"He is obviously not in his right mind right now." The therapist says. "I've seen many cases of people reacting like this to a loved ones death. Unfortunately there isn't much regular therapy sessions can do about these kinds of cases." He continues. "If this is left alone it will not end well. Your only hope is to get him to go to a mental hospital. His mind should be vulnerable enough currently to get him to go without a problem. It is the best chance to helping him."
"Ok." The mother says. "I'm ready to do whatever will bring my son back to normal."
"Great. There's a very successful mental hospital that has helped cure the worst cases I have ever seen. I will send a message and you need to bring him to the address I will be giving you." The therapist responds.
"Thank you." The mother says.
"It's no problem."
The mother is given the address then hangs up and she heads to find her husband first.
The father turns to his wife as she approaches him. "Yuzuha my dear what's troubling you?"
"There is a situation I need to inform you of." She responds to her husband.
Her husband tilts his head in question.
