Gonta was walking towards the park. Based on what Seiko had said to him on the phone, she needed to talk to him.
"It`s something you should`ve known for a while now" she had said. Now that it was the weekend, he finally had some free time.
"I wonder just what she needs to tell me" Gonta thought to himself as he was walking. As he reached the park, he saw that Seiko was sitting by herself on a bench. She was now wearing a white shirt covered by a brown jacket, a red skirt that was a bit longer than the ones at school, thigh high black socks and her regular slippers.
"Heyo!" Seiko shouted while waving at him. Gonta lightly smiled at her and waved back. Luckily, there were no one else in the park at the moment. Gonta sat down next to her.
"So, what is you wanted to tell me?" Gonta asked. Seiko`s expression then softened.
"It`s about your brother" Seiko replied. Gonta`s smile then faded. "You know how he was killed right?" Seiko asked. Gonta only nodded in reply. "The thing is…I killed him" Seiko said, "I was taken over by the darkening…and I killed him". Gonta remained silient until he put a hand on her shoulder and gave her a weak smile.
"It`s okay, I know you didn`t mean to do it" his smile then faded, "But…I need some time…before I can forgive you fully" he said. Seiko only gave him a nod in reply.
"Excuse me" they heard someone say. They turned in the direction of the voice. It was a young girl (about 15 years old would be Gonta`s guess). She had short red hair and red eyes. She wore a black tank top, blue high cut shorts, thigh high blue socks and black shoes.
"Hinata-san!" they heard someone else shout. It was Keybi, who was now running towards the girl called Hinata. Not far behind her was Zenka.
"Hey Keybi, Zenka" Hinata said. Zenka only gave her a devious grin and slapped her butt. "OW! What was that for?" Hinata asked irritated.
"Sorry, but I couldn`t resist slapping dat ass" Zenka replied with a cheeky grin. Hinata only shook her head while Keybi giggled.
"Shinohara, who are these people?" Gonta asked.
"The youngest one is Keybi Namikage, next to her is her brother Zenka Namikage, yeah I know, he looks like a girl. Lastly, that other girl must be a friend of theirs" Seiko replied.
"I see" Gonta said.
"Wait, if they are here…oh my GOSH! I need to go, see you later" Seiko said, then ran off.
Night-time:
After their most recent date, Nana and Ryutaro were walking home. They had went to see a movie, a comedy one to get their moods up.
"Do you know how Gonta-kun is doing?" Nana asked.
"He says he`s doing fine, but I`m not so sure" Ryutaro replied. "He seemed pretty down about something, I don`t know what though". As they continued to walk, they heard a strange noise.
"What was that?" Nana asked. Then, out of nowhere, Ryutaro was shot in the leg.
"Dammit!" Ryutaro yelled in pain as he kneeled and grabbed his leg.
"Ryutaro" Nana yelled. Just then, a man came from the bushes and, while pointing the gun at Nana, walked over to Ryutaro. He then kicked Ryutaro in the stomach, then he grabbed Nana by the mouth and lifted her off the ground.
"Let her go you asshole" Ryutaro exclaimed.
"Sorry, but you`re not in a position to be giving me orders" the man chuckled in response. He then felt a tap on his shoulder. He turned around and was met with a fist in his face, causing him to drop Nana and his gun. As he looked at the person who punched him, he simply got up and ran away. Nana coughed, then she got up and ran towards Ryutaro.
"Are you alright?" she asked, kneeling down beside him.
"I`ll be fi-gik" Ryutaro tried to say, but was interrupted by the pain in his leg. He groaned in pain, causing Nana to gasp in concern.
"We need to get him somewhere safe" their savior said. He took Ryutaro`s arm, slung it over his shoulder and began walking to find a safe place, with Nana following close behind. They found a bench in a nearby park and placed him on it. Luckily, there was a streetlight near the bench
"Thank you for saving us Denka-san" Nana said.
"No problem" the man called Denka said.
"Wait, you know him?" Ryutaro asked.
"Yes, this is Denka Amatoya. Nari-chan`s father" Nana replied. She then turned towards Denka. He had brown hair and purple eyes. He wore a green shirt and black pants. "So I was right, you lied. Why, why would you lie like that?" Nana asked, on the verge of crying.
"I didn`t believe you at first, but once I heard that she "never existed" yet I still remembered her, I understood that you were right" Denka replied.
"Go figure" Ryutaro stated while rolling his eyes. Nana pulled a handkerchief from her pocket and wrapped it around the wound.
"I hope that helps" Nana said sadly, "I feel so useless". Ryutaro put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, you`re doing what you can to help" he assured her. "I`m going to assume that you got a charm to remember your daughter" he said to Denka.
"That`s right" Denka said. Just then, they heard a strange noise. "That`s my ring tone" Denka said and pulled his phone out of his pocket. He then started talking into it. "Hello? Yes…alright then. Okay bye" he said and closed it.
"Who was it?" Nana asked.
"Just an acquaintance" Denka replied. Just then, Ryutaro noticed a piece of a newspaper on the ground. It was a piece of an old newspaper article, the same one that Ayumi had shown her friends. He picked it up and read it. After he was done reading it, he looked towards Denka and held the piece of paper towards him.
"Did you drop this?" he asked.
"Yes" Denka replied and took the piece of paper. Ryutaro then began to stand up, Nana quickly got up and put his arm over her shoulder.
"You`re not going anywhere alone in that condition" she told him sternly.
"Right" Ryutaro said, giving her a solemn smile. He then turned to face Denka. "I can lead you to Tsutsuki" Ryutaro told him. This caused Denka to raise an eyebrow.
"You know someone with that name?" he asked.
"Yeah, I do. Follow me if you want to see him for yourself" Ryutaro replied and began walking, leaning on Nana for support. Denka silently followed them.
"There`s no way Zero and Maria`s child is still alive. They have been dead for nine years, how could their child not be dead?" he thought while walking. The three of them walked past a few more streetlights, until Ryutaro stopped. He checked the time on his watch.
"10:30 PM huh? Perfect" he said quietly. In front of them was a rather old apartment. While the planks were somewhat rotten, the windows were completely fine. Ryutaro knocked on the door.
"Come in!" they heard someone shout from the other side of the door. Ryutaro opened the door and went inside with Denka behind him. As they entered the living room, they saw Gonta sitting by a desk. What he was doing, however, none of them could tell, due to the stack of books at the table.
"Hey man" Ryutaro said to catch Gonta`s attention. He turned towards them and just sat there staring, unsure of what to say.
"Um, please sit down" he said, pointing towards the couch. They did as he said and sat down on the couch. Gonta moved his chair over to the table in front of the couch and sat down on it. "So, what are *yawn* you doing here at this hour?" he asked, yawning.
"Well, Denka-san wanted to meet you" Nana replied. Denka just silently stared at Gonta, deep in thought.
"Hmm, he does have his mother`s eyes. His face also resembles his father…only one thing" Denka thought. "What`s your name?" he asked.
"Gonta Tsutsuki" Gonta replied.
"…Then that settles it" Denka murmured. Gonta tilted his head in confusion. "My name is Denka Amatoya. Zero and Maria Tsutsuki were friends of mine during my childhood" Denka said. Gonta`s eyes went wide at this statement.
"This guy knows mom and dad? He`s also Nari`s father, that`s so strange" Gonta thought to himself.
"Tell me something, how is it you`re still alive?" Denka asked.
"You wouldn`t believe me if I told you" Gonta replied, then he let out a loud yawn.
"Sounds like you need some sleep" Nana said. "Have you gotten to know what you need Denka-san?" she asked.
"I have, so we can leave now" Denka replied. Nana nodded and helped Ryutaro get up.
"By the way, what happened to Ryutaro?" Gonta asked.
"It`s a long story" Ryutaro replied. "See you around" he said.
"See you around" Gonta said. Nana waved at him as they exited the door and Gonta waved back. After the door was closed, Gonta sat down on his chair. He then put his hand on his forehead and lightly sobbed.
"Why, why must this happen to me?" he asked himself.
