Chapter18: The guardian of the future generation

A few days have passed and while most have left Torino is left alone to maintain the temple.

But more importantly Shirogane and Hikaru have not left earth just yet, they find themselves at Shirogane's family home.

But they are not alone...

Kibar and Kenta also find themselves there.

Khira brought herself out her eyes already filled with tears, with a few escaping down her face, it was clear to all that she already knew what was about to happen.

And while Tenso did not understand he held his mothers hand, with an unrelenting grip.

And soon Kibar questioned and for once again he felt as if he almost wasn't a beast, "so is he my nephew?".

Kenta ready to answer was put to a halt as Shirogane spoke first "yes brother..., Tenso is my child and your nephew which brings me to why I brought you here".

All eyes sat upon Shirogane awaiting for him to release them of their confusion.

The winds whistled through the forest as Shirogane brought his gaze to the beast.

"Brother I once disowned you but I see that I made a mistake thanks to Hikaru and your own efforts you have shown me that you can be more then just a beast..., so while I am gone I ask you to look after my no our family".

Everyone stunned, Khira pleaded and begged for Shirogane to change his mind.

But instead Shirogane placed his hands upon her shoulders and slowly placed her onto the grassland beneath them.

Speaking with demand Shirogane asked once more "so brother what is your answer, will you protect our family while I'm away?".

Kibar without doubt shouted out his answer "I will brother I'll make sure no harm comes to either of them even if it costs me my own life".

Khira cried out in despair as she did not share the same trust Shirogane did.

Kenta reassured Khira as he gave his opinion "I will be guarding earth from all spies sent by Uzunami so in between that I'll come down and help you all".

And without giving a response Shirogane and Hikaru disappeared from earth.

Tenso still holding into his mother's hand cried out "where's dad going mum?".

In which all he heard was "he has to go away for a while", although no one knew if he would return they just had to believe in Shirogane's new made strength.
