Messenger from the Future

IV

At night, Victor came back from his tiring unfruitful investigation on the streets, when he entered the house, everyone was gathered on the living room, and the attention was draw to him. He stopped dead on his tracks, staggering with an uncomfortable feeling, there were so many gazes felling upon him, he was not used to that.

"I've heard from Rael you were investigating." Frankenstein was the first to initiate a conversation, with his arms crossed and a dry look on eyes.

"Welcome back!" Tao tried to break the awkward tension build up in that minute he had just arrived and put a hand around the brown-haired shoulders, dragging him to the sofa "Boss, he must be tired, don't be too rigid with the boy! Let him rest a bit and breathe properly, right?"

"He has just interrupted Frankenstein, right…?" M-21 commented in a low voice.

"Yes. He wants to die." Takeo completed the logic.

"Wasn't he injured?" the Landrege glanced with distrust to the boy.

"My wounds must be healed by now… They aren't a problem…" the new resident bashfully stared to the ground.

Tao felt some pity and tried again to make the situation more comfortable to the boy who always ended up being pressured by the strong glares full of doubts that landed on him. For some seconds, the room was in a weird state of silence, when Victor raised his eyes, Raizel was looking at him and he couldn't tell which thoughts or emotions the noblesse had. He was so blank, devoid of any cognoscible emotion he ever saw.

Soon the dark-haired vampire was sipping his tea again, uninterested on the whole situation.

"I'll make a checkup on your body to make sure it's everything all right." Frankenstein told in a nonchalant tone.

"Ah, I see…" the boy answered without a second thought, then, he paused and jumped out of his seat "Wait! You said what?!" his eyes widened.

"I'll do a checkup to verify if your body is fine." He repeated calmly not understanding the sudden alteration of the boy.

"Is there a problem?" Takeo asked with a raised brow.

"No-" he tried to think on an answer "I mean, yes! I don't need a medical checkup, my body is perfectly fine!"

"Oh!" Tao exclaimed when an enlightening idea crossed his mind "Boy, could it be you're afraid of boss experimenting on your body?"

"T-Tao…" his friends were astonished and fearing the reaction of the dark-spear's master. He was just behind them.

"Wha-? No! That's not it!"

"I know he looks like a mad scientist, but he is not this kind of person!" Tao put his hands on the shoulders of the younger.

"I wouldn't change a person's body without their consent, of course." Frankenstein surprisingly responded to the ridiculous topic "Just what kind of impression did you picture about me?"

"I'm saying that's not the problem…" a drop of sweat rolled down his face warningly.

"Then why wouldn't you want him to check your condition? He is doing a favor. It's inelegant to not accept his generosity." Regis frowned.

"Well…" the young brown-haired thought for some seconds and gulped, not knowing an argument he could resort to.

"You asked us to trust on you, but can't give a proper answer to a simple question?" Regis proceeded with the pressurized words.

"Ahem" Victor put a hand on his mouth "I'll answer… It's because I still do not exist on this time, so seeing my DNA also is a form of breaking the non-involvement rules… I mean, if he wants to research if my body has passed through a process of modification, I cannot permit. If he wants to become a better scientist, he should study more instead of peeping on people's DNA."

He said the last sentence with firm words, but he did not dare to glance to Frankenstein once and he sincerely didn't need to, although everyone instantaneously turned to the blonde human, scrutinizing the minimal movements of his twitching face as his menacing aura poured out of his body and his anger started to boil, making his blood run faster on his veins.

"Hey, brat. Are you insulting me?"

"God! He snapped!" the whole cast inside the room thought in unison, even Seira was anxious to see the conclusion of that conversation.

Tao immediately put his body in front of Victor, and so did Takeo and M-21, afraid their chief would kill the boy in the middle of the living room.

"Frankenstein." Raizel's voice irrupted the tension on the right moment "Your power…"

"My deepest apologizes, Master." He instantly locked up his powers and bowed "It's just that… The brat…" he looked annoyed to the future boy "It seems he needs some lessons to fix this insolent behavior…"

Victor's mouth twitched with a smile, but not from happiness or satisfaction, instead it was more a smile of someone who had just committed the biggest mistake ever and was sentenced to death.

"I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, but you're very smart. My pardon, please, you can berate and beaten me up as much as you wish in the future, just comprehend I'm on a thick situation here…" he thought without uttering a single word.

"Excuse me." He bowed and left the living room, with his soul almost leaving his body when he supported his shoulder on the corridor's wall regretting the impulsive words he spoke impetuously.

On the living room, the dark spear master was reminiscing about the insults. How could he, a great scientist appeal to such unpleasant methods like deceiving children to study their DNA or do any kind of experimentation without their agreement? He was feeling extremely offended as a scientist and as a Principal of a high school. He never intended to harm any of his students; neither would he do it now.

"He has said those words, but I didn't feel any hostility coming from him." Seira commented for the first time something related to the new boy.

"S-Seira?" Rael nervously looked to her "Why are you defending him?"

"She is right, Rael. Though his true intentions are unclear for us…" the silver-haired clan leader sustained her point.

"I know he helped us in that battle, still…"

Rael couldn't accept the act of the good guy Victor was showing, but before he could dismiss the arguments Seira and Regis told, a familiar voice sprout amidst the strangeness of that conversation:

"He resembles Ashleen."

Raizel's commentaries always called attention, because it was unusual for him to talk, and he had interesting things to say every time he opened his mouth. All of the listeners were amazed and at the same, time confused.

"Master… Isn't Ashleen the daughter of Muzaka…? The one he had with a human…?" Frankenstein asked, just to make sure he hadn't listened wrong

"…" His master nodded once and it was enough for his servant to complete the logic.

"Are you implying that Victor is not a modified human, but a half-human like Ashleen?"

"H-half human… Then the other half would be… A-a werewolf?" M-21 was astonished.

"B-but even if he is half-human and half-werewolf, it still doesn't explain why he has dark-spear powers…" Takeo was perplexed.

They all looked to Raizel as he sipped the tea elegantly, and he put his cup on the table, responding without looking to them.

"He has a presence that is similar to Ashleen's, however, slightly different…" he continued the wise explanation "Ashleen's mother was a common woman, but his presence resembles more…" his gaze moved to the side and landed at Frankenstein.

"Hm? Master?" many question marks were above his head.

"….." he stared to the blonde subordinate with his inexpressive traits on face, almost as if analyzing him.

"Master…?" Frankenstein's lips twitched, trying to form a smile "Are you suggesting I…" he didn't finish the sentence.

"He took after your temper." Raizel concluded and took his teacup again, sipping it calmly, disengaging on the dialogue.

"What was that?" Tao asked in confusion.

"Was he trying to say something else?" Regis was curious.

"W-who knows… Raizel-nim shouldn't be more bothered than this… I bet he want us to find the truth ourselves!" Rael was marveled by the noblesse who could always give wise advices and words for those around him.

Frankenstein knew that too, he started to put deep thought about the situation, trying to find the hints he had missed along the way. As for the human trio, both Tao and Takeo were as perplexed as the rest, but they became concerned when they saw M-21's face. He was vexed.

Clenching his fists, he dashed out of the room causing confusion on the others. Tao and Takeo gestured to the others and rushed to follow him, he would act unthoughtfully again. Without hesitation, M-21 caught a glimpse of the boy on the entrance of the room he was staying, and grabbed him by the collar. His eyes blazed in indignation.

"Let's end up with those little secrets you're hiding from us." He frowned "You're really half-human and half-werewolf?!" he almost shouted.

"M-21!" Takeo touched his shoulder, but his hand was shoved away.

"Don't try to impede me! This boy will tell everything to us!"

"I know you're probably eager to find out about him, but pressuring him or hitting him won't work, right? Let's calm down…" Tao tried to placate his friend, but he didn't want to listen.

"Answer me!" he tightened the grip on the boy's clothes.

"… What if I am?" Victor didn't mean a joke, his face was deadly serious.

"Grrr…Has the union made you? What are you doing here?! Why the hell did you invented that story about future?!"

The number of questions he asked was limitless, all of his anger was concentrated on his words and fists, Tao and Takeo were worried with the situation, they knew how M-21 should be feeling since the boy could be the most similar existence to his insofar as he also had a human half, but they felt worried over the boy too, although he did not said a word, as if waiting for M-21 to discount all his rage on him, his expression was saddened.

Then, the gray-haired finally stopped questioning the boy and shook him in a brusque manner to demand his answers, the youngster finally talked:

"I know you must be confused by now, but please, don't ask me more questions… I really-" he paused with consternation "… Really wanted to give the answers you might be seeking, but-"

"M-21…" Takeo's hand reached his shoulder.

Gradually M-21 left the collar of the boy, and his anger started to soothe as he observed the pained expression on Victor's face.

"I'm sorry…" he bowed deeply "I'm truly sorry…"

"Don't apologize, please. Our friend just lost his coolness…" Tao scratched his head smiled to lighten the mood, but the boy wasn't satisfied with the ending of that situation, and answered.

"It's true we are similar, because we both have a human's essence…" he raised his head and his face had a mixture of preoccupation and determination "But you were the first to fully awaken your powers even having the underestimated 'human essence' amongst the werewolf race… So, there's nothing that I know that could be as valuable as your effort in fighting proudly with the powers given to you… Raizel-nim awakened your powers, and Frankenstein helped to stabilize your body, but the rest was up to you… If you could reach so far, I don't think you will have problems in finding the answers you want to know… Furthermore, you were the one that taught me many things about my powers in the future…"

"…." He opened his mouth to reply, but closed it right away.

"Wow! Has M-21 taught you?" Tao laughed dryly, but his face was serious on the next sentence "You're well informed about our pasts… Did you know he was a werewolf too?" he was slightly concerned about the extent of information Victor held.

"Yes, that's because my fa-" he stopped in the middle of the word and quivered a bit, covering his mouth, looking impatiently to them "… told him to…"

"Your- what?" Tao's eyes widened.

"I mean, I know you all in the future… It just happened that someone told me about you all…" he tried to look cool, but he was completely upset.

"Huh? Someone? Who?" Takeo raised a brow.

"Anyway, I'm really tired. Could we finish this talk tomorrow? I'd be grateful if you do me this favor."

Victor turned and locked himself inside the room in a second, before they asked further questions. Tao was still fazed and elaborating his theories. He wanted to confirm if he was not being deceived by his ears:

"He would just say 'father', Am I right?"

"I don't know, it could be any other word…" Takeo tried to stop Tao's nonsense before it grew bigger, but it was futile.

"Hehehe…" he smiled playfully and even M-21 was now wondering what could happen now that Tao was starting his nonsense stories again.

"I'm going to bed." M-21 said leaving that place as fast as possible.

"Tao, control yourself…" Takeo sweated.

"I didn't say anything yet!" he complained "Even so, this father story is tingling on my senses… The great Tao will uncover the truth!" he exclaimed happily.

"This isn't a detective drama. Stop dreaming." Takeo scolded.

"No way! I'm a genius, my theories are usually right! The truth waits to be unraveled!" he laughed scandalously with his hand on hips.

In the city, were the high buildings illuminated by the artificial lights scattered all over the city obfuscated the stars. The crowds walked busy, in a hurry, without even noticing it. Above them, all, on the rooftop of the highest building, three werewolves were standing, observing the strange ephemeral existences below them.

"They're funny, those humans… They've changed a lot, yet, I still can feel their greed." Bertrand commented with a smirk

"You can admire them later. We've got a mission to do, Bertrand." Kentas frowned casting a side glance to the silver-haired werewolf.

"He is being too incisive, it's your influence, Lunark?" he looked at the woman.

"Our Lord was crystal clear about our mission here, Bertrand. Let's look for Muzaka-nim. Be prepared, once we encounter him, we will engage in a battle…"

Her tone was serious and she rushed out of the rooftop first, leaving Kentas and Bertrand behind. Both of them exchanged a violent glare.

"I particularly don't like you." The brown-furred said honestly "But… Since it's a direct order from our Lord, I'll bear this. However don't think I fully trust you, I know you are here to keep an eye on us, but be alert because I'll also be surveilling your actions…"

Saying that with a death glare, Kentas set off, leaving Bertrand, who still had the cynical smile on his face. When the other vanished, his smile enlarged, as if amazed by his companion.

"Oho… Kentas and Lunark have become quite clever… I guess it's because of the humans from union they've been in contact with… Pft…"

"Well, it does not change the fact that I'll observe how they will deal with Muzaka… Are they really loyal to our current Lord, or the feelings of deference and the 'honor' thing they believe will stand in the way?" A sonorous laugh escaped from his lips, before he followed the two that were far ahead.

The chessboard was set, and the pieces are making their moves. Would the future have any relation to the events of this night? Perhaps, it was only the start of a storm that they had never seen before.
