One of the nights she was all alone, looking at the window; Examining the rainy weather, dancing trees, the thunder's lights in the sky are pictured in her brown eyes.
The door was opened.
: I'm back!
She turned and said in excitement: Dad finally! I started to get worried
She ran towards him and gave him a warm hug, didn't notice that boy standing behind him.
Her father said with his soft, kind voice: sorry sweetheart, I had to work an extra hour today to cover yesterday's.
She clapped her hands together and said: It's fine! I'm glad you are fine dad.
Mr. Mori gave her the warm smile she always liked, then he looked back and said: Come in son
: Yes sir.
That voice is unfamiliar, she said to herself, who it might be? A good young-looking guy came in, he had a cold face with no emotions, blue eyes which could tell a sad story, and dark blue hair, he looked like he is in Yuki's age.
She couldn't help but ask: Dad, who is this?
As the boy walked in and stood next to Mr. Mori, Mr. Mori put his hand on his shoulder and said:
You can call him brother for now.
Her face is telling that she didn't like the idea
: But dad, I don't have any siblings.
: I found him on the way back from my work sitting on the street by himself, I asked him what's his name or who's his family, but he didn't answer, I can't let him out in this weather, so he will stay with us until we find is family.
Yuki didn't respond, she was just looking at the boy silently, like she's trying to understand him or detect his identity.
Mr. Mori cleared his throat and said: Please show his room and the bathroom, so he can shower.
: Yes dad. Her eyes still on him, it took her minutes to go upstairs, and he is following her.
She showed him every room in this house and was giving her speech about what to touch and what not to, he was listening quietly and nodding without saying a word.
: Sooooo... this is your room, sorry it's not that big, no one is taking it.
They were standing in front of a medium room, it has green walls and white and black floor, with a bed with white sheets and a small wardrobe.
He was looking at the door then his eyes moved to the room silently.
: What's your name?
He didn't answer, which made her hate the idea of him staying more.
: Dad will bring you some clothes and put them in the laundry room, the bathroom is at the end of the hallway.
She turned and walked in the opposite direction, but before she disappeared from his sight
: Ikto
She smiled like she just won a battle, without turning she said: Call me Yuki.
Then she went downstairs as he walked to the bathroom, he found Mr. Mori there standing on the bathroom's door holding some clothes.
: Sorry dear wear these for now, tomorrow we will get you some clothes.
he nodded and took the clothes then went in the bathroom. Mr. mori kept in his place scratching the back of his head: Man, it's hard to talk to kids these days.
Then he went away.
He saw Yuki downstairs then he called her: Yuki, come here please.
Yuki comes to him.
: Darling, I know it is a big thing, but he may live with us from now on
: What? Why?!
: I don't want him to end with the other kids in the orphan sweetie, they don't live a good life there.
: But what about his parents?
: I don't think he has any, he didn't answer any questions about them.
She stayed silent for a moment, finally she sighed and said: Yes dad.
He smiled and rubbed her head: That's my girl.
After thirty minutes, Ikto came down stairs wearing a very loose red t-shirt, it was cute on him.
Mr. Mori smiled to him and poked Yuki to do the same, she smiled but as quick as his father started talking, her smile faded away.
: Guys I'll go to bed now, I have work in the early morning, Yuki you have school, do NOT stay up a lot ok? Good night.
Yuki: Good night daddy love you
: Love you too. And then he went upstairs.
Ikto was looking around the house without moving as Yuki was staring at him
Then she stepped closer to him, and she started walking in a circle he's its center
: So, you suddenly showed up to MY dad in the street, then you came to OUR house, and now you are going to steal daddy from me.
He shrugged and walked away, she was shocked and then yelled " How rude!"
He smiled and slowly his smile turned to a chuckle with him putting his hand on his mouth.
She puffed her cheeks unpleasantly; She pulled his hand before he could go any further.
: Wait.. What's..that?
She pointed at two dots of blood on his neck, he covered it with his hands quickly and said quietly without facing her: Nothing.
He tried to free his hand from her grip, but she resisted
: I said what is that? I'm not letting you go until you tell me.
He slowly turned his face to her: You want to know what happened? A vampire came and attacked my parents and brother, before I could escape at all he bit me, my brother hit him on the head before he could kill me and yelled in my face to run.
His hair was covering his eyes, Yuki couldn't tell if he was crying or not, but she knew she can't put pressure on him anymore.
She left his hand, hers are shaking, she is scared, old memories coming out to her mind, yelling, screaming, breaking...
: Don't worry, they are not even close.
That didn't help, she is still shaking
:Good..night..I guess
She said that and walked to her room as fast as she could, he followed her and went on his way to his room feeling guilty for telling her that and scaring her, he should have kept it to himself, as he kept many other things.
.............................................................................................................................
It was 12 am, sobbing sounds are heard from Yuki's room, they woke up Ikto and planted curiosity in his soul, he walked slowly towards her door and put his ear on the door, it was hard to understand, but he could catch sentences like "Leave her alone" and "Please don't go".
He couldn't help himself but getting inside and shakes her very gently, she jumps awaken looking at him with teary eyes
: I-Ikto
: Shh.It's fine, I'm here
He gives her a big soft hug; She hugs him back crying...
and here everything starts
...........................................................................................................................................
Next morning:
Everyone is awake and are ready to start their day
Ikto and Yuki went downstairs, a woman in her twenty's waves to them with a big smile
: Good morning! You must be Ikto, I'm...
: Good morning
He kept going down passing her without even looking at her
: How rude! the woman said after stamping her foot on the floor
: No worries Maire, you'll like him when you get to know him
Marie, their maid, is a very nice and loyal person, she's been with them after her mother died by a year to take care of the house, and Yuki of course, she's trying her best to fill the hole their mother left after her death.
: Good morning kids
Mr. Mori says from the back, Yuki and Ikto says together: Morning dad
Yuki turns to him angrily and says: My dad!
Ikto replies: Sorry, and he sticks his tongue out
Yuki's face gets red, Mr. Mori cuts this saying:
Yuki get ready for school, and Ikto please be ready to go shopping today
: Yes sir.
Days... Months... Years pass
These two get close, close siblings that no one can get between them, but one day... something happens.
