Chapter 7: Kuro

Kuro

"My little angel"

Gakushuu take a rest by looking at the beautiful garden. Small pond with green tree around.

She sit on the wood floor. Sighing, she put her hand on her chest.

Dup-dap, dup-dap. Fast, that she feel uncomfortable. 'I got a bad feeling'

'Nevermind maybe just my feeling' She ignore it.

Meanwhile

Saiichi sitting as usual with an envelope in his arm. It was sealed with wax.

He open it.

Dear Keito,

It being a long time, isn't it? I hope you still remember me.

Truth,
Kuro

Saiichi grip the letter. 'He's coming'

"Guards!!" Around 20 men wear black yukata come inside Saiichi room.

" Tighten the control. Make sure check up who that come in or out" Saiichi ordered them

"Hai' Saiichi-sama!!" They bow before get out.

Saiichi walk to the window. The beautiful scenery was not enough to calm him.

Gakushuu look through the window. The guards start doing their work.

'Me or the guards tighten the control'

Normally two guards will control an area at one time. But now they do it in a group around 5 people complete with weapons.

She narrow her eyes. Something weird is happening.

"Father" she turn to the figure that sitting at the floor. Gakuho look up from his phone.

"Saiichi-san increase the guards suddenly, is there something I don't know?" Gakushuu ask.

Gakuho look at she.

When, he is not at school the man tend to let his hair been style like when his young.

Gakushuu never comment and none of his students ever  found him, so his prefer this way.

"I'm sure it nothing. Don't try to change the subject. This game of chess won't move itself." Said Gakuho refering to a board of chess on the small table.

"I'm sure you not afraid of losing, aren't you?" Gakuho give his usual smile.

Gakushuu sigh. "I won't lose to you, old man"

"How rude, let's we see." Gakuho said, putting down his phone on the wooden floor.

There a message from unknown number.

"Ja, it been a while aren't it Gakuho"

"Hope you remember me"

"I believe something from you should be mine"

"I want to take it"

Meanwhile

Arai is at the village market, accompanying Yuki, his aunt to buy cooking material.

This old village still keep the old tradition. Wearing yukata and walk around.

"Arai-kun, is Gakushuu-sama eat seafood?" Yuki ask, while looking at the various type of fish on the table.

"No, she don't like much. She like to eat meat more" That's girl is sometime choosy.

"Ah, let's go to the meat stall then. Sorry Yugo-kun" Yuki says to the seller, a young man with black hair and blue eyes.

"It's okay" He smile. Yuki bow slightly before walk away.

"Long time not see you. How you doing?" Yugo ask. He is one of Arai childhood friends. A few years older than Arai.

"You too, Yugo. I have doing fine. A bit trouble here and there, but you know me."

"Ha ha, right. You always got yourself in trouble, but you being you. You always fine a way out" Yugo laugh, follow by Arai.

"I'm totally jealous" Yugo mumble. Arai look at he suspiciously, there something off about him.

"Bro, go help your obaasan" Yugo said pointing at Yuki.

"Ah, goodbye. See you soon" Arai said.

"We will" he said.

Arai sure this is not just his feeling. This is not Yugo Sakuragi that he know. He is different. The man look like hiding something. 'What's up with him?'

Arai walk to Yuki.

"Umm, mister" Arai turn to that voice. A young girl around Gakushuu age call him. She have black long hair with blue eyes.

"Are you, Arai Keito?"

"Yes" Arai answer.

"Ah, I got a letter to you" She said taking out a letter from her basket. Arai take it.

"Thank you" Arai said.

The girl smile and bow slightly before run away and dissapear in the sea of humans.

Arai look at the letter.

He narrow his eyes. 'This symbol'  He open it.

Dear Arai,
    
You have grew a lot. Hey, I want to take something from you? You don't mind don't you?

From,
Kuro

"What?!" Arai said, shock.

"Who's this Kuro guy?" Arai mumble. Whatever it is, he know it is bad news.

Skip Time

The night have come. The moon shine brightly with stars decorate the sky.

A man wearing dark blue yukata sit under a tree. He smile gently but his eyes show the opposite. His blue eyes shine with mischief.

"Nii-san!" A young girl with soft blue yukata run toward him.

"Yuna," the male stand up. He give a gentle smile to that girl.

"The dinner have ready" she said. "Ah, okay" the man smile.

"Um, I had done the work you ask me to do. The letter, I had gave it to the person you ask me, Arai Keito" the girl said.

She then feel a hand on her head.

"Good, I know you're a good sister" The male smile sweetly.

The girl eyes shine brightly.

"Let's go back" He said.

"Yes, Yugo-nii !!"

He look at the moon.

"My little angel, I will come"
