The White Wolf (3) and the Hero of Life

Chapter 12 - If Tears Were Magic [PART 2]

"We were turned into dragons in the lab." Ryuuichirou spoke.

Ryuuji nodded. "Yeah, we ran tests."

"I still wanna know what they wanted with Kairu-kun. It's sad that they want a kid who's so young." Reina looked at the boys. The gang looked at Kairu.

"They also took my son." Yoshirou continued.

"They told him the truth about his mother's death." Daisuke told the younger kids. "For now, find somewhere to sleep. I'll meet you there later."

Everyone agreed and left, but Daisuke stopped Shirou and Ryuuichirou. "Fubuki-kun, I understand you want to see your mother and brother."

Shirou seemed excited. "I do, but I can't, because they died." Ryuuichirou looked down slightly at Shirou, then the old man.

"Come with me. I'll show you them!"

The silver-haired boy followed him. Daisuke created a ray of light over Shirou.

When the light covered him, it was extremely bright, so it forced him to shut his eyes, and when he opened them, he was in Heaven. "Okaa-san! Nii-san!" Shirou called. He walked on a cloud, deeply interested in the physics. Then, Shirou turned to his mother. "Okaa-san!" he called.

The lady smiled at him. "Shi-chan, is that you?!"

"Okaa-san...!" Shirou cried and hugged her.

"Daijoubu desu. Kaa-chan's here!" she whispered in his ear.

"Where's Nii-san?" Shirou asked while crying.

His mother smiled and turn to one side, letting an orange-haired lad through.

"Nii-chan! Ne!" Atsuya smiled.

"ATSUYA!" Shirou hugged is shorter but older brother.

Shirou looked at his brother and his mom. "Tou-san changed... He takes drugs, drinks and abuses me and my friends."

Their mother sighed. "We hid something from you." she told him. They both looked at the lady.

"When you were born, we were told you were cursed, Shi-chan."

"Nii-chan's curse...!" Atsuya gasped.

Shirou looked down. "I have the power of The Shiroi Ookami - when I'm sad, a wolf tail and wolf ears appear."

She shook her head. "No, that's not it, you have to marry a girl for your curse to break."

"Okaa-san..." Shirou stared at his feet.

Atsuya looked at his mother. "What would happen if he didn't?"

"We were told that if you ever made love with a boy, you would carry a baby, but if you made love with a girl, your curse would be broken."

Shirou bit his lip. "I love someone and he's a guy. His family adopted me."

Atsuya looked at Shirou, then his mother. The lady smiled. "I'm very happy for you son. Now it's time for you to go."

Shirou started crying. "NO...! NO! CAN'T MY TEARS BRING YOU BACK?! THEY HAVE TO!!! WHY AREN'T MY TEARS MAGIC...?!!!!!"

Shirou was lead back to the ray of light. Before, long he was back on the ground.

"Fubuki-kun..." Daisuke stared.

"I saw them. I'm glad I did." he sniffed he then turned to face Ryuuichirou. He ran to him and cried into his dragon leg.

Ryuuichirou rubbed his head against Shirou's. "Its ok shawn"

A tear fell on the white-haired boy's leg. Suddenly, a white glow went over him, lifting the red dragon in the air. Ryuuichirou was slowly returning to his human form again. Then it stopped, and he fell to the ground.

"Ryuuichirou-kun?!" Shirou stepped back.

Ryuuichirou looked down himself. There was mud on his face and a huge scar on his side from his armpit to his hip. "I'm... human."

"And you're topless." Daisuke held his laugh back.

Shirou chuckled and hugged Ryuuichirou. "Suki, Ryuuichirou. DAIsuki. Aishiteru. I'm glad you're back."

Ryuuichirou blushed and hugged the younger kid. "Aishiteru, too, Shirou-chan."
