Wrongfully accused and charged for a crime he did not commit, Nhazul Hatake was abandoned and outcasted by everyone around him. Forced into a cruel world on his own, a lone Wolf... Will this Wolf be able to find another pack to belong to?
(This is...
Nhazul stood up and moved his tablet near the probe
Nhazul: Can you read it, Yuuki?
Yuuki: Of course. I got this, big bro. I've done a lot studying on my own.
Nhazul: Oh really now. Then by all means.

As Yuukitook a deep breath, she soon began to read from the tablet and Nhzual couldn't help but smile, hearing her read.

After the school day was over, Nhazul and Yuuki were sitting on a bench.
Yuuki: That was fun!
Nhazul: I'm glad you had a good time.
Yuuki: Nhazul, thanks so much for today. It was so much fun. I'll never forget this.
Nhazul: What are you saying? The teacher said you can come everyday. Tomorrow's Modern Japanese class goes until 3rd period.
Yuuki: Yeah...
Nhazul: Anyway, is there anything else you want to do or see?
Yuuki: Um... Actually, there's one place.
Nhazul: Where's that?
After Yuuki told Nhzual where she wanted to go, his eyes widened when she said that.
Nhazul: ...
Yuuki: Big bro? You alright?
Nhazul: Y-Yeah. But sure. I'll take you.
As the two left school, Nhazul proceeded to make his way to the train station. Once they had arrived at his destination, he had gotten off the train, in a rural area and started walking down the street, looking around.
Yuuki: Man, it's been so long since I've been here! It hasn't changed a bit.
Nhazul: ....
Yuuki: Big bro?
Nhazul: Hmm?
Yuuki: You sure you're alright?
Nhazul: Yeah, I'm fine.
Yuuki: Yeah. I'm sorry, Nhazul. It was really selfish of me to ask this.
Nhazul: You're fine. So, where did you want to go, Yuuki?
Yuuki: Well...
As Nhazul started to walk, down the sidewalk, towards the place Yuuki wanted to go, he walked past a particular school.
Nhazul: ...
After another 20 minutes of walking, they reached their destination, which was a white two story house.
Nhazul: Is this your house, Yuuki?
Yuuki: Yeah. I never thought I'd see it again. Thank you, Nhazul for bringing me here.
Nhazul: Do you want to go inside?
Yuuki: No, this is plenty. Okay, but we need to go home, or you'll be late.
Nhazul: We still have some time.
Yuuki: You know... I only lived here for less then a year. But I remember each day so well. I'd always run around that garden with my sister. We'd have barbecues, and one time I made a bookcase with my dad! It was so much fun.
Nhazul: That sounds really nice...
Yuuki: But they're tearing down this house.
Nhazul: Why?
Yuuki: Since no one in my family's around anymore, I heard it's been sold off, so...
Nhazul: Ah...
Yuuki: So I wanted to see it one final time...
Nhazul: Alright, you're fifteen now, right? When you're sixteen, marry someone you like. And then they'll protect this house forever.
Yuuki then started to laugh.
Yuuki: Nhazul, that's crazy! But too bad... There's only one person I could think of marrying, but he's already taken for.
Nhazul: That so? Who was it?
Yuuki: You.
Nhazul then looked at Yuuki surprised.
Nhazul: Me?
Yuuki: Yeah. You're the only person I think of when it comes to marriage. But I rather not marry you, because if I did, I'd lose my big brother.
Nhazul then smiled and chuckled.
Nhazul: I'm honored that the great Zekken sees me as marriage material.
Yuuki: But really, thank you so much, Nhzual. I'm really satisfied that I got to see this house again. When I lived in that house, my mother would always say this after prayers, " God does not give us more suffering that we can bear. "But I was a little dissatisfied with that. I always wanted to her words, not the Bible's. But seeing this house again, I understand. It wasn't the words themselves. Mom was surrounding me with her feelings. She was always praying, so that I could keep moving forward until the end. I finally understand.
Nhzual: Your mom sounds like a wise woman. I... I wish I could meet my real mom...to hear her voice...see her face....
Yuuki: You don't know your real mom?
Nhazul: No. I have no idea who my birth mother is... That's information no matter what I try I can't find. But I hope one day, I'd be able to meet her...
Yuuki: I'm sure you will.
Nhazul: Yeah... But it's funny...
Yuuki: What is?
Nhazul: To think we both lived in the same neighborhood at a point in time...
Yuuki: Huh? You used to live here?!
Nhazul: Yeah...
Nhazul looked down the street, seeing his old home and how their were new residents inside.
Nhazul: Before SAO, my foster parents made me move away to live on my own... I haven't seen them since... I guess they decided to move...
Yuuki: Why did they make you move?
Nhazul proceeded to tell Yuuki his past, and she was surprised.
Yuuki: That jerk! I hope he rots.
Nhazul: Yeah... But back then, I didn't care about what happened to me after I saved her, because I thought my foster parents would be on my side... Tell me I did the right thing... But I was wrong... I guess they didn't really care...
Yuuki: Hey... Can I put my 2 cents in?
Nhazul: Huh?
Yuuki: I could be completely wrong, but this is my take. Back when I lived in the real world, I think I was always playing a role that wasn't me. I didn't want to make my mom or dad feel sad, so I thought that I always had to be cheery. But this is what I think. Maybe they were doing the same.
Nhazul: The same?
Yuuki: Yeah. Maybe they played the role of hating you to protect you. Maybe from people discriminating against you because of that stupid false charge. That's just what I think.
Nhazul didn't say anything at first and looked back at his childhood home, thinking of all the good and happy times he had their with his foster parents, tearing up a bit.
