Introduction
Hello everyone, it's Kagome-chan again here to personally bring you the eleventh chapter. Er, when I was typing this I didn't realize how short it was until I started to upload it O_o". But that means the twelfth will be coming out sooner.
Um, a few people I've talked to I told them that I was thinking about leaving Gaia permanately and discontinuing Sakura. Well, this has been sorted out and thanks to all the fans, friends, and a certain special Gaia who made me realize how stupid I was really acting ((You all did, >_> really. But I guess he really kicked me a** mentally)) and it is decided. Kagome-chan is staying!
Okies, since my intro's are usually as long as the stories, I'm going to stop stalling you. Oh, and look out for some of my other material I'm working on that will be released later on 3nodding !
Chapter Eleven- Explain Yourself! The Takashima Secret Revealed
“Why does it matter that Fuma doesn’t smell like me, Yuji? Does it matter? It can’t be that bad…can it?” Yuna asked him worried as the two had a stare down. “Because Yuna,” Yuji started through gritted teeth. “He’s not your brother.” Yuna was shocked as the color drained from her face. “W-What are you talking about, Yuji? How can he not be my brother? If he’s not Fuma Takashima- then who is he?” she asked alarmed.
“He might be your brother- but not biologically. You have different scents from each other- meaning Fuma was probably adopted. But that doesn’t really explain why he was away from home for as long as he was.” Yuji explained. “I think you’ve kept it from her long enough, Fuma. Tell her what you’ve been doing this whole time.”
Fuma looked down with a sigh. “Looks like she’s old enough to know now…” he muttered, “Yuna- I’m not your real brother. I was actually adopted when Yuuri was three and before you were born. I was five.” He told her softly. Yuna only covered her mouth in horror and sat down.
“Your father- he was a terrible man. He deceived your mother and forced her to have children. My guess is he beat her as well. When he found out she was too ill to have anymore children, and that you were girls he was enraged and adopted me. When Yuuri found out what happened- like you she detested him, and left the family. I haven’t seen her since. But you- since you’re basically the only daughter here you have no choice but to be forced into an engagement. Father said that he’d disown you if you went against his wishes.”
“So either way, I’m stuck.” Yuna said softly as the tears fell onto her lap. Fuma put a hand on her shoulder. “You’re not. If he sees that you two are together and are to be married he might reconsider the engagement to Subaru. He’s in darkness right now, Yuna. You know this more than anyone.” He kissed her forehead. “I suppose I should go now. Yuji, make sure you take care of Yuna while I’m gone. Even though I’m not her blood relative I’m still her brother. And if you hurt her I’ll make sure your life is a living hell.”
Yuji grinned. “You can count on me. I’ll make sure Yuna isn’t lonely anymore.” Fuma nodded at him. “Than it’s a promise,”
When the rain cleared up the two saw Fuma off. He embraced her one last time, and whispered something she didn’t quite understand. “I love you with all my heart Yuna- but I might not be able to protect you anymore. Everything will unfold very soon. Some of the things you won’t understand- but you must live on; for the sake of all of us.”
“What- but I don’t understand Fuma,” Yuna said puzzled at his words. He only smiled. “You’re still hard-headed, you know that Yuna?” he told her as her put her in a headlock. She laughed. “I got it from you, Aniki.”
Yuji smiled at the two siblings and found himself wondering if their relationship was anything like his and Reina’s. “Aniki, when will you be back? You’ll visit us sometimes won’t you?” she asked him when he pulled her out of the headlock. Fuma thought for a minute. “I’m not sure, but I know that it’ll be soon and more often.” He answered. This made her smile. She held out a pinkie. “Then it’s a promise to me and Yuji.”
He couldn’t help but give a small smile and linked his with hers. She hadn’t changed at all since they were little. “Agreed,”
As he walked away Yuna waved and shouted, “Goodbye Aniki! Come back soon!” Yuji could only smirk and give a small nod. Fuma returned it and disappeared from site.
“Fuma- he’s alright.” Yuji muttered to himself. Yuna only looked at him puzzled. “What did you say Yuji?” “Err, it’s nothing.”
And the two went inside.

Fuma watched the two walk inside the large estate from the gates before someone behind him spoke. “You can’t let go, can you?” it was a woman’s voice. He gave a sad smile. “But I suppose I should. She’s no longer my little sister anymore.”
“Are you sure you should leave her in the hands of another man? That boy of all people?” she asked him from the shadows. “I have faith in that boy. The look they shared showed it.” He answered. “. . .And if they do not?”
“Then the world will fall into darkness.” He told her before he too disappeared into darkness.
