Black Shadow: Gangster X Family
The Ian Salvatore Arc

"Okay, the intention is curious eh even the continuity of reading the novel. Where do you want to be lazy again," Chloe shook her head, Not realizing that she read a novel until she forgot the time. In the end Chloe went down the stairs while carrying her little remaining wine basket.

He intends to return the novel book in his hands to Ian, looking for the man in each room. Until his steps stopped in the living room, in the corner of the room Chloe saw Ian sitting on the side of the window frame. The man looked out, I don't know what he saw. Even though dusk has shown itself, signifying a day that will soon change night.

Chloe approached Ian, standing behind the man.

"What do you want?" Chloe flinched slightly, As the man opened his voice. Ian of course realized Chloe's presence, without even turning his head he already knew. Because the reflection of Chloe's shadow is seen in the window.

"Here, I want to return the novel, sister" Chloe put the novel in her hand.

Ian took a small glance before taking the novel, He opened it sheet by sheet making sure no leafan was torn or disappeared there.

"The novel is very exciting, I'd love it. I just didn't notice her reading of the mess," Chloe chuckled softly, Rubbing her non-itchy nape.

Ian just stared flatly, At first glance when he saw Chloe he was like seeing another figure from the girl. Have they met before? Ian's red netra switches on Chloe's red scarf. And also the scarf was like familiar to him.

"Oh yes, I also have a collection of novels even though there are not many. We could do a novel sometime, wouldn't we?" chloe smiled broadly.

"Whatever!" Ian looked away, looking back at the outside world.

"Hm...By the way Ian's not here? If I really want to go home sometimes, Kangen father same mom and my sisters because. Brother Ian how?"

DEG!

Instead of replying, Netra Ian widened a little after hearing Chloe's confession. At the same time as if a silhouette with a broken image was twisted in his mind. It was as if he had heard a familiar voice there.

"I feel like I want to get out of this world right away,"

"You're starting to not feel at home?"

"Maybe, I miss our original world,"

"Later after we get back to the real world, I promise I'll give my answer back to how you feel, Ian,"

Ian silently stared, the sounds kept spinning around his head like a broken cassette, he shook his head trying to shake off the voices and then held his head. "What was that?"

"Sister Ian...Brother Ian why?"

The man regained his senses while looking at Chloe, Chloe's face looked confused to see her. He looked back coldly while shaking slowly. "What the hell,"

Ian climbed up without saying anything he stepped away leaving the bewildered Chloe.

[Ian's Room]

Bruk!

His footsteps stopped right beside the bed, Ian then sat himself there. The Netra was staring blankly at a picture frame, a photo consisting of a small family. A little boy with black eyes flanked by two adults on his right-left side. They smiled happily at the camera.

His outstretched hand grabbed the frame then rubbed his photo slowly. "Mother's father, how are you there? Are you guys happy?"

Ian sighed, His red Netra dimmed softly. "Here I'm alone, although I have a foster family. But they...It's not the family I really want" he said.

He put the picture frame back on the nightstand, Now his mind takes him to the past where he has not lived in this dorm and before meeting with Justin and other members.

[Memory Ian]

Ian Pov's

At that time I was 8 years old, my daily activities were ordinary. Play, learn, eat, and sleep like a child my age. Sometimes I go to the playground near my house, where I spend more time reading light novels. I've loved light novels since I was that old.

As usual, I sat in the park reading my novel. But somehow those kids came along, ruined my fun.

"Oi! What are you doing here! This is our place. Just find somewhere else! Go you!" One of the boys yelled at me. But I ignore them, who are they? I've been in this park before them, after all, this is a public place not belonging to the ancestors.

"Basic loser! You shouldn't have ignored us!"

I stood up and protected my head with the novel, They kept throwing me non-stop and shouting.

"Go! Just go! Go!"

Ck! I'm so lazy to treat kids like them. I switched my novel. Wanting to fight back, I haven't had time to do the figure of a little girl suddenly standing right in front of me until stretching out her hands, She yelled at the children in front of me.

"Stop! What the fuck are you guys!" His shouting.

"What you! Want to be a bad luck hero?! You're as bad a loser as he is!" He accused the boy in front of us and pelted us.

Yoke!

The pebble hit my forehead, I stared angrily but the little girl in front of me threw it back at the children.

"You should have left!"

"Ah, he's throwing back. Let's go!"

"Just look, I'm gonna put it on my mom!"

They finally left and the little girl in front of me turned around, She said something while giving me a bandage. I don't remember what we were talking about back then, Her face felt faint. The only thing I remember was the sweet smile and the red scarf she wore.

But from that day on he kept meeting in this park, he always invited me to play even though I always ignored him. His taste was strange because now he was present around me, He also did not give up to invite me to play and talk, In the end I began to accept his presence.

****************

I'm 14 years old now, nothing special.I'm living my life as usual. The little girl no longer looks around me, which I remember her being different from my Junior High School. So I'm living life alone again.

Right now I'm helping my mom cook, well I'm just washing vegetables. If I can cook, I can only cook a simple nugget for example or ramen.

"Son, what do you think you'll graduate to be?"

"What do you want me to be?" I asked back while cutting the vegetables I had washed.

"Yes, Whatever. Mom wants Ian to be an idol" said my mom with a smile.

"OK,"

"Seriously Ian wants to be an idol?"

"Yes, Ian will try to be an idol" I said, nodding.

"Hehehe, don't be forced, son. Ian doesn't have to follow mom's wishes. It's Ian's life, so Ian's the one who decides,"

"It's okay, I want ma'am,"

"Yes, study hard, son,"

I nodded small. After the chat, my house phone rang and my mother went to pick it up. I don't know for sure what the mother and caller were talking about but I certainly heard the sound of a falling object loud enough.

BRACKET!

That's why I hurried to leave my job to find the origin of his voice, When I saw my mother fall with her eyes puffy, He cried and continued to rummage calling my father's name. That's when I realized my father was gone because of a work accident.
