Snowfall

I OWN NOTHING!

Chapter 5: Onii-Chan

"Kyoya!" Gingka shouts as the Lion Blader walks into view. He drops his launcher that he hadn't put away yet and runs over. Tithi, who stands on the other side of the stadium, squeals a little and runs over to greet him.

"Where have you been?" Tithi asks rapidly.

"It doesn't matter. Where's Hikaru?"

"She…" Tithi trails off and looks at Gingka with a sad face. Gingka closes his eyes with a sigh.

"WHAT?!" Kyoya demands.

"Hikaru was kidnapped...We think it was the same people who grabbed you."

"What?!" Kyoya fumes. "She's not even in Japan. She's in America."

"We got a call from Masamune and the others at Dungeon Gym. They said she disappeared 2 days ago."

"And they didn't say anything beforehand why?!"

"American rules or whatever." Gingka sighs. "You have to wait 2 days before you can report someone missing."

"Gingka." Kyoya's eyes turn dark. "I'm leaving again."

"Kyoya." Gingka mutters, his eyes focusing on Kyoya instead of the ground. Tithi runs and stands in front of Kyoya, his arms spread out and a determined look on his face.

"You can't." The two boys stare at the other.

"And you're going to stop me?" Kyoya challenges him.

"Yeah," Tithi answers. Glares continue between them before Gingka steps in.

"Enough." He takes a deep breath. "Kyoya, if you wanna go, go."

Kyoya's eyebrows rise. This wasn't like Gingka at all. The blader who was always talking about hope, friendship and hamburgers was telling him he could leave if he wanted?!

"Kyoya." They turned and saw a girl standing there. Her long purple braid swung in the breeze. Her green eyes stared intently at the boys.

"Wendy." A small huff escapes her lips. She smiles faintly and her eyes soften.

"Can I talk to you for a moment?"

"You're gonna kidnap him again!" Tithi accuses.

"No. It's fine." Kyoya pushes Tithi's head and walks over. He raises a hand to Gingka and leaves with Wendy.

"Gingka!" Tithi exclaims.

"It's fine. I can tell….she won't hurt him."


Kyoya's POV

"It's been a while." Wendy's purplish dress flows with her hair. It looks pretty in the wind as some of the strands have come out of the braid.

"That it has." I sit down on a rock. My eyes stare at the ground as I interlace my fingers.

"I did what I could."

"I know."

"Kyoya…" Wendy's voice cracks. "Why?"

"I don't know."

"Why did you ask me to stay all those years ago?" Wendy turns and throws her arm out. "I wanted to leave just as much as you did."

"I know."

"I hate it there! The things they force us to do. They make us…"

"I know."

She starts to tear up as silence takes hold. The girl who had looked at me like her big brother later on during our time in that hell-like place takes a step forward. I stand and get my footing. Holding my arms out, she dives into my chest.

Wendy chokes back a sob. She grabs the hood of my jacket with her fingers and squeezes as hard she can. I put on hand on her forehead.

"It's okay." I say softly. I softly stroke her hair as she lets out a wail into my shirt.

(9 years ago)

"Poor thing." Someone says as Kyoya passes.

"What happened?"

"You know the hire wire girl, Wendy?"

"Yeah."

"Her older brother was the fire breather….he died today." Kyoya gasps and runs away. He sprints towards Nyssa and Wendy's tent. Inside, Wendy sits crying on the bed alone.

"Wendy…" The girl looks up. Her hair obstructs her vision.

"Kyoya…" Tears well up in her eyes more. She puts her face back in her hands and shakes. Kyoya looks down for a moment before sitting on the bed next to her.

"My….my Onii-chan!" (AN: Onii-chan is Japanese for big brother.)

"You know…" Kyoya scratches his chin. "You aren't Japanese yet you call him Onii-chan." Wendy looks up and their eyes meet. The two blink at each other before Wendy starts giggling.

"You're right." The two share a laugh for a moment. Wendy puts her head on his shoulder and sighs.

"You know…" Kyoya looks away. "I…I could be your Onii-chan." Wendy blinks and sits up to look at him.

"Really?"

"Well…Ciel could be your Onii-chan or maybe…" Kyoya stutters. Wendy giggles.

"Kyoya-Nii. Onii-chan." Wendy tries before giggling again. "Onii-chan it is." They share a look of happiness and hug the other. Kyoya pats her head lovingly.

He had gained a little sister. "Imouto-chan." He whispered.


"Kyoya. You need to know something." Wendy steps back and wipes her face. "We have Hikaru."

"I figured. Did you…" He trailed off. Wendy nodded sadly.

"Hikari." She smiled faintly. "Close enough to her own name."

"I see. Thank you. Please…keep watching out for her will you?"

"You got it. What do you want me to tell Nyssa and Ciel?"

"That I refused to come back with you."

"But why not?!" Wendy shouts. She steps back and glares at him in the face. "We all miss you! You belong with us!"

Kyoya raises his hand and slaps her across the face. He hits her hard enough that she falls to the ground with a thud. She looks at him astonished before standing. A small cut on her cheek leaks blood slowly.

"You'll regret this!"

"I doubt that!" The two part ways.

Thanks for reading guys.
