In the previous chapter:
Mirai Takasaki,administrative identity:Granted.
:Present time:
The assembly came to an end after half an hour.Mirai was still shocked.Did she really did the right thing?Was it really okay?
Hitoshi knew it was a big shock to overcome.But despite her being a half vampire,she did really well.The Greta ball wasn't suppose to glow that much,her element was water,she could work in the medical field,more importantly,the kings and the queen accepted her very easily.It was more than enough.Hitoshi thought that people would oppose her,but thankfully no one did.
"Okay then,we will be taking our leave now."The emperors started to leave.
They all stood up to show their respect.Minutes later,the room was empty leaving only the four cousins and Mirai.
"Mirai will you be fine?",Harris asked in a concerned tone.
"We should have informed you earlier,sorry",William apologized.
"Hey,hey no need to be so shocked,you are like us right?It's only normal",Mathew tried to comfort her.
"Mirai san,you will need to drink blood to survive,or else it will be like starving to death",Hitoshi tried to hide the guilt in his voice.
"I'm fine,don't worry",she said in a shaking voice.
"Let's go back to Hitoshi's castle",William advised.
"Yeah,she must be tired",Hitoshi said while leaving.
They came back to the castle.The servants greeted them as usual.Mirai also calmed herself down or so it looked like."I'll going to the room I was staying in",she said before walking away.
"Wait,you were staying in a cabin of the medical hall,the servants have arranged another room for you",Hitoshi informed her.
"Oh thank you,I'll ask one of the servants to show me the way",she said before entering the castle.
"She's much more shocked than she looks like",William said.
"It wouldn't be a problem if she was a full phase vampire",Harris added.
"But what's the point?She needs to adapt herself to this things",Mathew added.
"Still,I think we should've waited for a couple of days",her shocked face was burdening Hitoshi's mind.
The other left as they had their own castle to look after."Hitoshi,I'll come tomorrow,to check on Mirai",Harris before leaving.
Hitoshi just nodded."I need to apologize to her,it's my fault that she's having to face this things",he was continuously blaming himself.
Hitoshi went to her room.Before he entered,he heard Mirai talking to herself."What have I done?Why is everything getting so messed up?What should I do now?",she was saying those things to herself.
Hitoshi felt his heart ache."Why am I getting so worked up?I know it's my fault and I'll apologized to her."It was rare for cold hearted Hitoshi to apologize to someone.
"Mirai san?",he called her as softly as he could.
"Yes?",she quickly calmed herself down.
"I need to tell you something",he was afraid,afraid of getting blamed at.
"What is it?",she tried to ask casually.
"That night...it's my fault,they attacked on us.They are called Astras and they are from the third dimension,werewolf is what you call them.Few days ago,they attacked the central palace to steal a very important scroll,so we had to defeat them.I killed most of them,my cousins were there too,but they are not as violent as me.So they decided to avenge their partners by killing me.And the man who bit you was the chief guard who was guarding the scroll.He betrayed us.It's completely my fault that you are having to face this problems now.I am extremely sorry for making things hard for you",guilt was visible in his eyes.
Mirai could tell that he wasn't lying.He was apologizing from his heart.But she couldn't say anything."It's not his fault,that I was attacked by that man,he was trying to save me",she thought.
"It's fine Hitoshi san,you didn't want to involve me in that chaos.You don't need to apologize",she said signaling that she forgave him.
"I have a request",he said in a demanding voice.
Mirai was shocked by the sudden change in his tone."Yes?",she asked.
"Please don't blame yourself for what happened today.If you refused to drink it,then it would be impossible to get your granted letter.What's wrong if you drank it?You need it for surviving right?",he tried to comfort her.
"O-okay",she felt relieved for some reason.It felt okay."I mean,what's the point in regretting it?It's a part of my new life right?",she thought to herself.
"Thank you Hitoshi san,your words really helped me and don't worry I don't blame you neither I'm mad at you",she replied with a smile.
"Thank you for understanding.I will be leaving now",he felt relieved.
"Good night",she greeted in a happy voice.
"Hmm",he wasn't really used to this kind of greetings.
The next day Mirai got up early.She was served breakfast by the servants.Her all time favourite apples were served too.She felt like taking a walk outside.The place was a little dark,but the Sun was radiating a red light making it look like a fairy tale.
"Taking a walk?",Hitoshi showed out of no where.
Mirai flinched at the sudden presence."Yeah",she replied.
"Good you are getting used to environment.So don't you have any questions to ask me today?",he asked as he liked it when she asked him questions like a kid.
"Oh yeah,I forget!Listen who was that beautiful lady at the assembly come ceremony yesterday?",she asked.
"She's the Queen of Xena,our aunt",he replied.
"Aunt?Is she Harris's mother?I guess she was attending the assembly because her husband,I mean the king couldn't.
"No,you are getting it wrong.She rules Xena.She's our aunt and she is not Harris's real mom",he knew she didn't get it.
"Huh?",she was confused.
"You see William was the first son of the king of Krypton,but his mother died shortly after his birth.It was hard for uncle Sebastian to take care of William because he was way too young.So,he decided to remarry.Harris is the son of the second wife.Thankfully,she was very kind,so she raised William like her own son.Sadly she also passed away.Our aunt Evelyn decided not to marry anyone,so she offered Harris to become her son.But uncle Sebastian declined the offer,he loves his sons very much.Harris thought that our aunt felt lonely so he decided to became the prince of Xena as it didn't have any future successor."he explained it.
"What are you guys,products?People are exchanging you guys",she didn't like the system.
"It wasn't that easy,William sees Harris as his own younger brother,they were roughly 10 years old when this happened,he didn't want Harris to leave.Same with uncle Sebastian.Harris had a hard time convincing them.According to him,he did it for the sake of Xena and Luciana",he said.
"I see",she thought it was unfair at first,but his motives were for the good.
"Hitoshi san?Why is your name in Japanese?Your cousins' names are all British styled,you even live in Victorian styled castle",she wondered.
"My mother named me,she was from Japan,the Hanao clan",he said.
She knew that she shouldn't continue the conversation on that topic."Oh,she named you a beautiful name.What's your spiritual element?",she asked.
"Mine is fire",he cast a spell on some black flowers in the garden and it burned out.
"Hey why did you burn them?it's not like I didn't believe you!",she exclaimed in not a very angry voice.
"Oh okay",he stopped burning the flowers.
"When I touch the Greta ball,first it turns bright orange then red,meaning my element is fire and my working field is Army.I'm chief of the whole army of Luciana",he flexed on his position.
"No need to flex",she joked.
"I'm not flexing.
"Green means medical field right?I guess I'll be working with Harris",she happily clapped like a kid.
"What are you so happy for?",he mumbled.
"Speak of the devil...",he saw Harris running towards them.
His white long hair flying in the hair."Hey there my lost lamb like cousin",he greeted him.
"Don't forget that I'm older than you",Hitoshi said with a cold glare.
"Yes,sorry",he wasn't trying to make Hitoshi angry.
"Lost lamb like?"Mirai chuckled.
"Oh good morning my beloved sister",he winked.
"Since when is she your sister?",Hitoshi asked in that same cold voice.
"Since last night,she's just like me,kind and bold and cool and-",Harris was willing to continue.
"Shut up!She's not as stupid as you are",Hitoshi cut him off.
"Stop it already",she said while laughing.
"How are feeling today?",Harris asked.
"Much better",she replied.
"So have you decided what are you going to do now?",Harris asked.
"I won't probably stay here forever,I will go back to Earth and come back to see everyone,just like Hitoshi san",she gave her thoughts.
"And what about your element?Won't you train?Listen,as a half human,you can be targeted so I think it's better if you improve your skills",he advised.
"He's right,you can ask William to train you,he's element is also water",Hitoshi said.
"Of course I will,what did I say about working with Harris?"she smiled gently.
"Really?!My long lost sister will train with me too",Harris dramatically.
"I'm your long lost sister now?",she chuckled at Harris's childishness.
Harris also smiled after noticing that she's mentally stable.Meanwhile Hitoshi was looking at Harris's stupidity."This guy is hopeless",he thought.
"Hey Hitoshi san where did you get your fake PMLE report from?",she asked casually.
"Harris arranged it",he replied.
"You see I'm staying at Earth for a mission and I work as a dermatologist there,so I arranged a fake report for him",Harris spoke.
"Well can you make me one too?",she requested.
"Anything for my sister",he smiled.
"You accepted him as your brother already?",Hitoshi asked her in disbelief.
"Yes,I he's cool and he's the chief of the medical field",she beamed her infamous smile at Harris.
"You heard that Hitoshi?Heh!",his happiness increased to another level.
Hitoshi was staring at them with his colder than ice orbs.William arrived at the scene."Look who showed up~",Harris signaled the presence of William.
"Oh hello",she greeted him.
"Hey,you feeling okay now?"he asked.
"Yup",she smiled.
"Hey William guess what?She's my,I mean our sister now",he started jumping again.
"What?",William asked him confusedly.
"Nevermind him.William,have thought anything about training her?",Hitoshi asked him to teach some water spells to Mirai the last night.
"Yes,why not?",he said.
"I couldn't believe it at first",William said.
"I know right?She'll work with me,her brother".Harris smiled.
"Hitoshi was worried about something else."Can she hunt down humans back in Earth?She is ready for this?,he was worried.
"She'll have to adapt herself,she must",Hitoshi thought.
"If this is my new life,I'll try to do my best,I know it's not easy but I can't let these people down."She thought.
