Title: Brother : Mistake
Series: Kamen Rider Gaim
Characters: Kureshima Mitsuzane, mentions of Kureshima Takatora
Summary: He refused to accept it as a mistake.
-------------------------
In which it hurts him when he finally able to see the other side of his brother that he never saw before.
He thought by finally allowing him in, his brother would treat him as an equal. Because all he ever wanted was for his brother to consider him to be important as he considered his brother was. He didn’t fault his brother though.
But it annoyed him… seeing his brother’s subordinates acting on their own. It annoyed him too, when his friends could not see that everything his brother have done was for everyone’s sake. It annoyed him, when people did not regard his brother as highly as he did.
And it hurts… to watch his brother struggling alone against all odds.
He respected his brother a lot. That’s why… even when his brother told him do things that he didn't want to do, he’d abide to it. Because his brother said so. And since his brother said so, his brother must be correct.
Kureshima Takatora was the person he aspired to be. He was perfect in everything. That’s why… someone like that cannot make a mistake. It was not possible. It’s not possible for someone as great as his brother to make a mistake!
But he did… made a mistake. His brother did. He shouldn’t have been so lenient. He should have done something about Kouta-san before that person ruined someone else. Like Kouta-san ruined him, Ryoma-san… Mai-san! He should have stopped Kouta-san from meeting his brother at all cost!
Because that mistake… cost him with too high a price.
He had to watch the great figure that was his brother, fall to ruin. Because of Kouta he had to continue on… fighting alone. He hated Kouta even more because of that. He hated his brother for leaving him alone to fend for himself.
Even worse, to find out his brother had survived the fall… but didn’t come back to him sooner. And to see his brother… siding with Kouta. The very person that caused his brother to drop his guard and be betrayed.

“You are my shadow. You’re every mistake I’ve ever made.”
His heart ached when he heard his brother spoke those words.
Why did you have to say it like that? Are you saying I’m nothing but a shadow? Are you saying that I’m just a mistake? Nothing more than that? Then what AM I?
“If I am your shadow…”
If that’s all you see about me…
“That means… I can’t be real until you’re gone!”
Are you fine with that, nii-san? That means that only ONE of us can be allowed to live. What of me? What if I want to live? Must I kill you?
His heart felt like being torn to shreds. Even as he spoke, it hurt him to think that it was inevitable that he HAD to kill his brother. In order to live. Because that’s what being a shadow meant.
He thought his existence mattered to his brother. He thought he mattered. But now his brother was telling him that he was just a shadow.

He thought he felt something pricked. Something was broken, somewhere.
What was it?

‘Cut out the useless things… then your life will be complete.’
‘...noblesse oblige…’
Was all that spoken to him before… all lies? Are you saying all that lines of thoughts… was a mistake?
‘...every mistake that I’ve made.’
Then, nii-san… had been mistaken before?
Was that even possible? For his brother to be wrong? Made a mistake? Not just the one that lead to his brother’s betrayal, but everything else that transpired before? How could THAT be wrong? He had followed everything that his brother thoughts him, and that led him to his alliance with Redyue. And that was the right move.
Because Roshuo was all too powerful.
Was that… wrong, too? When his decision could save more people than what the initial estimate had been?
THAT CAN’T BE WRONG!
The old nii-san wouldn’t have said all these things. The old nii-san would have agreed with what he’s doing.
Nii-san got to be like this because of Kouta. Nii-san didn’t listen to him because of Kouta!
Micchi removed the energy lockseed from his Driver and attached it onto the slot on his Sonic Arrow.
He was wrong? That can’t be possible!
He was not his brother’s mistake!
