I left my room with a slight headache, I had remembered that day and I really didn't want to remember it, now and thanks to Rias I'm needing a bottle of wine, a packet of cookies and a son of a bitch to beat up, not necessarily at that time. order, for now let's eat some cookies and kick Iseei, if that will do.

I went downstairs while munching on a cookie I took from my shadow, my parents were literally worshiping Asia, it wasn't necessary for Rias to use magic to convince them, they wanted a daughter but Iseei and I seemed to be the last train for our parents, for what a godsend this innocent blonde is for them.

--Souji come and say hello to Asia-chan~

--Yes, yes, son come and meet your new younger sister... we finally have two decent children...

Father cried after that sentence and proceeded to take a bottle of scotch from the pantry, pouring himself a drink.

--Honey~ our Souji and Asia will be the pride of our family...

Father is happy, mother is happy, Iseei feels like shit while Asia is confused by both our parents' attitude and my presence.

The petite girl gathered her courage and approached me with a small bow.

--It's a pleasure to meet you Souji-onii-sama...

The girl looked at me with her green eyes like polished emeralds, a pure look full of innocence, which gave me chills, I felt something strange when I saw myself reflected in her eyes, I saw myself, I did not see my previous self, I saw that gloomy doctor who brought sweets and hope to children without her, her innocence, her immaculate look reminded me of those days full of twisted peace.

Before I could regain control of my actions, my body embraced the girl and my tears ran from my eyes...

--Rita...Natasha...I, I'm sorry...

Yes, the reason why I avoided Asia Argento is because she reminded me of my adoptive daughter, I hugged Asia while crying and muttering the names of the two women I love.

--Souji-onii-sama...everything is fine...

The girl, although surprised, returned the hug and put all her warmth to comfort the broken young man in front of her.

The Hyoudou family stood there watching the two youngest sons hug each other tenderly and melancholy for several minutes.

Inner thoughts of the Hyoudou Family

Father: Oh~ my son is so happy that he can't help but cry at Asia-chan's cuteness~ that boy may be a promiscuous bastard but still nothing can against my Asia-chan's cuteness~

Mother: They're so cute...Oh~ me, Souji could actually cry...is that new?

Ise: WHAT THE FUCK?! Why is the inkhead hugging Asia? And why is Asia hugging the inkwell? Wait! IS SOUJI HERE? CRYING?! IS IT THE END OF THE WORLD! MOM I DON'T WANT TO DIE! BUNCHOOOOOO!!!

Rias Gremory: Huh? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHH?! That psycho is hugging Asia like she's the most delicate thing in the world while crying? THAT IN THE WORLD?!

Asia: Why is there so much suffering and pain in your heart? Souji-onii-sama? Alright? Don't cry, don't cry...

***

A few hours later. Souji's room.

--So, you don't have a problem with Asia staying with us?

The brown-haired young man asked his black-haired brother.

--No...Asia can stay...

The black-haired man answered while looking at the ceiling, melancholy...

--Souji...I know I'm not the best brother in the world and neither are you but...what the fuck was that? You never cry, not even when you broke your arm did you shed even a measly tear, I've literally known you all my life and I can count on one hand the times I've seen you cry... and I know you're not well...

Iseei looked at his brother who seemed to be dead in life, from his perspective Hyoudou Souji was a Narcissistic Bastard with enough balls, money and good looks to justify his haughtiness, he was always the cold type and cool on the outside but a funny bastard on the inside , but now he is no better than an abandoned dog.

--Isee...do you believe in...reincarnation...

The story has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

The black-haired man turned his gaze to the brown-haired man who only shuddered at the hollow look of his brother. The eyes that should have been black were glowing with a pale blue color.

--Aren't we already reincarnated as demons?

The chestnut answered only to receive an empty smile in response.

--I speak of the other... reincarnation... that of the... soul...

The black-haired man extended his hand towards his shadow and took out a bottle of wine and two glasses.

--That? Are you talking about the wheel of Dharma and those things that grandfather was talking about?

--Yes... of that same... Do you want?

The black-haired man served two glasses and offered one to the brown-haired man.

--Souji we are underage...we shouldn't drink.

--We are demons...stop...worrying about the little details...

Forcing a glass into the brown-haired's hand, the black-haired man gave a sad smile, to which the brown-haired man could only frown.

--Arght... I hate when you're right, cheers~

--Cheers~

*Chin Chin*

--Now you will tell me why you look like an abandoned dog...

"Baby... what was it like to die Isee?"

The black-haired man ignored the brown-haired man and asked, the surprised brown-haired man looked at him doubtfully before answering.

--Well... it hurt a lot. The Jump was useless!

--I see... I'm sorry about that...

--You should, Buncho told me that you watched the whole show. You could have saved me!

--Yes... I could have done it... but no... You would be so close... to the boobs... that you love so much... or am I wrong?

The black-haired man answered calmly as he refilled the glasses.

--I really hate it when you're right... pour me another, this thing is good.

--Here you have...

--Souji... when was the last time we talked... civilly?

Iseei took a sip of the wine which was already wreaking havoc on his body but he was still lucid so he tried to remember the last time he shared with his younger brother, the last time they really spoke.

--Six years... I think... we haven't talked like that... since we were ten...

--6 years? That's a long time... little brother...

"If it's a long time...for humans..."

They both took a sip and laughed.

--Puahahahahaha~ right now we are devils.

--Hahahahahaha~ Idiot~

The black-haired man smiled slightly before returning to his downcast appearance.

--Hey... tell me again what was that about reincarnation.

--I'm a reincarnated...funny right~ my previous life...was crap...complete and...absolute crap...

Iseei blinked upon hearing the words of his brother, who claimed to be a reincarnated, as he drank directly from the bottle.

--I watched my mother die...I was dragged into the war, I killed more people than I can remember and committed more crimes than I'd like and did things I don't even want to remember...but you know Isee~ Still In that hell... I found a little happiness...

Iseei saw how his brother burst into bitter tears and his voice broke from pain and guilt, he himself felt a great weight in his stomach because something told him that the man in front of him was not lying.

--I had a wife, a daughter, I worked in a hospital... I was a doctor in a charity hospital, pediatric surgery, my wife was the most beautiful and crazy woman you could ever meet, a nurse, my daughter was a pretty girl, a innocent girl, tender and happy like a little bird...

--Souji...

The black-haired man took a last drink from the bottle before letting it fall into his shadow.

--After spending most of my life in a hell where the only thing I could do was kill, I spent the last thirteen years saving lives... but... but... but...

--Souji...calm down...

The brunette approached and patted the back of the broken and trembling black-haired man.

--Those bloody red clowns...the same bastards I killed for almost twenty years...they attacked the hospital... and...and...and killed them all...

The black-haired man's voice became tiny and broken, his unfocused eyes changing from blue to black every second, showing his instability and pain.

--...

Iseei could only stay by his side in silence since he couldn't find words to comfort his brother, he didn't have the experience or the maturity to give a word of support and even he knew that if he digested them it would be too insensitive to say them.

--I couldn't do anything... if only I had arrived a few seconds earlier... Natasha... Rita... the children...

--It's not your fault...Souji-onii-sama...

A clear and serene voice caught the attention of the two young people, Asia Argento was standing at the half-open door wearing nothing more than a simple baggy shirt too big for her, she walked slowly with her bare feet towards the two, while calmly repeating as if trying to appease the beasts that torment the grieving man.

--It's not your fault Souji-onii-sama...

--Rita...?

The black-haired man pronounced while his unfocused and cloudy eyes looked at the young saint who hugged him tenderly again.

--Souji-onii-sama really loved them...didn't he?

--I couldn't... protect them...

--It's not your fault...

--You can't protect them...

--It's not his fault Souji-onii-sama..

The youngest of the Hyoudou siblings, guided by her own conviction and empathy, did not leave the black-haired side and continued to console his hurt spirit, while a slight emerald green light covered her body and soon this light spread to the black-haired and brown-haired, covering them with a sensation. warm and comforting.

--Souji-onii-sama...it's not his fault...they wouldn't want to see him like this...they would want to see him enjoy his new life...

Asia Argento spoke slowly and deliberately to convince the black-haired boy to let go of his sorrows while she herself cried, subconsciously urging him with her Sacred Gear which allowed her to briefly feel the emotions that afflicted him when he hugged her by surprise a few hours ago but now she could fully feel those emotions, pain, grief, guilt, hate, anger but above all the love he felt for his family, a love so great that he could not bear that they became the source of a spiral descendant of Hate and Madness, she could feel them and her little heart ached to think that the boy in her arms had been holding those “demons” for so long.

--Souji-onii-sama think about them... think about... what they... would want you to do... with your new life...

Asia and Iseei spent a few hours calming him down, Asia didn't want anyone from her new family to suffer if she could do something to heal their pain with her power, Iseei was in shock after almost 17 years finding out that his "special" brother The minor was really special... although he didn't quite understand all that about reincarnation, he could understand the love he felt for his family and the pain that his loss brought them.

--...(Fuck... Souji is powerful, kind of cool and pathetic, Asia is cute, tender and now heals our broken hearts... while I'm just a pathetic devil excuse... really, what is it? what am I doing?)
