Chapter 1
The Missing Scythe
The Hawkins Household
In the living room of the house is a young man with light blue hair and eyes. He is sitting on the couch closet to the open window. The teen looked around the room his mind wondering elsewhere. Next to the blue-haired boy is a young woman with blue-black hair that has one red streak on the right side, she also has pinkish red eyes.
The boy's mother, Farren Hawkins, is in the kitchen making dinner for her family. "Mom?" Seymour asked from across the room.
"Yes, Seymour?"
"Did dad hate us? Is that why he isn't here?" Farren stopped what she was doing, walked to the kitchen doorway, and looked at her son sternly.
"He never hated us. He loved both of you dearly; however, I'm afraid that he has some research to do around the world, which keeps him from his family." The teens stand and followed their mother into the kitchen and sat at the table as she continued cooking.
"He never comes to see us," Elvira pointed out.
"He's just too busy," her mother said. "I know that you want to see him, but I'm sure that he'll find the time to visit."
"I highly doubt that," Seymour said in a grumpy tone.
"I hope that we can see him soon," Elvira said quietly.
"So do I," Farren said as she handed her children steaming bowls of her famous chicken noodle soup. The children started eating as a voice sounded in Farren's mind through the use of Telepathy.
"Farren…" The gray-haired Neko woman looked around confused.
"Who's that?" Farren's mind responded.
"Who else would it be?"
"Gakupo?"
"Yes."
"How are you? You haven't spoken to me in a long while now."
"I'm good. How are you and the kids? The reason why I haven't spoken to you in a while is because something came up…" Gakupo's mind said wearily.
"We are all fine. Now, what's happened?" Farren's mind asked.
"My scythe has been stolen."
"W-WHAT?" Farren's mind said sounding shocked at the news.
"My scythe is missing."
"H-how?"
"That I am not sure of. I just know that it is missing."
"Right. Do you know where it would be located?"
"No, I do not. If I don't get it back soon, there would be devastating repercussions."
"Right. Would you like for Drake, Kyoshiro, Aquarius, Draco, and me to come over and help you? I can leave Elvira and Seymour with Sakurajima and Obsidian," Farren said telepathically.
"That's completely up to you. Though, Obsidian and Sakurajima are at the hospital at the moment," the reaper's mind said in a chilling voice.
"Why? Is something wrong with one of them?"
"Their daughter is very ill."
"Is she alright?"
"I don't know the details. You can ask them yourself. I have to go now… Someone is here to see me… again…" the reaper's mind said with a heavy sigh.
"Alright."
"Remember that I will always love you."
"I love you too."
"I will speak to you later. Tell them that I love them too."
"I will."
"Thank you," and with that he breaks their telepathic connection.
