Chapter 11 How Do I say This?

Guren POV

I watched his bright green eyes lit up with worry at my words, all I could do was gape at him as my stare began to narrow. How could I possibly tell him that the organization had been experimenting on him? That the orphanage that he lived in used him like a lab rat.

I stared blankly at my hands as guilt consumed how could I let that happen to him, sure I am under strict orders not to say a word to him. But he is my kid I love him as my own, how could I not tell him the truth?

I sighed heavily as I looked up to see Yuu fidgeting in place as he looked worriedly at me. His deep green eyes turned a bright jade as he stared at me. Which each passing moment I could see that his breathing is beginning to quicken.

"I….I have something that I need to tell you, Yuu but I need you to keep an open mind and wait till I finish before you start asking your questions. Okay?" I spoke in a soft but tentative voice as Yuu seemed to be calmed down by the sound of my voice.

He nodded his head tentatively as he looked around the room for a moment before settling into this tired calmness. I wish that I could say the same but with each passing moment, I felt my muscle clamp up and tense. "You were a product of human experimentation that was why you blacked out on the field.

As a child when you were in that orphanage they were testing and testing your genes. The vampires were doing the same thing the only difference is that once you escaped. I at the time knew but I thought that it would be better not to tell you. You just lost everything I didn't think that I should add on top of it."

I don't know if I was trying to convince him or myself, this guilt had been eating me alive all these years. I thought that it would lessen once the truth came out but it seemed to be getting worse. I am finally letting the truth be known but not before my little Yuu nearly died on the battlefield.

I shook my head hurriedly as I tried to shake the haunting though out of my head as images of him passed out and at the mercy of the enemy filtered into my mind. Blood filling my nose as he laid on the ground dying. Images like that had been haunting my sleep a lot lately. I know that he is not blood, but he is my kid and I would protect him with every fiber of my being.

"Anway after that the milarity thought that they could nurture your gifts and use that to their benefits. I wanted to tell you for a long time but I was ordered not to by the head of the army. I'm sorry"

My voice seemed so hollow nothing like how I used to sound, I'm sure that my mind was bracing itself for the onslaught of anger and insults that would be slung my way. But as I looked up all I could see was a loving light shining from Your eyes as his head cocked to the side.

Looking like a confused puppy that didn't understand why he is getting scolded. But as Yuu struggle to get out of bed he stood up pulling me into a hug. Forcing the chair to titer as his weight crashed onto me. His warmth melding with mine and he pulled away.

His bright green eyes looked luminous with love as he grinned like a madman, "Dad you had orders I get that and it's not like you were the one that did this to me. You were the one who saved me and cared for me. Nothing could make me be mad at you or hate you."

I let out a clipped laugh as I turned to watch Yuu collapse in the bed like that one hug took all the energy out of him. I shook my head before slowly rising from my chairs. The bones in my knees caps cracked as I gently leaned over Yuu. Placing a gentle kiss on his forehead before staring intently at him.

I knew that my eyes were searching his entire face, as I got ready to tell him the next piece of bad news for the day. I think that even Yuu in his haze exhaustion is able to see the change in my mood.

"Yeah okay get some rest….there is just one more thing you have to be at headquarters tomorrow morning the Hirgi want to talk to you."

Before I could hear an aggravated growl or a high pitched whine the door flung open revealing an upset Sayuri. Her brown hair falling against her face as this relaxed aura took over her. I guess seeing Yuu okay was enough for her, but this motherly rage took over her as she punched me hard in the arm. "How dare you let them do this to him?" Great.
