After seeing that Saori had hit her fianc e s back, I casually looked over his shoulder, seeing one of the most terrible and horrific scene that I had seen in my entire life, par only to when cities are devastated by wars, everything inside the house was painted in a dark red tone as coagulated blood, there were two corpses right at the entrance, the nearest I was sure to Yui, a little bit father was one that was so mutilated it was impossible to figure out who it was; Saori found weird that Momiji had stopped so suddenly, because of that she said, trying to look at his face as well:

-Heeey dear! why did you stopped like that? You could have hur - I tried to prevent her from looking inside.
-No Saori! You shouldn t look - however I stopped as soon as I noticed she also stopped, something inside me hurt quite a lot.
-E E E Enmie - Saori muttered, turning towards me and almost beginning to run, being stopped by me ENMIE! ENMIE! CALL ENMIE! BRI NG E M MIE - fainting in my arms next.

After losing conscience, I gently place Saori sitting on the ground with her back touching the wall near the entrance doorframe on the outside part of the house, in a way if she woke up she wouldn t see the horrible scene that was present inside; then I placed myself beside Momiji, ready to do anything that was possible to ease the hit destiny did on him, I felt extremely guilty with what happened, sad as well, but something told me to be strong, as I would be needed soon; I was taken out of my thoughts when we heard a voice, no louder than a whisper, saying: o onii -chan , upon noticing it the nekomimi beside me returned to himself and walked to little Yui-chan s side, lifting her with extreme care seeing she was very wounded and with several bruises on the body, from the corner of her lips blood was running and her right eye was swollen, when she felt she was on her older brother s lap, she looked at him slowly and said:

-O Onii-chan is that really you ? Yui coughed lightly then.
-Yes Yui-chan! It is your onii-chan! Momiji! I saw tears forming on his eyes I am here for you Yui!
-T That is so good nii-chan! Yui missed you so m much - she slowly took her paw to the shorts pocket she was wearing and took something from inside there nii I did this for uncle Ricard it is an amulet for good luck for when he marry with aunt Kikuri - she then gave Momiji small collar made of seeds and feathers.
-That is great little one! I am sure uncle Richard will love you present! replied Momiji, trying at all costs not to let his tears drop.
-Momiji nii-chan Y Yui b behaved - Yui coughed again, at that moment I noticed she was quickly losing her breath, even so she placed her paw over Momiji s n now that Y Yui is a good g girl, onii -chan will not g go away a anymore right? still smiling one last time.
-Yes! Yes! replied Momiji, without being able to keep the tears inside him anymore your brother will not go away anymore! Yui-chan is a good girl that is will I will never leave her anymore! he then hugged her with visible tenderness.
-T That is s so good Yui is s s s s so h h h ha ppy - however, her little green eyes closed next, her breathing stopped, her small paw fell and sung mid-air, however she still had a smile on her face.
-Yes, Yui your brother will - that was the exact moment that Momiji noticed that Yui wasn t among us anymore, he inhaled deeply a great amount of air and, after hugging her tightly, shouted ! beginning to cry a lot in sequence.

I turned my eyes away from Momiji's, as the scene reminded me a lot as to how Kikuri departed; I looked around and noticed that there were on that room, however as far as I knew there were quite a few, I then began searching for the others and that was when something told me to head towards the kitchen, right at the entrance there was another body, this time it was the nekomimi Marcus seeing he was very alike his older brother, but there were two different non-fitting things on this scene, he had a cleaver on his paws and a small dot of light was hovering above his corpse, as soon as I noticed it, it floated until my chest level; I stretched my arm to it and at that instant everything blurred around me and when I noticed, I was on that same room, however there were no blood marks not dead people! At that instant I saw Marcus heading towards the window, saying something:

-Have a car stopped in front of our house? he then looked for some instants and commented oh! It is brother Momiji and Saori! But why are they leaving without entering? he then thought for some seconds I know! They might have forgotten something! at that instant he turned around and saw little Yui oh Yui! Are you awake? What happened? It is still too early!
-Marcusnii-chan Yui replied, wiping the tears I had nightmare bad man hurt us -Oh! A nightmare huh? Marcus then fondled Yui s head and that is why you can t sleep anymore right? Not a problem! Play a little here while I finish breakfast so we all can eat and then I will tell you a story before I go to work?
-Kay Marcusnii-chan! Yui replied, took an old doll and began playing at the room.

After ten minutes passed someone knocked on the door, Marcus shouted Matilda! I am with my paws busy! Would you please answer the door for me? that was when another nekomimi that seemed just younger than him appeared on the room, petted Yui s head and said Hello sis Yui! to which she replied by just smiling and saying Hi! the nekomimi then headed towards the door and as soon as she unlocked it, the door opened with extreme violence, seeing it was force opened with a kick, the girl was thrown to the middle of the room; then entered on the room someone dressed with the same kind of clothes than the one that attacked us on my residence, he had some kind of chain tied around his paws.

-Great! Exactly what I needed! said the man, looking directly at Yui that way he will do anything I tell him to! he then began walking towards the littleon.
-No! Don t do anything to the poor girl! Matilda said, standing up and placing herself between Yui and the attacker for the love of Saint Meow, don t touch the little girl!
-Out of my way! shouted the attacker.

The attacker then raised the paw over his head, throwing it against the nekomimi, something like an iron ball left his paw and it was connected to it with chains, hitting Matilda right in the middle of the forehead with the artifact, as soon as that happened we heard the sound of something like wood snapping and the head of the poor girl opening as if it was a nut, falling on the ground beside Yui, having violent spasms for some moments, stopping a little later; the commotion drew Marcus attention, that as soon as he entered the room holding a cleaver in his paws, had to hold the urge to puke when he saw his sister agonizing on the ground and the little one in danger, right after he recovered, he shouted:

-Son of a bitch! Who are you! Why did you do that! Marcus noticed that he was ignoring him and was going towards little Yui stay away from heeeeer! he charged with the cleaver in paw to attack him.

The attacker didn t need much effort to stop the nekomimi, with a very well placed hit on his stomach with the iron ball made him grimace in pain and fall to his knees holding his belly with his paws while fighting with himself to recover his air; then all other siblings showed up and placed themselves beside Marcus, whom in order to prevent them from seeing the horrible scene that was unfolding before them summoned all his strength and air that were still in him and shouted Get out now! Stay on the kitchen and don t leave until I tell you so! NOW! , thanks to the seriousness on his voice, all of them obeyed without even looking back.

The attacker then proceeded to beat Yui since she wouldn t stop crying with punches, kicks, throws and all imaginable kinds of torture; after a louder shout from the little one, the attacker lost his patience and attacked her as if he was going to punch, however the ball escaped his paw hitting her right over the right eye, the nekomimi then fell to the ground apparently lifeless; the being cursed his lack of luck and, looking towards the kitchen, said:

-Aw crap! I shouldn t have killed the brat! he then began walking towards the kitchen I will have to kill them all now and then I shall end the noble and his toys, that way they might forgive me for my mistakes!

That was when I began listening to what Marcus was thinking at that moment: move yourself Marcus! You cannot let him do whatever he wants! Come on! Move! followed by but I don t want to die! I am afraid of dying! I was capable of hearing him as if he was speaking out loud, at that exact instant the hard and unmistakable voice that belonged to Momiji echoed in the room, just for me and the scared nekomimi Why are the older brothers born before the younger ones? It is to protect them! ; that filled him with unknown courage and determination, he took the cleaver again in his paws and charged against the assassin, hurting him lightly on the left arm; he groaned and looked at the wound full of hatred, saying in sequence:

-Damn you brat, you will regret greatly for what you have done preparing to attack him next.

Marcus then stopped before the kitchen s door blocking the assassin s path, he began being hit in all ways possible, without showing any signs that he would falter; all that was going through his mind was I will protect everyone Momijinii-chan will be proud of me , however the beating up began draining his resistance and vitality, the last thought that crossed his mind before the last hit on his extremely wounded body was while I had life I would protect them nii-chan would you be prideful of me now? ; next the metal ball hit right over his head, when I realized I was again on the room with Momiji, who had left Yui s corpse and was walking towards us; that was when he noticed that Marcus had falling with the cleaver still on his paw, without understanding what was going on, he asked:

-W Why Marcus is with one weapon - he then placed his paw over his mouth n no don t tell me that -Negative Momiji, I know you are in a moment of extreme pain, even I am having trouble being calm at this moment, but if you notice I then pointed to Marcus corpse the wounds are irregular, and not straight like expected from a cutting weapon, what makes us believe that it was a concussion weapon.
-But then, what in the hell happened here? Momiji pointed to Marcus while kneeled beside him.
-With the few I could conclude by observing - I then began explaining what happened based on what I observed, leaving out what surely wouldn t be observable without an deep analysis, concluding - that would explain why little Yui being there, Matilda as well and the others behind him - that was too much for me, I began crying silently then.
-T Then Marcus did you protect those you were able to until the very end just like I told you to? Momiji then hugged the younger brother s corpse, raising it and putting it near him, beginning to cry again admirable Marcus really admirable - a painful cry mixed with pride began running through Momiji s face, that found at least one positive thing among this disaster.
-Hmmm? I heard Saori coming back from her loss of conscience, I was almost heading towards her when I heard her saying w who are y you? M Momiji! then I could see her when she was trying to get inside the house when she was thrown inside to the opposite side of the door, by a extremely violent kick, then I saw someone dressed exactly like the vision enter the room, he looked around and upon seeing me, said next.
-Well well well if it isn t the honorable noble Montecchio Richard! he then laughed mockingly at me next you saved me the work of finding you!
-Accursed you are! I drew my sword and pointed it to him why did you do this coward? Tell me before I end your despicable life!
-You have something that belongs to us! the attacker said between laughs give back what is rightful ours or things like this will continue to happen!
-Ha! As if I would allow you guys to manipulate me like that! I replied placing my on guard, ready to strike tell me what you want from me!
-Don t play fool on me! If not even you knows, it isn t me that is going to tell you! Come give it to me! the attacker paw signed to me, demanding me to hand it to him.
-If you don t want to tell me what you are searching for, I will make you say it! I began running towards him wielding my sword.
-Hey! Hold your horses there! the assassin shouted taking Saori from the ground and wrapping the chains around her neck take one step further and I shall break her neck! Throw your sword to the ground and kick it to me!
