Disclaimer: I don't own them or anything else JE-related. But the story is mine of course^^
Summary: Tokyo, 1981: A young bride disappears, leaving no trace but an old necklace out of jade. No one has seen her, no one knows who she is. The woman that never existed.
Tokyo, 2011: Jin, a talented photographer, is known for his sixth sense when it’s about photos and other person’s emotions. When he gets the offer to work with Tokyo’s Criminal Investigation Department, he moves to Tokyo, together with his 16-year-old brother.
There he starts to work together with the skilled, but eccentric young detective Kamenashi Kazuya.They are part of the department for Cold Cases, where forgotten and never solved cases are investigated again. Despite their first rather bad impression of each other, they soon learn that their skills complement each other almost perfectly.
The case they are working on seems mysterious, but harmless: Jade, the woman that had been erased from everyone's memory. But soon Jin and Kame realize that with this case they are awakening a sleeping lion, bringing themselves and everyone they love and care for into danger. They suddenly fall into a network of intrigues, murders and threats. On top of that they are both hiding something from each other and from everyone else... something no one is supposed to know...
“What?” Yuu stood up immediately when Jin came downstairs, the envelop in his hands.
Kame frowned, then his eyes widened in shock. “One of the threatening letters?” he asked in worry.
Jin merely shook his head. “No, but something similar mean.” He felt how his throat was burning strangely, his own hearbeat echoing in his ears. It was a strange feeling… and a not too comfortable one. “Why are they doing such a thing?”
“What kind of thing?” Kame asked carefully.
Jin didn’t answer to that, he merely put the envelope on the table, waiting until Yuu and Kame were opening it to read its content.
“What…” Kame rasped out. “I can’t believe that!”
Yuu stayed quiet for a moment, then he looked up at Jin. “Ryo is adopted?” he asked silently. “Is that true or is it a mean joke?”
Jin looked down at his fingers sadly. “It’s true. He was a baby when he was adopted.”
“Jin…” Yuu called out. “You never told me!”
“I never told anyone.” Jin said honestly. “I wasn’t allowed to.”
Kame sighed, looking at Yuu. “You were friends back then, weren’t you? Didn’t you realize?”
Yuu shook his head. “No, when we met, Jin and his family had just moved here and Ryo was already with them.” He stayed silent. “Your parents wanted to hide the adoption, am I right?”
Jin sighed, feeling miserable when he thought about how Ryo got to know this secret. “Yes, they just wanted him to grow up normal, without being teased. He should feel as a part of the family.”
“Why didn’t you tell him later?”
“How?” Jin asked helplessly. “When our…my… parents died Ryo was already 10. How was I supposed to tell him then?”
“Well…” Kame shifted around a bit. “I understand you.” he finally told Jin, smiling warmly. “It’s not that easy.”
“I agree.” Yuu tried to reassure Jin. “I’m not judging you here. I just…can’t believe it.”
“I know.” Jin sighed, rubbing over his head.
“I still think your parents should have told him.” Kame mumbled. “I mean, he has the right to know, hasn’t he? I…” he paused. “I am adopted too, you know?”
“EH!?” Jin blurt out.
“Yes.” Kame admitted silently. “They told me when I was a bit older… But I’m glad that I know.”
Jin stayed quiet. “I agree. He has the right to know. He always had the right to know. But…”
“But?” Yuu wanted to know.
“It’s not that simple.” Jin finally explained warily. “You won’t understand this, but I reassure you, it wasn’t that simple.”
The other two men frowned, exchanging some glances. But no matter how hard they tried to they couldn’t read through Jin here.
******
“Huh.” Kame blinked. “It’s dark here.”
Jin smiled tiredly. “It’s a darkroom.”
“Ah.” Kame pretended to be surprised. “Hence it’s dark.”
Jin stayed quiet for a moment, then he had to smile. “You really don’t know how to comfort someone, right?”
“Sorry.” Kame stuttered, glad that Jin couldn’t see his blush.
Jin smiled warmly, his hand moving over Kame’s cheek. “You blushed, am I right? Your face is kinda hot.”
“Oh…you…” Kame grumbled, grinning a bit when Jin pulled him into a hug.
“You know…” Jin mumbled into Kame’s hair. “I don’t want to have this talk with my brother. I seriously don’t want to. I wished I could avoid it.”
“You can’t.” Kame answered firmly. “I’m sorry, but you can’t… He needs to know.”
“You are right…” Jin mumbled.
“What are you hiding, Jin?” Kame asked bluntly, after Jin had stayed quiet for a moment.
“What are YOU hiding, Kazuya?” Jin asked back.
Kame grew pale at that, realizing that Jin was seeing much more than he thought he had. “I can’t tell you yet…” he stuttered.
“I know.” Jin told him insistently. “But didn’t you learn today? Everything about us can be used…against us. Like today. I never thought someone would do something so mean. Ryo is a kid. This person didn’t go against me, he or she went against a kid.”
“I know.” Kame admitted tiredly. “But… I can’t. Not yet.” He couldn’t tell Jin. No way. How should he? If Jin got to know, he would be furious for sure. He would hate him. Everything was Kame’s fault after all.
Kame coughed a bit to distract Jin. “Are you making any progress with the photos?”
Jin grinned. “Impatient brat.” he teased. “Yes, it’s progressing. But it will still need a few hours till I finished them.”
“Great.” Kame nodded his head, grabbing Jin’s hand. “Time enough to talk to your brother. So stop hiding here.”
“I didn’t know you are so pushy.” Jin grumbled.
Kame grinned, grabbing Jin’s face and pulling him into a heated kiss. “You will wonder…” he whispered against Jin’s lips. “How pushy I can be.”
“Uhuu, I think you still need to convince me.” Jin chuckled slightly, wrapping his arms around Kame’s hips and forcing him to sit down at the little desk in the room. Kame wrapped his legs around Jin, rubbing them against his back teasingly, while his tongue was moving over Jin’s neck. Then he suddenly let go of Jin, grinning devilish. “Later.” he told Jin teasingly. “I’ll give you that later. After you stopped avoiding this talk on Ryo.”
Jin sighed. “You really are pushy.” he complained, then he smiled warily. “But you are right. I can’t concentrate on sex right now.”
“Told you.” Kame smiled.
“Just how am I going to get into Ryo’s room?” Jin asked helplessly, a frown of worry on his forehead again.
Kame rolled his eyes a bit, then he chuckled. “Don’t you have a ladder in your garden?”
“Eh?” Jin blinked, wondering what Kame meant with that, then he suddenly smirked. “Really… what a surprising guy you are.”
******
Ryo had the shock of his life when Jin knocked at his window. He jumped up from the floor where he had been sitting since hours, opening the window. “Are you crazy” he yelled. “That’s dangerous. That’s the second floor here.”
Jin smiled, crawling into Ryo’s room, not without slipping and dropping to the floor of course. He rubbed over his knee while he got up. “Good that Kazuya-kun is doing all the sportive and athletic parts of our job. I would fail badly. But however…” he smiled proudly. “Now I can finally talk to you.”
Ryo grew pale out of a sudden. When he had seen Jin in front of his window, he had been too shocked to think about what was going on. But now he realized that he had just let his brother, or whatever he was, into his room… He sighed. “You won’t leave me alone, am I right?” Ryo asked grumpily.
Jin smiled warily, shaking his head before he dropped down on the sofa. “I won’t.”
Ryo sighed deeply, sitting down on his bed. He stayed quiet for a moment, then he pulled his knees up, resting his head against them. “You knew it, am I right?” he finally asked, in a tune that normally Jin would have scolded him for, but now he couldn’t help but think that Ryo had every right to be angry.
Jin looked down at his fingers, wondering how he should get himself out of this. In the end he decided to be as honest as possible. “Yes…”
“Since when?”
“Ryo…that doesn’t matter.” Jin tried to sooth the younger one.
“It does!” Ryo blurt out, his eyes sparkling in fury. “My whole life has been a lie!”
“It’s not important if you are adopted or not.” Jin told him carefully. “Important is that we are family, no matter what. Who cares about blood?”
“But everyone I love has lied to me.” Ryo answered silently.
Jin flinched a bit at that, licking over his lips nervously. “No one told you, because everyone loves you…”
“That’s a lame excuse and a really vague one.” Ryo hissed. “And you know that! Give me something better!”
“Ryo-chan…?”
“What?”
“Do you love me?” Jin asked warmly.
Ryo sighed at that. “Of course, you are my brother... or something like that.”
“Shouldn’t this bond be more important than our blood-line?” Jin asked carefully.
Ryo stayed quiet for a moment, then he sighed tiredly. “Of course that’s more important.” he admitted silently. “But this doesn’t change the fact that I was lied to till now…”
“I wasn’t allowed to tell you.” Jin admitted carefully. “I couldn’t. And later, when I could have told you, I never thought of it anymore. After all this time… I couldn’t come out with the truth anymore. For me it was never important that we weren’t related. I just wanted to have you at my side.”
Ryo sighed, feeling a bit taken aback by that simple explanation. “They forbid you tell me? Mom and Dad did something like that?”
“It never mattered to our parents that you were adopted. You were their son. In the end they just wanted to protect you from being hurt. That’s the reason I wasn’t allowed to say anything.” Jin explained, a strange expression on his face, something Ryo couldn’t really read. He frowned, checking Jin carefully. Apparently this here was going deeper than he thought it was. Jin smiled a bit now, the troubled expression away immediately. “Besides that you were the better son than I was… Mom and Dad adored you so much. I was just the troublesome kid.”
“Jin…” Ryo mumbled silently. “That’s not true, you know that.”
“It is true.” Jin told the younger one. “They loved you so much. And I’m so glad about that. But truth is, until you came I was so lonely. You were my everything, from the first moment you were with us. Other boys in my class wished for a gameboy or a bicycle, but I was the happiest amongst them, because I finally got a brother.”
For a moment Jin looked almost fragile, making Ryo blink in surprise. He stood up to sit down next to his brother, hugging him. “I cherished you too. Always. You are my big brother after all.”
Jin smiled happily at that. “Really? Though we are not related?”
“Yes.” Ryo looked down at his fingers, before he frowned. “I CAN’T BELIEVE THAT I AM THE ONE COMFORTING YOU NOW!” he huffed. “Stupid brother!”
Jin had to chuckle a bit. “It’s just like us, right? To do things that way…”
“Maybe.” Ryo rubbed over his head tiredly. “I hate to be lied to. I won't forget or forgive that so easily…”
“I know. I hate it too.” Jin smiled, brushing through his hair nervously.
“I need some time to get used to that and accept it completely. You need to give me that time, okay?”
"I understand."
Ryo nodded, before he tilted his head a bit. “Do you know anything about my real parents?”
“No.” Jin put his arms around his brother’s shoulders. “I’m sorry.”
“You are hiding something, am I right?” Ryo asked bluntly.
Jin smiled sadly, taking Ryo’s hand and looked at him insistently. “Yes, but I can’t tell you yet. Believe me that I can’t.”
“Why?”
Jin rubbed over his hairs a bit. “It still might be dangerous for you to know. But I promise you that when I figured things out, I will tell you everything”
Ryo blinked at this cryptic explanation, before he leaned back a bit. He was too surprised to argue with Jin about this here now. What was going on here?
“Everything alright?” Kame asked sympathetically when Jin came downstairs.
“No, but we are working on it.” Jin answered, smiling a bit. He rested his hands on Kame’s shoulders, placing a kiss on the top of the other’s head.
“Is Ryo coming down too?” Yuu interrupted them. “We didn’t have dinner yet.”
“He said he isn’t hungry.” Jin explained him.
Yuu crossed his arms in front of his body, glaring. “Oh, he said that, really!? None of you two cherishes the work I am doing here.” he complained. “I’m having a hard time cooking for you and preparing something you like.” He walked towards the staircase. “Come downstairs young man and eat your dinner!” Yuu frowned out of a sudden, blushing a bit when he saw how Kame and Jin were grinning. “And I don’t want to hear one single stupid remark from one of you two about how I just sounded like a housewife!” he grumbled, blushing deeply.
Kame and Jin stayed silent for a moment, before they burst into laughter. When Kame saw Yuu’s embarrassment, he felt sorry out of a sudden, deciding to offer his help.
Jin watched how his two friends disappeared into the kitchen and suddenly he felt alone. The gloomy feeling that was only diffused when Ryo was around him, or Kame, or Yuu was there again.
Jin sighed nervously, his hands angling for something in his pocket… for a well-known envelope. Not the one Ryo got, another one… addressed to Jin. He hadn’t told Kame or Yuu about it. But its content made his head hurt like crazy.
Stop your investigation, Akanishi Jin. I know your secret! Wasn’t your brother hurt enough?
Pairing: Akame. RyoxJin as brothers (not as a pairing). Various other characters.

Somehow it fits. ^^ And I can totally imagine Kame and Jin bursting into laughter. ^^
I really loved the scene in the darkroom. It's so intense between them, even though there are so many secrets unsolved till now. I really love that Jin is patient, even though he maybe could shake Kame, because he wants to know what's going on.
Jin smiled warmly, his hand moving over Kame’s cheek. “You blushed, am I right? Your face is kinda hot.”
I totally fall for this line, because it's kind of touching someone to know what he feels. Getting the other's mood without touching him, that's totally great.
I have some theories, but I don't know if they are totally totally stupid or not...but maybe I should just tell you what I think how it could go on, even though you won't answer to this of course. ^^
I have some thoughts about Ryo and his adoption. I can imagine that it is connected with Kame's family, and he is maybe Kame's brother, but that's a bit...yes, I don't know...it's something which came to my mind....or Ryo is connected to Jade, that's the other thought I had. But I think some comments ago I thought that Kame is connected to her...or maybe Kame and Ryo are...I don't know, that was what came up to my mind.
The thing that Kame thinks that Jin will hate him when he knows about Kame made me a bit sad...that's not a good sign...I can imagine that someone is involved in these letters and threats, who is connected with Kame. Maybe his father? I think that Kame maybe knows about everything?
Or Kame just knows that the guys who are after him are also after Jin now. I don't know, but that wouldn't make Jin hate Kame. So there must be something really bad what Kame is hiding here...
I am curious what it is.
I totally loved the brother scene. <3 Oh god, of course it was Kame's idea to go through the window...>< Poor Jin. *lol* But I can also imagine Ryo getting a heart attack when someone knocks on his window. ^^
It's so sweet how they act, really. I so loved the change in their personalities you crreated. It's one of the rare times Ryo was the "hard" one, and Jin the weak one. Jin showed his breakable side, and Ryo was the mature one, even though he is the younger one. I totally liked this switch.
Oh, and I so loved one line here:
You were my everything, from the first moment you were with us. Other boys in my class wished for a gameboy or a bicycle, but I was the happiest amongst them, because I finally got a brother.
That is so sweet - I totally don't find any words for it. I can imagine little Jin standing at the window, waiting for his parents to bring home the little bunch called Ryo...<3
I am glad that they don't make it a big thing, even though Ryo is of course shocked and hurt, that's only natural I think.
I am curious what is behind his adoption....there is something...
Oh, and Kame is adopted too? That's so sad, because it seems he wasn't lucky with his new parents.
the last line made me shiver...I am really curious what this is about....it sounds so bad, and I really hope they can manage it to solve the case, and to hold on each other here. <3
In the end they need each other, and somehow also Kame became a part of their family, right? They all stuck together. ^^ I like that.
I totally love that story, but I think you know that already. ^^ Thanks soooo much for this update, I am totally looking forward to the next one.

Such a long comment, girl :D But I'm so happy that you like this story <3
Yuu is the mommy, right? Totally! Well, he cooks all the day, the boys better appreciate it :D
Kame and Jin grew really close, they even know that the other is hiding something. They just don't know what it is... yet.
I love your theories but I can't answer to them ^^ It would ruin the fun for you. So I'll stay quiet here ^^
I'm glad you liked the scene between Ryo and Jin. They are brothers, no matter what. To be related by blood isn't that important.
Thanks so much for your amazing comment, dear!!!!!!

anyway, so there. my heart was still aching for ryo. really, that was the worst way to find out that he's adopted :( i really understand how he must have felt- crushed and alone ;(
so jin never told anyone and he was not allowed to tell anyone? i wonder why. well, he's right. the parents must have wanted ryo to feel normal. but then, i know that it's not that all. yuu and kame felt it too, right?? oh! so kame is adopted, too! that's something. so maybe he's connected to the jade woman that's why he wants to solve the case and his sir/father is his foster father and he just wants kame to stop the investigation? hmm! i'm not sure because right now, i'm really having A LOT of theories regarding who is the one among these three guys is connected to the jade woman! you're really confusing me, and i like it! i wonder what among these assumptions are true! i just wonder why it's not that simple, jin's keepin a really really huge and dangerous secret, right? and it involves ryo. i wonder how things are going after this.
i'm glad that kame pushed jin to talk with ryo. and that WHAT ARE YOU HIDING moment was kind of intense. so it's clear now that they are both hiding huge things from each other, right? but jin's secret had nothing to do with kazauya but kazuya's might make jin furious? does that involve the brother especially ryo? does kazuya know about the brothers more than jin thought? i really wonder about these secrets and they are making me go insane. i wonder how they will ifnd out about these secrets of each other and how they will react upon knowing it. so kame thinks this is his fault. we now go back to the prologue when jin was telling him that it isn't his fault no matter how he thinks it is. but ryo will be missing, right? i wonder what will happen.
i understand that it will hurt jin more if these people pick on ryo. it's just that ryo's a kid and they';re palying with his feelings. AND there's a hint of truth and it isn't just a simple act of bullying. i'm starting to think that everything's actually centered on ryo now?> i don't know, really. could ryo be connected to the jade woman? because it's dangerous for him to know about his real parents, right? i'm really so intrigued by this! i have a lot of things in my mind but i can't pick what to raise right now! but i know it's getting more and more serious. they better be aler,t i guess?
ryo and jin are just so cute. and ryo ends up being the oneto comfrot his brother. i guess it just shows how tight their bond is, right? ryo really lveos jin and jin definitely loves ryo with all his heart. i super love the part where he was saying that the other boys in his class were wishing for gameboy and bicycle but he was the happiest because he finally got a brother. that was the sweetest thing ever! and ryo saying htat jin's not really the problem child, is sweet too! these guys are just mmaking my heart melt ;( it's both sad and sweet. sweet because of the obvious but sad because jin was still left ot not tell ryo everything even though it's already ben revealed that he is adopted. and it seems that ryo still doesn't realize that they are actually in a dangerous situation. he's still innocent and i hope that doesn't put him too much in trouble. but i guess it's inevitable. maybe the least thing right now is to know why knowing his parents is not as easy as it can be. but nevertheless, i amm really happy about jin and ryo being in good terms despite of this :)
no subject
and jin, he has another letter? damn! this makes me think of kazuya's father again. i don't know. it can be him or the bad guys, really. if they're not one. anyway,
Stop your investigation, Akanishi Jin. I know your secret! Wasn’t your brother hurt enough?
okay, so i know these people want jin to stop the investigation. just what is jin's secret? it is still about ryo, right? "wasn't your brother hurt enough??" hmm i think it's really about ryo. ENOUGH is the hint. i guess there's still a lot and huge of things that could crush the little boy's feelings here. and worse, put him in a really dangerous situation.
oh my god, i wrote another long comment. i'm sorry! but you know, this is jade and i will always comment long her :D :D the delivery of this chapter was rather calm but then it's such a cliffhanger in the end so i'm once again asking for a fast update for this. it's just 5 chapters and things are slowly getting revealed. please just don't make ittoo hard for me to wait. i know things here are about ryo so please don't torture me that much. :)))))) thanks so much for this chpter, dear! i totally love it with alll my heart! i love it like a fat kid loves cake!
okay, so the comment was too long. i had to comment the last parts again. sorry about that! i just love this story so much!

I'm so happy you like this story!!
And yes, I also feel sorry for Ryo. This is really a blow, right? To get to know that he is adopted... out of a stupid letter and not from Jin himself ><
Well, there is a reason why Jin wasn't allowed to tell anyonet hat Ryo is adopted. We'll hear about that later :D
I think Kame and Jin need to get a grip too and talk about their secrets. And you pointed out something really important: Jin is afraid to spill his secret, but for Kame is even more difficult because his secret might make Jin feel angry.
So it seems like these are two very different secrets, right? ^^
I'm so happy you like Yuu! I have so much fun writing him, because he is such an amazing guy <3
He is like Jin's and Ryo's mommy <3
I'm so glad you liked the scene between Jin and Ryo. It was so difficult to write >< And Jin truly loves Ryo, blood-related or not doesn't matter for him. They always cherished each other <3
Thanks so much for reading and commenting!! *huuuuuuuuuugs*
I will try to update soon <3

Jin finally tells Kazuya that he knows that he is hiding something from him. I feel that this is important to their relationship. Especially since all their lives are in danger. I still remember the beginning :D
And poor Ryo--his whole world is shaken up. But I love that he has such a bond with Jin that he can find it in his heart to trust his brother and hold onto his love--even though he will not forget being lied to so easily. They can move on now.
But even when i think you have given us all the pieces of the puzzle--even though we cannot put them together yet--you give us a new one. What is Jin hiding now? Off to the next.
Thanks for the spot by the way and I love love the userpic.
Hugs, hearts,and fans and air conditioners--it is hot here.:D:D:D<3<3<3

Yes, Jin was definitely in a difficult position. He couldn't tell Ryo that he was adopted, and later, when he could... I think you explained this in a beautiful way <3
For Ryo it's difficult. He has believed in everything his parents and Jin told him... but now he realizes that they lied to him. Of course his bond to his brother is very strong, but I guess he will need some time to get over this...

Kame is a smart guy, right? :D Good that Jin had him around, otherwise he would still knock at Ryo's door instead of being inside his room and talking to him ^^

And I am just dying to find out what Akame are hiding!!! Their secrets must be crucial for their future - I just pray, you didn't come with a devilish idea to make them real brothers, lol. I would be really crying my heart out if such love/relationship is wasted. I want them to live happily ever after and keep kittens and puppies and... I'd better go to sleep, I start mumbling, lol
Pls, update soon :D

Yes, poor Ryo...this for sure came as a shock for him >< But you are right, related or not, they are brothers.

I'M GONNA RANT~ I'M GONNA RANT~ I DONT CARE BECOZ I TOTALLY DESERVE IT~ *giggles*
First off, OMG YOU'RE SO BRILLIANT~ YOU TOTALLY GOT ME HERE~ That... Or maybe my mind is the one too complicated~ LORD ABOUT THAT PROFESSOR THAT COMMIT SUICIDE~!! HE WAS LIKE THE MOST BRILLIANT CHARACTER EVER~ Like, c'mon, do you even BOTHER to make clues for them if you plan for suicide?? But yeah, he must have feel guilty for what he did, but he's brilliant~ Like, no one can blame him coz he commit suicide, but he secretly left huge clues behind~ Oh heck, I LOVE HOW AWESOME HE IS~!!! And credits to Akame, coz they are awesome to find those out~ Nyahaha~ XD XD XD
AND YOUUUU~~ *squints* You're playing with my RyoUchi fangirling~ *dramatic cries* They are jeuuuu cute~~ Ryo running away from house and sleep on Uchi's lap~ *squeaaaaaaaals around* I CAN TOTALLY IMAGINE THAT~ *ish a happy fangirl* But, awww, poor Jin... He's like a total mess inside... I do think he bears too much on his own though... He should share his problems to make it lighter... But ugh... true, his job isnt the type he can simply pull away a friend and whisper problems... *sobs* I totally understand... sometimes I'm stuck between the verge too~ But Jin must have hurt so much inside, when he was worrying too much for his brother, too much that it made him burst... and end up fighting with Ryo, especially when Ryo is like everything he had in his life... And Ryo hating him, and awww~ *huggles Jin* He didnt mean any harm, I know... Part of me I wish Ryo could understand Jin more... But then Ryo wouldnt understand if Jin doesnt talk... And there goes the circle again... I feel so bad to the brothers~ Ryo must have feel like Jin changed since he started the investigation... Oh my heart~ ;_________________________;
I love how Ryo isnt the touchy type, and he try to kick Jin away when Jin tried to hug him~ *cuddles with Ryo* That is choooooo kawaiiii~ And call me weird, but I CAN TOTALLY IMAGINE RYO DOING THAT TO JIN~ NYAHAHA~ AND, AND, AND THEN~ Ryo teasing Jin with Kame~~ *rolls around* How cool these two brothers can be?? *_________________*
And call me weird but... I feel like Kame can think more clearly when Jin is.. *cough* all over him.. Y'know... LOOOL~ Dont blame me... It's like, everytime Jin was kissing him and try to have him on bed, Kame suddenly got the clue~ Like when they find out the woman is alive~ XP
Oh, and have I tell you how much I looooooooove RyoJin's parents?? XD XD XD
Or maybe it's just becoz RyoJin are two awesome nice children that their parents had no idea what to scold them for?? LOOOL~
And Yuu is such a naughty boooy~~ XD XD XD
Jin is jeuuuuuuu funny, planning to ground Ryo but he has no idea how grounding a kid is like~ LOOOOOOOOL~ And Ryo is jeuuuuuuuu cute to follow the punishment~ Okay... That's not cute, he was supposed to follow the big bro's order... but stilllll~~ XDDDD
The scene where Kame came out from an expensive car, which I assume the one inside his car is his father... I dont know why but I still think Kame is the son of that missing woman, and that his father was the one being involve in this kidnapping mystery... I just couldnt figure out why Jin would get mad at him... Plus, if I guessed right, I dont think Kame knew about it~ I'm still curious...
no subject
Aww, I'm CURIOUS~!!! XD XD XD
What?? What else that Jin kept as secret from Ryo?? What more can hurt Ryo moooore?? ;____________;
I feel sorry when Ryo know the truth that he's being adopted... normal reaction though... of course it would feel depressing~ But I cant believe Jin had this inferiority towards his adopted brother~ LOL~ Good job Ryo, cheering his bro becoz he finally knew he's adopted~ Haisy~ I still feel it awkward that Ryo was the one comforting Jin about it, but hey~ I LOVE THAT SCENE~!!! XD XD XD
My honest feeling though, that culprit is a major coward... Using a kid like Ryo as a threat for Jin... Such a filthy try... *curse endlessly*
And NO~ Not becoz Ryo is my bias... I simply dont like how people involve innocent people or abuse powers just to win... Major coward~!! They should fight fair and square and asdfjgkdhyejsganj~!!!

And THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR AWESOME COMMENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
And I'm so happy you liked it <3
*gggg* Glad your RyoUchi heart is beating faster :D
The two brothers were really going through a lot of troubles right? Jin couldn't tell Ryo or Yuu about what was going on, he wanted them to be safe and feel safe, but in the end he hurt his little brother with this ><
*lol* I know, Jin fails at grounding Ryo :D He just never did that before and doesn't know how he punishes a kid ^^
I'm so happy you like the scenes with the brothers. All the loving and fighting and how they solved their problems. And yes, poor Ryo got to know that he is adoped... by reading this letter >< Poor kid! It was really mean, wasn't it?
*laughs* Maybe you are right and Kame can really think clearer when Jin is next to him... over him... *coughs* However :D
They made quite some progress with this case, right? And with each other.
And yes they both have another secret. Kame fears to tell Jin his... and Jin has problems with his own secret ><
Thanks so much for your AMAZING comment!! You made me so happy with it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
