GHOST
Here is chapter 35.
I do not own Inazuma Eleven or Attack on Titan.
Enjoy!
35:Christmas with family and Friends... oh joy.
Today was Christmas day, a lot had happened in the final months before school closed.
Mainly in Japan.
Light had shared his disturbing inquiry about the Endou boy especially on how Endou had dragged a player who clearly didn't want anything to do with soccer and had swore to never indulge in it again to turn that belief on its head and make the boy player soccer again. Now that Gouenji was now permanently on the soccer club, the club was growing at an alarming rate.
Special moves were popping out of nowhere to balance out the team and they even had gotten revenge for their crushing power loss against Royal with a finishing move called 'THE INAZUMA DROP 1' which he just plunged into Light mind and saw through his memories to find out what it was, now that Jude had transferred to Raimon team because Jude team got their asses kicked and most of them were in the hospital because of a little soccer team called 'Zeus junior high' which think their gods.
He held back a laugh at the thought of humans thinking of themselves as god.
It was too funny! So far Zeus had demolished every school they've come across and Raimon junior High was trying to get revenge for all those people that they've put in hospital.
If it were him, he would make sure he wouldn't do a stupid thing like that and actually pick them off one by one in the shadows so that when it's game day the opposing team wouldn't even have enough player to play against him! The more he heard about Zeus junior high the more he wanted to go over there and poison their 'water' supply and see how they deal with it. If they were truly gods they won't even get a bellyache when they drink the water let alone land themselves in the hospital to get their stomach pumped.
Back in Italy, he had been busy doing lots jobs here and there, alongside training the new recruits of his soccer team because funny enough the champions for the previous one don't participate until the final match so they got ages to train and was willing to bet that Fidio Aldena would be there too. There simply was no reason for Italy future captain to not be there, the timeline should still be stable enough to let that be the case.
Not only was he busy these days, the phone that he designed had finally got its own advert and had aired just a couple of months ago and the 'G' phone was out a week ago. It was easily the fastest sell out phone in the whole of Italian history and he had made more than a small fortune in selling the phones.
He had made enough to live without working several times over so it was safe to safe the Ghost fortune had no risk of running out any time soon unless a descendent did something stupid and bet it all on Gambling which he will make sure to drill it into his decedent that never ever go into gambling. If he even hears so much as a whisper about it, he would freeze that person account and if worse comes to worse he would disown them.
No future Ghost is going to ruin the family.
He know for a fact that many people are requesting to have an interview with the creator of the phone and had yet to make a public appearance on such a thing.
Lots of people had brought them for charismas and he too gave his parents their own custom made one while his little brother got the prototype child version of the phone.
Regarding the Revenge, his company had been set up and he had used a small fortune of what he made from the phones to invest in the company, easily enough money to stage a very discreet take over without anyone being the wiser and Ryuu was busy following the man around, videotaping anything that looked even remotely illegal to expose later.
Now he just wanted to sit back and enjoy time with his family.
Suddenly the door bell rang and he made the mistake of answering it.
He opened the door.
Light, Ryuu and Dahi were standing in the door way, each with presents in their hands.
"Hi, Ghost! We came to surprise you. Let's celebrate Christmas together! "Light beamed.
There was a long pregnant silence.
"I told you, we should have checked with Ghost first!" Dahi hissed in Ryuu ear intensifying the awkwardness in the air by one thousand.
"Ghost, let us in and let's party!" Light said.
Oh hell no!
"Nero-chan. Who's at the door?" His mother called out.
He looked at the smiling Light, Ryuu and Dahi.
He shut the door.
"No one mother it was a false alarm" He shouted, walking away from the door, ignoring the shouts for him to come back because it was freezing cold outside.
His father looked at him amused, clearly the man had seen him slam the door in his friend faces and walk away. Nero just counted himself lucky that his mother didn't see that are he would be in a world of pain.
"Sorry about that" His father said, opening the door while he cursed under his breath. "You may come inside and join us for Christmas"
Drat!
Light let out a whoop of happiness as he was the first one to come into the house and take off his coat, scurf and shoes to dry off. Underneath revealed a Christmas themed jumper with a couple of reindeers on it while the boy himself made himself home in his house.
Dahi and Ryuu were much more polite and actual greeted his parents before sitting down.
He would kill the person who thought it was a great idea to come over to his house when nobody was looking.
"Sorry, Ghost they dragged me into this" Ryuu whispered while the other two shot Ryuu a glare for betraying them.
"Dinner will be ready in half an hour" Alfred announced before leaving while Cesso waved them goodbye, with mischief in his eyes.
Nero quickly realised he was alone.
With his friends.
In his house.
They were all staring at him.
Nero was about to say something mean when Sky came to the rescue and said.
"Why don't I give you a tour of the house? I'm sure you haven't seen everything since most of you came here last" Sky asked and Light and Ryuu suddenly looked very grateful for a means to escape from the time bomb that was Nero Ghost.
"AWEeeee" Dahlia cooed, as she saw the adorable toddler in front of her and they mentally slapped themselves for not mentioning Sky earlier to her.
Sky looked very uncomfortable when the girl picked him and started cooing and trying to kiss him.
"Ghost you didn't tell me you had such a cute baby sister. She going to make such a good wife some day" and all sound in the house seemed to have been killed off.
The temperature dropped and Light and Ryuu immediately took a step back.
Dahlia stopped cooing at Sky when she realised everything had frozen around her.
Had she saw something wrong?
The child was currently glaring at her.
"Sky is a boy and always will be!"
Dahlia raised an eyebrow, thinking that the child clear had gender issues, she smiled with a smile that said it all.
She did not believe him.
"Of course Sky, I realise my mistake" before turning to Ghost and glaring at him.
"You and your whole family should be a shame of yourself! Raising a young beautiful girl into a boy have you no shame! You already ha- HOLY SHIT!"
She was cut off as Nero took sky from her arms and de-pants him, showing his tiny winky.
Sky blushed.
Dahlia couldn't help but stare, it was impossible and yet the proof was right in front of her.
Sky Ghost was truly a boy.
"B-but, he l-looks.. H-his face.. HOW!?" Dahlia managed to get out, after having her mind blown.
"Yes ,let it all out. I too would have mistaken him for a girl if I hadn't been told. It's not your fault, he is simply too pretty to a boy right?" Light said going to comfort her only to be shot down by Ryuu who glared and went to comfort his girlfriend instead.
Sky got his pants back up and sent a mock glare at his Nii-san. "Did you have to do that?"
Nero stared blankly and said in a flat tone. "You saw how she didn't believe you and what better way to convince her then showing her the proof besides" smirking evilly. "I got to see your little face flush"
Sky glared before huffing "Not nice" before turning to the other three. "Are we doing a tour or what?" not in the mood for nonsense on Christmas day.
The three quickly nodded and followed the irritated toddler.
"Now onto the first stop, the ball room"
# 20 minutes later#
"What's in that room?" Ryuu asked.
Sky looked at where Ryuu gaze was and said. "Oh that's Nii-san room"
GHOST ROOM!? All three were now staring at the completely black door like they just found the garden of Eden.
Suddenly a shiver ran down their spines.
"Step one foot inside and you will die" Said a cold voice from behind them and all three of them froze and slowly turned around to face Nero Ghost looking very intimidating.
No one was allowed to see the inside of his room unless they were family and it was made clear by the look in his eyes as they locked onto theirs, promising pain.
Never before had they wished Abbey was here to calm the Teenage Titan down.
"Of course not!" Dahi said, sweating a bit.
"Us? Nah" Light said, not meeting his eyes.
Ryuu said nothing since he could not lie to master no matter what and Ghost know that.
"Oh, really..." Ghost said in a dangerously low tone as none of them dared to meet his eyes. " very well come down stairs, dinner ready" He said, with clear dislike that they were here in his tone of voice.
All three of them just followed him silently too scared to dare test Ghost patient while Sky bounced happily beside them, singing about presents and lots of stuff turkey and stuffing that he would have.
Much their amusement.
They were led into the special dining room which they hardly ever use because they usually eat in the kitchen.
The dining room was actually how you would imagine a kings table to look like, it was ridiculously long and wooden.
Why!? All three thought all together, the table did not need to be that long.
Sky sensed the question in the air.
"Tou-san is a big fan of the medieval period" and they all nodded even though they were starting to question what must go through Cesso Ghost mind because there was no way all the seats were filled unless they throw a massive party.
"Sit" Ghost commanded and they quickly obeyed.
Moments later, both Ghost parents arrived and in a very Lord and Lady madam manner with poor Alfred blowing the trumpet to signal their arrival.
" NOW PRESENTING KING AND QUEEN GHOST!" They all know they had to stand while Ghost resisted the urge to roll his eyes as both of his parents came in getting their 'Posh' on.
Crown on top of Cassia head as he wore an expensive looking white cloak and silver and gold robe with a sword to match while Fia had a crown to the most beautiful red dress they ever saw.
Sky was in awe, he wanted to be in a sort of fancy outfit too.
The other three were stunned since they weren't expecting something like this at all.
Fia opened her fan and fluttered in the breeze while she batted her eyelashes and gracefully sat down.
Cesso, his father, dressed like a king, had that arrogant air around him which Ghost thought he nailed perfected and held his mother hand delicately while Alfred pulled up and chair for Cesso to sit in.
They all unconscious held their breath.
"So let's eat" Fia said all too cheerfully as she broke out of character and resume her real personality and inwardly they all cheered when the food came around.
"Please forgive me, Master Ghost. I did not know there we were having guest coming so I did not have time to prepare a proper meal for the late comers" Alfred said and Cesso dismissed his worries while Nero shot all three of his friends death glares.
While the three hade the courtesy to look sheepish.
Alfred passed the food onto the table and the three couldn't help but marvel at the amount of food presented on the table and along with seven forks, spoons and knives, each.
They looked to Ghost with uncertain because they had no idea which one to pick up for which food and he rolled his eyes.
While Sky was just happy with eating some mash and gravy with stuffing and was digging in like no tomorrow.
Cesso and Fia went into chatter about what was going on with them right now.
The other three continued to stare at him.
Nero let out a grunt as he picked a folk and a knife in the middle and at the side where he went for the goose and started cutting a bit of it and put it on to his plate to be devoured.
His friends looked at each other and mimicked what he'd just done and also got some goose as well and as soon as the goose touched their tongues they melted at the heavenly flavour.
He wanted to roll his eyes as they took more goose.
"So Ryuu" His mother said and Ryuu stopped chewing.
"Yes Mrs Ghost" His said, not knowing where this was going.
"I hear from sources that you've recently started to date little Dahlia over her" She said with a slyly smile while the girl blushed.
"Tell me more"
Ryuu choked on the goose in his mouth and started to splutter for an answer much to her and everyone amusement and Dahlia embarrassment.
"Honey, stop teasing the dear boy" Cesso said, sounding extremely amused while Ryuu shot him a look of thanks while Fia looked disappointed that she wouldn't get to hear about the boy love life anytime soon.
"So Light what have you been up to." Cesso said, knowing they haven't had time to really talk to the blonde.
The blonde eyes widened in surprise until he had a look of utter glee and start very enthusiastically going into detail about how he was doing on his manga project and the first draft had been nominated for a overseas competition that he had entered.
While both of his parents watched amused at the blonds antics and found the boy to be funny and a great conversationalist and they would also stop to ask question which Light happily replied.
It was like watching flies communicate with each other, everything was too fast that nobody else could keep up.
Sky waited patiently as Alfred sliced his slice of roasted turkey into little bits for him to eat.
"That sounds amazing!" Fia finally exclaimed while Light puffed up his chest in pride before Fia eyes suddenly took on a slyly look and Nero started dreading what she would say next.
"Our son never tells us anything at home but do you have any stories to tell-
"Mother, I protest to this!" All looked to find THE Nero Ghost with a small blush on his cheeks.
Yes he was blushing.
All three of them stared at him like he had suddenly decided to sprout a tail.
"Calm down son. Me and your mother have every right to know what you get up to in school since you don't tell you anything" Cesso said, looking highly amused.
Nero cursed under his breath, he should have at most give them a quick summary about his day to avoid a situation like this, that they would turn to his own friends who he was shooting fierce death glares to tell them to keep their trap shut.
It would have been imitating if not for the blush on his cheeks.
Cute. All three thought at once with twinkly eyes, who know Nero Ghost could be regarded as cute?
Surely they were hallucinating or dreaming and just to be sure, Dahlia pinched herself.
Nope, she was awake.
She got out her new 'G' phone that she got for Christmas and snapped a photo and a holographic screen came out showing Ghost blushing.
In a second Nero was behind her and grabbed the photo and mumbled what sounded like a code and Dahlia watching in horror seeing her holographic disintegrate.
Nero walked back to his chair with a stratified sharp grin.
"This never leaves this room" He said in a voice that clearly meant his decision was finally and will be in a world of pain if they violate it.
They quickly agreed.
Unknown to all of them both of his parents were watching their interaction with one another with a critically eye.
It seems there was hope for their son when it came to making friends.
"So Dahlia give me all the details on how the female soccer club is doing" Fia said, seriously interested in what was happening to a person who she had takwn under her wing.
Dahlia blinked before she slowly processed that Fia was talking to her.
Her vision began to fade in and out.
"Don't faint or I'll throw you out into the snow to die" Nero hissed harshly.
That seemed to bring her back to full consciousness and Dahlia immediately sprung into what was happening with the female soccer club.
This was how the whole of dinner pretty much went.
# 3 hours later#
"Goodbye" His father waved to them all.
"Bye" Ryuu waved as he went with Dahi and Light went his separate way.
Once all three were out of sight, his mother turned to him and said.
" You have such nice friends!"
He rolled his eyes.
And cut!
This chapter had been bugging me for three days and finally I had enough will power and fresh brain ideas to finish this chapter off. Next chapter Ghost visits one of the facilities that houses a small portion of his growing army.
