Chapter 7 Things Get Real

Yuu POV

Watching him sit there as he tactfully thought of a way to bring up whatever he thought was a problem is rather amusing. Especially the way that his jaw clicked and his eyebrows twitched as he mulled over his options. I wish that he would just come out and say it so that I could finish my dinner in peace.

But by the way that he was sitting there so lost in thought, I knew that whatever this was about would be a long and annoying production. "Dad are you okay? Whatever you need to say it would be better to just spit it out"

I watched as his eyes seemed to get more focus as he stared down at his burger, he seemed to be taking in a few deep and steady breath to focus his mind before looking up at me.

"I am into a Hiragi, he seemed rather amused by the way that you acted early today. Please tell me that you didn't do something stupid. He might be a weakling and a pitiful excuse for a human being but he is still a higher ranking officer then you."

Oh, thank god! I was worried that this was going to be about that goddamn dream from the other night but this is good with me. Though thinking about it made my blood boil, there must have been a sign on my forehead that said make "my life hell".

I took in a steady breath as my blood cooled and my thoughts seemed to lose their angry edge. "No pops, I didn't hit him and I didn't say much to him, for the most part, we exchange a few insult and dirty looks before he went about his day. I just hate how smug they are but it was fine. You can ask Kimizuki if you like, he was there."

Dad's whole demeanor seemed to change with my answer, he didn't look gloomy and deep in thought like before. Now he seemed edgier and focused on me. "Yeah, how did that go? What did you promise him in exchange for him keeping his mouth shut? It had to be something big right?." I shudder at the thought, I knew that he wouldn't be happy when he found out.

He would say something like don't make promises you can't keep or stop being so impulsive and idiotic, something parent like that would make me angry. So I stuffed my face full of food not saying a word and for some reason, he didn't press me. Even though it's clear that I was purposely ignoring the question.

After dinner, the walk back to the military barracks, seemed stained to me as tense silence enveloped the both of us. The silver moonlight lightly hit both of us as he stalked silently next to me. Each long stride made it seem like he was getting ready to break into a run at a moment's notice.

"So what was it? You better tell me now before I find out from him" He was really going to press this? I was hoping that during the dinner he would have forgotten about it. You would think that he had more important things to worry about since you know he was in control of the entire demon moon company.

This heavy sigh escaped my lips as the truth came out in word vomit, I am just too tired to even bother with the lie. "I promised him that I would get you to let him try out the black demon series it's not that big of a deal though. It was a lie that just seemed to slip out of mouth."

Before I could even finish defending myself I could hear the animalistic growl escape my father lips as his fist came crashing on my head. The bone in his fist popped and cracked as burning tendrils of pain formed in my head "You an idiot! What the hell is wrong with you, he's not ready for that you idiot."

After that, he didn't say much he just picked up his pace like he didn't want to be near me, what was with him today. Usually, I get way more yelling and lecturing then this but I can't say that I mind it.

The Next Day

I couldn't believe it I am finally getting to try to get a contract with a demon. It's about time the sooner that I get a demon gear the faster that I can start making those bloodsuckers pay. The sooner that I could be fighting at my dad side like he told me when I was a kid.

This is going to be so awesome. "Try not to get taken over by the demon. Remember the one that you face before was a low-level demon."

My father's worried voice echoed in my ear as the other took off in front of me leaving just me and him in the dark and deriy hallway. As I looked up, his violet eyes were burning with worry, though I could tell by the stoic expression on his face that he was trying to play it off like he didn't care but I could tell that he was freaking out internally.

I shook my head sadly before bumping my shoulder playful with my dad's, anything to make him feel better about this. He needs to trust that I can handle this and me looking all depressed ain't going to help him. "Don't worry about it old man I have been working for this since I was 10 remember."

Dad laughed softly as he ruffled my hair and whisper low enough so I was the only one that could hear him. "I'm so proud of you for doing this." Before I could say a word he walked away.

Leaving me to stare at two large and monstrous double door that lies before me. Behind them is my future weapons. Here goes nothing, I'm going to kick that demon ass.
