Crashes and loud violent noises echoed throughout the large house. Taito sprung awake in a flash, quickly studying his surroundings with both eyes carefully. It was dark, a late hour for any activity to be taking place...

The small boy frowned, climbing out of bed. He decided finding his brothers was his first priority.

He slowly slid the door open, peaking out and around, just in case. "Hello? Kaito? Akaito? Nigaito?"

He frowned when he received no answer, and slowly walked out of his room, shutting the door silently behind him. His breathing quickened with every sound. His heartbeat drummed in his chest like a hammer. Who was here? Where was his brothers? Where was mom and dad?

He slowly padded his way down the hall and to the staircase. The noises were coming from the downstairs study..
Faintly, he saw more than two shadows in the dim light from the staircase.

He took one step on the staircase, attempting to check out what was wrong.. ...!

A loud yelp followed by thrashing as the small purplette was grabbed from behind, his mouth being covered by larger hands than his own. He was attempting to scream until voices- in hushed whispers- caught his attention.

"Shh..! You idiot, it's me!" His red sibling hissed, holding his mouth tighter. Akaito!

"Please, don't yell..!" Cried his blue sibling next. Kaito..!

Taito nodded quickly, standing still. Akaito quickly let him go, sighing heavily. "Look, get in your room, we've called the police, they'll be here shortly-"

"No! Where's mum and dad?" Taito burst out again, fully intent on finding his parents.

Akaito growled, as Kaito stepped in to speak,

"They'll be fine- you have to hide now, Taito..!"

"No!"

Little feet pitter pattered quickly down the stairs and to the study.

"Taito!"

Bigger feet ran before jumping down the rest of the way, running to the direction of his little brother. His twin followed. "Stop!"

"Taito, you goddamn-"

Freeze.

Taito was frozen in his place at the study door.

Two men he has never seen before in his whole life...

And his parents...

Now a bloody heap on the floor..

"..M...M...mom...? D-Dad...dy...?" Broken questions asked blankly in the still silence in the atmosphere around them.

Akaito was stuck in his tracks, his eyes not leaving the bodies, while his twin promptly vomited in a corner.
The murderers had set their sights on the three boys, their mouths turning into dangerous grins.

"Didn't your parents ever tell you not to stay up past your bedtime...?"

Akaito gulped fear shown fully in his features, mumbling soft words, that at first were unintelligible before they finally made sense..

'Run, run, run, run, run, RUN, RUN, RUN...'

And that's what Taito did.

The purplette ran, he ran as quick as he could towards the front door. Akaito grit his teeth, before scooping up his elder twin, following the young boy to the door. Just moments away from it-

"Kaito-nii!"

Akaito paused. "Shit!"

Upstairs stood the youngest sibling, little Nigaito, coughing quietly into his scarf.

Kaito looked up weakly to the littlest. "C-come quick, Nigaito-" A pause at the end, as smoke was seen wafting into the room.

"...f-fire..."

The study was slowly burning in deadly orangey yellow flames, making their way slowly outside the room, studying the area for the culprits of the crime...

There wasn't much time!

"Run, Nigaito! RUN!"

Nigaito nodded, quickly complying with the request, heading down the stairs as quick as he could..

That's when it all happened within a flash..

Crooks running and holding their weapons above the young boy.

A screech-

A flash of purple...

The splatter of blood...

Another loud scream...

Fire spreading to the staircase...

And the police barging into the whole scene..

The second youngest woke up.

Half of the room had gotten dark on him, while the other half was very white, and very well lit...

Then it came back to him.

He sat up slowly, before placing a right hand to his right eye, tracing the finely wrapped bandages around his head.

He sniffled softly, tears flowing from his only eye. The dull stinging sensation was still there, creating more discomfort. '...gone..? Are they really... ...'

At that moment, a burst of Red, Blue, and green ran in, all looking quite tired and worried sick.
"Omigod, Taito!" A sob, followed by a tight hug from Kaito. Akaito sighed heavily. "God, we thought we lost you there..."

Nigaito sniffled, crying as much as Kaito probably was. "Y-you g-got hurt b-because of m-me..." He whispered, his gaze meeting the ground sadly.

Taito frowned, wiping away any tears he shed. "W...we're a family... I did it for family... I-I'm alive now, right?"

Nigaito nodded quickly, "B-but-"

"I know, Nainai..." The purplette whispered, his never ending hug from Kaito slowly killing the air from his lungs.

"We'll all be together now, though.. So please, please don't be sad, because.." He paused, before looking at the ceiling up at the bright light, his gaze growing distant as he spoke..

"...Mom... and dad... they wouldn't want you to hurt yourself over something you didn't do... r..right...?"
