Yoh… Otouto… Where are you? …

My sword lands on the ground, as I sweat from the grudging battle that just took place. It is over I ask Manta. No, he says to me. I nod, with that look on my face, the look where I am missing him. He's the one who should have been there... Yet, I do not hate him... I only wish that I could see him. But since it is gone, I guess its back to normal, right?

Nightmares before me… So many nightmares…

So now I have to train again, like I always do... Anna surprised to see me the way I was, looked after me for a bit. But, it was only until I got all my strength back... She's my fiancée... But, I do not feel anything for her… We are to be married one day, yet when that day comes, will I be ready to tell her how I feel, about the secret lover I've had? Will she understand? Will she let her emotions for me go, and walk away?

One after the other, I wait for you... I am sorry that it had to be this way Otouto... I was your Onii-chan… I was supposed to protect you... Yet, we solve our problems by fighting eachother, each memory made all over again, with the clashing of our blades... Our minds were to be one together... We were to be together, just like before, when I was still there with you... Remember Otouto...

I wait here for you, to come to me again... I only hope that you are alright, it was quite a blow you suffered... I do not care about my pain, I only want you to be safe, and with me again…

You were always the shy one, yet when I was with you, things were better for you... Nothing was ever saddened or darkened for you when I was around... Please, remember, Otouto...

Your sweet kiss was all I wanted. I needed you, I felt you in my heart, even to this day, as long as I am alive, you are also, right? Is it possible to see you again? Will you come to see me again? Will we be able to make love, one last time? When will I see you again, Onii-chan?

Otouto... I pray that you don't forget me, and that we will see each other again... These stains of blood on my clothes, the sweat that covers my face, it is all for you, and I want you to know that I love you... Even to this day, these wounds will heal, and I will come to see you again... I will love you one more time. I will take you to a place, where we cannot be disturbed, and there, I shall love you, I shall protect you, eternally within me, as it was meant to be… Don't forget me…

Otouto…
