Chapter 3: Can You Say It.
Well here he was standing on a 400 year old garden of the Uruha's hidden manor. It was not the first time he had been here. After all, 416 years ago he remembered his mother throwing a couple of skulls to Kagero; a gift for her newborn child, Recca. Yes, this house held so many memories and none of them pleasant. Inside this house's walls he was proclaimed an evil heir, a dark flame caster with No place in their clan. This house was the caused of his mother's sadness and death. That child was the caused of his problems. Recca…
Turning towards the old house he tried to recall were the young infant's room used to be. He remembered it well. The moon did not bless the skies that night. With dirty rags and bear feet he stealthily reaches the child's room. His training since birth had benefits. Opening the door he reaches for his rusty kunai and approaches the baby. He will end it all. Preparing to strike at the child's heart the young four year old knew how to kill. Aiming it at the tiny heart Kurei plunges it to the boy but only manages to hit the cheek. A flash of dark blue innocent and somewhat trusting eyes made him hesitate and miss. The cry was heard and he was captured.
Now here he was back at this wrenched mansion. He has no reason to stay but every right to go. His wounds are healed and he gave them their gratitude. Still here he was in the house he vowed never to enter again, listening to the running water from the pond. He could go. He found it hard to leave without saying it the younger man but he found it difficult to say it to him more. His brother's…yes his brother, he never had one to put it technically but when Recca's eyes pleaded for him to stay, he could do nothing but give in. Is this what his foster mother, Tsukino told him. He remembered that with short time with Tsukino he felt normal and free to be a child again. She told him stories and there was one about brothers. He found it unnatural for the older to give into the younger one's pleads with a smile and ruffling of untamed hair. But now he could understand it a little and he didn't like it one bit. He wanted to strangle the other and destroy the funny feelings he feels. He is not supposed to feel. Not to feel means not getting hurt. This fact proves useful in all his experience.
He was angry. An unpleasant emotion to feel when it was towards the person sheltering you and who is also now going towards you with a smile on his face.
"Hey!" the other greets. He nods back. It has been like this since the last incident when Recca called him 'Niisan' after that they never called each other by name or title. Both of them didn't know what they are to each other so they just settled for greetings
"Look, I know you just got healed and everything but I also know your as bored as hell but you refuse to hang out it's just not your style and you said you didn't want to be seen…" Kurei raised a finely shaped eyebrow (finely shaped! WHAT THE HELL!). Recca was blabbering. They had been with each other's presence for just a short time but the elder seemed to conclude that every time Recca wants something from him he blabbers before making his point. It amuses the hell out of him but he was in no mood for this right now. And so…
"Recca…" startled but Kurei saying his name the other stops. "What is it?"
"I was wandering if you want to spar with me." The younger looks down. "We're not going to kill each other or anything just spars with simple taijutsus. What do you say?"
"It would be fine. But I am afraid you will not win." At this self proclamation Recca faced Kurei with a friendly glare. "In your dreams" thus without even a warning the two lounge at each other.

Kagero was looking for both of them when she spots the two. Kurei was pinning Recca on the ground. At first she thought that they we're fighting but she saw Kurei's smirk (which by the way caught her off-guard) and her son's pout did she understand the situation.
Then…she wondered. If things didn't turn out this way would they have shared a close sibling bond? But one should not dwell on what could have been. She learned that lesson a very long time ago. Placing the groceries on top of the balcony rail she made her footsteps more pronounce to gain attention.
As predicted both ninja's caught the movement. "Dinner will be ready in about an hour. I suggest that the both of you take a nice long bath." It was a suggestion but both boys decided to take up the offer.
"Um…" The elder of the two heard beneath him. Eyes widening he noticed that they had not moved from their previous position. Blushing slightly he pushes himself away from his half-brother.
"We only have an hour might as well bathe together." (GASP: FAINTSo.O) Kurei could only nod.

The bathing room was old fashion and so it can be ideal for group baths. Both of them stood inside in silence. Minutes pass and Kurei began to take his gi off with no hint of embarrassment. However when Recca saw this his face grew warm. Sure it's nothing to be ashamed of between siblings but they never even acknowledge each other until recently. They were even enemies at some point. Recca shakes his head. It was ridiculous this they are both males. He began to calmly take of his shirt but then he saw Kurei beginning to take of his boxers.
"What!...what are you doing!" he stammered.
"Taking off my clothes." The scared one stated as if it was nothing but a fly. He then raises an eyebrow. "Why? Are you going to bathe clothed?" He then proceeded to his earlier task and got in the hot tub. Recca Quickly gathered the sponges and soap and entered the tub as well.
Giving the other soap and sponge to Kurei he began the task of cleaning himself, a distraction from his current embarrassment. He heard Kurei move indicating that he was doing the same. After some time he looked up to see how His older brother was doing. Kurei's back was facing him. There he saw that some wounds were still bleeding.
"I thought you said your wounds are healed." Recca stammers while unconsciously touching the other's back.
Kurei stiffened at the touch. "It did. It just reopened when we spared."
"You Shouldn't have accepted it then." He began lapping the wounds with a small towel. "I wanted to. I was bored."
"But still…"
"I bet if you were in my place you would have accepted it as well." He cut the younger off. Recca didn't know what to say to that yet… "What made you say that?"
"You never back down from a challenge I gave you." Recca couldn't help but smirk and he playfully squirts a handful of water at Kurei.
"Very mature."
"Whatever Turn around so I can wash your back." Kurei listened.

Kagero was already sitting on mat when she heard the two enter. Actually it was more like strides. Like someone trying to go faster that the other.
"How nice of it for you two to finally show up." Both sat besides her giving her the middle place. A silent thanks was said as they began to eat.
"Recca you have school on Monday so you're going home to your father right? " The boy gave a nod not even pausing from his meal. "Then I suggest you take Kurei with you." Both men paused from their meals.
"What?" they said in unison. She sighs. " I may not look like it but I do work you know. I do odd jobs here and there. Your brother will be here alone." Did she really have to emphasis the brother part? "After all it was you who asked him to stay. So that latest comment hit a nerve. "What do you think Kurei-san?" She still addressed Kurei in formal form. Kurei didn't even gave any reaction.
"It would be nice to go out."
"…" Kurei didn't answer and so it stayed that way until the meal ended.

Back at the family garden Kurei was silently staring at the stars.
"May I sit beside you?" the immortal woman in black kimono politely asked. Kurei gave a nod in acceptance.
"Have you thought about it?" Kurei just glared at the sky.
" It is not nice to be cooped up in here forever."
"They might find me."
"So…It's not like you to be afraid." Kurei clenched his fist "I am not. I must not be found or taken away by them."
"You won't. Recca will be there."
"What can he do? Get me captured faster." It was Kagero's turn to glare. She grabbed Kurei's chin to face her. Tightening her hold she says. "Recca will protect his brother at all cost. He is strong like that." She began to loosen her hold and gently caresses the young man's cheek.
"Listen. I may not be your mother and I know you wouldn't want that to be any other way. But I am still a mother and if I can see a chance for you to experience life like my son do I will push it in you. You have a chance to have a normal family Kurei. Give it a shot." With that she left Kurei with his thoughts.

Recca was busy packing his things for the trip back to his town city when he heard his door opening. He turned around expecting his mother to check him but instead he found the tall brunette standing still in front of him.
"Kurei!"
"I have been thinking."
"Yes?"
"I will go with you to the city if you don't mind" Recca's jaw dropped.
"But I thought…what if you get caught…"
"I will die of boredom here. And you're my host you can't leave me here. Besides I wanted to give it a shot."
"What do you mean?" Kurei whispered something but Recca wasn't able to pick it up so he asked the elder to repeat it. "Come again."
"I said I want to try and be a brother to you." Kurei put his head down a blush clearly evident. If the later didn't shock the boy this one surely did. Recca's clothes fell from his hands mouth opening and closing. Kurei move closer.
"Can you say it again? I want hear and feel what it is like when you say it." It took a moment for Recca to figure out what his brother meant but at that point he realized something. He just thought of Kurei as his brother and so…
Kurei was starting to get anxious. He was never anxious. Maybe this was a mistake but before he could tell Recca to forget it he heard something.
"Repeat that."
It was now Recca's turn to blush but he still manages to repeat it.
"Niisan."
