Chapter 2 - One of them?

Never forgetting you[br]

Chapter 2 – One of them?[br]
Kisshu sighed as he placed the picture back on his bedside table, he walked to the bathroom and took a shower, while taking it he leaned against the wall as the water run down his body and closed his eyes…[br]
“Why…why do I still have this hope that I will see her again…it has been twelve years since they took her…I don’t know what they have been doing to her…I don’t even know if she is alive…but why I still hold this hope that I will see her again one day…”[br]
He turned off the water and stepped out of the tub; he put his clothes on and walked downstairs while drying his hair. His grandfather was already up and eating breakfast, he looked up and smiled at his seventeen year old grandson when he walked in the room.[br]
“Good morning, Kisshu”[br]
“Morning…” he replied in a dry tone, his grandfather sighed. Kisshu and his grandfather haven’t been properly in the good terms since twelve years ago, since that day the two men took Ichigo away, his grandfather tried to make up with him but Kisshu didn’t want to give in, he blamed his grandfather for letting the two men taking Ichigo away from the village, away from him. Kisshu’s grandfather sighed again, remembering what happened shortly after Ichigo was taken…[br]
“WHY?! WHY YOU LET THEM TAKE HER AWAY?!” yelled the young Kisshu at his grandfather, rage, madness, anger was all he felt right now towards his grandfather.[br]
“Kish please try to understand, Ichigo just like every human is blessed with an animal feature, without her parents here she has got nobody to help her control her powers. Those men took all the children of her age to help them and teach them how to control their animal instincts.”[br]
“She is just 3 years! Almost 4! And you let those men take her to God knows where, doing what the hell they want to her!”[br]
“Kisshu they are going to help her, those men specialized in this kind of cases, they are going to help her”[br]
“And you believe in them?! How do you know they won’t use her for experiments or even kill her?!”[br]
“Kisshu…”[br]
“I made a promise; I promised I would protect her no matter what! And now thanks to you I can’t fulfill this promise! I HATE YOU!!” yelled Kisshu as he ran to his room and slammed the door.[br]
“Kisshu!”[br]
Kisshu didn’t say anything else to his grandfather; he just put the milk in a glass and quickly drank it, the less time he stayed near his grandfather, the better. As soon as he finished, he walked to the door and opened it but before he left, he was stopped by his grandfather calling him.[br]
“Kisshu…how long are you going to act like this with me…? It has been twelve years…”[br]
“Yes…it has been twelve years since you took my best friend away from me…”[br]
“Kish…you’re never going to forgive me…? Are you never going to understand that what I did was for her own good?”[br]
“Good…? GOOD?! How can you say something like that?! How can you say that taking away a young girl, letting two unknown men take her away to do the hell they want with her, how can you say that doing this was for her own GOOD?!”[br]
“Kisshu, please, understand that I would have been pleased to have her live here with me and you but we didn’t know how to take care of her when her powers started to show up.”[br]
“I would have find a way to help her but I would NEVER let unknown people lay a single finger on her!”[br]
“Kish do you love this girl…?”[br]
“Maybe I did but you destroyed my chance to be happy when you decided to let them take her”[br]
“Kish please, forgive me…”[br]
“Never…only one more year, one more year and I will leave this damn house and go live to my own” said Kisshu in a cold tone and with that he left the house, leaving his grandfather alone and sighing…[br]
------------------------- ………….. ------------------------------------[br]
Kisshu walked alone down the streets, his face only showed one emotion…sadness and nothing else, nobody could ever understand how important Ichigo was to him, how much it hurt him to be away from her…[br]
“Hey Kish!” called a voice, Kisshu stopped in his tracks and turned around to face the person who talked, he found his two alien friends walking to him, one was taller than him, had purple hair caught in a pigtail that fell ahead from his ears like Kisshu’s two pigtails, he had dark purple eyes, his face was always serious, he barely smiled, his name was Pai and he was nineteen. The other one, the one who called Kisshu, was the shortest of the three of them; he had dark brown hair with two pigtails on the top of his head and orange eyes, his name was Taruto and he was twelve, both the two boys had big and pointy ears like Kisshu since they also were aliens.[br]
“Hey guys…” said Kisshu trying to hide his sad tone but failed completely, Taruto didn’t know why but Pai knew[br]
“Let me guess, you’re down like this because today is the 12nd anniversary…” said Pai, Kisshu sighed and nodded. Pai was seven years old when the demons attacked the village, twelve years ago while Taruto was only a newborn when all of this happened, like Kisshu, Pai also lost his parents in the battle but Taruto didn’t, his parents were able to survive the battle and both of them were willing to take in Kisshu and Pai in their family before they knew that the two orphan boys still had family alive, Kisshu had his grandfather while Pai had his aunt and uncle.[br]
“What? What happened twelve years ago?” asked Taruto curiously[br]
“Kisshu lost his best friend twelve years ago, a human girl with cat features if I remember well” said Pai[br]
“What? Did she die in the battle?”[br]
“No, she was taken by two men who said that they would help her and the other humans with animal features to control their powers” Kisshu only scolded at this[br]
“Ehh?? That’s weird…”[br]
“It is…and I don’t even know if what they said was true…I don’t even know what they did to her there…” spoke finally Kisshu in a sad tone; Taruto looked at him with a sad look[br]
“Was she really that important to you Kish?”[br]
“You don’t know how much, Tart…”[br]
Pai and Taruto tried not to touch in the Ichigo subject in front of Kisshu during all the day until Taruto suddenly remembered something.[br]
“Oh yes! Now I remembered something that my mother told me today!”[br]
Both the older alien boys looked at him with a curious look[br]
“My mother told me that she and other people were going to be very busy today, cleaning a big apartment for the new people that are moving to this village”[br]
“New…people…?” said Kisshu[br]
“Yes, I believe they are humans and I think most of them are around yours and Pai’s age”[br]
“I have heard a few rumors about that too in the past days but I didn’t know if it was really true or not” said Pai, Kisshu didn’t say anything, he was too lost in his train of thoughts to hear anything that his friends were saying by now…[br]
‘New people…? Humans…? Could…could it be…? No…no Kisshu don’t get your hopes up, don’t…you will only be more heart broken…but then…what if it is true…?’[br]
Kisshu didn’t know if it was true…could it be a sign? Could it be a message that after twelve years she was back…? Could she be…one of them…?[br]
TBC…[br]
A/N: Here it is the second chappie ^^ I know it’s kinda short but I wanna leave the suspense up XD [br]
Kisshu: You’re being mean you know…[br]
Me: yeah yeah, whatever you say Kishi, now leave the message or no Koneko-chan for you…[br]
Kisshu: Fine…Read and Review please![br]
Me: Good boy ^^[br]
