What I've Become

A/N: I really am happy that I can totally see that my story is loved by those who have read it!

...

Third POV:

Arima Takahiko...

The father who have married Arima Kousei's mother...

His face was all but in tears while he is inside the condominium where he did let his son live so that Kousei will be able to study in Okutsu. As he was in tears, he remembered what his younger brother have told him, "I invited you not to mess up with your son's life, understood?"

He only laughed a bit.

"Me? Mess up with my son's life? It can be you who might mess up my son's private life. He's a great pianist, Akihito. When he does appear in your concert, everyone would soon know him and more people would begin to adore him. I know that you've figured it out that my son will live up Saki's dream."

"I want everyone to know him as I have loved Saki more than you and I will take care of your son more than you. My plan is not to break him. My plan is to steal him away from you and I'll show you how!"

"I won't let that happen! I swear in my life!"

Suddenly, he laughed. 

"Do you really think I'd steal him from you? You're my older brother! Your son is your son but I do think you already get what I want to say, nii-sama. In my concert, he will become immensely popular. His story and his past will be known. His talents would be introduced to the general public soon enough. I am risking your son in a very risky situation. I also learned about the reason why you've become tone deaf. Father forced your talents into the limits. You were a great pianist just like your son is now but, you stopped playing all of a sudden one summer when I was fifteen and you were eighteen. You were my hero. For your son to keep playing beautiful sounds, help me show him the world where he can interact with more people and inspire them. Lastly, we must help each other to not let father use him."

Akihito looked at him and he replied,"I will help you. Its about my son, anyway. Father might learn about my son but I won't let him become like me. I promise. For Saki.... for my wife... whose only treasure was her son. I won't let him be tainted with abuse in any way ever again!"

He did say that but when Akihito have already left, an old, silver-haired man grinned evilly. "Trying to disobey me, are you, Akihito? Do you honestly think and believe that you could always hide my heir's son from me? He will know me!"

Without the old man knowing, Takahiko have seen him and heard his voice.

Now that he's inside the parking lot, he knew that he has to save his son from the hands of his father before he is over handled for his talents. When he finally got inside his son's room, he had seen his son, lying on a sofa.

Since he did overheard his father who planned to use him, he tried to wake his son but, he was in a very deep sleep. He did let him sleep on his bed and locked the door. He knows that his father might probably have investigated where his son could be living already and he was right.

...

Arima Kousei POV:

When I woke up, I was surprised that I was inside my room.

It was dark and dreary so I did open the lights. I also scratched my eyes a bit but when I tried to get out to learn who carried me back on my bed. I was shocked when I heard two adult males shouting at each other.

I tried opening but it was locked. When I tried to listen closer, I knew that the other male was my father but, who was he arguing with?

Why do they even need to argue inside this condominium?

The answers did come quick. Both were angry. They are talking about my future.

"Would you disobey me just like your spoiled brat younger brother?"

"I will if I have to!"

"You've hidden him from me for a very long time now!"

"I WILL STILL HIDE HIM FROM YOU! HE'S MY SON!!!!"

Those words hurt me.

What exactly happened to my father many years ago? 

I thought he was just a businessman?

"You don't understand why I did that!"

"I don't understand? Damn it! I know that you were the one that scattered wrong rumors about my younger brother as you did disown him for not allowing himself to get married from the daughter of Senator Olivia!"

"I disowned your brother for a different reason, son!"

Son?

My grandfather is also here?

Why are they arguing?

What's wrong?

Tears began falling down my eyes.

I want to get out and tell them to stop arguing. I want to know the real problem.

What is actually happening around here?

"Tell me the reason why you told him to leave Japan and never to let him enter Arima Group ever again! My brother is innocent about all the crimes that was thrown to him!"

"I did not believe all of those rumors in the past. It seems you don't know the truth about your son and about Saki and Akihito," he told him.

While I was at the back of my door, I still listened closely.

What is my grandfather talking about?

What happened to my mom and my godfather?

"Stop, father! That is impossible!" cried my father.

What is happening?

Why does he seem to get it without even my grandfather telling him everything about it?

What happened to them?

"Arima Kousei!" I was shocked.

Did my grandfather know that I was listening to them?

"I know you can hear me! Your father knows the truth why your mother died!

"DO NOT SPOIL MY SON'S MIND ABOUT MY WIFE!!!"

"Your mother, Arima Saki divorced your father but it wasn't your mother's fault. It was all but your godfather's fault! He stole your mother and took you away from us. Yes. It was almost like she was kidnapped until she got sick. Your mother hid you but she still trained you to become a pianist after all. You can still play for him in that concert but you must remember, your mother died because of him!"

He opened my door.

When he faced me, I truly felt scared and I stumbled back on my bed, trying to protect myself from him but without me knowing, my father was already pointing a fencing sword at him.

"Leave this place, now, father. I won't ever believe that my wife divorced me because of him!"

My grandfather is still standing upright in front of me. I was looking down the floor and I couldn't look at his face but I know that he is wearing golden glasses and his hair is all white.

My eyes were also very blurry right now. I do wish these were all but just a dream until, I got very much sleepy and my eyes closed suddenly.

What... just... happened?
...

Takahiko POV:

I decided to strike him with a tranquilizer for now.

I have to make him sleep deeper so that everything he overheard, he would believe that all of those were just dreams. I couldn't let my son carry those wounds all over again like before.

He must play for his mother and for the girl he is in-love with.

He fell on the floor like a fragile glass and I quickly let the sword fall to catch my son who's collapsing. I quickly caught him back before he touches the floor.

"Leave my son's condominium!" I told him but my father snickered and turned his back on me.

"Your brother is treacherous, Taka. It will all be too late for your son if you don't believe me, now. I am already warning you. Your brother took your wife away from you with force. I never believed that Saki would betray you. I disowned him for messing up with your life."

"They were never married."

"They may not be married legally but Akihito forced himself and brought your wife into a far away province, luckily, Seto was there to keep her motivated and happy but when she was still alive, she insisted the same thing he told me. They were not in any way in a relationship but I could see hesitation in her eyes to be rescued. She was afraid to let me know the truth why she divorced you," he told me.

I just sighed. "I will make you own him again and make you believe that my wife has other reasons why she divorced me. Saki is loyal to me, father. My brother may have been in-love with her but they have a reason why they were in a province away from the city lights. "

After a while, he left us alone. I put him back on the sofa where he originally sleeps and of course, I decided to leave him for now.

I want him to wake up with a smile or even just with a confused face while thinking about what truly happened. I want him to believe that his grandfather did not visit him. My father would keep haunting him.

I have to be there to stop messing his life.

Akihito was disowned.

That is the reason why he changed his name to Enrique Yule but, he actually got married with Seto-san's sister one year after my wife's death. I returned back for my son and for my brother. I will protect them.

No matter what happens!

You will now see what I've become!

...

"What exactly is your reason for being here in Okutsu, Akihito?"

"Your son plays the same like you were, dear brother. I want to preserve that talent. I want Saki's dream to come true."

"We will do it, Akihito."

"I wanted to hear you touch the keys once again and play the piano once again."

"I'm tone deaf, now, Akihito."

"You are just afraid just like your son was once. I will make you touch the piano keys once again!"

"I can't play it anymore, Aki."

Akihito snickered and told him, "You're not tone deaf. You're a coward and a puppet to our father!"

I looked at the door of my son's room in the condominium hotel which I gave to him while he is here in Tokyo. Those words tells me that the reason why my brother decided to return was all because of me.

He returned for me.

He's creating a big war against our father.

I have to be here to keep my son away from their war.

If you do want to avenge me, Akihito, do it silently!

Do not touch my son for your vengeance!
