Hi, little disclaimer: The world of manga belongs to Tite Kubo, the ocs are mine however.
End of the disclaimer, I'll meet you further down.
-Say Kaneaki, I asked shyly, you think you can stay long?
I tangled my black-stained hands in that curly hair that bore the strong colors of the bark that came from my mother, my green eyes carefully avoided those of my brother who stood beside me. The lake was the only point I was staring at at that moment, and my nervousness stressed me slightly. The forest surrounded us benevolently with its fir and pine trees arranged at will. The sky above our heads had its beautiful blue color tinged with a slight white of passage.
-I would stay as long as I could, I reassured her with a voice I wanted soft. As I could leave you alone with Mother. Father should be back soon...
I had nothing of our mother, but everything of our father. My blond hair, I hadn't even been lucky enough to have her moles that spread like a cloud of stars over my mother's and sister's skins. Only my eyes brought me closer to my sister. Our father's eyes went to war for the cause of his country. I should have gone when I came of age, to join our homeland in battle. But the fear was eating away at me as soon as my sister is no longer in my sight. I didn't want to leave her.
-I'm a little scared, you know, Kaneaki, I said half-word. Mother won't tell me, but I can feel something in her eyes that I don't want to see.
Mother had changed slightly, and she kept going on and on. She frightened me because of what I read in his eyes when I passed him. Feelings that I did not know. Feelings that I thought I didn't want. Things were getting quiet, but I had thought that she must also be afraid of something, and that deep down I could see that it was eating her up. But I pretended not to see it, and I pretended to go on as before. Smiling.
-Did it get worse? I asked her, don't try to hide anything, it may, perhaps, make her worse...
It had already started when our father left a few weeks later. A portion, small in the beginning but increasing with each passing day. It eats at me every time I see the silent sadness that was painted lightly on his face. And the worst part was that there was nothing I could do about it. All I could do was ease her pain.
-Not as much as I could have expected, I lied, but, the angels haven't come yet, I hope they will come as late as possible.
The drastic change in the conversation had not escaped my brother, but he did not take any notice of it, and let me continue in this way. How long will this situation last? How long do we have before they arrive? I didn't want them to come.
-I hope so, too. But please don't find out, I wanted to warn her.
I didn't want her to find out the why, the how, the who of this situation. Otherwise, maybe she'll be affected by it too. I didn't want that to happen to her too. I cared about her more than myself, even in my condition. Otherwise, she will end up like me.
-Hmpf, I muttered, you know me. And you know it won't do any good.
How could I let this pass. How could I let this situation go unresolved? He knew that no matter what he said, nothing would stop me.
-Please, Hatsu, he begged her, you'll end up getting hurt or worse, you could die!
-How can you say that to me, she rebelled bitterly, You know this situation should never have happened!
-It was inevitable!
-Why was it? Did you see something you shouldn't have? This person hurt someone and you found her there?
-I won't say anything, and you shouldn't look for anything. For your own good.
-How can it be for my own good when it's yours I'm looking for! she said with tears in her eyes.
-Please don't cry... he worried. You shouldn't cry...
-Then how should I react, she whispered now, how should I face your death then?
He didn't answer, his heart was as broken as his sister's. His face was tugging in the pain of not being able to do anything... Not even being able to hold his sister in his arms... His was only a dead soul after all.
Hello, hoping the reading wasn't too painful and that you enjoyed it, here I am with a new mini-series, with our protagonists Hatsu, the sister and Kaneaki, the brother.
I hope that the style of reading will not upset you too much, here I decided to cut by point of view of dialogue. This means that with each dialogue we have a change of point of view. Do not expect to see characters from the manga, I just took the universe this time again.
I will try to restrict myself also to five "major" characters and make a series of less than 10 chapters. These will be the objectives of this one.
Good day and rest.
