‘It’s time I settled this once and for all…’ This thought was the only thing racing through Soubi’s mind as he and Yamato approached the Aoyagi household. When they arrived at the small gate in front of the house Soubi stopped rather abruptly, causing Yamato to run into him.

“Hey! Why did you stop?!”

“It’s best if you wait here.”

“Uh…yeah…ok Soubi.” Yamato could tell by the cold harsh tone in his voice that he was very serious and she did not want to be on the receiving end of that man’s anger ever again; so she plopped down on the curb very obediently, peering over her shoulder only once to see Soubi slip into the house.

‘He didn’t even knock…how rude.’ Sitting on the curb in the quite suburb, Yamato was left alone with only her thoughts.

‘I really hope Ritsuka is ok, even Kouya is starting to get worried about him….Hmm, I wonder what is taking Soubi so long.”

As soon as that thought ran across her mind, she heard a loud crashing sound from the house behind her. She immediately sprang up and ran toward the house, scared to death of what could be happening in there. When she shoved open the door, her fears were realized. There was broken glass shattered all over the entry way, it looked like it might have been from a vase or something similar. Her gaze was then quickly shifted to Soubi, his face had a small cut across his cheek and he had Ritsuka’s mother pinned against the wall by her shoulders.

“This is all your fault! All you have ever done is hurt him and make him hate himself! Your blame him for all the problems that you created! “  Yamato, still frozen in fear in the doorway, could see small tears streaming down Soubi’s face.

“After Seimei died you were all he had! You’re his mother! You’re supposed to protect him!”

“…My son is dead…” These were the only words that came from the small woman’s lips, more whispered, as if she were in mourning.

“HOW CAN YOU STILL THINK THAT?!” Yamato finally unfroze as she saw Soubi’s hands quickly move from the woman’s shoulders to her throat.

“Soubi! Stop! This won’t help you find Ritsuka! This won’t help anything!” To her surprise, her words seemed to actually get through to him. He released his grip and Ritsuka’s mother fell to her knees on the floor, and she just stared blankly at the floor as if her mind wasn’t even there anymore.

“You’re right. She will never change. She is completely gone now.” He said in an icy voice without ever breaking eye contact with the women crumpled on the floor. He then turned and headed back to the door.

“Come on Yamato, we have to find Ritsuka.” Without another word, the two left the house and headed back down the street. Soubi was walking much slower now, very deep in thought, his held low with his long hair shrouding the tears that were still streaming down his face.

“Soubi…your face…are you ok? Did she hurt you?”

“I’m fine.” Soubi’s voice sounded very detached now. “Let’s go check the park.”

“Ok.”

Yamato was really starting to get worried about Soubi; he really wasn’t acting like his usual calm and quite self. As she was trying desperately to put together all the pieces of this mess in her head, she was starting think she got herself into way more than she thought.
