2 Years later (so Zeke is 6 at the time)
Well with 2 years worth of training I think it's safe to say that I can now handle myself and also protect Sorano and Yukino.
I'm able to beat Vulcans individually and oc boosted my clones to last longer than 30 seconds.
I feel like all the training I'm doing is going great and Sorano even taking an interest in magic; speaking of my magic it's really been an equalizer for poking fun at Sorano. Whenever she tried to pull a harmless prank such as tripping me or needlessly kick the ball in the other direction of where I'm facing my trusty spells had my back.
I'm currently on my way to visit them because I just realized over the two years I've known them they always visit me and I never did the same, in fact every time I said I'd come over they ( really just Sorano) just said it's rude insert yourself into a girls home, which I guess is true I mean Mom never let's me go to her guild says it's just a rule and she needs to do some paperwork first before I was allowed in. So I decided to surprise the girls because maybe I can end up scaring Sorano and that would make my day better.
I see their house. I stealthily sneak to one of the windows by the door checking to see where's everyone is and….
What the…
Why are their parents yelling at Yukino?
I-I just gotta, why is it so hard to breathe now? Just backup and- fall on my but yeah that works.
Just breathe Zeke. Just breathe.
*Skeeee* Uh oh, please don't be Sorano, please don't be Sorano, please don't be Sorano…. It's Sorano
Sorano and I kinda just stood in place (Technically only she did since I'm sitting but still) staring at each other.
What do I do? I mean I just can't unsee what I saw-
"Follow me" Huh, okay so I got to follow Sorano got it .
Some amount of time later
The walk was silent, and there was this tense feeling in the air.
I hated this, I just want to talk, have some laughs and move on with our lives but this was new to me. I didn't know about Yukino's past I just got to the GMG arc in fairy tail and seeing her past could explain why see became the way she was. So it could be beneficial for me to help stop moving and we take seats on a nearby bench.
"Alright you got any questions?" Sorano says in a very ashamed tone for some reason.
"Just one. Why were your parents yelling at Yukino?"
"My parents...kinda...kinda… kinda see Yukino as a mistake."
"What!?"
"What!? But, that's-" she puts her hand on my mouth and raises her her other hand's index finger to her mouth
"Sssshhh! Now I'm going to take my finger off your mouth and you're gonna let me finish explaining. O. K." I nod.
Sorano takes her finger of my lips and sighs
"Look, I don't know the reason why my parents think like that all I know is that they see her as a disappointment. Yukino is moping and crying, so I got to stick up for her."
"Wait. So the first time we met you-"
"Yes. I thought you were a bully here to pick on her, but then you took time to care for both of us, Yukino woke some days excited to play with you and when she was hanging out with your mom I've never seen her smile so brightly like that. You made that possible Zeke, you really did, more than I could accomplish."
"Did Sorano really see me like that? Like some kind knight in shining armour to come and save the day"
"Look Zeke I would like it if you don't mention it Yukino she might start acting sad again and you're the only person who can help her be happy again-
I threw my arms around Sorano cutting her off, she needed this more than she knows.
"Sorano you are one of the most selfless people I know; you're willing to stick and protect your sister, putting her needs ahead of yours, doing whatever it took to make your sister happy."
This little girl taking a responsibility like that is no easy feat for anyone to accomplish, being able to just let your wants, dreams, and desires go, just for someone else it's inspiring; this is why I will protect them and will all join Fairy tail and be the best wizards ever. I pull back out of the hug so I look her right in the face.
"Sorano. I promised to protect Yukino with all I got"
"Thank you you don't know how much that-"
"But I also promised to protect you. Sorano your one of my friends so that makes you important to me and I will make sure nothing ever happens to either of you."
Soriano is just looking at me with look of speechlessness, probably because no one has gone this far for her and her sister. She then threw her arms around my neck baring her face in my chest, I wrap my arms around her returning her hug.
"Thank you" was what she whispered to me.
Later. Night time
After that moment with Sorano we both broke apart and went to are separate homes. I couldn't keep what Sorano said out of my mind it's just burned into my mind now that such a sweet little girl like Yukino could be seen as a mistake. If anyone is entitled to that it's probably me, I have no right for this second life, it bothers me everyday, but I'm gonna make the most of it and move on, dwelling on the how's or why's is utterly pointless to me. I see this second life as a chance to make something out of myself, since the big picture is right in front of me.
"Jazz when I get so dramatic. I need some sleep and be ready for tuba practice tomorrow" I let my eyes shut as sleep overcame me.
*BOOM, CRASH"
I suddenly wake up with the sound of crackling and the smell of smouldering wood in the air.
"what's happening is the house on fire…. Wait fire the attack it's tonight I got to put my escape plan together "
I quickly rush to Mom's room and find she's not there, I rush downstairs to check outside, the next shocking sight I see is total chaos.
House on fire, blood on the ground, corpses of adults I've come to recognize are motionless and pale.
I can't lose focus look for Mom Sorano and Yukino.
I sprint off to Sorano's and Yukino's house with Raising Tempo to get their faster. By the time I get there I see Sorano getting man handled into a cage kart.
"Hey! Let her Go!" My words were said with venom; there is no way I'm letting these crooks take her away. I feel my magic build up ready to use at my command.
"Johnny you seriously missed one we need all the kids we can get we can't aff-"
I slammed into his stomach, with enhanced speed with Raising Tempo and he lost his hold on Sorano I immediately grabbed her hand and got her a good distance away and turn around some houses cutting past some back yards with burning grass and shattered vases. We come to an ally, I turn to Sorano, get my escape plan in motion, but she's trying to run all over the place or least past me. Until I grab her shoulders and get her to look at my face
"Sorano go to the fort we made, it should be safe for you."
"No! Not without Yukino! She's still inside I have to go back and save her"
Sorano is fighting my grip to hold her back with tears in her eyes
"I'll get her Sorano" she seems to freeze the second I said it
"Wha- No that's stupid-"
"Sorano. Listen I'm the only one of us who has magic and spells to work with, if anyone has a chance at getting her it's me."
I keep a calm and determined face and look at her. She sniffles and breaths out.
" OK, but you better come back with my sister." She shoots me a serious look.
"I will. I told you I would protect the both of you. I planned to keep my word."
I take off back to get Yukino. I will protect them.
