Our Futures

Chapter 19 Older Brother

Satoshi

This has probably become a routine for me now... the familiar house came into view along with the bluenette who had her long hair to the side sitting at the back with her grandfather a tray between them.

I found myself taking this route home from work or to work I think you get the point this path went past her house like always I glanced at the young girl who caught my eyes causing me to stop in my tracks her captivating sea-green orbs brightening while her lips curved into a smile Mr Saito I've been looking for you... shall we go home? as she flashed me one of her toothy grins my breath caught in my throat as I remembered it as the ones which I always saw her flashing Hikaru.

Mr Dreyar stopped talking after he noticed that she wasn't listening to a thing he was saying he followed his gaze to me instantly I turned my face away walking away silently glancing at Tsunade who laughed at my reaction a small smile curved my lips.

Night

Tsunade

thank you...

Mitsuki...

that's more than enough reason to still love you...

do you want to become my future?...

Tsunade!

Gasping I jolted up in my bed what was that dream about? my hands instinctively went to my forehead it was as if I was really there my eyes widened are these... are these my memories from my past life the door to my room opened loudly "Tsunade! what's wrong?" looking up I met the worried ocean blue eyes of my older brother Kurai "why are you crying?!" Kaito rubbed his head "why are you screaming so late in the night Kurai?" he yawned fixing his glasses "Tsunade's crying Kaito!" Kurai turned to him.

The image of his shocked face with tears running down his cheek "nii-chan..." my bottom quivered as I launched myself into Kaito's arms "eh? Tsunade?" he looked down at me rubbing my back it wasn't the flashback of nii-chan's tearful face that got to me my grip tightened on his back no his eyes are what got to me the... the emotions of terror and grief that his eyes held when he looked at me.

Sipping my cup of hazelnut hot chocolate "what's the matter Miss Dreyar?" Satoshi asks tearing his eyes away from the scenery "did you just want to have a coffee date or is there another reason?" I could feel my cheeks heating up "no it's not anything like that" I waved my hands in front of my chest "is it about Hikaru then?" he asks it was as if his name was a password or something for my heart to skip a beat "did my idiotic brother do something for you to be avoiding him?" after that night I avoided Hikaru at all costs strangely enough Satoshi and I have been hanging up frequently.

Releasing a sigh I placed my cup down "it's not something he did but..." I stopped thinking about how to bring up my recurring dream "but?" he raised a brow "you remember how I told you about my memories?" he nodded urging me to continue "a couple of days ago..." I told him about the incident which happened.

Satoshi blinked silently staring at me before he burst out laughing "I can't believe you... you're avoiding him because of this Tsunade" he wiped a tear from his eye "seriously he looks as if someone just told him the worst thing ever" Satoshi took a sip of his tea humming I turned to look out the window.

"Satoshi?" I turned to look at him "hm?" he glanced up at me from his phone "you have your memories right? so do you know how I died?" Satoshi stopped typing to whoever or whatever he typing giving me his full attention "unfortunately yes I do" he placed his phone down on the table "you sacrificed yourself".
