Chapter seven
"BROTHER!" Mika, Kasai's little sister grabbed him by the waist and didn't let go. Her head only just reached his chest. She wore a cute skirt and had spikier hair that suited her except Kasai's was bleached blonde almost white; Mika's was brown as short. She was 10 years old With huge eyes, she looked like a loli.
"Get off my Kasai" Mizore glared, she felt like she had some completion. (haha)
"huh? Kasai who's that?" she asked pointing at Mizo
She's Mizore Shirayuki, she a very good friend of mine"
"friend?" Mika asked curiously,
"friend!" Mizore protested
"ok! Fine, we're currently dating Mika, so try to like her"
"ok! Hi, my name is Mika, Kasai's younger sister, I hope we get along!" she bowed politely
"I'm Mizore, Kasai's girlfriend. I know we will"
Mika's god parents glared through the hallway. They unapproved of Kasai. They folded their arms unwelcomingly and gritted their teeth.
"Girlfriend huh?!" The woman shrieked.
"That's right. I'm not expecting you to like her." Kasai motioned "I'm old enough now without your blessing, I came here to introduce her to Mika. Not you!" Kasai said through gritted teeth.
"that's a bit harsh..." Mizore whispered in his ear
"Later..." he whispered back without moving his lips.
"YOU!" the male shoot a finger at Mizore
"who are you again?!" Mizore remained expressionless at the sudden burst of rage
"Hi, pleased to meet you I am Mizore Shirayuki. I Know we can..." she was interrupted in her bow gritting them
"Do you know how much of a delinquent he is?"
"No, I lov-"
"you couldn't have picked a worse person! He's arrogant, angry and relies on others to help him"
"all he needed was support. He's totally changed since I've first saw him!" even Mizore was losing her patience
"Mika, go up stairs!"
"But why do I...?"
"NOW!" glumly she walked upstairs obeying her elders. "You know he killed his father, he'll do the same to you. bad things happen to those who try to help."
"I'm willing to take that chance!"
"How can you be dating a murder?"
"He told me about what happened that night!"
"did he also tell you about the hearing?"
"hearing?" Mizore asked quizzativly. Kasai tried to slip away through the door but Mizore, who knew him all too well, grabbed his collar again.
"that's right! He was sentenced for the death of his family seeing how no one found the body of the guy who tried to kill him..."
"I don't believe it" she said her voice slightly shaking. Mizore had loosened her grip and Kasai, seizing the opportunity lunged at the man straggling his throat.
"Kasai!" Mizore screeched as a fist landed on his face and he backed off. Kasai wiped the blood from his lips
"you had no right to tell her that, besides they found me not guilty in the end..."
"only because there wasn't enough evidence, murderer! I bet you would have killed your sister if you had the chance!"
"how dare you!" he voice filled with rage... his eyes full of fire and his hand glowing red hot. Mizore way gently holding him by the shoulders trying to ease him back. Kasai knew better. He took a couple of deep breaths and passed them off with rage. Then in an even voice he said
"I love my sister more than anything, apart from Mizore, at the moment. And I despise you. You're turning Mika against me!"
"We're protecting her from a murderer, she knows about you and you're scheme!" Kasai turned to Mizore and said to her
"I can explain, let's go"
"running away again are you!"
"I'm here to spend time with my sister and Mizore, not you. Come on Mika! We're taking you out!... see ya around" Kasai said to the god parents as he left along with Mizore and Mika now wearing a winter jacket.
"that was Kikotu and HIshima, my god parents. It's true, I was prosecuted for the deaths of my parents because I started that fire, I tried to help. But I couldn't control it. I told you want happened."
"Kasai!" Mika shouted back to them.
"yes?" Kasai answered
"can we go to the park?" Mika asked looking up at him. Laughing Kasai agreed.
"so, after a while and spending 6 months in holding, it was found that the guy who attacked that night had attacked again under the same circumstances. by pure chance. They found suffient evidence and I was released."
"I see, that would explain why they never found the body"
"correct" they watch Mika from the park bench on the swing. "she's had it tougher than me"
"what do you mean?"
"At points in her life I wasn't there for her, and they took advantage of that, told her I wasn't worth it, what I am and brainwashed her. I wasn't there because I ran away because of the abuse I got from them. I only had to look after myself, but even that was hard, I could never be able to support the two of us so I left her at theirs, biggest mistake of my life!" Kasai buried his head in his hands
"Hey Brother!" Mika called
"yes?"
"it's no fun when you're over there!" Kasai looked at Mizore; she was putting on a brave face smiling just a little at him.
"are we OK?" he asked softly
"yeah"
"Come on, it's the only family I got"
By five, they had had a good chance to get to know each other. Mika was totally the opposite of Kasai she was energetic, smiled all the time and was very happy to see Kasai.
"I think it's time to take you home"
"aww so soon?"
"We'll see you tomorrow I'm sure" Mizore said to her
"ok! What are we doing?"
"I'll think of something"
"where are you staying tonight?" Mika asked
"I was thinking of checking in to a hotel. As the meeting with carers didn't go so well..."
"Ok, but won't that be expensive?"
"yeah, but you don't have to worry about things like that, I'll survive" he said ruffling her hair.
"stop that!" she chuckled.
"well. We'll see you tomorrow, I'm sure"
"ok! See you soon!"
"bye!" Mika closed the door. Mizore and Kasai walked; hand in hand together in the quickly setting sun.

"Things have quickly developed between the two of them... I believe that if you don't act now it'll be too late"
"You we're the one who was supposed to stop him what happened you had 10 years!"
"I'm sorry. He was tougher than we expected. But it is you who needs to act"... his eye narrowed.
