He could've swore that he just made the most wierdest sound in the world as he swallowed. He felt his adam's apple rise then fall again to its original position. He couldn't let her take the blame for it. Then again, no matter how much father loved him, he'd be furious. There was only one way to really fix this. Take it to the shop. It would probably cost him almost all the money he saved up, but it was better than getting a good whipping. He remembered the first time, the only time, where he really got a beating from his father. The cold, steel like leather made his back feel like it was on fire. That's when his mother sent him away to that stupid private school. There, it wasn't much better. If he didn't do go on some test or homework, he didn't get fed. Some school right?
He sighed as his sister laced her delicate fingers around his own. She was so open. So free. But she was like a bird in many ways. Her spirt wanted to sail high above the clouds. The sky wasn't a limit for her. Nothing was a limit to her. But, being a bird, you had only the sky to fly upon. She was free, but not as free as she needed to be. That was Takumi's life dream. To give Christina freedom. To get away from their mother and father, away from this small town. Away from the mean and ignorant people. Somewhere where she could be. . .free. He longed for a place like that. But was he good enough to find somewhere like that? What if she didn't want to come with him. . .He shook his thoughts when he felt his sister's hand slip away. he quickly turned, fear in his emrald eyes. He saw her lips moving, he didn't quite hear her, but he knew what she'd asked. Lucky for him, she'd leave it alone. . .for now. Then the warmth returned to his hand as she gripped his hand again. His free hand was cramped up inside his pocket.
He was a terrible brother. He was an animal. A cold blooded murderer. Of course he had no intention to kill those people. He'd never dream of killing anyone, but he did. What did that really make him? He taken a female and a male's life. He stole their life force from their body. He swallowed again. Calm. Remain calm, a silent message to himself. Ment for only himself to hear. He glanced over to his sister, she seemed happy again. How? She knew that his brother had killed, and yet she was so set on it that he didn't mean to. Which he didn't mean to. . .but how could she be so, completely sure. She was so positive. She shouldn't want to be like him. He was an animal. A monster. A killer. You name it. He didn't want to be popular. He didn't want or need his mother's or father's special attention. All he wanted. . .was Christina's happiness. That was enough work. Not that he minded. He adored Christina with all his heart. Sometimes, he wished he could just pick her up and run. Run as far and fast as he could. Without a destination, without people hovering over them telling them how to do things, and where to go. No limits.
He snapped out of his little dream, as his sister's words rolled off her tounge. He looked over at her. Besides ice-cream,
"We need milk, eggs, and orange juice," he smiled,
"And you can get another little thing as well. Something you can eat while we're in the shop." there was no way he was going to let father find out about this. He'd fix it on his own if he had to. This was his only way to get around when mother dearest and father dearest were away. On "busniess". A smirk rose onto his face. Soon it faded as if it wasn't even really there.
As the two entered the store, the smell of old lady perfume filled his nostrills.
Gross, he thought. Not caring if Christina heard.
Go to the milk and egg thingie, he thought to her softly. Making sure she just didn't follow him aimlessly. He kept hold of her hand. He wouldn't let go of it. Not in an overly public place. . .oh. He glanced around and noticed no one was really there in the store. He let out a nervous cough, he still wouldn't let go. There was still some pretty wierd looking people shopping. He glanced over and saw some old man shuffling along carrying a little pill box. . .he cringged. He shook his thoughts. Okay so, the people weren't so. . .evil. But hey, you never know. . .right? He smiled to himself faintly as the two continued to the milk section.
