[Shibuya, Yoyogi]
*Kaido's Mother POV*
My name is Riruko, Kiriha the mother of Kaido, the very same person who have bore him
*********
Name: Riruko, Kiriha
Age: 41
Gender: Female
Occupation: Manager of Fashion Industry company
*********
On the day that I talked towards Kaido about the terms and conditions of an unknown organization, both me and my husband Riruko, Taiki then slowly have considered about such ofbtheir proposal
*********
Name: Riruko, Taiki
Age: 46
Gender: Male
Occupation: Manager of a TV industry company
*********
Through one of their conditions such as either curing Kaido's Esper ability or making use of it, either one of those chances will be beneficial to our family
Through that my husband has agreed to such condition and only waited for my son's agreement, after all said and was done he still respects Kaido's wishes
Naturally as a mother I need to have some talked towards him, which happened the next day after that
In this world the view point towards espers is divided into two, on one side they pity the espers thus showing kindness and fairness while the other shows hostility among them
Among such hostile people are people that were once aggravated and hurt in the past by people who has esper abilities
Of course after explaining everything to my son the next day in a restaurant, he then slowly agreed to the conditions and wishes to return when everything was settled, my husband was also contented with his decision thus we awaited for his return
The next day he then went missing without another word, due to that we inquire whether he was taken in without our notice, but eventually we found out that he was really taken in right under our nose
We didn't even get to say goodbye to him
For the next few months we waited for some results, naturally the organization that was called as supported by the government, gave us its monthly results which said that his powers would be beneficial for the country, thus we were relieved
My husband even asked when he would be released and yet they gave us vague answers such as "soon"
But after that month, when the next report came in, we were suddenly struck to have been sent a notice that Kaido had died during an incident
Filled with rage my husband charged into their office to complain about the said report stating that this wasn't a funny joke, yet his death was verified by the very same surveillance we had gathered
Apparently he died after being taken down by a guard through a gunshot
My husband then went wild with rage as he tried to find justice, but the only reply we got was that the said guard was then fired from his position and nothing more
Of course we knew that such thing was a lie since we also handle such things before
Field with grief we spent the next few weeks mourning for him and after one month we held a private burial for him
Naturally Ayame, Kaido's girlfriend but recently broke up with kaido due to her family obstructions then caught the wind of his death
Of course she cried as she too mourned for him, she asked for his forgiveness for breaking up with him and even said conditions that if she never had done such a thing, then he wouldn't have died
But all said and done, what was done was done
After those times a year has passed since Kaido's death, every month either me and my husband visit his grave or Ayame visits him
We lived our life like any ordinary people, we tried as hard as we can to live a happy peaceful life, but naturally it won't be the same anymore
With my son's death the color of our life seemed to also disappear, we almost lost the meaning of it, but we still stayed strong and live just for his sake
Naturally I would have thought of moving on, but the memories I saw everytime I went to the places we went in the past keeps flooding back, only sadness would be left inside me
But something different happened at that moment
As I was taking a stroll from my work break I then saw him, Kaido right infront of me, even thought his back was facing me but the his voice was the same as before
The moment I called out to him, he naturally turned to look my way, and throught that I saw him, Kaido my son was alive
*********
*Third person POV*
After Kiriha seeing his son Kaido right infrotn of her seemingly alive, she then begun to tear up as she slowly approached Kaido while raising her arms to atleast try and touch his face
Unfortunately Kaido couldn't even recognize his own mother, all he knew about her was her location and name
After a few steps from her Kaido then begun to feel unpleasant as he slowly begun to back away
"What the?!?! Who the hell are you?"
Hearing that Kiriha then suddenly stood on her place as if she was stunned by Kaido's reaction
From the way she look into his reaction upon seeing her, there were no emotions such as longing, love, sadness, nor happiness but only confusion
Due to that her movements froze as she looked at him with a pitying look
"Do you know me?" She asked
Hearing that Kaido then sternly looked at her and asked a question himself
"Do I suppose to know who you are?"
With that question Kiriha then confirmed that Kaido must have lost some memories after being shot on the head
Even thought she doesn't know why Kaido was standing infront of her or why he is alive, even thought even science couldn't explain such things, she only knows what was infront of her
She saw Kaido meaning that Kaido was real and alive while standing right infront of her
"W... what's your name?"
Slightly irritated Kaido then replied
"Kaido... Riruko, Kaido... and you are?"
Hearing that answer Kiriha once more started to tear up as she confirmed that it was really indeed her own son
With tears falling down her cheeks she then replied
"Kiriha... Riruko, Kiriha"
Hearing that both of them had the same surname Kaido was then totally stunned as he stood in disbelief
"No way! Then does that mean..."
But before he could finish Kiriha then interjected as she said
"It's me! It's your mother!"
With flooding emotions Kiriha then lounged towards Kaido as she hugged him tightly and carrassed his head
Such feeling of his skin and presence, Kiriha missed all of those, if she wished she could have that very touching moment stop as she savor in the bitterness of losing her son
For one year Kaido has disappeared from the face of the earth, for one year them as a parent's couldn't even bury his body, for one year they couldn't find a trace of him
All those bitterness and sadness suddenly overhet so much as she cried while hugging Kaido tightly
As she hugged him she noticed how much Kaido has changed, his tone of voice became deeper, his skin tone was a bit pale, he also lost a lot of weight, and also the vibe surrounding him has changed
The once cheerful, happy, and kind atmosphere he got could no longer be seen in him, but this instead was replaced by mysteriousness, dangerous, and slightly dark vibe
But all of these things could be neglected as long as he was alive, she couldn't even wait to tell her husband about this
Of course for Kaido he clearly let his mother hugged him, as he though that such things were natural
After that long hug Kiriha then sized up Kaido as she wanted to know everything about him, of course such place wasn't appropriate for their talk so she suppressed her curiosity and pulled him towards as family restaurant nearby the street
*********
After sitting down on the soft chair she then started to stare at Kaido's indifferent gaze as she glanced at his style
With that she commented
"You look more like mature than the last time I saw you"
"I've been through a lot" replied Kaido as he crossed his arm
Hearing that Kiriha slowly nodded as she pulled out her phone and contacted someone
Soon a video call was suddenly connected to her husband as she smiled while preventing herself from crying
Seeing her expression Taiki her husband suddenly became worried as he stopped the documents that he was arranging and asked her
"Dear? Whats wrong? Why do you look like you have recently cried?"
With that question Kiriha slightly choked up on her words as she said
"Dear... I've got some incredible news"
With that answer she then slowly turned the camera towards Kaido which clearly shows his whole face
Upon seeing Kaido his father was so stunned that he dropped his documents unto the floor as she stared intently towards Kaido
Seeing his reaction Kaido asked
"And your supposed to be my mother's husband meaning your my father correct?"
At that moment Taiki asked Kiriha
"H... how? How could he be there? How did you met him? Is he really our son? Is he not a fake?"
With that Kiriha answered
"I've asked him various questions that only our son knew, and guess what? He knew all of them and he said thatbhis name was Riruko, Kaido... he wouldn't even know that I'm his mother if I didn't tell him"
Hearing that Taiki then started to tear up as he suppressed him completely crying to avoid some attention from his colleague
"My son! How? I clearly saw you being shot! How are you still alive?"
With that Kaido replied
"Its a long story, trust me you'll get bored"
Due to that both Kaido and his father talked for some time until the latter was called in by his colleague for a meeting
Of course with that his father promised to talk to him later on as he left
During those times he then telepathically contacted Aileene and the others to come to his location
At the same time Kiriha puts down her phone and smiled longingly
"Its been so long, I'm not the only one who misses you, even your girlfriend Ayame misses you... though I don't know if she moved on and had another relationship, but I know she misses you to the point that she daily visit your grave even today"
Hearing that Kaido replied
"Is that so? If she is good at something, then maybe the situation wouldn't be that complicated"
"Complicated? How come?"
At this moment a joyful voice then came in from the restaurant followed by other people that caught the eyes of the crowd, naturally Melfina was among them
Following that Sui then came rushing in towards Kaido's arm
"Papa!!!"
Hearing that Kiriha was a bit stunned as she look between Sui and Kaido
But as if that wasn't enough, as the others seated on another table near them, Ingrid on the other hand seated beside Kaido as she saw Kiriha
After Kaido told her that she was his mother, Ingrid's attitude became even more respectful as she quickly stood up and bowed
"Ny apologize if I didn't recognize you mother, my name is Ingrid im kaidos..."
But as she was hesitating to say that, Kaido immediately pulled her to his side as he boldly said
"She's my woman, she have been with me for a very long time and also supported me unknowingly... you can trust her mother"
With that Kiriha was then once more stunned as she switched his gaze between Ingrid, Kaido, and Sui
Of course upon hearing that the lady infornt of them was Kaido's Mother Sui immediately came forward as she lounged towards Kiriha
"Im Sui! Papa's daughter! Nice to meet you grandma!"
With that Kiriha was instantly stunned by this situation as not only did she received her son back, but she also received a future daughter-in-law and a granddaughter
With that she was completely overwhelmed
