Chapter 6 The Meeting Is A Dud

Guren POV

It is still a shocking thought when you really think about it, I thought that there was going to be a lot more arguing with Yuu. I guess in a way that I was kind of hoping that he would argue more, any reason to avoid this dumbass meeting. If there was one thing that I hated it was being locked up with a bunch of stuck up snobs that have never fought a day in their lives.

They are always there looking down on me, insulting me which I don't mind but don't in the same breath insult me and then order me to be locked in a room with you, hours on end. That's counter-intuitive isn't it? "Hey if it ain't the little branch rat." I looked up from my thoughts at the sound of the most arrogant and pompous voice ever.

Which is ironic as he claimed superiority and the fact that he his the main family member that is stronger and better in every way. But he happens to be one of the weakest people in the army. If it wasn't for his family's name I doubt that he would even have the high ranking. He probably would have been some pawn shoved off as cannon fought for the vamps.

"It's funny I just ran into your little brat, he didn't seem too happy to see me either. He said rather rude things." The growl that escaped my lip is nothing compare to the anger in my veins, it was one thing if they went after me but it is a whole other thing if they thought that they could mess with Yuu and get away with it.

Before I even knew it, I had spun on my heels with a sharp pivot, I was staring at the little weasel in a matter of seconds. I didn't know if he was serious or just pushing my buttons but the way that this little weasel nose scrunched up in disgust as he spoke told me that he is telling the truth. Damn them.

"Yeah he was all your below me and he got this look in his eyes, the same look that you got in yours. Like you are about do something stupid like killing the main family member." I scoffed angrily as I looked the mohawk fool up and down. He is nothing more than a bean pole with hair. Did he really think that he was all that?

Seishirō's beady little eyes followed my every movement, gagged my every reaction, he was waiting for me to hit him but if he thought that I would throw my career away like that. Then he is dumber than he looked and he looks pretty dumb. I huffed out some air that I had been holding in chest before stalking slightly down the darkening corridor.

This is the last thing that I needed I swear that there was someone up there looking down on me thinking. How can I run Guren's day? I sighed heavily causing my shoulder to drop as my whole body seemed to default.

The large shiny double doors seem bigger than I last remembered them, the shiny black luster illuminated the giant doors. They seemed big enough for a giant or demon to walk through. Were the doors always this big? It couldn't have been that long since the last time that I had been here. Right?

I shrugged my shoulder at my own mental question before stuttering into the room with my head held head in reverence. But as the doors slammed shut and this tension filled the air, it felt like the door was saying. That they would never open ever again, that I would be stuck with these fools forever and if that happened. Well, then I can assure you that the numbers would quickly decline. God behind stuck in a room full of stuck up assholes, that's even worse than hell for me, of course, my best bud Shinya definitely makes it better.

His sparkling blue eyes were lit up with amusement as I collapsed into my chair, his silver hair covering his eyes ever so slightly as he shifted to look at his father who was sitting at the head of the table.

The man likes to act all imposing but I could kick his ass with both hands tied behind my back. I mean really if they are so great then why is his daughter enslaved in my sword begging to unleashed death and destruction.

Huh, I don't think so, they need to check themselves before they wreck themselves. Well, I could always take a nap that was an option. I wonder how mad they would get. Or if they would ever notice, as I leaned further into my chair, the lull of boring projections about cursed gear and sentry rotation put me right to sleep.

6 Years Ago

"Yuu where the hell did you go?" Dammit, that kid has only been in my care for a couple months please don't tell me that I lost him. The sound of giggling ripped me right out of my throat, as the sweet sound of Sayuri's voice ran through me. "Now who are you?" The sound was drifting from down the hallway.

"My name is Yūichirō but my friends call me Yuu." His soft voice seemed to downtrodden compared to Sayuri's joyful tone, they had met once before but in Yuu was in shock and full of grief. He didn't notice anyone but me at the time.

"I think that I will call you Yu-yu for short Yuichiro seems way too much of a big kid name for you." "Shut up don't call me that." Well, at least her calling him that, put him in better spirits.

The kid's voice was always so soft nearly a whisper. Like he was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and hit him. But I guess when you first guardian tries to kill you and your next was secretly experimenting on you.

Then your not going to have that much faith in the remaining adult population. I round the corner Sayuri was trying to lift Yuu into her arms but the little ten years old was dodging quite well. He maneuvered his way out of her long creamy, and delicate arms.

Moving just out of her reach each time that he got close to catching him. This almost seemed like a game that the both of them worked out. "Calm on Yu-yu just let me hold you for a few minutes."

Yu growled at her, actually growl at her and it forced me to laugh this was the first time that he shows any emotion but sadness. He had been rather complacent like a doll, the only time he seemed lively was during training.

"Guren what are you laughing about." I looked up at a startled Sayuri. Giving Yu enough room to run over to me with his arms stretched out. I laughed lightheartedly at his anger before lifting him into my arms.

After the first coupe for weeks he had been staying with me I noticed that the only thing that really seemed to calm him down and make him feel safe was whenever he is near me. Which made my work difficult but I didn't mind it, he is a good boy. "What's wrong with her? She won't leave me alone papa."

I smile at him, he had begun to do that to which didn't bother me any, in a few months the adoption process will have been put through all the proper channels and it would be official. "This is Sayuri, she is one of my squad mates and a long time friend, so be nicer to her."

He huffed out some air as he snuggled his face into the crook of my neck. His soft jet black hair tickles my neck forcing a laugh to escape my lips. "Sorry about him Sayuri, I'll see you and squad tomorrow. Yuu are you still hungry?"

I watched as he lifted his head up as he rubbed his eyes sleepy, which made sense he didn't get nearly enough sleep for a 10-year-old. But he nodded his head yes slowly before lowering his head back onto my shoulder. "Alright we can get something to eat then off to bed with you, looks like it will be an early night."

"Hey, Guren get up! Hey, do you hear me, stop sawing logs" I groaned as some dick jabbed their elbows sharply into my ribs. As I opened my eyes I looked at Shinya who was giving me a sly smirk as I stood up and stretched my back out. My whole body seemed to tense up while I was sleeping with makes sense. They are all my enemies. "Is this boring ass meeting over yet."

All the Hiragis in the rooms seemed to stiffen as there muscles twitch with a dangerous energy, whatever I out of here. I want to make sure that Yuu ate something other than junk food. I started to walk out when that ass at the head table said something. I don't really know what but it's not like I gave it shit. "I'm just a lowly Ichinose you don't need me here."

I hear some of them scoff but I keep walking as images of my dream shifted into my vision, could that have been brought on by the those assholes in the room or was it something else entirely. There must be some better way for me to spend my time. "DAD….When are you going to let me try out for the demon series."

I felt this rush of wind come across my face as I easily causing one of Yuu's flying roundhouse kicks. He had this shocked look on his face as I kicked him in square in the chest sending him flying.

Though showing him that he is no matched for a demon series weapon would never get him off my back."Fine the next time that there is an opportunity you can try to calm weapons for your own. Now, what are you doing out here aren't you supposed to be studying?"

He scoffed angrily before standing up. His whole face turning bright red form rage "I got done an hour ago an I got tired of waiting for you to come home it's like 10 at night you couldn't have gotten down earlier."

Has it really been that long, damn that must have been one hell of a nap? I Got in there it wasn't any later than 6. Oh well, that means it took them about 4 hours to notice that I was sleeping.

What a bunch of idiots, "Hello earth to dad." I smirked as I placed a gentle hand on top of Yuu's head ruffling his black hair as his green eyes stared up at me in confusion. "Have you eaten dinner yet." I watched him shake his head no. "Yuu what the hell it's 10 you should have eaten a while ago."

I growled angrily at him, but the kid didn't seem phased, if I had been home he would have eaten and in bed by now and he knew that. At the very least I would have had him still study by now. His test a grade are shit and as his teacher and father, I should have lectured him on it. But he won't really need any of that once he officially gets assigned to a squad. "How about we get some food, go out this time instead of getting stuck at the mess hall."

I wave Yuu jump with exciment as his green eyes seemed to light up like a light bulb in the middle of the night. Though I have more than one reason for taking him out to dinner. I need to know what the hell happened with the Hiragi right before the meeting. Also, that dream he had, I wonder if it had anything to so with the experiment that they have been putting him through. The bunch of assholes.

I slowed exited the military compound simply walking in silence as Yuu hummed next to me for a few moments. But the soft hum of his son seemed to die at his lips as the silent darkness creeps around us."How was the meeting, you seem quieter than something bad happen?"

I looked up from my thoughts to hear our cornered as worried Yuu is. The kid didn't do concern and he never worried about a thing. "I'm fine, just lost thought in thought sorry for worrying you."

He laughed loudly as his arm folded firmly over his chest like he didn't give a damn about me. But I could see through the act that he is putting on. "Like I would worry about you." I laughed before picking up my pace a jog could do me good. "Come on kid keep up." "Hey wait up"
