Chapter 12

Winter is soon to come it's getting colder and colder outside so you can see people wearing scarfs and jackets the same with me I wear the scarf my brother just knitted for me during the summer I did not even know he knows how to knit

Today my brother is coming back along with mom and dad, my parents wanted to visit Japan and of course they wanted to see me that's to unfortunate you see they really come here to visit brother's grave you know who I am referring to my elder brother Sanjiro

I'm at school, I go by bike now I don't usually use my motorcycle if going to school these days I wonder why, I just wanted it to

It's P.E class today so I went to girls changing area my other classmates are already at the field we were going to run that's what our lesson is all about today

After changing clothes, I went to the field and approaches the guy I'm close to at our classroom who refers to me as his friend

"Suou Shinya, it took you a while" he put his shoulder on me

"Get off me you might caught my cold" I sneezed

Yes, I am sick, maybe because of the cold weather

"That's alright it's from you so it's okay"

"Don't flutter shrimpy"

When the teacher arrives, the class started I was called first along with my other girls' classmate when we heard a fire gun sound it means we should start running 1 lap

*BOOM*

I run as fast as I can, I'm leaving those guys behind, I'm on the lead and I finish first

"Not bad Suou" the teacher complimented me

I was breathing heavily, and Sano handed me a bottle of water it's warm not cold nor hot

"Thanks" I said and drink it, he already removes the lid

I look at him and I saw him wink and I almost spitted on my shirt

I give the empty bottle back at him and sat down on the nearest bench

Time passed by so easily, I am going back home with my bike

Brother Sarai texted me that they already arrived

When I opened the door at our house the lights are on and it's pretty noisy inside, so I took more steps and saw my parents and my brother

"How's your day Shinya?" mom appeared in front of me and hug me really tight

"I'm okay" I answered too blunt

"We miss you darling" Dad came by and join the hug even brother joined us

"I miss you all as well" I smiled

It's too warm, I've missed this feeling so much

"I'll cook dinner go ahead and watch T.V" said mom and kissed my forehead before heading to the kitchen

"Did you visit Brother?" I asked

My Mom nodded "We stop by earlier" Dad said and showed me a smile

I put my bag on the couch and grabbed water on the fridge

"Sarai, we run out of soy sauce you go buy one" Mom ordered brother

I step by "I'll go buy it brother need a rest" I said and headed outside

I went to the nearest convenience store and bought soy sauce and a few snacks and drinks

I was walking on the road peacefully when I heard a sudden explosion

My eyes widened because the sound came from the direction where our house is so I did not hesitate and run as fast as I can to reach the house

I even stumble and fall because I'm really worried and all negative ideas come to mind

The time I reach the house it was burning in flame

Just what I thought, I drop the bag of snacks, soy sauce and beverage on the ground and hurried inside the house even if it's burning

Fire is all over the place, but I still enter and look for my mom, my dad, and my brother

I went to the living area first and saw dad lying on the ground he was shot by a gun straight to its head I checked if he still has pulse but it's impossible his dead, I went to the kitchen same situation to my mom she was shot in the head and I started to cry

My brother is not at the scene, so I look for him upstairs and their I saw my brother struggling he wasn't shot in the head but he was dying because his loosing a lot of blood, I came to him, I checked his pulse he has still pulse but to weak

"Brother what happened? Why is this happening? Brother can you here me?" I tried to stop the blood from pouring

His eyes were opened and I'm sure he was staring at me "S-sh-i-n--------------ya, r-run"

His eyes were still opened but his words ended there I checked his pulse once again but his already dead, I closed his eyes and went to find the culprit

And as what to I expect I've seen the culprit it's a guy he wears the same uniform of the rising sun and has left the flag of the rising sun on the scene

"I guess I can't hide my identity anymore" the guy removes his hood and turned around at me

I was in the state of shock when I saw his face clearly

He was grinning and smiling, I can't even believe what I'm seeing right now? I can't believe he did this to my family and to the other

"Muichiro Meiji" I muttered full of anger

"That's right that's me I am Muichiro Meiji" he laughs ridiculously

I was irritated and to angry "WHY DID YOU KILL THEM? WHY DID YOU KILL THE THOSE PEOPLE? WHY DID YOU KILL MY BROTHER? HOTARU-SAN? EBISU-SAN? YATO-SAN? EVEN MY PARENTS AND MY BROTHER SARAI? WHY DID YOU DO THAT?" I yelled as much as I can

"Simple, because they took away everything from me"

"What do you mean took everything from you? You're the one who took everything from me!"

"That's right I'm taking everything away from you just like what they did to me"

"They are not murderer like you"

"Just like I said they took everything from me, I should be the one ruling the world, I should be the best delinquent of all, I should own everything they had, I'll kill everyone I hate" he laughs once again

He kills them out of hatred how could you

"You're a monster"

"Am I, I let you enjoy this moment, I'll kill you slowly and once I killed everyone precious to you I'll kill you" he vanish

"Damn It"

I won't forgive you; I bury you to death

I was furious

But my surroundings are on fire, I need to get out of here immediately

I left the house with my parents and brother Sarai's corps and I get back inside to look for my pet chicken gladly his safe 

Later that moment ambulance came by and severed the fire police also came to investigate

I did not turn Meiji to the police because I will be the one who get him

My family is gone, my house is gone

I was carrying Moiriye in my right hand while my left hand is driving to Zandaka's old house

I went inside it's pretty dusty, so I cleaned and put Moiriye on the bench

I left the house and bought some dinner after buying I went back and eat

The next day I receive tons of ding song bell I opened it and saw Rize, Matsuri, Rekishi, Chizuhara, and Kanae outside, I let them in

"How did you know I'm here?" I asked while munching squishy candy

"I heard what happened? How are you feeling?" Rize asked

Rekishi and Matsuri is putting a lot of food and drinks on the fridge, Kanae was arranging snacks on the cabinet while Chizuhara put new clothes on the closet

"What do you think I'm feeling? And why did you even buy all of these stuffs?" I throw them a puzzled look

"it's for you" Rize mumbled

I lie down on the couch and closed my eyes

Matsuri said "We did a proper burial for your parents and brother it's besides Sanjiro-nii-san"

I opened my eyes "Thank you for doing that"

"How are you feeling?" Kanae once asked

"In rage, I'm covered with sadness, anxiety, anger, and loneliness"

"Did you see the culprit?" Rekishi asked

"Was it rising sun again?" Chizuhara got the idea

"I saw their leader, Muichiro Meiji, I don't want you all to get involve with this matter any further and as much as possible please stay away from me" I said very honest

"Muichiro Meiji his Kamakura Gang Leader so the former leader of Musaigen and he is Mugen Shoto" Matsuri analyzed

"Let's think of a plan to get rid of him" Rize appointed

"We must be prepared they are not that easy" Chizuhara warned

They don't even listen to what I just said, to stay away from that matter and stay away from me because I don't want them to get killed

They look at me with reassuring look

"Don't worry about us leader we are prepared to die" – Rekishi

"Leader I've expected this to happen long ago, so I am prepared anytime" – Matsuri

"I devoted my heart to you Leader, and I am ready to die just for you" – Rize

"I will die if it means protecting you, Leader – Chizuhara

"I am prepared, I'll stay with you forever even if it means I'll die, Leader" – Kanae

"WE ARE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER LEADER" – Zandaka

My eyes had given another light

"With you I'll succeed" I cried and huge them

It makes me happy

Their words and their self

I am happy and sad at the same time

I will come prepared and put an end to you

Muichiro Meiji
