Alright! The first chapter of Father Thy Blood! I'll recap of what happened in the prologue, so in this story, the battle between Lightning is now over and things are back to normal, but somehow, Ryoken sees his father alive for no reason at all and he showed Spectre that his father is here, but Spectre claims that nobody is here and Ryoken tries to touch his father, but his hand went right through and then he realizes that his father is a ghost! OOOOOOWEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Takeru: Would you stop making that noise?!

Me: Oh, right. I forgot that you were afraid of ghosts. Well, at least I won't write a fanfic story about your parents being ghosts and you only see them. Or will I?

Takeru: You're joking, right? Please say you're joking.

Me: Maybe... Anyway, let's start the first chapter of Father Thy Blood!

It's been two days now since Ryoken has discovered his father's ghost. And somehow he is the only one who can see him. Spectre couldn't see him. Aso didn't see him. Dr. Taki didn't see him. Dr. Genome didn't see him. Just Ryoken himself.

Ryoken thought he was imagining things, so he tried to think his father isn't really here as a ghost, but no matter how hard he tries, his father's ghost is still there.

When Ryoken tried to show Spectre that his father is alive, but only turning out that he can't see him, Spectre thought he was a little bit tired after the fight with the Light Ignis, it made him imagine that his father was there. So, he thought Ryoken could have some rest for a bit, which Ryoken tried, but it didn't work.

He is now in his room, laying on his bed, trying to compose his mind on how he is the only one seeing his father's ghost.

"Ryoken." He heard the ghost of his father speak, but he choose to ignore him. It. Whatever he wants to call... that. "You chose to ignore me? Your own father?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.

"You're not real," he said, coldly, "my father is dead. He can't possibly return in this kind of form."

"But I am here," he said calmly, "and it is possible." He then smiles at his son. The same smile Ryoken thought he would never see again. But that doesn't mean Ryoken will believe him.

He looked away from his so-called father and doesn't say anything else. He just wishes he would go away. Ghost or not, it is getting a bit annoying having his deceased so-called father hovering around him. It's also a little bit creepy too.

"If you want to ignore me, that's fine with me," he said, Ryoken is still not looking at his so-called father, "especially since I know that it was you who called the police on me 10 years ago."

Ryoken's eyes widen in shock when he said that. His father knew that Ryoken called the police? He knew that he saved the 6 victims of the Lost Incident? How did he know? Ryoken turned to look at his ghost father. "Y-you're messing with me, right?" He asked, trying to avoid the fear in his voice. "Because there is no possible way that my real father would of figured it out so soon. Not even Dr. Taki, Aso, and Dr. Genome don't know about how I called the police."

"A father knows very well of what their child has done," he said, "even of what happened 10 years ago." He then gives his son a very evil smirk which kind of gives Ryoken the chills.

'I must be having a horrible nightmare,' Ryoken thought to himself, 'there is no way he could of possibly known by chance.' He pulled his cheek to make sure he wasn't dreaming, but it just hurt himself a bit, knowing he wasn't dreaming.

"Pinching yourself isn't going to help you, son," he said, "I will still be here, so there is no chance of getting rid of me or what you done to me."

Ryoken wanted to say that he is sorry for what he did. That he didn't mean to send him away for 3 years and then come back with a virus that made him stay in a coma for 7 years and then having him die for him. He wanted to say that he regretted calling the police and reporting his father for hurting the 6 victims, but somehow he wasn't able to say all of that. It's like something inside him is not making him speak.

"I still can't believe that you would call the police. On your own father," he said in a disappointed tone, "now why would you do something like that? I haven't done anything wrong to you. I've been a good father towards you. Yes, I may have been busy all the time, but still, you didn't have to do that. Or did it have something to do with the Hanoi Project?" Ryoken slightly gulped when his father mentioned the H word. "Either way, I am very disappointed that you would do that. If I were still alive, I would do something to you right now!"

Ryoken fell off his bed when his father raised his voice like that. That completely startled him. He's just losing it. He got up and went out of his room. He need to go outside to clear his mind. Maybe a walk outside would help stay away from his ghostly father.

It didn't. Everywhere Ryoken goes, his father's ghost comes along too.

"Don't even bother trying to escape your own father. I'm always going to be with you, no matter where you go." He told his son, which gives Ryoken chills in his spine.

He knows that he can't tell his ghost father to go away where there are people in public. Some might think he is talking to himself or worse, being crazy. So he tried to ignore him.

"Choose to ignore me again?" He looked at his son with a raised eyebrow, before it was lowered down, "Very well then. I will leave you alone, for now. You are an adult and I respect that." And then he just fades away.

Ryoken should feel relieved by now, but he knows that his ghost father will be back. He doesn't know what to do now or if things get anymore worse than this.

"Ryomi!" Ryoken paused for a moment when a female called out that nickname. A nickname he haven't heard for a really long time.

He turns around and sees a young girl, probably two years younger that he is. She is in high school, but she doesn't go to the same school as Yusaku Fujiki does. She has light purple hair and hazel eyes. She was running towards him, seeing how happy she is. Ryoken then gives out a frustrated sigh, he knows that girl from a long time. "Hello Funakoshi-san..."

The light purple haired girl stopped and looked at Ryoken, with a big smile on her face. "Ryomi, you know it's Kanashi. We used to call each other by our first and last names combined together! Your name, 'Ryoken Kogami' makes it 'Ryomi', and my name, 'Kanata Funakoshi, makes it 'Kanashi.'" She said.

Ryoken remembers that. He was just a kid and he had fun with Kanata when they were kids, that was, when his father started the Lost Incident. After he reported on his father, he never saw Kanata again.

"I'm not a child anymore, Funakoshi-san," he said, "I'm 18 years old now, I don't need to do childish things anymore." And with that, he walks away.

"Wait, Ryomi!" Kanata runs towards Ryoken and she jumps on his back, which almost made him stumble on the ground. "It doesn't matter if you're all grown up and such, you're still Ryomi to me."

Ryoken may have changed for the last 10 years, but Kanata was still her usual self back when they were kids. He wishes he was reverted back to his original self instead of having the current one where he is a Cyber Terrorist in Link VRAINS.

"No. I'm not," he said in a pretty upset voice, "I've changed." Kanata stayed silent for a moment. Ryoken expects her to argue back. They sometimes argue when they were kids until his father or her parents try to break them and have each other apologize.

Soon, after like a few minutes, Kanata said, "Okay." Ryoken's eyes widen in surprise. Okay? No arguing or something like that? That's a first. "I understand, Ryomi. You're 18 years old, meaning you are an adult, and I'm still 16 years old and in high school." She then gets off of Ryoken's back.

She gives a big smile to Ryoken. "Well, I'm glad I got to see you again, Ryomi," she said, "maybe we might run into each other again."

"Yeah. Maybe." Ryoken said.

"I should get home now. It was great seeing you! Bye bye!" She waved goodbye and left in a hurry and Ryoken watches her hurry off.

"Kanata Funakoshi. I remember that girl," his ghost said, as he appeared next to Ryoken, "A very energetic kind of child. Always see things as positive." Ryoken remembers that. He remembered that he used to have a crush on Kanata when he was a kid, but he pushed aside that crush for the last 10 years. "You know, I was originally going to have Kanata to be the 6th and last subject for the Hanoi Project, but since you brought the young boy into our house, I decided that didn't want her and instead, I used him."

Ryoken didn't say anything when his ghost father said that. If he didn't invite Yusaku to his home to check out his deck, would his father take Kanata into his project, still creating the Dark Ignis, having her being tortured for 6 months and still call the police on his father to save her while Yusaku lived a normal life? Still, it doesn't matter, he would still be guilty of doing it even if it was Kanata being the Lost Incident victim and not Yusaku.

Soon, it was getting late, and Ryoken then headed home, with his ghost father still beside him.

Okay! The first chapter is done and I hope you all enjoyed it! The next chapter will probably be in Yusaku's POV. Probably. Anyway, feel free to comment on what you guys think about this chapter and I'll see you guys later!
