An idea that I got during writing my request fic of Infinite Stratos Truth be Told. This is placed here because it's easier to put it somewhere. You can place this piece in any of my fics. To the other end, At another end, Afraid to Shoot Strangers, Stories Told, the Grad Stud, Two Reasons. It doesn't really matter. Just an idea of me.
It's been a while since I had this idea in the back of my head and it doesn't let me go. So don't expect much of this to work out. It is just due to my other work.
Mattheus shook his head while he was walking back to his room. It had been crazy days since the secrets came out. He was a [Pawn] in a game that reached stakes, higher than anything the Hunter had ever been part of. The best way to deal with that was to just break it down into basics.
That made the world a lot easier to shift through.
They wanted to get to Ichika, they had to go through him first. It had been one late night and after everything that happened, Mattheus wanted nothing more than to lay down on his bed. His big brother gut was ringing off like mad though and it was getting more accurate by the day as he had gotten one more little brother.
So with that, Mattheus quickly went to the room. Why Ichika wasn't sleeping in the room of the boss or his sister was beyond him. Were they inviting the fools in to get him? The Hunter pushed opened the door and found that Ichika was sleeping soundly. That would be no reason for concern were it not that a figure loomed over him.
He was completely like Ichika were it for the sickly traits and older body. Without a word, Mattheus materialized his rifle and quickly gestured to the figure to move asides. Oh, Mattheus knew exactly who he was and what he could do but there were things worse for him than just stand aside.
"Move." Only when he spoke the figure noticed that there was a second person in the room.
A soft smile that did nothing to convince the younger man was now shown.
"Mattheus Adjzof. How nice to finally put a picture on the name." Cycling the bolt, Mattheus slammed it shut while his eyes glared at the man.
"Go fuck yourself, Izanagi. Out. Now." The older man moved asides while he was carrying a sword.
"You do realize that I can obliterate you like an insect." Mattheus squeezed the trigger as he spat on the floor.
"You think? You move your fingers on that sword and I pull the trigger. Make a guess what will work." The patriarch moved around the bed of Ichika.
"Can't a father check on his son?" Mattheus moved around the bed so he stood between Ichika and the boy's father.
"You lost the right to that after everything you did to Ichika." Mattheus bit him as he moved alongside the man. Outside, it was preferred.
"We simply did what the traditions were." Mattheus kept himself in check. Izanagi didn't lie. He could destroy him without even batting an eye. If he were to fight Ichika's father, he would have to do that on his terms.
"Listen here you. I don't want to kill Ichika's pathetic excuse of a father but you are pushing buttons here." Izanagi glared back at him. Mattheus felt the Reiki going harder but the Hunter just let his own energy shield him.
"It seems you have more than I guessed. May I ask why you are so adamant about hating me?" Closing the door to Ichika's room, the Hunter stood between that and Izanagi.
"If you want a list, we'd be here all day. I hate you for so many reasons." Izanagi sighed as he understood that there was no getting through the Hunter.
"And you would kill me because of that?" Losing his temper (and common sense), Mattheus grabbed the man and slammed him into the wall.
"Let me make this fucking clear to you, siscon. I don't give a fuck about your stakes. Get near my brother again while I am around and I swear that I'll do my best to destroy everything of you." Making his handgun, Mattheus pistol-whipped him, causing Izanagi to fall down. The man really underestimated the Hunter.
"Is that what you call yourself? His brother." With a wry smile, Mattheus grabbed the kimono of Izanagi and put the barrel on his head.
"When you are like me and Ichika, you reach a point where you see each other as brothers. A bond that can't be broken. I don't think you would ever understand that." Letting him go, Mattheus dissolved the handgun.
"What you are doing is an asinine thing."
"You didn't come here to kill anyone. So for that, I'll let you go off with a warning. Go back to your wives, their daughters. You want Ichika, you have to go through me. If you are wondering why Ichika calls me his brother."
That surprised Izanagi who looked at the door.
"Why?"
"I don't know. Might be because I was doing your job ever since I got my ass in this school. We all gotta play a part." The Hunter smiled while he thought on the Knight.
"And yours will be to die. I will see to it."
"I'll agree with you on that. If we ever were to meet again, one of us ain't walking away."
With a smile, Izanagi got through a portal while Mattheus flipped him the bird. He would see his boss first thing in the morning but he would sleep first. Looking at the door, he shook his head.
'The things I do for you, Ichika. But you are my brother.'
Been a while since I had this. A small bit in my head that didn't let me go. And if I keep listening to two Sabaton songs, there is more in coming but don't count on it.
For those wondering, it's not a return. Just something I wanted to share. My job is really eating most of my time and energy. And when I do have off, I focus on my request fics. Which I am happy I have because those guys keep me on track.
For those interested, Issei's adventures might see an update soon.
Saluut.
