Chapter 21:

My Brother… My Demon.

Haruhi: Kisa what's wrong?

Kisa: KURAI! *starts to cry as she hugs the boy she called "Kurai"*

Hikaru: *walks back into the hotel* I just forgot something… *he looks up to see Kisa crying in a strange young mans arms* Kisa?… what are you… doing?

Kurai: I'm Kisas brother… her real one. *looks at Hikaru* I'll take her home. I don't want you to miss your flight. *smirks evilly. His blood red eyes stare down Hikaru*

Hikaru: listen punk I've seen Kisa cry so many tears… and you just show up in her life now thinking everything will be fine. She has been through a living hell. She lost her mother in a car accident and she was in the hospital well over a month. Where were you then? You weren't there to cheer her up through all the pain she was going through. She was forced to leave her friends and move to England because no one adopted her. Where were you then? She came back… to us… to me… but she wasn't the same Kisa we all knew. All the pain and sorrow damaged her. Where were you then? My point is how can I trust you of all brothers to take her home safely? How do I know that you drop her off halfway? Because to me through all she's been through and you not being there for her is pathetic. I love Kisa and I'll always love her. She is my beginning, my sun on a rainy day, the pot of gold at the end of my rainbow, the sweet to my sour, she's my bright color on a dark black crow, she's the only girl I ever

Kisa: *stops him at the end of his sentence* Hikaru stop… *her rather red face turns to look at Hikaru* Kurai is my brother. We are blood related. I love him, he is the only person in this world that brought me joy and happiness when I was alone. So please don't try to shoot him down. He is a great man and will make some woman very happy for the rest of her life. So don't try to shoot him down. Don't bring him down a level because that isn't fair for him or you. I appreciate your concern and trying to stick up for me but I'm holding you back Hikaru you need to let me go… please Hikaru don't worry about me. I'll be fine. Now both of you go. I don't want you to miss your flight thanks to me. I'll see both of you at school tomorrow okay… thank you both I will remember this birthday for the rest of my life, I had a great time.

Haruhi: *trying to act happy* okay bye Ki *walks out the door*

Hikaru: you aren't holding me back… I'm not going to let you go! *walks out the door with his head down and his hair covering his face*

*you hear a car drive off*

Kurai: how come you didn't let me speak my Hotaru?

Kisa: Kurai, my name in this world is Kisa. I didn't want you to speak because we don't need violence in a rather nice inn.

Kurai: you know you won't be able to control me with that stupid Naoto…

Kisa: don't insult my boyfriend… that makes me angry and you know that. *looks up at her brother*

Kurai: Hotaru please. Get real. You know mother wants Kazuki…

Kisa: and why do I have to listen to her?

Kurai: do you remember when we were kids and I'd ask you who you wanted to marry. You would always pause to think then jump into my arms and shout "MY KURAI!" then giggle like you were embarrassed to admit it?

Kisa: yeah I remember that and you would say

Kurai: *finishes sentence* "ok my little Ru lets get married when we grow up." and you would say "promise? Got to pinky swear and cross your heart." *laughs* mother got so mad…

Kisa: *smiles* I was a little ball of fire wasn't I… *looks off into the distance*

Kurai: what's your problem don't like the demon?

Kisa: I'm confused…

Kurai: about what?

Kisa: I want to go home… but I don't want to leave everyone…

Kurai: come on let's go your other mother is going to be worried if you don't go back soon. *picks Kisa up and walks out the hotel doors*

Kisa: I missed you. *smiles as she remembers this warm embrace*

Kurai: I missed you too. *walks up by a blood red Mustang and opens the door and puts Kisa inside and shuts the door*

Kisa: I missed you so much.

Kurai: *opens the drivers seat door and gets in. he buckles his seat belt and starts the car and starts to drive off*

Kisa: *buckles* why did you come here? In this world?

Kurai: to be completely honest?

Kisa: yes. If that is possible.

Kurai: To steal you away. You know I love you and want you to be the girl I make happy for the rest of my life. *looks at Kisa then looks back at the road towards a nearby airport* please Hotaru you the only woman I will and ever

Kisa: *interrupts him* four men. *closes her eyes and nods*

Kurai: what are you talking about?

Kisa: four men have told me they love me Hikaru, Naoto, Kazuki, and you. Three know my secret. One is left standing. All I love dearly all close to my heart. All different personalities.

Kurai: one man in a complete different world. *looks at Kisa for a split second.*

Kisa: obviously you're talking about yourself. Besides we are related so it would be gross.

Kurai: not by blood I was adopted. I'm a monster a demon and that's what demons do they marry their sisters. You know we get over protective, so if that runt of a man Naoto lays one finger on you he is going to lose his limbs.

Kisa: I'm sorry Kurai but I don't know of any demons that married their sister. *laughing and ignoring the Naoto comment*

Kurai: I know plenty.

Kisa: oh really? *sarcasm*

Kurai: and do you know why?

Kisa: why?

Kurai: because demons are sexy beasts. *laughs*

Kisa: *starts to crack up* wow you went a little to far.

Kurai: we're here *looks at the airport as he unbuckles his seatbelt at opens his car door*

Kisa: *does the same*

*they both get out of the car and into the airport. They both board the plane*

Kurai: crap your luggage!

Kisa: Haruhi has it. If I know her she'll drop it off at the house for me.

Kurai: oh okay.

*hours later and at Kisas home*

Kisa: thanks Kurai. *stands on her tip-toes and kisses his forehead*

Naoto: *appears behind Kisa* hey look it's the bastard of the hour.

Kurai: hey jackass. Came to drop my girl off. Where's your boyfriend Kazuki?

Naoto: Kisa go inside I'm going to have a chat with your brother.

Kisa: just don't kill him. *turns around and stands on her tip-toes and kisses Naoto on the lips then walks the narrow path to her home*

Naoto: came to hurt Kisa again?

Kurai: no I came to be there for her, steal her away and take her home.

Naoto: you know how much crap comes from your mouth?

Kurai: like you're any better. You're dying and you refuse to tell my Hotaru. Doesn't that mean every word you tell her means nothing because you promised her you wouldn't lie to her ever and you are right now. Isn't that a shocker.

Naoto: SHUT UP! *picks Kurai up by the collar of his shirt*

Kurai: and I thought you were a better man then that.

Kazuki: *comes from the tree above and stabs Kurai all the way in the back with his katana*

Some people say a red rose is made by all the blood that has been shed. All the sorrow that goes with it. A beautiful white rose comes out red when someone is bleeding or dead. Yet this is just a myth, a fable, a simple fairytale. So don't let it get the best of you the answers are all on the table in front of you.
