"I want to die..."

"...I don't want to be a burden to all of you..."

"I'm tired... *cough"

A very pale boy can be seen crouching in the edge of a dark room. As if talking to himself, there's a blue fire levitating infront of him. Giving him security and warmth from the cold place.

"...Rin..."

A concerned and worried voice called out from that blue fire. It levitates closer to the boy like it hugging it.

"You'll never be a burden to them, to us..."

A sniff and a sob can be heard from the little boy. The boy lift his head and look at the blue fire. He started to smile, a sad smile and a little tear can be noticed in his eyes. Thats all he did and nothing more.

A cold wind can be felt in their surrounding as the boy stayed there for a long time.

*Present

It will be a year since rin died. It was an unexpected circumtances and all the people who heard the news about it can't believe that it happened. A lot of people despaired and those people are his close acquaintances, friends and the ones who he considered his own family.

Kuro didn't leave the building where rin and yukio stayed. Kuro can't accept the fact that another person whom he loved has abandoned him again. So all the efforts of rins classmates and yukio to let kuro go outside has been not effective at all.

But unlike from the time where father shiro had died. Kuro seems calm and like a repetitive lullaby, he always purred with a sad eyes looking at the entrance of the building as if waiting for rin to come back as he always does when he was still alive.

[I'm always be here waiting for you...]

[so...]

[...you'd better be coming back...]

[...rin...]

Like chanting a mantra, that is always what kuro tells to himself while glancing at the entrance of the building. Everytime kuro did this, yukio seems to understood that look of kuro and always make yukio more feel sad. And at the end yukio keep himself busy not to be sad anymore.

"you'll be given a vacation"

Mephisto stated seriously at yukio once he summon yukio to announce this. Mephisto leans at his desk and reach a vacation form to yukio.

Yukio looked confusely at the paper infront of him and took a glance at mephisto.

"I don't need a vacation... sir."

Mephisto let out a sigh and massage his temple. The atmosphere around yukio keep stressing him out. He deliberately look at yukio and sigh again.

"...you kinda look a total mess right now"

"I'm alright sir..."

"No! Shura take this moron and make him fill up this form ASAP!"

"KK"

Thus yukio then given a vacation for at least 2 months to recuperate and rest from what him caused this severe fatigue. Yukio bid a farewell to his class and went to the place where him and rin grew up together and where rin has buried into. After he unpacked his things in his room. He went to the graveyard behind the church. He bid a greetings to the people inside the church and went ahead to where rins tomb located.

When he arrived at the place he put down the bouquet of flowers he brought in rins tomb and sat infront of it. He close his eyes for a short period of time and feel the warm wind around him. He slowly open his eyes and glance at his brother buried under the earth.

He smiled with a sad eyes then muttered a word.

"It has been awhile nii-san"
