Pairing: SenRu

Summary: When everybody thought they were perfect and all something hunts them from the past and continues until they finally die, a disease that could change their life forever. How can they continue to risk their love for each other?

A/N: Yehey! After a long time by the way this should have been my very first SenRu however I decided not to continue it yet I guess something urged me to just continue and now post it. I know the plot may sound complicating and all at least both of them could die together and all not only one like the others. I hope you like it. You can also review my other SenRu which I'm trying to finish the third chapter 'Never too Late' and if you like Saiyuki kindly review 'Forbidden Love' which I'm having the hardest time to continue the second chapter cause it has prologue like this one. So I'll cut my notes to not pull you back, you can read now. I hope you like it and please review. Thank you very much.

Risk' in Love

By: KaedeRukawa_kill

Prologue

~~~~~~~~~~~

**start**

Everyday was another ordinary day where love can never be conquered. The love that pursues to continue and risk everything until it finally reigns. However something unusual can happen this day back when everybody thought they were the last to be suspected of something their appearance perfectly conceals.

--Rukawa Kaede-- [A/N: First part about Rukawa…^__^;;]

An ten year old version of Rukawa Kaede arrived from school headed to the kitchen to get some snacks and was pissed off to find his parents doing the usual thing…

fighting…

"Why are you always fighting? I hate you, I hate everything!" Rukawa shouted to his parents.

Next thing Rukawa knew he felt a huge pressure squeezing his chest then total darkness as he passed out.

"Go…men, Kaede…go…men…na…sai…" Rukawa's mother tearfully whispered as she caught the now unconscious Rukawa Kaede in her arms.

Finally, after an hour, Rukawa opened his eyes and found himself at the hospital.

"Otoosan…okaasan…doo shitan desu ka?" (Father…mother…what happened?) Rukawa asked his parents.

"Err…it was nothing really," his mother replied giving him a reassuring smile.

However Rukawa knew something was very wrong here yet he didn't further ask his mother, he will find out soon.

His thoughts were interrupted as the door creaked open and Dr. Mada entered the room.

"Kaede your awake?" Dr. Mada said.

The boy just nodded and greeted the doctor softly.

"May I talk to your parents outside?" Dr. Mada asked.

Rukawa nodded in approval and so his parents together with the doctor went outside his room to talk about something important.

~~Outside~~

"Doo shita ka?" (How was it?) Rukawa's father asked.

"Gomen nasai…" Dr. Mada said looking a little downcast.

"Wakarimasen" (I don't understand.) Mrs. Rukawa said looking worriedly at the doctor.

"Your son…has a serious health problem and the only way to help him is to make him happy that should keep his life to the fullest," the doctor replied.

Mr. And Mrs. Rukawa looked pale and guilty because of their useless fight they forgot they had a son and now he has a serious illness.

"Nan desu ka?" Mr. Rukawa asked.

"He has a…heart disease," the doctor replied.

"Arigato and onegai don't tell anything to Kaede," said Mrs. Rukawa despite he urge to break down and cry.

"Wakarimasu," (I understand.) the doctor replied.

Mrs. Rukawa wiped every single trace that she was crying before they entered the room again and act normally as possible.

~~After a week~~

Rukawa thought everything was becoming to perfect to be true since he came out of the hospital a week ago. His parents were acting weirdly around him specially.

He had just came home when he found an unusual letter posted in their refrigerator and dedicated to him.

//Dear Kaede,

I know this make shock you, we (otoosan and okaasan) are very sorry, we never meant to hurt you but if we continue pretending we might just not control ourselves and this could affect you badly. We sent some money in your account and will continue to send some money for your needs. We will leave you and we will stay in Europe until we finally settle our usual fights. It is up to you now to decide, study hard. I know you are to young but we can't wait forever.

We are truly sorry but we have to go, this is only way we could save you, the only way we could make you live and the only way to settle our fight. We love you so much.

Truly yours,      

Otoosan and Okaasan//

"You think you know everything, you think I can still live? When you just killed me because of your selfishness, you never did love me, words and money is never enough…" Rukawa whispered as tears started falling from his eyes as the truth dawned to him.

--Sendoh Akira-- [A/N: Second part about Sendoh…^__^;;]

An eleven-year old Sendoh Akira was watching anime when he heard something from his mother's room. He hurriedly went there and was shocked to find his mother clutching the bandage of her newly operated head. [A/N: head? @_@…never mind I'll edit it soon if I remember correctly…^_^;;]

"Ogenki desu ka, okaasan?" Sendoh asked his mother.

"Genki desu…my head just hurts a little," his mother replied.

Sendoh headed back to the living room to continue watching.

His mother couldn't control the piercing pain he felt in her head then nothing as she passed out completely and fell on the floor.

Sendoh heard the loud thud and immediately went to look for his mother and saw her motionless and lying on the floor. He ran to the phone and called an ambulance.

Minutes later an ambulance arrived and his mother was brought to the nearest hospital however she was dead on arrival.

Sendoh cried after discovering that his mother has already died and nobody knew how he would grow now when his father died when he was still six years old because of a car accident.

The doctors and his mother's friends had pity especially to Akira and decided to pay the bill of Mrs. Sendoh's burial.

Luckily a huge amount of money was found in Mrs. Sendoh's account to pay for Akira's bills if ever he won't be cured of her tumor.

Sendoh Akira could still remember every pain his mother felt and how his mother told him how much she was suffering. Akira just smiled at his mother's grave happy that she would in heaven together with his father and that she wouldn't suffer anymore. Yes, he cried but he knew everything would be fine, he didn't want to see or hear his mother suffering again. He would rather suffer for those he loves very dearly and surely he wanted to risk everything just for them.

--Normal POV-- [A/N: Not as if that was all POV just that after that everything will be POV hehe…better continue the last part ^__^;;]

Rukawa Kaede didn't know that he had this very dangerous and complicated sickness. He didn't know what destiny or fate awaits him. He became the cold Rukawa after his parent's disappearance and concealed his true self. He knew something dangerous can happen to him and waited for that time it may happen again and surely if that happens he'll look for the answers. The answers he never knew, the one his parents kept from him. Yet he didn't knew if love will ever affect that life of his, the risk is just about to begin.

Sendoh Akira never knew that something from their ancestors passed until it stops and continues until its goal is completed. He moved on after his parents death and became the happy-go-lucky person still finding that someone that he will surely protect, that someone that he can risk his very own life. He never knew it was just distances away and the risk will be the only answer. Nobody knew if he can still conquer that loved one of his despite what may happen next.

A/N: At last finished, I am so happy. For suggestions kindly review I will just read them and if it fits the story I'd write them ofcourse. By the way kindly tell me in the review if you like Rukawa, Sendoh or both of them to die but if you don't like any just tell me you don't want any of them to die. I'm counting them so I'd kill the one that has the most that is. Thanks and don't forget to write why you want to kill him or just simply write them or should I say type. Ok bye bye. Please review also the other one. Thanks!!!
