Summary: An insight on the meaning of shadows.
A/N: Still semi-sick, fifth day of class tomorrow and I hate it already. And I hate genetics homework. Really, how many times can Mendel breed pea plants?
Sasagawa Ryohei
He never meant to. He loved his sister, her adorable innocent smile, her carefree nature in life. It was because of her that he decided to join the boxing club. After a slight skirmish the siblings encountered in elementary school, he had sworn to never let her get hurt again. But instead, what he had done, was shielded her from the dangers of the outside world. He didn't know, but he had prevented her from growing up, maturing, always to rely on him, her older brother.
He was the sun, and she, who could not linger far from him, had become his shadow.

She was useless to him; a weak girl who could not survive without his illusions. To him, she was probably nothing more than a parasite that leeched on. Instead of focusing on breaking out of prison, he wasted his energy keeping her alive. He had given her everything she ever wanted: companions, and a chance of living. For that, she was grateful, happily allowing him to claim her body for a moment of freedom.
Even if she denies it, she was relieved to have a sanctuary in the shadow of her savior.

Dino Cavallone
He had taken care of him since birth. Chasing him down the streets of Italy, clad only in a bathrobe, pulled on a moment's alert to retrieve his young rebellious boss. Wherever the boss went, he would follow. He would willingly take a bullet for the young man he'd seen grow up, mature and come to love as a son. He was there for him when his father died, when members of the family were killed and when he got his first heartbreak. He had seen countless shedding of blood and tears, and even the times his boss had not allowed himself to cry.
And through those times and more, he will be there for his boss, because Romario was not only the boss' right-hand man, but his guardian and his shadow.

A/N: I might extend this more someday. This analytical piece with a characters connection to a shadow was interesting. Hope you enjoyed it!
