chapter 10

in a backyard of a small dojo, two teens were sitting around a small pond one was frozen in shock the other, seemed to be explaining something.

Shinichiro opened his mouth first saying"his name is izana he's your younger brother by a year, I-I never told anyone about him, being Emma's half brother only she knows about his existence I know I should've told you sooner but now I just can't hold it anymore I had just gotten a call that he ran away from the orphanage that I put him in, I lost communication with him as well I usually get a letter from him every week but it's been 3 weeks since I had gotten a letter from him." In a worrired tone Shinichiro narrated what had conspired

calming down a bit Samuel asked in a slow tone "so why tell me now?" a hopeless look appeared in Shinichiro's eyes "I just can't hold it anymore I can't help but blame myself for not taking care of him as I do with Mikey Emma and you every day I feel like an asshole for I leaving him alone merely sending him one letter every week, he doesn't even ask me much,only ever wanting the warmth of family"

guilt and shame that had built over the years had finally burst out in this moment, what could he do? He wasn't at the age that he could adopt Izana he couldn't do anything grandpa had already passed the family had lost most of its income Shinichiro barley able to support them as is.

"you couldn't do anything brother, Izana wouldn't want you to beat yourself up over something you had no control over, he knew you couldn't do anything about it he never blamed you for it, Shinichiro beating yourself up over this won't do anything." giving Shinichiro a understanding look samuel said "I don't blame you for hiding this from us you didn't know how we'd react, We make mistakes it's fine you're not perfect brother, c'mon let's get back to the party it wouldn't be pleasant for us to miss Mikey's birthday." Getting up and dusting himself up samuel extended his hand to Shinichiro who firmly grabbed on to him "thanks for that little brother" Ruffling samuel's hair Shinichiro gave a small smile and went back to the party.

Rhe rest of the night was spent with laughter and joy tucking his worries away Shinichiro just enjoyed the present.

Morning next day

The small Sano family were sitting around the dinner table eating breakfast each seemed to be enjoying it.

Taking a bite of his breakfast Samuel couldn't help but moan "Ah Emma you should be cook this is even better than Shinichiro's, I could eat this all day" the food he was having now could be compared to the five star restaurants of his past world, he couldn't get enough of it.

"Mikey save some for the rest of us you brat" a tick mark appeared on samuel's forehead as he yelled at mikey, stuffing his mouth with food Mikey just rolled his eyes and continued eating "I'm glad you like it so much big brother I tried a new recipe I found online though I modified it a bit" smiling Emma gave herself an imaginary pat on the back, Samuel was a foodie not only was he a foodie his taste buds were incredibly harsh so if he liked it the food was always good.

"Samuel aren't you graduating today?" discarding the newspaper he was holding Shinichiro asked Samuel an unexpected question "Yep I can finally get a job after today" samuel had graduated early from school for he had already gone through all of this getting a job shouldn't be hard,however he had other ideas he was from an advanced era in his previous life it was 2047 in this world they had aproxmitly the same timeline, it was 2003 right now in this world Google had gone public on 2004 in his old world he was planning to invest in such companies to reap the benefits later. (idk if it works like that just act like it does)

Hailed as a genius even by the likes of Mikey Shinichiro wasn't surprised that he graduated early.

Nodding proundly Shinichiro picked up a cup of coffee taking a sip

After school

Walking home from school Samuel was bored, incredibly bored he still had to wait two more years for canon to start,however he didn't even know if canon would be the same anymore, him intervening in Shinichiro's death and him just existing canon would change a lot,however he didn't know how much.

As he was lost in his thoughts he accidentally bumped into someone knocking over the person's coffee on himself, quickly apologizing Samuel didn't think much of it, Unfortunately he had encountered a young master dodging a punch Samuel was confused "Sir I apologize I was lost in my thoughts I didn't notice you...if you wish I could buy another coffee for you." Bowing he quickly apologized again a little frustrated but he didn't show it.

A annoying and arrogant voice sounded as finally Samuel got a good look at the person he encountered, He was a tall middle aged bald man with scares decorating his face and body wearing a black and white shirt and ripped jeans, he also wore black leather boots with fingerless gloves, overall he looked like a typical mafia boss.

Getting annoyed Samuel had decided to ignore him walking around him, but before he could even take one step a fast fist came for his head, spinning on his heels Samuel dodged to the side lifting his foot off the ground he gave a destructive kick to the person's head connecting his head to the ground.

"idiot" muttering to himself Samuel just continued with his walk back home

'I need to get in contact with Hajime Kokonoi' he needed money for the plans he had in mind, he was born to be great in this life, he wanted the entire world to know of the sano name kokonoi was the best person for this as money gathering was his best skill, the only problem however was he didn't know how to get in contact with koko, it would be weird to just come up to him and ask him he had no previous connections with koko the best way to get a relationship with him was to help Akane Inui.

What he didn't notice however were 10 shadows following him to the dojo each of them were tall and radiated a threatening aura

______________________________________

Sorry about this but I had realized I made a major mistake on the tenth chapter that being Samuel is only 16 years old and izana was 18 when he first appeared meaning he was 3 years older than mikey he would be 15 currently so It would be odd for him to still stay in an orphanage I made some changes and yes that random guy is very important to the timeline since the future would basically be fine i needed a antagonist and no that guy isn't the antagonist something bigger is at play

i need ideas though I'm using this chapter as practice don't worry though we'll get back into canon soon just think of this as filler
