Futago

Futago
The beginning of everything.


The eyelids opened slowly, his brain instantly toiling through what had previously happened. Slow breathing is done continuously. The shadow of those memories he had obtained three times in a day, and would probably continue like that for the next day.


The dialogue he got from the memories of the members of the white dragon clan continued to spin, the memories of the seconds he got punished, until the grandfather's dialogue with him.


"Capture the results of his research, find out to whom the old man bequeathed the research." A bare-chested person with a dragon tattoo on his back stood his back.


"Good!." Replied his men including the one whom Yuki saw his memory.


*


"Okaa san (Mother), there's a lot of blood. Must be cleaned immediately." The little boy who was none other than himself gave a clean cloth, cleaned his hands full of blood stains.


"Ywis ... Want to help mom?." His blue bead looked up at that slightly dark light brown bead.


"Hm?. What can Yuki help you with?."


"Stop Ayumi!." The blue bead rolled in search of the origin of the sound, but the body immediately blocked it.


"Yuki ..." The soft voice and the glare of Ayumi's eyes broke through Yuki's blue bead, locking her up.


"This is the only way we can live the next few years." Clean, bright, little angel's face awaits the continuation of his mother's sentence.


"You're not thinking cold, Ayumi. There's another way. Yuki!. Don't go near your mother!." The screams of the voice disturbed the attention of the little girl.


"Tou san's? (Dad?)."


"Yuki," Ayumi's call gently drew the little girl's attention back to him, Daren's voice quickly cut off his wife's sentence.


"Jasmine!. Just stop!. He's my son!." The slightly dark light brown bead turned sharp.


"He's my son!!!." Shouted Ayumi, his face was clearly very frustrated.


"There's no other way. Hiks, hysterics." Yuki's small and tender hand holding Ayumi's cheek wiped her mother's tears with her thumb.


"Don't fight, Yuki doesn't like it. Yuki will help, don't fight anymore." Said the little girl.


"No!, Yuki!. Stay away from mom!. Damnit damnit!. Move!." Daren's screams are getting worse.


"Yuki go!. AYUMI !!!. KEEP YOUR HANDS OFF HER !!." The sad bead stared at in Yuki's blue bead.


"YUUMMIII ... !!!!!!!."


A long breath calmed himself back.


"Do you like this clan Yuu?." The little girl on his grandfather's lap was chewing mochi with vigor.


"Ung, swuki (Yes, likes)." Grandpa laughed off hearing his grandson's funny answer because of the chubby cheeks full of it.


"Do you want to forgive grandfather and the others?." The big hand that had turned a little wrinkled was styling her grandson's hair fondly.


"Why?." Little Yuki looked back at her grandfather's face.


Cups!.


The grandfather landed a warm kiss on little Yuki's forehead.


"Your brother will take good care of you. Look who's coming." Yuki distracted her.


"Tsuccessun!." Call Yuki happy.


Open her eyes with a heavy heart. A little bit of his memory pazzel began to fill up, but still not guessed.


"Ojou chan, you're sober." Dazai approaches Yuki.


"Hm." The girl could not move her body properly.


"You have to eat." Dazai was about to take the bowl of porridge but stopped because Yuki suddenly coughed.


"Ojou!." Dazai immediately picked up the candy box inside the nightstand drawer, his hand grabbing a clean towel.


"Open your mouth." Dazai immediately put the pill into Yuki's mouth, then his hand cleaned the blood around the girl's mouth.


"Tsubaki and I decided to take you to the hospital. The protectors are moving to every corner of Japan looking for you. Not too much but their expertise in looking is excellent." Dazai.


"Hm." The safest hiding place. Hospital, inner Yuki is mocking herself.


"What kind of thought are you seeing?." Yuki glanced at Dazai then looked the other way.


"Memories with Yuri's grandfather, Hachibara Go's great-grandfather." Answer Yuki.


"I heard you saw the memories of the person from the white dragon clan. What do you see?." Yuki kept her mouth away from the spoonful of porridge that Dazai gave her.


"Ojou chan, you have to fill your stomach." Yuki threw her face to the side.


"Dai chan, I want to be alone." Yuki Pinta. Dazai stared at the flat face that kept all emotions buried inside.


"Ojou chan." Lirih Dazai's.


"Go back after thirty minutes." Yuki Pinta. Dazai obeyed the young lady's request.


Chequek.


Door closes. Yuki pondered back on everything that had happened.


Hotaru and the guards attacked. The leader of the attack must be Hotaru, then the mysterious line that became the pattern of attacks on the computer was Hotaru also the one who made it?.


From what grandfather said back then, Hotaru would protect him, from what?. This is not a matter between clans?, then what is his feeling that says that all this is because he is right?. Did Hotaru lie to him too? while answering her questions about their childhood?, Yuki still clearly remembered in her secret room she once asked Hotaru. Whether Hotaru remembers their childhood, and Hotaru clearly answers no. It means everyone is lying to him!. Yuki suddenly recalled the discussion of Mizutani and Dazai in the kitchen.


"Then this is the case if ojou chan can't survive he's the only victim heh!." Dazai's getting frustrated.


"We can't do anything you know it's true. Our key is just ojou san. Without it we can't move, and it's Daren dono who orders not to act out of bounds to keep ojou san from,"


"The punishment." Srobot Dazai fast.


The only victim?. The penalty?. Is there anything I still don't remember the night before my memory was lost?, Yuki's mind was trying to remember maybe something was missing in his old memory.


"Agh, why am I so stupid." Furious Yuki Lirih. Remembering the words of Youtaro Taiki.


The yakuza clan was incited by the white dragon clan to attack the main residence, but Yuki had no memory of how it happened, not even the shape of the main residence house he remembered. Then,


"I'm looking for him too. The man disappeared after I sent a full army to chase after the heir of the Hachibara clan and her husband." Yuki recalled the second assault that took away her memories.


"My people are not coming back as well as BD and Hachibara clan husband and wife..."


The second attack. I was separated from Hotaru. No one came back, because everyone died inside the house. They're after the demon, so why are Hotaru and I separated?. I remember Lusi's grandmother saying it was safer for us to split up, and Grandpa saying Hotaru would protect me. So, if Hotaru had returned to the main residence and Mizutani and the shadows were trying to hide me, what point was the problem with me?, Yuki was getting frustrated.


So, I invited this bloody fight?. What have I done?. Wait, if it wasn't for this punishment would they be willing to tell the truth?, Yuki grumbled inwardly.


Chequek.


Mizutani and Dazai enter the room. Mizutani glanced at the porridge bowl on the nightstand.


"I heard you refused to eat. What's troubling you?." Mizutani sat on the bedside chair.


"You came five minutes faster than Dai Chan." Tegur Yuki glanced at Dazai.


"I brought you new food, it's warmer than." Dazai hung up his sentence looking at Yuki who had already thrown her face to the side.


"Yuki's." Call Mizutani.


"Tsu." Cut the girl.


"When are you going to take me to see my grandparents?."


Silent.


"Next year is in sight." Yuki.


"After you recover, after the match in koshien is over. February later." Answer Mizutani.


"Hm." Mumbled Yuki. Mizutani sighed softly.


"In koshien you don't sit on the bench. You just need to come along and hide, I don't want you to get away from me." Mizutani.


"Because the protectors are looking for me?." Sergei Yuki.


"Hm."


"Are you beginning to remember what happened?." Dazai asked carefully, walking to the other side of the bed to feed Yuki.


"What if I ask to see your memories, you allow them?." Dazai's hand stopped in midair.


"No." Answer firmly Mizutani.


"Ojou chan, talk later, you should eat first." Dazai brought the spoon closer to Yuki's mouth.


"No." Resist.


"Yuki's." Tegur Mizutani's.


"Ohuk!." Warm blood spewed out from Yuki's mouth and nose. Dazai immediately wiped the girl's blood.


"Look, how can I eat. Uhuk!." Mizutani gives Yuki the second pill.


Dazai raised the head of the bed, his hands near Yuki's mouth preparing to wipe the blood out.


"Yuki, promise to hold on. Ak," Yuki closed her eyes making Mizutani stop.


"What's really going on?." Lirih Yuki's


"Ojou chan." Lirih Dazai's.


"It all makes me dizzy. Uhuk!, uhuk!." Yuki still closed her eyes tightly.


"I still have to meet uhuk!, again with Youtaro san, investigate uhuk!, the white dragon clan, devise a new plan, uhuk!." Yuki took a slow breath glancing at her two hands that were infused.


"What do you think Tsuttsun, uhuk!. That demon took my memories so we could live uhuk!, longer. Am I the source of the catastrophe?." Dazai sculpted, the question that Mizutani never answered is now answered already by his young miss.


"No, you're wrong. There's still another way to deal with it, not necessarily by taking your memory with punishment." Answer Mizutani. Dazai clutched the towel in his hand.


"Even I don't know who to trust now?." Yuki's retracting the corner of her lips mocking herself.


"I'm tired, uhuk!. You guys get out." Pinta Yuki, keep her face away from Dazai's hand that was about to clean her blood.


I'm human too, hahaha or not. It hurt me too, very much. Getting the pain in lying alone cannot be expressed in words how much my heart aches to receive it. The pain of losing one person because of my mistakes keeps overshadowing my life. Especially if the initial reason for the attack was me, how many lives have I killed?, how many families have been hurt because their loved ones died?, how many people have sacrificed for me?. I can't forgive myself. Maybe this punishment I deserve to atone for all my sins that have killed so many people, inner Yuki.


"No, you're wrong." Dazai's voice sounded trembling. The man was devastated when he saw the pair of blue eyes turn blank.


What is wrong?, is not all this starting to clear, Yuki replied in his heart.


"No ojou chan. It's not your fault. Don't talk like that. We didn't lie to you, I didn't. All this to protect you from punishment" Yuki stopped Dazai.


"Dai chan uhuk!. Please come out." Dazai's tears started to fall.


"Let me stay here. I won't bother you." Reply Dazai glanced at Yuki who was still not looking at him.


Who would believe who?, free to have the ability to detect lies if not in use. Free to have the ability to see one's memories if not utilized, Yuki's mind is tired.


Mizutani and Dazai reluctantly leave the girl's room, and two of Dazai's sisters order Yuki's blood. But who would have thought that the sentence lasted three times, a nurse came out of Yuki's room with a frightened face, reporting on the state of the patient.


Dazai and Mizutani immediately entered and saw Yuki who had fallen off the bed, the two needles in her hands were also removed, the teenage girl curled up, tugging at her hair, screaming shrillly. The nurse sat down limply trying to calm Yuki down with her trembling hands.


"You go out and get towels, new clothes, and warm water." Decree Dazai, the two sisters immediately carry out the orders of the Doctor.


***


The new year was a week ago but the blue-faced girl was never seen in her nose. Natsume had been like a stingy person repeatedly texting and calling Yuki, despite never getting an answer the girl just kept doing it.


It's too late, his search on Christmas Eve has produced nothing, already three times he surrounds his super-wide school still can not find Yuki. Natsume put his phone rough on the table, his arms crossed, drowning his head there.


Where are you Yu chan, said Natsume.


The lesson had begun, Natsume looked back quickly when sensei passed on the name of the owner of the blue bead.


"I hope you can reduce your absence, Hachibara san."


"Hi sensei." Answer the girl.


***


One week in osaka, Yuki really did not appear in public, the girl always stayed away from the crowd. The match in koshien went well, Yuki arranged a strategy and held meetings with other members.


Mizutani glanced at Yuki who was explaining with her flat and lackluster face. Since the attack on kyoto the girl turned more closed, the smile on her lips was never seen again even though only a thin smile or a small smile, absolutely nothing. The girl's appetite is also greatly reduced making Mizutani very worried, especially now that Yuki is blocking the shadows who want to talk to her. His illness also recurred more often. Mizutani took a deep breath.


Today's final, after coming home from osaka Mizutani will talk to Yuki, they have to talk, Mizutani has decided.


***


Who would have thought the strong intention to talk to the blue-mannered girl was hindered by the mini owl that kept drifting in the way of Mizutani.


Inside Yuki Mizutani's room could not twitch. Staring at the back of the girl who was busy dealing with her computer. Already many times he was about to approach but Je immediately confronted him with the muzzle of a pistol pointed forward. Just as he was about to open his mouth, Je immediately gave an attacking warning.

Tokyo, january, 17.


Five-star hotel third floor. The leader of the mafia group sat on a round table chair accompanied by ten of his bodyguards. He came faster than he made a promise, a secret dinner. The place he ordered was very luxurious, the large glass beside him showed a night view, flickering lights tokyo.


Tok.


The knock on the door distracts him. Finally the person he was waiting for came as well, Youtaro put a friendly smile on his face preparing to welcome his guest.


Chequek.


A waiter opened the door bowing to let someone in. Youtaro stood up from his seat looking towards the door, followed by his ten bodyguards.


Tuk. Tuk. Tuk.


The sound of high heels entered the luxurious room. Everyone in the room was stunned by the appearance of the sexy woman they had never thought that it was the woman who was able to subdue three people from the Hachibara clan within five minutes.


Red long dress attached to the perfect body, short sleeves with a wide collar and open to the chest, the dress line on the right waist is open showing smooth and tight skin, the long dress is split long enough to show a beautiful sculpture. The hand tucked the blonde child behind the ear, the narrowed eyes and the black bead returned Youtaro's gaze. Thin lips and a slightly pug nose make a cute impression on his oval face.


"Did I make you wait too long Youtaro san?." That hoarse, heavy, and coarse voice awakened everyone's fantasies. Yuki is deliberately disguised as a mature woman. The waiter bowed for a while before going to close the door behind Yuki.


"No, I'm also just up to miss." Youtaro answered, allowing Yuki to sit down. The girl leaned over for a while then walked over to the round table, Youtaro's bodyguards swiftly pulled the chair to help Yuki sit down.


"Thank you." Yuki deliberately gave her friendly smile to the bodyguard.


"It looks like you have some new bodyguards." Yuki said he found five unfamiliar faces that he did not see on the night of the attack.


"They are each leader's right hand. They represent another leader to hear and deliver the results of our conversation tonight, so that the true story can reach all the members." Yuki nodded in understanding.


"Let's have dinner first, miss. I've ordered the main menu at this restaurant." Yuki smiled in response.


Yuki walks the model out of the luxury building into a taxi parked in front of the lobby.


Fifteen minutes later he entered the bar on the side of the road. The bar was quite crowded and, noisily!. Yuki immediately rushed into the crowd of monstrous doormats, quickly turning his feet towards the bartender, giving a blink, the bartender instantly understood and gave Yuki a black bag. The girl gave the bartender some money before going to the toilet.


Ten minutes later Yuki had already walked out of the bar through the back door. He knew that there would be Youtaro's men following him, so Yuki chose a bar to store his belongings and took off his disguise. The noisy bar and full of people made it easy to escape.


Yuki walked towards her house which was quite far away. His feet stopped in the middle of the bridge, staring down, the river water was very calm and looked cold. He thought back to his conversation with Youtaro at the restaurant.


"BD used to be a member of the yakuza, he joined one day after the future leader of the Hachibara clan joined us, Hachibara Ko. Hachibara Ko never moved like our members in general, he only came if there was a meeting and then did not do group activities." Youtaro turned his wine glass.


"Then suddenly Hachibara Ko came out. Too bad, even though we are very happy to get members from clans that we respect and disdain. Three years later BD quit the group establishing a new clan." Yuki sipped water from an antique glass in his hand, listening to Youtaro's story.


"I don't know what kind of group BD founded, which I know the group moves not much differently to our group, maybe more modern. Twenty-four years later BD came to me to say his goal, to ask for help and to propose cooperation. He wanted someone who could create a device that would bring the whole country to its knees." Yuki looked at Youtaro from his narrowed eyes.


"Hachibara Ko only briefly joined the group but before leaving the group Hachibara Ko found a rare crystal stone on the seabed inside the ancient ruins. BD knows it, because he had long been interested in the ruins. And the one who managed to make such an incredible tool out of crystal stones was a descendant of Hachibara Ko."


DEG!.


"With the lure of the clan we can both control the entire country on five continents I agreed to attack the Hachibara clan to seize the person who has created the tool. We're after Hachibara Ko's daughter who was the heir to the clan." Youtaro gulped down the wine in his hand.


"In the first raid we failed, didn't find the heir but we found important information. A small note contains a brief story of the feelings of the person who made the device. He called him grandfather, not father. Our target is to change to grandson Hachibara Ko." Yuki calmly digested Youtaro's story, his eagle eyes observing the slightest movements of the old man, detecting possible lies inserted in the story.


"We went to attack two but we were late, the Hachibara clan residence was very quiet, there was no sign of their leader and his descendants there. We'll go and trace their tracks."


"One year later we found the location of the heiress, our plan was sudden. Second attack in town, tokyo. But we failed miserably, I lost a lot of members and didn't get any information. Two days later an empty letter came to me, there was a symbol of the Hachibara clan behind the letter that was drawn using blood."


"BD never showed up again after the second night of the attack, so I was the one leading the search. It only took less than a week for my men to find the hiding place of Hachibara Ko and his granddaughter." Youtaro leaned his old back on the chair.


"I sent two troops at once to attack Indonesia. My men who were secretly building businesses in the country attacked. It took three attacks to obtain the precious grandson and genius of the Hachibara clan. Hachibara Hotaru, he's the grandson and son of the prodigy who managed to make the device." Youtaro gulped his wine somehow to how many times.


Yuki ate her pills casually without arousing suspicion.


"I hid it in a place no one would ever find. He was truly a genius child, he had managed to create a deadly poison that would not be detected by medical devices. I used the poison to kill the leader of the venomous snake group from the country and the results were very satisfying."


The mafia, Yuki growled inwardly.


"But baby, my men lost it before they could make it. I need a crystal stone to make it. In the first raid, we searched the stone all over the main residence of the Hachibara family but there was none. I'm sure Hachibara Ko must have hidden it." Yuki did not move a bit from where she was sitting.


"The secret business place in Indonesia was destroyed, all the men were caught by the police and sentenced to death. I went back to look for his tracks but did not see him until suddenly he came to us claiming the life and blood we had shed. Grandson Hachibara Ko has returned and we have just realized that their power is terrible. It's been terrible for a long time."


"Me and the other leaders forgot one thing, that our group existed because of the support of the Hachibara clan leader to our ancestors. We used to be a group that helped the government to eradicate crime in this country but because of many things we became the big group we are today." Youtaro finished two bottles of wine.


"After we realized the mistake we should not have committed, the betrayal and damage to our clan's relationship with the Hachibara clan. I started urging BD, asking for the promise he once said. But miss must have known the continuation. I was framed, used."


"I wanted to retake Hachibara Hotaru but the absence of the crystal stone was futile. Moreover, that child is already the heir now, he must have full strength like his ancestor." Yuki opened her mouth.


"Why don't you go after Hachibara Ko's son-in-law?." Youtaro smiled slightly.


"Hachibara Daren, a very big businessman with no loopholes. The world knows him, a positive image, it is very difficult to get close to the man. The risk is great for us, he is an American citizen, the son-in-law of the oldest clan in Japan and has important connections in other countries. If we make a wrong move the whole world will surely come after us. I don't like our group covered by the media."


"Wasn't Hachibara's son-in-law's business mostly inherited from the Hachibara family itself, then why would you dare attack the Hachibara clan but not with his son-in-law?." Ask Yuki.


"You're very smart, miss. Yes .., the members of the Hachibara clan do contain smart people." Youtaro Comment.


"Miss, the Hachibara clan is a hidden clan. Their ancestors asked every emperor who was in the lead not to publish information about them. Only members of the emperor's family and his representatives know the genealogy of the Hachibara family including us, because our ancestors were once disciples of the first emperor's descendants. The Japanese government granted the Hachibara clan's ancestral request as a sign of their respect because it was thanks to the struggle of the first emperor that Japan could be independent."


"Because the public didn't know it so you freely attacked our clan?." Youtaro was surprised for a moment and then he returned the look of his face as before.


"Miss, you're saying that you're part of the Hachibara clan why don't you know this general information?. Who are you really?." Yuki smiled kindly.


"I'm just testing you Youtaro san. Whether you answer honestly or manipulate your words." Answer Yuki. Youtaro chuckled softly.


"I won't do it, miss. My mind is open now, instead of looking for the crystal stone and retaking Hachibara Hotaru I prefer to take revenge on BD who has made me lose many members, past and present." There was a small snarl from Youtaro's voice.


"Are you sure that the one who made the device was Hachibara Hotaru?." Ask Yuki.


"Of course, miss. Because he is the only grandson of Hachibara Ko."


DEG!.


Yuki was silent for a moment, he repeated Youtaro's reply inside his head.


What does this mean?, it's obvious we're twins. Then what did Fitri think of me?. Does the woman think I'm a pick-up boy?, the son of the father's affair?. Heh!, don't joke!!, Inner Yuki.


"Then, did all this answer your question, miss?." Yuki looked back at Youtaro at the table.


"Yes, and one more." Youtaru looked at Yuki waiting for his next sentence.


"What kind of tools does BD say?." Ask Yuki.


"I'm not sure I haven't seen it before, but BD and his men have seen it."


"A tool that can stop time, attack a city in seconds, this tool is very profitable to steal information and is very useful in warfare, without having to move a continent of soldiers." Yuki took a small breath.


"Sounds interesting." Comment Yuki.


"Yes, haven't you seen her, miss?." Ask Youtaro.


"No, maybe I was too busy with out-of-town business when it was built." Reply Yuki.


"You're right, some members of the Hachibara clan don't seem to know about this tool either. Miss, may I ask you a question?." Yuki put the glass in her hand.


"Please."


"Where do you get that green thing that's running electricity?." Yuki smiled kindly.


"I know a genius in a remote country. He made it for me." Yuki's lying.


"It would be impolite if I asked you to introduce me to that person. So I'll hold it." Yuki smiled slightly.


"Are you sure you don't want to join us to avenge BD?." Youtaro tries to change Yuki's mind.


"No thanks Youtaro san. Indeed since long ago our clan has never had any cooperation." Reject Yuki for the next time.


"alright. Although repeatedly I and the other leaders apologize to your clan, it will never be enough. If the lady or clan needs help something please do not hesitate to contact us, I and all members will definitely help." Yuki nodded briefly.


"Miss' generosity will always be our clan's memory." Youtaro.


"thank you. I'm leaving now, next time I'll entertain you." Yuki said standing up.


"Thank you so much, miss."


Yuki comes out of the restaurant, Yuki is convinced that even though Youtaro believes everything he says the old man must still be curious about him as evidenced by one of Youtaro's men who followed him.


Yuki took a deep breath looking up welcoming the clear grains that descended from the sky. The sound of thunder boomed, flashes of light flashed, strong winds tossed the water in the river. Yuki was still standing there, on the edge of the bridge.


Hachibara Hotaru is the only grandson of Hachibara Ko. Everyone is trying to hide my existence. Haha ...!. Isn't all this very funny, even the child can definitely guess what happened!. I was the child they were looking for, I was the child who brought calamity to the Hachibara clan, so why did grandfather hide this fact and let Hotaru endure it all?!. Yuki shouted in his heart.


My brother will take good care of me?, don't joke!. Grandfather threw Hotaru as a fall to protect me!. Evil grandpa!. Wicked one!. Aghs!. Ssiiiaaalll ..!!, Yuki's scream was about to throw the candy box in her hand.


Grep's!.


"Aome (Blue eyes) .., san?." Yuki heard that soft voice. He looked to the side.


"Dan ... Are you going to kill me?."
