Tom (3)

"...And that is it, sir. I would like to leave them here with you." Daniel said as he sat on a couch opposite a middle-aged man.

The man was Kuroda. He was the man who taught Daniel fighting and made him the strong monster he is right now. Kuroda, in his prime, had cleaned through the entire country trying to find someone to teach. Finally, he taught Daniel for a few months but in the end, he deemed him as unworthy to be taught too.

"I really am feeling bad for you. I'll let James know that you left. Leave the kids to me too." Kuroda said.

James was a friend of Daniel and was from the same country as him. He worked in Kuroda's house as his butler.

Daniel listened to Kuroda and left the house. He then brought Mira and Tom inside the house.

Kuroda stood up and went to pick up the unconscious Mira in his arms.

"She's such a cute child as you said. Don't worry, I'll treat her as my daughter." Kuroda said as he took Mira inside a room in his house. His house was in a posh area, far from where Daniel lived.

"Don't ever go back to our house and listen to sir. Protect your sister for sure from this time." Daniel said as he quickly left the house without speaking any other word.

Kuroda soon walked back to the living room again but, this time he was followed by another servant.

"..Yes, call the doctor and give her whatever she asks for when she wakes up. From today, she is my daughter. As for him…" Kuroda said as he looked at Tom in front of him, standing with a swollen face from Daniel's slaps and punches.

"Here, sit," Kuroda said as he sat down on a recliner and pointed to another one, telling Tom to sit.

"Umm, sir, my brother-"

"Wait, let me speak first. You, you are really pathetic. I was a gangster my whole life, a bad man but even so, I always made sure to stick to morals and never let anything like what happened with your sister today happen. I would use my life to protect her. I even lost my arm doing that but you…Daniel really lied saying that his brother was the best." Kuroda said as he pointed to his missing left arm and puffed smoke from a cigar he was smoking.

"Sir, what is my brother going to do? Is he-"

"I'll tell you tomorrow morning. Sleep for now." Kuroda said.

"But sir-"

"Hey, I said sleep. Even if I didn't see Mira ever before, she is now my daughter and you are a weak pussy who just watched her criminals harm her. Daniel just punched you because he still cares for you. I'll kill you for real. I don't mind having another murder case investigation on me." Kuroda said as he stood up tall and looked at Tom. Kuroda's stare was different from Daniel's stare.

Daniel would've still left him but, Kuroda would really kill him without any remorse.

"Y-Yes sir," Tom said as he quickly went inside the house.

"Where are you going? You are going to be a guard of the house now. Go to the quarters on the left of the main house now." Kuroda said as he pointed to the door.

Tom put his head down and walked out of the main house. He then entered the guard's quarters which were a lot worse than the main house. Even inside the quarters, everyone was hating Tom and called him a weakling.

A while later, in the main building.

Kuroda sat on the recliner, watching the television when James entered the room.

"You called me, sir?" James asked as he put his hand right under his shoulder and bowed politely to Kuroda.

"Yes, I did. James, Daniel went to the biker gang." Kuroda said as he continued watching the television.

James stood there, confused for a second and when he realized, he ran out of the room hurriedly.

The next morning, Tom was woken up by the other men sleeping in the quarters.

"Hey, bitch, check this out." A man said as he shook and woke up Tom.

Tom woke up quickly. He had not slept the whole night at all and had just laid on the bed, with his eyes closed.

"Here…" The man said. Other than him, a lot more men were sitting in front of a television.

Tom looked at it and read the news.

"Breaking news, a 17-year-old named Daniel was caught by the police this morning. He was arrested for cold-bloodedly murdering more than 15 boys and seriously injuring a lot more. According to the news we have received till now, no others were helping him. This is…"

As Tom looked at the news, he realized a lot of things. Things like how much Daniel loved both his younger siblings and really did anything to avenge one of them.

Suddenly, the door of the quarters was opened and a tall man with pink hair walked inside.

"Tom. where is Tom?" He asked.

"Good morning, James. Here is Tom." The men said as they greeted James and pointed towards Tom.

James looked at Tom and pulled him outside, into the gym in the quarters.

"Bro James-" Tom said but was interrupted. Tom knew James since he had sometimes seen him with Daniel.

"Don't call me bro. I'm your boss and I'll fucking make you go through hell. Weak bitch." James said as he assumed a boxing stance and started boxing with Tom.
