Warnings.

(This is a flash back Gen talking to Shinigami.)

"Why is Serah living with your song? I know he is your son but not only is he a boy! But he is a smart boy…" Gen spoke.

"Kiddo is a good boy he will protect Serah and Kei…and isn't that what they both need?" Shinigami answered back.

"I don't want to involve any more people into this…" Gen grabbed his forehead.

"We are friends and your daughter is very nice! I hope one day that she could be my own daughter!" Shinigami humored.

Gen twitched. "Shinigami if your son touches my daughter I will not hold back!" He said with fire in his eyes.

"Haha. Calm down my friend! What ever happens will happen." those words just made things worse.

"IF HE DARES TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HER AHH! I MUST GET HIM NOW BEFORE HE DOES!"

"SHINIGAMI CHOP!"

Gen squated down rubbing his head.

"Back to matters, Serah is living with Kid because of protection. I did have a worry of him finding out who she is but is that really a problem?"

Gen froze, he got up facing the wall. "You know if word gets out…"

Shinigami interrupted, "I know things will go bad if people find out but…does that mean that she has to hold this secrete to everyone? She cannot even tell Maka her own family? You haven't even told her who her mother is haven't you?"

Gen turned around and looked at Shinigami for a long while. "if she knew then she would wonder her mother's death…"

"She has the right to know Gen…"

"One day she will!" Gen snapped. "just not now…she….she will be like me if she finds out…"

Shinigami looked at his friend with sad eyes. Gen has been filled with anger ever since his wife died. He has hidden so many things from his daughter that if she knew she might hate him. What scared him the most though was that she would be just like him. Enraged abandoning everything, risking her life to take revenge on the people who killed her mother.

Gen is not only protecting his daughter but he is consumed by revenge. He knows this but is still not able to get ride of the feeling.

"Time is running short but you already know it…" Shinigami said.

"Kei will tell her…but when the time is right…she…she needs happiness…I don't want to add more bad memories for her…" Gen's eyes had sadness all over them but he didn't cry.

"Okay, she wont know yet…but…she needs to train the power soon. If they tell her then they might trick her into doing dangerous things."

"I know I have warned Kei…" Gen straighten up and walked to the door.

"Thank you my friend for everything your dong for me for us…"

"Of course! I know you would have done the same for me!" Shinigami changed the mood completely. Gen laughed.

"Of course! But you better keep your son from touching my daughter!"

"But I've already made the marriage preparations!" Shinigami said in his playful tone.

"SHINIGAMI!"

"What do you think they are talking about?" Serah asked Kei and Spirit.

"Who knows." Kei shrugged and put his arms on the back of his head. Of course he and Spirit both knew what was going on in that room. the time is coming Serah…I'll protect you I swear…

Kei thought to himself.
