Murder is not new to me. In the course of two years, I have already killed five people; three of them died in the ring, fighting me. I killed two in self defense, including Kou-niisan, the other is one of Papa's kidnappers.

I lay on the bed of my apartment that night; the recent kill losing its weight in my conscience. I closed my eyes and soon fell asleep.

"Yuu!" the voice of a distressed woman called me.

"Who are you? Where are you?"

"Yuu!" the voice called out again.

"Who are you? Where are you?"

"Yuu…" the darkness ceased and I saw the interior of a house, it was a familiar house, it was my house. I can feel that arms were wrapped around me but I can feel something more.

What's this? I thought. It's wet, but warm…

"Mama!" I heard myself call out.

My mother, Sasagawa Hana, was hugging me with blood flowing out of her body onto mine.

"You bastard!" I heard my father's voice bellow.

There were sounds of punches thrown, one loud thud and a groan, then silence and darkness.

"Yuu!" this time, a man's voice.

"Papa!" the darkness was pulled off.

"C'mon, you know what to do!" Papa yelled at me as he struggled from the grasp of a man. His powerful hands were tied up behind him while the stranger was pushing him down to a kneeling position.

"But Papa—" a grip on my neck tightened and I felt the cold tip of a knife.

"Don't you ever hurt my son!" with a sudden rush of adrenaline upon seeing the knife on my throat, Papa jumped up and kicked the man holding him then ran towards me.

The man he knocked off a while ago recovered quickly and was now upon his knees with a gun aimed at my father.

"Papa!" I tried to warn him but the man holding me pulled me back.

The man kneeling behind Papa pulled the trigger and shot my father on the right knee, unabling him to run.

Papa lifted up his left leg but it was also shot and so was his right shoulder. My father laid on the ground with his hands bind behind him. He lifted his head and looked straight into my own eyes which were copies of his. "Sasagawa Yuu, run out of here to the extreme!"

It was a command. I kicked the man holding me between his legs. His grasp on me loosened and I tackled him to the ground.

The man slashed his knife on my face and wounded me deeply from the right part of my lower lip down to my chin.

I punched his face, feeling his jaws crush against my fist.

His hand dropped the knife. I took it then stabbed him with it.

Meanwhile, the man who shot Papa managed to knock my father unconscious and lift him on his shoulder.

I stood up and ran away but the opponent who carried Papa shot me. It was a good thing that the bullet barely made it to my heel.

I continued running as fast and as far as I could. I did not know which direction I am heading to; all I knew is that Sasagawa Ryohei told me to run out of that place to the extreme. Darkness, everything before me was darkness, but I continued running, keeping Papa's words in mind. And then, there was a great flash of luminance.

I opened my eyes to the blinding sunlight that beamed into my room.

That dream again. No, it wasn't a dream, they're memories; memories of my mother's death eleven years ago and of my father's loss two years ago.

I stood up and went to the bathroom with my towel and bathrobe.

"Sasagawa Yuu, run out of here to the extreme!" Papa's words kept ringing in my mind as the cold water gushed down my body.

"Was he…" I mumbled. "Was he telling me to not just run out of that place but also run from the mafia?"

I shook my head. Words just make their way out of Papa's mouth without passing through his brain sometimes.

As my hand was pressed on the tiled wall with my head bowed down below the shower, I saw blood flowing along with the water from the wall down to the floor. I looked up and saw my hand against the wall which was the source of the blood. I pulled my hand away and stared at the blood-smeared palm.

"Kou-niisan." I said, recalling the events of last night. It was his blood coating my right palm.

I wonder where I can find Sora and Arashi.

I washed the blood from my hands.

I need to tell tem about the plans of that other family, if I don't, Kou-niisan's death would not be worth it.

Author's note:

'unabling' huh, that's not even in the dictionary but it's in my vocabulary. But you know what it means don't you? Well, if you don't, it means depriving the ability to do something.

I know this chapter sucks but I'll make it up in the coming chapters. :D
