Chapter Text
"Hey! Is this thing on?... wait..."
The camera fumbled a bit until suddenly showing the face of a young boy with raven hair and bright green eyes.
He smiled a contagious smile.
"Aha! Hey there~" he made a finger gun hand gesture.
"My name's Yuichiro Hyakuya!!! I'm 8 years old and I.... just got adopted~" he winked.
"You hear that ladies?! Adopted!! I'm gonna have my own last name and my own parents an-"
The sound of a door thrusting open and feet shuffling on the floor sounded off, startling the raven haired boy.
"Yu!!!!" A small blonde boy threw himself onto the other, pushing them to the floor below.
"Don't leave Yu!!!!"
Laughter emitted from the other as shuffling sounds came from below.
"Mika!! It'll be okay!!"
"Yu....."
A small hand thrusted into the air, grabbing the camera and slapping it off it's ledge and onto the floor.
"Dammit!" Yu cursed and the blonde gasped.
Suddenly, the camera powered off.
...
An annoying buzzing noise came from the darkness...
Until Yu opened his eyes and gazed over to the beast making it.
He threw his hand onto the cellphone that vibrated as his alarm.
He lay there for a minute or two until finally sitting up.
Y a w n.
Yu smacked his lips together and scratched the back of his head, finally standing up.
"YUICHIRO."
The voice sent him two feet in the air.
"WhaaAAT?" The teen scowled.
"Get your ass down here, it's time for breakfast!"
"Yeah yeah, Guren. I'm comin'."
The raven then slipped on some pants as he made his way to the bathroom.
-
"Oh finally, look who decided to show up." A tall raven haired man grinned down at the boy.
"Good morning, Yu~"
Yu's gaze followed to the voice, glaring at a purple haired girl around his age.
"Ah shut up, Shinoa." He grumbled as he sat down across from her.
"Yu." Another voice sounded out.
He glanced at a silver haired man who entered the dining area with a dirtied apron.
"Apologize."
"But, Shinya-"
"YU."
Yu shot up out of his chair and looked at Shinoa before bowing and apologizing.
"There." The silver haired man smiled as he walked behind Guren and wrapped his arms around his waist.
The two kids gagged at the sight.
-
"Ah, Yu." Guren placed his newspaper onto his lap. "I have some news you may like to hear."
"Hmh?" Yu gurgled through cheeks full of pancake and syrup.
"Eh..." Guren frowned. "Uh, I... We..." he gestured to himself and the silver haired man. "We recently arrested a man under the last name of Bathory."
"... okay...?" Yu wiped his mouth off with his napkin.
"He had a son under his name... first name is Mikaela."
Yu suddenly started choking.
Shinya stood in worry, "Oh gods! Yu!"
Yu guzzled some water and winced in pain. "I'm fine- I'm fine..."
Shinya sat back into his chair, worry still present on his face.
"Are you saying..."
"Correct. He was put into foster care at the age of 3 and the only person that came to mind was the young lad you talk about constantly." Guren took a sip of his coffee.
Shinoa erupted in laughter.
"What the hell's so funny?"
"You're saying this guy's actually real?" She smirked. "I just thought he was one of Yu's imaginary friends or something..." she waved her hand in dismissal.
"You're such a bitch, Shino-"
"YUICHIRO." Shinya snapped.
-
"Gods, what a coincidence." Yu sat in the passenger seat of Guren's police car.
"You're telling me." Guren smiled as he observed the road ahead.
They sat in silence.
"So... are you nervous?"
"Huh?"
"About Mikaela."
"Oh... not really. If it's Mika then he should be the same kid as before."
"Well, Yu.... he could be different too. It has been nearly nine years since you've last seen him..."
"Yeah well..."
"His father was arrested for possession of drugs and child abuse."
Yu's eyes shot open. "What?!" He shot his eyes over at the man, locking his gaze.
Guren sighed as he veered the car into the parking lot.
"Are you saying Mika was..."
"We're here." Yu's eyes glanced up at the building.
Seraph Police Station.
