I still feel discouraged but I'll try to continue this…

Ryoma was a little ticked off from his baka senpai's action. Stupid Momo just grabbed him and dashed towards his home. The little girl will be mad at him. Although, he could always blame it on his senpai. Ryoma enters his house and took off his shoes. Once he was about to go upstairs, his mother, Rinko calls him, "Ryoma, would you please come into the family room?"

Ryoma sighed and replied, "Yes mom". He slowly made his way to the living room. Once he got there, he saw his mother and his father seated. Rinko was drinking her green tea and Nanjiroh was reading a novel. Oh my gosh! He's reading a novel! Ryoma stood shocked from his father reading a novel. Rinko called him back from his shock. "Ryoma, please sit" Ryoma who's confused decided to listen to his mother and hear what she's about to say.

"Did something happen, kaa-san?" Ryoma asked.

"We got a call from your coach," said Nanjiroh. Ryoma looked at him confused. 'Ryuzaki-sensei? Why?' Ryoma thought.

"Why?" Ryoma asked.

"Said something about you suddenly faint and developed a fever…" Rinko replied so coldly. Her voice softened and asked, "Is it happening again, Ryoma?"

Ryoma looks down, unable to answer. 'Yes it's happening again' Ryoma answered mentally but his mother knew.

"Oh…not again…Ryoma you're transferring to another school" said Rinko.

"No! I won't!"

"Do as she says, seishounen" said Nanjiroh.

"Why should I?" Ryoma asked as he raised his voice. This was just stupid. Rinko tries to control the situation by soothing her little boy.

"Ryoma, please tone down-" Rinko was cut off.

"Why? Why do I have to transfer? You know that they'll never me alone! Because they're everywhere, kaa-san! They're everywhere! There's nowhere to hide from them! Even if I'm going to transfer to another school, there's bound to be a demon or a spirit there! It makes no difference!"

"Don't shout at your mother, seishounen!" shouted Nanjiroh as he put the novel down.

"Then don't decide things that concerns me! No! That is about ME! Do you have any idea how much it hurts to leave an unrest spirit?" Ryoma asked.

"That's enough, Ryoma!" shouted Nanjiroh. He then grabs Ryoma by the collar and lifts him up. "You're just a kid! You don't know how much danger you are in! The reason why we moved here was to get away from the past! We're–No! You're not here to be involved in any spiritual dead beings! I'm not about to loose you, the way I loose my brother!"

"It was his decision to whether or not he wants to go! He's not me! You're not me! I can make this one!" Ryoma answered back. Ignoring the sudden fear rising because of his father's actions and how he called him by his name. Ryoma pushed away from his father's grip.

"You don't really know! You don't really know how it feels to be! To be like me!" shouted Ryoma. Nanjiroh narrowed his eyes.

"What did you say?"

"You heard me! You know nothing of me! I've seen things that you or anyone else will never understand! I've seen them get killed!"

Everything was silent as Ryoma's words pierce through his parents' hearts, even Karupin and Nanako who were eavesdropping felt hurt.

"I've seen them suffer, I've seen them die! The spirits also made me go through the experience they had!"

"But this isn't about them! It's about you! Remember what the exorcist said! The more you get controlled the more your life shortens! That's how my brother died! You're too young to take such a responsibility! That's why you're here now! And that's why you'll be transferring to another school!" shouted Nanjiroh.

"Uncle does a better job of being father than you!"

"What?! What's good about him when he just died in the end fighting for spirits he never even know?"

"He died fighting for them! To show the real truth! He died for it!"

"That's his problem!"

"Better to face it than to run away from it!"

Dead silence…Nanjiroh was shocked, that was what his brother said. The last words his brother told him before he died. Nanjiroh just looked away from his son and coldly reply, "you are transferring whether you like it or not…"

Ryoma got even angrier by his father's stupidity. Ryoma thought, oyaji would have done the same thing if he was in his position but sadly, he isn't. He was really just a stupid perverted, pathetic father.

"I hate you! Baka Oyaji!" And with that, Ryoma ran out of the house as fast as he can. Nanjiroh tries to stop him but was held back by Rinko.

"Let him go, dear…let him go," said Rinko in a sad tone as tears start rolling down her cheeks. Nanjiroh slumped down on his seat, recovering from the tensed conversation. Nanako started crying. What was going on with the family? Karupin did nothing but went to her master's room and cry herself to sleep on the cold bed.


Thunder strikes in the sky and heavy rain starts to fall but Ryoma didn't care. There was just too much happening, no one can understand. No one can understand what he's been through since he was just seven. How would they know? After for an hour of an agonizing run. He stops for a break. His back slumped to the wall until sliding down on the ground.

Ryoma sat there for a while before curling up, preparing to cry, hopefully, the rain will cover his tears.

"Echizen?" Startled from the sudden voice, Ryoma looks up to see his nice then wild senpai.

"Echizen, what are you doing?"

"…Kawamura-senpai"


I'll tell you what the hell just happened during the argument on the next chapter, please review…
