I want this one! The one with the dragon symbols engraved on it!" I said excitedly for no reason at all.
"Pfft..." Yamiko and Yura giggled at my out burst that came out of nowhere.
"Ahm, my bad sorry. Just got excited for a moment there..." I said turning to them and rubbing the back of my neck in shame.
"Okay okay, pfft...." Yamiko tried to speak but it only came out as laughter to my ears.
"Okay it's not funny anymore." I said my tone and face darkening.
"Hmph, giving your dear old grandma a glare like that when she just came to a store to buy you a gift. Young boys these days." Yamiko said looking at me with a disappointed but playful look.
"So are you gonna buy me it or what." I said trying to change the topic.
"Yeah, we'll take that one." She said looking at the shop worker as she pointed to the ring I said I wanted.
The worker then took the ring out and packed it in a box for us. Yamiko then pulled out a card and payed for the ring. Getting the ring we left the store and entered the car again.
Yuro drove us for about another half and hour until we were at a mansion 'at least that's what I would call it.' The so called house had a yard surrounding it from all sides that made the house feel centered but not trapped, for someone to see the end of the yard they'd have to strain their eyes. Although they could still see the trees that edged on the borders of the yard.
There was also a walkway leading to the 'house' that was 3 stories. The first floor was where the kitchen, bathroom, dining room, living room, a meditation room and a room that had all sorts of different stuff just packed about, probably a storage room were.
On the second floor there were bedrooms mostly and the third floor was filled with rooms full of treasures of all sorts. Oh and there was a basement.. Although I never got to go down there. They said I would see it later or something.
Eventually we ended up spending a few hours just setting up my room with the maids. Turns out my grandma had a bunch of stuff already prepared for me. I had a wardrobe filled with clothes. A couple of shoes to go with the outfits. I even had a super comfy bed that currently had a fluffy sheet I couldn't wait to land on tonight. Oh and my bedroom was really big.. it even had a balcony where I could go out and watch the stars in the night or just sit in peace.
As far as I was concerned this was heaven. Servants to help me with whatever I needed, a grandmother to spoil me and a place where I could be in peace. Well at least it was heaven until that happened...
..Now I'm sitting at the dining table hands on my lap frozen cold and face filled with terror, as a man sat opposite me staring me down like if I was a mice and he was but a simple cat that was ready to kill me with a swipe from his claws.
But hold on a minute let's explain exactly how I ended up in this situation.
I was lying down on my comfy bed when... "Knock, knock." Came the devil's minion knocking at my bedroom door.
"Yes, come in." I replied oblivious to the trouble this one interaction would bring me.
"Hey Ryouto Ms. Yamiko said you should start getting ready for the dinner tonight." Yura said as she walked into my room.
"Oh, it's that time already?" I said looking out the window to see the sun setting on the horizon already.
Realizing the time, I got ready. Puting on the black and dark purple kimono that a maid placed out for me to wear.
After finishing getting ready I sat in my room waiting for my grandma as she said she would come find me once I was done.
Eventually she came and we went downstairs to the dining room. She then proceeded to sit me down and told me to wait here as she had something to do in the mean time.
I sat there in silence for about a good five minutes when someone finally walked into the room. Expecting to see my grandma I turned to the door still sitting only to see a man in a kimono that was black and purple like mine walk in. His eyes purple like my grandma's and hair black reaching his shoulder.
As the man walked in every step he took felt as though it made an earthquake, or maybe it was just my imagination. The man eventually finished his ever so stylish walk and sat opposite me. Looking straight into my eyes he demanded..
" Your name boy and which bastard's child are you." Yes this man out right demanded my name. Not asked. Demanded it and then had the nerve to call my parents bastards? Oh he was pushing buttons alright and I wasn't one to back down so I replied..
" Me? I'm your mom's side piece." I grinned, feeling pride from my snarky remark but oh boy what a big mistake that was...
Skip forward a few seconds and there you have it. That's how I ended up in this dire situation. Now you might still be wondering how is this situation even dire right.
Well if the camera that I assume is always recording me zoomed out a bit you'd see a gigantic frickin purple spear a few inches above the man's head with the tip facing me.
What's more the spear was made of freaking black flames that I could sense was somehow similar to my destruction energy. With that knowledge alone I was pretty sure if that touched me I'd be as good as dead.
"Oh god.." I muttered breath shaky from the fear.
'Not questioning her about what this dinner would be about or who would be there was a big mistake...
But I mean like what maniac would immediately think a monster like him would be here!!' I cried to myself praying I would at least make it out of here with all four limbs still attached.
