Izana's Precious Twin

Sano

Izumi woke up and checked Izana and Kakucho's rooms to find them empty. Odd. He went to the kitchen since they tend to eat whatever was in the snack cabinets or pantry instead of a proper breakfast.

They were not there. He tried not to think too much about it and started cooking. That Shuji guy was, creepy. With the cutie pie nickname and those weird tattoos. Tattoos on his hand! Those looked very painful. Oh well. Izumi let his body go on autopilot and moved around the kitchen stirring or flipping.

Being alone gave him time to think. Think that Izana and Kachan had left him. Their parents returned and took them away. He still could hear yelling and screaming at him. Her well manicured nails that drew blood from him. The well glossed plump lips that spoke such cruelty.

He stopped what he was doing when he realized tears had formed and gathered at the ends of his eyes. Izumi plated the food and changed. Just some shorts and a shirt before leaving a small note on the table.

His cell rang again but when he looked at the caller ID he closed it. Izumi knew it wasn't his fault but his brain told him he was responsible in a way. Izana refused to hear them out when he heard there would be permanent damage to him.

He was sure that Shinichiro called or texted almost every day to try and meet the twins.

Emma was frying eggs in the pan while Gramps read the paper at the table. Mikey hadn't come out yet. Shinichiro was in his room and looked at the screen saying the call declined. When Izana found out that Mikey was the one who damaged Izumi's voice he also refused to contact them.

"You knew Shinichiro?! Mikey has ruined his life!"

"Izana please calm down and listen to me! I swear I didn't-"

"NO! I NEVER want to hear or see you again! Izumi is so insecure about his voice now. Some days, he doesn't even talk and looks so upset. Just, just stop lying to me."

Izana felt the back of his eyes hurt and clenched his fist to try and stop himself crying. Life was so unfair to them. He and Izuku were unwanted babies abandoned at an early age. Izumi was beaten by their so called mom.

He though telling him would end it but it got worse. She resorted to psychological and verbal abuse so there wasn't an physical signs. Izana could care less about what happened to them. He continued to glare at him with all the hatred in his heart.

Izumi suffered permanent damage and his friend, that attempted to save him, most likely also had permanent damage as well. And yet, when he told him and Hitto he acted like it wasn't his little brother that did it.

His tears mixed with the rain and ran down his face and soaked into his coat. They had a family of half siblings but that was gone too. He ran away and left Shinichiro who dropped to his knees and sobbed.

He put his cell away and joined them for breakfast. Emma still wore the apron from cooking. Gramps flipped the page. Mikey held his precious, tattered blanket with him eating. Shinichiro took the last seat and ate.

"Mikey I'm here and I brought Takemitchy!"

"Wait in my room!"

Takemichi admired the traditional home and beautiful scenery as he followed Draken. Mikey's room had various posters of motorcycles and some furniture as expected. There wasn't anything special about a teen's room.

Mikey sat on a chair while Draken combed through his hair, holding a hair tie in between his teeth. Takemichi knew Izumi had a sibling but he didn't mention him being a twin brother! Plus in the future it was Izana working with Kisaki.

"Mikey, what do you know about Izana Kurokawa?"

The mention of his name made Mikey stiffen for a moment and his face softened. But only for a moment, so Takemichi wasn't sure if he saw that. Mikey played with his hands looking down. 

"He's my half sibling Takemitchy. Izumi is too."

"Izana is linked with Tenjiku! I'm sure of it."

Draken stood up and gave a questioning look at Mikey. He heard a little from Mikey and Shin about the half twins. But he never actually saw them in person. Apparently Izumi was a rather popular and well liked model. He saw him sometimes on the front of magazines or store posters.

"....Takemitchy, Draken, this discussion stays here."

"Of course." Draken

"Okay."

Mikey closed his eyes and took a deep breath before recounting the accident. He decided to start from morning.

Emma came in with a tray of tea for them when he mentioned Izumi visiting Gramps and him. She set it down and smiled tightly, excusing herself. She heard from Izumi and Mikey what happened. It hurt to think about.

Mikey didn't look at her when she was in his room. Emma was scared of him sometimes. And he understood. A child attacking another so violently and horrifically would scare anyone. All Mikey wanted to do was beg for forgiveness from Izumi. Haru forgave him, sort of. He wasn't exactly sure what he thought of him.

He resumed his story and came up to the part when he saw his broken plane wing. Draken and Takemitchy had never heard this and was intrigued by every word he spoke. Hesitating Mikey described how Senju indeed broke it by mistake.

"I didn't want to believe her so I kept asking. Who broke it? Senju said Izumi did. I. Was so angry and upset that I wasn't thinking right. I found him and Haruchiyo feeding our koi fish in their pond."

Mikey detailed him going for Izumi ready to attack. Haruchiyo met him head on and he tore the sides of his mouth. Draken knew Mikey was strong and used to blood but was shocked to hear how much blood came and he didn't stop.

"I stopped after I realized it was Haruchiyo and not Izu."

Both listened as Mikey squeezed Izumi's neck but not hard enough to make the boy underneath unconscious. Takemichi gulped when Mikey said he forced his hand into his mouth and down his throat.

His sharp nails and fingers scratched the insides and vocal cords. He clenched his legs as he said he thought that Izuku would bleed only. 

"Then Shin told me that they were taken to the hospital. I felt so much regret and guilt. Haruchiyo has two diamond shaped scars on the sides of his mouth. And....Izumi can't fully use his voice. 

Haruchiyo told me that Izumi was much quieter when he left and that it strains his body to talk normally. Every time I looked at him, I see those scars and it all comes back. But I haven't seen Izumi or Izana to apologize to them. I was hoping you might tell me, Takemitchy."
