CHAPTER NINE

"I'm here! I brought karma old man!"

Akihiro's voice rang inside the Hideyoshi household. The house⏤or more like a freaking mansion as the interior has an elegant design.

Karma had been in Akihiro's house before, along with Nagisa. Hanging out with the brunette or having a sleepover. Tho their visit to the mansion was stopped when Akihiro and his father left the country and that's left for the mansion to be abandoned.

"Welcome home, Akihiro and you brought karma with you."

The man watched the brunette nod happily while holding a familiar box of pastries that he always saw whenever his son came back. He almost had a heart attack when he saw Akihiro consume so many sweets.

This teen will surely make him reach his end.

Teenager scares the living shit out of Yoro!

That sound got stuck on my head.

Ahem.

"Hello Yoro-san, I'm hanging out with Aki-chan."

Yoro nodded at the redhead. "Are you going to stay here for a night, karma?" He asked which the latter answered a 'yes. He then dismissed both of the teens and turn on his heel heading back to his private office while karma let the suicidal teen drag him onto their room.

As soon as they stepped inside Akihiro's room, karma instantly found himself lying on the bed while scanning the room. A short silence passed before the redhead opened his mouth to say something, finally realizing some things had changed.

"Your room changed."

Karma then heard the bathroom door open then shuts after, watching Akihiro come out with new fresh clothes and still with some bandages wrapped around him. "Yep! I was getting bored with the design. So games?" Karma grinned at him and immediately grabbed one of the controllers on the brunette's hands as the two of them began playing.

Some time passed, a knock on Akihiro's door was heard which made him and karma stop playing, the mochi box was already opened and only a small about of mochi was left. "What is it?" Akihiro asked as the maid outside immediately answered.

"Yoro-sama wants to talk to you in the office, Akihiro-sama."

...

"What is it want you to want to talk about old man?"

The brunette asked, taking a seat beside his dad's desk. "I heard the Government sent another assassin to kill the creature." Yoro started his voice stayed calm, stopped typing, and closed his laptop. Akihiro look down something clicked on his mind.

"Government really can't wait for us to finally move, Huh?"

Yoro added with a hum, waiting for Akihiro to agree with him but no. His gaze landed on the teen in front of him who looked down which he can't see his son's expression and didn't say anything.

Akihiro tensed, pupils were shaking and felt his throat dry up. He could hear someone is laughing at him, taunting him. It made him feel like he was back at that fucking hell place.

"Akihiro."

"Akihiro, are you still with me?"

"L-like I said I can k-kill him d-dad!"

Yoro flinched at the loud voice, he watched his son raise his head with their eyes were leaking with tears. Akihiro was crying, trembling even, like how he first saw him when he was a child.

Akihiro is having a flashback to what happened years ago.

Yoro didn't waste to stand up on his seat and practically jumped across the desk and crouched in front of his son who still shouting, he was sure that Akihiro's friend hears the commotion.

"I can...I can k-kill him...dad, I can kill him! Pl-plea-se d-don't p-pun-ished m-me!"

"Akihiro, breath...just breathe. No one is gonna hurt you." Yoro patted his back to help him calm down which works with a couple of comforting words yoro had said. He then took the glass of water on his desk and handed it to Akihiro who drank it all up.

"Da...dad...I feel dizzy..."

"Just sleep Akihiro, you need it."

Akihiro's body leaned on the man's body and went limped, Yoro took a sigh when his son was finally in slumber. He then carried the sleeping teen out of the office, only to meet the redhead who narrowed his eyes at him.

"What did you do yoro-san?"
