Mourning Kohji
Shuu has feelings too

Akai Shuichi: 15 Years Old

He couldn't believe it. Not when he heard it from his parents. Not when he heard it from his uncle and aunt. Not even when he saw it on the news. "Funeral? What funeral?"

"For your cousin, Kohji," Tsutomu informed.

"But Kohji's not dead,"

Mary and Tsutomu exchanged concerned looks. "Shuichi…he's been dead for a week,"

"No he hasn't," Shuichi denied. "The reason why he hasn't spoken to anyone since the tournament is because he lost and is sad right now,"

"Shuu," Eleven year old Shukichi tried to restrain himself from crying. "K…K-Kohji's dead and…and we need to accept that,"

"He's not dead!" Shuichi snapped. "He wasn't ill when he left! He was completely healthy!"

"The cause of death is still unclear," Tsutomu told him.

"Then…if he really is dead…" Shuichi couldn't stop the tears from flowing. "Why hasn't the murderer been caught!?"

"That's why I'm going to head to the US to investigate his death," Tsutomu claimed. "Amanda Hughes bodyguard, Asaka, had disappeared so he is the prime suspect,"

Haru walked up to Shuichi and hugged his legs, unable to reach his torso. "It's gonna be okay, Pierrot," 'I'm sorry…I was unable to save Kohji. I'm too weak and nobody would believe a baby. I'm sorry…'

Akai Shuichi: 30 Years Old

Akai had not returned home, worrying Akemi and leading her to call Haru. "It's not like him to stay out this late without warning and I know he's not currently on any case right now,"

"Akemi, I'm unsure if it would be a good idea for you to comfort him or give him space at the moment,"

"Did something happen to him?" Akemi asked.

"I…Akemi, today is the fifteenth anniversary of Haneda Kohji's death. He was our cousin,"

"Oh…" Akemi said. "Is he…is he always like this? For the past three years, he was always spending this day somewhere else,"

"He'll eventually come home. He doesn't want to be a mess in front of you or Michael,'

As if it were a summoning spell, the apartment door opened and Akai staggered inside. Akemi scrunched her nose at the heavier than usual scent of cigarettes and alcohol, glad that Michael was sleeping in the other room. She ended her call with Haru and walked over to Akai. "Shuichi-kun?"

"'kemi…d' ya really love me?" Akai slurred, staggering to the couch.

"Of course I love you," Akemi replied and fetched a glass of water. "Drink this. You're drunk,"

"Why?" Akai chugged the water down in a few gulps. "'m bad…'m naw good…Don't deserve you…"

"Shuichi…"

"'m too weak…" Akai broke down into sobs. "Can't protect…too weak…"

"Shuichi, you're not weak! You're strong!" Akemi told him. "Everyone in the FBI thinks so! Even the organization's boss thinks you're a big threat!"

Akai looked to her with sad eyes. "I couldn't save Kohji…I can't keep you and Mike safe…"

"You were only fifteen years old," Akemi put her hands on his shoulders and forced him to look into her eyes. "You didn't know that your cousin would be killed. When…when my parents died, I was unable to save them. I was seven years old. Now, even at twenty three years old, I couldn't even save my sister from the organization's talons,"

"Akemi—"

"So don't go saying that you can't keep me and Mike safe because of Kohji's death," Akemi said. "We'll both keep Michael safe, together,"


Yeah, Akai got drunk. I decided to show the emotional side of him in this HaruVerse short.
