Betrayal

pain, childhood and hatred

Again. It's happening again

Takeomi punishes him again for messing up Senju.

Senju... How much he hates her. He always suffers because of her. She always creeps up on him and his friends.

She's a girl! Why is she so troubled and naughty? So Ema always obeys Mikey, is quiet, and plays with dolls in her room.

But his younger sister ... how disgusting to call Senju like that, on the contrary, she is noisy, naughty, and creates too many problems for him.

After finishing scolding him, Takeomi led them to Sano's house. As always, he brought Senju as well. Again, will climb to him and his company.

Mikey shows them a new toy. Haruchie wants to play with the airplane. Baji too. But Mikey won't let them.

Senju comes up to them and asks to play together again. Infuriates. Akashi yells at her, and the girl runs away crying.

Mikey and Baji talk about what a bad sister he has, and Haruchie agrees with them. Akashi is jealous of Mikey because Ema is just the perfect sister.

***

Despite Sano's ban, Akashi still plays with the plane. And suddenly accidentally breaks it.

Haruchiyo panics. What to do?! He crashed the plane! What should he tell Mikey and the others?!

Mikey enters the room. Mikey asks who broke the plane, and Sanzu lies with a smile:

- Senju broke it.

Mikey is angry. No, he's just angry.

Sanzu is having fun. But his fun didn't last long.

A few minutes later, Senju's scream is heard on the street where Mikey went. Haruchie walks slowly and goes out into the street.

When he saw what happened and the reason for his sister's cry, he fell into a stupor, spellbound by what was happening.

There sits Senju on his knees, Senju all in tears and with a torn mouth. Blood flows down her chin, disfiguring her sister's beautiful face and dripping onto the ground.

Mikey stares blankly at her and doesn't pay any attention to them. It was only now that Sanzu noticed Keisuke.

He is trembling in fear of what is happening, even crying. Sanzu mentally grimaced. Keisuke shouldn't cry. Boys don't cry. Only girls cry.

Mikey finally pays attention to them as Senju sobs and mumbles something. Most likely an apology.

"Smile, Haruchiyo" Sano orders.

And Haruchiyo smiles.

***

Many years have passed. Sanzu ran away from home a long time ago, and Senju stayed with Takeomi waiting for Haruchiyo to arrive. But this did not happen.

Haruchiyo became Sanzu and Senju became Kawaragi. Now they are not brother and sister, but enemies. They have different gangs and different leaders.

Senju, as in childhood, looks at him with love in his eyes but at the same time with sadness and bitterness on his face. Tears roll down his pale skin, and his sister (no) doesn't try to wipe them away with her hand, looking at him instead.

-Haru-nii.... Tell me one thing. Why did you betray me, then?

Two identical, diamond-shaped scars flaunt at the corners of Senju's lips. Once upon a time, Senju did not have them, and she was supposed to grow up very beautiful, but Mikey tore her mouth, giving her scars.

Sanzu gets angry, jealous of why Senju got the scars and not him. His King, Mikey, shouldn't have gotten his hands dirty on Senju.

"Do you really think you were once dear to me?" he asks mockingly. "I've always hated you." It was because of you that Takeomi punished me because you were always naughty. Ema was better than you-he says the last phrase more quietly but clearly so that Senju can definitely hear it.

Senju's heart shatters into a thousand small pieces the moment Sanzu strikes her with a pipe.
