Akira deletes the photo. He then went into the kitchen, grabbing a knife. Ai's eyes widened, scared, and helpless (Ai couldn't just run because of her current Injury.)
Akira took a apple and skinned it. 'After skinning.' he then threw the apple to Ai, Ai catched it. Akira walks back towards the living room and sat at the couch.
"Hikaru is my apprentice... I thought him all the individual skills in maneuvering the internet. It started when he was 10..."
10 YEARS AGO...
Hikaru looks at the other children, playing joyfully at the park. Hikaru raises his hand, wanting to interact with them, but he saw them like they were looking badly on him.
He slowly lowers his hand... Looking down , ashamed...
Then suddenly, someone called out for Hikaru.
"Hey you."
Hikaru turns his head, following the voice. A random stranger?
"Yes you."
The Person said. (He beckoned Hikaru to come closer.)
Hikaru jumps off the bench and walked towards him. The Man broke the double popsicle and gave one to Hikaru.
Hikaru looks at it closely, slightly tilting his head, and then gave it a little lick
The man smiles leaned in closer and pats his head.
"What's your name?"
Hikaru looks up at him, his eyes widened. Someone is actually genuinely seeking him.
"H-Hikaru... Hikaru Kamiki."
The Man sighed and smiles and exchanged numbers, his voice, gentle.
"Akira Kiyoshi."
Starting from that day on, Hikaru and Akira always meet at that same bench to eat, to talk and to play with Akira. Seeing Hikaru laugh and smile makes Akira's heart melt for his innocence. Sometimes, Akira also teaches Hikaru some basic Cyber security maneuvers and how to defend from hackers.
MONTHS LATER IN THE LALALEI THEATER COMPANY
Hikaru started being active as a rising actor, acting with Airi Himekawa.
Akira at the backstage, his arms crossed, looking how well Hikaru is starting to get good at communicating with other people.
Akira smiles, proud at the boy he raised.
Looking at him like a younger brother.
AFTER THE ACTING REHEARSAL
Outside , going back home:
Hikaru and Akira walks along each other (The noise of the cars, driving pass them, and the bright night with the light's of Tokyo.)
Hikaru looks at Akira:
"Akira-sama... Thank you for being by my side 10 months ago... Or even a year now, I couldn't simply believe that I'm starting to get loved."
Akira turns his head at him, looking at him smile. He then pinched his cheeks.
Hikaru:
"O-owww! Wait, Owww!" Frowining
Akira removes his hand and chuckled, looking down.
"Stop copying me."
Hikaru leans in closer and asked.
"What? The smile?"
Akira turns returns his head looking straight at the path.
"What else. (Yes, the smile)"
Hikaru smiles again and nudges his arm with his shoulder.
"So what? I don't get to copy the person who supported me the most?"
1 YEAR PASSED
Akira's house:
While Akira is scrolling through his phone, he saw a new rising scandal of Airi Himekawa, Dating someone so young (He scrolls through some photo's of the scandal, and recognized the boy, behind the curtain Hikaru...)
HIKARU'S APARTMENT
Akira knocked on the door. Hikaru opened the door, looking at Akira.
Akira who's seemingly to be disappointed of Hikaru.
Akira:
"You're still 11. You must know that.
Hikaru looks on his lap, ashamed.
"B-but..."
Suddenly, the TV news announced Airi's death, by s*****e.
Akira was in shock and turns his head to Hikaru...
Hikaru looked horrified and broken....
Moments of Silence...
Hikaru slowly turns his head to Akira and asked.
"Akira-sama ...you're a... Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, you already reached me some technique before... so, why don't we continue it now?"
Akira's face widened and asked him.
"Why are you suddenly bringing that up?"
PRESENT TIMELINE
Akira:
"He reasoned that he wanted to protect the next girls who'd love him again."
"I tried looking into his eyes, but his eyes tell me everything that he was being genuine, i saw myself in him when I was young, broken, grieving and los. And thought, Maybe I could be the person I needed back then."
Akira sighed
"But I was wrong. Completely wrong.
Until you and Hikaru Broke up, only then I saw through his pretty lies of reasonings. His fake smile... But, it was already to. Using all of those knowledge from me to track you down, and with his own connections, he's a step above than me."
Ai looks down frowning. She then looked up, glancing at Akira.
"So... you were there.... so that's why you look faintly familiar to me... and Hikaru,he used the skills you thought him... abusing it and using it on his advantage... So... You're trying to save me, because you're feeling-"
Akira:
"Responsible."
Akira walked to the kitchen. Filling a glass with water, and then offering one to Ai.
"The moment I first laid my eyes unto him that day... I felt that same feeling, the intent of killing..."
Ai takes a sip of the water and tilts her head.
"So... You've gone through the same feeling before? And how were you able to track me down and how did you know I was murdered?"
Akira didn't glance at Ai, but on the laptop.
"Because his eyes weren't lying when he said that. (That Hikaru He would protect the next person who'd love him.)
"But what I didn't know obviously, was that it was actually twisted love...
And about the tracking. Remember the day your phone broke?"
Ai tilts her head in confusion, and then suddenly realized.
"So you-"
Akira:
"I hacked through using your number, I then infiltrated a leaked telecom node. The last ping , if i'm not mistaken, the last signal was in a production dormantory in Tokyo. After that, silence."
Ai's brain got overloadedand trying to understand what Akira was saying, Ai started stuttering. (Because she doesn't know about those things)
"H-h... Bu-but how about when I was killed?"
Akira closes his eyes, trying to recall his memories.
"When you and Hikaru met, I had already slipped a surveillance worm into your phone. not because I didn't trust you, but because I didn't trust him. Something was off when you two started interacted. So when you guys went and made the twins, I knew you two were-"
Ai hit's Akira's arm, blushing.
"N-no! Le-let's change the topic!"
Akira sighed, and then laid his back on the couch, crossing his legs.
"Fine."
Ai sighs in relief.
"So, what about it after that?"
Akira:
"And so, I was able to track you down even at the hospital where you gave birth to your children.
Pauses for a moment.
"I went there because Hikaru was also at the same location, but outside the building.
When it was your labor day, I saw Hikaru, talking to that 'Ryosuke' guy.
I was suspicious and followed him, I saw him killing a doctor."
Ai's eyes widened
"So... Sensei... Died? I thought..."
Akira did not turn his head but glanced at Ai who's in great shock. Akira sighed, he then continues (with a heavier tone.)
"I walked far to he wouldn't try and kill me, and then come up to him like I was lost to the road. When I was about to leave, I secretly made a tiny whole in his jacket and put on a gps audio and tracker. And no, that slice is impossible to notice, especially to a student without any special skills of his own."
Ai looks down on her lap, feeling bad that Akira had to bore all of that.
"And oh, How about my children?"
Akira went blank for a moment.
"I haven't tracked their new location yet, but what I know Miyako took them as her adoptive children."
Ai smiles, feeling content that Miyako took them in.
"That's great to hear... But I also want to see them grow..."
Akira sighed, closing his eyes.
"Still, don't reveal yourself. Hikaru is still a threat, and if he even get the slightest signal from you, he would start attacking again."
Ai frowns, but accepting it, knowing the risks. She doesn't want her children to be part of Hikaru's twisted love.
Silence.
Akira looks up at the ceiling, remembering something.
"Oh yeah, back on that hospital, I took on your doctor's place and was the one to give birth to you."
Ai jumped and hits him again, this time, it's harder and stronger, her face was like a tomato.
"A-Akira-san...Y-you!!!"
12 YEARS PASSED.
On a one plain house.
Aqua:
"Come on. You're still not ready, Ruby?"
Ruby, who was struggling on her uniform.
"Jeez, just wait a minute onii-chan."
Ruby Whispers:
"This uniform might be cute, but it's pretty complicated. But it sure is cute."
Ruby finishes her tie and runs to Aqua, wearing her shoes.
Aqua:
"Don't be making us late on the first day, okay?"
Aqua notices Ruby's skirt.
"Isn't your skirt a bit too short?"
Ruby raises an eyebrow, and then pouts.
"Onii-chan, you know, you've sounded like an old man."
Aqua shrugs it off. He then turned his head to the door, opening it.
Ruby remember's something.
"Oh that's right."
She turns her head to the picture frame of her, Aqua and Ai.
"Mama, we're heading out now."
While Aqua and Ruby walks out of the door.
From afar near a wall. Ai smiles, watches them leave. (Ai is on her disguise here.)
