It was winter, the year was 2942 and in a small city on the side of a mountain in Japan, there a young boy was swinging a wooden bokken around.
He looked only to be around 8 years old and had black hair and eyes though his skin color was slightly pale.
Suddenly a woman's voice called out "Johan" upon hearing this, the boy ran towards a decent sized house.
The house could fit about ten if they were to all live there, its color was grayish white and it had a backyard.The roof of the house was covered in snow which made it look pure white.
As the boy named Johan ran towards the house he saw a woman, the woman had blonde hair and brown eyes as she seemed quite caring and gentle, and she wore a simple green winter coat and black pants.
As Johan saw her he said: "Yes mother"
"You have to get inside, it's going to get colder, come on, the food's going to be done." said the woman.
Upon saying that the lady grabbed Johan's hand and brought him inside the house.
The furniture was quite nice, it had a sofa at the back of the living room and a tv at the front of it.
Sitting down on the couch was a young lady with black hair with patches of blonde. She had black eyes and had a white shirt underneath her brown winter coat that looked like it was made for fall or warmer winters where it didn't snow or snowed very little.
She was playing a game on the tv. The game was a shoot out as she shot people in the game before getting killed herself.
As Johan walked by her she seemed to notice the gaze and turned her to look at him before looking back at the game.
On the other side of the room a man with a sharp jawline, messy short black hair and dark eyes, and a clean face was sitting down a reclining chair. He wore a white shirt with khaki pants.
The man was drinking a soda and reading a book on his phone.
The only thing Johan knew about the book is that it was made hundreds of years ago and that it was made in China. Other than that he didn't know anything else, he didn't even know the title but he did know the man would read it enough times to be able to understand the entire book.
At this moment the lady who was Johan's mother spoke "Dear could you help me serve dinner?" "Sure." At this moment the man who was Johan's father placed his phone in his pocket, stood up, and went to the kitchen.
A few minutes later, the family ate food, drank and talked. "Dad, quick question." Said the young lady. "What is it?" Said the man. "Why do you look the same?" "I saw a photo of you during the war." "You look exactly the same." The young lady said, clearly wanting an answer.
"I work out." Said the man with a straight face while eating his food.
"THAT'S BULLSHIT AND YOU KNOW IT!" Yelled the girl clearly annoyed at the answer.
The lady spoke with an annoyed voice: "Language Aoi or I'll make sure you won't play anymore games until the end of the month."
"But mom." Said Aoi. "No buts this is final." said her mother.
"I mean I'm clearly not telling the whole truth." Said the father. "Keep defending this behavior and you'll be sleeping outside." Said the woman.
While this was happening Johan was eating his dinner.
The meal was medium rare steak, white rice mixed with milk cheese, and beans. It tasted pretty good but it wasn't amazing compared to high end dishes.
"Listen honey, Aoi is 16, she's old enough to curse." said the man.
"Ryuzo Nakaya I will not tolerate this anymore, you're sleeping on the couch." said the lady quickly before he could interrupt.
"Hold on a second." Said Ryuzo, "You can't do that Hannah. Plus she's nearly an adult, a little cursing doesn't matter."
"Yeah that's right." Aoi added to her father's remark.
"Fine you two win but you can't curse in this house, at least not near Johan." Hannah said as she pointed to Aoi. "I don't want him to be as immature as you two."
"Technically this isn't us being immature, we're just having a good time." Ryuzo said with a smile as he sat back in his chair.
"Your good time is you being immature." Hannah said, her tone showing her slight annoyance.
"But when can we have a time to relax?" Said Ryuzo. Hannah spoke: "Everyday after you're done with your work."
"See, I just need time to be free, no need to be serious all the time nor be teasing too." "You need to mix it, no human is stone cold nor is just fun and games." Ryuzo said with a smile as he drank the rest of his soda.
Aoi spoke after a snort: "I mean you're rarely serious." "There's rarely any real problems, plus if I was truly immature like your mother says I am then wouldn't I be pulling pranks and acting like someone not my age." Ryuzo said as he smiled ear to ear with a teasing tone.
"But you don't act your age, you still act the same as when you were 20." said Hannah, her tone mocking.
"Well, can't I be more relaxed with family?" "I've heard men never truly mature."
"Men like you." Aoi said, her tone teasing and having a grin that's war to ear.
"Go shovel out the snow." Ryuzo said after a few seconds.
About 30 minutes later, outside in the snow Aoi and Johan clean up the snow in the backyard, Ryuzo is cleaning the dishes in the kitchen sink, while Hannah is sitting down in the reclining chair sleeping.
At this moment far away on an island to the south of Japan, in a camp near the beach. Two groups of people were there.
One was wearing whatever with no uniform, the other was wearing white coats with a symbol on the back. The symbol was made up of a few spirals, one was made with clocks, one was made with tiny little arms, and the last one was made of doors.
At the head tent were two men. One had a sharp jawline, black eyes and hair, his hair was smooth and quite long as it almost reached his shoulders.
He wore a white shirt and dark pants, as well as a brown trench coat that had 4 pockets. Two at the edge of the coat where his hands could be, one suit pocket, and one pocket in the coat.
The other man had white hair, it couldn't be called short but it wasn't as long as the man before him. He wore the white coat as the man outside and wore dark pants with a faint golden outline. His lack of a shirt allowed for people to see scars on his torso.
At this moment the man with the white coat spoke: "Lucius, I hear you're low on money."
"That may or may not be true." Said Lucius.
"Well I have a solution to it, If you're not as poor as they say, you get some money anyways." Said the man with the white coat.
"Let's hear it." said Lucius with a smile and closed eyes. The man in the white coat smiled gently as he spoke: "Kill Ryuzo Nakaya."
