Endless Road Chapter Five


"I want to know the story about this!!" Arashi stands up and sped up towards Hanabishi house. "I know Recca-sama will have a good explanation for this! What the heck my mother's doing at this picture!! They are looks like a 'happy family'! I can't accept it!!" He shouted angrily.

Ranki and Enki try to do their best to stop the short-tempered Arashi.

"Arashi! Calm down!" Enki snapped him. He grabbed Arashi's arm and pulled him to the terrace. He forced Arashi to sit on the chair.

"Be patience! Maybe it's not like your thought! Don't judge your mother just from the photo!" Enki turned his head to Ranki, who carried the box full of albums at her hands. Enki put one album and open it. "Let's see another album! Maybe we can found some photos which had any link to that one, and could give better explanation about it!"

Arashi sighed. But he took another album and opened it impatiently. Suddenly he froze. Ranki moved closer him to know what photos that make him act like that. And she gasps.

"Oh!" The girl closed her mouth with her hand. Enki heard her gasp and quickly turned his head to see them. He saw Arashi's just silence but his face was angry. Enki took off the album and he saw some pictures that made him shiver.

The pictures show Fuuko with the silver haired boy. Some pictures of Fuuko, the child and Tokiya. Picture of Tokiya and the child, Fuuko at bed carried a baby with Tokiya, Tokiya carried a baby. A little boy learns to walk with Fuuko helping him, Fuuko hugged a three years old boy at his birthday party, and many more. Most of the picture showed Fuuko, Tokiya, and the child together. A happy family, for everyone can see.

"I can't believe! I smell something strange here! Why did my mother…!" Arashi can't continue his words. He buried his face at his hands. "Masaka…damn!"

"Arashi…" Ranki hugged him to made Arashi calm down. She looks at her twin. "Maybe we should ask Otousan, Enki?" asked her. Enki nodded slowly.

"But I'm afraid that he won't tell us. Adult people usually have their own secret. And they never let us to know." He sighed.

"But he must! I need to know! What's my mother's relationship with Tokiya Mikagami? All I know is only that my mother never married with anyone except my father!" Arashi screamed but it stopped by Enki's slap.

"I said, calm down!! We have no doubt that aunt Fuuko is never married with anyone else but uncle Raiha!! But these pictures are taken 17 years ago! Both of us aren't born yet, so we have no information about that! Come on; don't be so negative to your own mother!! Maybe they have taken pictures together as a friend!!"

"Oh yeah? Why we don't find any pictures of them with Yanagi-okusama? Or maybe with somebody else? Three are too much for this case, you know?" Arashi smirked bitterly. Taking deep breath, he asked Enki.

"Enki, you're the person who knows about Hokage more than us. You know the history about old Hokage since 400 years ago, and the new Hokage, you know about the member of Hokage clan one by one, and you know very well about our leaders"

"So?"

"I want to ask you…" Arashi's voice was calm. But his eyes still shows anger mode.

"Spill out. Is it about The Hokage leaders?" Enki raise his eyebrows, waiting.

"Who is Tokiya Mikagami's wife?"

Enki get silence for a moment. Ranki holds her breath. Wait for Enki's answer. But she doubts Enki could give any answer. The story about Tokiya Mikagami is a rare story. Recca often tell them the story about the Ura Butou Satsujin tournament in the past. About five members of the team, off course included. But they prefer to hear the story directly from the members themselves. Like Fuuko, Domon, or Kaoru. They never met Tokiya Mikagami so they didn't know the details about who's him.

The four members, except Tokiya Mikagami, now are the leaders of Hokage's clan, Recca as the highest leader as Enjutsushi, and Raiha from Uruha as the vice-central leader. The others leads Hokage clan at some place in a whole Japan, such as Ishijima Domon as Hokage leader at Akita, Koganei Kaoru with his wife Morikawa Ganko as Hokage leaders at Kyushu, Kurei Mori as the leader of International Hokage, et cetera. But the central Hokage basically in Tokyo, at Recca's hand.

Tokiya Mikagami is a mysterious person. The Hokage teens never met him. All they know is Mikagami Tokiya was one of the most powerful and strongest people at Hokage team. He's not only analytical and persuasive, but also great at battle. Tokiya Mikagami always uses Ensui, one of the high level madougu. And the last information about him is that he moved to Indonesia with his son, must be the child in photos, 17 years ago.

No explanations about the mother of the child, or Mikagami's wife. Maybe she died when gave birth of the child, or divorced or else, they don't know. But if he had a wife, why there is no any photo about his wife, or at least their wedding pictures?

Enki shook his head slowly. His eyes pointed at the floor.

"I don't know. I've never heard that he was married with someone…"

"Oh, great! Now, no reason to holds me ask Recca-sama!" Arashi stand up and grabbed the album. He walked with his highest speed to go upstairs. He wants to meet Recca-sama, the leader of Hokage clan.

Ranki face her twin.

"Have you told him our parents had gone to uncle Kurei's mansion in Quebec for a week?"

"Kuso!" grumbled Arashi at his room. He can't ask anything since Recca-sama hasn't back to Japan yet. He's too reluctant to ask his parents. But he felt peevishly.

Arashi have no doubt that his parents are in love each other. And he loves his family too, but why the photos do exist? It seems that his mother is not only belongs to him! He can't accept if his mother…

Arashi bumped his head at the pillow.

"Maybe I should shut my mouth, as long as there is nothing happen to my family, I'll be calm down and pretend to didn't know anything!" he talked to himself, and then fallen into undreamed sleep.

Two months later,

Raiha took a cup of tea and sipping it in a minute. In front of him, Fuuko sit down quietly. Raiha took a deep breath before talk.

"Don't you think now is the time to tell him?" he started.

"To tell who and what?" Fuuko stared her eyes at Raiha.

"Tell Arashi about…his brother, Tokio?"

"How?"

"Emh, call him here and talk with him, I guess…"

"Not that easy, Raiha." Fuuko replied coldly. "Do you think its okay for him if we told him that he has an older brother whom he never knew?" She shook her head. "Why?" Raiha sighed.

"Just to anticipate, if they return to Japan, so Arashi won't get over-reacted or else with his brother's existence. Even they are not brothers from one father; they have link of blood from you."

"I appreciate your reason, but have you ever thinking about Arashi's thoughts against me if he knows that his mother have another child with another man that I never married to? I can't bear it." Fuuko held up her hands at front. Gesturing her husband that she will not going to talk more.

Once again Raiha took a deep breath and closed his eyes. Then he stands up. "Okay, we can postpone this talk until the certain time or until Arashi has been grew up enough to know the story." He decided. He smiled softly to Fuuko. And he left to work.

Two weeks later,

The doorbell rang. Arashi opened it.

And he saw a tall, very handsome silver haired young man stand in front of the door. He wore a light blue polo shirt, with black denim jacket, and black trousers.

"Donata desu ka?" Arashi asked him. He remembers the looks of this man but he can't find the memories about who's him. The silver haired young man looks at Arashi's face with his light purple eyes, which half covered by his silver hair and smiled.

"Sumimasen ga, kore wa Kirisawa no uchi desu ka?" he asked Arashi. Arashi just nodded. But his mind worked hard to remember where is he saw this man's face. Is he a model of some sort of magazine? Maybe he had seen him at the tube? Or at Ranki's wallet? Photos of some good looking guys always find their way into her wallet.

"I want to meet Kirisawa Raiha, and my mother. Are they at home?"

"Excuse me? Yes, Kirisawa Raiha is at home, but I have no idea about your mother. I mean, at this home only three people live here, my father, my mother and I." Arashi felt his heart throbbed with uneasiness while his eyes met the young man's light purple eyes.

The silver haired man smiled again at him.

"I have no doubt that my mother's here. This is Kirisawa's house, right? So Kirisawa Fuuko must be living here."

Arashi felt his heart beat getting faster. It can't be…no, it can't be!

He put a name card from his pocket and gives it to Arashi. The younger boy took the card with his shivered hand and read it.

Mikagami Tokio

Arashi's legs lost their strength to stand up. Now he remembers who the guy in front of him is. Mikagami Tokio. He must be the son of Mikagami Tokiya. The silver haired boy at the photos they found at Hanabishi's warehouse a couple of months a go. The little boy carried on Fuuko's hands. What the heck he's doing here?!

"Who is the guest, Arashi?" Fuuko's voice comes from Arashi's back. Make him back to reality. He turned his body to see his mother's reaction and moved to the border of door side to make way for her.

Fuuko stand up and froze for a moment. It looks like she can't believe who's the person in front of her. But a seconds later a wide smile blooms at her face.

The silver haired man smiled back at Fuuko. "Mom…!" The young man called her.

"TOKIO!!!" Fuuko screamed at him and then she hugged Tokio tightly in motherly way. Tokio hugged her back heartily. "I miss you Tokio!! Where've you been? I miss you so much! Kamisama! Is this a dream?!" Fuuko cried in happiness when they broke their hugs.

"I miss you too, mom! It's hard to survive for years without you! And finally we're back to Japan! How long I've been waiting for the chance to meet you again!" Tokio grabbed his mother's hand tightly.

No longer, Raiha come out to see what noise in front of the house is. And he surprised when he sees Tokio.

"Tokio?! Are you Tokio? Oh my! You have been grown up! I can't believe you are the little boy that I carried at one hand 17 years ago! Are you by yourself? Where is your father?" Raiha greets him.

"Oh! My father now is at uncle Recca's residence. We've just arrived here this morning. We went to aunt Mifuyu's grave first, and then I decided to visit you!"

And suddenly he remembers something.

"Uncle Raiha, the boy that I have just met few minutes ago here, is that your son?" Tokio asked him.

"You mean, Arashi?" Raiha turned his head around to find the boy.

"He's just going outside when I hugged mom, so, I have a little brother? And his name is Arashi?" Tokio look at Raiha's face, which suddenly changed into curious. And get back to normal at five seconds.

"Let him be, he'll be back at evening, now let's come in and tell us about your life at Indonesia!" Raiha tapped Tokio's shoulder and invited him to in.

Arashi had gone.

Arashi ran as fast as he could. To Hanabishi's house. He wanted to meet Ranki and Enki. They must to know that his suspicion was proof. He must talk with Recca-sama and ask him about who Mikagami Tokiya is and what his relationship against his mother is. About who's Mikagami Tokio and why did he called Fuuko, 'mom'?!!

A minutes later he reach Hanabishi's house. Ignoring the servant who telling him that Recca now having a guest, he jumps to the guest room.

"Recca-sama!!! Please tell me about who is Mikagami Tokiya!!" screamed Arashi, at the same time he battered the door to opened it. Recca, and Yanagi were gasped at his act. Without looking around him, Arashi walk towards Recca, and knelt down in front of him.

"Recca sama! Please, tell me about him!!" Arashi bowed to Recca.

"About who? What's happen to you, Arashi? Hey, lift up your head!!" Recca ask him surprisingly. Arashi lifted up his face.

"About Mikagami Toki…" his words cut off when he saw a man who sat at Recca's side. His eyes met the freezing stare from the man's piercing blue eyes.

"Why don't you ask me directly? I'm sure that I know about him more than anyone in the world." the man said coldly.

Arashi felt his body lost the strength to survive, he shivered and froze. His mouth and tongue were muted. The cold sweat started down on his forehead. His eyes blinked. And with his last energy he whispered.

"Mi…Mikagami Tokiya…?!"
