“Tohma please!” Kisa cried, cradling her brother's bloody body close. With tears streaming down her face, she stared across the room. Eiri was standing there, the gun in his hand. This time he wasn't crying, he wasn't screaming. His utter calmness unnerved Kisa. Her only tangible thought was,

`How did we get here?'

 

~Two Years Earlier~

 

Kisa felt as if she could kill Tohma. Her brother had somehow managed to track her down, and had threatened to tell their parents where she was if she didn't come back to Japan. He hadn't told her why he wanted her to come back, except that there would be a big surprise when she got there. From Tohma, there was no telling what that could mean.

She hadn't seen Tohma, or Japan, in over three years. She'd kept track of her brother, of course, after the disbanding of his band, Nittle Grasper. Her brother's band had been the top band in Japan, mainly because of Ryuichi Sakuma. Kisa and Ryuichi were both in their thirties, he thirty-one, she thirty-eight, and had met through Tohma when Ryuichi was twenty-three. Tohma and Ryuichi had been friends forever, but Kisa was always all over the place and hadn't met Ryuichi, or Noriko, the other member of Nittle Grasper, until one of her rare trips home. She liked both Noriko and Ryuichi, but she didn't know how to act around them. Neither of them knew what she and Tohma had been through. Neither of then was scarred like she was.

As her plane landed in Japan, she thought about the one other person who knew what had happened that night. He was supposedly in Japan. Hopefully, he wasn't the surprise that Tohma was talking about. She couldn't face him, not now, not ever. Her relief was great when she stepped into the airport terminal only to see Tohma, and his wife Mika.

“Hello Tohma,” she said, hugging her brother.

“Kisa. How are you?”

“Fine Tohma. Why did you hunt me down? Why am I here?”

Tohma didn't show the slightest reaction, but merely smiled.

“I told you, there's a surprise.”

“What kind of surprise?” she asked, curious in spite of herself.

His smile widened,

“You'll see. Just come here tomorrow. I'll call you to tell you what time.” he said, handing her a slip of paper with an address.

“Tohma,” she groaned as he turned to walk away.

“You know I hate it when you get cryptic.”

“You'll like this. I promise you.” He answered walking away with Mika.

“Bastard” Kisa growled.

 

The next day, Kisa found herself at a television studio watching her brother, Noriko, and Ryuichi Sakuma performing the song “sleepless beauty” as Nittle Grasper. She guessed that this was the surprise. She was happy for her brother. He loved being part of Nittle Grasper, he had even named his record company, NG Productions, after the band's name. At the moment though, all of Kisa's attention was focused on Ryuichi. Something was different about him, she couldn't seem to take her eyes off of him.
