"Suguru, when I leave."
"Momma you'll be fine."
"No I won't be hunny…..But when I leave I want you to be strong."
Suguru sniffled a bit, "where would I go? I don't have a dad….do I?"
"No that's true you do not have a dad….I don't know who he is at all, (Suguru gave a confused look) you'll understand when you are older. I want you to know that I'll always love you no matter what." A knock suddenly came to the door of the small one room apartment. "Come in" Suguru's mom said sadly.
"Ma'am you are going to have to come with us and your brother-"
"Son!" she hissed sitting up in bed.
"He'll have to go with the social worker."
"I hate the voices that haunt me all the time now." The red head spoke while looking around the bright office.
"What do the voices tell you?" the doctor asked making notes on her clipboard.
Maybe she's drawing, you are making her bored. She could care less about you all she cares about is the money. The red head's eyes shot up from the green carpeting that he was looking at. "He just said that you are probably just drawing on the clipboard and you are bored. But usually he says things like 'you're weak' and ' it's all your fault your family is gone.'"
The doctor took some more notes. "I see, there's only really one voice that stands out from them all?"
"Well I suppose that there is really only one to begin with but times he can take on a life of his own."
"What do you mean…'A life of it's own'?"
The red head raised up an eye brow and asked if she really wanted to know, when she nodded he raised his shirt up over his head exposing his chest. An audible gasp came out of the doctor's mouth when she saw what he was talking about. Rows upon rows of criss crossed slashes and hack marks. "This is what he makes me do…..I have no control over it."
Flashback
"Oni-chan!" a small voice screamed out from the doorway of the blonde haired teen's room. He woke up with a start growling at the foul sound that woke him up. "What? What the fuck do you want? Can you see I'm trying to sleep?"
"I came in to tell you that momma was leaving today for the conference and she wants you to have a happy birthday."
"Whatever twerp."
Touma thought back to earlier that week. His little sister was just that Little just a child then but now he stared at a woman far before her time. She was so tiny being five foot three and weighing only ninety-two pounds it was shocking to know that his sister was going to have a baby…..and that baby would most likely die shortly after birth since the mother is HIV positive.
"Keiko? I'm sorry about how I treated you on my birthday."
"I'm fine big brother." She stared out of her window the medicine she was on making her less hyper now. Tohma still couldn't look her straight in the eyes, he felt responsible for all this. "It's not your fault you know."
Tohma sighed a heavy sigh and sat down next to her brushing his fingers through her long emerald hair. "You know I was always jealous of this hair." He smiled.
"Really?" she turned to look into his eyes, he turned away. "I always was jealous of yours its so beautifully unique, mines olive drab. I hope my baby doesn't have my hair."
"Hope he has your eyes though."
"Hmmm, a boy?……I like that idea. I could name him Ryuichi I like that name."
Tohma laughed out loud, "Yeah only because you have the hots for Sakuma-kun."
"I do not!"
end Flashback
"Where are you taking mom?" Suguru asked sitting in the back of a black corvette between an elderly man and a woman no older than his mother.
"Suguru" the woman said calmingly "your momma is very sick and is unable to take care of herself alone."
"She's not alone she has me." Suguru cried out attempting to leave the car but was trapped between the two people.
"I know that you take great care of your mom but who takes care of you? Momma can't and soon you wont be able to care for her all by yourself….You'll be able to see her again."
Suguru sobbed into the woman chest, shaking terrible with every breath. "Where will I go…I don't have a dad."
"Your uncle will take you."
"Uncle?"
"Yes son." The man spoke up "We'll be taking you to live with your sister's brother Tohma Seguchi."
Today, my nephew is moving in with me. I've actually never met him, 11 years and his mother my baby sister had kept him away from me but now she has no choice in the matter she's going to die.
This is a bad idea. You have no clue about this child and you have no time to deal with some delinquent.
I was a delinquent, if he's one I can deal with it. Anyways I love my sister and even though she holds this against me I will care for her son, as if he was my own.
Right and when he starts to cause trouble with your band you'll kick him out just like you did with that other boy.
Don't you dare bring him into this, it's totally different he had a mother to go back to. This one doesn't.
Tohma kept the fighting between him selves until the doorbell rang out.
"Coming!" He called straightening his hat as he trudged through the spacious hallways.
"Konnichiwa." He greeted the two social workers who stood on either side of a small green haired boy with brown eyes that knew belonged to his sister.
"Seguchi-san?" the woman asked she was no older than Keiko with straight black hair down to her waist.
"Hai." He responded.
"Seguchi-san we are here to bring your nephew Suguru Fujisaki. You will be his legal guardian until further notice."
"Right." He said staring at the small boy in front of him he noticed just how much he looked like Keiko except his hair it was green but with more brown than emerald in it. "Konnichiwa Suguru-kun, I'm your uncle Tohma you'll be living with me is that alright?"
Suguru stared wide-eyed at Tohma, he had never met him before and his mother barely spoke of him. "Hai. Tohma-san?"
Tohma smiled. "Nani? You can call me Uncle Tohma if you want."
"I want to go back to see momma." Tohma looked heart broken from the small boy on the verge of tears to the duo of social workers. The social workers shook their heads 'no' said their good-byes then left for their car, leaving Tohma alone in the doorway with a tearful child.
Yeah great job baka.
Shut up!
A/N: sorry on how short my chapters are I will try to make them longer in the future but right now I think that it's best to leave it here. Yes I do know that the story is confusing right now but I promise I'm not going to be switching back and forth between present and past I'll stay solely in the present with maybe only a few peeks into why all this junk is going on mostly why Keiko dislikes her brother now. Oh, yeah Keiko hasn't died yet so maybe poor Suguru will be able to see her.
