"Damn Edgar, you're just like Akira. I know I'm not in my diet" Kitana continue to enjoy her delightful dinner. Edgar smiles and pinched her cheek. She's not fat but her cheek makes her look so.
"But you are, fatty" Edgar chuckled looking at her face. Before Kitana kill him with her fork, he retreats and walks to take his plate. Tasty food waits for no one.
"Did Akira often visits you?" He asked her as he knew Kitana is Akira's step-sister. Kitana feeds herself with a spoonful of rice and nodded as an answer.
Akira and his girlfriend often visits her and asking for her condition and life. Sometimes when Akira persuade her back to Japan, she insists to follow as she has set her heart on where she lives right now.
"Talking about brother..." Edgar paused and put his spoon beside him. "Did you get any information about him?" Kitana speaks out. She was really hoping that Edgar will find information about his missing brother 11 years ago.
When she was only 5 years old, she was a sunshine kid that makes everyone happy due to her clumsy behaviour. Everything was fine and beautiful. Sitting under the shades of the blossom tree in the springtime, playing with the other kid from the villages and laughing with her family.
Until the day of 10th September, her 6th birthday arrived. The day where she supposed to smile and laugh changed into the saddest day on her life. Seeing the lifeless body all over the place, blood decorated her birthday cake, seeing her sister stabbed in front of her eyes and her village burnt into ashes all because of him. Kitana's brother, Takeshi Kitsune.
2 weeks after the chaos, Little Kitana went back to her village, where villagers from other villages help to clean up the mess and finding the one who is still alive. She's been missing for a month before her step-mother found her.
9 years pass, Kitana is now a normal naive teenager that learn so many things yet still care with love from a mother. Kitana finally went back to her home but this time with Edgar on her side. Her tears fall as she flashbacked all the sweet and bitter memories in that small house. They managed to find a cracked fox mask and a wrapped shining silver katana belong to Kitana's father.
The katana of the Kitsune family is one of the heirlooms that passed down to their son since the first generation and now it's well kept in Edgar's hand. It's well known as the "Kitsune's fangs" but there's only one they can found.
Remembering those days made Kitana's eyes red and tears fall wettened her cheeks. She tried to hide it from Edgar but she just can't do it. Sniffing and rubbing her eyes makes her even worst. "I'm sorry for your lost" Edgar hugged her to make her feel better. Kitana cried and wipe her tears on his shirt. He pats her hair softly and sighed.
Behind that sweet smile of hers, hides many secrets from everyone. She needs someone to hold her tight and make her feel safe from the cruel world. After she made Edgar's shirt wet with her tears, she felt better and Edgar told her to get some rest and wash her face before going to bed.
In the nighttime, Edgar lost in his thought. Laying on the bed shirtless as he wearing short pants. "How am I going to help her if I don't even know her brother's face?" He lays on his bed thinking a way to help Kitana's sibling reunite.
"But... if her brother is from the Kitsune family, how could her family name is Uzuyama?" He thinks hard and barely could close his eyes.
