Chapter 44：XLlll

But things weren't as peaceful at the Mia/Rose mansion....

"How could you miss, Shade?! Until now we know why she wasn't killed!" Silver exclaimed angrily.

"What is so special about that brat anyways?! She is just a disgrace! If only that law that dealt with crossbreeds was still around when she was born!" Roxas stated.

Hearing such thing made Shade's heart ache in pain as if it was being stabbed by millions of knifes. "Sasuko... is like a sister to me. I know we are not related, but that doesn't mean anything to me."

"No wonder..." Silver said.

"Tsk tsk tsk. What a sad thing to hear from my older brother." Akame Moon Rose, Shade's younger sister said.

"Well, I saw this coming." Zazu Scar Mia, the youngest son of the family, reclaimed.

Not looking at his siblings, Shade kept his attention on his father and step mother. He knew, this was going to cost him either his life or place within the family. But, he didn't care. He was able to save Sasuko and that was all that mattered to him.

"As punishment, I think it be more wise to kick you out." Roxas said.

And that was exactly what happened. Now, Shade is living within tokyo to be as near as possible to Sasuko as to keep an eye on her. At some point, he learned that Ash was carrying his child within her womb. Shade didn't know how to feel. He was deeply scared of his family using the child against him for not listening to a "simple" command.

So, to be able to protect his unborn child and Ash, Shade decided to try to start a relationship with Ash. She was hesitant at first but later understood his concern. After four successful dates, Ash started living with him.

Surprisingly, their relationship became really strong, which gave Shade the courage to ask Ash to marry him. Without any trace of hesitation, Ash happily agreed. Now that he has Ash within his grip, Shade is determined to take care of her and their child from his own family.

As for Tadashi and Anna, the only way they have gone as far as being girlfriend and boyfriend was with the help of GoGo. Whenever the siblings joined some sort of gathering with friends and Anna was among them, GoGo always found a way to get her brother alone with Anna.

At first, this made both Tadashi and Anna very uncomfortable. Eventually, the distance they had towards each other closed.

This gave them the courage to start a relationship together, which is going perfectly well. But, the only thing that is in Tadashi's way is the fact that he is being targeted. Not by a gang, but an organization that once had him captive as a test subject. This fact explains why he is bipolar. The only hope Tadashi has right now is: due to him being always with Anna, those after him does not use her as bait to be able to lay their hands on him.
