episode 4

susu laughed heartily feeling very free with yuko but he just gave her a death defying look and left

' Yuko scares me these days' she thought as she was cleaning up the flower vase

' Did I do something wrong?'

Yuko on the other hand was in her room going through the pictures on the wall and table when a certain picture caught his eye, the picture in particular was an old photo of a young girl who looked cheerful and happy with her parents whose bright smiles already show that they are more than happy, yuko stared at this for a while, he had never really had a happy home before, mom and dad were always arguing, siblings were always fighting, then dad killed mom and blamed it on his most trusted and loyal soldier , his life in the kingdom wasn't as problem free as you'd expect as there was no love, it was all just a facade so that the people of the kingdom don't panic but in reality even the people knew something was up.

" What are you doing? " susu just walked in

" Who is this? " yuko said ignoring her question still staring at the picture

" Oh... That... it's a picture of me when I was younger, when my parents were alive"

" You? "

" Yeah I think I was about 6 then, a little before mom died"

" H- how did she die?"

" Hmm well, she was pregnant for my baby Sister and on one night my dad left me with my baby sitter and went to the hospital in a haste with mom, when he came back... mom wasn't with him when I asked he just said mom was gone. I didn't understand but later I heard him talking to my baby sitter telling her that the baby didn't make it, and neither did mom"

" Oh, I'm sorry"

" It's fine " susu lied. a small tear rolled down her cheek seeing this yuko leaned closer an hugged her, forgetting his angry facade and to this susu was shocked but glad. Yuko realized what he was doing and let go he glared at her and left

" hmmmmm" susu sighed ' It's getting late I should go to bed' she thought to herself

...----------------...

susu had her bath and was dressed in pale pink pyjamas with matching pink panda slippers which was all suitable for the calm cold night

she laid down on the comfortable bed staring at the picture, then she began to cry, slowly she cried herself to sleep while hugging her tear soaked pillow saddens was very visible in her posture.

Yuko was wandering around the house not knowing what to do, he passed by Susu's room and found her in tears hugging her pillow as emptiness and saddens was all he could see " Stupid girl" he said with an annoyed look " You shouldn't cry like a baby, you're so vounerable " then taking another glance at her he saw himself as a child crying with no one to help, mom and dad were arguing and dad was beating her siblings were beating up themselves and he sat alone in his chamber crying " No...you won't be alone, not like how I was" saying this he layed down beside her, she was even crying in her sleep, he held her in his arms, her head resting on his chest she suddenly let out a sigh of calmness as she slept peacefully the rest of the night.
