Unknown Blood

He continued watching the exchange between the two woman, his mind reeling with so many thoughts. On one hand, Akemi was here rescuing him from potential danger. My father should be the one standing there... he thought bitterly, though confusion struck again when he thought about what the woman had told him. She said Kau was dead, that he paid for his crimes. If that were true, why hadn't Shiki known at all? Why didn't Pamela tell him? Surely she would have known...some part of him felt betrayed. That everyone was keeping secrets from him.

He glanced at Ylva as she spoke, the woman wanted to help him...but why? She said she was a darker being, that on any other occasion she would rather rip another to shreds simply put, but here the woman was wanting to help him. Someone she didn't even know. But...he felt that no matter what, he'd always be this way. Confidence was not his forté. "I..." He faltered in his words, unsure of what to say. His gaze wandered over towards Akemi, the boy swallowed back some mixed up emotions. "If you are who you said you were...then why didn't you try to search for me? I didn't get the chance to learn from my Father...and.." He sighed, "Maybe she can teach me what you failed to do."

He knew it may have sounded harsh, that it would hurt Akemi. But despite what she was doing, what she claimed to be, he was torn and confused. But at the same time, she hadn't proved yet that her words were true. Save for this moment. But how did he know this wasn't some sort of facade? His gaze returned to the ground, the boy trying not to scream in frustration.
