Chapter 9 - Manila, Philippines

At Naegi's house, Komaru was typing her laptop and checked her facebook in her room. She was chatting with Annais. Her brother, Makoto came in.

"Komaru, what are you doing?" he asked.

"Onii-chan, I was chatting with Annais. She said that she has a new laptop. Her family and Nagito are going to the Philippines tomorrow." Komaru answered happily.

"Wow! Annais, Nagito and Kiseki family go to the Philippines tomorrow. That's cool. Wait a minute! You told me that Nagito doesn't like airplanes. Is it okay for him to ride on the airplane?" Makoto asked.

"Well, she told me that he's going to be fine. I guess they're okay." Komaru wondered.

Meanwhile, Nagito, Annais and her family are riding on the airplane. They're going to the Philippines. Nagito is reading a book. Rebel is listening to the rock music using his mp3. Akihiro and Ressurecion are chatting. Annais is sleeping and cuddling Nagito.

"Bro, Chibi is very tired of packing the things." said Rebel.

"I know. She was very excited to go to Philippines." Nagito smiled.

"You too, Bro. You need to learn some English and Tagalog. About Lolo and Lola, they're crazy but funny and lovable. Oh! Beware of my cousins." Rebel warned.

"Huh! What's wrong with-?"

"EVERYONE! JUST SHUT UP AND SIT DOWN OR I'LL SHOOT YOUR HEADS!" the masked man shouted.

The people were scared and panic. The ten masked men stood up and held their guns. Nagito was frightened that his true nightmare came true.

"Damn it! It's not the time about this... I don't want to die... I don't want Annais and her family to die because of my stupid luck." Nagito whispered to himself and sat in fetal position.

"Hahaha! All of you become my hostages. This is a perfect bait to give some ransom." the masked man laughed.

"I don't think so."

"Huh!" the masked man turned and saw Annais. Annais is fully awake and staying in the middle of the hallway. "Hahaha! Aw man! This cutie is very brave." the masked man laughed and went to Annais.

"Annais! Stay away from him!" Nagito shouted.

"..." Annais didn't listen. The masked man went closer and closer. He puts out his gun but Annais ran and kicked the masked man's 'kiwi'. The masked man groaned and dropped his gun. He held his 'kiwi' and collapsed on the floor. He is whining in pain. The nine masked men shocked.

"Oh $h#*! She defeated our boss."

"GET HER!"

The nine masked men charged to attack Annais. Annais smirked and ready to fight. She kicked and punched the nine men. She tied ten of them with rope. She checked the stuffs from the ten masked men.

"The bomb is a fake but the guns are real. I should put them away." she said.

"Maybe I'll put the dangerous stuffs at the back." Akihiro suggested it and brought the stuffs to the back.

Annais agreed to her father and glared at the ten masked men. She sighed and looked at the people. "Do not worry. Everything is fine. My dad will take care of the things. We should calm down now." she smiled and spoke in English. She turned and glared at the ten masked men. "You motherf# ^# s made us freak out. Glad that I didn't kill you. If you're going to do that again, I'll rip your f# *ing balls off."

Nagito blinked and shocked to see Annais' actions. "Okay! What just happened?!"

"Annais learned a lot of fighting skills. She looks like my mom fought the hijackers long time ago." Rebel explained.

"He's right. My wife is my hero." Akihiro smiled at Ressurecion.

"Oh, Aki! It's just a past." Ressurecion blushed.

"... Annais has a bad #$ family." Nagito commented.

The airplane landed at Manila, Philippines safely. All the people were safe. The policemen arrested the ten masked men. Nagito, Annais and her family arrived at Ninoy Aquino International Airport. Nagito looked at the statue of Ninoy Aquino.

"Annais, who's Ninoy Aquino?" he asked.

"Oh! Benigno Simeon 'Ninoy' Aquino is a Filipino Senator. He fought for the Philippines to defeat Ferdinand Marcos as the next president. Unfortunately, he was assassinated here. That's why the Manila International Airport owner changed into Ninoy Aquino International Airport." Annais explained.

"Wow... It was very interesting history." said Nagito.

"My mom told me about this, even Kuya. C'mon, Moon! My uncle and auntie are waiting outside." Annais smiled.

"Alright, Ace." Nagito smiled too.

They went out of the airport. They looked around. Annais noticed that everything changes. Nagito was his first time to see many people and places.

"ATEEEEEEEE! NA-MISS KITAAAA!"

"BUNSO! NA-MISS KITA DIN!"

("SISTEEEEEEER! I MISS YOU!"

"LITTLE SISTER! I MISS YOU TOO!")

Nagito and Annais heard Ressurecion and her little sister/Annais' aunt, River are hugging with happiness.

"Glad to see you again, Dante." Akihiro smiled at River's husband and Annais' uncle, Dante.

"You too, Akihiro." Dante smiled. They bro fisted.

"Rebel, Annais, I'm so happy to see you. You two grow up." River smiled in English. She gave them a big hug.

"Hello po, Tita River! Masaya na ko nakita kita ulit. (Hello, Auntie River! I'm happy to see you again.)" Annais smiled.

"Ay! Nagsalita ka ng tagalog. Mabuti na lang. (Ay! You can speak tagalog. Goodness.)" River surprised.

"Opo, hindi namin kalimutan magsalita ng tagalong. (Yes, we never forget to speak tagalog.)" Rebel smiled.

"Akihiro, Ressurecion, sino ang kasama ni Annais? (Who's with Annais?)" Dante asked and looked at Nagito.

"Oh! Siya si Nagito Komaeda, best friend ni Annais. (This is Nagito Komaeda, Annais' best friend.)" Akihiro introduced Nagito to River and Dante.

"Hello! It's nice to meet you." Nagito bowed to River and Dante in English.

"Oh! Why, hello. I'm Dante Salvador. This is my wife, River." Dante smiled and bowed.

"Honeypie, bakit ka nag-bow?(why did you bow?)" River asked.

"Because Japanese people bowed for respect." Dante answered.

"Ooooh." River guessed.

"Tita, Tito, saan po ang mga pinsan ko?(Auntie, Uncle, where are my cousins?)" Annais asked.

"Nasa fastfood sila. (They're at the fastfood.)" Dante replied.

"Okay. Rebel, Nagito, let's go. I want to meet my cousins." said Annais. She left to find her cousins.

"Wait up, Ace!" Nagito followed Annais.

"Haha! Moon and Ace are the perfect nicknames." Rebel laughed and followed them.

"Moon? Ace?" River and Dante confused.

"Moon means 'My One and Only Nagito' and Ace means 'Annais Crazy Epic'. Gumawa sila ng sariling nicknames.(They made their own nicknames.)" Ressurecion explained.

"Ang galing! Maganda ang idea nila. (The mastery! That's their beautiful idea.)" Dante commented.

Afterwards, Annais, Rebel and Nagito went to the fastfood to find the cousins. Rebel found two girls with different dresses and one boy with rocker style.

"Roswell! Yumi! Ami!" Rebel called.

Roswell, Yumi and Ami heard Rebel's voice. They turned and saw Rebel and Annais. They surprised and ran to them

"Rebel, Long time, no see!" Roswell grinned.

"You too, Bro!" Rebel smiled. The boys gave them a high five.

"Oh my gosh! Annais, we're so happy to see again." Ami smiled and hugged Annais.

"Annais, you changed. I like your hairstyle." said Yumi.

"Thanks! OMG! I miss you so much, mga pinsan. (cousins)" Annais smiled.

"Bro, Sino ang kasama mo, bagong pinsan? (Who's with you, new cousin?)" Roswell asked and looked at Nagito.

"Nope, he's our best friend, Nagito Komaeda. Nagito, this is Roswell. You can call me 'Rosy'." Rebel introduced Nagito to Roswell.

"Don't call me 'Rosy'!" Roswell hissed. He looked at Nagito and smiled. "Just call me 'Ros' or 'Roswell." he said.

"It's nice to meet you, Ros." Nagito smiled and spoke in English.

"Are you a Japanese?" Roswell asked.

"Yes but I want learn to speak Tagalog." Nagito replied.

"Well, Rebel and I can help you." said Roswell.

"Really! Thank you!" Nagito cheered.

"Anyway, I like to meet my sisters, Yumi and Ami. Yumi is older than Ami." Roswell introduced to Yumi and Ami.

"Hello, Nagito!" Ami greeted.

"Welcome to the Philippines, Nagito." Yumi smiled.

"Hello, Yumi and Ami." Nagito smiled. 'Rebel, you liar! They are not dangerous at all.' He thought in his mind.

In fifteen minutes later, All of them rode on a van. Nagito was very nervous to sat between Rebel and Roswell. Annais, Yumi and Ami are chatting. Nagito didn't understand the girls' conversation.

"Um... I think they have a good time." said Nagito. (In English)

"They talked about girly stuffs. If we're at home, you can borrow my books" said Roswell.

"Thank you very much. I really like books." said Nagito.

"Yup! Nagito is a fast learner and also a valedictorian." said Rebel.

"Valedictorian! Wow! I was so lucky to meet you in person." Roswell shocked.

Mahal kita pero

Mahal kita pero

Mahal kita pero

"Oh my gosh! I know that song!" Annais surprised.

"Ako din! (Me too!)" said Ami.

"Magkanta tayo! (Let's sing it!)" said Yumi.

Di pwede kay nanay, di pwede kay tatay

Ayaw ni tito at ni tita

Mapili si ate pati si kuya

Strikto si lolo at si lola

Mag-aral raw muna

O mas bigyan ng oras ang pamilya

Pero tandaan mo to

Mahal na mahal kita

Mahal kita pero

Mahal kita pero

Mahal kita pero

Pero pero

"Um... Is someone has a translator?" Nagito asked.

"I'll say. It's a song about love can wait. It's part of the high school life. So, I understand this song." Roswell replied.

"Oh wow! Girls love love songs." Nagito commented.

"Yup! I want to listen rock music." said Rebel.

At Salvador's house, Nagito, Annais and her family rested on the living room. They were eating their Filipino meals for lunch. They noticed Nagito ate the Filipino meal as well. (English conversation)

"Nagito, do you like adobong manok?" River asked.

"Yes, Ressurecion-san made many Filipino meals and tasted it. It was good, even your abodong manok is good too." Nagito answered.

"Well, My big sister teaches me how to cook. I know you like it." River smiled.

"Ang Japanese boy ay kumain ng mga pagkain ng pinoy. First time ko 'to. (The Japanese boy can eat pinoy foods. It's my first time.) Anyway, did you eat sushi or maki? Did you get a stomach ache?" Ami asked.

"Yes and No." Nagito answered.

"You have a strong stomach. I can't eat raw meat because I got stomach ache." said Yumi.

"Nagito, Did your parents know that you have vacation with us?" Dante asked.

'Crap! They didn't know that his parents are gone. What should I do?' Annais thought in her mind.

"Um...Well...They..." Nagito tried say something about his parents but he can't explain to them.

"Of course, we asked their permission. They're very close to Mommy and Daddy." Annais lied the answer.

"Oh! That's great. That's why you two are best friends." Dante smiled.

"True... Moon, did you finish your lunch?" Annais asked in Japanese.

"Yes." Nagito replied.

"I finished mine. We have to talk...alone. Excuse me po. May importante usap kami ni Nagito. (I have an important talk with Nagito.) " said Annais.

"Sige!(Of course!)" River agreed.

Nagito and Annais finished and left the dining room. Salvador's family were curious why they left. Annais and Nagito were at the garden that no one's around. They were talking in Japanese so that the Salvador family didn't understand what they are saying.

"Gosh! They didn't know about this. If we tell them, they will ask a lot of questions." said Annais.

"It's okay to tell them the truth. I can answer all." said Nagito.

"O' rly! Try to answer 'Are you homeless?', 'Did you lived in the orphanage?', 'Do you have relatives?', 'How can you be rich?' or 'Can I borrow your money?'." Annais hissed. Her arms were on her chest.

"...That's a lot of questions." Nagito replied. He raised his brow.

"See! That's the point. We're here for a happy vacation, not a stressful problem." Annais sighed. She face palmed.

"Annais, you need to relax your mind. By the way, I need cheer you up before I'm having time with Rebel and Roswell." Nagito went closer to Annais and kissed on her cheek. "If I kiss you on your sweet lips, you're going to blush." Nagito winked and left to the house.

"Che! You're so cheesy." Annais blushed. She touched her cheek and smiled.

Annais and Nagito separated to spend more time with the Salvador siblings. Annais, Ami and Yumi were playing 'Just Dance 4' on Xbox. Nagito, Rebel and Roswell learned about Tagalog and Filipino culture. After that, the boys were playing 'House of the dead: Overkill' on Wii. Their parents said that they stayed in two weeks. Everybody agreed. On the seventh day, all of them went to SM North Edsa. They were shopping some new things for them. At lunchtime.

"JOLLIBEE! I MISS YOU SO MUCH!" Annais shouted while hugging a bee like with arms and legs statue.

Nagito, Rebel, Roswell, Ami and Yumi saw Annais is hugging the Jollibee awkwardly.

"Why she's hugging a bee man statue?" Nagito asked.

"That's because she really miss her favorite fastfood, Jollibee. I'm happy but I felt weird to see her like that." Rebel replied.

"Is there a Jollibee fast food at Japan, Nagito?" Ami asked.

"Nope, only McDonald's, Aoki's pizza and so on." Nagito answered.

"You know, Annais hates McDonald's since we were kids." said Yumi.

"What! She ate any foods at the McDonald's. Why she hates it?" Nagito asked.

"Because she told us that it's too obese. If you watch 'Super Size Me', you know it." Yumi replied.

"It's true. I'll show you. Annais, mag-lunch tayo sa Mcdo. (Let's have lunch at the Mcdo.)" Rebel called.

"No f#$ ing way! I have to eat Jollibee meals here! If I didn't eat Jollibee, I'm going to get brainwash by Mcdo!" Annais shouted.

"I guess we should eat here. I mean, I never been a Jollibee fastfood for the first time." Nagito suggested.

"Alright! We should eat here." Rebel agreed.

"Yehey!" Annais cheered. She's still hugging Jollibee. O_O

"Annais, stop making love with Jollibee. It makes a major freak out." said Rebel.

And so, they were their meals at the Jollibee. Annais was happy and eating a lot of food from the Jollibee. Nagito ate a hamburger that Annais told her that the hamburger is the most delicious. He realized that she's right. The hamburger from the Jollibee is better than Mcdo's hamburger. After lunch, they went to the arcade to play arcade games. Nagito and Roswell were playing racing game. Rebel was playing Street Fighters game. Ami and Yumi were playing mini bowling.

"Bro, where's Annais?" Rebel asked.

"I think she's playing House of the Dead shooting game. I'll check her out." Nagito answered and went to check Annais. He saw her and shocked.

Annais is playing 'house of the dead' with two guns. She defeated the boss and finished it. "Phew! Mataas ang score ko. (My score is high.)" she commented. She saw Nagito. "Nagito, you finished the racing game. We should play more." she said.

"Okay. I was very awe to see play that game with two guns." said Nagito.

"Yeah! I never tried two guns before. It's like a real life two guns shooting game." Annais smiled.

"Whoa! You're good at games. What game do you like?" Nagito asked.

"Toy catcher." Annais replied. They went to the toy catcher. Annais saw a pink pig stuff toy and played the toy catcher. The claw caught the stuff toy but it slipped. Annais sighed.

"Do you... want me to play that for you?" Nagito asked and pointed at the toy catcher.

Annais shook her head. "No thanks. I will play it all by myself. You can find any stuff toy that you like." she said.

"You don't want to help you because of my luck." Nagito frowned.

"Ah! No, I just want to have fun. That claw is cheating. I won't blame you. Besides, arcade is a fun place." said Annais.

"Okay, I understand." Nagito nodded and left to play other games.

'I hope I didn't upset him. If I didn't get this stuff toy, I'll give up and find some arcades. I should get more tickets to get a prize for him.' Annais thought of herself. She played the toy catcher in ten times but she always didn't get the pig stuff toy that she wanted. She plays the other games to get some tickets. Nagito saw her and played the toy catcher secretly. He succeed to get the stuff toy. After they have fun, they went home. Nagito is reading a English-Tagalog book and lying on the bed at Roswell's room. Annais came in and sat on the bed besides him.

"Hey, Moon!" Annais greeted.

Nagito looked at her and smiled. "Hey, Ace! Is something that you want to do?" he asked kindly.

"Yes... can you rise your left hand?" Annais asked.

"Sure." Nagito did what she told. He rose his left hand. Annais held his hand. She has a green ruler in her hand. Nagito found it curious. Annais slapped Nagito's left wrist. The green ruler curved around his wrist and turned into a bracelet. "Oh!" he surprised.

"I just bought it from the arcade. It was ten tickets for that. It's a bracelet ruler. You can use it as a ruler, bracelet or bookmark. I hope you like it." Annais blushed.

"Of course, I love it. The bracelet ruler is very useful to remember the page that I learn. Thank you very much." Nagito smiled and hugged her.

"You're welcome, Nagito." Annais replied.

"Annais, I have-"

"ANO GINAWA MO DITO?!(WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!)" Nagito and Annais heard a woman shouting. They rushed downstairs at the living room. They saw a woman in a suit and her daughter in purple dress. Ressurecion has a deadly stare at the woman.

"Regina, magbakasyon kami dito. Bakit ka sumigaw sa amin? (Regina, we're here to have a vacation. Why are you shouting at us?)" Ressurecion asked.

"Bakit? Kasi nagalit ako sa'yo.(Why? Because I'm mad at you.) I mean, I don't want to see you, your family and your curse pig." Regina replied.

"Ano sinabi mo?!(What did you say?!)" Akihiro hissed and going to strangle Regina but Ressurecion stopped him.

"No, Aki. I'll talk to her." said Ressurecion.

"Ate Regi, kailan mo nagpahinga. Nagbakasyon sila dahil na-miss nila ang mga pamilya natin. (Sister Regi, You need to rest. They have a vacation because they miss our family.)" said River.

"Hmph! Naniniwala ka sa sabi nila? Naalala mo si Fanice ay patay na dahil sa bruhang demonyo parang si Annais?!(Did you believe in them? Do you remember that Fanice is dead because of that demon witch like Annais?!)" Regina glared and pointed at Annais.

Annais was terrified to hear Regina's rage. She started to cry and ran to her room. Nagito saw Annais' reaction. He gritted his teeth and glared at Regina.

"Well, you should leave this place." said Regina.

"No! It was you should leave here!" Nagito shouted at Regina in English. Everybody paid attention to him. "You know what. Annais is happy in Japan but she still remembers Fanice. She felt so guilty of what happened to her twin sister but Fanice told her that she forgave her because it was serial killer's fault and Annais killed him for revenge. Huwag mo tawagin 'bruhang demonyo' ang best friend ko at huwag mo idamay ang pamilya niya. Ikaw ay ang bruhang demonyo dahil hindi ka maruno mag-awa kay Annais at hindi mo alam ang buong storya. Kung nagawa ka ng mali o bastos, lumayas ka na at huwag mo idagdag ang gulo. (Don't call my best friend a demon witch and don't blame to her family. You're the demon witch because you're merciless to Annais and you didn't know the whole story. If you're making wrong or disgrace, you should go away and don't add up some disaster.)" he said it angrily at Regina. He left to the living room to find Annais.

At the girls' room, Annais is crying on the bed alone. She removed her contact lens and closed her eyes. remembered her horrifying past.

~Flashback~

At the dark alley, Annais is crying and Fanice hugged her.

"Fanice, I'm scared!" Annais cried.

"Don't worry. We're always be together. Just calm down." said Fanice. She rubbed Annais' back.

"So, you two are good girls. Who wants to go first?" the serial killer asked. He smirked and licked his lips.

Annais hugged her older twin sister tightly. Fanice protected Annais and glared at the serial killer. They didn't reply.

"Oh...well..." the serial killer pulled Annais' hair away from Fanice.

"Waaaaaaah! LET ME GO!" Annais screamed.

"LET MY SISTER GO, YOU CREEP!" Fanice shouted and got up. She punched the serial killer.

The serial killer threw Annais away. Annais bumped at the wall. She felt hurt but she heard Fanice screaming. She looked up and shocked. The serial killer stabbed Fanice's body and ripped using a bloody knife. He was laughing with evil.

Annais saw them everything. She stood up and stopped the serial killer. "STOP IT!" she yelled. She bit the serial killer's hand.

The serial killer got hurt his hand by Annais and let go of the knife. Annais pushed the serial killer away and ran closer to Fanice. She stared at Fanice's torment and bloody body. Her eyes are dark and dead.

"Fanice! Fanice! Wake up!" Annais shouted. Fanice didn't respond or move her body. She stayed dead. Annais came out of her tears and sobbed. She hugged her dead twin sister. "FANICE!" she cried. She looked at the knife and the serial killer. She glared and let go of Fanice. She quickly took the knife. She charged and stabbed the serial killer's stomach. The serial killer screamed in pain. Annais stabbed him even more. She laughed insanely.

In two days after the serial killer is dead, Ressurecion threw Annais into her bedroom.

"IT'S YOUR FAULT THAT FANICE IS GONE! YOU ARE GROUNDED!" Ressurecion shouted and slammed the door.

Annais stayed in her position and doing nothing she lied on the floor in fetal position. All of her family blamed to her. Annais locked herself in her room. She was crying and suffering from despair. In three weeks later, Annais sharpened her pencil with a sharpener. She looked at the sharp point of her pencil and then, she stabbed herself in her stomach. She fell down and her stomach is bleeding.

~End of Flashback~

Annais woke up in the girls' room. She realized that she slept after her dream about her past. She felt something heavy. She knew that she was hugged by Nagito. Nagito slept peacefully with his innocent and handsome face. Annais stared him and giggled a little. She felt something strange between them. She looked down and surprised. It was a pink pig stuff toy from the toy catcher.

"Kawaii!" She smiled and nuzzled on the pig's nose.

"Heehee! I know you love it." Annais heard Nagito's voice and looked up. Nagito woke up and stared at her light blue and pink eyes. "Your reaction is so cute." he giggled.

"Che! You're so mischief." Annais pouted.

"I'm glad that you're awake. We should eat some dinner." Nagito said.

"Eh! What time is it?" Annais asked.

"12:30 am. We haven't eat dinner yet. Let's go to the kitchen." Nagito answered and got up.

"Huh! It's night time! Hey! Wait for me!" Annais shocked and got up. She carried the pig stuff toy with her.

Nagito and Annais went to the kitchen. They turned on the lights. Nagito took out the fried chickens and rice from Jollibee and heat it on the oven. Annais prepared two plates, two glasses, two spoons and forks on the table. The fried chicken and rice are ready. Nagito carried them with mittens and placed them on the table. They are eating their dinner in silent. It was so quiet that Annais' family were sleeping. Suddenly, Nagito broke the silence.

"Annais, how are you?" he asked.

"I'm alright... I think." Annais replied.

"Still remembered about what happened?" Nagito was worried.

"Yeah... I didn't know what happened after I left." said Annais.

"I... kinda scolded Aunt Regina about what she said. I was so pissed off that she said mean things to you and your family. I went to the girls' room to comfort you." Nagito blushed.

"And you brought the piggy with you. You're romantic." Annais smiled. She looked at her piggy stuff toy on the table.

"Well, I was going to give that to you but your aunt irritated our moments." Nagito pouted.

"Moments~" Annais smirked and wiggled her eyebrows.

"Hahaha! Your face is funny." Nagito laughed.

"... I like you to see your laugh. Anyway, thanks for the piggy." Annais smiled.

"You're welcome." Nagito smiled at her back.

While they were talking each other, Rebel was listening to them outside of the kitchen. Ressurecion arrived.

"Oh! Rebel, why you're awake?" she asked.

"Annais and Nagito woke up. So, I'm awake... I really like to see their smiles. Annais is still stable. I don't want her to commit suicide again." Rebel answered.

~Flashback~

"I HAD ENOUGH!" Rebel shouted with outrage. He heard his parents are always blaming at Annais but he won't believe them. He rushed to Annais' room. He tried to open the door but it's locked. He used the key and put it on the door knob. He turned and opened it. Suddenly, he saw Annais lying on the floor. Her little sister stabbed by the pencil and bleeding. She was unconscious. Rebel shocked and tried to wake Annais up.

"ANNAIS! ANNAIS! MOM! DAD! WE NEED TO GO TO HOSPITAL NOW!" Rebel shouted.

At the hospital, Rebel and his parents were waiting at the waiting room while Annais was at the ER(Emergency Room). The doctor arrived from the ER. Rebel stood up and ran over to the doctor.

"Doctor, how's Annais?" Rebel asked and worried about Annais.

"You must be Annais' big brother. Well, she's fine. We took out the stomach but her wound is not pretty deep. She told me that she did it. I still don't know why." the doctor wondered.

"Easy! my mom and dad were always mad at Annais because the serial killer killed my other little sister. That's why she wants to kill herself." Rebel explained.

Ressurecion and Akihiro gasped what their son said. "Rebellion, don't-"

"Don't say what?! I don't care. I was telling the truth. Annais didn't kill Fanice because she loves her. She killed the serial killer because that's her revenge for killing Fanice. You don't know the whole story. Only trust Auntie Regina. Well, $# &! I'm going to check my little sister." Rebel hissed and left from the waiting room.

He went to the hospital room to check on Annais. He opened the door. Annais woke up and sat on her bed. She was fully quite and didn't look at her brother. Her eyes are dark like she's in despair. Rebel saw her but he forced to smile. He went closer to Annais and sat on the bed.

"Hiya!" Rebel smiled.

"..."

"Chibi, You're okay."

"..."

"That pencil won't work. Only a knife or chainsaw are the deadliest. Joke! Just don't kill yourself."

"..."

"I'm seriously... Don't kill yourself." Rebel frowned.

"..."

"Look! I blamed the serial killer, not you. Our stupid parents are believing at Auntie Regina. I know the whole story about what happened. The serial killer killed our beloved sister and then, you killed him. Well, he deserved it. We love our sister because we never jealous on each other. If our parents are still mad at you, we should run away from them and go to our grandparents." he said.

"..."

Rebel hugged Annais and started to cry. "Annais, I don't hate you. I love you, my little chibi. Please come back. I want to see your smile again." he sobbed.

"...Kuya." Annais whispered.

~End of Flashback~

Rebel sighed.

"I see... You still remember that. Don't worry, it's over. We forgave Annais about that. Only your Auntie Regina will forget about Fanice's death and forgive Annais." Ressurecion frowned. "Nagito understands about this. He cares about Annais. He was very angry at your auntie using tagalog. I was amazed that he can speak tagalog. Did you and Roswell teach Nagito how to speak tagalog?" she asked.

"Yup! Nagito is an advance kid. They're the ultimate teachers. " Rebel smiled.

"Oh! You're so cute, you little man." Ressurecion cooed and pinched Rebel's cheeks.

"Moooom! Don't call me 'little man'." Rebel blushed with embarrass.

After two weeks, Nagito, Annais and her family(Kiseki and Salvador) rode on the airplane and went to Iloilo to visit their grandparents. Nagito was practicing his Tagalog. Annais will help him.
