It was late noon as we saw the group patched up and sitting in the living room with some food. Ukitsu, Ryomou, and Hakufu were sitting next to Haru as he was asleep in a bed with his head on Ukitsu's lap as she lightly brushes his hair. Hakufu was giving Ukitsu the stink eye for it but she waved it off. Even Ryomou felt a little jealous but doesn't know why, but she pushed it to the side for now.
"Now that we are patched up and had some food in our stomach, let's begin with the bombardment of questions we know you all have for us, whose first?" Ignir with a slight chuckle.
"Who or what are you guys?" Saji asked first.
"The most direct and common one, well as stated before, we are dragons. An ancient race of species that has lived on this earth for billions of years. We've thrived, overcome, and survived the planet's most harsh test that many other species succumbed with the many obstacles from the environment, the constant change of the world, and other creatures till we eventually became one of the alphas of this planet. Over the years our kind has learned and master many abilities and powers you saw, but that was only the surface of what we can do." Laufey said.
"This is so unreal, dragons actually exist! What other myths are real?" Hakufu asks.
"Many but that's for another time, the point is you now know we exist and so our enemies. You all have enter a world unlike you can dream of. And now the question we must ask is, do you want out?"
"What do you mean?" Koukin ask.
"There is still time for all of you to back out of this. We can make these last few days disappear, like waking up from a dream. But most importantly, none of you will face Crnobog or the likes of him anymore. You'll all be safe and will return to your normal lives. We can spare all of you from the pain and horrors that will sure to come. But that also mean we'll be gone too." Ignir explained.
"Gone, as in we'll never see you guys again?" Gakushuu asks.
"Yes and that includes the child too. He'll be gone as well and you'll all forget we existed. We will take him and train him in the ways of the dragon to prepare him for the upcoming battle with Crnobog and whatever else that may come. Please think this through cause—"
"LIKE HELL I WANT THAT!" Hakufu shouted, interrupting Laufey.
"Hakufu, what's wrong?" Goei asks.
"I'm not going to just forget Haru-kun existed! He's been alone for god knows how long and I'll be damned if I let him continue to be that way. I made a promise to him we'll be friends and I going to keep that promise. He deserves to have a happy life from all the shit he's been through. I can't imagine the life he had so far, being alone, having no one, and feeling like an outsider. I'm going to be with him and show him that he'll never be like that ever again."
"Same with me, I don't know him that well but from what the others have told me about him he is a very sweet and kind hearted kid that has been living on the streets and hunted down like an animal. I want to be one of the people he can count on and be the shoulder he needs. He went out of his way to stop those scums from hurting us even at the time he knew he wouldn't be able to defeat him. He risked his life to help us so I owe it to him to be there when he needs me." Ukitsu said.
"Haru-kun knows what it's like to have a heavy burden and he walks with all alone, but that's going to change right here and now. I want to be there for him as well, he came to see me at the hospital the other day to make sure I was ok. I was stun that he went out of his way to do that since I hurt Hakufu-san here. He actually cared for my wellbeing and for the most part didn't hate me, even if he had all rights to be mad at me. I want him to know that I'll be there for him no matter what." Ryomou said.
"I see… and do you all feel that way?" Laufey asked the others.
"I do, Haru-san is a good kid and deserves to have happiness like anyone else. Whatever challenges lay ahead let them come. I'll stand by his side and fight it with him." Gakushuu said.
"That goes for me too, Haru-san doesn't need to go through with this alone. He has done so much to help us already so I'll do the same for him." Koukin said.
"The dear needs people like us to help him through the tough times I know that will come. Let us help him; I know where two different species but we can still help him in other ways besides fighting." Goei said.
"I'm not sure what I can do but I'll help as well." Saji said.
Laufey and Ignir looked at each other before they turned to the others.
"Very well, but don't say we didn't warn you. The enemies that will sure to come are some of the most fierce and deadliest creatures this world has ever seen. They are far from the regular opponents you all face before. All able to kill you in a thousand different ways. But there may be a way to train you all to be able to defeat them as well." Ignir said.
"How are you going to do that?" Ukitsu asked.
Before he could answer, a low groan emitted from Haru as he stirred from his sleep. He shifted around till he slowly open his eyes. For a few moments, he didn't know where he was nor at the moment does he remember what happen that causes him to lose consciousness. All he knows was his body felt like it was hit by a truck, slammed into a wall, crushed by a bolder, and then struck by lightning. Not in that order but it still hurts like a mother. Haru was trying to figure out what is happening but didn't get too far as he was suddenly thrown into a crushing hug by Hakufu.
"HARU-KUN YOU'RE OK! I was so worried that you wouldn't wake up. You were really injured back there, that asshole Crnobog-teme really did a number on you. I'm so glad you're alright!" Hakufu said, swinging him around while still hugging him.
"Hakufu-san let him go now! He still needs to rest you idiot!" Ryomou said taking Haru from her.
"Don't be mean and call me an idiot Mou-chan. And you're just saying that so you can hog Haru-kun all to yourself."
"What?! He's like 13 years old! And I'm 16, why would I 'hog' someone like Haru-kun when he's not even my age?"
"A likely story."
"Ok, why are you getting your panties in a knot about this? What does it matter if someone like me does like him? You're acting like a over protecting girlfriend or something, I know you like him too but will you just ease up on the whole 'I have to make sure Haru-kun is always ok 24/7' deal? That shit gets old really fast."
"I… don't know what you're talking about." Hakufu blushed a little.
"It's written all over your face Hakufu-chan, you're so into Haru-kun here. But I can see why, he is a little cutie." Ukitsu said as she was hugging Haru.
"What the? How did you get him without me noticing?!" Ryomou ask shocked.
"Oh I have my ways and I can see you like him too." She smirked.
"Why the hell does everyone thing I like him like that? Yes I like him but no that way."
"May I ask why not?" Laufey asks.
"First, I just met him and I haven't gotten to know him that well. Two, he's like 13 for Christ sakes. Three, he might not like me that way. And four… well… I'm just not sure if I want to be in a relationship with anyone right now. Not with all this crap happening to us."
"She's right, with our destinies as they are it is unlikely we'll see adulthood… let alone find someone to love." Gakushuu said solemnly.
"Yes, it would seem that way. But looks like Hakufu and Ukitsu will try to make a bond with the child here." Ignir pointed at the two girls as they were fighting over who gets to hold Haru.
"Give back Haru-kun now!" Hakufu said taking Haru into her arms.
"Why? He's not your property." Ukitsu said taking him back.
"He's my friend!"
"So am I."
"Yeah well, I was his friend first."
"Doesn't matter, he's not all yours so stop being such a greedy little child."
"I am not!"
"Oh yes you are."
"Am not!"
"Are too!"
"Oh for the love of, will you two stop acting like children and grabbing Haru-kun like a toy!" Ryomou said taking Haru from Hakufu.
"Says the girl who's doing the exact same thing we are." Ukitsu pointed out taking Haru from her.
"I'm doing this cause Haru-kun doesn't need this, he needs to rest."
"Bullshit you are, you just want him for yourself!" Hakufu said.
"I just said I don't like him like that goddammit! Get it through your thick skull already! Haru-kun needs someone to look after him not to be treated like this!"
"I agree, so I'll be the one to do it." Ukitsu said.
"You?!" Both Hakufu and Ukitsu said in unison.
"Why not me?"
"Cause you're acting like Hakufu-san here about this, and one of her is already pushing it." Ryomou said.
"HEY! What does that mean?!" Hakufu felt insulted.
"You can barely take care of yourself without doing stupid crap to get yourself in trouble. Haru-kun doesn't need that right now."
"Oh so you're going to take care of him?" Ukitsu asks.
"If I have to yes. You two aren't the only ones who care for Haru-kun."
"I knew it! You do want Haru-kun all by yourself!"
"Oh son of a bitch that's it! I'm ending this, get your arms off of him now!"
So the three continue to argue with one another while taking Haru into their arms from the other. The others just stared at the fight with sweat drops. They wanted to stop it but were afraid they might get slammed into the wall if they interfere.
"My how Haru-kun got so popular with the girls already." Saji snickered.
"Yeah but Haru-san looks like he doesn't know how to handle this." Koukin said.
Indeed Koukin was right, Haru for his part was confused, scared, and getting dizzy. He didn't know what was going on and being circulated around by the girls this way wasn't helping his situation. But luckily it didn't last as Laufey had enough of the girl's arguing.
BAM! BAM! BAM!
Three good whacks by her cane on their heads made them stop as they held their heads in pain.
"That's enough! I'm getting a headache from your bickering so I'm going to end this! One more word about who is good for the child and I'll make that whack seem like a trickle compared to the next one, understand!" Laufey barked.
"Yes ma'am." They groaned in pain.
"Good, now then Haru are you ok?" Laufey asks in a soft tune.
"Haru… doesn't know anymore. Haru is so confused." He sighed.
"Want to tell us dear?" Goei asks.
"Haru doesn't know where to begin, was Crnobog said about Haru true? That Haru really isn't human?"
"Yes young master, you are not human but a dragon like me and Laufey here." Ignir said.
"… and old couple knew about this?"
"Yes we did, we know who you are and where you come from." Laufey said.
"Then why?" The two looked at him not knowing what he meant.
"Why didn't you say anything from before when Haru saw you two at the hospital?"
"Hold the phone, you two already found Haru-san?" Gakushuu said.
"Yes, we met him a few days ago when he was looking for Hakufu here."
"But then why didn't you say anything like what you told us?" Ukitsu asks.
"For the fact he didn't recognize us at the beginning. We were in his life a lot when he first hatch so he imprinted us as one of the family. So when we finally found him after so long and he didn't recognize us, it broke our hearts and told us he must have lost his memory." Ignir explained.
"Memory loss? What could of cause it?" Koukin asks.
"The attack that killed all of his family." Laufey said sadly.
"Haru's… family?" Haru said, shocked.
"Yes child your family. Tell me, what is the earliest memory you have?" Haru looked down and tried to remember.
"… Haru's oldest memory is when Haru woke up on the beach with bloody and ripped clothing, had many cuts and a twisted ankle, and was very weak. At the time Haru didn't know where Haru was, who was Haru, or why Haru was there. It just made Haru scared. Haru didn't even have a name back then and Haru felt a great deal of pain. After many times of trying to get up, Haru made way to inland where Haru found a piece of paper with one word. Haru was that word, so with no knowledge of who Haru was, Haru took that name and been called that ever since."
"But you don't remember anything before that?" Saji asks and he shook his head no.
"It's all a fuzz to Haru, all Haru gets is bits and pieces but that's it."
"Than my suspicions were correct, you have amnesia."
"So, Haru can't remember that Haru had a family but you two knew and didn't tell Haru… figures as much." He said sadly.
"Haru-kun?" Hakufu looked at him worriedly.
"You lied to Haru, you could of told Haru that Haru had family all this time but you didn't!"
"Child please understand." Ignir tried to explain.
"Haru understands very well, you were toying with Haru like everyone Haru has ever met. You could of told Haru the truth but yet you held it. Haru has been lied, hurt, scorned, hunted, played like a fool, and above all hated for the fact Haru is alive!" He said raising his voice.
"Haru-kun please calm down." Goei asked in a soft voice.
"NO! You all hated Haru! You see Haru as nothing more than a monster! A freak of nature! That's why you came for Haru, so you all could kill Haru. None of you really care for Haru, you like the rest… Haru will always be hated because Haru's a monster."
"That's not true, we do care for you." Koukin said.
"STOP LYING TO HARU! Everyone always lies to Haru! Haru knows Haru's a monster, a mindless beast that only kills. Haru knows you all fear Haru for that, that's why you keep lying to Haru. But Haru can't take it anymore!" He fell to his knees holding his head.
"Child please calm yourself, you don't know what you're saying. We know you were treated badly and were alone—"
"NO YOU DON'T!" Haru yelled at Laufey, interrupting her.
"No one knows what it's like to be Haru! You all keep lying to Haru, you just want to either use or hurt Haru like Crnobog was going to do. You're no better than him, Crnobog lied to Haru too just like you all are doing RIGHT NOW! Haru just wants—"
SLAP!
Ryomou had just enough of Haru's rant so she got up and slapped him hard enough to shut him up. Haru held his sting cheek looking at Ryomou with wide eyes, a little stunned that she did that out of the blue. The others were equally shocked too.
"Ryomou-chan, what did you do that for?" Hakufu asked.
"Cause this need to stop now! Haru-kun listen to me, we do care for you. After you left that day we've been searching for you high and low all over the city day and night. Does that sound like people who don't care for you? We were worried sick about you when we learned that you were not only homeless but an orphan as well. But you're right about one thing, we don't know the life you had before we met you. I can't imagine the life you had, the hardships you had to go through each and every day to find food and shelter all the while having no one to help you. To always fear going up to someone to ask for help cause you might be yelled or scorned at and yet you still moved on and make it through the day. That tells me you're a strong person Haru-kun." Ryomou began kneeling down to him.
"Haru's… strong?"
"Damn straight your strong Haru-kun. It takes great strength to survive day by day of the life you had for so long and someone of your age. I know I couldn't go through even a hour in your shoes. You have a strong will to move on even when life was so hard and I really admire that about you. You kept going no matter what and took all of life's shit. You never gave up." Hakufu said going up to him.
"But… Haru's isn't human… Haru's a monster. Why would anyone care for a freak like Haru?"
"No you're not Haru-kun, your nether a monster or a freak. You're the sweetest, kindest, and quite frankly the cutest little guy I ever known. You saved us twice from not only getting killed more than once but also from being raped. A monster wouldn't do that. You are far more than you give yourself. We're sorry we freaked out when we learned you weren't human but that doesn't mean we hate you, we don't see you as a monster." Ukitsu said.
"You… don't?"
"No Haru-kun, we don't. Your our friend no matter what. We care for you a lot." Ryomou said with a smile.
"And your no longer alone, we'll be with you for now on. You don't have to live that life anymore Haru-kun." Hakufu added.
Haru just stared at them with wide eyes, even after everything they still care for him and said he was their friend. It was like a dream to him, to finally be with people that cared for him no matter what. Their words really struck a chord in his heart. All those years of being alone and trying to survive now he has people that truly cared. It was too much to take in at once so he did the one thing he didn't do for so long.
He cried.
Haru finally broke down, all those years of suffering from loneliness, hunger, hatred, and fear all came crashing down on him. He cried so hard that his eyes kind of hurt but he didn't care. Hakufu carefully took him in her arms and let him cry his heart out. She hugged him and rocked him back and forth letting him get out all of his sorrow.
"It's going to be ok now Haru-kun, let it all out." She whispered as she brush his hair.
Haru hugged her tightly as he continue to ball his eyes out. After a few minutes Hakufu release him as Ukitsu held him letting him cry on her as well. She brought his head to her cleavage and stroke his back gently.
"That's it Haru-kun, get it all out of your system. Your deserve a good cry." She said softly.
Ryomou took her turn after a while doing the same thing bring him close to her body with his head on her chest.
"You don't need to be alone anymore Haru-kun, we'll be there for you from now on. I promise." She said.
After what seemed like hours, Haru finally calmed down enough to a sniffle. His eyes were all puffy and red. Laufey came up to him with a tissue and gave it to him. Haru took a big blow, he felt better now that he got that all out.
"Feeling better child?" she asks.
"Yeah, a lot better. Haru sorry that Haru yelled at you. Haru has been alone for so long and all that Haru has been through, Haru just snapped. It was just too much. Are you mad at Haru?"
"No, you had every right to be angry for all you went through. And I should be the one to say sorry, we should have told you the second we've met but we feared that telling you the truth so soon would be too much for you. But know that you ok, we'll tell you all that you deserve to know." Laufey said.
"Haru would like that… so Haru really is a dragon?" Laufey nodded.
"And holy crap where you amazing out there breathing fire and ice and lightning kicking ass like a pro. Glad as hell you're on our side cause you would beat me in seconds." Hakufu said with excitement in her voice.
"Indeed you have the warrior spirit within you Haru-san. You were able to take on strong opponents even with their numbers were great. You truly are a great fighter." Gakushuu said with a smile.
"Even I'm impress on how you took them down. We nearly got killed just trying to defeat three of those Dread Guards but you took out almost 100 of those creepy bastards. And the power you have, got to say it's like nothing I ever seen." Saji said.
"And it's actually pretty awesome that you're a dragon too. I've always thought dragons were cool but to know they really exist, man I'm blown away." Koukin said.
"But most of all we're happy your save and we'll do what we can to be the family you deserve."
Haru was touch by their words, it made him feel happy and great to live for once. It brought a smile to his face, a real genuine one. Both Ignir and Laufey were also happy that Haru finally has people to care for him after so long.
"Ok everyone, now that we got what we needed to say, it's time for me and Laufey to tell the child everything he needs to know." Ignir spoke ups.
"Sounds good to Haru, what does Haru need to know first?"
"Well, let's start with your age, how old do you think you are?"
"Um… Haru doesn't want to say. You guys may think Haru is crazy." He said with a small chuckle.
"Oh come on, there's no need to be shy about your age. Your probably like 13 or 14 at best." Goei said.
"Actually, in dragon years he's about 15 or 16." Laufey said.
"Really? Than how old is in human years than?" Saji asks.
"By calendar years you humans use, he's about 486 years old." Ignir said stroking his beard.
The room was dead silent when he said that. Not a word was utter for a solid 30 seconds.
"486 YEARS!?" They said in unison.
"Yes, Haru here is older than any of you put together. We dragons can live for thousands of years. I'm 68,276 years old while Laufey is—"
WHACK!
But her cane silenced Ignir.
"My age will not be brought up in this conversation, besides it's rude to ask or say a lady's age." Laufey said.
"Looks like someone is sensitive about her age." Saji snickered quietly to Koukin.
A quick thwack upside the head by Laufey silences his snickering.
"Being my age doesn't mean I can't hear a pin drop in the attic." She said with a twitching smile.
"Right, acute hearing." Saji groaned.
"Ok, let's not get into a fight here. I believe Ignir-ojiisan and Laufey-obaachan were going to tell us a little about Haru's family?" Koukin looked at the two.
"Wait, Haru has family? Where!?" He asked in excitement.
"… I'm afraid they are gone, child, they were killed many years ago." Ignir said sadly.
"K… killed?"
"Yes, they were killed on your 50th birthday. It was a special birthday because it was also the day you would be given a proper name. In our tradition, we don't name our young until their 50th birthday. In the fifty years the children will be named base on either their powers, personality, habits, or characteristics. It signifies their true self this way unlike normal names ways, we dragon can do that too but some go by the traditional ways." Laufey said.
"Then what is Haru-sans real name?" Koukin asks.
"We… don't know. You see, only the parents can reveal the name on the day. But before they could do that, an attack was sprung on us. We didn't know who or what they were but we were mad as hell when they interrupted a sacred tradition. At first we had the upper hand, knocking them all out without even breaking a sweat. But then they came." Ignir hissed that last sentence in anger.
"Who's they?" Ryomou asks.
"Five individuals that will be forever hated by us dragons. They are the reason that the child's family is gone from our lives. Each carrying a unique weapon that was meant to critically hurt or kill a dragon. It's not easy to hurt a dragon, let alone kill one. But they somehow had the tools to do that. And in the end… they accomplish what they set out for."
"But… why were they after you?" Ukitsu asks.
"It wasn't us they were after, but Haru and his parents. You see, Haru here is a rare type of dragon called a Dragon King, there aren't many in the world today I'm afraid. For they are one of the most powerfulest dragons in our species. They can wield many of the Elemental Breaths and use other powers other dragons can't. The Dragon Kings can use many of the 16 breaths: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Ice, Lightning, Poison, Plasma, Atomic, Darkness, Light, Time, Space, Chaos, and Cosmic. Haru here has display six of them so far, but he could very well use more but only time will tell. Both his parents were extremely powerful Dragon Kings so it was no wonder why they were hunted and killed… though I wish it weren't so." Laufey said.
The other were amazed and stun at all they heard about dragons so far. They could imagine the myths they once thought to only exist in fairy tales to have that kind of power.
"Amazing, so does this mean both of you are Dragon Kings too?" Ryomou asks.
"You would think that but no, I am a Gale Dragon but learned to use wind as an attack as Ignir here is a Fire Dragon that learned Earth attacks. Those who aren't Dragon Kings can still learn and be able to use more than their birth element but it takes time and practice." Laufey explained.
"Make sense to me." Hakufu said.
"Holy crap, you actually know what they said? Maybe you aren't such an airhead after all." Ryomou smirked.
"HEY! I'm not that stupid!" She shot back.
"Could of fool me." Ukitsu snickered.
"Why you!"
But a raise of Laufey's cane made the girls shut up.
"That's more like it, I don't' want to hear any more of your fighting."
"Yes ma'am." They said.
"Crnobog, he was one of the five that killed Haru's family, wasn't he." Haru spoke up.
"Yes, he and the other four came in to kill you and your parents. They were successful in killing them as they ganged up on them using those accursed weapons on them and killing them and were about to kill all of us but you somehow stopped it." Ignir said.
"Haru did, how?"
"One of them was going to kill a friend of the family when you jump in and took the blow for her. His spear pierce the back of your head and we were sure that would kill you. But you didn't die, but at that time we thought you did. The temporary shock of your bravery took them back and gave your parents an opening. Both your parents use their final strength to not only save the rest of us but destroy the weapons too and blow those wretched beings across the skies away from us. Once it was all over, your home was completely destroyed. Your parents died that day and your body went missing. They died with honor and protecting the ones they loved." Laufey said with tears in her eyes as Ignir comforts her.
"Were so sorry that we couldn't have helped them, we tried to save them but their wounds were too great for even them. Even though they weren't related to us, we still considered them our children like we see you as our grandchild. We looked for you for almost 200 years but the passing years that we didn't find you was too much, so we had to move on."
"But then what made Ignir and Laufey research for Haru here?" Haru asks.
"It was about 30 years ago when we heard on of your 'Kanto Beast' attacks from the United Kingdom, the descriptions match to what a dragon would do. So out of curiosity, we traveled there and found the location the reports said. Your scent was present to us giving us new hope. You couldn't imagine our joy when we learned you were still alive, how you survive a spear to the back of the head was the question but we didn't care, all that matter was us finding you. And thank the higher power we did."
"Haru is glad that you did, Haru always wanted to know about where Haru came from. And your story actually answers a few mysteries Haru has."
"What mysteries Haru-kun?" Saji asks.
"Well, it explains why Haru can't speak right. And it also explains this." Haru turned his head and lifted his hair to reveal a large scar on the back of his head.
"Holy crap, that's one mean looking scar." Gakushuu said.
"But it is lucky in a way that you didn't get anything worse than what you have now." Laufey said.
"… Yeah." Haru sighed.
"What's wrong young master?" Ignir asks.
"It's… just so much to deal with. Haru learning Haru's a dragon, finding out Haru's past a little, learning Crnobog killed Haru's family, and just other things. Haru is so confused and doesn't know what to do now." He looked down.
"I know it's a lot to take in now but I believe once you fully rested and healed you will be able to make things sorted out."
"That's sounds like a good idea, I think we all need some RnR after this day. I'll check in with you guys later. Good to have you back Haru-kun." Saji waved goodbye and left.
"Haru really doesn't like it when Saji calls Haru that." He said.
"Don't let it get to you Haru-san, Saji-san is just being Saji-san. You'll get used to it… maybe." Gakushuu said, making the other snickered.
"I have to go to, I'll come around tomorrow to see how you all doing. Night." Then Gakushuu left.
"Yeah I need to head home too, see you guys later. And goodnight to you Haru-kun, I'm glad you save now, later cutie." Ukitsu said and gave Haru a hug and a quick kiss on the cheek.
Haru was blushing madly as Ukitsu left. It was the first time a girl kissed him and it felt both tingly and nice. In fact, it was making him dizzy as the feeling of his cheeks burn and he was stuttering a bit. But of course Hakufu was throwing a fit about it.
"Why that no good Ukitsu-chan! Who does she think she is pulling stunts like that!?"
"Oh calm down Hakufu-chan, she's just expressing her feeling of happiness that Haru-kun is back nothing to flip out over." Goei said to her daughter.
"Yeah, it's not like it's a bad thing or anything and besides it was just a harmless friend kiss." Koukin said.
"Please calm down Hakufu, Haru doesn't like it when Hakufu gets like this." Haru said after he came out of his stupor.
"Fine." She huffed.
"Well I'm heading off too. Later guys, and it's good your back too Haru-kun." Ryomou gave him a quick hug and left.
"Well what a day, I think I'll turn in early too. Night everyone." Goei yawned and left for bed.
"Yeah I'm heading off to bed as well. Glad you're ok man, see you all in the morning" Koukin then left for bed.
"Ok Haru-kun, let's go to bed too. You need your rest. Night Ignir-ojjisan, Laufey-obaachan." Hakufu said and left with Haru.
"Well, this is certainly a turn of events isn't it?" Ignir ask his mate.
"Yes but now we have other problems to deal with, like Crnobog's return and rebuilding the clan. That is going to take some time." Laufey said.
"Maybe not, the child seemed to already acquired a few possible mates already. They have proven they are not only strong in spirit and body but also care for the child deeply. And who knows, maybe he has influence others that we yet to know."
"They do seem to be good for him, but he'll need more to rebuild the damage that has been done."
"Hope he's ready for that." Ignir chuckled.
Hakufu and Haru walked down the hall till the reach the door that was the extra bed Haru used the other night.
"Ok Haru-kun, I'll see you in the morning."
Yeah you too… and thank you Hakufu."
"For what?"
"For looking for me, it really meant a lot to Haru you looked so hard for Haru." He said with a blush.
"Call it a repayment for you looking for me the other day. And Haru-kun."
"Yes Hakufu?"
Hakufu closed the gap in between them and hugged him close to her. As always his head landed in her breast. Haru was blushing but was slightly confused.
"I am so glad you're back in my life again… I felt so bad for making you think I hated you, but know this. I will always care for you Haru-kun. You have a special place in my heart. I don't give a shit if you are the Kanto Beast or that you're a dragon, because to me, your Haru and nothing will make me think otherwise. I deeply care for you and always will." With that she gave him a sweet but short kiss on the lips.
Haru was in a frenzy of light headedness and major butterflies in his stomach. He was blushing like a madman and felt dizzy. His first real kiss and it was amazing. Hakufu let him go and said goodnight before heading off to bed. Haru stood there in a daze feeling as though he was on cloud nine.
"This is definitely one of the best moments Haru has ever had."
And with that he entered the room to get a good night's sleep.
"Goddamn that little dragon runt! I'll make him suffer for what he did to me!" Crnobog limped his way to the chair in his office.
Crnobog had to haul himself all the way to the building he used as a base of operations. But with the injuries he got from the fight, it took him hours to get there. But finally he made it, however he wasn't alone. For there at his desk was a young man in his early twenties with yellow hair and crystal blue eyes. He wore a purple shirt with a black jacket and jeans with sneakers. He was fairly handsome standing around Crnobog's height. Crnobog however was not happy to see him.
"Rufas! What the bloody hell are you doing here and in MY chair!" The one known as Rufas turned to Crnobog with a coy smile.
"Oh you know me, just checking in on how you're doing. But it looks like to me you've got the shit knocked out of you." He snickered.
"You didn't come all the way to Japan to just talk, spill it already I need medical assistance fast."
"Geez, you're being more of a bitch than usual."
"Rufas!" He said in a low voice.
"Ok, don't get your pussy in a knot. The Grand Master learned that you been dicking around and haven't killed the child yet and boy is he steamed." Crnobog paled when he heard that.
"I… I almost had him within my grasp, I just need more time."
"I can see that, well he ask me to come over to tell you this, kill the child soon or your life will be useless to me." Crnobog gulped.
"I will, you can tell the Grand Master it will be done."
"Hope so, but he also wants to say that you had a good idea about using these particular humans to kill the child. His family did make powerful allies, ones that we don't need to meddle in our business."
"How… how does he know I use the Fighters?"
"Oh please, he knows everything. There isn't much you can hide from him. So until this deal with the brat is done, I'll be hanging around for a bit till he's six feet under. It'll be like old times." Rufas smiled.
"Oh yes, I can't wait." Crnobog said sarcastically.
"Whelp I'm off to pound some pussy, see you later man. And try to clean yourself up, you look like shit after the kid beat the living piss out of you."
"Hold a damn minute, how'd you know the child has his powers awaken?"
"I didn't, I was just bullshitting but now I know, cya later man." Rufas left with a laugh.
"… I fucking hate that jackass."
