Futago
Takehara F&R.

Not getting a response, Hotaru continued her sentence.

"Maybe now mom's in Italy taking care of her new company." Hotaru.

"I had a fight with my mother before I ran away from home." Hotaru stopped her busyness from the paper.

"I asked permission to meet Yuki but mother forbade me. I also cornered mother about her attitude towards Yuki." Hotaru straightened her shoulders.

"Mother is like harboring something herself, she does not deny when I say mother hates Yuki. But, the mother also worked hard to establish her own company using the name Yuki. So I can't say mom really hates Yuki if she still keeps our little pictures in her office." Hotaru placed her right hand on top of her left hand, her index finger tapped gently on the back of the hand.

"Eleven years ago precisely after her mother locked Yuki in a barn, she went to Switzerland to meet her college friend who was a doctor, the same doctor who handled me and Rin, the difference was that Rin was treated in Japan." Hotaru recalled and combined the information she had stored.

"The doctor advised the mother to do something that the mother likes as therapy for her. I started drawing again, designing many designs. One year later there was little progress, the condition of the mother slowly improved and the mother decided to make her own company. And the mother chose italian, it is not easy to build her own company, the company experienced ups and downs quite often before the company became as big as it is today."

"Have you ever heard of YuVa?, a clothing company, bags, shoes, and other accessories." Ask Hotaru.

"Of course, who does not know the luxury company. Wait." Wait." Yamazaki swallowed his saliva violently.

"Since I was very good at drawing, even similar companies in Korea were my great-grandfather and my mother who made it, my father told me." Hotaru pressed her last sentence.

"YuVa ..?." Fumio muttered, Hotaru nodded briefly.

"Yu from Yuki's Japanese name, Va is taken from Eva's last name amerikanya." Hotaru took a deep breath.

"That reason makes me doubt that the mother who had done the punishment to Yuki, there was no reason for Yuki to accept the punishment."

"Daren Dono know about this?." Ask Fumio.

"I don't think so." Answer Hotaru sure.

"It's suspicious, the answer is really just ojou chan, who did, why, and why." Yamazaki.

"Have any people ever recovered or at least survived the disease?." Ask Hotaru.

"Unfortunately I've never heard of anyone surviving, on average they'll turn crazy and .., kill themselves." Yamazaki said his last sentence very slowly.

"We have to quickly find Yuki, but before that. We must punish the group that dares to attack us." Yamazaki and Fumio nodded in agreement.

"Well, it's time for the young master to listen to our information."

"Hm."

"After all the main families left the residence, it was Fumihirolah who took over the residence. As the leader of the guards, and governs everything within the residence." Yamazaki started to explain.

"Isn't Hiro san on duty outside the residence?." Hotaru asked, the article was a man named Fumihiro or often he called Hiro was being assigned grandfather Hotaru out of nowhere and not allowed to go home if the task is not finished.

"Rubber, it's been six months since Fumihiro left before the attack. Do you still remember Fumihiro one of the guards that the great master liked?." Hotaru nodded briefly.

"He was very loyal and honest, though he often looked creepy." Yamazaki smiled at Hotaru's comment.

"Are you still jealous of him?." Hotaru asked glanced at Fumio.

"Don't ask." Fumio's short answer drew a slash from the corner of Hotaru's lips.

"Eiji Kun became one of Fumihiro's top students in the dojo now." Yamazaki continued to make Hotaru turn to look at the middle-aged man.

"Heeeeehhh ..." Hotaru's response made Fumio take a heavy breath.

"Takeru san please continue the explanation." Pinta Fumio politely. Hotaru and Yamazaki held back their smiles.

"It seems like the great lord sent a message to Fumihiro telling him to immediately finish the task and return to the main residence. Six months since the departure of Ayumi dono, Daren dono, and ojou chan Fumihiro returned, after which all the messages from the big master and the big lady were received by Fumihiro, that was how Fumihiro led us."

"Dojo who began to lose a little bit of sharpness also made Fumihiro upset, he volunteered to train the guards and honorable family members who wanted to train. No one denied it even though there were still guards who deserved it more." That made Hotaru frown.

"Why?." Ask Hotaru.

"At a very young age Fumihiro's ability was already recognized by the elders making him one of the elders direct tutelage disciples, it was very difficult to be able to obtain the acknowledgement of the main family. The guards at this level many died during the attack, some who still survive brought by Ayumi dono." Hotaru again scribbled the paper.

"Hiro san is the only one left." Lirih Hotaru's.

"Yes, but not anymore." Hotaru looked up at the confused Yamazaki.

"Your best friend is one who has succeeded at that level." Hotaru raised both her eyebrows in surprise.

"Shuuuu ..." Hotaru whistled lightly glanced at Fumio.

"Don't start." Sergeh Fumio stopped Hotaru's intention to tease him.

"One year ago Fumihiro announced the information of the great mistress." Yamazaki glanced at Hotaru for a moment.

"You and Ayumi dono are forbidden to enter the main residence." Hotaru smiled wryly.

Of course, because Yuki became like that, inner Hotaru.

"For that reason I don't practice in the dojo but in a new home with Rin." Hotaru draws her conclusions.

"That's what we're thinking, because you might know that Ayumi Dono's plan is unexpected or that you're helping her is the reason you're banned from entering." Hotaru drew the other two branched lines on the paper.

"Grandmother and father who didn't know my condition thought my mother was taking me away for fear of my attempted murder. Mother's unreasonable act of bumping into Yuki made all the evidence point to it. To take me away with her." Hotaru connected her mind.

"Because it's very clear that I chose to go with my mother, which means ..." Hotaru turned the ballpoint pen in her hand.

"There's a misunderstanding between grandma, dad, and mom." Fumio felt there was something odd about Hotaru's conclusion.

"Then why did Ayumi dono not contact the big lady and Daren dono?, explaining what really happened." Yamazaki nodded in agreement.

"Right, and why is Rin marked?, what has she done?. There's nothing wrong with him." Hotaru.

"It looks like Hiro san reported something to Daren dono." Reply Fumio.

"But what is possible with just one report makes Rin marked, even during this time Rin who teaches martial arts to Yuki." Hotaru's statement made Yamazaki and Fumio astonished.

"How come, Fumihiro's instincts are very sharp." Yamazaki.

"I've confirmed it with Rin, two years after my father and mother brought Rin home to make a special place for Rin, where Yuki also practiced."

"What could possibly be Rin san and Ayumi dono," Hotaru intersected Fumio's sentence.

"No, I don't know Rin's whereabouts. Rin never once came out of the place even the guard of Rin's place was very tight." Yamazaki thought hard.

"If Rin is on our side why is her name marked, her older brother Fumihiro doesn't trust Rin?." Yamazaki massaged his forehead getting louder.

"Wait." Hotaru's voice suddenly made the two people look at her curiously. Hotaru's hands moved quickly on the paper, and when she finished, she raised her face.

"Does this have anything to do with punishment?." Fumio widened his eyes, Yamazaki held his breath for a while. Fumio started to open his mouth.

"Daren dono and the great mistress cannot do punishment to Rin san so, he makes Rin san unable to get out of the place, while Ayumi dono does not know about Rin's whereabouts. What mistake did Rin san make?." Fumio stared at Hotaru's bright brown bead.

"If our guess is correct, then why did grandma order Rin to approach me secretly and bring me here to practice with her?." Hotaru's question made another doubt in her third heart.

"What is this?." Yamazaki muttered massaging his forehead which had turned red.

"Takkecchan I've heard, the future daughter-in-law in my family will get training before marriage, is that true?." Ask Hotaru.

"Yes, that's a mandatory condition." Patent answer from Yamazaki.

"Meanwhile, we must now be careful with Rin san until the truth behind him is revealed." Fumio.

"Yes. Did you tell the location of Ayumi dono to Rin's young master?." Ask Yamazaki.

"No." Yamazaki nodded, he felt relieved.

"It looks like there's a big secret that's been deliberately kept, waiting for someone to open it." Yamazaki.

"Who?" Ask Hotaru.

"The answer is obviously Hotaru." Hotaru turned to look at Fumio.

"Who?." Ask back.

"You or Yuki." Hotaru threw her back onto the back of the chair.

"I need to move faster. My family's awkwardness is already visible, the main family should not be destroyed from the inside." Hotaru raised her chin slightly moving slowly refining her sitting position. Fumio and Yamazaki do the same.

"We're putting together a plan." Hotaru.

***

The night wind blew slowly, the trees around them gave off small rustling sounds, several times the sound of owls was heard from afar.

"Onii sama (sister, same is a very respectful title), what mistake have I done, why do this to me?." Takehara Rin asked the man before her.

The two people stood a considerable distance away, although their voices were very soft but the night sun made them have no trouble hearing each other's voices.

There's no answer.

"Mom doesn't like us fighting, we've never fought before." Rin stared at the cold face of the man five years older than her.

"Onii equals, tell me." Lirih Rin's.

"The most shameful thing is to feel innocent." A deep voice that was no less cold with a resolute face was draping in the air.

Rin moved stiffly looking up to see Takehara Fumihiro's black bead. Instantly Rin's body stiffened when her manic met the brother's bead. His straight-forward yet manic look glanced cynically downwards, skinning the trembling Rin.

"Onii .., same ..." Lirih Rin her voice trembled.

"Do you still deserve the guard status, Rin."

Fumihiro's words slashed her heart, Rin could not help but hold the clear liquid from her eyes.

"I .., I ..," Rin gulps her saliva violently.

"Nature will punish you Rin." After saying that Fumihiro turned her body walking about to enter the large wooden gate in front of her.

Rin braced himself he ran about to hit the brother but not until half way the sound of a foot stomp hard enough to make him stop instantly, Rin froze his manic trembling to see a figure that always looks bigger than him.

Fumihiro stomped her left leg slowly towards the sister, looking down at the woman who was trembling in place with tears continuously dripping down.

"It took you decades to fight me Rin!. You don't listen to what I always remind you of. You have failed!." Fumihiro said firmly, his heavy cold voice was like a big hammer hitting Rin many times.

Rin could not open her voice, she spoke a thousand languages. Rin again stiffened he had great goosebumps when the sound of big footsteps came to him. Fumihiro stepped slowly forward, her firm steps sounding extremely loud that night. Fumihiro stopped short of giving his sister five feet.

"Kneel Rin!." Fumihiro's orders were slow but very firm.

"Why are you doing this to your sister onii the same?." Either Rin gets the courage from where to open her voice again.

"Ber. Lu. Tut's. Rin!."

Bruk!.

Rin knelt down in front of Fumihiro, her hands clenched in anger. Why he was unable to fight what his brother said, why only with his footsteps had made Rin give up.

"I'm sorry too. But I have no right to interfere." Rin smiled bitterly.

"Focus on your job." Fumihiro turned her back to Rin, saying something before she left her sister.

"Now he will come to punish you." Fumihiro said walking away in silence.

"Who?." Lirih Rin's.

"Who do you mean by the same?." Rin lowered her head letting the tears down just like that.

"Tell me who do you mean?."

The silence of the night wind swept across that sad face, itself .., in front of the wooden gate he used to pass by so often, now felt so far, so far away.

"Pathetic." Rin said still kneeling with his head bowed.

***

"Is such a plan right?." Asked Fumio, Hotaru nodded steadily.

"I'll train with Rin in the morning and at ten o'clock in the evening, after we finish club practice I'll train with you. Takkecchan will make poison according to my recipe." Fumio shook his head slowly.

"We exchange, after volleyball practice you train with Rin san because I also have to train in the dojo. Ten o'clock in the night we meet at the little club we once found." Hotaru nodded in agreement.

"The rubber still exists?." Ask Hotaru.

"I took care of him." Answer Fumio.

"How are our enemies moving?." Yamazaki raised his voice.

"During this time we've been stalking them secretly, their group is growing by leaps and bounds, not difficult to approach but futile if we eliminate their little members, plus it will take a long time." Hotaru paused for a moment, finding an interesting idea.

"Yuki would love to hear this idea." Chirps Hotaru.

"What?." Ask Fumio. Hotaru placed both her hands on the table, she smiled slightly.

"Their digestive tract is to stop working and grow." Hotaru said while pointing at the stomach where the hull is located.

"Soar, then we'll get their hearts set on making a fuss." Hotaru's finger turned to point where her heart was. Move back and stop.

"Lungs, make it hard for them to breathe." Hotaru flicked her wide smile sliding her finger to the left.

"heart. Done." Hotaru's relaxing.

"Hahahaha .., you are indeed amazing young master. This plan is very similar to the way our clan is. The elder would be happy to have a successor like you." Yamazaki stopped his laughter nodding in agreement.

"Are you sure Yuki is happy with this plan?." Fumio asked a little hesitating as to what he heard.

"Yuki has changed Eiji .., maybe even more cruel than me." Hotaru's answer somehow made the kitchen suddenly become quiet.
