Chapter 2
LAST TIME
"HIROSHI!!!!" I yelled as loud as I possibly could. He came around the corner at top speed.
"What's the Shin-..." he paused, "what is the matter with Usagi?" he questioned as he arrived near they car.
"She is hurt! It's her back!" I stated frantically hoping he could hurry and help her. There had been to much death and pain as it was.
"Hurry, get out here and help me pick her up. I can take her to my spot here. It is clean and will give us room to work!" With that the two boys headed towards a small cabin like place in the woods nearby the junkyard.
NOW
The two boys grunted slightly as they picked up their sister and headed the short distance to the shed that Hiroshi had claimed his own. The Ford pick-up was left behind for it couldn't fit through the narrow pathway that led to the shed.
Shingo looked up at the shed with suspicious eyes, 'this can't possibly be Hiroshi's he such a neat freak and this looks like it has been abandoned for years… is it even safe?' Sure enough, though, Hiroshi led the group towards the shed.
"Hiroshi," Shingo called worriedly' "is that thing even stable!"
"Quite Shingo," he said back stiffly and continued when Shingo looked like he was about to complain, "I know that it doesn't look like much but trust me it is perfectly safe."
Shingo continued to look at it speculatively until they reached the inside. It looked a lot like Hiroshi's room at home, all neat and tidy and everything. It made Shingo breathe easier in something that was familiar.
"Hurry Shingo! Over there on the table," Hiroshi directed with his voice instead of hands since they were occupied, "put her face down so no pressure is put on her wounds."
The brothers gently placed her on the on the table and Hiroshi busily got to work on fixing her up, Shingo didn't bother to help for he knew that he would only get in the way, he did say to watch and pray his sister would be okay.
Hiroshi slowly peeled away Usagi's outfit, which was caked in blood. He had hurriedly grabbed his tool kit so he could examine the cut further, with his magnifying glass out he gasped at the deep wounds that glass had scored along her back.
"Hey, Shingo, come here."
"What is it? Will she be all right?" he asked as he ran over anxiously.
"Take these," Hiroshi said handing a needle and thread in his direction, "and sterilize them."
"All right." Shingo stammered out and rushed to the bathroom.
When he returned the two began to diligently work on the 'patching up' of their sister.
Hours later they collapsed in exhaustion on a nearby old sofa. Shingo fell asleep almost instantly, but Hiroshi stayed awake he had A LOT to think about and most of it considered his family.
'Who the hell where those people and what the hell did they want with our family? How did Usa keep up so long with cuts like those? And why the hell didn't she tell us I could have gotten here faster! Damn it!'
He was mad and like hell he shouldn't be. With both of his parents dead and them left with no support he would be the one to take care of everyone and everything.
'What are we going to do? We don't know any body who would be willing to take in three kids.' A tear slid down Hiroshi's cheek as he buried his head in his hands and soft sobs racked his body.
The silence was unbearable to Usagi as she lay face down on the uncomfortable surface. That is until she heard soft pain filled sobs echo throughout the small building. She lifted her head slightly to see who was crying.
'That sounds to deep to be Shingo…hmmmmm' Usa thought as she moved silently off the table.
'Why in the hell did they put me on the damn tab…' she stopped for she had to sharply breathe in air to muffle the sure scream that would have escaped if she hadn't. The wounds on her back were still sore and tender and quick movements, as newly discovered, and would bring a consequence of immense pain.
The small gasp was not as quiet as Usagi perceived it to be and Hiroshi looked up from his position with a watery forlorn expression on his face.
"U-Usagi are you all right." He stuttered out embarrassed by his tears.
"Yeah," Usagi said getting up and sitting next to Hiroshi, "how are you doing?"
"All right I guess."
Usagi enveloped him in a weak yet comforting bear hug and said "It is all right for you to cry Hiroshi. We both know holding in the tears will make it worse. Let it out, the pain will get better I know it will. AS long as we're together it will be all right." By the end of Usagi's speech both were crying waterfalls. More tears was shed that night than the blood of the slaughtered.
