SAVING ME

Chapter 50 – Young Love

Kiyoko Takahashi twisted his fingers, turning and stroking the wax crayon over the paper. When she was finished she lifted the paper with the stick figures in appreciation and raced to show her mother, who was downstairs eating with Aiko.

The little girl jumped up on the table and showing her mother the beautiful drawing. Rin, smiled, though she hated to admit that Kiyoko's drawing skills were good for her age, the little girl's was still barely identifiable.

"Wow Kiyoko, is that me and daddy on our wedding day?" she asked looking at the picture of a brown haired stick figure in white and the dark haired figure with gold eyes.

"But why is daddy's hair black?" Rin asked and watched the confusion on her daughters face.

"No mama, this is me and 'Suke, we're gonna get married!" she announced and Rin choked, coughing up her cereal as her daughter rubbed her back with a worried expression.

When she had retained her composure she looked to her daughter who apparently had been serious. Flushing, the woman struggled as she broke the news to Kiyoko.

"Kiyoko, you can't get married to Daisuke…he's your brother…" Rin whispered and watched as an expression of confusion, then hurt and then determination.

"But I love 'Suke!" she said fiercely in her childish voice. Rin wondered numerous times why he daughter was so smart and pugnacious for her age.

"But brothers and sisters can't get married baby…" Rin whispered, trying to cup her daughter's shoulder but the little girl wrenched away, her hazel eyes flashing more green than brown and letting a shiver of fear…of the memories…run through her mother.

"I don't care what you say mama…Imma marry 'Suke!" she shouted fiercely and ran upstairs.

"Hello Daisuke…" whispered Kagura in her best Dr. Tanabi voice, as he entered the room, looking back at Miroku who also head a confused expression. Miroku scratched his head. Since he had been taking the little boy to his counseling sessions, it was the first the woman had ever locked him outside…she always gave him leave to use her kitchen. Something was wrong…but assuming she wanted to try some new technique the man leaned against the wall, contemplating what could have caused the sudden shift in the woman.

With narrowed eyes, Daisuke followed the woman as she lead him into her private office and not her living room. Feeling extremely uneasy, the boy continued to take note of her behaviour. His brows drew close as he noted that she had changed her carpet to a green one instead of the white she usually had, he even noted the slight mess on her desk.

"Dr. Tanabi, you changed your carpet?" he asked and she turned, smiling…no smirking at him, it made him so uneasy…reminding him of one of the woman who always used to visit Koga. They would come together like animals regardless of if he saw, and she would smirk in a similar way.

"Dr. Tanabi…may I go to the bathroom?" he asked softly and she cocked her head to the side before she nodded.

The little boy scurried to the bathroom and opened the cupboard under the sink, crawling inside he pulled out his phone.

Miroku picked up on the first ring.

"Miroku…she called me Daisuke…and she answers to Doctor Tanabi…and she changed her rug…" the little boy whispered, hearing the man's quickly indrawn breathe.

"Where are you?" he demanded in complete urgency, even though the man was usually comical and smiling.

"In the bathroom…under the cupboard…" he whispered and heard the dial tone before the loud sound of a gunshot and a door splintering in the distance. He heard a scream and the shout of a man, along with the faint sound of scuffling, and running out in fear that Miroku had been hurt he came in time to see the man standing over a bloody Dr. Tanabi, with blood leaking from a cheek almost carved open.

Daisuke turned to see the burning green eyes of the most beautiful girl he had ever seen. She launched towards him and they fell back together, her knife nipping at his arm before she rose up quickly and ran for the door, knife in hand.

She turned to look at them with tear filled eyes, "I won't stop until the Takahashi family pays for their crimes!" she whispered and flung the knife at Miroku. By the time he had dodged and looked towards the door she was gone.

He looked towards the boy, taking out his phone in the meantime to call the police and paramedics.

While Daisuke, ignorant of his bleeding arm, came to the comprehension…that he, Daisuke Takashi, at seven years old...was in love.

A/N: I think I want to have a poll…maybe I shouldn't end this so…cliff-hanger-y. lol. Anyways, Daisuke realized off the bat that Dr. Tanabi was a fake because she calls him 'Suke like Kiyoko and has OCD so she wouldn't have a mess or change her rug randomly. I wanted to explain all that but I didn't get too…sorry, I been so busy at work…even overtime. I'm stressed out but I had to finish this…Thanks everyone for all the reviews and for your support, I love you guys *big kisses*
