The two brothers wandered down a long tiring path. The sun had gone down half way from where they started. Amiboshi was humming a soft tune, as it was hard to play the flute and walk. Suboshi looked ahead, tired of walking and wanted to do something…cause trouble or…or something! "Aniki..I'm bored…" He whined. Ami smiled, knowing how his brother must feel. "Please be a bit more patient. We should be coming to a town so-." He stopped and looked ahead, "That's funny…we should have seen it by now."

Suboshi stopped as well and squinted , maybe catching a glimpse of some… "Aniki..What is that?" Suboshi questioned something moving in the distance. Ami looked ahead, "I don't see anything…" Subo looked to Ami then back down the road, "But its there! Its..its..some..beast like thing!" He ran off. "Suboshi! Wait! It could be~!" Ami was cut off as he gasped, seeing his brother disappear. "Suboshi!" He ran after, looking around.

"Aniki..down hear…" A faint voice spoke from the ground. Ami looked down finding his brother in a hole, covered in mud. Ami bit his lip, trying not to laugh. Suboshi pouted and crossed his arms, "Don't you dare!" Ami knelt down sticking out a hand for Suboshi to grab on. Suboshi tried to get up but felt it was difficult and painful. "Aniki…it hurts.." He whimpered. Amiboshi jumped down and knelt down to his brother, "What does?"

"I can't stand.." Suboshi tried in vain to get up but couldn't bare it. Ami lifted him gently but set him down as his younger sibling cried out. Suboshi's ankle was a bit bloody and red, which caught Ami's eye. He sighed and looked worried, "Suboshi…I think you may have sprained something." Subo blinked then laughed lightly, "Nah its just the way I fell!" He tried to climb out but Ami ended up pushing his younger to get there then jumped up himself.

"Suboshi listen to me. You better rest here for a while and let me take care of that before it gets infected." Ami said sternly. Subo looked at his brother then down at the ground and nodded. Ami ripped a piece off his shirt then placed a stick on Subo's ankle and tied it. Suboshi bit his lip, vowing not to show pain, but it was really killing him. He wanted to scream out but tired to be calm, to show he was able to be strong.

Ami smiled and hugged him comfortingly. "It will be over soon…" Ami whispered lovingly. Then towards the sky he set his gaze seeing the sun almost setting. "We should red here." Suboshi shook his head then tried to stand. "I'm fine we can get to the village!" Ami frowned slightly, "Suboshi sit down." Suboshi, unexpectedly, glared at him and began yelling. "I'm fine! Stop treating me like a child! I can do what I want to!"

"I-I'm sorry.." Amiboshi absorbed those words quickly with his heart aching. He didn't mean to get his younger brother angry…He just wanted him to be safe. Suboshi, with tears in his eyes, half shocked at himself, started limping away.

Amiboshi stood up and followed a distance away, feeling as if he had done awful.

Further down, further into the night; Suboshi couldn't stand the pain any more and just fell. Ami ran to him as quickly as possible. "Suboshi…please rest." Suboshi looked up at his older brother and just cried, "You…I yell at you and you act as if nothing happened.." Ami smiled sadly, "I don't care…you're my brother and I will always love you." Suboshi curled up in his brother's arms.

Amiboshi gently lifted his brother into his arms and walked on, carrying him down the path. Suboshi looked up at his brother's kind face and smiled softly.

As the darkness filled the night; Ami was growing tired and Suboshi was getting restless. He kept kicking by accident but Ami never said anything. It brought a smile to Ami's face when he was reminded of their past. Suboshi always kicked Ami out of the bed and when Ami finally got his own bed, Suboshi cried.

There was a good shady tree near by which Ami took this opportunity to sit under. He laid Suboshi down gently on the grass with his head in his lap. A kiss was placed on the younger one's forehead then blue eyes were taken to the clear midnight sky. Stars were shining brightly, one most of all which was just above the two.

"Aniki…" Suboshi whispered. Ami looked down and smiled as he saw his brother slightly awake. "Is there something you need?" Suboshi nodded slightly. "Never leave and always love me…" Ami held his hand gently, "I promise like I always have." Suboshi closed his eyes. "Oh one more thing…I love you too...Aniki." Amiboshi looked up to the stars and made a wish…

Just looking at your sleeping face,

It's so gentle

It almost makes me cry

I wish I could convey

These warm feelings in my heart, in any way.

I wish..
