THIRTEEN
Takuya twists the doorknob lightly and the door slides in noiselessly. He wasn't expecting visitors so when he sees the stranger sitting by the bed holding Goro's hand, his heart skipped a beat. He was about to speak when the stranger spoke up.

" Goro, please accept my apologies."

Takuya shudders for no reason, perhaps its the melancholy in the stranger's voice.

" I did not meant to leave you at the mercy of those hooligans. I was afraid, very afraid. I couldn't imagine what they would had done to me!

" It was me they were after that night, I know they will never let me go alive. But I thought they will be more lenient on you, that's why I ignored your cries for help.

" Your every cry stabbed my heart till it bled, if you only know how much it had hurt me as it had hurt you! Please forgi ~"

Before he could finish his confession, he heard hurried footsteps behind him. Just as he turned to look, a pair of hands had grabbed his collar and pull him off his feet.

" Wha~"

" You beast!" A very loud roar thundered next his ears nearly deafening him. Totally stunned, he can only allow his attacker to throw him a heavy punch which sent him flying to the opposite wall. Bright stars blinded him and left him weak and helpless. After a long while, the stars started to fade and sees a pair of legs within his blur vision.

" What happened?" He ventured weakly.

" You are Nakai? You are the one responsible for my brother's illness?"

Nakai's jaw dropped in fear and guilt. " You ruined my brother's future! He had a bright future ahead of him but you! You stole it from him!" Takuya points a shaking finger at him.

" I am sorry~" Nakai whimpers.

" Sorry isn't going to fix anything!" Takuya roared angrily. " You betrayed him! You led him into a world of darkness and left him there! Do you know he is still stuck there after all these years!" Takuya reprimanded.

" World of darkness? What happened to Goro?"

" You did not have the guts to face him again after the incident!" Takuya accused cruelly.

" Please tell me! What happened to Goro?"

Surprised by the tears rolling Nakai's cheeks, Takuya halted abruptly. He is still fuming but it felt like someone had put a cork on him, preventing him from further venting
