Shio opened his front door and looked down at a briefcase that was sitting there. He picked it up and closed the door, confused as to who sent him this. He set it down on his table and sighed. Leah walked into the room, sipping her coffee as she looked down at it.

"What's that, honey?"

"Some type of briefcase. I have no clue who sent this to me, but it's got a sticky note on it saying Shio, so it must be for me."
"It smells really bad, Shio. Open it and get rid of it, it's stinking up the place.

Shio's eyes opened up as he noticed a name engraved on the handle of it.

"What's wrong? Notice something." Leah tilted her head.

"N-No.. nothing." Shio covered the name.

"Shio you're a horrible liar. Move your hand."

"B-But I-"
"Move your hand, Shio." Leah glared at him.

Shio moved his hand.

Orozoco

"Orozoco?" Leah sat down next to Shio on the couch. "Is that somebody's name?"

"I-It's my last name.." Shio sighed.

He had just now finally told her.

"You told me you didn't have one."
"The name is dead to me."
"Why? Is it something that has to do with your father?"
Shio ignored Leah and opened up the briefcase. He immediately closed it covered his mouth, running toward the trash can in the bathroom to throw up. Leah was getting worried. She pulled the briefcase close to her and slightly opened it, looking inside. Two green eyes stared into hers. She opened it a little more and gasped. Shio's dead body laid in there. It was cut into pieces to make it easier to fit in there.

"What.. this makes no sense, Shio. How can you be there, and here at the same time?" Leah asked, standing up to face Shio.

"Look.." Shio pointed at the briefcase. "There's a sticky note barley sticking out."

Leah looked down at it and pulled it out, looking at what it said.

Shio, this is one version of you. I will kill every Shio that ever existed. Even if I have to travel multiverses just to find every Shio that lives to breath. I will strike them all down. Love you :)

"Who the fuck is this, Shio? Why are they doing this, and why did they say they love you?" She looked up at him after reading it out loud.

"Aneko.. Holy shit, it's Aneko. Fuck, not Akeno, oh I'm fucked. She's gonna kill me." Shio dropped down to his knees. "Why did I do what I did, If I didn't then this wouldn't be happening, I never should've done that, I'm a horrible person, this is what I deserve."

Leah walked over to Shio and got down onto her knees, cupping Shio's face in her hand.

"Look at me, honey. Who is Aneko, and why does she want to kill you?"

"Aneko is my sister.. She wants revenge because I killed out father."

"Y-You killed your dad?"

"I stabbed him to death right in front of my little sister.. Aneko walked in right afterward.." Shio started to sob.

"You told me you only had a sister and two brothers. I never heard of Aneko.."

"I didn't want you to find out about her... she's dangerous. I thought we could live a happy life without her getting in between us."

"Why the hell would you kill your dad?" Leah asked.

"Day after day my father would abuse my mother. Every single day. We ate breakfest at the table listening to my mother beg him to stop. He'd just slap her and call her a bitch. Every single day, Leah.."

"Why didn't you call somebody?"
"He's a highly trained assassin.. If I tried to tell anybody, that person and I would've died almost instantly."
"Assassin?"

"Yeah.. He wanted me and Aneko to cary on his legacy.. I didn't like killing people, yet I was forced." Shio looked at his hands and saw red blood all over them, now remembering the people he was forced to kill. "I finally had enough and killed him." "You did it for a good reason, Shio. He seemed like a bad person. You didn't do anything wrong." Leah said, hugging him tightly. "I'll do my best to protect you from Aneko, I promise."
