Chapter Eleven
Kaito's POV
Should I use the antidote the kid gave me? That would only mean to have poor Sakura go through this again sometime in the future and Zaks not yet been informed but he figured it out. A whine breaks me out of my thoughts and I hear Sakura crying and Zaks attempts to calm her. Sakura just cries louder and I hear defeat in Zak's voice. I hurry to the bedroom and knock on the door. "Zak, Sakura, may I come in?" I knock at the door and it's Sakura who answers "Come in daddy". Came such a broken whisper I had barely heard it. I know she's still grieving and wanting Lucia more than ever but still to watch this all over again, seeing my children struggling with their emotions, how could I be so merciless and cruel. I will not give the antidote to Lucia because as much as I love her and wish her to be at my side, she has found peace and if Sakura goes through this again, she'll be completely destroyed. I walk in and just see Sakura's pain filled face and walked over taking her into my arms. There's no way in hell I'm putting her through this again. I walk over to her and wrap my arms around her as she hugs me back crying. I press a kiss to her head and hold her until she passes out. I lay her on the bed and cover here with her favorite pink blanket. "Good night, my little one. Zak we need to have a discussion". I then walk out the door with Zak following me. "I didn't do it, wait what am I in trouble for?" Zak says and I shake my head and chuckle "You're not in trouble this time-" I begin until I sit down and a snap goes off. I take the mousetrap off my ass and give Zak such a glare his skin went pale. "I'm gonna go… anywhere but here" he begins to run away and I start to follow until I realize how I look and try to calm down. The iris of my eyes are a sparkling crimson while my pupil is triangular. "Geez I leave you and your son alone for a little bit and you're ready to kill him, what did he do this time?" My brother asks and I point to the mousetrap "The brat thought it would be amusing to have this snap me in the ass. He really needs a good smack". I reply and look at Sakura behind the door holding her teddy bear. "Sakura didn't I just put you to bed?" I ask her and runs over and hugs me. "Sakura… go back to sleep… we have a long day". She just continues to hug me. "Sakura. Go. To. Bed". She lets out a whine "Daddy… I can't sleep… I want daddy…" I can't handle this right now. I know she needs her sleep but I know she doesn't want to be alone. I still have my demon eyes so I know I may snap at her and I really don't want to but as long as I'm in this form I cannot help it. "Sakura, let me calm down please. You're brother pushed me to my limit and I need to be left alone. As soon as I calm down I'll come and hold you. Gaito, if you could keep Sakura company while she waits for me that would be great". I look to him and he walks over and takes her away and I begin to look for Zak and he's not getting out of this one. When I come to his room I hear sniffling and labored breathing. I sigh letting my anger dissipate and walked in. "Zak. Do you wanna talk?" All he does is hide his face in one of his pillows and shakes his head as I sit on his bed. "Gomenasai, father, can I be alone?" my lips pull into a smirk "I believe you have the ability to". He snorts "you seem to be in a good mood… but… how can you?" I allow myself to smile more and say "Because my children need me… no matter how young or old they are". He begins to look up and says "Thanks dad" and I just look at him and then say "However you're grounded. Three days. No arguing or else it'll double". After that I wave him goodnight but I heard footsteps following me. "I assume that You'll join your sister and I-" I begun but stopped speaking when I saw Sakura walking towards us and stopping in front of me. "Daddy I don't feel good". I frowned deeply and knelt to see her face. Her face was pale and her eyes were cloudy. "I think you have yourself a fever by crying come here". She does as I say and I carry her to my room as Zak follows us. I place Sakura on the bed on my side and begin the task of braiding her hair and pushed her down to sleep. I got in and wrapped my arms around her with Zak repeating my action on her other side. "Hey dad, what's this" Zak asks with a smirk as he holds up the revival antidote. "Zak…" I growl and he gives me back the vial. "Two weeks". He gives me a look and I just shake my head. "Get some sleep. We're going back tomorrow, remember? And this… it's a revival potion however if I use this… all that'll happen is your mother with us for awhile and then taken away from us again. I know that'll destroy your sister". I finish and I'm relieved to hear him say "I understand" and goes to sleep. I then get up and go to the bathroom and throw the vial on the ground breaking it as the liquid comes out and evaporates. I pick up the shattered pieces of glass and disposed of them. I then begin to pack stuff for Sakura and Zak as the rest are all set. When I finish I see it's 5:25 in the morning. I go to wake up Zak and Sakura and my heart melts at the scene; Zak's arms are wrapped around Sakura in a protective manner. Sakura's face is buried in his neck and I can feel her calm aura radiate calming me as well. "Time to wake up" I smirk as I take Sakura away from Zak, making him fall to the floor "Can't you ever wake me up without pushing me off the bed in some way? This is getting exhausting". He says to me and I smile at him knowing that only pisses him off twice as much as he was. Sakura then begins to awaken and upon seeing me gives me a small smile to which I just hug her closer before putting her down. She runs off somewhere to which I assume is the kitchen. I then hear a girl's scream coming from my son who jumped on the bed and looked pale as a ghost. "Zak.." I start then see a mouse on the floor and I feel myself smile. "Awe, it's so cute; oh Zak why don't you hold it or pet it" I say and pick up the mouse and hold it to his face. He lets out another screech and runs out of the room. I let out a chuckle knowing that is the only thing he's afraid of. Mice. "Kaito- sama, Kaito- sama there is an emergency! Sakura- sama collapsed she's being brought to the hospital wing" I immediately run down and get to her in record time. "Daddy. It hurts" she says. Where does it hurt? She points to her oh God no. "Kaito- sama she needs to get into surgery asap!" the doctors call and leave me to wait.
