Chapter 22 - Chapter 4

"That's right Setsu, I am Suou Shinya" i confessed

No one show sign of surprised even Manjiro, it's almost like he already knew it and just waiting for me to tell it myself

"Intense, pretty intense" Setsu burst into laughter and I kinda hate it although I love it when we were kids

"Why the fuck are you doing this Setsu?"

"Why? It's all because of you— remember" He grunted in reply

"Me? What is it about me?" I stated, I was clueless to all his complain, it doesn't make sense to me, why is it me?

"Don't make me such a fool, you were so young and innocent back then that's why you don't know a single thing and believe through my acts, because you are so pure I stained it and killed those surrounds you and this is you now, I'm disappointed— why are you not empty yet— can you be empty already, at least do it for me" he lifted his eyes to mine

"Setsu, I can't be empty now, all my life I wanted revenge but I finally realized it now— the reason why you are doing this" I mentioned

"If you know why don't you say it so that I could confirm if you are right" he jolted

"You love my brother— you wanted him to be yours only and you despise me because he always talk about me, because to him I am his amazing little sister that's irreplaceable" I paused and took a deep breath

"You wanted him to love you like how he loved me isn't it" I continued

He clapped his hand, "HAHAHA! CORRECT" he teared up— a bit

"Setsuei, I finish knitting this scarf you can have —it"

Heartbeat can be heard inside of me the moment I saw my elder brother who I'm longing to see, tears break down to my eyes

"Shinya isn't that your elder brother" Sasuke mumbled

"E—elder Brother Sanjiro" I muttered

"S-shi-sh—" he can't say my name, he can't remember, but he broke down to tears

Setsu felt irritated, but suddenly brother touches his head, his head is hurting and Setsu immediately look at him and called for someone

"Tch! It's all your fault Shinya"

"You plotted everything Setsu! So you didn't really wanted to kill brother that day you just intended to erased his memory and replace it... How cruel of you"

"It doesn't matter"

"Get down!" I heard Manjiro said

I glances at him to only see him grabbed his gun on his pocket and shoot Setsu straight to his right shoulder. And on the other hand Sasuke bomb the place and immediately went to get Yuusuke with him. I was unable to move from that moment.

"Snapped it out Shinya, we got to get your brother" he mumbled and make a run out of it

Manjiro shoot the guy in charge to take my brother, I saw that the person was dead and dripping with his own blood, but I didn't hesitate any longer, I grabbed brother's hand and dragged him along with us. At first he doesn't want to go but Manjiro knock him down so it could be easier but it wasn't we have to carry him all the way out.

We enter the mountains, we get inside the car and Sasuke drive us out of there, and the next thing I knew the place was bomb and we don't know if Setsu survived with his minions.

"When did you put bomb to the place?" I asked

"It wasn't me, it was my twin, see the paper he wrote you unfold it and you'll see the little blue print of that place and all the red dots contains bomb, and thanks to Manjiro he figured that out and got the button with him that's save us" Sasuke exclaimed

I glances at Manjiro but he was so silent and I didn't bother to talk

At the back of the passenger sit is where unconscious Yuusuke, knock out Big Brother, and silent Manjiro is sitting

"Our place is not safe anymore" said Sasuke

"Then where are we going to stay?" I asked in an instant, worried about what's going on

"To Doma's place, we've got nowhere to go than that" Sasuke muttered

"I guess we don't have any choice after all I've got you so much trouble yet I can't do a thing" too unpleasant

"So are you going to run away again?" I was startled by the scold tone coming from Manjiro

I was surprised but immediately felt useless

"Are you going to do what you've done before?"  He continue

"You are going to disappear once more, without even knowing what would the people around you would think or felt"

I clench my fist, his right, I never thought about that, my decision will always lead to nothing

"W—when I finally found you, y-you'll disappear again in a blink of an eye" he mumbled

I don't want to look back and glance at him because I knew that his crying and if I look back I will just feel the undying pain within me

"Since when did you knew I was Shinya?" I asked

"Since the very beginning, the first time I saw you I already knew that it was you but I just kept it quiet, until you said it yourself, because you left me without saying goodbye" he stated

"I won't run anymore— not this time" I mumbled

"I have learned my lesson, I won't repeat the same mistake from years ago, I'll definitely avenge my people and everyone else, because that has been my will since the day I've met Yuusuke and Sasuke" I mentioned

"You better keep your words this time" he mumbled

I saw Sasuke smiled a bit

We've got a long way to go— I decided to take a nap and switching over to Sasuke later

I'm sure he was still alive, and he'll definitely look for my big brother

Someday we will faced each other with an intent to kill on the very day, on that very valley. I'll meet you there Setsu, we will settle everything there
