Understanding the
past to fight for
the present
Sighing a small boy about twelve wrinkled his nose as he gazed around the crowded room, he was bored and didn't understand why he had to come to these type of parties they were boring and all the other kids were always mean to him. Crossing his arms, the boy glanced towards an older boy sitting beside him. "Ryu, come play with me!" He whispered, eyes pleading. "The other kids never want to play with me."
Turning to face the smaller boy, the nineteen year-old smiled, the adoration and love he felt for the other was evident within his eyes. Reaching over, the older of the two ruffled the younger ones emerald green tinted raven black hair affectionately, "You know I would Ryo, but you know we aren't allowed to play like the other kids, the witch will have a huge cow if she finds out."
The small boy pouted a bit. Large cat-like eyes stared into almond shaped light green eyes. "I know but it's so boring aniki." the younger frowned, "Can't we play for a little while? We'll be back inside before the announcement for dinner." Seeing the adorable expression on his younger brothers face, the teen shook his head and stood up, a hand running through his black curly locks. He knew he shouldn't but with his brother practically begging, how could he refuse.
"Alright, but just for a while. We don't want Catherine to know we left the party or she'll be very upset." Ryo nodded his head and jumped out of his chair, grasping his older brothers hand, a wide smile adorning his face, "Let's go out to the gardens then." Nodding his head in excitement, Ryoma grasped his brothers hand and led him towards the garden while Ryu allowed his younger brother to pull him.
Gleaming red eyes watched as they left before turning to look at a blond woman whose light blue eyes stared after the two boys. Feeling eyes on her, she turned her attention towards the red eyed man with a smirk. Returning the look, the unknown male stood up from where he was sitting and headed towards the gardens. Against the light, a glint of silver was seen as the man disappeared behind the door.
"Catherine, did you see where Ryuunosuke and Ryoma has gone off to? I don't see them anywhere in here." A man that looked similar to the two boys only older asked as golden brown eyes scanned the room again to make sure his two boy really weren't there before facing the blond woman again, who shook her head in the negative.
"I haven't seen them at all!" she lied "Maybe they're off causing trouble somewhere, you know your sons; always up to something." The man narrowed his eyes, he didn't like what his 'wife', and he used that term very loosely, was implying. She made it seem as if his boys were delinquents, which he knew was most definitely not true, at all; sure they did have their bouts of childishness, such as being brats but nothing too bad. He watched as she turned away with a wave of her hand as if to dismiss him from her sight.
A sneer twisted his lips, he never really liked the woman, the marriage between them was arranged when they were younger. But he ended up falling in love and had married without premission from his father. And by the time news had reached him, it had been too late to do anything about it. In the twenty-two years that they had been married, she had blessed him with two great boys. And in a cruel sense of fate, she was killed in a hit and run, on her way home. "Cat…" before he could continue a yell from the gardens gained everyone's attention.
Recognizing the yell, the man's heart gave a painful lurch, fear overcoming his body, wondering what could have befallen his son and whatever it was, had to hurt severely the thought alone caused him to take off in the direction it originated from; all the while hoping and praying that both of his son's were alright.
With
Ryoma and
Ryuunosuke
Ryuu smiled lightly as he watched his younger brother chase after his pet cat only to trip and fall to the ground. "Are you alright, Ryo-chan?" he questioned, worriedly, though he knew it was pointless to worry about such a minor fall besides even if he was hurt he wouldn't say anything anyways.
Sitting up, the younger male gave a nod towards his brother, looking around the garden, eyes darting around the area in search of his beloved feline who was no where in the immediate vicinity, "Karupin..." he called out, it was a few minutes later when Ryoma felt sonething brush up against his back and turned his glance behind him and smiled. "There you are." he whispered reaching out and lifting his beloved pet into his arms.
Walking over towards his brother, Ryuu reached out a hand and stroked Karupin's fur and smiled when a purr escaped the furball. The sound of approaching footsteps caused the brothers to look up in surprise. No one was aloud in these gardens escape for them and their father, not even their step mother could enter these gardens. This place was their mother's pride and joy before she passed away and there was no way that they were going to let just anyone come inside and destroy the peacefulness and calm they got from just being in here.
Narrowing his eyes, Ryuunosuke straightened up and glared at the male in front of them. His black hair was pulled back into a low ponytail and eyes as red as freshly spilled blood, pierced the brothers like a thousand needles. He was pale and gave off such a chilling presence that nearly froze the Echizen brother's where they stood, but they were Echizens, stubborn and never one to back down from anything, or anyone despite the consequences, especially if it meant protecting someone precious to them and to Ryuu his younger brother was definitely the most important thing to him, so steeling his nerves, and masking his own fear, Ryuu stepped in front of Ryoma, blocking him from the unknown males searching stare. "Who are you? And what do you want?" his tone, cold.
Chuckling the man stepped forward, a wild look entering his eyes, the closer he came to the teenager, the wider his smile became until he came to a stop a few feet away, his hands which was hidden behind his back until now came into view, revealing a silver bladed sickle, which was tainted red. Twirling the blade, his smile widened, impossible large making him appear even more maniacal then before, "I'm here to kill you of course." Lunging forward, the man brought his arm down.
Whipping around, Ryuu covered his younger brother protectively just as the blade made contact with it's target, in this case, his back, causing a scream of pain to escape his lips. Karupin hissed aggresively, fur bristling as he leaped from his safe confines of his masters arms and towards the man who was threatening not only the life of his young master, but also his brother.
Ryoma, glanced at his cat in surprise but he had no time to wonder what his beloved cat was doing when the sight of his brother collapsing was much more pressing at the moment. The twelve year old tried to catch his brother before he could face plant, but all it served to do was bring him to his knees along side his brother whose head lowered slightly, his eyes closed as blood poured from the stab wound. With tears in his eyes, the younger Echizen slowly got to his feet, and, against his brother's weak protest, stood in front of the strange man with arms spread out. "Don't hurt my aniki!" he called out, golden eyes lit up in defiance. He was not going to let the man hurt his beloved aniki anymore.
The man grinned sadistically, raising the curved blade to his lips the crazed man licked the blood, his eyes glazed over at the taste, smile widened, as he stared at the beautiful boy before him, "Your brothers blood was unexpectedly pleasing, but it's yours that I desire." the man groaned at the mere thought, "I wonder how yours will taste, Echizen Ryoma." gazing at the boy, the man lowered his weapon, "I've been watching you for some time you know, wait, what am I saying." a sardonic chuckle escaped his lips, "Of course you didn't know, only one person knew, and sadly, she's been against you since day one, but anyones, back to what I was saying. You were such an adorable little thing when you were younger. I loved watching you; as you grew, I found it hard to resist. I wanted you but you had no idea who I was or that I even existed, I was nothing to you, yet you were my world." the man hissed as he walked closer. "Every move you made was so sinfully seductive in the most innocent ways."
Ryuu grunted at the man's speech, "What are you? A stalker? A pedophile?" pushing himself up and ignoring the pain, Ryuu turned and glared at the man, "You touch one hair on my otouto's head, and I'll kill you!" he sneered, spitting out blood.
The man chuckled, "Now, now, don't get carried away, Ryuu." flashing a smile towards the wounded male, the red eyed man took another step forward, "For your about to die then what good would that threat be." It was in that instant that Karupin hissed, once more and lunged at the man only to be stabbed with the knife and flung away.
"KARUPIN!" Ryoma cried out as he watched his beloived cat collide with the tree, a sickening cracking sound filled the silence as he fell to the grass covered floor, a pool of blood forming beneath the animal, but what terrified the young Echizen was how motionless his pet was. "Karupin" tears fell from his eyes at the sight before he turned his attention back towards the male who was cooing at him, telling him how naughtly the cat was being and how he needed to be punished.
The red eyed male was about to reach out to grab a hold of Ryoma when a yell was heard. Looking over his shoulder, he scowled at the sight. "Well, it seems I have to kill everyone just to take you with me, Ryo-chan. But be a good boy for me and just stay here and wait until I'm finished." with that said the man pivoted on his feet and dashed towards the crowd.
Present day
"Echizen Ryuunosuke?" various confused voices were heard as they stared at the mae before them, "A relative of our own Echizen?" some voiced above the rest of the jumble of words being uttered around the room.
Ryuu gave a nod of his head, "Ryoma is, was, had been my brother..."
"What!"
"What are you talking about?"
"NYA!"
Screams, and exclamation of confusion were silenced when Fuji and Yukimura turned a smile towards the group before turning towards the teenage ghost boy, "Could you explain what you mean by that, Echizen Ryuu? How could Ryo-chan be your brother or had, is, was?"
"Ryoma died!" Ryuu whispered.
After those words were uttered, pandemonium broke out.
