Chapter 29: Dad?

Sin's POV

"We've been on the road for three days." I sighed as I kicked a rock in my path.

"Yeah?" Kuro didn't turn around to face me.

"In the whole forest, of god-knows-where." I replied indifferently.

"So?" Was all Kuro said.

'She is kindly pointing out that we are completely lost because of you.'Gami said flatly.

"You don't have to be so outright!" Kuro pouted.

It was true. We were lost out in the wilderness. For three days. Officially lost. I heaved a sigh as I ignored the former two's argument. 'I at least can practice my jutsu's...'I was getting better. I had the basics down pretty quickly. I almost completed the fire and water jutsu's, and am half way with the wind. Three days of getting lost is like a miracle when learning things. You're far more relaxed on the long run... but on the contrary we are still lost and that doesn't change anything... "Kuro are you sure that you don't need any help?"

"Nah, I'm fine." He waved it off casually.

'I suggest you take the help.'Gami padded onwards. He seemed to mature real quickly... or maybe it's because Kuro is an idiot.

He stumbled and hit the ground face first. 'Yup, an idiot.'A branch hit his head a while later. I turned to Gami. "Should we set up camp here."

'I highly recommend it.' Gami looked up at the sky. 'It's getting quite dark.'

"You're right." I sighed as I started leaving. "I'll go find some firewood."

And so I went on my journey in finding firewood... I'm joking! It wasn't a journey, just a few minute walk from the campsite and I scored the jackpot. I came back only to be confronted with a man sitting near Kuro. Gami had his hackles raised when looking at the man. I dropped the firewood in the center pit. "May I ask who our visitor is?"

'He appeared out of nowhere.' Gami growled. 'Claiming that Kuro is his son.'

I looked closer at the man. He had a handsome face, his hair was a shade of purple and looked softer to the touch. His clothes are the ones that set alarms off. Why? He was wearing a suit. A formal one, and it looked expensive. He turned his head to me and smiled. "You must be Sinitria."

"How do you know my name?" I asked suspiciously, narrowing my eyes.

The man held up his hands. "It's alright! I'm no stalker, even if my job is information handling... it's not helping is it?"

I shook my head wryly. You could see a resemblance between Kuro and the mystery man. Both having pale blue eyes, and their attitudes seemed alike... only a tiny bit similar.

"Okay, mister." I said as I sat down. "You can stay here until Kuro gets up. If he doesn't recognize you, leave. Got it?"

"Alright." He replied.

I busied myself lighting up the fire, when Kuro stirred. "About time you woke up. There's a man who claims to be your dad. Would you mind identifying him?"

He sat up and looked — more like stared — at the man. His expression changed every five minutes.

First minute: staring blankly.

Second minute: confused.

Third minute: a faint recognition and surprise.

Fourth minute: narrowing his eyes in concentration.

Fifth minute: sighing and massaged his temples.

And finally the sixth minute: returning to staring back at the man blankly.

"Kuro that's not nice." The man clicked his tongue. "You don't even remember your dad?"

Kuro blinked once.

Twice.

Thrice. "Dad?"

"Yep the one and only." The man grinned, revealing a bright white smile.

"How'd you get here? Of all places?" Kuro asked disbelievingly.

"I have my ways," The man waggled his index finger. "Besides I think your mother probably said to you that I have my own universe... did she not?"

Kuro thought for a moment, before it hit him. "Oh yeah... I vaguely remember it, but I dismissed it quite a while ago..."

"Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait!" I held up my hands then narrowing my eyes I turned to face Kuro, while pointing at the stranger. "You know him?"

Kuro stared blankly, before laughing. "Of course I do, silly! He's my dad!"

"You're dad?" I turned to the man.

He smiled. "I guess I should introduce myself then."

"Please do." I stared at him through narrowed eyes, I crossed my arms across my chest.

"Well then... how should I start?" He hummed before going on with his introduction. "The name is Shinigami Seki, Kuro's father and beloved husband of Mai, my wife, and that is all."
