You know with the usual stuff, drama's at school, homework, projects, and ECT.. So yea well enough of all of my excuses here's the next chapter that you've all been waiting for.

Chapter 2: The Long Awaited Truth

Ayumu began to make dinner for both he and his sister-in-law the so called 'Queen Madoka' as he calls her. He grabbed the pasta and threw the little pieces of dried noodles into the boiling pot of water, as he thought about the current events of the day. He had remembered the new blade children that he had met at school that day, and how the school day seemed a little bit different than normal. Because today they had an extra person that tagged along with them, Kiyoko. From his ingenious deduction skills he had realized that she had really hit it off with Hiyono and liked hanging out with them. But of course it sort of made sense that she didn't hang out with her sister and the other blade children, she was the youngest and seemed like the most immature out of all of them. Though Ayumu noticed that she had her moments were she had let her guard down and looked more mature.

It had scared him at how much that he knew about her, and after the first day. No matter how hard that he tried he couldn't figure out why he was so observant of her. He was even sort of happy that she hung out with them.

With all of the clutter in his head he couldn't concentrate on anything. Not even the poorly made dish of food left on the table for the 'Queen'.

Thinking that he could maybe settle his mind down a bit from the on going thoughts that attacked him , he walked into his room to get at least a little bit of sleep. And since tomorrow was Saturday there was nothing that he needed to worry about doing and could just sleep in. But just like everything else that he tried to do that day, he failed miserably.

After what felt like a couple of hours to him, his mind finally began to settle down. He could feel himself drifting off to sleep when out of no where Hiyono's voice began to echo throughout the apartment.

"Ayumu! Ayumu! Ayumu come on!" she yelled approaching his room.

He drew his blanket over his head hoping that she wouldn't see him and go away. But to no avail, because she knew that he was home. He never got out of the bed until about 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and at the moment it was just to early for him to even be thinking about leaving his bed.

She pulled on his covers in a pathetic attempt to get him out of bed. But all it did was make him give that typical teenage moan that every one gives there parents once in their life when they try to wake their rebel teenager up. "Come on Ayumu, it's important. Eyes sent Kiyoko and Mimiru down here. He says that it's finally time for us to no everything." She brought her voice down as she thought about how Ayumu would take the information. Because obviously his brother was involved, but as she analyzed the situation more, the more she realized that knowing the truth about the blade children would do nothing for Ayumu. Especially since she knew that he would probably end up isolating himself from everyone else for a while to think things over.

But fortunately for her, after she had said that they were there to tell them everything he just bounced up and out of his bed, like a happy child about to get a brand new toy. "We'll be waiting for you in the living room", and with that she shut the door behind her.

Ayumu reached out to the door knob, but as his fingers came into contact with the cold metal, he began to have doubts. He then started to question himself. 'What if I can't help them? What if Kiyotaka was the one really behind all of this? What am I supposed to do?' He couldn't help but begin to doubt every thing that he had came to know in the short time that he knew the blade children. 'No!' his mind yelled as he shook the thoughts out. 'I will find out the truth.' He slowly opened the door, to find the three girls sitting down on the dinning room table.

"So.. He finally shows up." Mimiru grinned, waiting to see what his reaction would be.

"Of course, why would I miss an opportunity to find out why I'm expected to help you people." he grinned back."So let's hear it." he mocked.

"To tell you what we are... we must start from the beginning." as Mimiru spoke everyone anxiously awaited patently for her to continue. "The person who started all of this was a man named Yaiba Mizushiro. He was the person that created a secret company that ended up growing larger than any other company in the world , when he was 23. And because he excelled at everything that he put his mind to he was eventually able to manipulate the entire worlds events. The blade children project was created out of his complete boredom... It had started as a research project for genetically modified beings. But these individuals were different than those that other scientists were trying to make at the time." Mimiru paused and gave her sister a look that said it was her turn to speak.

"Yes...these individuals were made by him seeding his DNA into 80 children. All of these children had 3 distinct characteristics. Like having their seventh rib bone on the right side missing, glowing eyes, and slit shaped pupils. These characteristics were made visible to signify that we were Yaiba's decedents." She looked over at Ayumu and Hiyono to see if they had kept up with her or not. To her amazement they looked as if they had dealt with this sort of thing everyday. She thought that it was a lot of information to swallow but to her it looked as if they had done a lot of research prior to her explanation. They're facial expressions showed that they were unfazed by it all, so she continued on with the conversation. "But Yaiba had a partner that he was working with. And his name was ..Kiyotaka Narumi. They worked on the Blade Children project together for a while ... until that is Kiyotaka found out that Yaiba was using us for world conquest. That's when Kiyotaka killed him, and saved us. But one day he just up and disappeared."

Hiyono looked a bit confused. "So then Kiyotaka was never working as a hunter?"

Mimiru just looked at her, "No... Kiyotaka was Yaiba's counter part. If Yaiba was the destroyer, he was the creator. He couldn't be a hunter because he started off as a saver."

"Saver?" Ayumu questioned.

"Yes...you see Yaiba's company was broken up into 3 different parts. There are the savers, which was the first group. They supported Yaiba and wanted to make more Blade children. Then came the watchers who were neutral and sat back and basically just watched the first batch and gathered the results. And then there were the hunters who hated him and tried to assassinate him." she explained.

Again Hiyono looked a bit confused, "so if he's dead why are they after you guys?"

Ayumu stood up violently knocking over the chair behind him, and slammed his hands on the table top. "It's because you are his decedents right?" He clenched his hands and made a fist trying not to let out his real feelings. All of this was stupid, he tried as best as he could to save them from their horrible fates. But it was as if Kiyotaka was just sitting back and watching them all suffer. He felt helpless. No matter how hard he tried he couldn't do a thing to help them and it angered him. Ayumu then turned around and left the room, while everyone left their heads hanging down as a loss of words. Until Kiyoko got up and rushed out the door after him.

She knew better than anyone how he was feeling right now. Because she too felt helpless. She felt like she was the weakest one of them all because she always needed help with everything.

She ran around the corner to find a small playground with Ayumu sitting on a bench, slowly approached and sat down next to him.

"What is it?" Ayumu snarled, hoping that she would just take the hint and leave him be.

"Ayumu? I... I know what your feeling..." Kiyoko started, until she was cut off by an angry yell.

"You know how I'm feeling?!?!?!" he spat back, "How would you possibly know what I'm feeling?! You grew up different than the others! Protected from everything bad in your life. So don't try and pretend that you know me , because you know nothing about me!" He stood up and tried to walk away. But was stopped by Kiyoko's half sobbing voice.

"You think that my life is better?!? Watching all of my friends and sister go off to face the hunters and coming back to me almost on the brink of death, that's is better?! They protected me from everything bad yes... but that just showed me how much pain that they were in."she walked in front of Ayumu and spoke again as her tears began to flow from her eyes, "I know that you're frustrated, you feel weak and helpless so do I but that doesn't mean that there's nothing that we can do to help them in one way or another."with each word she said she made her way closer to Ayumu, "you've already made their life a lot easier than it was before."

There was then a brief silence between the two. Partially because Kiyoko had hugged him to try and get him to just let it all out, because she knew that guys worry about their pride a lot. And would not be caught dead expressing there emotions, especially not to a girl. She knew because she had seen it happen with her sister and Eyes. They were both strong but once in a while she would catch them crying in each others arms when no one was looking. And it looked as if Ayumu hadn't done that in a while.

The two stood there embracing each other. Kiyoko smiled as he finally let it all out.
