RUN
Red Moon
The boy held the dagger more firmly that it pierced it shallow on Hakuro's skin. Hakuro gave out soft but painful groan. "W-why…" Hakuro stuttered.
"Cheers!"
"Oi Sousuke, you better pull down the drinking, you're a terrible example for your little brother!" A man with bright purple eyes and long white hair scolded. "What Kiromu, you're nineteen anyway right?" Sousuke sighed, his voice waving. "Come on… you have a little---" Three girls sitted beside Kiromu cutting their wavy conversation. "Kiromu-senpai, can you help us carry these bags?" the girl pleaded all at once. They were wearing a dancer's outfit, green, red and orange, and carrying luggage like they traveled from afar. "Eh? But we were kind of just… partying." Kiromu stuttered. "Don't ask that ass, he wouldn't care to help you." Sousuke put his hand on Kiromu's shoulder. "Wha? I didn't mean that way… it's just that---" Kiromu stuttered. The girls stood up and started playing a song. Sousuke's eyes shimmered as the girls danced around them. Kiromu remained silent and watched Sousuke dance with the girls. He sighed, laid his back on the cold road and stared at the sky. I guess even if the life we have now is already ruined, we could still have fun, it just shows how God is so merciful. "What're you doing there! Come dance with us!" Sousuke waved. "Okay, okay, just wait!" Kiromu replied and stood up.

"You should die, along with ominous Roku, (NOTE: Roku means six in Japanese, and six is considered an ominous number) even if you already suffered, it's not enough!" the boy held the dagger more slowly towards Hakuro's back with a quarter of it already inside. Hakuro gave out a whisper-like groan. Jin shivered his body numb from fright. They paused for seconds which seemed like hours as the night froze in silence. The moon shone red on the dagger, on the puddle of pure red blood, and above them. "W-why are you…" Jin almost can't believe words flew out of his mouth. I can't talk, I can't breathe, I just want to scream for help… 'CHICKEN' The word came into Jin's mind. Sousuke… help--- No, I fight. I fight for my friend and for myself. Because I am also a fighter, not just a co--- "Ashwin… why?" Hakuro groaned in pain. The dagger was pulled out of Hakuro's back. He faced the boy slowly. "No, don't look at me." The boy turned away. Hakuro stood slowly, blood dripping from his back. He held the shoulder of the boy and turned him around. "Explain to me… why you're… doing this." He whispered, almost out of breath. Ashwin? That's Ashwin! The boy from the market! I don't care if--- Jin's thoughts slowly became words, going out of his mouth, "he's my friend, but he sinned enough to make me hurt him, and to kill him." Jin picked the dagger, blood still dripped from it. He carried himself to Ashwin, becoming faster and faster. He waved the dagger sidewards, ready to slash Ashwin apart. He paused and controlled his hand, his auro surrounding the dagger. What? Enchantment? But this guy is still a novice! A novice being able to use a third-job leveled skill is just too impossible! Ashwin shivered, realizing Jin is after him. Jin shifted his hand position and sped towards Ashwin. His eyes flickered and he paused his body as Hakuro spread his hands shielding Ashwin. "What do you think you're doing! Are you trying to kill my beloved servant Ashwin!" Hakuro shouted. "Master…" Ashwin mumbled. Jin's hand slowly lowered and pointed towards Hakuro, "Move." He whispered. Hakuro saw Jin's eyes filled with anger. "Why? Because he almost killed me? I already told you that---" Hakuro's eyes widened as he saw Jin's aura. It became larger and larger, reaching the ground. The ground turned purple with poison just as Jin's aura has spread all over it. Jin held his dagger more firmly and moved it towards Hakuro. Blood spilled on the poisoned ground. The moon grew redder as the puddle of pure red blood became bigger.

Sousuke put his hand on the katana stabbed at his chest. His father let go of the katana and said, not with his own voice, but with someone else's voice, "This is for abducting Hakuro and Roku, this body I'm controlling is already half-dead, Ashwin, finish it." A boy kneeled 3 meters away from the house. He held a katana similar to that katana stabbed on Sousuke's chest. He stood up and sped towards the half-dead body and slashed it into pieces. Jin stood on the corner, terrified at what lies before his eyes. Ashwin faced Jin's mother and did the same. He sped out of the house not noticing Jin. Jin's tears fell down his cheek. "I will not forgive those who are involved in this."
Jin put his hand on his stomach, feeling the hand stabbed on it. He turned his face upward and saw Hakuro's eyes, completely red. "H-hakuro…" He mumbled.
"Jin! Hakuro!" Sousuke stood up, "Kiromu, Kiromu wake up, come with me, something happened with Jin and Hakuro."
Sousuke and Kiromu rushed to a small Einbroch bridge. Sousuke followed his instincts and sped to Jin. Jin fell down in front of Sousuke's eyes. Hakuro put his shaking hands on his mouth and cried. The blood from his hand smudged on his face. He fell down still shaking. Sousuke ran and hugged Jin's almost life-less body. Kiromu fell silent behind them. "Brother…" Jin's voice faded with his body. Sousuke held the ash left tightly. Even if I don't know why his body turned to ash as he died, I want him back. Sousuke cried, his hands folded across his chest. Kiromu walked towards Hakuro and placed his hand behind Hakuro's head. He held Hakuro closer to him and whispered, "Cry all you want."
"Hakuro? W-what happened!" Karin ran towards them. Kiromu's eyes widened and he turned to Sousuke. Sousuke nodded and closed his eyes. Kiromu started chanting, "Rotten flesh of the apple, surround yourself around the right blood."

Sousuke lay on the tree, flying with thoughts.
Even if only my memories were left, it were right that their memories were sealed, even Kiromu's. I'm sure someday they would all be able to meet each other and get their memories back, even if it means giving away their life.
