"Fuji is the son of Yoshiko."
Ryoma gasp in disbelief kneeling at the ground feeling hurt suddenly and he bite his tongue to let out his anger. Yuuta just watch as Ryoma was looking down at the ground and was trying hard not to show any emotion but it can't hold the tears that is building at his eyes and was falling down to his cheek.
Griping his hand and let his nail enter the skin letting the flesh wounded and he let Yuuta see how his hand repeat being injured and heal back, Yuuta was kind of surprise to see Ryoma reaction. To see the young boy was being hurt by his words but he didn't move from his position not wanting to take any risk.
"My mother Yoshiko was a vampire hunter, we we're well known because we had killed the most powerful vampire. Then soon my mother marry our father and then had produce three siblings, I'm sure you already know Yumiko my eldest sister but me and Fuji existent was kept a secret due to our wishes to experience normal life."
"I never thought that woman had two other children." Ryoma say still in shock.
Ryoma then grip tight at his shirt, looking up at Yuuta showing a very pale face and sadly spoke. "Are you going to kill me now?" He asks with his whole body shaking in fear.
The sun is setting down and the room they're in are getting darker, the intense feeling inside of them risen. Looking at each other eyes, right now Yuuta had the strength to kill Ryoma, right here and now. The moon had appeared behind those dark clouds shining at Ryoma making his eyes sparkle.
Yuuta show a serious face thinking what the right thing to do. Their shadow that being shine by the moonlight getting longer and reach to the ceiling, Yuuta touches the scar at his face, the scar that can't been hell no matter what medical treatment he had, the mark that was being make by the vampire that try to kill him. He was saved by his mother and from that day he will kill the vampire thinking they were bad people but now is what he was about to do is right? 'Is this boy really evil?'
"Please…can I make a last wish?"
Yuuta eyes widen as Ryoma spoke. "I wish that I want to be free before I die."
Ryoma then give a sad smile as he closes his eyes preparing of what about to happen, Yuuta shout in anger and slam the wall a few times, Ryoma open his eyes surprise to see Yuuta was leaning at the wall griping the bloody hand near his chest. "How can I kill you when you're like that? Vampire supposes to be evil and you want to die just like that? Aren't you guys supposed to use all the advantage to kill who knows your identity?"
Ryoma blink a few times and shook his head. "I don't know if you believe me but no matter how long I live I had never kill a single soul and you are one of those people I first saw after finally break through the wall that had been separating me from the fake world. Even though I had break free from there I knew very well I never had a real freedom yet."
Yuuta quickly walk out not caring about Ryoma anymore, he feel sympathy all over him all of the sudden. "That boy…"
Ryoma give a loud sigh as he was still kneeling at the ground, he then touches his neck and make a small cut but the injury quickly heal back. "No matter how much I want to run away this curse that is on me will never go away and know even a hunter don't want to kill me letting me suffer some more."
He then remembers about Fuji being the son of the most dangerous hunter he then started to laugh. "I'm such an idiot, all this time he just fooling around with me, he never care about me. He's fooling me the whole time."
His curl into a ball lying on the cold concrete floor not bothered to go back to his room, right now he just want to sleep. It was very comfortable right now, the coldness, the darkness and the beautiful moonlight. He want to calm his heart that was torn to piece, it was very painful to know the truth.
"Brother, why do you have to leave me alone? Why can't you take me with you?"
Hearing a few steps in front of him, he lazily is looking up. Quickly recognize the shape of the glasses.
"What are you doing here Tezuka, aren't you suppose to still be in that council of yours."
Tezuka bend down and place his hand at Ryoma fore head. "I finish early today, would you mind telling me what are you doing here on the floor? You should go to bed right now not at this junk." He then turns around looking at the plastic bag.
"DON"T!" Ryoma shouted as Tezuka was reaching out his hand to pick it up. "Don't look inside!"
Tezuka then pull back his hand away immediately as he spotted tears at Ryoma face. "Let's go now Ryoma, you will catch a cold to sleep at a place like this. We had school tomorrow so don't think of skipping any classes."
Ryoma chuckle as Tezuka carry him and then his bury his face and hide his face in Tezuka shadow. He didn't ask why Ryoma acting like this but he knew very well by just smelling it, the smell of blood. Something must have happen since he sees Yuuta suddenly running out from the building and he knew very well something happen. Feeling worry if Yuuta knew.
"You can always talk to me if you have any problem Ryoma."
"If I tell you I'm dead." Ryoma cough.
-Garden-
Eiji give an evil smile as he was taking pictures and he was lucky to take some picture at a perfect timing.
"I got you this time Tezuka."
Oishi sigh as he sees Eiji keep taking picture he doesn't bothered to look since he's busy reading his book. He makes sure that this time he doesn't lost Eiji at his sight since he doesn't want to be punishing if Eiji didn't come again.
"Eiji it's time to go to sleep."
"Alright!" Eiji shouted happily.
"You seem to be in a good mood." Oishi asks, Eiji whistle pretend not to hear it, he cross his hand and began to walk away with Oishi at his side.
'You're going to get it this time Tezuka.'
-Fuji household-
"Yuuta, why don't you eat anything? Did something happen that you don't want to talk about." Fuji asks, Yuuta didn't look at his brother eyes, he was feeling very guilty.
"Do you love Ryoma really much brother?" Yuuta asks.
Fuji blush and nodded, he at his little brother head. "Keep this a secret from them; I had caused enough trouble in this family already. Okay Yuuta?"
"If that what makes you happy then, I will keep it a secret. You owe me brother." Yuuta didn't smile all since he knew his brother had sharp eyes. "Just don't regret this brother."
Fuji nodded and pats his brother head. "Just remember to eat." Then he left leaving Yuuta that is still on the couch, he let the paper fell down from his hand and began to stroke his hand.
"This will get ugly if mom and dad knew this and importantly I'm part of this."
-Dorm-
He slowly laid Ryoma on the bed, seeing the little boy had already fell asleep, he wipe the remaining tears from his eyelids. He then covered Ryoma with the blanket and turn off the light and had no intention to wake up longer, he feel very tired walking in such a long distance.
"Brother….." Ryoma mumble in his sleep, Tezuka sit at the side of Ryoma bed curious of what Ryoma is saying. "Brother…"
'He had a brother? I thought that there was only one child.'
"Take me away, don't leave me alone. I don't want to be alone."
"Ryoma….." Tezuka took Ryoma hand and held it. "You're not alone, I'm here."
Ryoma body began to relaxed somehow and fell to deep sleep as Tezuka keep repeated the word. "You're not alone."
-Airport-
"This place changes so quickly, there use to be lots of tree here." The young man smile as he looks around realized that he had attract lots of intention due to his good face and was wearing shade.
"Are you sure we were in a right place." His friend asks.
"Of course, I had grown up here more than a year, this is a place where I was born and was taken away to a random family."
His friend wears his hat, the sun was strong and he tries his best not letting his skin make contact with it. "Can we hurry up and finish this; Japan is not exactly y favorite place. I much prefer Britain."
"Sorry…." He winks. He then looks up at the blue sky remembering his childhood. "I'm coming Ryoma."
