Six months have passed since the incident and everything in the household have gone wrong. Shun kept himself locked in his room avoiding contact with any person in the house as much as possible. He wanted to live alone for a while, scared that he might also end up placing Shuichi's life in danger. He also feared that he might have placed his mother and sister in danger. No, he did not want that and that is why he placed himself only to the comforts and the solitary existence of his room.

Shun observed the family through his window. He usually sees Shuichi go out of the house to study and then come back after dismissal—almost by 5 in the afternoon. Private School Teaching has been great help for the boy and he's getting smarter everyday—of course based on the information that Shuichi gave all of them with evidence the so called report card.

Shun was proud, as a matter of fact, very proud. Shun managed to finish high school as well. He was taking advanced courses in management and business at the age of 15. People called him a genius and they were not mistaken. In the family, he was indeed the Brains.

But Shuichi was the heart. Ever since birth, up until now…

Suzu, the arms and legs of the family, is trying very hard to act like a mother. Their mother is always in her room, sulking still mourning for the death of their father. Even after 6 months, she never got over his death.

Shun wanted to push her up and let her know that they were still with her. But he himself could not do that since somehow the barriers of his heart had forbidden him to interact with his own family. Suzu, on the other hand, is trying her best to be the mother, the woman of the house—at the age of 16 years old. She cooks dinner, cleans the house, and generally takes care of them, or rather Shuichi and Risa.

Shun does not have any plans on being a burden anyway so it never really bothered him that Suzu never served him or aided him. It was better as a matter of fact.

Shun looked out today as he heard Suzu order Shuichi out to play. Shun winced because the boy is old enough to actually manage to do things on his own. A bit too old to be ordered to play, that was what Shun thought. Shuichi should be going out with friends, joining sports, and other things.

Shun sat back down to hi bed and then lay down recklessly placing his arms under his head. He stared up at the ceiling. Slowly he closed his eyes trying to let sleep claim him for a while when all of a sudden a loud scream was heard all over the house.

Shuichi was out so he presumed that he had nothing to do something about it. Obviously, it was from one of the ladies of the house, very limited to two. He rushed downstairs to see if Suzu was the one, thinking that she probably burnt himself or broke some plates. He tore down his barriers for a while and rushed down to the kitchen only to find it empty.

The fire was turned off and the pots were left over the stove. Everything seems neat and well organized. He looked around only to find nothing but cleanliness and orderliness, but…

Where is Suzu?

He rushed back up the stairs to check on their mother. He readied himself in case the woman suddenly screams or shouts at him in anger without any reason at all. Although a part of him donned that it was somehow connected to him looking a lot like their late-father. It was not really a secret to know that the two were not having a perfect marriage—only to the media.

He sighed. Even though his mother did not need him, he would try to see if she were okay. He would try to act like the man of the house even once in a while…or rather one more time. He saw that the room of their mother was open. He gulped and then placed a hand on the knob to push the door open.

"Mom? Everything…" Shun's eyes widened as he saw what the room has become. He was for one never expecting to see this at all. His shock hindered him from continuing his statement. He stared around the room, the one that was previously white, clean and pure white room, changed into dirty, blood, and metallic red.

But what surprised him more was the scene in front of him. By his mother's bed stood the figure of his sister holding two knives, one in each hand. She is looking down at their mother who is crouched down on the bed looking pained, but still alive. Her breathing ragged and Shun could see that she was simply struggling to stay alive.

Hanging by the thread…

Shun was surprised to see his mother looking at him with pleading eyes. She was pleading for him to run.

Yes…

She was not pleading him to actually help her but she was pleading for him to run. But Shun could not. He simply raised his eyes only to reveal another set of chocolate eyes staring back at him with an intensity of fire and intensity of hatred. Shun had to take a few steps back—specifically two.

"Su-zu…" Shun whispered and saw his sister suddenly fake a surprised expression.

"Oh my! I never thought I'd actually see you again!" Suzu playfully licked the knife as she stared at the trembling form of their mother and to Shun's shocked posture. "How do you like it? This is all for you!"

"W-what?" Shun took a step forward and then suddenly rushed towards the side of their mother. "Mom…"

"Yes Shun-ni…just for you…" Suzu knelt beside him and whispered towards his ears with a smirk. "Everything was for you…"

Shun turned his head to the side only to be found face to face with his sister's expressions—an expression of murder framed by a sinister smile. Shun's eyes widened when she suddenly laced her arms around his neck with the knife behind his head. Suzu nestled her head on the crook of his neck as Shun placed his index finger in the throat of his mother to check of a pulse, as discreetly as possible. He sighed feeling a weak pulse, but at least there was life. But the other seemed to have interpreted the sigh as another thing. Suzu pushed herself away from him and smiled at him seductively.

"I knew that you always wanted me!" Suzu screamed with joy as she jumped up and down. "I knew that you love me like I. LOVE. YOU."

"What are you saying, Suzu?" Shun took a different tone that Suzu suddenly stopped jumping and looked at him seriously.

"I thought you sighed because you want me, you need me, you…" Suzu smirked as she traced her index finger down to her chin. Suzu watched with total amazement at the surprise on Shun's face.

"No, why…" Shun was shocked. How could his sister thing such vile things! "NEVER! I would never think of you that way!"

Shun expected her to suddenly stab him with all her might and expected anger to flare inside her but he was surprised at the turn of events. The girl did not even pounce on him, rather she stood there for a while as she suddenly started laughing like there was no more tomorrow. Her eerie laughter echoed around the room and around the house. Shun looked at her with fear and surprise haunting the very depths of his eyes.

Suzu kept on laughing and laughing as if something is funny. Shun tried to think hard about what could be funny but of course, he couldn't. He could not imagine what could make her laugh in a situation like this—extremely scary.

She suddenly stopped and it caught Shun's attention immediately.

"Of course dear, I know that." Suzu smiled sweetly, too sweet as a matter of fact. "But I never thought you'd be such a gullible person to think that I WANT you that way."

Shun stared dumbstruck.

"It was a joke." Suzu smiled at him.

A joke? Shun's head could not even begin to fathom or think of reasons why she would make such a poor excuse of a joke in a situation like this. Unless…

"You're insane Suzu. Why would you joke around like that?" Shun gritted his teeth, frustrated as he thought of their dying mother.

Suzu smiled wider at this comment.

"Exactly, I am insane. I'm so insane of eliminating all of you in the face of the earth." Suzu shouted suddenly angry that Shun finally got convinced that this girl is indeed, insane.

Suzu suddenly sat down on the bed and looked at the woman and the man in front of her. She simply waved the knife and got a raised eyebrow in response from Shun. She shrugged.

"The hag is dying…you better give your last words…while I prepare a knife for you to follow her." Suzu smirked and took out a lighter and lit it. Suzu suddenly took out a butcher's knife and ran it by the fire. She looked towards their mother then back to Shun. "I'm so nice…I even heated the knife for you."

And it triggered onto Shun's head as he felt a slight push from behind. He took a step back as his mother pushed him away with all her might. Shun only focused to his mother looking at her with pity and sadness flowing out of his heart. His heart wretched in pain while looking at her—broken and wilted, just like a rose. He shook his head as he got her hand in between his palms only to feel its fold and freezing skin and touch as if it only took a few moments for death to claim another one of his loved ones.

He felt the hand of his mother tighten as he looked down to her face. Her tear stained face, her expression void of any pain and the feeling of numbness as death slowly enveloped his black cloak on her life ready to blow away her candle of light. He responded by tightening his hold as well.

He saw a smile grace her face for a while as she felt the warmth of her son's hands wrap her cold palms fearing that this would be the last time she would see her oldest son and to feel him in her touch as she usually did when he was young. Tears rimmed her eyes blaming herself that the pain of her eldest son was because of her. She focused her attention too much towards the other children that she forgot about Shun. She blamed herself for it and now its too late to actually change it for the better.

"Shun…" Risa whispered in a soft voice that Shun could muster, the voice Shun remembered Risa used to sing him with a lullaby and to tuck him to bed. Shun placed a light kiss in her palm, ignoring the fact that blood smeared his face.

Risa thought it was unfair for her to treat his son that way. She had displaced her anger towards her husband. She did not want to hurt Shun at times, but he resembled Shinji too much. Shinji was not the best husband. If he were the best father to the two sons they had, he was not simply the best husband and the best father to Suzu.

She did know about the family heritage of the Shindou and their priority to the men. But it was outrageous. Shinji barely was home. But...

She did not deny the fact that Shun and Shuichi were nothing like him when it came to that. Shinji had his loving moments and it matters so much to her. But...

It was merely too late to repent now.

"Yes, mother?" He asked whispering as well.

Risa smiled warmly towards him and Shun felt all his defenses slowly break down. His mother, his long lost mother has finally, finally after many years, smiled at him like the way she did when he was still young. The smile he longed to see for a long time has finally graced the lips of his mother.

Why now? Shun could not help that thought. It was like a goodbye present. It hurt. The one thing he hoped for, he wished to see, the one thing he wished to die for, was the one thing that death would take away, that death always took away!

"I love you…" Risa whimpered as tears escaped her eyes and fell down the floor mixing with her blood.

Shun trembled as all emotions flew out of his stronghold, his heart. The biggest pain in his hart was lifted only by mere three words that his mother spoke to him at this forsaken moment. He closed his eyes and once more letting the tears fall down his face. Every word seems right but certainly the situation does not. In fear of losing another loved one, he tightened his hold on her hand and looked at her in fear.

In fear of losing her…

In fear of losing their mother…

"Forgive me…" Risa shuddered as she felt cold and her body becoming heavy. She closed her eyes trying to muster all the strength that she has. "Please save…save her…protect…protect him…please…"

"Mother, save your strength! C'mon! You can't simply leave me after that!" Shun pulled up her form into his embrace and let his clothes be stained. He looked at the woman in his arms that leaned her head on the crook of his neck and smiled slightly with all the energy left in her.

Shun simply cried this time. He buried his head in the hair of his mother whispering soothing words that never came out from his mouth ever since. It has been years…

He murmured an apology and explanations for his actions. His mother cried with him, suffering in his pain. And for once, he felt his pain being shared with another person. He was so engrossed with their current situation to notice the hovering figure behind him that of course the mother noticed.

Shun's eyes widened at the sight of a shadow overlapping his own.

"Your drama sucks. Time's up! I suggest you continue this when you meet in the afterlife!" Suzu steadily moved the knife and drove it to Shun's direction.

In that attempt, Risa pushed Shun away by leaning all her body weight causing him to tumble backward. Risa took the blow stabbing her straight to the spinal cord as pain engulfed her one last time. The shocked expression combined with sadness masked her face as Shun watched in horror. Suzu on the other hand was devoid of any emotion appearing on her face as if she had done something casually.

Shun looked as if everything went in slow motion. The knife stabbed their mother and the blood oozed out of the wound as Suzu pulled it out of her back. Their mother's broken form tumbled on the ground with a deafening thump on the ground after Suzu kicked her body. A sound that echoed in Shun's ears and a sight that repeated in his mind, flashing like it was repeating itself, mocking him…

Another one…

Dead…

Shun placed his hand to hold his head as he tried to stop everything from repeating itself. He shook his head willing for everything to be but a painful dream, a nightmare. He wished it would be and everything would be back to the way things were even if it meant that his mother still did not look at him that way. At least, she's alive.

But a voice snapped him out of his trance.

"Oh shucks, I missed. Damn that woman, she was always a pain." Suzu muttered looking at the woman who lay dead at her feet. "Oh well, next time I won't. You merely got lucky."

Shun stared at her as she looked at him with anger and hatred. She took a step forward and stopped daring him to leave. But she also knew that after what happened, Shindou Shun would never leave.

"Happy? Two down, two to go…" Suzu smiled once again, the eerie smile of both sadism and masochism.

"Why? Suzu, why?" Shun looked at his hands tainted with the blood of their mother. "Why do you do this? Why? I don't' understand? I can't understand! Mother…mother loved you very much!"

"Loved? Me?" Suzu suddenly got serious only to laugh yet again. "You can't be serious, you just can't possibly be serious." You and Shuichi were the loved ones! It was never me! That's why I had to tell that woman how utterly "evil" you are. And that's why, I have to eliminate YOU and then Shuichi once and for all!"

Shuichi…Shun's eyes widened and looked at Suzu who suddenly became thoughtful.

"On second thought, I'll probably blame all these to Shuichi. It would send him to a juvenile delinquency center and I'm sure he'll be traumatized for life. Hehe, he'll lose all his friends, even his loved ones…it would be a fate…" Suzu smirked looking at Shun whose eyes widened.

Worse than death…Shun followed her train of thought in his mind.

"Worse than death." Suzu said almost at the same time. It sent tingles down his spine at the mere thought. He looked up at the woman who simply stared down with blank emotionless eyes. Shun stood up to face her.

"You would not." Shun spoke with firmness for the first time in a few years. His brother instincts seem to arise. It irked the other instantly.

"What right would you have? You're in no position to bargain here." Suzu placed her hands on her hips looking menacingly towards the opponent.

"Take me instead." Shun suddenly saw a flick of amber gaze into the eyes of the other to stare at him questioningly. "I'll do as you please, take the blame, but spare Shuichi.

"Oh? How would you do that?" Suzu raised one fine eyebrow to look at the man in front of him with interest. Things were getting to be more interesting with this sudden change in plans and she knew that somehow it would be beneficial.

"I'll pretend I killed mom and you simply act there helpless as Shuichi tried to help you." Shun suggested finally remembering the statement his mother said about saving Suzu and protecting Shuichi. "Its bargain enough. I sacrifice my freedom, my dignity, and my life for you to slaughter. I GET the fate worse than death, but please…spare…spare Shuichi."

Suzu seemed to ponder at the thought and Shun let her. Honestly he was scared of doing this. He only wished that after this, everything would be back to normal. He wished that after this, Shuichi would forget everything. He wished that…

"Well, since you put it in such nice terms, I accept." Suzu smiled widely. She started tearing up her clothes to look tattered in front of Shun. Shun raised his eyebrows to what his sister is doing and Suzu found it annoying. "What! Isn't my body attractive enough for you?"

"I have absolutely no interest in my siblings." Shun looked away. He could not understand. He wanted to throw up feeling disgust but he had to remain passive. It was then he heard a loud 'tadaima' downstairs and a voice seeking them both…Shit…Shuichi's home…

Thoughts raced in his head once again as he feared doing his end of the bargain. But he had to or else, Shuichi would be the one suffering the pain of everything. Too young…simply too young to bear the burden

He saw Suzu suddenly yank the telephone cord out and started to inflict physical pain on herself. It was sadism in reality. Shun was stunned to what she was doing. It was beyond comprehension, beyond sanity…

But now that Shuichi's home, he had to fulfill that promise…

The promise that he made to his mother…

The promise that he made to his father…

The promise that he made to Shuichi…

The promise that he made to Suzu…

And most of all…

The promise that he made to himself…

He would protect Shuichi…and Suzu, even if…

Even if it meant…

Losing them…

Forever.

Shun was lost in thought but was snapped to reality noticing that Suzu kept on slashing herself. Amidst all the insanity and the sadistic attitude and expressions on Suzu's face, Shun knew that she's still his sister. He immediately went to her and grabbed her arm to stop her from slashing herself even more. Of course, she fought against it claiming that it's not enough yet. He had to struggle, fight against her own will. She was strong enough to be able to resist him that long but he was able to grab the knife away only in time to hear the door being opened. Shun glanced a little but turned back down slouching in defeat.

Shuichi saw him, knife at hand, a mangled body on the other, and the body of a slashed and totally beaten up woman at his feet. Shun's bathing in red water and the telephone cord yanked out of it's socket. The room is painted in red and the metallic scent of blood scattered all through out the entire room.

What else is there?

The perfect scene of the crime is presented to the victim…

Shun trembled a little but his eye rested on Suzu's who suddenly smirked at him and her eyes telling him that they had a deal. She showed him a Swiss knife at hand warning him that if he did not fulfill his end of the bargain, then she might as well kill Shuichi and then commit suicide. And the girl knew very well that he would not like that at all since they both knew how important Shuichi is to Shun.

Therefore, he had to perform the act once and for all, to save both of them, even if it means he had to abandon who he is, just to make sure that he save the two of them, then…

So be it…

He looked at Shuichi, with a maniacal smile. The most that he could muster, and he hoped that Shuichi would buy it. As much as he hated and despised himself from performing this act, this should be done. For the two of them and for his promise…

"Okaeri…Chi-chan…"

Shuichi looked frantic and panicky as he looked at him with scorn. Shuichi now hates him, and it hurts. The one other person that you have truly loved, the one other person that you set a space in your heart, is also the one true person that would place scorn and hate towards you. Shun had to fight the urge to run to him, to cry, to tell him to run away, but Suzu's also performing very well…

Shun noticed that Shuichi's looking all over the room noticing the red water all over. Shun also knew that the boy is completely disgusted over it, who wouldn't? But the look in Suzu's eyes were enough warning for him to continue this act or else…

Don't you like it Chi-chan? Everything is painted in red now, not white...White has always been disgusting…"

"Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you love the way the room is painted?" Shun turned around and went to the broken form of their mother. "See, I even asked her to help me…"

It hurts…

His insides hurt and he wanted to vomit after saying those words. For one thing, he hates red! He damn hates the color painted on anything. And another thing, he liked white very much…just as much as he liked blue. It seems so hypocritical to actually say those words. And most of all, Shuichi looked at him as if he was such a maniac he acted himself to be…

Maybe I am…

Shun whispered words of apology to their mother as he threw her body across the room. A while ago, he was holding her and now he was rolling her body through the entire room. He placed a hand over his head and glanced for a while to the people in the room.

Shuichi was trembling with fear, anxiety, anger, and sadness but Suzu's the complete opposite. She was smiling almost near to giggling. She was simply nodding at the action and approved of his actions. But those were…painful actions in his part. Painful and guilt tripping actions…

He had to continue with the charade, he had to fool Shuichi…but…he never knew that it would have to go this far. He did not want to hurt Shuichi at all.

No, but he had to…

Suzu was threatening to kill him when Shun bumped Shuichi's head on the wall in an attempt to knock him out. As he acted that it was triggered by the words Shuichi spoke towards him…

"You look sad…" Shuichi muttered the simple words that triggered the man's anger.

Or rather, that was what Shuichi thought. It was merely the truth that hurt. If Shuichi knew that he was indeed in pain, he was indeed in sadness, then, Shuichi would know the truth and he would get hurt, therefore…

"What do you know about sadness? You, always the favorite, you who is always loved, you the perfect little boy! How dare you tell men that I am sad? You don't even have the faintest idea what that means!"

Shun wished that Shuichi would be knocked out and then that way Shun can push him out of the room and take him to a safe place before actually going to jail. That way, there would be no more blood shed and no more pain, physically for others and emotionally and mentally for him. It felt like it hurt more than it should when he did all those actions. IT felt like a thousand needles piercing his heart…

In short, it felt like…

Hell

But the boy was definitely stronger than he expected. Shuichi managed to withstand that beating only to be grabbed in the arm by Shun. Shun held the small knife and looked at the wrist of the boy. Shun wanted to push Shuichi out of the way, drag him out of the room, but instead he managed to glance at Suzu who threatened him with a knife of her own pointing at Shuichi's side.

Suzu pointed the knife she held between Shuichi and Shun knew he had no choice. Shun knew that Shuichi would not probably hear this, hear what he has to say. He planned to hit Shuichi in a non-vital vein so as to not kill him. He knew his biology, he was thankful.

The boy's probably dizzy and could not even get a straight thought in his mind. But he wished he would hear this one word.

He pulled up the younger boy's arm but before doing what he had to do, he whispered a soft set of words that he hoped somewhat wished, the boy heard. Even through the deepest parts of the unconscious, he wished Shuichi was able to understand those simple words…

He wished he heard…

Like before…

He wished he understood…

These simple words…

"I'm sorry…"

And now, he sat there in the bloody room watching Sakuya, Shuichi's best friend, finally free them from his so-called "maniacal" hands. He wished that it was over, and now it is. But that look that Sakuya gave him completely puzzled him as the police pulled him up from his position. Shun felt so numb all over and did not even look at the direction that the police. They were enumerating his rights and even asking a few questions. He simply allowed himself to be pulled up.

The looks on Suzu, Shuichi, and Sakuya's faces were enough to keep him preoccupied.

Sakuya was scary to an extent. His stare did not hold any contempt and not a single hint of anger. There was sadness and remorse, disgust, even a hint of curiosity. Shun had to admit, Sakuya is a very perceptive man. He did not hold it against him at all, but this time, he better interfere because the real murderer is out there. He hoped that at least Sakuya can take care of Shuichi and Suzu, at least that way Shun can be at peace.

Suzu simply looked at him with a smile. It was weird, as to why there were no people that actually saw her smile in anyway. It was weird to say that the people seem oblivious to her mocking remarks. Shun sighed at that instant, finally having put up with his end of the bargain. AS much as it hurt him to do those things that he did, he had to. AS much as he feared doing it, he had to. And yet, Suzu mocked him as she stepped out of the room following the stretcher that carried Shuichi…

And Shuichi's look was that of full sadness and…

Love…

Not a hint of curiosity, not even anger…and Shun hated it.

It would be easier to handle the problems if he knew Shuichi hated him. But Shuichi did not. Amidst all the pain and the problems that he gave and caused, Shuichi still loves him. And…

That was the worst punishment of all…

Knowing that the person you hurt is the person that loved you most…

Unconditionally…

And with that Shun let himself be taken to the police car and to the detention center…

As much coldness wrapped your heart…

As much barriers you placed to cover who you are…

As much pretense that you placed on…

As long as you know that there is someone out there…

Shining like the sun…

There is still a chance…

That winter may come to be…

SPRING.

Yuki closed his laptop. He had the sudden idea so he had to write it down. He did not know why, but while gazing at his lover, he managed to compose those simple words. He knew he had use of them soon.

He sighed and brushed a stray bang on Shuichi's face.

"Wake up soon, Shuichi…"
