~~~~~4 days later~~~~
Emily had been travelling constantly and being beaten every day. However, there were hardly any wounds on her body, due to her incredible regeneration she hadn't lost with her Senkai powers. The Youngest had told her some info about his family, but not about their abilities. She had to give him a point for his fidelity.
Apparently, the Father was actually their parent. Their mother had been killed by Shinigami even though she had done nothing wrong. They were a very poor family and hated the nobles.
The Father was a very cruel man who only cared about power and used his children as tools. He was about Fuku-Taicho level and wanted to get strong via the easy way, using Jyubi.
His daughter was a blood thirsty hatred filled woman who only obeyed her Father and Older brother. Otherwise, she was pretty much like a Hollow. They said she had become like that when their mother died.
The Older brother was a very dark person. He was easily taken over by anger and was really loyal to his Father. He barely cared about his younger siblings, having completely inherited his Father's heart regarding them.
The Youngest sibling resembled his mother the most from what she got. Despite living with cruel people, he cared about others and his only resemblance to them was the fact that they hated each other. He pitied Emily for what his crazy sister was doing to her, but he had claimed he didn't love her. "Had you been a man, things wouldn't have been different." Were his words.
Emily was curious about their mother. She had seemed a good person, so she was probably set up. It was hard for Emily to imagine how a nice person could have such a husband and such children, but she didn't have to.
Coming back to present, the psycho sissy was preparing to hit her, when the Youngest stopped her. Her eyes widened in anger and she yelled, trying to hit him, which he easily blocked. 'Hakuda master!' she thought, shocked.
"Father!" she yelled. "The Youngest is disobeying my will."
"How dare you? Idiot! Know your place in this family." The Older said.
The Older lounged at him. The yYoungest easily dodged all his attacks and hit him with his knee in the stomach, bringing him on his knees. When the Sister attacked, he also sent her flying. So far, he was proving to be the best at hand-to-hand combat. However, the Father hit him with the back of his sword on his backhead, causing him to pass out. The elder also slashed his chest, leaving his unconscious son with a lethal wound.
"Let's go! Get up, pussies!"
Emily stared at him, shocked at his cruelty. "A-are you going to… just leave him there?"
He gave her an uninterested look. "Do you care that much? He's my son. I made him, I killed him. Do you see those two? Unlike him, they know this. You shouldn't care that much. Worry more about yourself. My daughter is pissed."
Emily held back her tears and complied. She didn't cry from pain. She cried from the loss of a friend, her only comfort in those dark days. Her mid then travelled back to the one she loved more than anything, the one that was surely searching for her. 'Shinji, where are you?'
~~~~~About a few hours later, same place~~~~
"Guys, fuckin hurry! We're going to be late!" Shinji yelled.
Kensei got angry. "What the fuck? Is it my fault that you are so hurried to save your girlfriend? Give me a break already! I won't deny it, I am worried, but if we reach them exhausted and get ourselves nicely killed, then there's no point in going!"
Rose ignored his friends, having sensed a vanishing reiatsu right in front of them. The other two followed him and killed the Hollows surrounding the corpse-to-be. They healed him together and waited for the man to wake up.
The Youngest woke up. 'Am I dead? Ah, my head hurts, so I'm alive. Where am I?' When he had attacked his sister, he was expecting to be killed, so he was probably saved by some strangers. But what good did they do? He now had no life, he couldn't go back and he didn't know what to do on his own.
Splash!
He was brought back to life by someone who threw cold water on his face.
"Oi, Kensei, you shouldn't have done that! Look, now he's all wet! He may even catch a cold."
"Shut up, Rose! You're not my boss!"
"And you're not mine! I was just giving advice!"
"It sounded like an order!"
"Like hell it did!"
The Youngest watched the two men argue like children. He couldn't help but be reminded of his siblings. So he was expecting them to start fighting, which, surprisingly enough, they didn't.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT IT!" a third voice boomed, covering their arguments. "Listen, I am not in the mood for your bitching so end it here and now! You woke the kid, now hear him out! Maybe he knows something about Emmalin."
The Youngest scanned the 3rd speaker. 'Long blonde hair. Impossible!'
~~~~~Flashback~~~~~
The Youngest burst out laughing. "That's emasculating!"
Emily chuckled. "I thought so as well, but when you see him, you realize it's not."
"No really? Long hair? Waist length? That's longer than yours!"
Emily giggled. "Fine, you're right. But don't make the mistake to tell him what you really think."
"Oh, he's the Taicho you were with!"
"Yep!"
~~~~~~End of Flashback~~~~
"So, kiddo, tell us how you got that." Kensei said.
Rose rolled his eyes. "You're freaking him out with that grin."
Do I really need to tell you what happened after? No? Okay, here's the result.
Shinji stood in front of the Youngest, watching him intently. Kensei and Rose were 'sleeping.' The Youngest shuddered. 'Creepy.'
"So, who are you?" Shinji asked calmly.
The Youngest shifted uncomfortably. "I am… one of your girlfriend's kidnappers." He had to give the other man some points for staying impassive, but something told him that he was boiling on the inside.
"How did you get here?"
"I… attacked my Sister when she tried to hit Emily again." Shinji flinched, his eyes widening. "The Older attacked me then, but I'm stronger than him or Sis, even though I'm the Youngest. But Father hit me and I passed out."
Shinji sighed, slowly closing his eyes in guilt. "How is she?"
"She was fine before I left, Hirako-san. We would talk at night. She only told me good things about you."
Shinji smiled. "What are these guys planning to do?"
The Youngest hesitated a little. "They want to steal Jyubi and share him amongst themselves."
"Damn. We want to take Emily back."
"I will help you."
"Thank you. This will be mentioned should you decide to return to Sereitei with us. For now, rest. It's an order."
The Youngest bowed and went to sleep. He was trying to consider his options and Shinji's proposal was really tempting.
