"Take care... of them"
Those were the last words Hikaru Inoue heard from his mother, she had given birth to a daughter and was dying of blood loss, not soon after... his sister died as well. Those two deaths, were too much for his father.
Hikaru and his younger brother Kotaru got send to the mountains to live with their grandparents, they always hoped their father would return one day to take them home.. that never happened.
Hikaru was always a curious little child, he would play high up in the mountains that was surrounded by trees, beautiful animals and the waterfall at the lake. He had his own treehouse, you would think he would play with his younger brother but he couldn't... Kotaru was very ill as a child and always had to stay inside.
This caused Hikaru to cause all sorts of trouble, pranks, just anything to get the attention of his grandparents, but he never got it.. they were too busy with Kotaru.
"IT'S NOT FAIR!!"
One day Hikaru went deep into the forest, his grandparents forbid it, but he wouldn't listen. There he found a cave, going inside he ended up in a big city, it was a portal between the human world and that of the vampire's
"Who are you?"
A boy with beautiful white long hair asked him. They became friends, they always meet each other at the gates of the portal and play in each other's worlds. They fall in love... until the boy didn't show up anymore.
Hikaru's first heartbreak
Four years later, on his eighteenth birthday he went into the forest, he was at his old treehouse. He heard a voice of a small girl.
"Brother..."
"Find me..."
The voice sounded so close and with instincts Hikaru ran after the voice
"Wait! Where are you?!"
After running for half an hour he fell down on his knees panting. The wind blew in his raven hair.
"Who are you?"
"You're different from what I expected," she said softly.
"How so?" he asked, glancing at her.
"I don't know," she replied, searching for the right words. "You just... have this way of making people feel like they matter. Even here, in this... nightmare."
He was quiet for a moment before responding. "You matter, Y/n. Don't forget that."
