Zenkyo was still struggling to escape the police's grip. She wanted to save her brother as soon as possible.
"GET OFF ME! DO I HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY BROTHER'S BROCKING BODY THERE, HUH?!"
Zenkyo was furious. She struggled, trying to escape the police lock. However, some police officers came and took Zenkyo away from the place.
Zenkyo's body fell to hee knees, she slammed her hand on the ground so hard.
"I'm a useless little brother! I should have paid more attention to my brother, instead of just keeping busy at work. I'm such a lousy little brother. Aaaaaaaa!"
Zenkyo shouted as she continued to punch the ground with his smooth hands. She looked down now, tears slowly falling down her hands.
"What is it, Nakagawa-san?" A voice from behind Zenkyo.
"My brother is trapped there, Sir. Please let me help him," Zenkyo said to someone she thought was a policeman. However, she still refused to turn around.
"He must mean a lot to you, right?"
"Really, he means more than my own life."
"He must be handsome too, right?"
"HEEHH?" Zenkyo turned around and found a male figure crouched behind her.
"KENICHI-KUN!" Zenkyo pulled Kenichi's body into her arms until they rolled down.
Now Zenkyo is on top of her brother's body.
"Stupid!" Those were the only words that came out of Zenkyo's lips when she found her brother fine. Not good at all, Kenichi's burns still look red in his arms, hands, legs and several other parts.
"Hahaha, you haven't answered yet, is your brother so handsome, Onee-chan?" Kenichi joked. However, it was still clear that Kenichi was so weak.
"Who did all that, huh? You really did bad things to other people, so that person took revenge against you and burned our house, um?" Zenkyo asked her little naughty little brother. Zenkyo repeatedly caught Kenichi involved in a fight between students.
"I don't know, Onee-chan. I don't know who did this to us. Obviously, I was sleeping because I was tired of playing games. I woke up when I heard the neighbors screaming. And that was when my surroundings were full of flames."
"Ah, thank goodness! The important thing is that you're safe, Kenichi-kun. Then, how did you get out of there, um?" Zenkyo asked. She still saw the flames from inside her house, although the front of the red rooster had not been completely devoured.
"The savior god who has helped me," said Kenichi as he looked up at the man who was near them. A handsome and dashing man stood tall beside them. Kenichi did not recognize the figure. After all, his vision was still blurry at the moment.
Zenkyo turned around. The figure of Akiyama Takeyuki who stood proudly behind them. Zenkyo smiled at such a kind man.
"Thank you very much, hmm… Ano…." Zenkyo stood up and bowed to the young man who he even forgot his name earlier.
"Akiyama Takeyuki. You can just call me 'Takeyuki', Nakagawa-san." Takeyuki spoke softly. He flashed his kindest smile. "There's no need to hesitate. I'll go first, Nakagawa-san. One day I might take your turn in need of your help. Goodbye!"
Takeyuki turned around and immediately left the place. He must get treatment immediately. Actually, his hand was injured from saving Kenichi earlier. Takeyuki's arm was bleeding from being hit by a nail, while moving a cupboard that was on top of Kenichi's body.
Zenkyo helped Kenichi to sit down. They were both sitting in a row in front of their yard.
"Is anyone still sick, um?" Zenkyo asked softly to the young man who had lived with him for two years, her adopted brother, Kenichi.
"Nothing. It's just that I inhaled the smoke for too long, my chest feels tight, Onee-chan." Kenichi squeezed his chest. Every time he took a breath, a sharp pain shot through his chest.
"The most important thing is that you're safe, Kenichi-kun. Even though your skin after this will be stained from the burn." Zenkyo smiled faintly as she caressed Kenichi's cheek, gently. She loved the boy so much. Kenichi is the only family that Zenkyo has right now.
"You know, Onee-chan? What hurts more than all of this is that my bangs are burning, huwaaaakh!" Kenichi pretended to cry. How childish.
"You bastard! I swear I'll cut you off if you keep worrying about me again, Kenichi-kun!"
Zenkyo ruffled her brother's hair. However, as soon as she looked at her hand, there was a red spot after touching Kenichi's hair. Zenkyo flinched at that.
"Your head hurt, Kenichi-kun?"
"Hah?" Kenichi checked it. He rubbed his hand over his head. Seriously? Fresh blood was still dripping from the front of his head.
Kenichi faints in Zenkyo's arms, after seeing the blood.
Supposedly, Zenkyo didn't remind him earlier.
"Kenichi-kun, open your eyes! Weren't you fine just now, little brother?"
Zenkyo patted Kenichi's cheek, panicking.
"QUICK CALL AMBULANCE, PLEASE!" Zenkyo shouted to the people around there.
