Yuna
I was sitting on the edge of my bed, the door of my room opened and Yori entered the room
"if it isn't my lil bro."
"yeah it's me," Yori said with a faint smile.
"so, got a new question?"
"yeah, a few" he was quite confident when he said that.
"..."
"Why do you and others show no emotions?"
"It's simply because they're deeply concealed within our hearts. Your case is different than ours."
"Was Yura like this too? Or was his problem even greater because he was the most gifted and strongest among you all."
"Okay I kinda got a hint of what you want to ask. So actually if you think he's the most talented and gifted then you're mistaken. He was the one who worked hard to most. He even skipped his meals to go to that level and yet he wasn't the strongest."
"... " before he could speak up I took a breath and startled talking again.
"He was just titled strongest because me and our other siblings never wanted to fight each other so we decided to not stand out and Yura willingly agreed to be the one to stand out and remove the spotlight off us. and no, you can't ever reach that level."
" Why, I'm in his own body and have the same voice as his the same face and the same power. so why? " he lost his cool and his tone rose up.
I got up from my bed and reached out my hand and started caressing his cheek.
" You know as we said we all accept you but there are still some that doesn't and never will too. Even we have a limit to our acceptance. Yura's power and his attributes just don't acknowledge you."
"...."
"like how mamma loves you but even you have realised from yura's memories that the love that you're getting is not the same as yura got."
"What about that faceless girl? I often dream of her but I can't even recall her name let alone any memory related to her." Ahh this idiot he's gonna get himself killed.
"Listen, please don't ever talk about her. She loved Yura, more than anything else and she rejects you even more than yura's attributes or power. She will rip you to shreds over and over and over and keep bringing you back to life then do the same.."
"..." his expression started darkening
" I swear we all are enough to destroy cities but her.
We can't even put a scratch on her together. She's the actual strongest among us all. "
" so how can I be safe from her? "
" she isn't that heartless. She isn't even close to this place. As long as you don't search for her you're safe. "
" where is she now? "
" in some faraway place, but no one knows exactly where. "

" My lady, here's your coffee. "
" please drop the formalities miss Ellore. We're friends. "
" but your background, I'm in no condition to address you like that. You're the-"
" hey hey, didn't I ask you to not mention my identity."
She was sitting under the tree, wearing a black hoodie. Her hairs were long pink colored with red ends paried with black eyes which seem to absorb all light. Her face had a cold expression but her eyes were clearly showing her sorrow. Her snow white skin was always pale as if her body was devoid of life itself.
"ummm, Cynthia. Did you manage to use the move you were practicing?" I asked her thinking it might distract her a little bit
She put the cup down and slowly spoke "kind of, I did it. It's now complete."
"I wanna see it" before I even knew these word slipped past my mouth in excitement.
She got up and walked to an open area and carved a sword out of ice crystals
"dark crescent" she swung her sword, creating a white crescent shape blade which was moving as if it has a will of its own. At the same the sky went black and the surrounding were filled with unimaginable bloodlust.
The crescent shaped blade hit a tree as everything went to normal and that sword made out of ice crystals eroded in thin air unable to withstand the power.
"just who the hell made this attack." I said out of pure shock
"We came up with the idea, and contributed together in it to complete it." she said as I saw a faint glimmer of happiness in her eyes before it disappeared again
It was the first time in years that I saw something other than that sorrow in her eyes, no actually it was the first time.
" So, is it the same person you're waiting for?"
"yes, but actually he's long gone. He... Closed his eyes in my arms."
". . ." I couldn't imagine what she had to go through, my eyes were already filled with tears.
"and the worst part is that, he said that he has eyes just for me. That fucking bookworm. He was so young yet he was completely aware of everything, even love. I didn't even get enough time to return my feelings. That idiot."
"I'm sorry that I can't ease your pain in any way."
"it's fine, he'll make fun of me if he found me like this."
"..."
"you know, there's a slight possibility that he might return. that's why i'll be strong. no matter how long it takes. "

"Wake up Yura, it's already 5 A.M. We have a Lot of plans for today. If you keep sleeping like this you'll forever remain single."
"Let me sleep Yui , we still have a whole day, on top of it. It's a drag to wake up this early."
Yuna was sitting on the other side of bed playing and messing with Yura's hairs while drinking tea.
"Let me sleep. I don't wanna see the faces fo those bast-."
Yuna put her hand on his face and said.
"Use a bad word and I'll smash your cute face on the wall."
"you are the perfect example of beauty and the beast.
On top of that Who doesn't want to annoy his beautiful sisters on waking him up. Yawn, so what's the plan."
"good boy, now go brush your teeth your tea is ready."
From the back, Yui said
"Father sent us money so that we can buy whatever we want. We won't be seeing him this year. I guess."
"It's a real drag when your father is the strongest of the family and a war is going on."
"I wonder how many will go to heaven by his hands this time."
"Hey, have you ever wondered why girls everywhere are mad for those 7 gay like boys. What was their name
B T ... Leave it. They look gay plus not our type. My brother is the most handsome for me."
"agreed and also they are called BTS."
From the back Yura came. While lifting his cup of tea, He sat on the bed beside Yuna
"How do you know them? Don't tell me you like them."
The next moment he got a hard punch on his stomach.
"ouch, it hurts"
The door opened and Yuzaki with sleepy Cynthia entered the room while carrying her on his back.
"Good morning sissies, you too Yura."
"To you guys too"
"same from my side"
"yawn-sawme tou yu" Yura said while yawning, he was for real sleep deprived.
"We all grew up so fast and everything has changed since then hasn't it?"
Cynthia suddenly spoke
"Not everything changed, You are still as single as before, you are still lazy, you are a rascal, and you are still the king of rascals. On top of all you are the shortest among everyone. Wanna hear more?"
"Damn. "
"No comments. "
"My brother got burned by the blades for chaos."
"Lets change the topic!."
Few hours later
Yura was in the room with his mother, Kaguya.
As the name suggested she was a cold beauty who ruled the battlefield with her blade and wrath.
" Mamma"
"Yes dear"
"What if I fail to be strong?"
"silly, What gave you that idea? Now listen. No matter what you choose to do. No matter where you go. I will love you always the same."
"I left the castle so that I don't have to shed blood of my own kind but as a consequence of it. Now, I am an assassin who kills innocents."
"It doesn't matter what we are doing If we know it's wrong and we ask god for its forgiveness. You do ask. Right?"
"yup"
"Good boy"
Yura smiled after years since he didn't meet Kaguya for years. I had been several months since anyone saw him smile. She smiled and hugged him tightly
"Don't worry, it's just a matter of time before you get over this state of emotionlessnes. Everyone around you thinks you lack them but, I know you have them. In the purest state, safe from the darkness of this world. Sorry for not being there for you when you needed me."
"I have one last question... Who is the strongest?"
". . ."
". . ."
". . ."
". . ."
"It's going to be you. Many legends have passed from generations to generations. The strongest isn't the one who forgives. The strongest isn't the one who is unbeatable. All those legends were different in their own.
They had their own weaknesses, their own strengths and their own weapons but you are going to outshine all of them."
" How do you believe me so much? "
" I am even afraid to pickup a sword. "
" It's simple, because you are my son. "
". . . "
" You will face many setbacks on your way, you'll be devoured by darkness and despair of your heart again and again, but deep down in my heart I know that you will be the strongest. You will once find yourself infront of an unclimbable wall of natural talent and chosen ones.
That is the start of your journey.
This world is not like we think it is.
If you want to be strong you will get hardest problems.
If you want to be kind you will be consumed by darkness.
If you want to be a good person you will be forced to do bad things.
And if you overcome it all, you will succeed in your life.
That is the true motive of life.
I WILL NOT GIVE YOU ANY HELP OR GUIDE YOU ON YOUR WAY because I want you to learn the same way I did, your father did, the strongest did. "
" You know last night when I woke up to wash my face. I saw my eyes completely blood red at first I thought they were bleeding but I was sure when I washed my face to check them again. Is it a sign on some weakness? "
". . . "
" What happened? You are so silent... "
" It isn't weakness, dear. That's a normal phenomenon in the family. That's a special skills everyone unlocks in their way. You just happened to unlock it early. Hehe.!
Wanna eat some ramen? I'm gonna cook some."
"Yeah, I'll go tell yunee and yuinee too."
" Invite Tsukasa and her kids too. "
" wow, you mean yuzanii's mother is here too.
Yura was unaware of few things. That Kaguya wanted him to realise by the passage of time.
"I'm about to give y'all a heart attack be ready"
"No shock can gimme a heart attack" said Tsukasa
". . ."
". . ."
". . ."
". . ."
"Bet me 10000 grand"
"I bet double" said Tsukasa while she was lifting a glass of water to drink.
"Yura is the dark vessel."
".You caught me there, I lost. It isn't a good thing that the boy who was already the weakest is born with his power split into three unequal parts and he posses the smallest part"
"I trust my brother"
"Same with us all"
"It's time for your appointment to the doctor go and get a checkup."
Kaguya went to her academy the same day cuz she had an urgent call.
Suddenly he woke up.
"ahhh, another dream of that bastard's happy memories."
