A*M*E*R*I*C*A(Cricky)

Reincarnated

Chris' POV:

"W-wait! Chris please don't!" My eyes widened a bit when I heard his voice. I lifted my head up to see Ricky. His lip was trembling as he sat up on his shaking knees.

"C-Chris, I know he's hurt you. You have every  right to be angry, but he didn't...We didn't do it. He cried before he could do anything and stopped himself." His voice was shaky but I knew he wasn't lying to cover anything up. I kept looking at my precious Rick, not seeing any fear in his eyes. All I could see was his caring nature and a warm smile spread across his cute lips.

I sighed softly, the anger that was controlling me slowly fading into sympathy. Kuza kept staring up at me, his bottom lip slightly trembling. This was the same face he would make everytime he was scared. I looked up from him to see everyone staring at us. My eyes made their way to meet Ash and Dani's gaze. They both smiled warmly and nodded. I smiled back slightly looking back down at my little brother before standing back up. I saw him breathe a sigh of relief and I reached my hand out for him to grab. He gave me a soft but confused gaze as he slowly reached out for my hand. I stood him up and kept my eyes on him. Kuza's rowdy and evil nature was gone and replaced with one of sadness and emptiness.

"Kuza, this isn't you. I know I wasn't always the best big brother, but I loved you so much. I still do. And I don't want to hurt you anymore."

Kuza hung his head and I heard him sniffle.

"My parents would always tell me how you were terrible with them. How you never loved me. They said you left because of me, and I didn't want to believe them at first. But I waited so many years for you to come back Chris. Even after they abandoned me they would blame you." His voice cracked and I could feel myself about to break so I kneeled down and embraced my little brother for the first time in years. He hugged back crying into my chest but I didn't let go. I opened my teary eyes to meet with everyone else. My friends were all smiling at me and one by one joined in on the hug. I pulled away a bit to wipe away Kuza's tears and we all stood up.

"Richie, let Ricky go." He spoke and the guy with the headdress didn't hesitate to untie Ricky. The kitten smiled widely and almost immediatly jumped into my open arms. It felt so good having Ricky back with me, I could feel my heart racing. I looked down at him but before I could say anything I was met with his lips being pressed against mine. I didn't complain as I kissed him back deeply.

"God i've missed you Chris." Ricky smiled up at me, his little cat fangs poking out from under his lips. I smiled and kissed his forehead.

"Me too. I'm glad I have you back. Let's go home." I picked him up carrying him on my back, but before I could walk out the door I felt a small tug on my shirt. I looked down to see Mike standing there. He bit his lip before nodding his head in the direction where Kuza was standing. He hung his head, his friends surrounding him trying to comfort him. I sighed softly and put Rick down with Ash and Dani and walked over to where my brother was. His friends stepped away to give me so space so I lifted his crying face up to look at me.

"That means you too Kuza." I smiled as his face lightened up.

"W-what? You mean it? But I.." I held my hand up making him stop mid-sentence and placed it on his shoulder.

"You're family. And your home is with us. With me." I gave a nod to his friends who were standing quietly. "That includes them too."

A smile slowly spread across my brothers face as he wrapped his arms around my waist, hugging me. I looked to the others and their once cold gazes were filled with warmth and happiness.

This could be the chapter that finally ends this crazy story...
