"Is there something you want to saying to me..." Kei turn around

"Kujo Tenn?"

There stood Tenn who crossing his arms. He look at Kei coldly while he just look back at him flatly. "Who are you?"

"I'm sure, I introduced myself earlier"

"That's not why I meant, who you really are and how'd you know Riku?"

"What relationship might you have with MY brother?"

"I'm his TWIN brother, I have any right to know" said Tenn sternly

"You USED to be his twin brother" said Kei with cold eyes, "he's not your brother anymore, he's MINE. Remember that" Kei walk pass him while whisper, "You have no rights to him again"

Tenn doesn't move from his place. He gritted his teeth and clenched his hand hard.

Little Kei walk alone in hospital corridor. He barely come from school and immediately went to hospital. Since he's 5 years old, he frequently here because his mother condition and it's been 4 years.

When he almost reach her room, he saw a kid around 7 maybe, crunch down on the floor and lean his body at wall. He can heard a cough fit from him. He stop and think is he should approach him or not.

Feels affection, he approach him, "hey, are you ok?" Ask him monotone. The kid seemed not notice him and Kei barely know that he struggles to calm his breathe. Kei frown and began to worried. He crunch down and touch his shoulder, "you ok? Did you need help?"

"My... Room.... Please.... 217" he tried to talk. Without a second though, he support him to stand and bring him to his room. It's a little difficult because their body size almost same but this kid light in weight so Kei doesn't struggle to much.

They reach his room, Kei opened the door and bring the kid to his bed. His breathing still heavy, after he settled on his bed he try to reach a table beside it. Kei stop him, "what you try to do?"

"My... In-" his sentence cutted by cough

Being a perceptive person he is, he open the drawer and find an inhaler. He take it and help him use it. When he about to calm, "what are you doing out there alone? Is no one accompany you?" Ask him

"I... I'm sorry, I just felt bored when I'm alone here" said him with head low. Kei felt a strange feeling in his heart, a feeling that was the same as when he was with his mother but different. Feeling to protect.

He patting his redhead. Riku lift up his head and stare at Kei bewildered. His red sunset eyes make Kei stunned. He doesn't paid any attention before, but he admit that he have a pretty eyes and he's.....cute. Kei' blush a little and turn his head to the side, "you okay Nii-Nii?"

"A-ah, I'm fi-, wait! What did you call me?" He turn to the kid

"Um.. Nii-Nii? i, i'm sorry, did you not like it? It accidentally slip from my mouth, I don't know your name so-"

"Hey, hey, it's ok, I just a little surprised. And what's your name?"

"Ah, sorry for my rudeness, my name is Nanase Riku. Yoroshiku..." Riku bow his head and lift it up again to look at Kei bewildered

"Kei, my name is Sunohara Kei"

"Jaa, Kei-nii" he said his name with wide smile and an imaginary flower around him. Kei feels embarrassed, it's first time someone made him feels like this. He cover his face and mumble somethings which Riku can't catch. "Did you said something Kei-nii?"

"...Nii, c-call me Nii-Nii" he look at Riku with a red checks

"Hai', Nii-Nii" Riku smile wider. Unconsciously Kei following him and smile.

I7 came back when almost midnight. No one sleep yet even Trigger and Kei. Currently they gathered in restroom.

"Sorry if I sound rude but... Why you still here?" Ask Yamato to Kei

"I will spend the night here until tomorrow"

"Here is not an inn, why do you have to spend the night here?" Tenn said unfriendly

"Oi brat! Watch your mouth" scold Gaku which got ignore

"There is something I need to do around here and I have a lot thing to talk with my little brother" answered him flatly not bothered

"So you here to babysits your brother? Nanase-san, you're a professional so don't mixed personal business with your job" said Tenn directly to Riku

"T-that's..."

"Oi, oi, Kujo, you don't need to include Riku" said Yamato

"What are you talking about? It's clearly involved him, if he's not his brother he will not here. And I assume it's personal thing which shouldn't they bring here. We're professional, we should know what we capable of-"

"That's enough!" Cut Kei venomous, "If you object to my presence, I will go... But Rei will come with me. Like I said before, we have something to talk"

Tenn open his mouth to talk but Kei precede him, "if you think it's something useless, you're wrong. For us, it's important as much as this shit" everyone eyes widen. People as calm as Kei swear, that's mean he really pissed, "Rei, let's go" he walk off without waited Riku respond.

"K-kei-nii, wait" Riku tried to call his brother but failed. He saw the departure of his brother and Tenn in turn, he feels confused and look at his surrounding. No one move since then. "I, I have to go along with Kei-nii. D-don't worry, I'll be back tomorrow and I already know the schedules"

He barely turn his back, "what is this? You prefer that than you idols life? Is it really important than your career" Said Tenn

"Tenn, stop it! It's exaggerate" said Ryuu but got ignored

They still facing Riku' back, "my life not just around here... Kujo-san" Tenn eyes widen in surprise, it's first time Riku called him with his last name even more in a cold tone, "I have other life too and I know what I capable of. Yeah i'm a professional, but I, everyone have their own way to show their professionalism. Not everyone is like you and I have so many thing which important to me" he said the last sentence while turn his head and look at Tenn with a cold, glowing eye. He then walk off.

In a way to the apartment they already have, Riku always stare at window and his face look a little sad. Kei concerned with him, "you okay Rei?" Riku startled by the sudden question, "y-yeah, i'm fine"

They keep silent for a moment, "sorry" said Kei suddenly

Riku turn to him, "what you sorry for?" Ask Riku confused

"For before, I think I overreacting"

"Ah, you don't need to apologize" Riku turn his gaze to the front, "Tenn-nii always like that when it's about me, whether he is conscious or not I think he feel a little jealous, maybe" he chuckle at his own sentence, "but he's a good person and brother" said him with a soft smile.

Key glance at him silently, "hmm" respond him with a hint of jealousy. Riku aware with this and decide to tease him a little, "yeah, he's really a good brother I ever have..." "Had" "...he always take care of me since, sing for me even dance for me. When i'm sad, he always be able to cheer me up and-" Riku can't finish what about he said because Kei suddenly brakes the car they drive, made him pushed forward. Thank for the seatbelt, he doesn't hit his head, "cotto, Kei-nii! Why you suddenly brake the car?!"

"Gomen, there is a cat" said him monotone

"Really? I didn't see anything"

"Of course you didn't noticed, you're to busy talking about your perfect brother" said him while start to drive the car again. Riku blinked before chuckles, "what? Is there something funny for you now?"

"Aw~ you're jealous" said Riku with teasing voice

"W-what are you talking about? Why would I be jealous about something like that?" Because already night, Riku can't see Kei' face clearly but when they pass a light, he can see Kei's check slightly red.

"Gomen Rei, can you check this out?"

"Nani? Ah, it's from him, right?" "You're not find him yet?"

"Not yet, it's more difficult then what I thought. What about your research about it?"

"I almost in dead end, but somehow I can found a little clue"

"Ah... Rei, I have a request"

"What is it?"

"I know you busy with your job but can you finish this alone. There is some plenty request I get here and the other busy too"

"I don't mind, I don't have much request though. It's may the last and after that I'll free, well from this I mean"

"Good, sorry, if you have a problem you can call me or the others"

"Okay. Talking about him, it's been a long time since I seen him. Is he doing fine?"

"The last time I came there, he seemed fine. Why you're not go there to see him?"

"Well, that's because he often there recently and I can't face him there yet"

"Oh"

"Aw~ come on, don't be like that"

Riku back to the dorm at noon, he immediately went to his job place this morning so he's not have to back and forth. He suspect no one in dorm this time because his teammates have their own job now and he's sure Trigger too. He's not ready to face Tenn yet.

He went in and take his shoes off, "Tadaima" he know that no one will answer th- "okaeri" Riku startled by the answer. He look up and fine Tenn sit in couch while drink...something.

"A-ah, Te- Kujo-san, you don't have work?" Ask him nervous

"No, today is my day off"

Riku just nod and went to sit there. When he already sit, 'why I sit here?!! I can just immediately go to my room' thought Riku frustrations

They sit there in silent. This silent really kill Riku, "I, I'll go to the kitchen to get a drink, did you need one or something?"

"I already have my drink and no, i'm don't need anything"

"S-sou da ne" He rubbed behind his neck and laugh nervously, "w-well, I'll go now" after said that, he rush to the kitchen. Not long, he returned and sat there just to curse himself to came back there. Riku bow his head all the time and didn't look at Tenn at all.

Tenn who see this sigh, well he can't blame his brother when it's him who in fault. Because yesterday event, he can't sleep at all. His mind always wander off to Riku. He doesn't know what gotten into him yesterday, he just feels jealous when watch the two of them get along.

He set his heart and walk to Riku. Riku doesn't aware of his presence in front of him until he put his palm over Riku's head and call him, "Riku" Riku flinched because of that, "y-yes?" He still not lift his head up.

Tenn sigh again and hold Riku' chin so he can face him. Riku just stare at him confused and still nervous. "Sorry" said Tenn softly. Riku eyes widen, he opened his mouth to talk but Tenn shushed him, "i'm sorry for yesterday, I overreacting. It's just...it's just that I feels uncomfortable seeing you two. I shouldn't said all of that back than. I'm sorry" he caressing Riku' checks, "can you forgive..Tenn-nii?"

Riku' eyes more widen if it can and become teary, "T-tenn-nii, can, can I call you Tenn-nii again?"

"Why not? You're my brother after all. But because our job, you can't call me that when we in public" said him while smile sweetly.

Riku really crying this time, he hug Tenn' waist and buried his face on his stomach, "huwaaa... Tenn-nii g-gomen, I don't mean to said all of that yesterday. It- it's just I won't you two to fight" he said while sobbed

Tenn chuckles and glad that his brother doesn't change that much, 'he still a crybaby I remember'. He patting Riku' head and try to calm him.

After everything what had happened, they cuddling with each other on the couch. Good think it's just two of them. If everyone here, Tenn bet they'll tease them.

"Ne Riku" call Tenn to gain Riku attention which answered by hummed, "how'd you end up with them, I mean you brother. Where our parents?"

Riku mind blank for a moment before he look up to Tenn, "did you want to meet them Tenn-nii?"

"That's..."

"They're close from here, i'm sure they will happy to see you again" said him with a little smile

"Close?" Ask Tenn confused which got a nod, "I..." Riku break free from Tenn hug and pull Tenn to stand with him, "come on, I'll show you" 'show?' Tenn more confused now buy decide to just follow his brother.

They wears their disguise and went out. Tenn just silently following Riku and sometimes look around, 'it's not where us used to life, are they move out?' Thought Tenn. They arrive in a place that Tenn recognize, "Riku?" Call him but got ignored. Can't resist anymore, he held Riku' hand, "Riku, why we're here?" ask him but Riku just keep silent not even turn to him, "answer me! Why we're at..." He walk to face Riku.

"....graveyards?"
