This was all too familiar territory for me; running out of CTN Studios after being ambushed on television by Trisha VanReardon. The first time she had insulted me, I had punched her in the face and was dragged out…this time I tore out of the building because that bitch had exposed a secret that I had been keeping from my sister for years. I had told my sister that our brother, my twin had died in Japan. I knew that this would hurt her…but it was a lie born of necessity in order to protect her from the truth. She wouldn’t…she couldn’t understand. I wasn’t 100% sure that I understood it all…but I knew that this was for the best.
The lies I told had eaten away at me…threatening my very peace of mind. I had sought therapy…stupidly accepting it from a woman that hated me more than anyone else on the planet. Meiko Kazama had apparently passed this information on to Trisha VanReardon, enabling her to attack me with it…tearing open an old wound between my sister and I. The worst part of it all was that VanReardon truly had no idea what she had just done…the horror she might have just unleashed.
I stood outside the building, waving my arms to hail a taxi. I needed to get out of here before Nyako came charging after me, demanding answers to questions that I didn’t want to hear. I had done what needed to be done…and it was for her own good, rather she realized it or not. This needed to be the end of it!
Oni felt a firm hand on her shoulder s she tensed up a bit.
“Why didn’t you just tell me sister.” Nyako said. Her voice was heavy with hurtfulness and sorrow. “Why couldn’t you just tell me instead of letting the harpy VanReardon get the satisfaction. I gave you the chance. Why didn’t you just tell me?”
I stumbled back as Nyako held me. I was terrified that this would happen, I hadn’t considered what would happen if she ever found out the truth about Senji. I brushed her hand off, gaining the distance from her that I needed in order to get my thoughts together.
“Ny…you don’t understand…you can’t understand!! I…I couldn’t tell you because…”
I didn’t want to tell her the truth. How could she understand? Why would she understand? She loved her brother…unconditionally and she would want nothing more than to contact him. I could not allow that.
I pointed at her, “Ny…please…let this go! I need you to let this go!” With my eyes, I pleaded with her, my fear showing through despite myself; “This is for both our sakes…please Ny…PLEASE!!”
Nyako tried hard to understand but her her anger continued to rise the longer her sister told her to drop the subject. Still she continued in a measured tone trying hard not to show how furious she really was abut all the secrets and lies.
"What is it you are trying to keep from me Kymiku. I have a right to know what is going on. I thought for everything we have been through for close to year here together I have earned your trust and respect. I could have sworn we told one another we would not hide anything anymore. I've stood by your side when everyone else tried to dismantle you and make you feel lower than dirt. Yet you can not do this one thing for me? You can not tell me what this is all about?"
Nyako closed her eyes and took a deep breath as she realized her tone started to get more agitated with her sister. She felt betrayed. She figured her sister had her reason, bt this refusing to tell her anything was more than she could handle. Even a small bit of info would help make things right Nyako thought.
"I promise my dear sister I will not be angry if you just tell me what is going on. I don't want to give VanReardon and others in CTN the satisfaction of knowing they tore us apart but more importantly I want you to know for everything that has happened between us in the past is history. Our bond has become stronger but it can only remain that way if we are truthful to one another."
I really did want to tell Nyako everything…what she said made sense, but she didn’t understand the seriousness of what she was asking. What I had done was for her own good, but she couldn’t see that. If I continued to lie to her, things would only get worse. I ran my fingers through my hair, pulling hard as I fought the instinct to continue to lie.
I leveled my gaze at Nyako, barely able to stop myself from trembling. “Ny…Senji didn’t die…what VanReardon said was true…” I paced back and forth, not looking her in the eye as I spoke. “What was told to her came from my therapist…a woman I had talked to in what I thought was complete confidence.”
I paused to look at Nyako, but I could see that she cared little for the details of how this had all come to light. I sighed as I continued, “Ny…Senji isn’t the boy you remember…he’s changed. I didn’t want to tell you about him…I didn’t want you trying to contact him.” I put my hand on her shoulder, giving her a small shake. “Ny…he’s no longer our brother…he’s our father’s son…far worse than our father ever was!”
I could tell that she had a tough time believing me. After all, I had lied to her from the start. What right did I have for her to think I was telling the truth now. “Ny…Senji wants me to find you…he wants me to bring you to him…I cannot do that…I WILL NEVER DO THAT!! You have to stay away…you have to forget him…if he tries to contact you, run as fast as you can!”
I watched her face as she stared back at me. I wasn’t sure that she understood the gravity of this the way that I did. I needed her to understand me…I needed her to believe me. There was more that I needed to tell her…in the hopes that she would understand. It wasn’t a lie…but I had not told her all that I knew. “Serizawa was sent here by Senji…she was sent here to make sure that I was doing all that I could to convince you to come back with me. When I found out about their connection, I arranged for her to leave.” I paced back and forth, wringing my hands. “You need to understand this Ny…you need to understand the ruthlessness of your little brother. Serizawa endeared herself to us by arranging the attack on Song…then conveniently being there to save her.”
The look of shock and anger on her face was what I wanted…was what I needed. She didn’t know Senji the way I did…and I hoped that she believed what I said and understood how dangerous he was. Trust me…I am angry about this as you are…but I didn’t learn of all the details until after I discovered who she was and what she was here for. Uzai found out and he told me everything that he had learned.”
I shook my head, “Ny…that is a small taste of what he is capable of…he has done worse…” I shivered as a coldness ran down my spine. “…he has done far worse to me…and I would spare you that Ny…”
I grabbed her by her head, pressing my forehead to hers. “PLEASE…PLEASE LET THIS GO!!!”
"Fine Kym..." Nyako said. The chill of her words could be felt as she just turned cold and numb to her sister. "If that's how you want to play it, then that's how it will be."
Before Oni could say another word Nyako walked quickly away from her sister, not wanting to hear another word from her. It wasn't the fact Oni had lied to her although that was a giant part of the pain. It was the fact that despite Nyako was willing to let things pass if she just told her everything. But still She continued to hold things back and Nyako was not right with that.
