Tenn smile at Riku's silliness in the same time he got confuse with Riku's mentioning 'finally' word.

"Is it Riku knew about the past?..no that's... can't be happened.. they already put their all of power to back again to this time..Riku already die again at the past..so he shouldn't have remember anything about his memory.."

Ritsu put his finger to his chin as thinking pose.

"I wanna travel around the world to get know everything secret inside!!"said Ritsu as he's eyes really mean it and Dianne saw it.

"Ritsu's dream never change like before..but maybe this might be Riku's first time heard Ritsu's dream.But I haven't ask Riku about his future yet.. because he keep changing to topic..i hope it's doesn't give any seizure on Riku.."

I wanna be mature like Tenn-nii..i wanna sing the same stage which where Tenn-nii's stand.

That's right,i wanna let everyone know,Tenn-nii is my best brother!

"Riku-chan, it's your last turn,please introduce yourself.."said Dianne-sensei.I take a deep breath and i wanna make Tenn-nii praising me.

_______________________

Riku standing infront of the class and start to introduce about himself meanwhile Tenn was hoping some answer that he wanna know from Riku.

"Nanase Riku dess,Tenn-nii is my brother,we are twin.I like something that related about heroes.Being Hero is good because you can help everyone who need it."Everyone start get interested with what Riku likes then Riku's expression change."but, I can't do anything..,i can't do so much.. because i am weak,small and not same like other kid..maybe i can say all of us has different..",Riku stop for awhile.Dianne already aware with Riku's condition,so she about to comfort Riku.There's goes to Tenn too,he got feeling that Riku might be pressure with that he about to stand but Riku continue,"but, it's doesn't changing my dream that i already though now"said Riku with smile.

Tenn and Dianne looking at Riku.

"Thenn, Riku-chan,what is your dream?"Dianne ask.

"I wanna spread a big love around the world and standing the same stage with where Tenn-nii wass,i wanna be the best idol together with Tenn-nii!!"said Riku with full of spirit even Tenn didn't expect Riku's dream still same like before.Like how Riku in the past writing his dream.He want to stand the same stage as him too.Tenn didn't know how to react because he never been there when Riku need.

Dianne were proud of Riku and clap hand for Riku.The other kid also join too.

That's right,Riku still Riku.He really never has his own path because both of us has a fate to be share together forever.Riku always being this strong,no,he always get more stronger than me.Maybe,this is the best vision i should take from the start.Riku honestly never disappoint me from before..i mean since we were born.He always help me to get what i want meanwhile Riku have to give everything to me.Riku,you always make me feel small in front of you...you are the angel...

___________________

At lunchtime, everyone take out their lunch box.Riku,Tenn and Ritsu having it as group because they already feel comfortable being together.But suddenly,the other kid approach Riku.

"Neee,nanase can i ask you something?"he ask,

"You are Takamari Harusa right? Nice to meet you!"said Riku with smile and low his head.

"Maaa,i don't need your polite things to me! You have to answer my question first!!"said Harusa with rude.Since Dianne wasn't there,Harusa have that courage to show his arrogant as rich kid and Tenn knew Harusa very well.

Takamari Harusa,he never change,he being like this too but toward Ritsu,but why Riku?

"Dianne-sensei said,we should be polite to each other no matter who's the big one!"said Riku with smile.

Harusa got pissed and push Riku until Riku fell on the floor.Tenn and Ritsu immediately stand up and standing infront of Riku.Ritsu help Riku stand up.

"Ri-chann,are you okay? "Ritsu ask.

Riku stand up without any complain and just smile.

"Tenn-nii, Riri-chann, it's okay,maybe it's my fault.I am sorry Takamari-san,you can ask me.."said Riku while pull Tenn's hand.

"You are sick right!"Harusa ask.

"Yes,but i am healthy already! As you can see,i can go to school too"said Riku with proudly.

Takamari Harusa POV

"I am healthy! Don't worry about me"

"I..fine!..i always fine!"

My big brother and mother always say that too.But in the end,they gone.Even they gone,they still lying? They are lying!! They make me like a stupid! They being mean to me for lying those things.Everyone who said that always end up with leaving.

"You just a liar! Everyone will die because they lying so much!! You are the same!!"i shout at Nanase!

_______________________

"Hey don't yell at people as your wish!"said Tenn with cold in the same time he pull Riku to his behind.

"You are his brother right??? You both a twin!! What your feeling when your younger brother are lying to you he was good but honestly he was hurt inside! What are you gonna believe it?"shout Harusa.

"Tha-"

"Harusa-chan, don't say like that!! I'm still here as your father! Don't dare talk like that when your brother and mother already gone!"said Harusa's father

Harusa look directly to his father didn't expect that he was there in the same time Dianne come too.

"EVERYONE IS LIAR!!"shout Harusa and crying.Dianne about to get Harusa meanwhile Harusa's father about to grab his hand but Riku hug Harusa without hesitation.

Tenn were shock and same as the other too.Riku was crying too.

"Don't cry! Don't show you are weak.Yes i am liar,i am bad at lying people..but everything i want to..is not make them worry and always use the smile.."said Riku.Tenn looking at Riku meanwhile Dianne and Harusa's father freeze after heard that word from Riku.

"Riku..."

"They never leave yourside..they always together with you..always... "said Riku who still hug Harusa tightly.

Harusa can feel how down Riku was now.He feel guilty for yell at Riku and crying loud too.Dianne just smile and give them big hug.

Riku might be different with Harusa because Harusa growing with rich father but he only doesn't have his brother and mother but only have father.Riku growing up together with his parent and Tenn but can't do anything much because he has his own limit.Riku didn't have to have rich family because he already happy with what he had.

"Riku-chan, please come with me together...and you too Tenn-chan.."said Dianne.Harusa's father hold his shoulder and give him hug too.

"You know i can give you anything you want..but I can't only give you a love enough like other kid...i am sorry Harusa.."said Harusa's father.Harusa just crying and hug his father.

Meanwhile, Dianne bring Riku to the infirmary room and help him lay on the bed.

"Tenn-chann,you must know why i bring Riku-chan here right?"Dianne ask.Tenn nodded.Dianne pat Tenn's head and leaving the twin alone.

"Tenn-nii...did i do something wrong?.."Riku ask.

Tenn look at Riku and give him a warm smile.

"Nope,you are doing great,can you help me?"said Tenn.

"Anything!.."

"Today, mom and dad will be late to pick up us,so Dianne-sensei will stay with us until mom and dad done their work.So you should close your eyes and sleep for awhile.Can you do that?"said Tenn.

".. anything for Tenn-nii! But can you tell me any story from fantasy book?"Riku ask.

Tenn nodded.

"I see.. thanks for telling us Dianne-san..we will be there soon after we finish everything here..please take care of our son.."said Miyou and end the call.

"Something happen with Riku??"Nishi ask as he was worry at Riku's condition.

"No, Dianne-san told us,Riku comforting someone.She just afraid if Riku got any attack from getting pressure after Takamari-chan yell at Riku.But according Ritsu's story and Tenn's story,Riku didn't fight back but being honest to Takamari-chan..so Takamari-chan's father want to meet us when we have a time.."said Miyou.

"..but Riku safe?"

"Dianne-san brought Riku to the infirmary to take some sleep first."said Miyou.

"Maybe Tenn knew the story..then let's finish our work quick! So Riku and Tenn didn't have to wait for so long"said Nishi.Miyou agree and continue their work.

"Okay kids, let's draw your family in that drawing paper then hand to me when you finish."said Dianne.

All the kid in that class shout 'okay' together and begin to draw.

Other kid were drawing with happily meanwhile Harusa still staring at his drawing paper.Riku already draw with colourful pencil.Tenn smile at Riku and just drawing too.

After 30 minutes has passed,Harusa still didn't draw anything but the other kids already finish their drawing and hand to Dianne.Riku saw that Harusa didn't draw anything so Riku didn't handed his drawing yet and go to the Harusa.

"Harusa-san,why you didn't draw anything?"Riku ask.

"... I don't know what to draw.. Dianne-sensei said draw our family right but,i only had my father.."said Harusa.

"If i was you,i would draw everyone even they not with us!"said Riku.Dianne and Tenn heard Riku's conversation together with Harusa.

"But Dianne-sensei said..draw our family right.."

"Yess,even mom and your brother wasn't here in reality..they still watching you from heaven and they never leave you.They always watching you there.. for right now,your mother are watching you too!"said Riku while pointing next to Harusa.

Tenn were shock and he almost forgot that Riku still can see something that other people can't see.

Harusa were scare when Riku said that.

"Yo- you just joking right??"said Harusa.

"No.. I'm not... she's next to you..and saying 'my beloved Haru-chan'.."said Riku.Without knowing Harusa's tears were fall through his cheeks.Riku were shock and a little panic when he saw Harusa crying.

Dianne about to comfort Harusa again but Riku hug Harusa first.

"..only my mom can call me Haru-chan...i miss my mom...."said Harusa.

"Then,you should draw them too.. because wherever they are...they will be always with you..okay?"said Riku.

The sweet word that come out from Riku really got Tenn's heart and Dianne too.

"Okay.."

"Okay everyone did send the drawing,we will meet next day and prepare the story about your drawing okay? Who's the best story will get reward from me"said Dianne.Everyone were happy and say thanks to Dianne and wait for their parent to pick them.

"Tenn-chan,Riku-chan,your parent will be late today,"said Dianne.They nodded and stay at the class.

Meanwhile Harusa's father want to talk with Dianne.

"Did Harusa doing something again?"Harusa's father ask.

"Don't worry, Harusa-chan is a good boy.He still kid and it's hard for him for the first.He need a time to calm down.Takamari-san already knew kids are being so sensitive when they lost someone.Takamari-san should take a time to stay with him and make him understand.Thanks to Riku-chan,Harusa can draw so well for theme family.Here"said Dianne and show Harusa's drawing.

Harusa's drawing has his whole family member there.Harusa's father were touched after saw that drawing and proud at Harusa.He knew he can give everything to his son but not love.Harusa still need growing with a lot of love so he won't be racist.

"Thanks to Riku-chan for helping Harusa-chan today again.."said Dianne.

"..that kid must be so special..you were right,thanks to him for changing my son...he replace my place as father to comfort Harusa..did you send my greet to Nanase's parent?"he ask.

"Yup,but today they will be late,maybe next time.They run a business theater at Miyagi."said Dianne.

"So they will pick their son later?"

"Yes, don't worry,the kids already knew about it too."said Dianne.

"Oh i see..maybe this is not the best time to meet them yet."said Harusa's father.

"Riku? What are you doing?"Tenn ask.Riku was busy reading some book while waiting for their parent come.

"I'm reading a book to learn my reading skill more"said Riku.

Tenn smile and pat Riku's head.

"That's good...i proud of you Riku"said Tenn.Riku giggle and like being praised by Tenn.

"Hehehehehe,Tenn-nii,can i say something?but promise me you won't mad at me.."said Riku.

"How can i mad at you?is that question really something i should be mad at you?"Tenn ask.

"No.. because...aaa.. nothing..i will tell you later.."said Riku.

"Riku,you shouldn't hide from me"said Tenn.

"I'm not hiding..but please let me tell about it later?"said Riku with puppy eyes.

"Okay,made sure to tell me when you ready"said Tenn.

"Okay!!! I will."

Now I'm curious what Riku want to tell me.Before this,he never be like this but now he hiding something from me.Is that about he want to make promise with me like the past?What question that he think can make me mad at him?

"..this time,his brother come because he was proud of Takamari-san.."Riku mumbles.

"Riku?.."Tenn look at Riku.Tenn's eyes were looking at Riku's hand.Tenn can tell that Riku are trembling then suddenly there's a blood dropped on the table.Tenn were terrified and look at Riku who has nosebleed."Riku???!!"Tenn was panic and hold Riku's shoulder.

"..ah.. I don't know it's bleeding??"said riku.Riku doesn't know he was bleeding.Tenn immediately shout at Dianne to ask some tissue and wipe Riku's nose.

"I don't feel anything, I'm fine don't worry Dianne-sensei.."said Riku while smiling.Tenn help Riku wipe his nose.

"Riku,if you feel uncomfortable,please let sensei know...you know i am worry about you.."said Tenn.

"I'm fine Temn-nii,maybe because i saw them standing behind and use my spirit to touch Takamari-san"said Riku.Tenn knew it, it's must be part of it.
