Chapter 72 - 65

"Congratulations, Ena-chan. Another successful concert, eh?" A woman in her mid-twenties said to Ena.

Right now, Ena and her manager, Akiko, are in their private van that Ena bought herself. Ena is currently checking her Twitter account and other social media accounts just to see the reactions of her fans.

"Yes, it was a little cold on stage because of the weather this night, but still, it was a great event. Oh yeah, what's the date right now?" Ena said as she scrolled down on her news feed.

Akiko checked her phone for the date before she answered, "It's December 23, right now."

"Hmm, cancel all of my schedules between December 25 to January 5. I want to spend that time with my family. It's going to be christmas soon, after all." Ena said without any care.

"B-but the meeting with your fans is going to be in there. We can't just ignore that." Akiko said worriedly.

"I don't care. If they're my fans, they should understand that I have a life, too. Cancel all of them. I want to spend some time with Nii-san." Ena said stubbornly.

Akiko just shook her head and sighed exasperatedly. Hikaru, after being hit by a car, was in a coma for almost 2 Years. A year ago, he woke up but he had no ability to think, or something like that. He couldn't speak, couldn't do anything by himself, and nothing they did could ever fix him. Everything in his body is functioning perfectly, the doctor who treated him said so, but it's just like he returned to being a toddler.

Ena and her family have been taking care of him for some time. After a few months, he was discharged from the hospital and was allowed to live with his family. But Ena wanted to return her brother back to normal, so she used any means to do that until she stumbled upon the supernatural stuff.

One day, she invited a Shaman to see what's going on with her brother, she was desperate at the time. That was the time she learned that the body of her brother had no soul, not even a piece of it. In short, what she could see as her brother's body was nothing but a husk. The Shaman didn't even know how Hikaru's body was still alive, considering the fact that he has no soul whatsoever.

Ena didn't feel terrified, no, at that time, she felt sadness knowing that she can never get her true brother back. It's not that she completely believed what the Shaman told them, but with everything going on like this, it might as well be the truth.

(Scene Break)

Ena and her manager separated after they arrived at her house, well, more like a mansion. After growing into a popular idol, Ena managed to buy a huge house for her and her family. That was almost a year ago.

As she walked on her large garden, she started to think about her much younger years.

When she was 12, she was praised to be a genius since she passed elementary school with little to no effort. She was enveloped by the praise of everyone around her, that she started to forget about her own family. But the one who had been hurt the most was her brother, because she would always brag about the things he couldn't obtain in front of his face. It wasn't intentional, it was more like trying to get his attention and get his praise.

She loved her elder brother, very much so. He wasn't popular, nor was he smart. No matter how many times she observed her brother, all she could see that he was average. But he had a hobby of letting his hair grow longer than it should. Sometimes, he would be mistaken for a girl because of his long hair.

She laughed at that thought.

But 3 years ago, she got more and more confident in herself that she started to take lessons for the Idol auditions. Of course, she passed the auditions but she only became a low-paying idol. She didn't just suddenly grow that big in such a short time. But she made decent money off of it, and by the time that accident took place, she was already independent.

Her older brother supported her, that����s something which she kept to her heart to this very day. No matter how much she annoyed or hurt him, he was always there, trying to support her. But along the way, she just forgot about him until that day came.

The accident took place in the afternoon, the owner of a lamborghini was driving at a very fast pace. Her older brother was going back from school at that time, when he crossed the road, it happened. The owner of the car accidentally hit him and sent him flying 5 meters away.

The accident was a hit and run. To this day, no matter what she did, she still couldn't find who the culprit was.

"I swear, I will find whoever did this to my brother. No matter what." Ena muttered to herself.

She was being followed by her bodyguards, so they heard what she said but they just ignored it. This is just a common occurrence.

When she reached the door of her house, it was opened by a little kid. She seems to be 6 years old.

This is Hina, Hikaru's other little sister.

"Onee-chan, you're back!" Hina joyfully said as she jumped up and down in excitement.

Ena lifted Hina up and carried her like a baby.

"You're so heavy now, Hina-chan. How's mama and papa doing?" Ena asked her little sister.

"Mou, I'm not a baby anymore, Onee-chan!" Hina cutely pouted, "Mama and papa are in the kitchen, preparing dinner."

Hina is a cute little girl with her black hair shaped like pig-tails. Her big and round black eyes shined just like her older sister's. Her cute reddish skin brightened under the light of their house. She wore a little cute pink dress and nice little christmas socks.

Their parents' names are Meiko Hiroaki and Haruto Hiroaki.

Her parents' congratulated her for her successful concert, they were just sad that they couldn't go to her concert because they had to take care of Hina at home. Hina wished she could go but she has a phobia called Enochlophobia, in which she has a fear of large gatherings of people. Her phobia started when she witnessed her brother's accident back then. Coincidentally, at the time of the accident, Hina and her mother were shopping for their dinner when they saw a large crowd gathering in the middle of the road.

They were horrified to find out that it was Hikaru who was laying on the ground, bloodyed over. Hina, at that time, couldn't comprehend what had just happened. Her mind went into a state of panic when she was surrounded by dozens of strangers. They were all either taking photos of Hikaru's unconscious body, while some were calling the ambulance or chattering in the background.

Her mother rushed as soon as she could towards Hikaru, crying and screaming.

Since then, Hina has never gone out of the house. When she was at the age where she could go to school, her parents just decided that it was probably better for her to be home-schooled. Because whenever she's in a crowd, she would see her brother's body laying on a pool of his own blood. She would suddenly just start screaming and crying. Her condition is severe but as long as she doesn't go into crowds, she should be fine.

Meiko on the other hand, developed a small fear of blood. It's not as severe as Hina's fear of crowds, but when she sees blood, she would be given a glimpse of her severely injured son.

Haruto, their father, was concerned about what's happening in his family. His son had been reduced to a vegetable, his youngest daughter is traumatized, his wife has also been traumatized, even though slightly. Thankfully, his first daughter seems to be taking things well. He was just as hurt as his wife when he saw the state of his son back then. They thought that he wouldn't survive the surgery.

Back then, they didn't have enough money to pay for the hospital bills. But, mysteriously though, somebody paid for his son's hospital bills. It was from an anonymous person, they didn't say anything to his family. They were grateful to whoever this person was, but they didn't delve in any longer. They were just glad that his son was successfully treated.

After dinner, Ena and Hina decided to go upstairs to feed their older brother.

They opened the door and it revealed a room covered with a soft wall and floor. Not a single hard was there except a TV, and in front of the TV was Hikaru's body, staring at the screen of the Television intently.

Ena walked towards him with a small folding table in her hands. On top of that was his dinner, which she is going to feed to him later.

She squatted down and put down the folding table next to him before she patted the back of his shoulder.

"Nii-san, it's time for dinner." He didn't respond to her. Not a single eye movement was seen, he only stared at the screen of the TV, which is showing her live concert earlier.

"You're still watching that, Nii-san? You'll hurt your eyes if you continue staring at the screen so closely, you know?" Ena said as she tried gaining his attention towards her.

But like before, he didn't move as if he didn't hear her.

Ena took the remote from the side of the TV before turning off the TV.

He blinked, as if he was confused why the Tv just suddenly turned off by itself.

He turned his head around and saw that Ena was there.

"Aahh, aahh, aahh." He just opened his mouth and made nonsensical noises from it. This is all he could do, "Aahh" is basically the only thing he knows to say along with "Eehh" and "Wahh".

From all this, we can see that the impact of that accident on the Hiroaki Family is huge.

Ena just wishes that everything will turn back to normal. But from what she could see, that will not be happening anytime soon.

(In another place in Tokyo, In a hotel called Grand Hyatt Hotel)

In the most expensive room of the Hotel, there stayed Yamanaika Shinohara.

She wore a thin white robe as she went out of the bathroom after having a relaxing bath.

Her long flowing golden hair reached her waist, her bangs were pushed side-to-side, showing her magnificent ocean colored eyes. She has a face perfectly shaped like an oval, her white glistering pink skin will surely dazzle any men in sight. She is quite tall, around 5'9. She is just 21 years old, and she is the daughter of one of the richest companies in Japan.

And she was also the one who accidentally ran over Hikaru.
