Nobody's POV:
Gentle footsteps echoed loudly in the large abandoned mansion. Hearing the footsteps, the three turned to see...
A young beautiful woman, with long mid-back length silky straight raven black hair, and large shiny light violet and gold eyes. (Her eyes are violet, but if you look closely you can see a bit of gold)
She wore a light purple mini-skirt, knee-length pure white boots, white gloves, and a purple mid-riff tank top.
Her bangs were parted in the middle, and on the top of her head was a small tiara.
Mr. Onodera stood up and asked
"Who are you? You said that this is important."
The woman sighed and responded
"My name is irrelevant, however what I am about to tell you isn't."
This time it was Mrs. Onodera who spoke
"What do you have to tell us, me and my husband are very busy people you know?"
The woman looked straight at Mrs. Onodera and tilted her head to the side slightly before asking, "What do you know of your son?"
An-chan then decided to speak for the first time, "What does Ricchan have to do with this?"
The woman frowned slightly before answering
"Before I tell you this, I must explain everything okay? Alright, Onodera Ritsu fell in love for the first time when he was 12. He truly and wholeheartedly loved this person, he even kinda stalked this person in his own and very cute way. Three years later, on his fourth year stalking he confessed his love for this person. This person however grew up with parents far too selfish to care for their own child. Therefore seeing someone like Ritsu ticked them off and they wanted to crush his illusions and seriously break hi from the inside out, leaving Ritsu as hollow as they constantly feel. But in the end they ended up falling head over heels madly in love with Ristu, and the two dated for a while, Ritsu was insecure about the relationship between the two and when he asked about it...let's just say that he didn't get the answer he wanted. He then went study abroad in England.
10 years later the two meet again, except as co-workers, when the two realized it was each other to say the least they were truly shocked. The two worked along side one another, and fell in love once again, so Mrs. Onodera, as you now know Ritsu did in fact have someone he loved dearly. However Ristu didn't want to admit how he felt for the longest time, he recently accepted his feelings towards his boss."
Everyone was in shock, their eyes wide and mouths dropped open...except An-chan. Mrs. Onodera was the one to break the tense silence.
"...Why didn't Ristu, just tell us?"
The woman turned to her and stared for a good while before saying, "...how would you react? You can't even talk to him without shoving the ARRANGED marriage the he NEVER wanted in his face."
Another tense silence echoed painfully in the room before the woman spoke again "Plus there's the fact that the person Ritsu loves just so happens to be a MAN."
"But that is not what I came here to talk about."
The woman's eyes became moist and misty she looked at the three before saying
"Ritsu got a letter saying that someone was going to kill his lover, so he went to confront this person...however Ritsu lost his life in the process...I am so so so sorry for your lost."
An-chan immediately broke down but honestly who could blame her? Ritsu was her best friend, she will never forget how they met
Flashback:
Tears streamed down the 5 year old girl's face like an angry waterfall that refuses to show mercy. She was crying so hard she didn't realize that someone had walked up to her, that is until she felt a warm hand on her shoulder.
She snapped her head in the others direction and her little 5 year old heart fluttered slightly at the sight in front of her.
There stood a little boy that was around her own age, he had concern written all over his face, that was young 6 year old Onodera Ritsu
"Are you okay Kohitana-chan?"
She shook her head furiously crying out
"Nobody likes me! Nobody wants to be my friend!"
Ritsu then automatically answered with an adorable smile that made him seem far more cu th he already was
"I like you, and I want to be your friend"
End Flashback
Mr. Onodera on the other hand felt nothing, no pain, no sorrow, just...nothing.
All he felt was a deep empty, and hollow feeling within his heart
His son is dead
His son...is dead
His...son...is...dead...
HIS SON IS DEAD!
Like a ton of bricks, he fell hands and knees onto the cold ground. Even the smallest movement hurt like hell for him. His breaths came out rough and rugged. His eyes became moist and misty.
He failed as a father. There was no other explanation for this. He could have stopped Ritsu from going to England, or transferring companies...but he didn't
All he wanted was for his son live a long and successful life. For Ritsu to be selfish at times and work hard for what he wanted. But most of all, he wanted Ritsu to be happy. His heart broke every single time he saw Ritsu's normally bright and love filled green eyes, red and puffy.
That's why he didn't stop Ritsu, that's why he never wanted Ritsu to take over the family company, not because he didn't believe in Ritsu, goodness no! He is very well aware how capible Ristu is, in fact he was absolutely furious when he heard Ritsu's former co-workers say that Ritsu was only riding hit coat-tails because he knew first hand how hard of a worker his son is. He didn't want him to take it over simply because he knew that Ritsu wouldn't be very happy. Same goes for the engagement between Ritsu and An-chan.
His son, the precious life that he helped create, did he ever tell Ritsu how proud he is of him?Or how he worries about him? Or did he even call him to say hello? Or even so much as an "I love you"?
He speak and reads English very fluently and the saying "you never know what you have until it's gone" has never felt so true
At that moment he realized that half of his world has been ripped away from him
Ritsu, his son, his flesh and blood, the piece of him that is within another person.
His shoulders shook violently, as sobs escaped through tightly cenched teeth. The warm tears slid from his cheeks to his chin and onto the floor
He placed his hand on his face at a week and desperate attempt to wipe the never ending tears as he cursed all the gods for giving him such a precious treasure...only to snatch him away
Only two words escaped his mouth
"My son"
Mrs. Onodera was full of unstable and mixed emotions. She was angry, confused, and even empty...but most of all, she was absolutly heartbroken and downright devistated.
Her son was in love, and she never thought to consider Ritsu's feelings. She called him often, but only to talk about An-chan.
Regret hit her hardcore in her newly broken heart.
She was only trying to help him, she had watched her son grow up, and become a polite and amazing handsome young man. Ritsu is the only child she'll ever have. So it's only natural for her to worry about him right?
Ritsu couldn't even trust her enough to tell her that he was in love with a man. Sure she most likely would've reacted badly at first...but she would've come to accept it. She couldn't bring herself to live a life that doesn't involve her precious son.
As her husband collapsed she felt tears streaming down her baby face, a gene that Ritsu got from her.
She closed her eyes slowly as she thought of her son, the miracle the gods have given her and her beloved.
She remembered the day Ritsu started Elementary school, she remembered reading bed time stories to him, comforting him when he had a nightmare, and all of those times when her husband was out at a bussiness trip and Ritsu spent the whole day with her, and the horror she felt when she found out that her son ate fast food, and even the fear and worry she felt when Ritsu went study abroad and left Onodera Publishing.
But most of all she remembered how much she cared for him. How her worry for her son sent her to the hospital.
Her son
...
And like her husband she once again cursed the gods for taking her own flesh an blood offspring...the only child she will ever have.
The three barely moved all cursing the gods for allowing such a tragic and painful event to occur.
