I'm biting my nail as I glance around nervously,but of course I keep my glance at bay. There's no need for other people to notice it anyway.

The drive takes an hour or so,but I feel strange. Mahiru try to posses me again which I find it amusing sometimes. I snort. Well,let her try it then.

Fufufu cocky much?

I ignore her comment as I roll my eyes and looking out through the window. This place is a wreck. The buildings isn't standing high and proud like it used to be anymore. The road isn't hard and solid since now it fulls with cracked where water and soils can be seen clearly. The sky that once fresh and blue turns fiery red and smells like rotten corpses.

Dead bodies everywhere. Man,women,young,old,rich,poor. None of those matter anymore to those who survive. They simply shake their head. Commenting,whispering,how 'unlucky' those who didn't make it. They simply lives behind the wall,happily. Silently thanking to whatever power up there that they survive. Long enough to still breathing in this 'rotten' world.

The decision of one of a human,destroy all of this.

I sighs. There. I'm bored. I don't know what to do anymore,but I do know one thing.

I want my family back.

Shinya, Mahiru,Yu,Yoichi,Shimizu,that shorty, . I want them back. I know I'm being selfish, but that's what makes me a human.

Selfish,egoist,ruthless . . .

His emerald eyes was looking through my lavender one with tears of hopes and adoration. The eyes that silently telling me to go home with him,happily in our house as the reminiscent comes to me when he met me. His eyes shines with so much sadness, so much hate,but there's a new determination to stay strong,continue living and survive from this world that 'shatter' from one foolish of a man.

Another memory come as he was crying in his sleep, simply saying he can't sleep,but one can easily knows he misses his family and isn't used to sleeping alone. I throw my ego away that night as I pull the blanket away from him only to had the both of us in one blanket. Its cold alright,but his small body that leaning to my chest,warm every core of my soul as he was shaking,his soft sniffles that he restraint, his simple 'thank you' as he sleep in my arms,was more than enough for me to tell me that he need me. Not only as his leader,his guide, but his family.
