Keiko was running quickly to her house. Who was that boy? Why he called himself brother? And mostly - why he left Keiko's room?

There were too many questions, but Keiko had to at least take some information from the man that could possible knew it. The one who was probably a drunk, and cheating scumbag - Tadao Nasura.

"..father!" Keiko yelled as she opened the door. It was hard to make her angry, mostly because of her innocent personality, but when Kega who was lying near noticed her expression, he just whimpered quietly and moved back, while Tadao was watching TV while sipping his coffee.

"Huh?" Tadao said and placed his mug on the table, and stood up "What happened?"

"I have to ask you!" Keiko said and quickly ran to him, as he raised his eyebrows.

"Okay.. why so fast? Is this something importa-"

"It is!" She yelled.

"W-woah, slow down" Tadao said and pointed at the couch "Have a seat"

Keiko nervously sat on the couch, looking around.

"What happened?" He said as she started to prepare a green tea for Keiko "Problems at scho-"

"Was there anyone besides me?"

Tadao raised his eyebrows and turned around to her "What do you mean..?"

"Anyone besides me" Keiko said "In the family! Am I your only child?!"

Tadao looked flustered, as he was wondering why she asks him something ridiculous like that "W-why are you even asking me that?!"

"I.. I.." Keiko said and tried to make a lie. She couldn't simply tell him that she found someone calling himself brother "..It's about Yuki, mother!"

"What did she tell you?" Tadao said and walked to Keiko, and gave her a mug of green tea.

Keiko quickly took a sip of her tea "M-mom.. she was just always telling me who you are.." she said and lowered her head "An always drunk man, abusing her and cheating on her everyday.."

Tadao gasped "W-what?!" he said and rubbed his eyes "Yuki.. you little.."

"Was that true?!" Keiko said, now feeling something other than curiousity - it was pure rage towards her father "Tell me!"

"N-no, I wasn't!" Tadao said and kneeled down "Yuki.. you piece of.. Keiko.. I'm sorry"

"For what?" Keiko said boldly.

"If I would just knew.. that Yuki was lying so much.."

Then Keiko understood few things. Why her mother didn't want to talk about him, always making an excuse about what he was like?

"Father.." She said and kneeled "..get up"

"Da-" he said and coughed "I mean.."

"I'm.. I'm not angry. You can call me like that.. because I'm your daughter.. and you're my father"

Tadao nodded, and stood up, hugging her.

"Now.." Keiko said "..why you left my mother? Did you have any other children? Please, tell me"

Her father sat on the couch, and started to explain.

"Keiko.. I'll show you something" He said and then stood up again, only to return with a photo, which he handed to his daughter.

A middle-aged man with brown short hair was rocking a child in his hands, while Keiko's mother was right next to him. While Yuki Nasura was looking at the camera, Tadao was looking only at little Keiko, smiling warmly.

"I.. I saw it before" Keiko said.

"That's right" Tadao anwsered "..we were both happy of you. We named you Keiko - the name which means blessed, or lucky child. I suggested it to her, because I thought that the gods themselves gave you to us. But after few months, your mother.."

"What?" Keiko nervously took a sip of tea.

"She started to leave the house very early, not even caring about her little daughter, only to come back soon while you were already sleeping.. she was feeling woozy, and I couldn't imagine that she was drinking, or something else.." He said and then stood up, and gave her something. It was a file filled with papers.

"Are these..?"

"Divorce papers" He said and sighed "..I knew that I can't help a child whose mother doesn't even want to take care of her.. I tried my best to get the parental rights, but.. I failed" Keiko heard a quiet sob.

"Father.."

"I couldn't believe that I could take care of you six years sooner!" He yelled, and suddenly Keiko hugged him.

"Father" Keiko said "I'm.. I'm glad I'm here.. don't feel guilty.. mother is dead, but I'm glad you're still alive"

Then, Tadao heard a quiet yawn.

"You're sleepy?"

"I'm.. not.." Keiko said but she was getting more and more tired "Father.. am I the only child?"

Tadao nodded "Even if you're not.. believe me, you're my only daughter, but I don't have to say you're Yuki's only one"

"I.. I believe you" Keiko said and closed her eyes.

"Sleeping while sitting or talking to someone.. you haven't changed a bit" Tadao said and picked her up, only to lie her on the bed.

April 13th

2:47 A.M

"You.. you have very beautiful room"

Keiko quickly opened her eyes as she heard someone's voice. It wasn't Tadao or even Kasai.

"Who's that?!" She said and stood up, looking around nervously.

While looking around, she saw someone standing in the corner. She slowly took her smartphone and turned the flashlight on, only to see that..

It was that boy. The brother. He was looking around, seeming curious.

"Y-you here?!" Keiko said "W-what.. what are you doing in my room?!"

"I.. don't know really.." he anwsered and moved forward "..how did I even get here?"

Minako tried to push him away from her, only to see that her hands went through him, like he was a ghost.

"What the heck?!" they both yelled.

"J-just.. just like with Wendy..!" Keiko thought to herself. Who was that brother?

"G-go away!" Keiko said and moved back.

Suddenly the boy's figure started to distort, like a computer screen's glitch. When Keiko moved a bit closer, his body went back to normal.

"Why I.." boy muttered and moved to her "..you are.. why do I feel like you're important to me..?"

"Maybe because you went out of my room in that world?!" Keiko said.

Suddenly the boy kneeled down and started to shook his head "Who.. who am I..?"

"Who are you..?" Keiko said and kneeled to him.

"K-Kou.." boy muttered "My name.."

"My name is.. Kou Machita"

"Kou Machita?" Keiko said "B-but.. why are you in my ro-" she stopped when she realized something.

"I'm a brother"

"Why.. why I was in this room?"

"..believe me, you're my only daughter, but I don't have to say you're Yuki's only one"

"Are you.." Keiko said "my brother?"

"Brother.." Kou said and looked at her "Keiko.. Keiko Nasura.. I somehow knew it way before.."

"My mother.. my mother had another child..?" Keiko said and formed her hands into fists.

"H-hey, I did nothing wro-"

"It's not you" Keiko said and walked to him "I.. guess I have to welcome you somehow.. Kou" Keiko said "Why I can't even push you away?"

"I.. don't know" Kou said "But I feel like I'm with you everywhere.. whenever you go in this world.. I'm there too"

Keiko almost fainted. Was the Kou that and that guy was his ghost? No, it couldn't be.

"Kou.." Keiko said "..I guess it makes me your sister"

"S-sister?" Kou said and then smiled nervously "I have my own sister?"

"It looks like" Keiko said "But now.. can I finally sleep? Please"

Kou nodded and bowed "Y-yes, Keiko-san!" he said and then left the room by going through the wall.

Keiko lied herself on the bed.

"First my father tells me that Yuki might had another child, now it seems that this boy is my brother.. half or alive.. how did he even get into my room?" she thought, and decided to close her eyes and go asleep. She had to visit the Waterfall tomorrow.

Hi there! I'm not used to writing long chapters, because before writing my fanfic, my other books (on Wattpad for example) had mostly 1000 words in chapters. In any way, this one is pretty short, but I'm sure that the next one will be longer.
