After a long day Raven went back home. It was a huge traditional Japanese style mansion with a large gate that eventually opened once he arrived.
""Welcome back Boss!""
Once he returns back he was greeted wildly with a loud voices of men bowing their head with sincere respect.
"Hmn…"
"Boss is there something wrong?"
One of the men that looks around his 40's with a muscular build and notice that his boss has a seriously troubled face.
"Nothing just a bit tired…" Raven answered with a low tone.
"If you need any back up 'The Black Crows' will move in your command!"
"Like I said I'm just tired"
"But…"
"Lenphad I said I'm fine"
"Guah… my apology!"
The man lowered his head as he tried to pleased Raven with an apology for his rudeness.
"Thanks for the concern" Raven said as he walks away towards his room.
"Boss…"
"You should not bother him now you know, since today is that day"
"Huh? What do you mean, Lento?"
He scratches his head while thinking then he quickly remembered the today date.
"Shit! I totally forgot…Today was her death anniversary!"
"Really you are getting old"
"Shut up! Darn it I should have known why our boss is acting like that… it's been two years since Lady Seris died."
"Yeah… she was the only girl that the boss fell in love with but…Something odd about boss today"
"Why is that?"
"Usually he won't bother to talk to us or glare at us with a cold expression but this time… it felt like he was somehow in a good mood"
"That's impossible today is the saddest day for boss how could he be in a good mood"
Lento Sighed before he could reply.
"I don't know I'm not a psychic"
"Tsk!, anyway atleast I'm glad that the boss have finally move on and we owe it to his friends"
"Well I do hope so"

As Raven entered his room, he quickly changed his cloths to his Yukata.
(A/N: Yukata- Jap. Traditional clothes you know like kimono)
Afterwards he went back outside to the terrace where he saw a clear full moon that lights the starry night.
He was in deep thoughts.
He was thinking of someone that reminded him he was human.
-Seris…
Ever since Raven was born to be the next successor of The Black Crow, he was trained to be a strong fighter that led him to become a bitter cold man.
Three years ago, Raven used to be merciless and feared by many. Weak or strong whoever stand in his family name will taste his might brutally.
The one thing he cherished was his family he only bears his fangs towards his enemy, even his own subordinates feared him yet respect at the same time as Raven could sometimes show kindness to his own men like a family, still they never saw their master smile.
But then someone change him.
(Flash back Raven POV)
It was raining that day, my group and me were ambush by our enemy from the close district.
The count was over 10 men versus 5 of us we were in a disadvantage position.
Naturally we fought back but since we were lured in to a trap. The odds were against us that I slowly lost all of my men.
Those cowards using guns as their weapon they don't have honor at all!
From my fallen comrades who fought with me I will take vengeance by taking their lives!
With my anger, I took them one at a time, I was shot but I ignore the pain. The only thing in my mind was to cut my enemy down.
And so I did with my sword soaked with their blood I was the only one that was left standing.
I raised my head towards the rainy sky, I could not feel excitement as the victor since I do not feel a thing inside me.
I am like an empty shell.
'To Kill or be Killed'
The struggle of power had thought me that since my childhood. When I was a boy my parents were assassinated since then I wanted to become stronger to take my revenge and to fear by others.
And so I did, after I became the leader of The Black Crow. I immediately hunt those who had causes my pain. The name of our group became widely spread and feared but soon the chain of hatred didn't stop there.
Consume by revenge I have taken so many life that my hands where tainted with blood, blood I didn't know who it was yet I didn't care soon afterwards my enemy wanted to take revenge on me aiming for my head.
So this current scene was one of them…
Ah the rain was cold like my heart or do I still have it after all I'm a monster.
Hmn?
Shortly I could hear the police cops are coming to my direction.
I started to move my wounded body away from the scene.
Why do I still need to run?
I just don't know…
I walk and walk drench from the rain that my body was starting to get numb and heavy.
Damn I'm too tired…
I took a rest first and lean over to a corner at an ally,
I can fell my breath began to pant my senses becoming dull.
Is this the end?
So my life is nothing more but hatred. Thinking back my past was full of sufferings and pain which most of the time I regret being alive but this is the path that was given to me if only I can chose to change it… yet it is already too late.
Slowly I felt that I was sleepy that my eyes are heavy.
So I obey and close my eyes but then suddenly.
"Are you alright!"
Eh?
I woke up from the voice, it was warm and gentle and for the first time in my life I saw an angel.
A Death Angel?
No..once I had clearly opened my eyes what I saw was.
An Angel that saved me and shortly gave me a beating heart.
Her name was Seris his father was a known doctor. As she found me fatally wounded she quickly rush me to the hospital and because of that I was saved or more like I was given another chance.
During the months of recover she was always visiting me, she was kind and cheerful she didn't fear me at all even thou I told her I was dangerous yet she was fine by it, since then she always smiled at me everytime were together.
Sometimes I was worried of her safety so I tried to push her away but then she stubbornly stays besides me refusing to leave me alone.
So I surrendered and eventually I fell in love.
Our feelings were mutual. I was glad for the first time I was happy to be alive.
Unfortunately her father was against it, I couldn't blame him because of my background. That's why I decided to disband the group and change for the better sacrificing my dark past for a bright future with her was a good deal that I am willing to pay.
Soon my group approved of it without a problem, they were shock at first but strangely they were happy for me.
A year had passed since I met her after a lot of work I started going back to school, I hesitate first but it gradually disappeared because she was supporting me until the end.
My life change drastically that somehow I learned to laugh to smile and to love someone that I thought I'm not capable of.
And it was all thanks to Seris…
But…
It didn't take long my happiness where taken from me in an instant.
Like the day we met, I lost her the same way as the heavens cries.
Perhaps this was the retribution for my sins…
…
…
After recalling the past Raven eyes were filled with sorrow, he could only star at the moon.
He misses her deeply that he was so lonely without her.
He tried to do the things she wishes for him to be…a normal student surrounded with friends enjoying his school-life until he graduate and then having a family.
But…It was not the same without her
Her warm smile, her loving care embrace and her tender love, he misses all of it.
Then suddenly he remembered one brave girl that he encountered.
-Who is she?
Raven wondered why Seris and the young girl look alike yet somewhat different at the same time.
Seris hates fighting she was like a gently refine lady, she would never engage through violence instead she will talk it over peacefully that in the end it gave Raven a trouble time to deal with.
But the girl he just met was different, she may have the same face and warm feeling around her but the way she defeated the hooligans it means she is already use in a fight.
Raven doesn't understand why but strangely he wanted to see that girl again.
…

…
Meanwhile let's go back to Eve's place…
Eve's older brother greeted her while he slowly approaches,
He was wearing a lab coat, his hair was a bit longer that braided back at his head.
His name was Add.
He was getting closer to Eve while wearing a grinned smile on his face and once he was close enough.
"EVEE! Welcome home my beloved Imouto!"
He happily lunch himself towards Eve with opened arms as he was excitingly going to hug her tightly but.
*SWOOSH*
"Aggrh—!"
Eve made a smooth dodge just in a nick of time, which led the young man slamming his face flat to the front door.
"Milady do you want to take a bath first?" Ophelia asked
"Yes"
"Ah! My lovely Imouto why did you dodge my warm hug"
"Nii-san, why are you here…"
"I skip work today just to see you because it's been three weeks since we last saw each other…Onii-chan is so lonely" Add cried.
Eve softly sighed, indeed it's been almost a month since he last saw her weird brother.
Add, the genius (mad) scientist who achieved lots of special award due to his experiments and creation that was known across the globe. He was famous on creating advance bio-technology weaponry and military defense that cannot be compared to any other known scientist.
His proud masterpiece was called 'Nasod' an advance bio-tech robot that can surpass humanity in the future. He dream to surpass God's creation by creation a perfect being that will replace the illogical being such as 'Humans'.
He is a Lunatic and at the same time…
A Sis-con…
"Someone will get angry if you don't get back"
"Kukuku…I'm not scared as long as I can be with my Eve"
Eve slowly looked at him with irritation but afterward she just simply walks away to her room.
"Kukuku~Eve even if you're cold towards me…You're still so cute~"
…
…
After a few hours…
"So how is class" Add started to asked, he wanted to check his sister daily life so he begun to question Eve.
"How long are you planning on staying?" Eve asked back instead
So he was quickly rejected.
"Why! Are you already tired of me?"
"Hai…"
"!?"
Cruelty hit Add hard as he starts to crumble in despair.
"Why do you hate me that much I'm your brother" he cried again.
"Nii-san should know that…"
"Is this because I stalk you for 2 years since you got to school I did say that I'm just worried that you might get contaminated by those disgusting being"
"Or is it because I took photos of you while you were sleeping and made a body pillow from it… as I said I was just lonely through the night on my lab without you"
"Ah! maybe you found out that I accidently ate your favorite chocolate cookies I'm sorry I'll buy you next time a whole shipping trunk if you want to!"
"Enough"
Eve quickly gave him a death glare that instantly Add covered his mouth.
"Nii-san…"
"Yes?"
"Someone coming to pick you up…"
"Eh?"
Confused, Add made a question mark out from his head then suddenly he figure it out why and who might that be.
*Knock*Knock*
Meanwhile, Ophelia who was doing her duty as a maid in the house quickly opens the door.
"Wait! Don't open that door!" Add shouted to the bottom of his lungs.
But it was already too late.
Once the door was opened wide, a young woman with a long red crimson hair and ruby eyes wearing a formal office attire made her appearance.
"Good evening Eve I'm here to get your stupid brother~" the lady smile with a ominous intent
"Good evening Elesis-nee-san"
Her whole name was Elesis Sieghart, Add's secretary and Eve's former teacher.
And mostly 'His' older sister.
"Sorry for bothering you Eve-chan~"
"It's ok I'm glad to see you"
Surprisingly, Eve show a gentle smile that only a few people can see it.
"I'm glad to see you too, I've been busy with work lately so I could not visit you often like before"
Elesis gradually place her hand on Eve's head and pat it gently while Eve was please.
"Wait a minute! That's not fair why do you get the right to pamper Eve and I'm not!"
On the other side, Add who was completely ignored by the two let out his own complaint.
"Shut up!"
"Ekkk!"
Elesis was angry to the point her stares can kill a person.
"You got a lot of nerve to run away from work…did you forget you have an important meeting"
"Tsk! I don't care, those fool old-geezers that only wants to take my Eve away… I am sick of listening to them that is why humans are irrational stupid beings!"
*SMACK!*
"Arrgh! Why did you hit me I'm your Boss!"
"That's because you're acting childish again…if we don't get to that meeting everything is over, Eve will be taken away—"
Elesis gasped, she had completely forgotten that Eve was near, that Eve could clearly hear their conversation that was supposed to be a secret.
"Umm…"
Elesis had calm down her anger, she was now more concern about Eve's reaction.
"Eve about that…"
"I already know"
Eve said with a monotone voice without any expression at all.
"I see…"
Elesis on the other hand felt sad for her, she wanted to tell something to her but she has nothing to say right now.
"Hah! Like hell am I giving Eve to those monkeys! Eve is mine!"
Add declared with furious eyes.
"Come on were going to end this once and for all!"
Add quickly click his fingers and immediately Ophelia came from behind and don him his formal coat.
"…"
"…"
The two ladies aside were speechless from his sudden change of mood but then Elesis do understand him even if his a lunatic, weird and a sis-com.
He was still Eve's older brother in the end.
"Eve don't worry your brother and I will do our best to save you"
As Elesis gently hugged Eve, her eyes started to get teary from the sudden overwhelm feelings that's because Eve have always been like a little sister to her.
"…"
"Like your brother said I too won't allow them to take you away from us"
Afterwards Elesis ended their embraced and quickly she wiped off her teary eyes.
"Yosh! Then let's go" Elesis quickly reverted back to her original mood.
"Right!—wait what the!" Add cried out
"Elesis stop dragging me!"
Add was being drag away towards the exit.
"Where going to be late so let's hurry up"
"But I haven't gave my good-bye kiss to Eve"
"That will have to wait"
"NOOO! EVEEEeee-!"
*THUD*
As soon as they left, the door closed.
"…"
"Worfff"
"Arrff"
"Moby…Remy…"
Eve was left alone but she still have her loyal companions with her by her side.
But still.
"I don't understand…"
This feeling that I do not know…
The reason why Elesis-nee-san and Add-nii-san were too eager to keep me…
Why they were sad and angry if I will be taken away…
Is it because of the term 'Family'?
But…
"I am not human…"
...
...
End to be conti….
