Memories

…BlooD MasCarA…

"It's okay, Tala. I'm sure you and Rei will get along just fine. Rei's a good kid," Tala's new father reassured. He smiled into the review mirror, getting a glimpse of his new kin. His smile dropped slightly when he got no reaction from the young boy in the back seat that was staring out the window at the new surroundings. They didn't rouse any excitement in his cold blue eyes. He almost looked like he wasn't seeing anything at all. Not the beautiful green trees crowding around each other, surrounding the road, not the brick buildings which would soon become a part of his life, nor the solid establishment before the very car; his new home, yet he saw none of this. Steven wanted to say something but his wife placed a hand on his thigh, and shook her head.

"It's best we just let him be, honey."

Her voice was like no sound anyone had ever heard. She had an angel's voice; soft and kind. How he loved his wife. Silently he nodded and pulled the car up into the driveway.

Tala stared at nothing and everything at the same time. This was going to be his home. He had never left his home country, Russia, before, but now he was going to live in Japan with his new parents, Steven and Jill. It was too much for him. All he ever wanted was his parents back, his real ones.

The car stopped, which shook Tala of his contemplating. He glanced up briefly. It wasn't a special house. It was two stories and a brick house. The front door was just plain wood. Nothing special. Tala remembered little of his past, but he remembered his home. It was nothing like this. It was huge, almost 5 stories high with beautiful marble floors and stunning gardens. This was just ordinary compared to his old house.

Tala wasn't stupid. He was 16 now; he knew he was being selfish. He grew up a life with the wealthy. He had everything he ever wanted. And these people, they were struggling to feed their families and clothe them. He didn't deserve to live with these people. They could barely survive on their own; he'd only make this worse for them. He wasn't a normal boy growing up, but now he was going to be. He had spent the last 6 years in an orphanage, but that's not a normal life either. After waking up in the hospital all those years ago. He could barely remember anything. The didn't remember much of his parents or how they died. Their bodies were never found, but he knew they were gone, and they weren't coming back, and no one could replace them.

"Tala? Lets go, honey. I think Rei's upstairs," Jill smiled reassuringly at Tala. He didn't react in anyways except a slight nod and then entered. It was his knew home. The walls were a peach colour, matching the wooden doors accordingly. He steps further into the house, eyeing every single space of the household, mapping the entire place out in his mind. He'd know every room inside out within the next few days. Some people use to think that Tala had photographic memory, but it was a good memory. Nothing else.

"Come on inside. Are you hungry? I'll go make you something if you'd like," Jill asked merrily. Steven disappeared behind one of the wooden doors and out of sight. Tala watched as the door closed behind him and turned back to his new mother. "Yes, thank you." he smiled slightly. Jill giggled, satisfied with the response. She loved cooking. Obviously Tala had been brought up with strict rules. His manners were very nice and perfected over the years.

"Well, I'll make you something. Maybe you should go and meet Rei. He's upstairs, second door on the left."

Tala nodded and made his way over to the stairs. Simple photographs lined the walls in their wooden frames. Some were of Jill and Steven, obviously when they were younger. Others were of a cute baby, probably Rei. Tala continued up until a certain picture caught his attention. It was much larger than the rest, and the frame was finely shaped and engraved with the family last name; Kon.

On the right, was a woman, dark raven locks cascaded down her back. Her skin was unblemished and her blue eyes were shinning beautifully. Her long black gown was beautifully laced with red ribbons and red sequins'. It was Jill.

Beside her was a tall man. His hair was short and black, like his wife. His eyes were golden and sparkled in the lights. He wore a tuxedo, with a red rose tucked into the left chest pocket. His skin was flawless and a golden tan colour. It didn't exactly look like Steven. Steven has brown eyes, not gold. So maybe this was someone else.

Between them both was a young boy, about 6. His long raven locks were wrapped up in a loose ponytail with a white cloth. He resembled his mother, but he had his fathers stunning golden eyes and his fathers tanned complexion. He wore different clothes though. He wore a black sleeveless shirt and baggy army styled pants. He had skater shoes on and bored expression on his face. He really did look like a badass kind of guy.

Tala shook his head; he was beginning to think about his past again. He just wanted to forget. The only photo he had left of his parents was a portrait much like this one. They looked beautiful standing together, while Tala looked as if he just didn't want to be there. Despite Tala's earlier behavior, he could be quite the rebel. He grew up to be well mannered and polite. But he got his first taste of the real world when he ran away from home after an argument with his parents. He found a friend and he showed Tala what being free was really like.

Tala shook his head. He didn't want to think about them now. Maybe in time, he would just forget everything all together.

Silently he stepped before his new brothers bedroom door as he was instructed. He knocked twice and waited. He saw the dishonest look his father gave when he told Tala that his son was a great kind. It was highly doubtful. Chances were that Rei and his parents didn't get along much at all. They most likely got into many arguments.

He heard shuffling and footsteps on the other side of the door before a voice answered.

"What the fuck do you want?"

Tala smirked. He may have been brought up to be polite but he couldn't care less. He was only well mannered around adults. Rei and him may actually get along.

"It's Tala. Can I come in?"

Footsteps again and then before the Russian knew it, the door had opened to reveal a young teen. Long black hair tied up in a loose ponytail. Baggy black pants and a black tunic with the peace symbol on the back.

Rei raised a raven brow. Tala's smirk grew wider. At first glance you would think they were completely different. Tala was pale and had icy azure eyes, while Rei was tanned and had warm, uncaring golden eyes. Tala was dressed in all white and Rei was dressed in all black. No one would eve guess these two were now family.

"So you're Tala, ay?"

Tala merely nodded. Rei studied him for a moment before opening the door to let him in. Tala smiled appreciatively and stepped inside. The door closed behind him and was locked forcefully by the other teen.

The room was like a typical teenage bedroom. A study in the corner jam-packed full of papers and pencils, most of which did not look like homework. This bed was black and unmade. His floor was littered with used clothing and more papers and pens. For a second Tala almost felt at home. He had lived with that unorganized orphanage for so long, it was like a second home to him…and this is the third. The thought depressed Tala but he tried not to show it.

Rei moved around and sat on his bed before motioning for Tala to join him. He didn't protest. He wanted to know these people, this was his family.

"So Tala? What do you do for fun?"

Tala thought about it for a moment. He didn't know how to go about answering it. One wrong slip up and there goes any chanced of getting close to people.

"Is that a trick question?"

Rei smirked. He liked this guy already. But it was time to test him to see whether or not he was worthy of being associated with Rei.

"Ok then. If its 10pm and mum tells you to go to bed, what do you do?"

Tala had to think about that one. He didn't want to upset Rei and have his new brother hate him.

"Hn. Well I'd probably drag out the argument long enough to try and persuade her into letting me stay up, but if that doesn't work I'd probably go upstairs into my room, lock it and turn music up really loud till ungodly ours in the morning." Tala couldn't suppress a smirk.

Rei smirked too. He seemed to approve.

"Nice."

"Thank you." Tala said smugly.

"Ok then. You passed test 1. Now, test 2."

"Ok then."

"Right. It's school and you're hanging with your friends, then some pretty cheerleader type comes up to you and asks you out. What do you do?"

"Tell her to go screw herself."

"Very nice."

"Test 3. Your teacher gives you a suspension because you were caught torching the back shed on fire. What do you do?"

"Nothing. I wouldn't get caught in the first place." Rei raised an eyebrow but smirked nonetheless. Maybe he could live with his new brother after all.

"Ok then. Test 4…"

!#$&()

The rest of the evening went accordingly. Tala was asked 21 questions and only got one wrong, but Rei assured him that he passed either way. Tala, now happy with himself, just finished a detour around the house with Rei and was in the middle of dinner.

His new parents were very nice to him and let him have as many plates as he wanted to. Rei snorted at that and gobbled his entire plate within the minute. Tala only had one serving because Rei pulled him away before he could have anymore of the luscious food. He thanked Jill for the lovely meal and was pushed out the door and was now staring out the balcony in his room with Rei gazing out beside him.

"Why'd ya do that?" Rei's voice broke the peace. Tala stared at him both shocked and confused.

"Do what?"

"Why'd you thank mum for the meal?" Tala stared in wonder at his brother. Obviously Rei had no manners what so ever. Tala shrugged. "Cause."

"Because what?"

"Because it was the way I was brought up. I grew up with a wealthy family and taught to be well mannered and had a strict up bringing. I don't care much for manners but I'm polite to adults. Besides, she's mum and it's my first day. Might as well get on her good side now."

Rei listened as his bro explained. What he was saying made sense.

"Are we still okay, bro," Tala asked, turning to Rei. Rei smiled and nodded.

"Yeah. But I thought you lost your memory or something."

"I did. I remember when I was little, but it's just a blur. I can only remember minor details. Everything after the age of 7 I just can't remember. I don't remember what happened to my parents. They just disappeared. The police believed that they're dead, but they've never found the bodies."

"And you? What do you think?" Tala stared at Rei. Rei merely gazed out into the lovely view of the city. The lights flickered about. The streetlights illuminated the countryside, while the big building just seemed to illuminate themselves with all the traffic lights and street lamps. It was a remarkable sight, one that Tala was thankful for.

"I…I guess that…I don't know. I've always thought them as dead though."

Rei nodded. "I know how you feel. You miss them don't you?"

Tala nodded. "Yeah. Do you really know how I feel? I mean, have you lost anybody you love?"

"Yes. You know Steven?"

"You mean, your dad?"

"He's not my dad. My dad died when I was six years old. Mum re-married about a year later to Steven. It looks like we're related, but there are some differences."

"Like your eye colours. I saw a family portrait of you and your parents. At first I realized that the man didn't look like Steven, but now I understand. That was your real dad."

Rei nodded. A distant look crossed his golden eyes. They glistened with tears but he suppressed them. He didn't want to cry over him. "I use to be a good boy, you know? I was always happy and innocent. But after dad died and mum re-married, I just stopped. I met my friends and became a rebel. I love my mum and all, but I don't like Steven."

"Rei? At least you remember your dad. I have nothing but a photo. I don't even remember their names."

Rei nodded sadly. Tala stared off into the distance. A light breeze whirled past, sending Tala's hair flowing about in the current. Rei's ponytail whirled above him and then rested on his shoulder when the current of air past.

It was silent between them, for what seemed like forever.
