Jyou looked around the park, confused because someone was crying! Who was crying? Jyou picked up his toy stethoscope and ran over to his brother, tugging at his pants, only to be shushed by him.

Jyou pouted, still hearing faintly the sound of someone crying. He placed his toy right on the bench, before walking behind the bench and following the sound of someone crying.

His father was too busy at work, so his big brother had taken up the job of looking after him. Jyou knew that his brother had only taken him to the park, because it gave him an excuse to meet up with some friends. Jyou was sure that his childhood was not quite like the other kids he saw at the park.

His brother told him that he was too young to understand, but Jyou was sure that his brother didn't understand either.

Finally after walking through some trees, Jyou saw the cause of the crying sound. It was a baby!

Jyou knew that he was called the baby of the family, and his mother had always called him that, her baby, but he was now 7 years old!

"Hello?" Jyou spoke up, slowly walking towards the baby, afraid of scaring him even more.

The baby stopped crying and looked at him.

"gah?" the baby's eyes looked at him, before tearing up again.

"Shh, shh, its alright, do not cry." Jyou quickly rushed over, wanting to cry along with the baby.

"It is okay," Jyou picked up the baby as best as he could and began rocking him as best as he could, remembering watching parents do that to babies.
The baby began to slowly quiet down.

"See, it is ok, you are ok." Jyou placed the baby back down and smiled at the baby, who was rubbing at his eyes.

"My name is Jyou Kido, nice to meet you." Jyou stated, offering his hand to the baby, who grabbed unto his fingers and laughed. Jyou laughed as well, reaching over and tickling the baby's stomach.

"Now, what are you doing out here by yourself? You could get stolen, you know that! You could get hurt and then you would need to go to doctor!" Jyou stated, beginning to chew on his bottom lip worriedly.

"Hey you! Get away from him!"

Suddenly Jyou was pushed roughly away from the baby, causing his glasses to fall off and for himself to hit his arm roughly on a stick on the ground.
Jyou felt tears well up in his eyes, as he searched for his glasses. Some tears made their way down his cheek as he inspected his arm. He sniffled and wiped his cheeks, finally glancing up at the blonde that had pushed him.

"Why you push me?" Jyou asked, voce soft and broken.
The other boy's glare suddenly soften and he walked over, only to have Jyou scrambled back.
The boy flinched with guilt.

"I'm sorry, I thought you were hurting my baby brother. I didn't mean to." the boy muttered, getting on his knees and slowly crawling over to where Jyou was.

"It is ok, I understand." Jyou muttered, wiping at his cheeks again.

"I am Yamato Ishida and he is Takeru Ishida." Yamato introduced himself and his little brother, as he took a look at Jyou's arm.

"I am Jyou Kido, nice to meet you." Jyou muttered, wincing as Yamato gently touched the bruise.
"I'm sorry for pushing you like that." Yamato stated, looking down guiltily.

"It is ok, now how come your baby brother was here by himself?" Jyou asked, getting up and making his way back to Takeru, who clapped his hands happily.

"My parents were arguing and I was taking care of Takeru, but he has just started crawling and I was caught up playing soccer with this kid, Taichi, and suddenly he wasn't there anymore." Yamato stated, rushing over to his baby brother as well.

"That is not good, you have to look after him better! Big brothers have to take care of their little brothers, especially when parents are not around anymore." Jyou stated, smiling and gently touching Takeru's cheek.

"It is really hard to take care of Takeru, my parents are separating and…. I feel that if I took better care of Takeru they would stay together….but I can't even look after him for an hour." Yamato sniffed causing Jyou to hug him.

"Do not be sad, it happens. My brother does not even know I left his sight, it happens. it is not your fault that your parents at leaving each other, sometimes, things happen that we can do nothing about. My brother told me that sometimes God has a reason for doing things, and that we have to remember that our parents love us even when they leave us." Jyou stated, causing Yamato to look at him in awe.

"Really? Are you sure?" Yamato asked, sadly.

"Yes, I believe that my mom, who is in heaven, loves me and watches over me, even when I cannot see her." Jyou stated firmly, causing Yamato's eyes widened.

"Your mother is in heaven?" he asked, causing Jyou to sadden and nod.

"Yes, but I know she is watching over me." Jyou stated, smiling weakly, causing Yamato to hug him tightly.

"I know she is, because you are a really nice person." Yamato stated, face flushed, causing Jyou to turn bright red as well.

"Jyou!" Suddenly Jyou's brother rushed through the trees, causing the two to separate immediately.

"Here you are! You scared me! Don't do that!" he hissed, reaching over and picking Jyou up.

"I'm sorry, but I found a baby crying!" Jyou stated, hugging his big brother back. Shin pulled back and looked at the two kids that were with his brother.
"That is Yamato and that is Takeru!" Jyou grinned, pointing to his two new friends.

Yamato looked at Shin, before tugging Takeru closer to him.
"A big brother as well, huh? Well, come on, how about we take your two new friends back to their parents, eh?" Shin smiled, putting Jyou back down.
Jyou nodded and picked up Takeru as best as he could, and tugged Yamato along.

Shin smiled as he watched his little brother interact, after months of seclusion, with others.
