"Ne... Izana nii-chan, Shinichiro nii-chan has something to say to you." I said as I looked down to face Izana as he was rubbing his cheek against my lap. "Hm?" He looked at me with his orchid purple eyes. "What is it?" He then looked at Shinichiro, who was behind him while grabbing two chairs from the counter. Shinichiro gave Izana the other chair for him to sit on it and the other is for himself.

The three of us were quiet for a moment because the tension that I and Shinichiro were exposing gave Izana an awkward atmosphere. "Listen...Izana..." Shinichiro wasn't sure what to say or what to start up the conversation. In reality, he was more nervous than I am.

Soon enough, he finally gathered up the courage and explained to Izana everything. The truth about the mother who abandoned him wasn't his real mother, and he was the son of her ex-husband, who had an affair with a Filipino woman.

I was just sitting between them listening to Shinichiro as he was explaining every single detail. Izana had wide eyes and kept quiet for a long period of time. After Shinichiro was done explaining, Izana just looked down at the ground and didn't look at us nor even batted us an eye.

"Heh... No wonder... No wonder you always kept talking about him." he said quietly but still enough for us to hear. Him? Don't tell me he's talking about-

"You were always Manjiro this and Manjiro that! Even now! When I told you I wanted to lead the Black Dragons just like you, You kept mentioning Manjiro!" Izana snapped. He stood up in front of Shinichiro and me causing the chair behind him to flip over when he did. "Izana, calm down..." Shinichiro tried to calm Izana, but it only made things worse.

"You lied to me! You knew from the very beginning, yet you only told it to me now! WHY?! Because Shiori said so?! You only told me now, because she said she wanted me to know, but not for me!" He ranted, then dashed off, leaving the bike shop. "IZANA, WAIT!" Shinichiro yelled, I immediately followed him and left Shinichiro on his own. Sorry, Shinichiro.

"SHIORI!" He called out to me, but I ignored it and continued chasing down Izana.

I dialed Tadashi's phone number and waited for him to pick up. I told him to go and keep watch at the apartment building near Shinichiro's shop and head to the balcony on the top floor and watch where Izana is going. Then finally, he answered the call, "He's heading towards the west wing street right past the mini cafe." Tadashi said from the other line of the call.

I went past the mini cafe and was already at the west wing street, "Turn right and follow the straight path." Tadashi said, I followed his words and went to turn right.
I was almost out of breath, but I still kept running if I stop now, then who knows what will happen to Izana's future.

I kept running and running straight just what Tadashi said, I went past many people through the busy streets, yet I still can't see Izana anywhere. I was about to ask Tadashi if he was sure that Izana went this way, but then he suddenly said, "Stop." And so I did. "Go inside that alleyway, he's there. I'm sure of it." Tadashi said from the other line.

I ended the call and went inside the alleyway, It was a bit dark because of the tall buildings in between, but the light from the sun is still taking effect above it. I continued to walk through the alleyway until I saw a pair of feet and a familiar pair of shoes hiding beside the green dumpster. "Izana nii-chan?" I called out to him, but he didn't respond. "Izana-" "Go away!" He cut me off before I could finish.

I go near him as he was hugging his knees and buried his face with it. Just by his shaky voice, it's obvious he was crying. "I told you to go away!" He yelled, not even batting me an eye.

Like I would even listen to his request, I sat on the ground beside him and faced above my head. "Why did you run?" I ask him, but he didn't answer. "Did the truth hurt?" I ask him again, but this time I was facing him.

"Do you hate me now?" I ask as I tilted my head, trying to make eye contact. He still didn't answer, I waited for a few more minutes, and he finally had the courage to start talking.

"I don't hate you..." He whispered, "I... I already realized that he wasn't my real brother, but I still kept holding onto that hope that he was. He was my only family...I have always wanted a family...but they just abandoned me. Like her." He hissed as he clenched his fists and hugged his knees tighter.

I stayed quiet for a moment before telling him what's on my mind. "The reason why Shinichiro nii-chan didn't tell you is that he's afraid you would leave him." I said, "Eh?"

"He was also scared that once you know the truth, then you might think that there was no reason to stay by his side any longer. He was also scared that once he tells you, you might get mad at him. Like, right now." I pointed out, Izana looked at me, observing whether I was telling the truth or making things all up.

But I just looked at him back with confident eyes, then wiped his tears away and gently caressed his cheek. "But, What about me, Izana nii-chan? Aren't I, your family as well?" I ask with certainty since I already know what he will say.

" Of course you are..! From the times I have suffered, you were the only one who understood me the best, Shiori!" He stated as he embraced me in a tight hug, and I accepted it as I hugged him back.

That's right... from the very beginning when Shinichiro would compare you to Mikey or even mention his name to you. I was always there to comfort you and act like the little angel you wanted me to be.

I have already become an important treasure in your life within the short amount of time I have spent with you.

And right now, your heart has already been broken. Making a large gap beyond repair.

But don't worry...I'm here, right?
I'll be the one to heal your broken wounds that nobody can see, but me. I'll be the light of your eyes through the darkest shades of shadows you have went through. From the past months I have spend with you, your heart was already starting to make a broken gap of its own... And now it's even bigger....and I'll use that gap....
