Chapter 038
Life Changing Decisions
At the same time Itsuki,Dai,Kenji,Hana, Akita and Tadashi are all sat down eating dinner in silence and Akita looks around the table and says
"Are...All of you ok?" Dai looks up at her and says
"No!" Dai looks back down and Akita says
"Physically I mean" Itsuki looks at Akita and says
"We'll be fine, our bodies will heal" Akita says
"Listen I know what all of you have seen was terrible and I know some of you-" Suddenly the back door opens and everyone looks as Kingsman walks through the door but as Kingsman steps forward the door to the basement unseals and Kingsman opens the basement door but Itsuki stands up and says
"Sensei, I'm-" But as Kingsman looks at him, Itsuki is *scared* as he sees the *anger* in Kingsman's eyes and falls back down into his chair and Kingsman walks into the basement door slamming it behind him and everyone is *shocked* but everything starts slightly shaking with rhythmic pattern and Hana looks at Akita and says
"Is daddy ok?" Akita looks at Hana and *smiles* as she says
"Yes, he's just...Stressed" Hana says
"Oh, can we do anything to help daddy?" Akita says
"Umm...After he comes back well find a way to help him" Hana *smiles* and says
"I'll make him something really special" Hana looks at Kenji and says
"Big brother, can we go play?" But Kenji doesn't look at Hana and he continues eating and Hana says
"Big brother!" Kenji looks at Hana and says
"Huh? Yes...Come on" Kenji stands up and he picks up Hana and they walk upstairs as Tadashi follows behind them and Dai looks at Akita and says
"Can I go to my room?" Akita says
"But you haven't even finished your food" Dai says
"I'm...Not hungry" Akita *sighs* and says
"Yes you can go, you too Itsuki" Dai stands up and walks upstairs and Akita stands up and picks up everyone's plates and dumps them in the trash and she starts washing the dishes but as she's done and turns around, she sees Itsuki still sitting at the table and he says
“Akita, can I ask you something?” Akita says
“Yes, of course” Itsuki says
“I want to apologize to Sensei for not being fast enough to save Riku, but I feel like It would upset him more. I know he said that we didn't fail him, but I know he's mad at me. Sensei's never looked at me like that before, so I know how he truly feels. And I just want to know, what should I do?” Akita is *shocked* and says
“No! It wasn’t your fault at all Itsuki, you have to accept that. After you accept yourself, you need to love yourself, and keep moving forward. If you continues thinking that way you'll never truly heal from it, If you want to fly you have to give up what weighs you down. Riku’s death was no one’s fault, all of you tried your best and that’s all he would have wanted” Itsuki starts *crying* and Akita walks over and hugs him as she says
“I promise no one blames you for what happened to Riku” Itsuki through his tears says
“Thank you…Mom!” Akita is *shocked* and thinks
“Did he call me-” Akita *smiles* and hugs Itsuki tighter and says
“You don’t have to be like Kingsman, you can cry. You can show your emotions, it’s ok. I promise no one will judge you” Akita lets go of Itsuki and wipes his eyes as he says
"Thank you" Itsuki stands up and walks towards the stairs but he stops and turns around and says
“Why are you so nice?” Akita is *confused* and looks at him and says
“Huh?” Itsuki says
“Why are you always so nice to us?” Akita says
“Because I care about all of you, like you’re my children. No! You are my children and I love you! With all of my heart” A tear falls from Itsuki eye but he says
“Are you ok?” Akita says
“What do you mean?” Itsuki says
“You’re always checking on everyone and making sure everyone else is ok. But Sensei said the ones who are always smiling are hiding the worst pain. And I know with everyone grieving no one's taken the time to check on you” Akita says
“I am sad that I won’t get to see Riku anymore, but I'm also glad everyone else is ok. If there’s one thing that Kingsman taught me, is that the leader of the team must remain calm no matter how much he’s falling apart on the inside. So some times I do put on a smile to keep everyone's moods high” Itsuki says
“Is that why Sensei always says he’s fine even when he’s hurt?” Akita says
“Not exactly, but he does say he needs to be a pillar of strength for all of you to look at as someone you can turn too and he’ll always be there for you. He wants to always be someone any of you can talk to about anything, even when he's not ok” Itsuki says
“I understand...Thank you for listening to me Akita” Akita says
“Don’t worry about it, any time you want to talk just let me know” Itsuki walks upstairs as Akita sits back down in her chair and she looks at the area where the basement door sealed and she *sighs* and thinks
“I’ll wait for you, but please don’t fall so far I can’t help you anymore. But no matter what I'll never stop trying to help you, because I know you would never stop trying to helping me” Akita stands up and walks over to the area where the basement door sealed and she puts her head on the area and thinks
"Please...Just come back to me soon" Akita turns and walks upstairs and as she gets upstairs she looks into Hana's room and sees Hana playing with her dolls while Kenji sits silently in her bed with his head in his hands and Akita thinks
"I wish all of you didn't have to experience it, and I wish I could talk you through it. But Kingsman understands loss far more than me, and he can truly understand your pain and how you feel on a deeper level than me. I'm sorry I can't do more" Akita turns around and walks into her bedroom.
Later that night Kingsman comes out of the basement and closes the door behind him resealing it and Kingsman opens the fridge and grabs some sake and Kingsman sits down at the table and Kingsman looks at the sake and *sighs* as he says
“This is the man I am now, this is the only constant that I can protect” Kingsman chugs his sake.
The next morning Akita wakes up and realizes Kingsman isn't in there room and she *sighs* as she stands up and she walks out of her room but she notices the house is silent and she goes downstairs and she is *shocked* as she sees Kingsman sleeping with his head on the table with a empty bottle of sake in his hand but he’s also surrounded by multiple empty bottles of sake and she walks up to him and shakes him awake but as he wakes up he drops the empty bottle of sake and he stands up and Akita says
“Kingsman, what are you doing?” But Kingsman doesn't speak as he looks down at the shattered bottle of sake and Akita looks down at the shattered sake bottle *confused* but as she looks up back at Kingsman, the door to the basement unseals and Akita notices it as Kingsman turns around and tries to walk towards the door but she grabs Kingsman’s arm stopping him and she says
“You can’t live like this!” Kingsman looks at her but as they lock eyes Akita can see the pain in his eyes and he says
“I’m fine...I just want to train” Akita says
“No you're not! I know you miss Riku” As Kingsman looking at her she starts tearing up but Kingsman turns his head away from her and Kingsman tries to walk away again but Akita holds onto his arm even tighter as Kingsman keeps walking towards the basement door dragging her as well and she says
“I know you blame yourself for not protecting him, and I know you wish it was you instead of him! But it wasn’t and we need you! Your family needs you, your village needs you…I need you!” Kingsman stops right before he opens the basement door and he turns around and looks at her and Kingsman can see she’s holding back tears and he gently puts his hand on her face and the door to the basement reseals and he says
“Ok…I’ll try, but I just need sometime” Akita says
“If you let me inside your head I’ll do all I can to help you, I hope you truly know that. That is all I want from you” Akita turns around and walks towards the stairs but Kingsman says
“Without you here…My mind would shatter” Akita starts to tear up as she hears this and she turns around and runs over to Kingsman and hugs him and says
“I’m not going anywhere!” Kingsman says
“I don’t want you to get hurt because of me, like everyone else. I’m starting to truly understand the danger I bring to those around me, I thought I never had to worry about it because I would be able to protect you all. But I can’t…Not anymore, now I'm the one who's killing all of you. The closer I allow all of you to me, the more I hurt all of you” Akita says
“Kingsman, you've given your heart, mind and soul to protect all of us. One mistakes doesn't mean you have to throw everything else away" Kingsman says
"And I've given all of that, but it still wasn't enough to protect one boy. So why protect more if I have failed with just one, a man who cannot protect his responsibility's does not deserve more to protect. He deserves nothing" Akita says
"But a man who is willing to put everything on the line for his responsibility's deserves recognition for his actions. When we first met we both risked our lives to protect each other, and that wasn’t just a mistake. When I told you I loved you I meant it, that means I have to take the good with the bad. I knew the danger that came with marrying the world's most dangerous man and If I have to put my life on the line to protect you I will” Kingsman gets *angry* and says
“Over my dead body! If anybody lays a finger on you I’ll—” But Akita kisses him and says
“Nobody has, don’t work yourself up. But if you think I’ll let you kill yourself for me...I can’t” Kingsman says
“If there’s a choice to be made between me and you, it will be me. The kids need you more, I’m teaching them how to survive and conquer this world. But you’ll teach them to shape the world around them into the world they want it to be, your influence isn’t something that comes by often in this life” Akita is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman!” Kingsman says
“Everyone who thought like you were killed by people like me, I want that cycle to end. If there are no more people like me than more people like you can help heal the world we’ve tainted” Akita with *tears in her eyes* says
“I don’t want to talk about this, we’ve talked enough about death today” Akita tries to turn and walk away but Kingsman grabs her wrist and Kingsman says
“These are the difficult conversations we must have so we’re prepared for those times, we should have had this conversation before Riku died. But I wasn't ready, and now there's no more time left for me to hide behind my fears” Akita wipes her tears and says
“Fine, what if I die and you live?” Kingsman *chuckles* and says
“I’m not as strong as you are sadly…You are the only thing that keeps my mind calm. Without you I can not function properly, I might revert back to old habits….Destructive habits” Akita gets *angry* and pushes Kingsman and *through her tears* says
“No! You keep pushing me to be stronger, but then you turn around and say you can't do the same! I sacrificed my entire life to follow you. To be with you! I can’t sleep if I don’t know you're close to me, I can’t breathe when you leave the room for a simple task, and when you go on missions I have to lay next to a pile of your clothes just to close my eyes! You can’t tell me to be strong and turn around and tell me you can’t!” Kingsman *chuckles* and Akita is *confused* and says
“What?” Kingsman *smiles* and says
“Which shirts? My red ones, no the black ones, the blue ones, or the purple one” Akita *whips her tears* and says
“Kingsman, I’m being serious!” Kingsman stops *smiling* and wipes Akita's eyes as he says
“Fine, let’s both make a promise to each other. No matter what happens we will always be strong for the ones we love, deal?” Akita says
“I…I can’t, you're the only person who I've ever loved. The only person I’ve ever trusted, the person I would die for” Kingsman says
“Akita!” Akita drops to the floor and *breaks down in tears* and says
“I can’t! I'm sorry, I can't do it!” But Kingsman pulls her up into his arms and says
“You know you have my heart, the only person on my mind. But this is bigger than us now, I’m not asking you to find someone to replace me. I’m asking you to be strong for the kids, I will fall apart without you here. But I will make that sacrifice for all of your safety, If that means I have to die for you all to live, I’ll do that! If that means I’ll have to be enslaved, I’ll do that! If that means I have to give up on my passion,dreams, and aspirations, I’ll do that! There is nothing I won’t sacrifice for all of you…Especially you” Akita slowly looks up into Kingsman’s eyes and Kingsman says

“Say the word and I’ll give up everything for you” Akita hugs Kingsman tightly and says
“I promise I’ll be strong for the kids…I’ll be strong for you!” Kingsman kisses her on her head and says
“I know you will” Akita lets go of Kingsman and they both *smile at each other* and Akita says
“But, please don’t destroy yourself anymore. I know it'll be difficult, but please lighten up on the sake. Your drinking even more than usual, I understand but please” Kingsman puts his hand on Akita's face and he kisses her and says
“Ok…Right after this nap” Kingsman falls back and passes out right on the floor and Akita sits at the table and *smiles* and thinks
“What am I going to do with you?” Kenji,Dai and Itsuki come downstairs and everyone sees Kingsman on the floor and Itsuki says
“I see Sensei’s been busy” Akita turns around and *smiles* and says
“Can you guys wake him up? I have somethings I need to talk to him about, but he's been like this all night” Dai and Itsuki are *shocked* but Kenji walks up to the back door and opens it as he freezes the floor leading up to the door and into the grass and Kenji grabs his arm and pulls him forward making Kingsman slide outside in the middle of the grass and Kenji looks at Dai and Itsuki and says
"Come on!" Dai and Itsuki are *confused* but they follow Kenji outside and Kenji grabs the door as he looks back into the house at Akita and says
"The ice will melt in a few minutes, I would do it faster but I need to focus" Kenji closes the door and Akita *laughs* and says
"You truly are your fathers son" As Kenji walks towards Kingsman, Itsuki says
“What are you doing?” Kenji says
“Getting some revenge, as a matter of fact Itsuki let me borrow some of your lightning” Itsuki says
“Sure...I guess” Itsuki covers his hand in lightning and puts it out towards Kenji and Kenji says
"What am I suppose to do with that! Give it to dad" Itsuki says
"But Sensei's going through-" Kenji says
"It's fine, just give him some of it to the face" Itsuki puts his hands into the air as lightning slams down towards Kingsman's face but Kingsman moves his head to the side dodging the lightning and Itsuki is *shocked* and Kenji says
"Wow, it looks like your lightnings to slow. Try cutting off the points that he can move to dodge the lightning" Itsuki calls down multiple lightning strikes but Kingsman dodges all of them and Kenji *sighs* and says
“I’ll handle it” Kenji covers his hand with his water and he puts his hand into the air creating a giant ball of water and the giant ball of water floats over Kingsman and Kenji *smiles* and says
"I think it's time to wash you off, we can't have you stinking up the house" Kenji points his hand down and the ball of water falls down towards Kingsman but Kingsman puts his hand up with his darkness covering it but as his hand fully extends his sword shoots out of his hand and it spins in the air and as the ball of water comes down it's being cut keeping all of the water off of Kingsman and Kenji is *shocked* and Kenji uses the water on the ground and covers the ground in ice and he creates two giant hands on both sides of Kingsman and they try and grabs Kingsman but Kingsman while laying flatting on his back flexes his back launching himself directly in the air as he's going into the air, he grabs his sword as he continues going higher into the air.
As Kingsman starts falling towards the ground he throws his sword on the ground and as it’s sticking out of the ground he lands on the handle with one finger and he’s able to hold himself up in the air while still asleep and Kenji and Itsuki are *shocked* but Dai *slowly starts to smile* as he says
“You two are pathetic, you both really don't get it by now. The only person who can match Sensei is me!" Dai runs up and tries to punch Kingsman but Kingsman dodges two of his punches but then he flips from off of his sword landing behind Dai and Dai turns around and swings towards Kingsman but Kingsman catches his wrist and Kingsman snaps and catches his sword as it flies to his hand and he hits Dai on the top of the head with the blunt end knocking him down onto his back but Kingsman falls backwards landing on top of Dai with his back on Dai’s chest and Dai tries to push him off of him but he can’t and Dai says
“Get off of me!” Kenji and Itsuki start *laughing* and as there still *laughing* Itsuki says
"Is this you matching him!" Kenji says
"Wow, your really got him on the ropes now" Dai opens his mouth but Kingsman reaches back and slams his hand on Dai’s face and Dai gets *angry* and he reaches around and tries to punch Kingsman in his chest but Kingsman dodges it causing Dai to hit himself in the stomach and Kingsman gets up and grabs his sword and he stab towards Dai and Dai is *shocked* but Itsuki kicks his hand at the last second making the sword stab into the ground next to Dai’s head and Dai tries to kick Kingsman in the stomach but Kingsman dodges it and grabs his leg and throws him into the air but Dai’s fire starts surging across him again and he creates his wings once again and flies towards Kingsman and he punches Kingsman across the face making Kingsman slide back and Dai starts flying all around Kingsman landing more and more punches across Kingsman and Dai charges his fire gauntlet and he flies up to Kingsman and tries to punch him in the face but Kingsman dodges the punch and as Dai flies past Kingsman, Kingsman grabs his ankle and Kingsman slams him down into the ground and Kingsman stomps on Dai’s stomach knocking all the wind out of him and Kingsman flips Dai out of the ground with his foot and kicks Dai in the stomach launching him through multiple trees and Dai lands hard on the ground and slowly gets back to his feet and he’s trying to catch his breath and Itsuki is *shocked* and thinks
"Is Sensei having a nightmare? Or is his darkness taking over him? He's never been this ruthless before" But Dai gets *extremely mad* and his fire starts flowing all around him and he punches the ground and Dai gets to his feet and he starts walking back towards Kingsman but as Kingsman pulls his sword out of the ground, Dai stops and calms his breathing and closes his eyes and his fire starts gently surging all around the forest and he slowly walks up to Kingsman and Kingsman starts walking towards and Kingsman tries to punch Dai but Dai ducks his punch and punches him in the gut making Kingsman drop his sword and Dai punches Kingsman across the face sending him flying back and Kingsman lands hard on the ground and Itsuki and Kenji are *shocked* and Itsuki thinks
“He just sent Sensei flying with ease! Dai has truly come so far, I might need to put this idiot back in place” Kenji *smiles* and thinks
“Looks like the gap between all of us and Father is closing” Kingsman gets up and Dai walks towards Kingsman and they both throw a punch at each other clashing fist but as they do it sends out a large shock wave pushing Itsuki and Kenji back but as Dai throws another punch Kingsman catches his wrist and squeezes it very tightly and Dai *screams in pain* as Kingsman lifts him off of the ground and Itsuki and Kenji look on in *shock* as Kingsman clenches his fist and there’s a shock wave that pushes them back with a deafening sound and Itsuki and Kenji both drop to there knees *grabbing their ears in pain* but Kenji looks up and screams
“FATHER STOP!” Dai tries to shake louse from Kingsman's grip and he hears Kingsman whispers
"What did you do!" Dai is *confused* and says
"W-" Kenji and Itsuki are both able to get up and they rush Kingsman from behind and Itsuki summons his sword as him and Kenji jump into the air towards Kingsman but Kingsman punch the air in front of Dai and there’s an extremely large shock wave that launches Itsuki and Kenji into the air and it also destroys half of the forest behind Dai and splitting the ground open underneath them and Kingsman drops Dai on the ground as Dai is *convulsing on the ground in pain* and throws up on the ground as well and as Itsuki and Kenji slam into the ground Kenji slowly gets to his feet but the back door opens and Kenji turns around to see Akita and Hana in the doorway but he uses his ice to freeze the doorway stopping them from coming out and Kenji says
“Stay back!” Kenji touches the ground freezing it and fist start coming out of the ground and they grab Kingsman’s legs freezing and they starts rapidly hitting Kingsman all over his body but Kingsman is unfazed and Itsuki rushes Kingsman but he stops as Kingsman turns around and looks at him with his eyes closed and Itsuki is *shocked* and stops but Itsuki still raises his fist but he's *shocked* as Kingsman mimics his movements and Itsuki slowly puts his hand up to Kingsman and Kingsman mirrors his movement perfectly and they touch hands but Itsuki clenches his fist and swings and they clashes fist but Kingsman suddenly breaks the ice around his legs and sweeps Itsuki legs and catches him by his neck and slams him on top of Dai as Dai’s eyes open again and his fire explodes launching Itsuki into the air knocking Itsuki out but Kingsman jumps into the air and grabs Itsuki leg and throws Itsuki at Kenji but Kenji catches him.
Dai slowly gets back to his feet as Kingsman lands on the ground and Kingsman snaps as Dai tries to punch Kingsman but Kingsman’s sword flies over and the blunt side of Kingsman’s sword hits Dai onto his arm pushing it to the side and Kingsman turns around and punches him in the stomach making him fall to the ground and he *screams out in pain* and he throws up again and his wings disappear and Kingsman's darkness covers his hand and he reachs for Dai but his other hand grabs his wrist stopping himself from grabbing Dai and Kingsman eyes open up as he's holding his own wrist and his darkness disappears and he holds his head in *confusion* as he looks around and says
“What’s going on?” Dai slowly stands up clutching his stomach and he tries to punch Kingsman but he phases through him as he turns around and watches Kingsman disappear and Dai *weakly* says
“Where are you!?” A voice comes from above him and says
“Up here” Dai looks up and sees Kingsman on top of his shoulders but before he can react Kingsman stomps on his shoulder blade knocking Dai out and Dai falls to the ground but as he’s about to hit the ground Kingsman steps off of his shoulders and Kingsman looks at the doorway with ice all over it and Kingsman says
"Boy, your lower my property value with this ice. Do you know how much my paint cost?” Kingsman walks over and punches the ice on the doorway shattering it and Hana says
“Daddy, why did you do that to them?” Kingsman crouches down to her level and says
“That’s a part of our training, I know it looks like it hurts but they're fine” Hana says
“Are you sure? Because Big Brother Dai looks like he’s really hurt” Kingsman looks back and sees Dai knocked out on the ground and Kingsman says
“We’ve been fighting for a very long time he’s just very tired” Hana says
“Will we be doing all of that when I start training with you?” Kingsman says
“Have you talked to mommy about if you can train or not?” Hana looks up at Akita and says
“Mommy, can I please train with daddy?” Akita looks down at Hana and says
“I don’t know if it’s the right thing for you to do, maybe we can find you something else” Hana says
“But Big Brothers train with Daddy all the time” Akita says
“And all of them are always very hurt after they get done training with your father, so are you sure you want to train with daddy?” Hana *smiles* and says
“I still want to train with daddy! Big brothers are all just weak, i’m very strong” Kingsman *laughs* and says
“That’s my girl! We’ll start your training when you get a bit older though, and there’s no doubt in my mind you’ll surpass everyone out here today” Hana *smiles* and says
“Even you daddy!?” Kingsman *smiles* and says
“I have no doubt about that, but the person you really need to worry about surpassing is mommy. She hides the real power she has” Hana looks up at Akita and Akita is *shocked* and says
“Kingsman!” Hana says
“Mommy, can we train together?” Akita says
“I don’t train honey, i’m not a warrior like everyone else” Hana says
“But daddy said you we’re strong” Kingsman *laughs* and he kisses Hana on her forehead and says
“Mommy is even stronger than me, but she wants to really hide how strong she is” Akita says
“Stop telling her that Kingsman!” Itsuki walks towards Kingsman and says
“Sensei...Can I ask you something?” Kingsman looks back at Itsuki and says
“What is it?” Itsuki says
“Are you hiding your emotions from us to look strong?” Kingsman looks back at Hana and says
“Little one, I’ll tell you mommy's secrets later. But for now go back upstairs for now, and play with Tadashi” Hana says
“Ok daddy!” Hana kisses him on his cheek and she runs upstairs and Kingsman stands up and looks Akita in her eyes and Akita says
"Why do you have to keep telling her that?" Kingsman *smiles* and says
“Because I want her to have a strong female role model to follow" Akita says
"I don't want her getting hurt, she's doesn't need to be fighting like all the rest of you do" Kingsman says
"And I wanna make sure if she does and I'm not around she'll be able to beat them, which is more important her safety or your feelings?" Akita *sighs* and says
"Your right I just-" Kingsman says
"How about this, I'll train her to use a more defensive style. More for countering an aggressor and not rushing them" Akita hugs Kingsman and says
"Thank you" Kingsman pushes her off and says
"I'm going to have to start hitting you, you know you're not allowed to hug the king!" Akita tries to slap him but he blocks the slap and kisses her as he says
"I’ve got a surprise for you later, but for now I need you back in the house” Akita says
“Ok, be safe” She walks away as Kingsman closes the back door and Kingsman turns around and looks at Itsuki and says
“There’s a difference in keeping your emotions in control and being consumed by them. I do love and miss Riku, but I can’t sit around crying about losing him. If my every thought was about how I could have changed the events that happened then I'd start falling apart. As warriors we cannot allow the deaths of our allies to destroy us, and I'm not telling you to forget him. The exact opposite to be exact, I want you to remember the good times you’ve had with Riku. Don’t mourn him, remember him! He is not gone, he will always be with us. Watching over us and in our hearts” Itsuki says
“Yes Sensei” Itsuki walks up to Kingsman and hugs him and says
“Sensei, I’m here if you want to talk–” But Kingsman knees Itsuki in the stomach and Itsuki drops down to his knees and Kingsman grabs him by his head and lifts him up and looks him in the eyes and says
“Number one, it’s the opposite way around. Number two, I can contain and control my emotions so I do not need help. Number three, don’t touch me!” Kingsman flicks Itsuki in the head sending him flying backwards and Kenji walks up to Kingsman and he puts his hand out and hugs Kingsman but as Kingsman tries to move his arms he realizes can’t move his arms and Kingsman is *shocked* and says
"Your fast boy!" Kenji walks out of the ice around Kingsman and says
“Father I know how much you like hugs, so let me give you a big one” Kenji puts his hand up and the ice stretches over top of Kingsman fully sealing him in ice block and Kenji walks through the ice up to Kingsman and punches Kingsman all over his body and Kenji walks out of the ice as two arms made out of water shoot out of the ground and slam down on top of the ice block Kingsman is trapped in and as the dust clears Kingsman is laying on the ground and Kenji *laughs* and says
“You’re getting really slow old man” Kenji walks up to Kingsman and puts his hand on his chest but Kingsman grabs his wrist and Kenji starts freezes Kingsman’s hand but suddenly Itsuki kicks him in the back with his lightning knocking him over and Kingsman stands up and Kenji looks at Itsuki *shocked* and says
“Itsuki, what the hell are you doing!?” Itsuki is *confused* and says
“I was trying to hit Sensei, but I somehow went straight through him” Kenji is *confused* and says
“What are you talking about? I had him on the ground!” Itsuki is still *confused* and says
“But…I saw him standing over you covering you in his darkness” They both look at Kingsman and Kingsman *smiles* and says
“Just because I told you some of my secrets doesn’t mean I told you all of them” Kingsman walks into the house, Itsuki and Kenji get up and drag Dai in the house.
At the same time Kei is sitting at his desk but then the golden dragon reappears on his neck and the symbols appear on the walls again and the room goes pitch black as Haruto appears in front of him and says
“You disappoint me Kei!” Kei drops to his knees and puts his head down and says
“No my Lord please understand this is just a small set back for what we’re building, we still have Masaru and Goto'' Haruto says
“It’s very obvious you can not handle a simple task, I wanted one thing from you and you could not do it. Why do I need you?” Kei says
“I know their strategies and tactics, We can find a way to beat them. But it just seems like Kingsman and Kaito continue to grow in strength. Currently we can’t beat them, but we can find a way” Haruto says
“You continue to disappoint me over and over again by me leaving you in charge I may have been mistaken about how valuable you are, your mind truly only works one way. You must understand there’s a better way of defeating your enemies, you don’t always have to overpower them. You can simply dismantle their minds” Kei is *confused* and says
“Uhh...What are you suggesting my lord?” Haruto says
“Kingsman and Kaito have people who are very important to both of them” Kei says
“My lord, are you suggesting that I kill Kingsman's wife?" Haruto says
"That will be sufficient to breaking Kingsman's mind, but what about Kaito's?" Kei is *shocked* and says
"M-My lord... are you suggesting that...I kill my niece!?” Haruto says
“Well...I was thinking his wife, but the death of a child and a wife would destroy even the strongest of men. You are getting better, but not just yet. After it's done I’m going to take you someplace where you can become decently stronger. If I was to present you to the other members of the order as you are now you would be dismantled within a fraction of a second. Especially by Lord Jushiro” Kei is *shocked* and says
“You truly want me as a member of the Golden Order! I promise I won't disappoint you my lord!” Haruto says
“You’ve shown great loyalty to me, and I feel your battle intellect is very good. You're just clouded by your humanity. Even with that I feel as if you will still be an asset to us, understand when you conquer a universe you must do it with no fear or remorse. With what we are, emotions can not be a part of it. But let’s get back to the matter at hand” Kei says
“Thank you my lord, yes of course! But...How would I even do this?” The dragon on Kei’s neck extends down onto his hand and Haruto says
“You can use Kaito to fight Kingsman'' Kei says
"But Kaito looks at Kingsman as a brother he would never turn against him” Haruto says
“Yes, normally you would be correct. But if he wasn’t the one controlling himself then would he? All you need to do is place your hand on him and it will allow you to control his mind” Kei says
“How am I going to get close enough to him?” Haruto says
“Take advantage of him while he’s grieving, his guard will be lowered. And at that point he’ll be fueled by his emotions and not his mind. It should be weak enough for you to take over his mind for your first time. You should be able to use him as a puppet for at least a few hours” Kei says
“I-I...but–” Haruto says
“I will comeback when it’s time to proceed” Haruto disappears and the dragon on his neck disappears and the room returns with color and Kei gets to his feet and sits back in his chair and thinks
“This may be going to far, I don’t know if I can kill my niece and Akemi" Kei gets *angry* and he knocks everything off of his desk and flips his desk over and punches holes in the wall and destroys the rest of his room and as he falls back into his chair he starts *crying into his hands* but Kei stands up and wipes his eyes and thinks
I'm sorry Kaito…But I need to rebuild what our father has lost. What Kingsman has taken from us! I can not show remorse, I’m doing this to bring back what Kingsman cost us! If that takes a couple lives then so be it…I’m sorry Emi, but I have to bring my brother back to his right mind... I have to show him the monster Kingsman truly is!”
