The Last One ~ Zero Love Story (On Hold)

Chapter 2

"Zero nii-chan, hurry up and finish preparing or we are going to be left behind." The little silver haired boy panicked as he ran around his bedroom packing his suitcase.

The summer break had already started and the Kiryu family was preparing for a vacation. We have rented a beach house that was located somewhere away from the city.

"Slow down Ichiru!" The other silver haired boy said stopping his twin, making him sit down on the bed.

"But we-"

"We won't be late. No more running and stressing, you are going to get a fever."

Ichiru smiled at the concernment of his older brother. "You are such a good brother Zero." He then hugged him which made Zero frown.

'I am not Ichiru. You deserve a better one.' Zero thought.

"Zero! Ichiru! Are you done packing yet?! If not, hurry up or you're going to be left behind!" Their mother yelled from down stars.

"See? I told you!" Ichiru then got up and started to pack with high speed. Zero couldn't help but chuckle.

Soon after they had finished with the packing, they soon hit the road. The little twins fell asleep on the 6 hour drive. Feeling like only 1 minute had passed, they were awoken by their mothers voice.

"Wake up sleepy heads. We are almost there." Zero rubbed his eyes and looked out of the window. His eyes widened from being amazed by the scenery. They were on a road that was right next to the sea. There were no waves and the sea was peaceful. They could hear the seagulls from not afar. The sky was clear blue, only few shades lighter then the sea itself. The sun was shining brightly. The reflection of the golden sun on the clear sea was really bright, almost blinding.

"It's so pretty here..." Even Ichiru was speechless.

After about 5 more minutes, from afar they saw a simple and small wooden house that was build a bit above the sea terrene. When the car stopped, the little boys immediately and took their bags. They didn't wait a moment and entered the house, but shortly after exited it, wearing only their swimsuit.  

"Don't go too far!" Their parents yelled from the house.

Boys heard that but they didn't stop running through the warm sand, straight into the water. Even being tiered from the long trip didn't stop them from having fun. They played and swam in the sea 'till the moment they heard a beautiful melody.

"Hey, do you hear that?" Zero asked his little brother, making sure that he is not imagining things.

"If you mean someone singing then yes. Want to check it out nii-chan?"

Zero nodded. At that, Ichiru smiled then took his hand and they followed the mysterious voice. As they got closer, their came upon a bile of stones. Their path was blocked, and whatever was on the other side had been hidden.

"How to reach it now? There is no other way around?" Zero asked himself. Just as he was thinking of a plan, Ichiru started to climb the stones. "Ichiru what are you doing! Get back down here!"

"Come on Zero. Let's see where that melody is coming from." Zero clinched his fists and started to climb the rocks behind him.

They soon reached the top. However, they did not expect to see what they had see. A little girl was sitting at a large rock which was in the shallow part of the sea. Her tanned back faced them so they couldn't see her face. All they could see was her fiery middle length hair, which had byzantium strikes. She was splashing her feet in the water and singing a strange yet beautiful melody. Her presence for Zero was strange though, it wasn't alike anything that he had sensed.
