Takeshi Hikari

The boy was begging for his life,“someone please help ! Help !”but no one heard him. The fire spread round up to the corner of the rooms. The boy turned to his dad, who was lying still beside him on the floor. The boy took out the knife from his father's abdomen. He placed his ear to his father's chest. There was complete silence inside his heart.He also realised that his mother and sister was missing.

“ It can't be,You can't leave me alone,”said Takeshi.

Takeshi moved back and caught the wall. Tears trailed down to the floor from his chin. He heard a familiar laugh from the half burnt window. He stared at the bottom.

“ I know him, he is Makyo Shinori, a bloody idiot !” thought Takeshi.

“ Finally, my revenge is completed. That day he was saying a lot of things, tonight he realized that what could be happened by insulting me, his wife and daughter is also with me, I have kidnapped them to have fun everyday ,though they are very hot ,” Makyo said to other two guys.

Takeshi didn't listened to it anymore.he got in his posture and jumped from the window into the bushes. No one saw him or heard of him. He ran away from there as fast as he could. He didn't look back.

“ He was a liar! everything is lie! No one is for anyone, no one cared for me and I don't care for others, if you haven't cared for them,then you would have leading a happy life with me, mom and Hanaki,” thought Takeshi.

Everything he saw in his mind that day was as clear as mirror.Again Takeshi got reminded of the day when Takeshi was with his father and he knelt down between the market and said:

“ If you care for others then others will care for you . The greatest satisfaction of one's life is to sacrifice themselves to the service of others.Remember ,Takeshi ,always help others with whatever you have.Make this world ,a better place for future.”

The next day ,Takeshi woke up in a garden .He screamed ,“ Mom ! Hanaki ! ”

He looked around him and caught his head ,“Oh no,they are under Shinori's control,I have to go in his mansion immediately,god only knows whether they are safe or not under that animal ! ” said Takeshi solemnly .Takeshi made up his mind and headed towards Shinori mansion .He invaded Shinori mansion without any notice. He swiftly escaped all of his men and entered a big hall. All the guards follow upto the hall.

There Makyo was doing some warm up exercises.Takeshi grabbed the huge door and said while huffing very hard,“ I have a deal for you.I know that my mother and sister is with you .So it's better for you to listen to me .” Takeshi stroke in his mind when he saw a knife in the room,he thought “ What if I kill him and escape from here with mom and Hanaki ,no no ,what I am thinking ? He can betray his modesty but I cant , for my family , I can't insult my morality,I can't be selfish !” Makyo turned to the door and gave the guards a hand signal of being still.

“If I am not wrong then you are son of Hakashi ,I have to accept that you are very courageous,no one has ever dared to enter my mansion,” remarked Shinori.

“ I challenge you in a katana battle,If I win then you will return my mom and sister back ..”proposed Takeshi.

“And if I win then you will leave this village for ever,no one has ever dared to challenge me in open,”completed Makyo.

Both of the fighters got ready.Makyo stroke, Takeshi stopped it and flipped his sword with a counter-attack.Makyo balanced on his katana and kicked.Takeshi stood and threw kicks and strokes,Makyo dodged.Makyo ended this battle with hit on Takeshi's head from back.

Takeshi fell down.A broad ray of daylight shown on his face .

“ I...lost..I will not see them happier anymore..with me,”Takeshi murmured.

He couldn't hear any sound but only he could hear the voice of his mom and sister ,when he spent time with them.He could only see how Hanaki and Takeshi played together and fought with each other and how his mom,Aiko cared for his son and saved him from scolding of dad and how she appreciated every action of his son.

Makyo's men left Takeshi in between a dense forest as per the deal.There were many poisonous snakes ,insects and wild violent animals.

Takeshi sat under a tree and started thinking heaven to earth.

“ That time, I can easily kill him with a knife there,but my modesty interfered,”thought Takeshi ,“Should I go there again?no no ,what if they hurt mom and Hanaki more and more or...May he kill me this time,What should I do ? Where should I go ? I hate you,Makyo! I would not spare you ,one day I will come,I will come ! I don't care for anyone on this world except my family from now .”
