"It's kinda late Sou-chan, Why don't you get some rest?"
I was about to leave when I heard his meek voice that was quite shaky at that time.
"Pl…Please…don't leave, Yumi-san"
I turned to him and saw tears continuously running down his pale cheeks, It was the first time I saw him cry, and that sight was obviously enough to give anybody the screaming meemies. I approached him and wrapped my arms around the little boy who seemed really upset. I rested my chin on his head while caressing his back from time to time.
"I'll stay if you stop crying"
" I've never been this scared before, Yumi-san…Do you think that Battousai can defeat us? Or maybe kill us all?"
"It's Natural , Sou-chan, I'm sure Shishio-sama gets scared too…"
"But he doesn't cry like this, right? Or does he? Yumi-san?" Soujiro raised his head and looked at me.
"Of course he doesn't…but if he did…he probably wouldn't show it even to me…" I said smiling at him.
"But he isn't like me…He's strong…I'm weak"
"You know what Sou-chan, Sometimes you need to have strength to tell everyone you're weak and ask for help…everybody has limitations…you know that"
"Thanks Yumi-san"
"Sou-chan, Whenever you want to talk or something, just tell me okay?" I said while slowly pulling away from him.
"Of Course Yumi-san" he said while wiping his tears.
"Oyasumi, Soujiro" I embraced him once again and kissed his cheek.
"Good Night, Yumi-san"
I was about to go outside, when I heard him call me again.
"Uhmm…Yumi-san."
"What is it?"
"Oh…Nothing" he smiled innocently.
I smiled back and rushed to my room…Shishio-sama might be waiting for me.
ooooo
"Good Night, Mom"00000000000000
