Suprise of two

~Memories of the past~

In the backstreets of a city two orphans huddled together to fight off the cold.

"I'm hungry brother when we eat again? "

Standing up the slight taller orphan, pulled up his new sister, "I'll go find us food, while I do that think you can find boxes to make a better place? "

"Yes! Maybe I'll find a blanket too! Remember to hurry brother. Got to keep your promise" The little girl smiled wide, waving her brother away.

Running in the direction of the food district, the little boy saw a bakery with bread outside the shop with a 50% clearance. "They won't miss this bread will they? I can get the little sis lots of food." Before he could even touch one piece of bread his hand was grabbed firmly.

"~Ah, a little thief. Little thief, little thief why steal my bread?"

"...I need it... for my new little sister, she's hungry and we have no food."

"Tell me is there any one one else with you besides the girl? "

Should I tell the truth the little boy wonder this strange man does not seem bad although a little girly.

"So it is just you and her...Hmm... "

"Wait I never said anything!"

"Your silence did."

"Oh..."

"Bring her to my shop, I think I've a place both of you can go. "

"How do I know if your not lying to me?"

"You don't. Frankly it's either trust me or die on the street. "

"I'll bring her but please don't hurt her she's all I got."

~back to present~

That's how it all started for us. Your mom doesn't remember anymore due to an incident at the academy. She only remembers her mentor and the friends she made afterwards. I was sent to the academy earlier due to becoming the original number 4's pupil I always watched her from behind, remembering the promise I made to her about being with her always.

Tilting his small head, ryu had confuse written on his face. "Mom was an orphan?"

"Yeah I don't know why either. However that is the past and I'm looking towards the future with her. "

"Okay only if I say yes first though. "

*awkward silence*

"So am I gonna be the next number 4 Uncle?"

Coughing from shyness, "No, Ryu. Yu Li wants you to be the next leader. The next number 4 has yet to be born yet. "

"Ah."
