As The Sun Rises
As the Sun Would Rise
And The Moon Will Fall
Everything That Happened
Will Just Be A Distant Memory…
Gojyo huddled up as he held his knees close to his chest as the rain continued to fall. Droplets touching him on his body he couldn't believe what just happened, he couldn't believe what his older brother just did…
He was still in shock, as his eyes were wide in fright and disbelief. Why did that just happen, why did he do it, Why did Jien do it. It didn't make since…his brother loved his mother very much.
Why would he protect him by killing their mother, what would that achieve…
FLASH BACK
Gojyo slides back to the wall as he saw his mother coming closer to him with an axe in hand. After trying to chop him up in his own room, he knows that he has no where else to run too. No where else to go to, no one else to protect him.
"If only you didn't exist…" his mother muttered as she continued to cry. Gojyo looked at her, his check scarred as the blood dripped down off his face.
He knew that this was going to happen it was only a matter of time before she reached this limit and tries to kill him. He knew that there was nothing else he could do to stop her.
"Then I could've been happy…" she whimpered as she raised the axe over her head. Gojyo closed his eyes if his death would stop her crying, if his death would make her happy again then he was alright with dying.
"AGH!" Gojyo's eyes went wide open as he looked up seeing the woman's body slump down unto the floor blood being drained from her body. Her eyes plain white, dead.
"Huh…wha?" Gojyo looked up to see his older brother, the one that their mother would always love best, was standing there with a sword in his hand, blood dripping off of it. Gojyo doesn't get it…why…why would he save him?
"…Why did you do that Jien?" Gojyo yelled. Why did he do it, why did he let him live, why did he kill his own mother all these questions continued to spin around in his head as he didn't know how to react.
"Run…" Gojyo looked at him with his eyes still in shock. Jien just walked over to the door as he kicked it open and turned back to Gojyo.
"Just run Gojyo, just run as far away from here as you can!" Was Jien going to kill him if he didn't? He wasn't going to take any chances. He jumped unto his feet and ran off into the distance not daring to turn back.
As he entered into the rain that smacked against his face as he continued to run ahead. He stopped at a hill way as he tried to catch his breath; he placed one foot at the edge until he toppled down through grit and branches as he fell in to a ditch.
"AGH!" Gojyo just stayed there for a moment as his back was smacked down hard unto the ground. He looked up into the darkened clouds and its rain bullets spluttering unto him as he began to whimper as he looked up into the sky.
"Why Jien? Why?"
END FLASH BACK
Gojyo's eyes were still streaked with tears as he continued to cry, he still doesn't understand why his brother would do such a thing. He took a deep breath as he looked at a red flower that was withering away, dying.
Just run Gojyo, just run as far away from here as you can!
Why Jien didn't you know that I was okay with dying! Why Jien! WHY!
Gojyo turned over again as he faced the sky again, it was still raining. He still had those slices on his cheek; he knew that it was going to turn out to be a scar. He closed his eyes tightly. Gojyo thought that what ever reason Jien had to kill his mother was probably because of his own selfish reasons.
Then again Gojyo should at least say…no he shouldn't what if his brother hates him now because of what he has done, because of what Gojyo made his brother do that to their mother?
He shouldn't, Gojyo knew he shouldn't. What if his brother tries to kill him? What if his brother changes his mind because of that moment?
Didn't you know I was okay with dying you bastard…
Gojyo then sat up as he began to stand up, the rain still piercing his body. He begun to walk, he still had a couple of injuries since he fell. His legs felt like shit, his arms felt like shit and his head felt like shit. This was going through his mind as he kept holding onto each tree as he tried to keep his balance.
Why?
Gojyo continued to walk through the woods, he knew this area very well, he knew that because since his mother tried to hit him he would run to the woods and hide for a couple of hours. Until his brother would find him again that is…
Why Jien?
He tripped and stumbled unto the floor, his body touching pure dirt and muck. Gojyo pushed himself up as tears began to go down his face again. Why does this shit always have to happen to him?
Jien…didn't you know that if I died then you're mother would've stopped crying?
FLASH BACK
Gojyo sat on his bed as he smoked his cigarette, his brother old him many times that he shouldn't be smoking because of his age. But he didn't care, if he died by lung cancer then that was fine by him…
He could hear it…
He could hear his mother's crying and whimpering in the kitchen, he placed an arm on his knee as he slanted his eyes and turned them to his window as the rain came pouring down and battered against the window.
Sometimes he wishes it could stop…
He wished that the cries and whimpers would stop completely…
He blew out another puff of smoke as the cries of that woman continued to echo through the whole house, like it was his curse, but if he was doomed to forever hear her cries then so be it.
How ever there are times…when he wishes he didn't exist; if he never existed then would his mother stop crying?
Sometimes I wish that I was deaf…
END FLASH BACK
Gojyo stuttered a bit until he fell to his knees. He was tired, from all this running from all this walking. He was too hurt to move another step, but what if Jien was right behind him, about to kill him.
Would Jien be capable of killing Gojyo like he did to his own mother? No he doubts it; he doubts that Jien would do such a thing. He slump his head down as he smacked all of those thoughts out of his head.
Brother…
Gojyo dropped himself unto the floor as he huddled up again. It was awfully cold out here, very cold for him. What was Gojyo going to do? Now that he thinks about it where was Gojyo going to go?
He doesn't even want to think about what the people in a village would think or do him in a matter of fact.
FLASH BACK
"Look at that child over there..." one woman gossiped as Gojyo and his brother walked past.
"He's a half breed…how disgusting really…" Gojyo heard all the words, but he planned to ignore it. "That's a creature only a mother would love…" Gojyo then just stopped as his head slumped down.
He never asked to be born, he didn't ask for this life that was handed out to him. He didn't ask for any of this at all.
Then there was a tap on his shoulder, Gojyo snapped out of his thoughts as he looked to his left to see Jien looking down on him. "Don't listen to them Gojyo…"
"It's none of their business…don't cry Gojyo…"
"I'm not crying…" Gojyo snapped as he walked on a head of Jien. Jien watched Gojyo as he walked on, he made a little sorrowful face as he walked after him.
"Hey yeah half breed…" Gojyo stopped again as a gang of boys that were sitting on a wall staring at him and giving him dirty looks. "We don't need you're kind here!" another one bellowed.
"Yeah get out of our village!" laughed another. Then they all chorused together as they kept repeating their shouts over and over again "Half Breed!"
I wish I was deaf…
"Hey stop it!" Gojyo jumped as he turned to see Jien. "Who gives you the right to slag someone who's no different than you!" Jien demanded. Gojyo looked at Jien with his eyes wide open in shock.
"Don't listen to them Gojyo…their no better…"
END FLASH BACK
Gojyo looked up into the sky to see the sun rising as the sun beams touched his face. He felt the warmth emanating from it as blinded him, he covered his eyes so that he could see properly.
Just run Gojyo, just run as far away from here as you can!
Gojyo slowly pushed himself up as the sun highlighted his hair; Gojyo narrowed his brow as he looked around the area.
Sometimes I wish that I was deaf…
He darted his eyes around the place as he heard the birds twittering and the rain slowly drifting away. He then began to walk as he placed each foot in front of the other making tiny splashes as his feet connected into a couple of mucky puddles.
…don't cry Gojyo…
I won't cry…not for her, not for anyone…for now on…I'm on my own…
Gojyo walked out of the woods as the sun came out to greet him. He raised his hand up as he walked on, to get to the next village, to get to the next destination, to make up a new life…
