matsuaurore nothing will be done ~
He was running, running, and only running. He couldn't see anything under his feet, his legs were hallow of tiredness. The man who was holding his hand said with deep sharp eyes that they shouldn't stop whatever would happen, so he kept running as he sensed that he had no other choice except to follow this man. It was strange that he felt a deep tend toward that man, maybe he was a relative? When he looked behind him he saw a group of men holding guns, following them, so he gasped, warning the other who was holding his hands, who ended up carrying the younger one on his back and completed running. After running for what seemed to be hours, they reached an open cliff. They had two choices, getting caught or dying by jumping from that cliff. The older man didn't hesitate, and jumped immediately.
I wanted to breathe… air… I want to breathe… I am dying…
"Sho! Sho!" He felt a soft hand shaking his shoulders, when he opened his eyes, he saw his best friend's worried eyes.
"Sa-satoshi?"
"Is it a nightmare again?" The older asked in a light tone. He looked very worried, which made Sho feel guilty.
"Sorry, did I wake you?" The older man put his hands on the other's chest.
"I am worried about you, Sho… you are… so pale.. since we came to America."
"It is nothing Satoshi. Now, go to your room and sleep…"Sho took Ohno's hands from his chest, and looked at the other man in his eyes. The other lowered his eyes and whispered,
"Okay."
~~~~~~~~~~~
Sho had a long day, he finished his lectures at 06:00 PM then he had to study in the library until 08:00 PM. He was busying himself with study, not to let his mind recalled him with things he tried to avoid really hard. On his way to home, he would memorize things and started to repeat it, or he would read a book, anything could get him from his memories would be fine.
When he was on his way to house which he and Ohno shared, he saw on the side of the way a man in a wheelchair. A painful breeze pierced his heart at the memories of Jun, his angel. A sob left his throat at the reality that was surrounding him which he was escaping from, at what he had done to that innocent boy. He grabbed his wallet and took out a paper and grabbed it hard in his hand and closed his eyes like he was trying to get the power from that paper. The screams that Jun gave when he was doing that dirty thing to him, his angelic face which turned to a complete fragile one, his thin body which was twisting in a rough pain, every moment of that hour was rolling inside his head. He wanted that paper to swallow all his pain, but as he tried hard, Jun's screams became louder. Sho shot his eyes opened and breathed heavily.
Sho was sure that he lost his real soul once he pushed Jun to his bed. His days after that day became like hell. Three months had passed since he came to America, but he never got enough sleep, food, or even rest. His guilt was eating him, erasing any kind of life in his soul. He stopped being human, he became blind once he put his hand on Jun, he rapped a handicap young guy, who was above that the one he loved. He kept walking as a person without a soul, and asked himself millions of time, why his life was worthless from the day he born?
When he approached home, he heard a familiar voice screaming. Someone was calling for him. Without thinking he rushed toward that place, his heart stopped at the sight. His best friend was on the ground, and another man above him trying to rip his shirt. Sho without thinking threw his books and rushed to where they were. Sho was a good fighter, he used to have fights with others since his days in orphan, or maybe before. He didn't think more, and pushed the man, who was obviously drunk, toward the wall. He was a well-built man, with huge muscles. He grabbed Sho's collar and threw him on the ground.
"Two better than one!" He said. When he was about to kneel on top of Sho, the second hit his stomach strongly with his legs, making the drunk man groan in pain. Sho stood up, took Ohno's hand and ran toward their house. Once they entered, Sho snapped at Ohno.
"What had just happened? What are you doing outside?!"
"I- I was throwing the trash…" Ohno's teary eyes looked down, his voice was shaking, obviously he was scared, he was in danger after all. "…S-sorry."Ohno apologized while grabbing his shirt strongly as if he wanted to scream. Sho ignored the whole situation and headed toward the kitchen.
"From now on, don't got out at this time. And you will return with me from university, do you hear m-"Sho's orders stopped at this phase. Ohno's arms surrounding his chest, Ohno was hugging him from behind. "… Satoshi." Sho whispered, feeling warmth surrounding his body. He had feeling of his need for kindness, love, care, tenderness and warm heartedness. He was grateful for that moment, but once Jun's picture popped in his mind. He pushed Ohno and walked toward the refrigerator as if nothing just happened. People like me don't deserve these things. The person who gave me these ended up… destroyed by me. This was exactly evilness.
They prepared dinner in silence, no one talked about that topic again. Ohno was glancing at Sho every one and then to see him looking at his plate as he was eating a poison. His eyes were lifeless, it was something usual for Sho to leave his plates uneaten, which was hardly believable.
Ohno loved Sho from their few first meetings when they were still at school. He was never ashamed of his unrequited love. He spent his previous years drawing Sho each time the second was preoccupied with something. It could be silly, but he even liked that painful, angry and tired look on him. He was in a deep love. The day when he discovered that Sho fell in love with Jun, he shot his breathe and calmed his sobs. He just told Jun that he loved Sho, he wanted to be braver, but he stopped. He was weak, and Sho was protective. Even in this horrible situation, someone was about to rape him, all what he did was calling for Sho instead of calling for anyone to help, in that moment his mind was empty, the only person who was in his mind was the person who he deadly loved.
When they finished their dinner and washed the dishes, Sho headed to his room, Ohno following him.
"Thank you for today."
"Promise me not to act rashly next time."
"I promise." Ohno answered immediately, as if he was terrified that his late answer would cause Sho to feel angry. Sho smiled at Ohno, so the second leaned his body on the bed beside Sho, and put his head on the other's shoulder. Sho didn't push him that time, so he wanted to move further.
"Sho… you are always absent-mindedly…" The older said in a low voice.
"What do you mean?"Sho chuckled.
"I… is it about your past? I mean... are you thinking about what happened in the past?"Ohno asked. He never thought about talking about that with Sho. But he was worried. He knew that Sho was always thinking deeply of a certain thing. His thoughts led him to search about his friend's past. "I searched among my father's files about you." He completed, when he raised his eyes, Sho was calmly looking at him, obviously waiting for him to continue. He regretted opening up that topic, but it was too late to regret. So, he sighed and completed, "I know that your father is the real prime minister… I mean, the dead one… and … and Matsumoto-san tried to murder him and to take his place…"
"Wait… Your father knows?"
"He is… he was a close friend to your real father… s-so, yeah." Ohno stammered wanting to close this topic, but Sho pointed for him to complete, "Wh-when he- your real father- tried to steal the file that proved his innocence, there was… a boy… I mean… Jun was in the car… Sho I am sorry."
"Do you want to know the rest of the story?"
"Do you want to tell?"
"I want to share that burden with someone else."
"Tell me then. I am here for you." Ohno replied. Sho pulled Ohno closer in his arms, which made Ohno's heartbeat start to increase. He knew that Sho wasn't aware of his love. Sho closed his eyes.
"Satoshi…" He groaned, which made Ohno's heart ache more. "J-Jun… my angel… he... he killed my father…" Sho mumbled. Ohno stood silent then said,
Sho… Jun was child…" Ohno answered, he heard a heavy breathe coming from his shoulder so he put his arms around Sho's back and pulled him closer.
"They are devils, Satoshi!" Sho shouted. Ohno could feel his shaking body. "They planned everything, they destroyed Jun… their son! My angel!"
"Sho… calm down… Wh-what have they do-ne?"Ohno's mind was unable to solve this puzzle, and Sho's quietness was killing him. Shosighed, then, answered in quivering sound,
"You remember the explosion which happened in the main house of the previous prime minister? Our house… Sakurai's…"
"The police said your family… sorry but said they... committed a suicide… because no one could ever put a bomb in that tiny narrow from outside…"
"But Jun could…"Sho whispered. And Ohno gasped.
"Wh-what?!"
"He was six years old only… They told him to crawl in that narrow and put the bomb, which obviously he didn't know what was, and put it there then returned…"
"How cruel…"
Sho stood up and whipped his tears then went to his wallet, got out a paper and handed it to Ohno. Then headed to the open window. Ohno opened the letter, his eyes widened.
"Read it loudly."Sho ordered, so Ohno nodded and started reading with a shaking voice.
"My dear son, Sho…
I know that I don't deserve to be called your father. You are a good boy… or maybe you will already be a man when you will read this letter…
My dear Sho… All what I did was for your benefits… I love my dear son… You are my pride..I still remember that day when you wrote your name for the first time with that cute font you have… I am proudly carting this paper until today… this paper was and will stay my power in every bad occasion… you will always be my power, dear son… And I want this letter to do the same for you as your name's paper for me…
I want to tell you one thing my dear
… Destroy them… the Matsumoto's…
I will tell you briefly, son…
They stole our rights, possessiveness and life… we became homeless because of their greed. I know you remember all those cold days when we spent our nights out, when we begged for a piece of bread… when you and I got hit by strangers and drunk people… You were a brave little boy… You protected me …your weak father…
Also, do you remember? All that nights after I got that cheap job, when you spent your days alone after coming from school hungry, tired and lonely? Crying because everybody laughed at you because of the tattered clothes and less food?
Do you remember, all these days when you cried asking me about your mother? Why were you different? Why were you hated? Why were we miserable?
Do you remember that day when we ran from the guards who wanted to kill us? It was the last day I saw your mother… When you will have someone you love… I hope you can understand my feelings of separating from her… while she was in a miserable condition… yes… miserable one…
Do you remember? Remember? I told you about two people who crashed your pregnant mother, and killed the baby in her belly?
Do you remember? How I had been pulled with no pride to the police? And you stayed in that orphan alone? Among the hatter of surrounding people?
Sho… With these emotions … Go for them, take what is yours… Do what I failed to achieve! I tried to steal that 'file' which contain the dark details of their plan… But I failed when I discovered that there was a boy hiding in the car for some reason….
Maybe it was a stupid idea, Sho... But I was hopeless, before I threw their son from the car… I gave him a necklace in a form of key… take it and open the door of the strongbox in the maid’s room… You will be able to let your father reposes in peace…
I will live my last days with the regret of causing this for that child, even if he was the main reason of our sufferings… but I believe he couldn't understand that time… His parents were demons…
Son, also give your mother a better life…
Your loving father, Sakurai Shun"
When Ohno finished to read the letter, he felt the tears rolling endlessly down his cheeks…
"H-how Jun cannot remember all of these things?"
"He has partly amnesia… I searched about his condition … I looked for the necklace but I couldn't find it… I really needed him to remember… He needed a hard push to remember … and I did my hard push… waiting for the results…"
"Hard push?" Ohno put the letter on the bed and stood beside the bad, his mind was confused.
"I rapped him." Sho answered with a sad tone. Ohno froze. There were moments of silence, Ohno's body was frozen, when he managed to talk finally he shouted at Sho,
"I- I can't believe you did that to him… SHO!" Ohno started to scream, "Y-you didn't, right?! You are the one who knows the most about how he suffered…. Sho… how- how, No… No! You won't make him suffer more… You are different than them!!" Ohno approached Sho and started to hit Sho's chest. He felt Sho's tears falling … So Ohno raised his head…
"I am not different, I am a devil…"
"Why? Why did you do that?"
"He-he wrote in his novel… Maya… Maya loves her parents whatever they do… Maya even if she suffers from her parent's evilness, she loves them… Because they brought her to life… He is an angel Ohno… do you understand me?! He needed to.. he needed to be stronger... How he would react if he knew about what he did, what his parents did… and wh-what I have done??… I am stupid… yes! I am a devil, yes … And I love him!!!!!"
Ohno stayed calm, trying to absorb all these scary facts… When he thought about his life… Nobody was in his mind… except for that person in front of him, so he took an immediate decision… After the long silence… Ohno put his hands on Sho's cheeks and looked to his eyes directly. He approached Sho's lips, their breathes were hitting each other. Between the heat of that moment, Ohno whispered,
"Sho… I will help you… Let's destroy them.. Get what is yours… and… help Jun."
"… Want to take part of my revenge?"
