Well judging by the amount of new people favoring and following this story I guess I must be doing something right. So, with that in mind I'll start the 4th Chapter, you all are so lucky. Now Gregory knows Yoshimori is lying about his amnesia, so what will he do, will he open up or will he deny the accusation? Let's find out. Enjoy Everyone! Disclaimer: I don't own anything at all if I did a lot of things would be changed.

Yoshimori's eyes widen when Gregory said he knew he was lying. Oh, no he knows I was lying, what can I do now? He mentally screamed. He was going to speak about why he lied, try to make up an excuse but Gregory held up his hand to silence him before he could say a word.

"Yoshimori I don't know why you said you have amnesia and I know your scans and your recent answers prove otherwise." Gregory started, seeing Yoshimori's panic-stricken face he put his hands on his shoulders in a calming gesture. "Listen Yoshimori, both me and Hannah want to help you but you have to tell us what's wrong." Gregory told him with a kind and gentle voice.

Yoshimori looked away from him to contemplate all he said. What could I say, 'I'm not from this timeline, also demon killing guardian called a Kekkaishi' Yeah…no if I say that they'll throw me in an insane asylum. He cynically thought. But… what if I told him, if I trust anyone with this it might help. An optimistic part of him argued back. A mental debate raged between the two sides for a few seconds before coming to an answer.

"If I tell you, would you keep it a secret?" Yoshimori asked Gregory seriously, looking him in the eyes nervously.

"I will, unless it threatens the security of the Alliance." Gregory told him.

"Ok… I'm not sure you'll believe me." Yoshimori said pessimistically with a small sigh.

"Oh, try me?"Gregory stated with an arched eyebrow.

With a sigh Yoshimori opened his mouth to speak, but before he could speak a word the door to his office opened. Hannah and Tomas was standing in the doorway; Hannah was holding a similar tray from this morning.

"So… did I interrupt anything important?" Hannah said curiously.

"No Hannah-Sama… you were not interrupting anything." Yoshimori said while looking at Hannah a bit too quickly. He calmed himself down to speak again. "Gregory-Sama was just finishing up, right?" He said looking towards Gregory with a pleading look in his eyes. Gregory saw this he looked over to Hannah who was waiting to hear if it was true, he looked back down to Yoshimori who was silently begging him to say yes.

"Yes… yes we're done Hannah; he can go with you now." He said awkwardly, letting go of Yoshimori shoulders to allow him to get off the bed.

Hannah was very skeptical of this; Gregory's voice is only that shaky is when he's lying. Hannah thought. With a nod, she temporality accept his reply but she was going to find out the truth before the night was done. "Yoshimori I need to speak to Gregory for a moment, Take the tray and tell Tomas to let you into the room please?" Hannah asked Yoshimori, handing him the tray of food. Yoshimori shakily accepted the tray with both hands and was surprised that it felt very light in weight. He walked towards the open door and enter the hallway, he turned east-ward to head towards their room before the door closed he looked back to Gregory with pleading for him not to say anything to her. Hannah and Gregory both saw this but she didn't see Gregory do a hand gesture to promise Yoshimori he wouldn't tell.

The door shut between the group and both Hannah and Gregory could hear Yoshimori walking away from the door. Hannah, with a stern look on her face turned to face Gregory, who grabbed a bottle of alcohol from his bag he got from the Citadel.

"So, did he say anything to you?" She asked sternly.

"He was… until a certain 'Someone' barged in here." He said with irritation in his voice, while emphasizing the word someone.

Hannah looked at the ground sheepishly at ground, knowing he meant her Whoops.

Gregory sighed, he found two drinking glasses from his desk, he cracked open the bottle and poured himself a drink. He offered Hannah a drink she accepted and grabbed the other glass; she sat on the bed next to his desk and watched Gregory fill her glass halfway.

"So, did Yoshimori say tell you anything before I came in?" Hannah asked while holding her drink.

He drank the liquor in his glass in one gulp. "Well… what I got out of him is that whatever he's hiding he's scared that we'll react negative to him." Gregory responded while grabbing the bottle for more.

"Do you think it's really bad?" Hannah asked after knocking back her drink.

"He said it not but I told him I would only tell others if it threatens the Alliance." Gregory responded with a replenished drink.

"Does that mean you can't tell me either?" Hannah asked while holding out her glass for more, her voice having a twinge of betrayal in it.

"Well… I told him I wouldn't say anything." He said, trying to keep her calm while pouring her another drink.

"Oh, come on Gregory, if it's important I want to know!" She demanded from him, trying to keep calm.

"Look Hannah, if he figures out I told you we might be back to square one." He told her as he filled her drink close to the brim.

Hannah took her glass back and angrily knocked it back and released a sigh.

"So, what should I do then?" Hannah asked calmly, putting her glass down.

"For now, act normal and don't show any signs that I said anything to you." Gregory replied, setting the bottle down.

Nodding in acceptance Hannah stood and grabbed a bottle out of Gregory's bag for herself and walked out of his office. Gregory watched as she left and only after she had step out did he notice the bottle taken. He sighed and looked over the newly created A.P.R of Yoshimori; everything about him was just too weird. From him just being found on the Citadel from all of today, all of it was sum up in one thought Yoshimori what are you hiding?

Hannah walked down the hall with the bottle of alcohol in her hand and was reviewing everything Gregory had told her. So… at least he has a foothold with Yoshimori but what is he so afraid of telling us? Hannah mused as she got closer to her room. When she finally got to the door one thought crossed her mind. Yoshimori what are you hiding from us? She sighed as she opens the door, Yoshimori's back was to her and Tomas was still eating but neither one notices her. She smiled as she decides to play a little joke on Tomas.

"TOMAS, GET AWAY FROM MY PLATE!" Hannah yelled while standing in the doorway.

Tomas jumped a foot in the air with his hands up, while Yoshimori looked towards Hannah and saw her smile, letting him know it was a joke.

"Ididn'ttakeanythingfrom…" Tomas said in a rapid sentence that he didn't notice both Yoshimori and Hannah laughing at his panicked state. He calmed down and had an angry-pouty look on his face.

"That wasn't funny." Tomas said looking down out of embarrassment.

"Well Yoshimori's laughing." Hannah said while walking into the room, she saw that Tomas was looking down at the table in embarrassment, she sighed quietly and walked behind Tomas and hugged him from behind while putting the bottle of alcohol on the table.

"Ok I'm sorry Tomas, but you have to admit it was a little bit funny." Hannah said with trace amounts of humor in her voice while holding him.

"Yeah…it was good one." Tomas said with a small smile, looking over his right shoulder at Hannah with a small smile.

Yoshimori saw the scene unfold in front of him with a small smile. They look so… happy." He thought as his smile slowly slipped from his face. The sight filled him a hollow feeling, to see Tomas and Hannah bonding in front of him it was a happy scene but it made him sad. Mom only did that once or twice, and it wasn't as… tender. Yoshimori lamented with a sad look on his face, which wasn't unnoticed by the other two occupies of the room.

"Yoshimori is something wrong, you look upset?" Hannah said seeing the sad look on his face.

Yoshimori quickly wiped the melancholy look of his face before he answered, "Nothing I'm ok Hannah-Sama, I'm just a bit tired from today's events." Yoshimori lied smoothly.

Hannah was going to pry, but she remembered what Gregory told her and left him alone… for now.

"Well since you two finished your food before me I'll eat in my room, I've got work to finish anyway, so Tomas you and Yoshimori can watch a vid before going to sleep tonight, and Tomas No Horror Vids." Hannah said, with a stern voice on the last part as she let go of Tomas and went over to her plate and grabbed it and the bottle of alcohol. She walked over to her room, opening the door remotely and placed her food on her desk and the liquor in the desk's drawer, she could hear Tomas set up the screen that was attached to the wall for the vid they were to watch. Her door closes and she sits in a computer chair, her desk had nothing but her computer and three pictures involving her. On her left side of her and Tomas when he was four on a colony planet and the other was of her and Gregory in dress uniform saluting to the camera with smiles on their faces, hers being the biggest because of her promotion. There was another picture to her right side it had three people in it a man a woman and a little girl in a summer dress with Chesnutt brown hair styled in a ponytail, the girl was fully visible and smiling but the adults' faces were covered by a black piece of paper, when she looked over at the picture she glared at the two adults, she quickly looked away from them. She turned on her computer, while waiting for it to fully startup she ate her dinner. After a minute the computer was ready, she looked at the screen to see her standard workload of reports that she had to review and approve of where the captain's approval wasn't necessary, with a sigh she got to work.

Meanwhile

In the main area, Tomas and Yoshimori were sitting on the medium- sized loveseat watching the vid on the screen, it was a kids-comedy movie, while Tomas was fully engrossed and was laughing and the antics on the holographic screen Yoshimori was deep in thought about the situation with Gregory. Can I really trust him, I mean this won't threaten anyone besides he said at least listen to what I have to say and he said he won't tell anyone else. He thought to himself Next time I see Gregory I'll tell him everything I can. He planned and focus on the vid and chuckled at the main character's antics. They watched three movies one had a horror sub-plot that they both found cheesy Hannah came out of her room with her dinner plate empty of food and dressed in her PJs. After placing hers and the boy's plates on the return slot she turned towards them.

"Alright you two it's time for bed" Hannah announced.

"Aw come on mom, can't we stay up a bit longer?" Tomas turned to face his mother and begged; "Besides we're not tired." He stated but his argument fell short when he heard Yoshimori yawned loudly Tomas looked over and glared at him, Yoshimori turned red and looked away out of embarrassment for ruining his point.

"Well… Yoshimori might be tired but I'm no…I'm not…" He tried saying before a big, extended yawn escaped his mouth. He quickly closed his mouth and turned bright red also, he looked away so he couldn't see the smug smile on his mother's face.

"I'm sorry Tomas what were you saying about not being tired?" Hannah said teasingly, Tomas refused to answer by pouting while his blush was going down. She had a small smile on her face while slightly shaking her head out of amusement, she saw how stubborn her son was trying and failing to fight off his sleepiness, He's just like me at that age. She thought with a shake of her head.

"That enough you two, the both of you need to go to sleep it's been a long day for us all." She said while stretching out a kink in her back, then turned off the movie with her Omni-tool.

Yoshimori obeyed and went to the bathroom to clean up, he heard Hannah say that she'll leave his new pajamas by the door as the door closed behind himself. He quickly disrobed and took a quick shower, after that and brushing his teeth he turned and saw the pajamas that Hannah bought him today, they were a simple dark blue set. After putting them on he stepped out the bathroom he saw Tomas standing there with his PJs, waiting patiently.

"Well it took you long enough." Tomas said jokingly, before Yoshimori could respond Tomas slipped past him and he could hear the slide closed. He sighed and walked towards Hannah, who was sitting on the small couch that him and Tomas.

"So… am I going to sleep in Tomas's room again?" Yoshimori asked.

"Yeah… why you don't like it?" She replied with mock offence.

"NO, I just… I don't want to be any trouble." He said slightly panicking but quickly calming down. With a small sigh, Hannah gently pulled him towards herself and sat him down on the couch she was sitting on.

"You're not any trouble Yoshimori, although we weren't expecting another person, were happy to have you with us." Hannah said, bringing Yoshimori into a small hug.

Within the hug Yoshimori could feel tears stinging at his eyes for her actions filled him with joy. Why is she doing this… she has no reason to do this and yet she… she…sh. His thoughts stopped as he buried his head into the side of her stomach and started to sob heavily.

Hannah was very surprised by this reaction. "Yoshimori what's wrong?" She asked trying to calm him down. Great job Hannah you broke the poor boy. She berated herself. She rubbed his back soothingly, trying to calm him down.

"Yoshimori, I'm sorry if what I said upset you ." Hannah said, trying to calm him down.

"It's not that Hannah-Sama." Yoshimori muttered, trying to stem the flow of his tears.

"Then… what's wrong?" Hannah said confused, trying to find out why he was crying.

"It… It's just I…d…don't understand…why. He said, hiccupping.

"I don't think I need a reason to save a child if he's in danger, and besides I said you aren't any trouble, we're happy you're here, the both of us." She told Yoshimori with a reassuring smile.

Yoshimori heard Hannah's reasoning and was happy that she had found him. "So, you can stop crying Yoshimori." She said calmingly, Yoshimori nodded as his tears stopped flowing, hugging her tightly as he could. "Arigatō Hannah-Sama." Yoshimori said with a sniffle.

Meanwhile

Tomas had finish his shower a few minutes ago, he was going to leave the bathroom when he heard his mom and Yoshimori's conversation. He cracked the door slightly to hear more and saw and heard them from start to finish. After all was said and done between the two Yoshimori said goodnight to his mom and went into his room to sleep. Tomas felt pity for Yoshimori. You are just so mysterious, Yoshimori. He thought reviewing his mini-breakdown, the more he tried to understand Yoshimori's actions the more it confused him. With an irritated sigh, his mind couldn't find an answer for the hold situation. "Ok I'll let this go for now." He said to himself. "But just you wait Yoshimori, I will find out what you're hiding." He whispered to himself. Before he could say anything, he was startled by a knock on the bathroom door. "Tomas, are you done yet?" His mom asked.

"Y…yes mom, I'm coming out now." He stuttered as he opened the door.

Standing in the doorway was his mother, he noticed that the left side of her pajamas had a wet stain on the mid-left side. That must be from Yoshimori crying. Tomas thought until Hannah cleared her throat loudly, causing him to refocus his attention on her.

"So… I guess you hear all of that, outside didn't you?" Hannah asked awkwardly, Tomas nodded.

"Is he ok?" He asked with concern in his eyes.

"Yeah…. he ok, don't worry Tomas he just adjusting to a new place." Hannah to ease her son but neither of them bought her buy that excuse. "Well its time you to go to bed Tomas." She said in a tone that said all conversation was done.

Tomas knew this and walked passed her and towards his mother room, before he enters he spares one more look to his room then goes in his mom's room and was in bed waiting for her. She closed the bathroom door for privacy.

Hannah discarded her ruined top and placed it on the 2nd high self of the closet to wash it later. She went over to sink and wash her face before he went to bed, she reached over to her right for a towel to wipe her face down. After a few moments of blindly reaching she grabbed something and wiped her face down, she pulled the object back to see it was the sleeve of already ruined pink PJ top. Well… I got to wash it anyway. She thought with a sigh as she placed back where she left it. She grabbed a spare grey top from closet, she looked at her reflection before putting it on. You couldn't tell I had a kid. She noted about her body, her skin a bit pale from her time spent on ships and rarely going on planet surfaces without survival gear, but her abs and biceps told how she maintains herself and her military lifestyle helped with that, however she wasn't overly buff and she still had feminine curves concerning her waist and her breast, which were concealed by a plain white bra. She buttoned up the grey pajama top and stepped out of bathroom, as the door closed behind her she walked to her room. When the door opened, she saw Tomas was fast asleep, with a sigh she slid into the into the bed beside him and soon fell asleep herself.

In Tomas's room.

Yoshimori violently tossed and turned in his sleep, his brow creased with sweat and he gripped the sheets tensely. He was having another nightmare.

Dream Sequence

Yoshimori saw that he was back home and was in front of Karasumori again, but some felt something was off; though it was nighttime yet it felt more ominous than before, the sky was pitch black and was moonless. He enters the courtyard the unusually to see the state of the area; the buildings walls were cracked and the paint was faded as if the place was abandon, the surrounding plant life was dead and window were shattered, it was as if the place had been abandon for years. As he walked through the courtyard he saw a group of bodies lying motionless on the ground, he approached them and was horrified by the sight. In front of him was his grandfather, dad, and his little brother on the ground; their limbs bent and twisted in unusable positions, the wounds on their bodies look as if they were gored to death and their skin was greyish in color. Like Tokine, the scariest thing about them were their eyes, they all were cold and lifeless and they were staring right at him. He couldn't take the sight anymore, he turned and ran away from the sight. He was trying to reach the main gate but the path he was running on seem to go on forever, he felt himself trip over a patch of land and fell to the ground, his reflexes allow him to keep from falling to his face. But the ground felt weird he checked his hand to see his palm was covered by blood, he stood up to find that he was surrounded by a huge pool of blood, the blood came up to his ankles and it stretched as far he could see.

"It's your fault…" He heard from behind.

He turned around to see Tokine, and was horrified by the sight of her. Her skin was now almost translucent white as if she was a ghost; the diagonal cut on her look as if was becoming infected for it was red and swollen, her scar on her right arm was being effected by necrosis, for parts of the skin on her arm was rotting away and he could see part of her arm bone from his position, her eyes were void of any life, but she looked at him with disdain and hatred.

"It's all your fault Yoshimori." She hissed at him, he wanted to drop to his knees and beg her for forgiveness but he couldn't move or speak at all. "Now, you'll join us." She said coldly.

Yoshimori then felt hands grabbed his legs and started to pull him down into the blood pond, he tried to pull himself back up to the surface, but the more he struggled the farther down he sunk. He found himself with the blood up to his neck, he choked and gaged when the blood entered his mouth. He saw his vision fade as he was fully submerged and started to drown in the blood.

Dream Sequence End

"NO!" Yoshimori shouted aloud while quickly sitting up in the bed. He was shaking and breathing heavily from his recent nightmare. Why me? He lamented in thought. "Well… no use to try going back to sleep now" He said with a sigh, he got out of the bed and could feel how the sheets and his new pajamas were caked up with sweat. He left Tomas's room and headed to the bathroom, he noticed that the living area was completely dark however Yoshimori could recognize the shape of the loveseat in the darkness. He used it to find the door, which was very simple since he was used to fighting in the dark. Once inside he washed his face from the sweat, he looked at himself in the mirror; He saw how the bags under his eyes and how exhausted he was from the nightmare. Why are they coming like this now? He mused, He had nightmares about Tokine before, but they never this frequent or visceral. He let out an angry sigh. Why am I obsessing over this, it's not like I can or would go back home now, right…right? He wiped his face off and was about to leave the bathroom but then tried to think what he could do next. I don't know what to do now. He thought aimlessly, he didn't want to go back to bed, knowing he wouldn't be able go back to sleep. "I… guess I could watch T.V." He said to himself, he opened the door to see the still pitch-black living area. With the light from the bathroom he could see the loveseat in front of him and could see a pair of pale grey gloves on the table.

"What are these gloves for?" He wondered to himself while slipping on one of the glove. While it didn't fit him perfectly as they were for an adult he could wear them. When he was done, he saw a small holographic display popped up in front of him. He tried to touch it with his non-gloved hand it had passed through it. He tried again to see that it would pass through it, but when he used his gloved hand press he feel his hand press against it. With that he turned on the screen to see it was displaying everything in English. Since he couldn't read it he was at a loss at what to do, with a forlorn sigh he was going to turn it off but his gloved hand skidded past the switch and hit the language option. He saw different forms of language pop up in front of him, he saw that one was Japanese. He pressed the option and saw the text change from English to Japanese allowing him to understand what was on the screen. He saw a list of programs available to watch he cycled through most the programs that were available, he started on action and passed on different genres until he stopped on historic. He clicked on it showing documentaries on events he had never heard about; such as the Krogan Rebellions, a race of sentient robots known as the Geth, but the one that Yoshimori was interested in was named "Birth of the Alliance and the First- Contact War." He pressed play and watched it unfolded.

"What's that sound?" Hannah asked groggily.

She sat up and looked around her room to find where the noise was coming from, she stopped looking and focused on her door and saw that a light coming from the outside of her room. As her training came into effect she was able shake herself into a half- awake state, she could hear muffled voices coming though. She slipped out of her bead, while trying not to wake Tomas, to see what causing the noise. She opened the door quietly to see Yoshimori sitting on the couch watching a vid. She closed the door behind her and approached the couch.

"Yoshimori… what are doing up?" Hannah asked tiredly.

Yoshimori jumped in surprise and paused the documentary turning to see Hannah, who was blocking her face with her hand from the glare of the T.V. "Hannah-Sama, I…I'm sorry for waking you up." He stammered while keeping his voice down so that he didn't wake Tomas up.

"I thought you went to bed a while ago; did you have a nightmare?" She asked, he nodded his head saying yes. She was going to ask about it but decided against it.

"Well… I guess you stay up a little bit longer." She said while getting used to the light, she her him mutter out a thank you. "Tell you what I'll even stay up with you until you're ready to go back to sleep Ok?" She said, he agreed happily she sat next to him she press play to continue the documentary while watching Hannah had only one thought I'm might regret this in the morning.

After three different documentaries Hannah was still on the couch, her eyes were bloodshot and squinted from watching the screen, she looked over to see that Yoshimori had finally fallen back to sleep and he was laying his head on the right side of her body. "Finally, he's asleep." She said quietly. "Now let me… just get up and… take him to the room…" she said only for her to doze off and fall asleep on the couch with him, as she fell asleep she subconsciously wrapped her arm around him.

"…m…om…Mom." She heard Tomas's voice in her ear, she cracked open her eyes slightly and saw Tomas standing in front of her. He was still in his pajamas; she was still a little bit tired from last night but she looked to her right and noticed that Yoshimori was still asleep next to her.

"What time is it?" She asked quietly.

"Its 5 minutes passed 0900 mom." he said.

"Oh… ok." She said while closing her eyes, but when she heard the time again in her head she realized that she was late, and she responded to this as properly as a person with children in in the room could.

"OH CRAP!" She shouted while jolting to an upright position, her shout was so loud that Tomas jumped back in surprised and she also awoken Yoshimori with her loud cry. She jumped off the couch and ran into her room.

"What's going on?" Yoshimori asked with a yawn as he sat upright.

"Mom's running a bit late." Tomas replied.

The boys heard the door opened and saw Hannah with a fresh uniform in her arms was running into the bathroom to freshen up and change. The door had shut after she entered and the green symbol changed to red.

"Is she going to get in trouble?" Yoshimori asked curiously.

"Not really, since I'm onboard with her the captain a bit lenient with her sometimes." Tomas explained, a growl sounded throughout the room and the source was Yoshimori he wrapped his stomach and looked down sheepishly. "You're hungry too?" He asked, Yoshimori nodded yes.

The bathroom door opened and stepped out Hannah dressed in her uniform. Before she left the area, she turned to Tomas and Yoshimori "Ok guys, I can't get you two breakfast since I'm running late already, but I'll stop by the Med bay and ask Gregory to escort you two at the half-way point ok?" She said, the boys nodded saying yes. "Ok after you two finish you can either come back here or go to the observation deck and I'll check up on you both when I get a break got it?" She asked they nodded once again. With a smile, she hugged the two boys and then rushed out of door. After a few minutes, have pass the boys had washed up and put on the clothes that Hannah bought them on the Citadel and walked out the room to meet up with Gregory. After a short walk, they saw Gregory, he was standing with his back against the wall he looked over to see the two boys walking towards him, he pushed himself off the wall and gave a small wave to the boys to alert them of his presence.

"Hey, you two, so Hannah was late today… well there's a first time for everything." He said, laughing at his own joke but he noticed that the boys were not and they were staring at him awkwardly. His laugh turned into an awkward chuckle and stopped he cleared his throat.

"Well now... let's get you two some breakfast" He said with shaky smile and walked with the two boys in tow.

While Gregory and Tomas were talking as they walked Yoshimori lagged contemplating if he should tell Gregory about his life again. Should I… I mean it wouldn't mess with any security and it might help in the end… Yoshimori mused as they near their destination, as walked into the cafeteria he knew what his decision was.

The boys were sitting at a table waiting for Gregory to bring them their food, the both boys were bored however only Yoshimori could hide his boredom, Tomas however…

"Come on… how long does it take to get breakfast?" Tomas whined from waiting.

"You know Tomas it pays to be patient you know" Yoshimori said in a sage-like tone.

"Funny, because I know you're as bored as I am." He said, looking over at him with half-opened eyes.

"Well…" Yoshimori said, looking away in embarrassed from being busted.

Tomas smirked and turned backed towards where Gregory was and saw that he was still waiting for the food. How long does it take to get food? He thought, with a sigh. He was about to close his eyes but he felt Yoshimori tapped him on his shoulder.

"Tomas, after breakfast what are you planning to do next?" He asked curiously.

"Well… I was planning to go up the observation deck, why?" Tomas asked, looking over at him.

"I need to talk to Gregory-Sama about… something." Yoshimori replied vaguely.

"And what would 'something' be?" He asked, turning his head to face him and looking at Yoshimori intensely.

"It's… personal." Yoshimori said while avoiding his gaze.

Tomas was about to press on what he said, but the both were surprised by Gregory coming back to the table carrying three plates on a big tray. "Here you go boys." He said handing the plates out to the boys. Gregory said a quick prayer then began eating, Yoshimori said "itadakimasu" quietly and started to eat, Tomas just tore into his food with wild abandon. After the three of them were finished they were trying to decide what to do next, they made small talk about random topics until Gregory looked at the time on his Omni-tool.

"Well I have to get back to my so you two are free to go back to your cabin or the observation deck if you want." Gregory said while getting up and started to leave the table.

"Gregory-Sama Wait a minute!" Yoshimori said, following in suit to catch up with Gregory.

"What is it Yoshimori?" He asked, turning to see Yoshimori standing behind him/

"I need to speak with you about my… 'personal problem'." The boy said, saying the last two words quietly.

Personal problem… what problem could he have…, OH. He wondered and then it clicked in Gregory's mind.

"Ok follow me then." He said, but before the two walked out of the cafeteria he called out to Tomas.

"Tomas, are you going be in here for a while or are you going up to the observation room?" he asked.

"I think I'm going to the observation deck for now." Tomas said.

With a nod of acceptance Gregory and Yoshimori left the cafeteria, leaving Tomas on his own, he stayed at the table for a few seconds before he left. He walked down the hall until he reached the elevator, he was about call it down but a thought popped into his head. Gregory is probably going to get Yoshimori to talk about himself, and he might get him to say where he came from so… With a mischievous smirk, he ran down the hall towards the medical hall. I got you now Yoshimori. He thought as he hurried to his destination.

Yoshimori was very nervous, he made the choice to talk but it still didn't make it easy. No turning back now is there. He thought with a mental sigh "So now we have a chance to talk without Hannah interrupting us." Gregory said breaking Yoshimori out of his thoughts.
"Yeah…" Yoshimori said shyly.

"Are you still nervous Yoshimori, like I said before if your secret doesn't threaten the Alliance I won't freak out about it." Gregory said calmly, trying to coax Yoshimori to talk.

"Ok, but I have one question for you." Yoshimori asked with a sigh he asked Gregory "Do you believe in the supernatural?"

Well that came out of leftfield. Gregory thought, he noticed that Yoshimori waiting for him to answer. He cleared his throat to answer the boy. "Well yes and no, I can't say I believe everything that's considered supernatural but if you mean like ghosts and stuff I kind of do mainly because I always get this eerie feeling when I step onto old battlefields, did that answer your question Yoshimori?" He said waiting for his response.

"Somewhat, I guess I can tell you…I am a Kekkaishi." The boy said reveling what he is. A moment passed pasted before Gregory cocked his brow in confusion. "What the heck is a Kekkaishi?"

Yoshimori had mental sweatdrop Of course he wouldn't know about it, what normal person would? He thought while mentally face-palming.

"I shouldn't be surprise that you haven't heard of what it is…a Kekkaishi is a demon exterminator, we are the traditional guardians of Karasumori." The boy said, though the last part had a slight undertone of bitterness.

Gregory heard the bitter tone but he would question it right now, he had many questions for the boy. "Yoshimori do you think you could give me a few details?" He asked, Yoshimori nodded.

He told Gregory his limited knowledge that his grandfather had drilled into him and how he was the legitimate heir for his family and what happened to bring him here. Gregory listen to it all and took down everything mentally, he was honestly floored by what he heard. This does explain the scan results, still to face down demons at his age most people would have a mental break- down. He mentally praised the boy in front of him. "Well I can honestly say I'm speechless by what you've told me and you are very brave for your age." He told Yoshimori.

"No, I'm not, I really hated the job, to have to do it till I die was horrible enough the reason that I kept doing it was because of…" He argued but stopped suddenly.

"Because of what Yoshimori?" Gregory asked with curiosity.

"Nothing, so is that all you wanted to know?" He said with a twinge of melancholy.

Gregory wanted to get more information out of him but didn't want to strain him "Yeah that's all for now and don't worry your secret is save with me, you better get going, Tomas is probably waiting for you." Gregory said letting Yoshimori go

The boy nodded and hopped off the cot he was sitting on. Before he could press the holographic button to open the door, Gregory stopped him for one last question,

"Yoshimori one last question, what is your last name?"

"It's Sumimura, but don't put on the record ok." He said answering the question.

Gregory nodded accepting his request and let him be on his way. Yoshimori turned and opened the door, as he stepped into the hallway he could feel a presence watching him, he looked to his left to come face to face with Tomas.

"GAH you scared me, wha…what are you doing here." He asked after feeling his heart return to its normal speed, while simultaneously panicking Please tell me he didn't hear my secret. He mentally begged to the heavens.

"You were taking so long so I decide to wait for you so we could go together Yoshimori." Tomas said calming Yoshimori down. He was waiting for me…wow that was nice of him. He mused.

"So, you ready to go or what?" Tomas asked, getting ready to walk on

"Coming!" Yoshimori said joining him

Unbeknownst to Yoshimori Tomas was eavesdropping on Gregory's and his conversation, he wanted to tell him but considering how much bitterness was in his voice when he talked about it he decided to not to say anything. I'll leave it alone Yoshimori… for now. He thought absently as the two walked to the elevator.

Wow I really didn't think it would take so long. I want to apologize for taking so long to update, so I spent all my spring break making this chapter. So, I have a question for you all do you want shorter or longer chapters? I'll wait for your answers; it'll be awhile before the next chapter is made because of school but the next one will be a timeskip. So, enjoy this Easter gift of mine, Until then.
