"I have lost count of the number of times I've met you and lost you. But even now......I still love you."- Sad Anime Quotes
Aaron Eosphoros's POV
"Number One"
I heard Yako gasp from behind me as I said the name of the person in front of me as I turn to his direction. The person smirk at me and nod.
"Hey Aaron." I look at him in surprise and look like a goldfish, gasping at Number One. Yako looks closely and realize who is the person who is Number One. "Allen Miller." The said person smirk at Yako.
"Exactly. I am Allen Miller, the person who is called Number One in the Supernatural gang, Xurenth. I am 26 years old now and I was a top student five years before you and was like Aaron, always being isolated and in the end, I made the gang to help those supernaturals to not feel alone. I met Aaron when he was 12 when he first came to me and trained him personally to be Number Two." The others look at Aaron who look down at the floor, embarrassed.
"That's how you become so strong." Yako exclaim and I just blush even more. Allen laughs and just pat me on my back. I give him my signature death glare and he back away while putting his hands in the air.
"Younger Bro, you don't have to do that you know." I sigh and turn to him. "Seriously big bro. You shouldn't just pat me on my back. You know that I am very sensitive at that part." I whine and Allen just laughs.
"I know. You're still the same as the time we first met." I smile in nostalgia as I remember the times where Allen and I learn about each other and the times when we go for our missions. Allen grin and put his arm around my shoulder and I laugh but after that I suddenly shift to serious mode.
"Anyways, Allen, nice to see you again and all those stuff but why are you here? Normally you are always behind the scenes." Allen's expression suddenly changes into a one with sadness while looking at me.
"Aaron, one reason is because I want you to be back to our group and the second reason a certain someone want us to kill you. I don't want to come but because that certain someone ordered me to come that I have no choice but to come here to kill you." Allen look at me with a crestfallen look and my emotion change from seriousness to sadness.
"Allen, you know I don't wanna kill you right?" Allen just nod sadly at me." I never wanna kill you too Aaron but we both don't have a choice." I nod and my expression change to serious mode.
"Allen, I will fight you. Let's give all we got." Allen nod and grin. "That's more like it, Aaron!" Allen's blade clashes into mine and so our deadly dance of death begins.

I clash my swords in sync with Allen's as we both begin with simple and slow movements for the others to keep up. As I switch from attacking to defending position, Allen begin to pick up the pace.
Clang!
Our swords collide again as Allen try to go through my defenses but knowing me, I manage to make the chance of him scoring me a critical wound decrease. He smirk and I nod and we switch places again, this time with me attacking. I fake slash at Allen and seeing this, Allen quickly recover his footwork and slashed at me, trying to make me loose focus on my footwork but I manage to block the attack while maintaining my footwork. He smirk at me and I grin.
"You have improved a lot. I am really surprise Aaron." Allen say and I just look at him, amused.
"Uh duh. I guess years of training really get this into you huh." I say and Allen laughs. Grinning, we both pick up the speed and block and defend, trying to get the better of the other until he attack and I block. I take the block as a leverage to kick Allen away from me as I push hard with my sword. Allen stumble back and smile, wiping his blood using his sleeve of his shirt as he grin at me.
"Now this is the real fight Aaron. You finally figured out about my fighting style!" Allen smirk and start to strike at me again. I smirk back and start to do a counter attack, doing a disarming trick that I learned when I fought with him back when we were buddies in the gang. I put my sword in front of his throat, bitting back tears as I look down at him. He smile and close his eyes as I strike him at his heart. I kneel down beside him and weep as he smile at me and all the others start to surround me. He take out a bag from his pocket and give it to me. Inside there is a bracelet with the bird charm that I had wanted all those years ago.
"Aaron, I still remember the time you stared at the jewellery weapons' shop, wanting the bracelet but cannot buy it as it was too expensive. I bought it from the sales woman and told her it was a gift to you. I'm sorry I could not give it to you sooner." I start to cry and tug his shirt collar as I do.
"D-Don't apologise. I-It is my fault. I....I...I wasn't strong enough to save you and to defy your fate." Allen gently put his hand on the side of my face.
"Aaron, promise me one thing. Promise me that you will move on and never beat yourself up for killing me. Can you do that?" Allen ask me and I nod, clearly show him that I promise. He smile softly at me.
"I didn't tell you this. I.....love you..... as..... my younger..... brother....., Aaron....." Allen's voice fades at the end as he say the ending part of what he say and I sob, yelling out at the sky for the fate that Allen don't deserve.
-----at the mini grave that Aaron made for Allen---
I stare at Allen's grave as the rain falls , heart numb by the sadness of Allen's death and oblivious to the cold as my friends and Allen's family surround me. They stand in silence as they think of how I will react. I step forward and look at the bunch of flowers that grow beside his grave. I take a bunch of them and kneel in front of his grave and place the flowers in front of the tombstone.
"Allen, I am grateful I have met you......" I start as I look at his grave, smiling sadly at the tombstone that is taller than he was in life.
"I-I am so thankful for you to be in my life. You taught me how to fight, how to defend myself, how to love, how to be myself again and most of all, how to trust someone again. I still remember the fights that we had while we were in the gang but in the end, you were right about everything. I was reckless and always let myself be in tight situations. You were the one who made me realise that. You were also the one who told me to do what I want to do and look at me right now." I laugh then sob, clutching my hands tightly around my waist.
"There are things that I wanted you to know as well. Things that I have been keeping secret from you and the rest of my teammates." I lower my head in sadness and pain as I try to keep my tears in as I reveal the words that I want to say but haven't say in years.
"I love you as my older brother, Allen. Rest in peace." I look away from Allen's tombstone trying to hold back my tears as I walk towards the group. I see Allen's parents open their arms to hug me. I look at the others and they back up respectively as I collapse into the hug of Allen's parents, crying as they hold me.
