Broken Strings Chapter 2
I-No stares at the assembled warriors, daring them to say something. The quiet that feels the air is thick and almost solid, like fog. Ky and Sol where staring at her, mouth's open wide. Jam, Millia, and Johnny where checking on little May, while dizzy and the others stood their dumb founded. I-no composes herself and looks at Sol, her eyes still slightly glazed. "Don't look so surprised you bastard….you never wrote so you wouldn't know…but he is our child!!!" Sol blinks and looks at Ky and everyone, not knowing what to do.
"I…I….I-No, why didn't you tell me? I...I would have…have…",Sol muttered. "You would have what, yelled at him for dressing as a girl? Called him a fag or a freak? Beat him black and blue for playing with bears and yo-yos? What Sol...what would you have done!!??" I-No pants loudly, her anger and grief completely controlling her at this point. Sol does the only thing he can….he walks over and hugs I-No, trying to comfort her as best he can, ignoring the blows she rains on his chest and holding her tighter when the sobs over take her.
Ky after seeing this walks over to Sol and, after hesitating briefly, places a comforting hand on his shoulder, squeezing gently. "I…I'm here old friend. Our war is over….I'm just here for you….you both. Let me know what I can do to help and I'll do it…just let me help ,please."
Sol slowly opens his eyes and stares at Ky, the tears rolling down his cheeks. "Find the person who killed my son Ky…find them before I do."
