Chapter 27.

Y/N's Pov.

A 'clang' followed by a large 'thump' can be audible from the front door.

"Y/N! Can you get that?" My brother shouts, not giving me a chance to answer as he then began to chase Aneria, pretending to be a monster about to catch her in a 'tickle attack'. Her loud giggles bounce and vibrate off of the walls.

It's that time of the week again.

I pick up the stacked envelope, already knowing what it was. Of course, I do feel slightly guilty using this most likely illegal money from Izana but a lot of it helps us pay for Chifuyu, Aneria and I to live comfortably. Though, It is a lot of money. Too much actually.

Atleast Izana stuck to his promise. 'Taking care from the sidelines.'

Engrossed in my self pity, I open the stack. Inspecting the contents that flew out of it, the money, alongside a note of paper. It's something new, for a first.

It's just a note right?

Yet I still watch it in mystery as my S/C hands reach out to it. Is this a cheque, perhaps?

I flip the paper open, an address written on it. I scoff, striding over to the bin while flipping over the paper to make sure theres nothing else on it.

Holy shit?

My finger traces  the writing on the paper. Izana, is a sly bastard. How can you leave and claim you love me after 2 years?

I throw the sheet back onto the table, tying to regain stable thoughts on what I should do next. Do I reply to him? Does he even deserve to be replied to?

My eyes wonder to my daughter, playing with Chifuyu. She's a splitting image of her father, she is beautiful. He deserves to at least see her, doesn't he?

I walk into my room, harshly opening my wardrobe door and pulling out a photo album. After multiple traumatising nights of being isolated away from most of humanity by someone who I deem to love, I decided to appreciate the people around me more. I flick towards the more recent photographs, I always have duplicates, so giving one to him wouldn't be so bad right?

I smile at a picture of Aneria hugging me, smiling towards the camera. It was slightly blury, but Chifuyu still seems to protest he is the 'greatest photographer in Japan.' Then, a slightly better thought pops to my head as I flick back a page. A photograph of us all. Fuyu, Aneria and I smiling at the camera on her second birthday. I'll send him this one.

I want to rub it in, to show him how happy I am without him. He can no longer keep me away from people. On the contrary, I'm still being nice by giving him this attention in the first place.

I smile with pride as I stuff a new envelope, nothing in it but the duplicate photo card.

I let the ink drip down onto the envelope, neatly rewriting the same address that was on the sheet of paper he had sent. Making sure it was perfectly written and readable to the post people. I wouldn't want them to mistake the destination of this letter, would I?

Walking out of the room, envelope in my hand, I snap my head towards both Aneria and Chifuyu with a huge and prideful smile.

'Let's go out grocery shopping, we can go to the park later.' I hold up the letter, shaking it slightly 'I've got something to deliver.'

Izana's Pov.

Perhaps I had misjudged Y/N.

I held an immense amount of hope but for the most part, I knew she probably wouldn't answer my note.

Though with a slight surprise, one of the men I had told to look out for any potential mail had brought me back a letter from her. The envelope was bland, nothing more than an address on it. Did she want to keep up a mysterious act? Or was she simply not bothered with me?

Who am I kidding, of course it's the first. Who would not want to bother with me? I throw my head back in a relaxed smirk before picking it back up again and softly pulling apart where the envelope was glued shut, not wanting to potentially damage anything precious Y/N put in there.

My creative imagination begins to drift off- I wonder, did she use her saliva to lick the envelope shut? I return to my senses when I realise this thought was slightly weird.

I dip my hand into the opening pulling out nothing more than a photo card. I flip it over with haste, I couldn't contain myself.

I gasped in awe as Aneria's smiling face plastered the card. She looked just like me! My eyes shift over to the right, Y/N. Gorgeous as ever. Her H/C, H/L hair looked soft and healthy. A beautiful smile paired with her mesmerising E/C eyes staring back at the camera captured me in a long moment of infatuation. She was looking back at me.

On the other side, her brother Chifuyu.

Grabbing the photo card, I exit my room and stride over to the kitchen, rummaging through the draws until I pulled out some decently sharp scissors, then carefully carving him out of the photo. After I finished, I threw him away. I don't particularly hate Chifuyu, I appreciate how much of a great brother he is to Y/N. But I don't really need him in such a special photograph.

'You really are evil, right Izana?'I hear a low laugh from behind me.

I flinch, dismissing the comment for the most part, turning around to face Mikey with a deadpan face.

'Woah. When'd you cut your hair?' I ask, examining his new, straight and short side part. 'Kind of look's like mine from a few years ago, you were inspired by me weren't you?' I tease, wanting to agitate him.

'Nice picture. Y/N's hot.' I glare at him in confusion as a cocky grin paints his face. He's trying to get me on my nerves.

I look back down at the picture. He isn't wrong.

'Mikey, we're done here, right?'

'Business here? For the most part, yeah.' He replies, slightly unsure of where this conversation is going.

I hold up the photo, pointing to it. 'Let's go back to Japan. To her.'
