Author's Note: OHMYGOSHTHANKYOUFORREVIEWINGANDLIKING- Sorry I get energetic and happy sometimes :) Actually though? Thanks so much. It really means a lot. The chapters will be longer from now on- I kind of just have to save and go to do something, but it was a good place to stop, so :)

Here's the next chapter!

The young man blinked twice, confusion written plainly on his face. "Who's... Who's Tadashi?"

The boy in front of him cocked his head slightly, squinting at him like he should know whoever this 'Tadashi' person is. "Um... You, idiot."

The young man felt a wave of anger. This boy didn't even know him- how dare he call him an idiot!

"I am not Tadashi." The young man suppressed his anger, telling himself he would not touch this child. He felt... Distantly connected to him, for some strange reason.
The smaller boy looking at him again. "Yes, you-"

"No, I am not!" The man snapped, his anger seizing hold of him, as it had every day for the past... 3 weeks? 2 weeks? He couldn't be sure- even Chichi Kyarahan would not tell him the time, or anything, for that matter.

He'd been left in the dark for 3... ish weeks. With nothing. And the first thing he sees is a group of young adults, a teenager, and a robot trying to attack him! Like he'd done something wrong!

At least he didn't think he'd done anything wrong.

One of the only clear things he could remember was waking up. The ceiling- the ceiling was a cold, stone gray. And then Chichi Kyarahan. And then... Almost everything else was fuzzy from there. But he did remember Chichi Kyarahan giving him a mask- a Kabuki mask, he'd realized- and a name.

Kasai.

"It means fire," Chichi Kyarahan had explained. "In-"

"Japanese." Kasai had interrupted.

Chichi Kyarahan glanced at him, confused for a moment. Then, "Yes... Exactly."

Kasai hadn't been sure whether to feel proud of disappointed. He felt as if he'd impressed and disappointed Chichi Kyarahan at the same time. Finally, Kasai decided on trying to forget everything except the mask and his new name, Kasai.

The younger boy had been taken aback. Part of Kasai felt bad- but most wanted him to get out and give him his mask back. "If..." He seemed to be having trouble formulating words. "If you're not Tadashi... Then... Then who are you?"

Kasai narrowed his eyes. Why does this kid want to know? Why is he even here- When will he and the rest of his stupid team of kids go? Kasai crossed his arms, holding back a wince as he moved one of his burned shoulders.

Chichi Kyarahan hadn't said where he'd gotten his burns, but Kasai hadn't asked. He hadn't felt the need, plus Chichi Kyarahan wasn't around as much anymore. He mostly came back to tell Kasai things- like about his project. He would never say exactly what his project was, just that it was important. And that Kasai himself would help finish it.

Today Chichi Kyarahan had told him to walk around and explore his home.

Well, Kasai did. And he wasn't entirely happy with here it was.

The young boy looked up at Kasai, staring at his eyes. The boy's eyes were so wide, his iris's so brown. Kasai had seen his reflection once before in a mirror, and he remembered his eyes looking like that.

"Keep you're identity a secret, Kasai." Chichi Kyarahan had said. "It is important and will save you in most situations."

"Why must I?" Kasai had asked.

"Because the real world can't know who you are just yet." Chich Kyarahan had smiled before talking about his project again.

Kasai had noticed his mind wandered a lot, mostly trying to remember memories from a time he'd forgotten. Or anything from that time, as a matter of fact.
But now, Kasai was letting his mind wander as a distraction.

He would follow Chichi Kyarahan's instructions. He would please him. He would.

"Who are you?" The boy repeated softly.

Kasai felt anger rise in him, but then he felt a comforting hand on his unburned shoulder. Looking back, his eyes met Chichi Kyarahan's.

The boy's eyes had widened more. "P... Professor Callaghan?"

Chichi Kyarahan narrowed his eyes, smiling. "Hello Hiro."

The boy's- Hiro's- eyes Kasai's again. "What did you do to him?" He asked, looking back towards Chichi Kyarahan.

"He saved me." Kasai snapped. "He's done more to help me than anyone-"

"Kasai." Chichi Kyarahan's grip tightened on Kasai's shoulder.

The Hiro boy winced at the name. "Tadashi-"

"He's not Tadashi anymore." Chichi Kyarahan snapped, taking a step closer towards the boy called Hiro. "He's Kasai."

"What did you do to him?" Hiro demanded.

Chichi Kyarahan's eyes narrowed. "Why does it matter to you?"

"He's my brother, for god sake!" Hiro snapped, stepping backwards once Chichi Kyarahan had gotten extremely close to him. "I... He's my brother."

Brother?

Kasai had never thought about any family other than Chichi Kyarahan. "I have-"

"Kasai, quiet." Chichi Kyarahan snapped.

Kasai fell silent, but kept his eyes on Hiro. His otouto, his little brother.

Suddenly, he felt warm- like a piece of him was complete. He had a brother.

"Don't yell at him." Hiro answered, his tone firm. "Do-"

Chichi Kyarahan was suddenly up in Hiro's face. "Do not tell me what to do."

"Chichi Kyarahan." Kasabi blurted.

Kasabi had momentarily distracted his Chichi. "What?"

Kasabi didn't know what to say anymore. "I..." He met eyes with Hiro. His little otouto looked terrified. Instinctively, Kasabi felt the need to help him escape- to get him away from Chichi Kyarahan. Not knowing why Hiro would be afraid of his Chichi, Kasabi blurted out, "It hurts." His eyes met with Hiro again and he prayed that his little brother understand what he was doing for him.

Although he didn't even know the boy, he felt like Hiro was his responsibility. It was instinct to help him get away, even if it was against his Chichi's orders. It was if something was controlling him, making him distract his Chichi to help his otouto get away.

For all Kasabi knew, the boy might not even be his otouto, and he just helped some random kid get away. But he doubted that. Why would Hiro lie about something like that?

"What hurts?" Chichi Kyarahan asked, his hand falling away from Hiro, who silently started to back away.

"My..." Kasabi thought for a moment before lying. "My... My shoulder."

"You're-"

"Yes."

Hiro was halfway up the stairs, moving away from Kasabi and his Chichi.

"Did you reapply today?"

Kasabi nodded. He never forgot.

"Then-"

"I don't know, it just hurts."

"Can it wait?"

Without meaning too, Kasabi nodded.

His Chichi turned back to where Hiro should have been. His eyes widened with rage, looking over at Kasabi. "You helped him?"

"I-"

Chichi Kyarahan started to-

He started to advance on Kasabi.

AN Again:

Sorry if it sort of went downhill... And is confusing- it's kind of supposed to be, because Kasabi remember nothing before waking up. I also have no idea where this is going. I have an idea, but if you have any better ideas, PLEASE tell me!

Anyways, I'm done here! And I'll see you in the next fan fiction!
