Chapter 17

"Well what was he so angry for that he had to take it out on her?" He asked. I assumed he was frowning due to the tone of his voice.

"Remember the time he saved you from that dark room that Akito had put you in?" Haru asked in a soft voice.

Why would he reminisce on the past? That had nothing to do with it. All I did was save him because I couldn't see him hurt.

"Yeah what of it?" He asked confusion leaking through his voice.

"He didn't want to see you hurt back then." Haru reminded him. His voice was soft as if he was the one hurting.

"Seems like he changed. Looked like he wanted to punch me." He said seriously. As bad as I wanted to turn around to see what was going on I held back. It'd give us away.

"That's because of you." He whispered so quiet that if we weren't vampires we would've missed it.

"Why? What did I do?" Momiji asked confused. I imagined him crossing his arms. He did that sometimes. And it always looked so cute.

"Did you forget about him?" Haru asked in an accusing voice. I looked down. Waiting. The anticipation was killing me. This is what I have been waiting for this whole time.

"No I haven't. I recognized him soon as I saw him. He hasn't changed at all." Momiji replied. He seemed confused. He totally missed the point.

I rolled my eyes at his stupidity. Sometimes he was so cute and innocent yet others show his maturity.

"That's not what I meant. Did you forget what happened between you two? " Haru asked once more.

Was he trying to get him to remember. This isn't how I wanted him to remember things. I preferred he do it by himself. On his own terms. Not forced to by someone else.

This way would only make him feel guilty. If he never remembered it meant it wasn't meant to be. If he did meant he was meant to be mine.

Before Haru could get another word out I suddenly appeared silently behind momiji and glared.

Haru finally got the point and dropped the subject. However Kyo didn't. He looked to me and frowned making it known to me he wanted to talk. I gestured to follow me and disappeared  in the distance.

But stayed close enough to my brothers and Haru. I had to make sure that idiot didn't say anything more. I was glad that momiji's innocent naive side had kicked in because he didn't catch on.

He was pondering over his thoughts. I'm assuming he was remembering what happened between us but it wasn't kicking in. He was too naive and young mentally back then. I was glad for once.

When kyo finally caught up I nodded to my brothers to listen in. Kyo couldn't see them but they could hear and see me, Haru and Momiji.

"What was that?" Kyo asked sitting down at a table hidden from sight of the other Sohmas.

"Which part?" I huffed in annoyance. A lot of things happened back there. I couldn't tell what part he wanted to know about.

"All of it. You can start from the filthy blood." He said seriously crossing his arms.

"My father and my mother were cousins. When they got married. She was the third wife. As you can see I'm the youngest son." I replied looking down. "In your world cousins marrying cousins might be ok but it is looked down upon by everyone else."

"So you're like the black sheep huh?" He asked. Well it was more like a statement. I looked up at him to see him looking at me with a look of remorse.

"No. My father loves all of his children. And none of my family treat me as such. The only one who called me that was my mother. She realized what had happened between them and went insane. Calling me a filthy son." I answered staring at him seriously. I was watching him closely. I wanted to see his reaction. "That only happened half the time. The other half she said I was a kind child."

"Hmm... so you weren't shunned?" He asked face frowning with confusion. I shook my head. "Why?"

"Simple. Why would my father have three wives?" I replied back. "He loves his children equally. No matter how you look at it."

"What about your brothers?" He asked seriously.

"No. As you can see my brothers and I stick together as one. We take care of eachother. No matter how we act." I answered. I knew this. We may fight amongst ourselves but we did take care of eachother.

"What about that fight with momiji? I thought you cared for him?" He asked changing the subject. He must’ve been satisfied.

I shook my head. "He forgot about me. It hurt. I got angry that he forgot. It's as simple as that."

"Were you going to hit him?" He asked tone darkening.

"No. As much as I wanted to I still wouldn't be able to hurt him. Just scare him. Although that seems to be the only thing he remembers. That I won't hurt him." I frowned frustrated. "But that's the only thing."

"So why won't you let Haru make him remember? You know if it hurts you so much." He asked face softening. He must've been through this. That's why he can relate so good.

"If he's forced to remember, he'll come out of guilt." I started. He seemed to catch on because he finished my sentence for me. It was too hard for me to.

"So if he remembers on his own he'll either come because he wants to or he wont." He said slowly in realization. I nodded slowly. "What if he came to you without remembering anything? "

"If he wants me he'll come by himself. It's as simple as that." I said softly. If he wasn't so close he would've missed it.

"What if he overheard?" He asked with a frown. I shook my head immediately and looked back up to him.

"He wont. My brothers are watching." I nodded in there direction. Kyo looked over but couldn't see them. " Besides I can still hear their conversation. And it seems like little momiji is still too naive."

"Hmm... well I gotta get back."  Kyo said standing up. "They'll get suspicious." He nodded over his shoulder quickly.

"Don't say anything. Remember you can't see us but we can still see you." I threatened. It only made him chuckle.

"I wont do that. I'm not that cruel. Beside it'll only be yuki or Haru and they can keep secrets. Trust me." He said with a chuckle. Taking off with his hands in his pockets he seemed satisfied.

"Tch. Stupid mortal don't make me regret telling you." I whispered to myself knowing full well my brothers heard.

*Later that day*

"Come on Subaru.  Its your last day before break." I heard Ayato called waking me from my slumber.

I growled out in irritation. Man I hated to be woken up but he was right. If I didnt hurry I was going to be late for my night class.

"Glad I'll be going for one more day." I mumbled to myself as I got on my old school uniform. Yeah it may be the same school but our uniforms were different. We had our uniforms the same from our previous school.

Father just opened another school. One that happened to be in the middle of a human town. Half of the town liked us supernatural creatures. The other half feared us and stayed away.

I preferred the ones that feared us. Although the fans did have some perks. It meant I could try and make momiji jealous. Although that was a long shot.
