Miss Maid

Namikaze Ryuuga

"Come, now we go!!"

"Hn. Where's where?"

"Game center! Come on, hurry, Ryuu!" Izumi pulled Ryuuga's hand quickly until Ryuuga was a little overwhelmed following her steps.

"Hn, be patient! The place won't run away even if you're slow." Ketus Ryuuga and managed to make Izumi cryguesan because it is not tasty has forced Ryuuga.

"Hihi gomen ne, Ryuu."

15 Minutes later

They have reached their destination, the game center. Ryuuga was initially surprised but he soon remembered that since childhood, Izumi did like many things that are commonly done by men except smoking, one of which is playing games. This time, Izumi seemed unable to hold back her joy of setting foot in her paradise of game fans. Izumi had pulled him everywhere, starting from playing car racing games. "Huwa, come on Ryuu!!!!"

"Hn"

Every now and then Ryuuga noticed how happy the girl beside him was, his smile and laughter seemed so sincere and unknowingly, he smiled as well. Spending time with the girl he liked long ago, let alone the girl who invited him first, sounded simple but it was able to make his heart happy. They spend a lot of time in the game center and play almost all the games available until night.

"That was so much fun, Ryuu!" Izumi exclaimed cheerfully, she took a sip of soda on the can and then patted Ryuuga on the shoulder, "Arigatou ne!!"

"Hn? What's for?"

"When I went to college, I was very busy with various tasks and thesis work, I didn't have time to refresh. I was always monitored by my mother, I could do nothing but discipline myself." Izumi looked down, it seemed like the burden she was carrying was also quite heavy considering she was the only daughter in her family, it was definitely him who would take over the company of his parents and the possibility to choose his own path was very slim, Ryuuga understood that very well. "But, even though I forced you to go play with me, it helped me a lot. Thanks though. You still want to come with me even if I insist. Thank you, Ryuu." Izumi smiled and this time her smile was different, as if the burden could not be separated.

"Hn. You're not what you used to be." Ryuuga

"Eh? Meanin? You're this!" Izumi hit Ryuuga's arm hard enough that Ryuuga was shaking. "You must have not seen me in a long time, so you don't know what the other me is!" His grunt.

"Ittai, can you please not be light-handed? Focus on."

"You made me do it yourself!"

"Hn, who do you think wants to be hit, eh? You're brutal."

"What did you say?!"

Then they shut up and looked at each other. A few seconds later, they laugh ah ralat more precisely only Izumi who laughed and Ryuuga just showed a smile that looks real than usual.

"Demo ne, arigatou. You saved me. Ah yes, how's your life?"

"Hn, what kind of question is that? Not good to hear."

"Sih sucks!" Izumi grinned annoyedly and said "Hey, I'm going to ask you. What about your life as a teenager?"

"Hn. It's just normal."

"It must be so much fun, yes, you're so popular. A lot of people like you, I think your life is really good. Very lucky huh.." muttered the girl while looking straight ahead. Ryuuga just silently stared at the sweet face of the girl next to him, it felt a little offended or humiliated? I don't know.

'If only you knew, I hated my life so much, the Namikaze clan and lived to be Ryuuga. It feels like a curse.'

If only you knew..

"Yumuu!!"

It appeared that a brownish-black-haired boy with dark irises who was crouching under a tree while drawing on a tree trunk turned to the source of the voice, an older man on his appeal was waving his hand.

"Ryuu, what are you doing? Why are you playing here?" Asked the 10-year-old boy, he crouched down while looking at the picture of his sister.

"Onii-san, can't we go out...?" Asked the 4-year-old boy timidly, like asking a taboo question.

"Eh? Gonzalez, Ryuu. I don't think so today, remember? Kaa-san asks us to stay quiet at home until she gets home."

"Young-san? Is he going home?" Asked the boy so excitedly that he made his brother laugh and nodded. "But kaa-san and tou-san can go home?" Suddenly his face turned sad, both of his eyebrows dropped then lowered their heads.

"Surely, this is their home. You just don't see it, kaa-san and tou-san have been home since last night. You just don't realize because every time they both come home, you're either asleep or you're up late." Reiji said with a smile, "Oh yes, kaa-san also said that she will give you a gift" he said.

"Hontou ni?!"

"Hontou desu Yo!!"

"Excuse me, Reiji-sama, Ryuuga-sama.. Now it's time for you two to take a bath because Mr and Mrs Namikaze will be home soon." Nanami said which made them surprised and looked back.

"Nonami.." Ryuuga immediately approached Nanami and spread out his hands. Understanding the code from Ryuuga, Nanami immediately lowered her body and held the little Ryuuga in her arms.

"Come here, Reiji-sama, let's go inside." Next to Nanami's hand was stretched out to hold the hand of the Namikaze family's eldest son. Reiji smiles and welcomes Nanami's hand and they enter the house.

My life before meeting you felt like an endless nightmare....

"Okaerinasai, Otou-san, Okaa-san.." greeted Reiji while bowing, Ryuuga just followed the older brother's movements.

"Tadaima, Reiji-kun, Ryuuga-kun~" replied his mother, Namikaze Sasaki. Then Ryuuga looked up to look at the faces of his parents, Ryuuga himself just remembered what the faces of his biological parents. Sasaki crouched down in front of her two sons and stroked the heads of the two of them gently, her smile so warm. For some reason, even when the mother was right in front of him like there was a dividing wall between the two. "Ryuu-kun, you've grown taller ya~ I think, nii-chan will also lose to you haha.." said the mother, Reiji joined in laughing but other things with Ryuuga. He kept silent and looked at his mother's face carefully. "Eh? Doushita, Ryuuga?" Ask Sasaki.

"There's no time to chat anymore, Sasaki. We need to get ready." His father's baritone voice broke the silence between his wife and youngest son. The towering, dignified and charismatic man looked at his two sons and stopped at Reiji. "Reiji, come with me." The father stepped into the mansion and was followed by Reiji. Ryuuga and Sasaki looked at the two who were starting to move away, but the next second Sasaki immediately stood up and followed her husband in a hasty step, leaving Ryuuga standing alone in front of the mansion door. The boy fell silent, there were many thoughts raging in his brain.

Then, Ryuuga entered the room, looking for the figure of his older brother and his ears heard something from the direction of the reading room. The door opened slightly so that the sound became clear. He peered inside and saw the tension between Reiji, his father, and his anxious mother. Ryuuga decided to eavesdrop on the conversation from behind the door leaf.

".... But Otou-san, can I take my own path?"

Plaaac

A loud slap sound was clearly heard. Ryuuga's eyes were rounded and he was shocked at the incident, while Reiji was similarly shocked but his expression remained ordinary as if the slap was nothing. While the mother tried to hold her husband's shoulder but it was useless.

"You're going to take over Dad's company! There is no time for you to think about anything else. From tomorrow you'll learn anything about this company." Fuuga's tone rose, indicating how distasteful he was at his eldest son's question.

"But Tou-san, Ryuu mung—"

"I don't need it!"

Suddenly the atmosphere became very quiet. Everyone is shocked. Little Ryuuga who heard his father's statement could only be silent, he could not possibly do anything, his heart ached. Like there were thousands of needles piercing his heart. Is he an unwanted child? What was he born for? That question was lodged in Ryuuga's small brain at the moment.

"Darling, what are you saying...?" Sasaki was also surprised by her husband's words, she knew her husband was in a bad mood, but..

"Reiji, you're my son. You're old enough to start learning everything. I don't accept rejection in any form." Fuuga said very firmly. How else, nothing can be negotiated anymore. Whatever came out of the mouth of the head of the family was absolute, both for him and anyone inside the mansion.

"Hi' Otou-sama, wakatta desu." Reply Reiji while smiling as usual, he bowed respectfully in front of his parents. "Then I'll go back to my room to get ready" The reddish marks on her cheeks were gone, everything she felt was unimportant. Now all he thought about was his father's business. Reiji got up from where he stood and walked out. Ryuuga hurriedly hid behind the large urn that was near the door of the reading room. He peeked again, he saw the back of the brother who began to move away. How can I help my sister get out of her father's chain? He doesn't know.

Ryuuga catches up with his brother from afar, he keeps his eyes on the brother's back which still looks fine after getting a hard slap and a shackle that requires him to follow their father's wishes. Ryuuga feels that Reiji is making a further bond from his father, as evidenced by the suffix he pinned behind the call to Fuuga. Suffix "-sama" is usually used to call a boss, boss, or anything of higher status.

"Oni-san!! Onii-san!!" Call Ryuuga, he ran after Reiji. "Oni-san, matte!!" His hand seemed to be trying to catch his brother who kept walking without turning around. "Oni-san!" Finally Ryuuga can reach Reiji's hand until the owner gasps.

"O-oh, Ryuu. What's up?" Reiji still had a cheerful smile as usual, he did not know if Ryuuga already knew the incident where he lost some of his future that he wanted.

"Onii-san, I've called you daritadi. Why don't you stop?" Ryuuga grumbled as he puffed his right cheek, the rosy cheek making Reiji anxious and finally Reiji ruffled Ryuuga's hair.

"Gomen, I don't hear you. Why did you call me?" Reiji asked still with his fake smile.

"Onii-san, let's play with me. Yesterday you promised me you'd take me away." Whine Ryuuga spoiled while shaking Reiji's hand that he held.

"Eh? But it doesn't seem to be able to. Gomen ne, today we will have the arrival of Otou-sama's guest, so we should also welcome him."

"But onii-san—"

"Ryuu, next time. Come on, now you also have to prepare, ask Nanami to help you."

Reiji left just like that, Reiji's blank stare couldn't fool Ryuuga. Nanami then came and took him away to the room. Nanami looked painstakingly replacing Ryuuga clothes and styled her hair very neatly but the woman was a little surprised because from then on her young master was just silent not as neat as usual. The little boy looked down, his eyes already glazed over. "Ryuuga-sama? What was? Why do you look sad?"

"C, Nanami. Do my parents love me?" Little Ryuuga's question made Nanami gasp in shock.

"Why did Ryuuga-sama ask that? Surely they love you and Reiji-sama, you two are everything and the most precious of all they have." Nanami replied with a gentle smile, her delicate hand rubbing the top of Ryuuga's head gently but seemingly unable to remove something in Namikaze's youngest mind. "Ryuuga-sama?"

"..... But tou-san only needs nii-san." Ryuuga lowered his head, both of his hands clenched. "Am I and nii-san not supposed to have goals? Don't they think we're just a tool for success? Lalu—"

"Ryuuga-sama, you should not think that way to your parents. Ne, Ryuuga-sama.if Fuuga-sama says that Reiji-sama and you should be his successors in business, that means he believes in the ability of both of you. You're his son, so who else would he trust his companies for? Neither Reiji-sama nor Ryuuga-sama, you guys are very intelligent, so it is no wonder that Fuuga-sama wants that." Nanami pulls Ryuuga's body into her warm embrace, hoping that Ryuuga doesn't get caught deeper by her troubled mind.

"Sou.ka..." Slowly flowed

"All right, then let's go. Surely Reiji-sama has been waiting for you outside." Nanami held the tiny hand out of her room.

The afternoon was replaced by the night. Now the Namikaze family is gathering in the living room, getting ready to welcome guests who will be coming to the banquet with business partner Fuuga in an hour. Reiji and Ryuuga joked while waiting for time, they laughed and mocked each other, a shady sight for anyone who saw.

"Reiji." Call Fuuga. Just by hearing the firm voice of the man, the two men silently stared as if afraid that once they opened their mouths they would receive bad things from their father.

"H-hai' Otou-sama, what's wrong?" Reiji asked with a smile even though the trembling voice restrained the fear that plagued him.

"Prepare to meet my guests. We'll be in the living room soon."

Again, only Reiji was noticed by Fuuga. Yes, Ryuuga is also a human who can feel envy even though he actually does not need to feel it for something unpleasant like this. But, he was still too small to control all sorts of feelings raging in his heart. Just once, he wanted to be called and noticed by his own father but couldn't seem to.

"Ryuuga baby, you're coming with kaa-san huh? There's something you want to show me." Said the mother with a big smile, she patted the little shoulder of her son as if the woman was about to comfort him.

"All right." Ryuuga replied briefly. How else would you like? What can he do but obey the orders of his parents? Then a second later he felt like he wanted to get the attention of his father. "Otou-san, then what should I do?" Little Ryuuga asked with courage, he looked at the sharp eyes of his father.

"none. It'd be better if you just stayed in your room." Fuuga answered briefly, concisely, and clearly.

An hour has passed, now the front page of the spacious Namikaze family mansion has been filled with so many expensive luxury cars of various types and brands. Lots of guests who came, not a few of them who brought their children whose age is not much different from Reiji and Ryuuga. Ryuuga can only see everything from behind the curtains of his room, like someone who has been isolated from the outside world, he wonders in his heart whether he will bring negative impact if he comes out to greet guests, that'sthat's all.

"Nanami," called her to the faithful woman standing behind her, accompanied her, and gave her the attention of a mother.

"Hai' Ryuuga-sama, you need something?" Nanami asked with a smile

"I.. can I get out of the room?" The boy asked doubtfully, a voice so soft, it could hardly be heard clearly.

"Ano, Ryuuga-sama, but Sasaki-sama hasn't come here yet."

"Why indeed? I want to get out of here. I won't go or peek at the living room, I won't interfere with Otou-san and Okaa-san's business."

"But Ryuuga-sama..."

The door of Ryuuga's room opened and gradually began to reveal the figure of a graceful woman who had been awaited by Ryuuga. The lady stepped elegantly towards her youngest son while putting on her best smile but Ryuuga looked at it as a fake smile and had no feelings for him, that smile was just a formality, she said, the woman just wanted to deceive her. That's what little Ryuuga concluded. His eyes narrowed in dislike. Even Ryuuga was actually uncomfortable with the sound coming out of his own mother's mouth.

"Ryuuga-kun, gomen ne made you wait for long~" the woman crouched down and hugged her son's tiny body with gentleness. "Are you sleepy?" Ask her attentively.

"I'm not a baby anymore, kaa-san." Ryuuga's chirps without further ado, making Sasaki and Nanami gasp in shock.

"S-souka? But it's night, don't you want to sleep?"

"Why should I sleep? Okaa-san, what gift do you want to give me?" Ryuuga asked with to the point.

"Kaa-san is glad you want to wait~" Sasaki's eyes sparkled with pleasure, he hugged Ryuuga again, "Wait a minute, yeah." Then Sasaki took something out of her thick branded wallet. "Tada~!!" Sasaki thrust out a black card that only certain people had in front of Ryuuga's face. Of course the boy was confused, how could a 4-year-old little boy understand such things? All he knew was toys for kids his age.

"What's this?" Ryuuga did not take it straight away, he just looked at her in astonishment.

"It's a gift for you because you've become an understanding child~" Sasaki pulled Ryuuga's hand and placed the card into her tiny hand. "You can use this to buy anything." Sasaki clearly smiled broadly.

"Anything?" Repeat Ryuuga with a different face than before. The eyes glowed, as if they were having a great hope.

"Yes, whatever you want." Mashable

"Then, can I buy tou-san and kaa-san?" Ryuuga's little question made the two women who were there freeze, no one making a sound or move. "I want to buy it so that I can spend time with you guys, I want to play with both of you and onii-san. Can I do it? I want you guys to have time to see my growth, I just want that. Can I buy it?" Sasaki's lips were tightly clenched, his tongue was twisted. Somehow he made a sound or answered his little son's question. Nanami who was standing not far from her master also lowered her head, her eyebrows dropped, her lips curved down indicating that she was also grieving and pitying the youngest.

"Ryuu-kun... Time can't be bought, baby." Sasaki said with a forced smile.

"But kaa-san said I could buy anything with this card."

"Yes, you're right but not for time. Honey, listen to kaa-san... Kaa-san is very sorry to have to say this but.the two of us can't keep you company all the time. Forgive us for being so busy with our work that we can't watch you grow and develop, forgive us..." Sasaki was unable to hold back her tears anymore, now her smooth cheeks had been flooded by the tears she had endured with great effort. Heart hurts.

"Then I don't want this card. Let me have you both completely."

"I'm sorry, baby..."

"Why would you give this to me if I couldn't get what I really wanted with this gift? Can I exchange it for your love? Kaa-san, answer me correctly. I don't want your apologies." Little Ryuuga was trying to find a way to free his heart from the burden that he had long been deep in.

"....But, kaa-san can't give you the answer you want.." Sasaki covered her mouth with her palm, she was no longer able to look straight at the eyes of her youngest son, at the same time, Sasaki felt sad with all the expressions of her baby.

"Am I not your real son? If I was your biological son then you would notice me, just like tou-san admitted onii-san."

Plaaac

A loud slap landed smoothly on the boy's roaring cheek. Seeming redder after Sasaki slapped him, even the perpetrator seemed surprised by his reflexes. "Why are you saying such a ridiculous thing?! Of course you're my biological son, I gave birth to you." Sasaki's tone slightly raised. But Ryuuga did not react after getting a hard slap from a woman who was famous for her elegance.

"I just asked and kaa-san just needs to answer, right?"

"I've answered it for you, Ryuuga."

"Why was I born if you two didn't need me? You guys just took me into endless nightmares."

"Darling, what happened to you?! We both love you so much, you were born to complete the happiness of this family."

"What kind of happiness are you talking about? Please tell me, Otou-san doesn't acknowledge me, he only sees Reiji nii-san."

"Ryuuga, your father didn't mean it that way. He said it because Reiji was your brother and Reiji was already bigger than you, so your father felt that Reiji was capable, not that he didn't consider you dear."

"really? But it seems like Otou-san only made his son a tool. Did Otou-san ever ask what we wanted? No."

Nanami herself was amazed by the debate between mother and child because Ryuuga was able to debate things that should be a child her age did not understand something until that deep, so deep, the forerunner of genius had appeared to him from an early age. Even he had overwhelmed his mother to answer all the questions posed by the handsome boy.

"Huh.had it, kaa-san is tired." Sasaki held her head while twitching her forehead, she turned her back to her son "Nanami, can you help another maid first?"

"Hi' wakatta desu Sasaki-sama." Nanami bowed respectfully, then followed her master's steps out of Ryuuga's room.

Before completely disappearing from the door, Sasaki again looked at his youngest son who was still silent on the spot with a flat expression and blank stare. It looks like a puppet. "You stay here. Never get out of the room if no one has asked you to come out." He then closed the door of the room and locked the door from the outside.

Ryuuga did not budge, he looked down at the card that would spoil him even more. The boy walked over to the desk drawer next to his bed, took a spare key to his bedroom door. "I want to see onii-san. I have to make sure it's okay." He muttered and opened the door slowly so that no one would notice. After that he walked quickly while on his tiptoes so as not to cause a loud noise because of some servants who went around.

After reaching the lower floor, he peeked at the state of the living room which was very crowded like a market. Not infrequently some of the children of his father and mother's coworkers who ran around the table. His eyes scoured the entire room and scanned everyone closely only to find the figure of his dear sister and finally he found the figure of his brother who was talking to a girl whose age was not far away different with. Ryuuga's dark eyes continue to look from afar, it seems like his brother will not be too burdened because he already has a very familiar friend. Suddenly there was a hand holding Ryuuga's shoulder to make him jump in shock, he looked back timidly. "Ryuuga-sama, what are you doing here?" Nanami asked in a whispering voice. Ryuuga immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he found out that the one who caught him running away was Nanami. "Come, come. Don't let Fuuga-sama see you or you'll be in big trouble." Nanami drags Ryuuga's hand away from the living room to save his master from his father's rampage.

Nanami and Ryuuga were already in the kitchen. The lady in maid uniform squatted to equalize her height with Ryuuga. "So, what are you doing outside?" Ask Nanami.

"I just want to see Onii-san. Nanami please don't take me back to the room." Pinta Ryuuga with a clear face and made the maid feel unbearable.

"Matshita, Ryuuga-sama. But you can't stay here or Sasaki-sama will see you and lock you back up."

"I'm going to the back garden."

"Eh? Whahuh? There is minimal lighting, Ryuuga-sama. Dangerous."

"No. Isn't Yamato there? I'll see it."

"S-I'm delivering..."

Finally they both sneak around like a thief to go to the park secretly so that Ryuuga's parents don't see him. After arriving, it turns out that Ryuuga's guess is correct. Yamato the gardener was planting a new plant in a medium-sized flower pot under the light of the garden. The man seemed to enjoy his activities so much that he did not realize the appearance of two humans behind him. "Is planting flowers so much fun, Yamato?" Ryuuga's voice made the man jump in shock. He fell down while holding his chest.

"Ryuuga-sama?! W-what are you doing here these nights?" Yamato allowed his slanted hat to sit cross-legged on the clean grass he cared for every day.

"I want to feel the night air." Ryuuga replied briefly then he looked up to look at Nanami's face, "You go back inside before kaa-san realizes your absence."

"I understand, Ryuuga-sama. Then excuse me." Nanami bowed respectfully and then returned inside, leaving the two men of different ages both accompanied by a dark night.

Ryuuga was about to crouch down but Yamato immediately restrained the two shoulders of the boy hurriedly. "W-what are you doing?! Don't sit here or your clothes will get dirty. Let's sit in that chair, I'll accompany you.

"Iie da's. I want to see you plant that flower."

*Did not want

"Eh? Haha tumben once, young master wants to see me." The Namikaze family gardener joked, he scratched the back of his non-itchy head while giving a whimper of its width.

"I said I wanted to see you plant the flowers. I'm not interested in seeing a shitty guy like you." Ryuuga said as he looked at Yamato lazily. "Why are you so happy when you're just planting flowers?" Ryuuga asked with her innocent look.

"You want to know? Then give me a warm hug~" Yamato spread out his hands first and then put on a happy face that made little Ryuuga think that this man was someone who was not right.

"I don't want to and I never will." Reject Ryuuga hard line.

"Pfft well, I understand~" Yamato laughed as he held his stomach, he again busied himself with his daily activities "You know not? Why am I so happy gardening?"

"No"

"Because of this I can feel how comfortable it is to be close to nature, I consider these plants that I grow are my children that I have to take care of and I take care of until they all grow up. Once they're big, won't they look so pretty?" Clearly Yamato while smiling sincerely like a parent.

"Souka's? But I'm too small to have a child." Said little Ryuuga with his innocence and made laughter sound clear. "What's wrong?" Asked the boy while plucking out a long grass beside the rose that Yamato was planting.

"No, no. Let's just sit there, if you keep going downstairs then it'll dirty your clothes." Yamato took off his gloves and held the tiny hands of young master Namikaze.

After Yamato sat Ryuuga in the garden chair, the man caught Ryuuga's changed facial expression. "Ryuuga-sama? What the hell's going on? You look sad.."

"ye, Yamato. Do you have any siblings?" Ryuuga asked as he looked up at Yamato face.

"Hm? I have a sister, but she is not a sibling. He is my parents' adopted son. What's up?"

To bear the Namikaze clan is not easy. Although it sounds simple, but with that clan, all things can change out of line. For Ryuuga, he is just a boy who will grow up well but he also regretted why he had to bear the status of the youngest son of a Namikaze Fuuga. The boy thought how could he possibly survive like this? Only accompanied by abundant wealth without the warmth of a family.

"Did you spend a lot of time with her?"

"of course. Neither me nor my foster sister, we both know that we have no blood ties but that does not diminish our affection. Ah, even when mom gives us a nag, it feels good to be alone with her haha..."

"What do you usually do with your sister?"

"Hm? In the morning, we would go to the garden to harvest vegetables and help my father tidy them up. During the day we will spend on the river bank, usually we fish or even play around under the tree to just spend time. Then in the afternoon, we'll help mom clean the yard and we'll have dinner together after dad gets home from the market to sell vegetables." he said. "Ah, forgive me. My story is too—"

"Sounds very pleasant and you seem to enjoy it a lot." Ryuuga. Yamato slightly flinched as he caught the sorrowful gaze of his young master.

"Then why are you asking that? Do you want to say something?" Asked Yamato attentively.

"No"

"It's okay, Ryuuga-sama. Everyone can't always be okay, it's okay if you're not okay. You can tell me something that stuck in your heart. I'll be happy to listen to you." Say Yamato softly and make little Ryuuga start to glaze over. The tiny shoulders that had previously looked stiff now began to tremble withstanding all the sadness, pain, and torment. Yamato looked at the pity of Fuuga's youngest son, he was still very small to get the pressure that was quite burdensome for him and his brother. "If you want to cry then cry, no one will laugh at you or humiliate you. Cry out loud if it helps you, Ryuuga-sama.." And in the next second little Ryuuga cried in silence.

"ye, Yamato. I really want to live like you. I'm envious." He said slowly, "I've always wanted to grow up with affection, I'd love to spend a lot of time with onii-san, but that's just my delusion."

Yamato. The man understood the meaning of the four-year-old boy's words, he also realized how empty the mansion he worked in was. Although there are so many people who live in it but they seem unaware of each other's presence. It's all like living alone. It is appropriate that a small boy as Ryuuga realizes how lonely his residence is because children his age still really like to play and like the crowd. The man's big hand stretched out to reach the still-vibrating tiny shoulder, patting and stroking it gently trying to give it some calmness. "I get it, Ryuuga-sama." Yamato gave a warm smile, "Everything will be fine... Relax, you are not alone..."

Then slowly Ryuuga began to tell what had been a burden on his mind over the past few months. Little Ryuuga started it from his beloved brother, the only brother he owned, his immense affection for his brother made him also tortured. How do I get onii-san's attention? Now he's in SD and I'm in Kindergarten next year, he thought. Reiji was always busy with his schoolwork, not to mention his father's orders that had been charged to him a few days ago, would have made him no more time. Ryuuga was also slightly hurt by the behavior of his own father and mother. His father seemed very far from him, the head of the family saw only his eldest son. While his mother is good but has absolutely no deep intention to give affection to his sons. Ryuuga thinks everything is a lie, all the family he has is also a fake.

"I wonder what it's like to have love inside?"
