Evil

After that fateful night, Kyouya woke up as he was being embraced by his mother, clearly asleep. Trying to move, he felt the immense pain he had before fainting was slowly returning, but, this time, it didn't hurt as much.

"Mom.."

Weakly shaking his mother, he tried to understand the situation he was in as she, being shaken, woke up as she saw that his son was awake. With tears forming in her eyes, she replied

"Kyouya...at least you are fine..thank God.."

Opening his eyes, he could feel that something was obscuring his vision on his right one. Seeing his worry, she pat his head as she added

"I put a bandage on your right eye...does it hurt?"

Her words, brought him to shake his head as he had more important things to think about..

"Mom..Why dad acted like that..? He was trying to kill you..did he?"

Even though he knew that, it was indeed the truth, he still hoped that everything was just a dream, and that, his father, wasn't that kind of person, but..

Unable to contain her tears, she started to cry as she embraced him.

"I..I don't know any more Kyouya..I would like to make you run away from here..but..he said he would kill you if I ever do something like that..and I am scared to risk. He knows me way too well.."

Replying with a hug, Kyouya didn't know what to do as he clenched his hand in a fist before she froze as she saw that Keiichi was entering the kitchen.

Ignoring them, he went towards the fridge. Opening it, he saw that they had no alcohol left.

"Aimi, go to buy me alcohol."

Hearing his words, she twitched as she was afraid of leaving Kyouya alone with him. As if he could read minds, he added

"I won't touch your precious son if you return with alcohol. Don't worry. If you bring the police here, he will be dead before they will even being able to ask for something in exchange for the release of the hostage."

Calmly saying so, he sat on the sofa as he smiled at her

"Go now"

Deciding it was better to do as he said, she hurriedly went to pick her money while Kyouya stared at Keiichi as all he could feel, At that moment, was hate.

"..You aren't my dad. Dad would never do such things"

Thinking about his words, Keiichi smiled as he replied

"You know, Kyouya, all human beings have bad sides, even the best people. There will always be a time when their wickedness will be visible. There are those who get carried away by evil, there are those who pretend to be on the side of good, there are those who believe they are good when they are not..."

Approaching his face, he added

"...This world, is full of evil people, no matter how many people you will encounter in the future, everyone has reasons to be good, and everyone is selfish...like your father."

Even though he couldn't fully understand these words, this was just one of the memories that, over the years, remained really impressed in Kyouya's mind...
