"Really? If that's true I don't know how I can show you my gratitude My Lord." Kise really impressed with their Lord now. He really didn't know about Lord was the real reason behind his adoption to red residence. He think it was merely because their mother giving them a pity.
"It's alright already. It is my job as The Lord, isn't it? Let's continue, shall we?" Ryuu smile warmly to them. "How about you, would you introduce yourself young man?" Ryuu look at Midorima in the eyes, gesturing him to intoduce himself.
"Well then, it's my turn now. My name is Midorima Shintarou My Lord, I was supposed to be the fourth son being taken under my mother care, Reia, even though I'm the youngest one if we considered from my actual age." Midoma introduce his self with clear voice.
"Midorima… You're from Midori clan, young man?" Ryuu asked him when he trying to recall a certain rumor about a certain clan.
There was a slight pause before Midorima answered his Lord question.
"… Yes, My Lord."
"So you were Midorima, the famous one. It's really amusing how rumors about you reach my ear before I met you personally, Midorima-kun. It's really unfortunate what Midori Clan do to you. They were really an old-fashioned one, weren't they?"
"If you think so….. My Lord" Midorima answering without looking in the lord's eyes as he remembering how his ex clan cruelty towards him. The air suddenly feels heavy for a moment before Ryuu words broke the silence.
"I'm sorry. You must be uncomfortable with my questions before, right?" Ryuu said realizing Midorima uncomfortable gestures towards his question earlier.
"Is that supposed to be answered? You were not a sensitive person after all, you just don't know how to stop." comments Kagami with his sharp words.
"Really? I wonder. Well… you were not the person who knows how to stop from butting in someone else conversation, Taiga." Ryuu make his comeback with another sharp word.
"What? You…" Kagami words left unfinished when Midorima butting in to answer Ryuu question.
"Ehm, that's not true my Lord and thank you for your concern, Kagami…. -sama?" Midorima said with uncertainty in his words, confused with how he supposed to call Kagami and decided to call Kagami with a respectful name like his mother use.
"There's no need, I didn't worry about you. And why did you call me Kagami-sama? Its creep me out hearing that from you." Kagami said with frowned eyebrows and unreadable look from his eyes.
"I'm sorry? Creeps you out? What do you mean by that if I can ask Kagami….-san?" Midorima replied still trying to be respectful toward his lord little brother even though his anger side starting to boil within him.
"There you do it again, you really creeping me out now. It's weird hearing that from someone like you. Stop adding any formal words in my name. Just my name will be enough." Now Kagami wearing annoyed face.
"Someone…..like me? What are you really trying to say KA..GA..MI?" Midorima snapped with Kagami previous comment. 'What did he say? Someone like ME? Someone like me isn't good enough you mean?!' Yell Midorima inside his head.
"It's what I say…" Kagami said lazily, not content to explain any further.
"Will both of you stops fighting now? You are disturbing everyone else." Kuroko suddenly show up in front of Kagami and Midorima. Make everyone jumping in surprise, except for Ryuu who is already used to his weak presence, and Akashi who is never set his eyes off from Kuroko since they entered this room.
"ARKHH! Oh my gosh my heart, my heart.…." Kise let out his shrieked voice for a second time this day.
"Kagami-kun, will you stop picking a fight?" Kuroko said with his body facing Kagami and his back facing Midorima.
"What? I didn't." Kagami argue back to Kuroko.
"Well, you were. Please stop being rude toward our guest. I'm really sorry Midorima-kun, he always like this every time he gets bored." Kuroko reply with his still monotone but soft voice and his void eyes while facing Midorima and look him in the eyes.
Midorima can heard sincerity in Kuroko words and realized Kuroko attempt to calm him down. Feeling ashamed even though his not a kid anymore, but just a few words about his clan can make him this worked out. It works though, Midorima feel calmer now when his head not cloudy anymore.
"Hey, why did you apologize in my place? What are you? My mother?" asked Kagami in disbelief.
"I don't remember ever once being your mother, Kagami-kun." Kuroko replies with his still monotone voice.
"Now, now, please stop. I'm really sorry about my little brother behavior, Midorima-kun. He can be a little annoying sometimes." Say Ryuu trying to light the situation.
"Annoying? I get it from you after all." Kagami snort while he wears a mocking look in his face.
"Really? I don't remember ever doing anything like that, my dear little brother. Rather I always handle you with care and gentleness." Reply Ryuu amused with his little brother words about him. His inner side already smirking knowing what his little brother implying to.
"Heh. What did you say? Like I ever forgotten how I was tortured with your gentleness towards me every time you got bored with your works." Kagami said with agony and sarcasm in his voice.
He can still clearly remember in the past how he spent some dark times together with who was supposed to be a big brother to him. Just remembering that makes Kagami chill in his spine. Saying it was terrible was underrated, it was hell. Even though Ryuu insisted that was how he showing his loves for his little brother. Who would believe that when he ate Ryuu lie's willingly causing him to wear a kimono for women in his first party and singing with pink apron under Ryuu's binding words while cooking for Ryuu's food? Who will?
"Ah, it was pleasant memories weren't it?" said Ryuu teasing his little brother.
"Pleasant? How can that be pleasant memories?!" Kagami run out his patience. Everyone can see his red face just few seconds before he explodes. But fortunately, Kuroko stop him with his still monotone voice.
"Why did both of you fighting now?" Kuroko said with supposed to be disbelieving expression, but his face didn't change much from before after all.
"Eh, Ehmm. Now, shall we go back to our conversation?" Ryuu taken back with Kuroko words and realizes everyone attention fall towards them. And add to everyone amusement he says
"I can't help to remembering my good memories with my little brother back then. It was really a good memories."
"I understand my lord. Like everyone knows already, you really do love your little brother. Let me introduce to you my lord, this is my second oldest son, Aomine Daiki and tallest one Murasakibara Atsushi. They were living with humans before war. They had taken to red residence when their home got destroyed because of the war." Reia introduces her two sons who was stunned for a while seeing his lord behavior towards his brother.
"I see. It must be really a tragic experience for both of you." Ryuu said giving a sympathy look for both of them.
"Yeah, it is. But we are starting to move on from the pain that was caused from the war now." Aomine replies with a truth in his words.
The pain that was from losing his families and home in the war a century ago leaving a deep scar for everyone who was involved back then, it's not exception with all of the generation of miracles. Even Aomine who supposed to be the strongest member in the generation of miracles has a heart too, it still hurts when someone close to you died and not to mention in horrible way. It doesn't matter whether you a pureblood or not, human or not, children or adult, boy or girl, every living being must has a feeling too, right? And Ryuu, as the lord who's already lives for centuries know this better than everyone.
"Is that so? I'm glad to hear that Aomine-kun. You must be really happy with your surrounding now." Ryuu's bright smile and reassuring voice enlighten the mood almost instantly.
"I am. No, all of us actually." Aomine smile gracefully with his and his brother situation now. Thanking his mother for his kind caring and gentleness towards them even though they're not her biological children. Their situation now is much better than back then.
"I'm glad. You really raise them finely, Reia." Ryuu kind words make Reia truly thankful that they have a generous lord like him.
"Thank you my lord."
"Now, you already introduced all of your sons. I think it's a good courtesy if we introduce ourselves too, Taiga, Tetsuya-kun."
"Alright, Ryuu-san. Good evening everyone, my name is Kuroko Tetsuya. I'm under Ryuu-san, one of the Four Lords cares right now. It's nice to meet you." Kuroko introduces himself with an elegant bow in the end, who added for everyone liking and enjoyment with his well mannered behavior.
"My name is Kagami Taiga, like you know before I'm under this person care right now." Kagami cold and unreadable eyes already back in his face. Both Reia and Raoul know Kagami actually not a cold person inside, he can be polite and open up with someone who he knows and worthy with it. But for someone who barely know him or meet with him for the first time, in this case generation of miracles, they failed to notice this.
"Is that everything Taiga? Well if you already finished then it's my turn. My name is Ryuu Ishida. I'm one of the Four Lords who watched over Japan for nearly one century now. In the other side of this world people more know me as the East Lord who controlled over east region. Nice to meet you everyone." Ryuu introduces himself casually with a grace and dignity while every word comes out from his mouth, like he did in the main hall back then. It looks so natural, like the tone and the voices that comes out from his mouth is well preserved for him only.
"It's nice to meet you too Ryuu-sama." All of the generation of miracles said in unison. Even Aomine and Murasakibara know how to show their respect toward the most powerful person in the east region. The council who is known as the foundation of laws in stigma world can't even dare to defy and upset him.
"Well then, shall we go to the main point? The reason why I call all of you tonight, especially you Generation of Miracles?" Ryuu smiling with a mysterious look wearing in his face, making Kagami now sweat in restless waiting for the fate that waits in front of them.
'Ooh, this is not good…. This is Ryuu what we're talking about after all.' Kagami face palm inside his head, even though his cold expression didn't left him at all.
