Aki-Sora: Love Resigned( Red String Burns 2)

Aki-Sora:
Love Resigned

Chapter One:
The Red String Burns

Part Two


Aoi Nami had left her most beloved and prized person, Sumiya Kana, with her sleeping fraternal twin brother, Aoi Sora, to check on when her elder sister, Aoi Aki, and her friend, Kuro-Mochi Saika, would be arriving in Tokyo.  She knew that it would be up to her to explain everything to Aki-Chan about what has happened within the last eight years.  She had thought about going even further back from that point.  She knew that her sister deserved to know about all of the times that she and Kana had been with him.  And yet at this point, she knew that she did not have the right to do that to the two of them.

She was tearing up after she had hung up from speaking with Saika-chan.  It had been nearly impossible for her to believe that her once beautiful and cheerful sister had become such a diligent and somber adult woman.  The fact that she had completely broken down was unexpected, especially after all of this time.  "Kana, I'm leaving to pick them up from the train station.  Watch over him and don't do anything perverted with him."

Unlike their time during their first year of upper secondary school, she could use her true emotions for both of them rather than those that she had hidden behind.  She ran to the open elevator as she laughed, but could hear Kana's irritated rebuttal from the door to Sora's hospital room.  "Like I could think of doing THAT anymore!  You know that we ARE siblings after all!"

Just before the elevator doors' closed on her, Nami snapped back her reply.  "Like that's ever stopped our family before!  Be careful!"  Then, she was gone and heading towards the Tokyo train station to collect Aki and Saika.

She was deep within her memories and had not noticed how crowded that the train was or what time of fay that it was.  It was, only when she felt multiple rough hands across her athletic and slender body.  She cursed to herself as she felt the mixed feelings of pleasure, anger, and disgust rise within her.  It was not until the hands had been quickly removed from the bare skin beneath clothes and that she heard a bunch of barks.  She looked to see who had brought a dog upon the train.  However, it had been one of her brother's childhood friends and the one that he called his younger brother, Mihara Miharu, that had made the frightening noise.

However before she could thank him, he was the one to speak up with a tilt of his head as he remained on all four limbs.  "Why'd you let them do that, Aoi-chan?  I remember that you used to be more terrifying than this.  And would have beaten all of them into a pulp.So, why didn't you?"

"I... I don't know why.  And will you stand up for the love of..."  She blushed as she did not wish that she had been lost within her own memories to have noticed them.  However, she had to giggle as she looked at his chibi dog cosplay.  It was, of course, designed for a teenage woman as had been his costume he had, first, become Himekawa Alice's lover.  "How are you and Alice doing?  Have you learned to handle your E.D.( Erectile Dysfunction)?"

"Oh, we're terrific!  We got married about three years ago at the same church that Sumiya-chan and Sora-kun were photographed at for that wedding magazine.  It was so beautiful and I cried though mos of it.  However, my blushing bride and wife was as stoic as ever."  Mii-chan appeared to be very proud of himself.  Then, he looked around sheepishly to see if anybody was paying attention to their discussion.  They had been given a ride berth since he had frightened those molesters off of the train.  "Yes, it is been handled with medicine by  specialist in the field.  He has me on Cialis and Testerone Hormones.  They have worked wonders and she says that I am better than Aoi-kun ever had been."

"What was that? Alice-senpai and Sora-kun were having sex?  Tell me all about it."  Nami exclaimed as she grabbed Miharu and set him next her in shock.  She had forgotten about her current problems and listened to his story with complete attention.

Part Three

Sora found himself trapped with his own younger self within the rundown shack of his childhood.  It was the day that he and his sisters had been playing hide-and-seek within their hometown's junk yard.  The old man and his four dobermans had turned out to be, really, nice and to enjoy children.  It was often that they would them dinners that were made by their mother( true) in payment.

He had gone to the window as his younger self looked out at Nami and was laughing at how she could not find him.  It was during this time that he caught the glimpse of the silhouette of a tall and slender man that were standing upon a hill that overlooked the junkyard.  He could not recall ever noticing that man before.

Though the game was over with his younger self being the best hidden participant, Sora took a final glance out the small window and saw that the man had gone.  He watched the rest of the of the memory play out as he knew that it would.  However, the ending had become warped into a nightmare as his older sister had never come back to find him within the shed.  A sense of depression and anger began to blossom within him as he watched the memory fade away and the next began.

He found himself that he was back in high school at the beginning of his and Aki-nee's forbidden relationship.  This time he had become locked within the high school's gym supply storage building after having agreed to help replace the soccer equipment there.  He watched as  fell into a deep sleep with the doors open.  It was just before the first downpour of the Rainy Season begun that he saw the dark shadow of the same tall and slender man from his childhood memory.  This silhouette slid the doors closed and locked them tight.  This meant that this memory would play out as it had, but like the one from his childhood it became a warped memory as well.  He watched as the his younger self became more bitter and depressed.

He had no time to consider why these very emotional changes were happening as he had sensed them coming ever since their "Father" had taken Aki-nee away to the International School of the Sacred Heart.  They had eased within the last eight years, but would always come ever stronger at the anniversary of when the two lovers had parted ways for the final time.

The second to last altered and dark recollection was when the two of them had become lost to one another within the crowd of that year's Azabu-Juban Noryo Festival.  It was within a split second that his current version spotted the flash of a tall and slender man that was able to force his and Aki-nee's hands apart and forced him to grasp the hand of that unknown mother.  He, again, waited for her to find him and yet she had not come.  He saw that his younger self was feeling ever more isolated and depressed.

Though, the final image was of the time after "Father" was buried next to his own forbidden love.  Again, the older Sora could see the smoky man standing between the two tombstones.  He wanted to demand answers from this ghostly figure, but found that his voice was gone. And as he looked at the gathered family members, he once more found that his most beloved was gone from the scene.

As the final memory became dark, the sight of an engagement ring with a blood-red diamond set within its heart appeared in the center of his vision and began to glow with a life of its own that had faded within several moment.  It was after the ring had gone that the dark memories replayed themselves.  He had no concept of time passing as he relived these recollections, but just new that his heart ached for the woman that had become amiss from the memories.

His fists clenched the fabric of the hospital bed's sheets as he spoke her name.  As he did this the glint of a red stone could be seen from the ring finger of his left hand.  "Aki-nee..."
