I grew up with our clan here in Ishigaki island, while my parents were in Romania as they were serving the vampires that our clan entered a contract with. They did not tell me anything regarding the vampires we served saying that it was for my protection. That day when our clan was annihilated, I really regret that I did not insist that they tell me about those fucking vampires.

My parents were killed in front of my eyes, they hid me from that vampire by putting some spells. I clearly saw the face of that man. Before they took their last breath, my parents ordered me that I should never involve myself in vampires again.

I tried to stick to what my parents requested until I met Miyuki. At first, I was just intrigued by his rare eyes. When I saw him playing in the seashore, he was suddenly approached by another vampire. I thought he knew that man, but when I saw him struggling, I immediately shot that man by one of our crucifixes. I hurriedly go away before someone will know my existence.

I believed that no one saw me at that time.

Unfortunately, after a short period of time, Miyuki’s parents are already here at my house.

“The moment you saved our son, we recognized right away that you were their son.” his mother started.

They told me that they have known my parents for a long time and also revealed that they are the ones that cast a protection spell I am wearing upon my parents’ request from them. They believed that I was a good human just like my parents even though I am still not convinced of what they disclosed to me. There was a chance that they were the vampires that killed my family.

“We are being followed, they want to kill Miyuki. We do not expect you to believe us immediately, but please we are begging you to save him tomorrow morning, because we will face a grave accident that will cause us to die” Miyuki’s father stated while he was crying and started to kneel.

“My husband can see our future but is unable to see what our son had. We do not know if he will survive or not but it is certain that we will die. We will entrust him to you, no matter what you choose we will accept it, don't worry” Miyuki’s mother added.

Before they left, the mother handed me a lot of documents such as legal papers for the properties and books. They also give me a little notebook containing every detail that I need if I decide to raise their son. They told me that they would give all of it to me whether I saved their son or not. They said that is the only way they can pay for my parents' good deed.

Based on what they told me, maybe that was not them, maybe they were also one of the victims of that fucking man that killed my clan.

Morning came and I was still undecided, Miyuki’s life would depend on my decision. What should I do? I was restless at that time and I suddenly remembered the face of the vampire that killed my parents. Since my parents died, I have been training myself to take revenge but I did not intend to use some vampire for it to happen. I found myself secretly following the car where Miyuki and his parents were.

In the end, I decided to save and use Miyuki to find that man in exchange for using me as his Nevoie.

As expected, the car fell into the sea. When I arrived at the scene, his parents were already dead and unrecognizable due to the impact. I was surprised that Miyuki remained unscratched, it must have been his parents’ doing. I get Miyuki out of the car before someone will see us. As they requested, I just let their car together with their bodies sink into the sea. I pay some respect before we leave.

I brought Miyuki to one of the properties they left. I hope no one noticed that Miyuki is not yet dead or followed us here. I am beginning to ponder the decision I made. I think I just made myself suffer more and will regret it someday.

“F-first love?” he muttered while he looked delighted.

That time I saw his innocent face, sparkling blue eyes and genuine smile, I knew for sure that I made the right choice and I would not regret it.

What’s wrong with this kid? Why is he smiling like an idiot? Did he think that he was already dead? Should I say that he was alive and his parents died? Wait, what if it gave him a heart attack? Can I ask someone to help me? How should I manage to take care of this kid if I am almost the same age as him? What should I do?!

“E-excuse me, where are we? Did you see my parents? What is your name?” he confusedly asked.

“First, I am Fuyumi Shiro” right, I used my mother and father’s names so I will always be reminded to take my revenge for them.

And that is the start of us becoming brothers. I tell him all about what happened but according to what his parents want.

"I'm really sorry, I failed to protect your son."

I am here in the place where we first met. The place of my home. The place where my parents died and his.

I went here because of what Miya said. My conscience can't take it anymore, it’s true that I am the one that should be blamed for all that happened.

After all this time, Miyuki was suffering alone. I wonder if I still deserve this life that his parents gave to me.

I don't have any reason to continue since the man I wanted to kill was already gone. Even that thing, I failed to do for my parents.

And Miyuki, he was captured and I don’t have any damned idea if he is still alive or if he was treated right there. Did he sleep comfortably? Did they give him blood? Did he have time to work out? What the fucking wrong with me, I really missed…

“Yumi what are you doing here?”

him.
