After the short reunion, which blew in my head but not physically. I got up and after she review a few details on how they were taken and who could possibly do it. It was clear why she hid around the city as no one decided to help her. But I was here now, maybe disguised but I was here.
I followed her to a supposed stake out location, we could see everything from where we stood. I stared at a warehouse near a dock sail, perhaps the people who took them were criminal. Clearly in need of money but either way, I would ruin their lives.
I offered her to stay put that I would be the only one entering the wear house. I made he promise that she won't enter no matter what she heard. Although, she kept asking me questions about her brother and not calling the police. I strolled calmly into the place and took my time, blowing the front door open.
I wanted to end this who stuff quickly, before man hunters shows up. Just as I thought, it was criminals who needed money. I took my time, ignoring there annoying speech at me. The sight of my parents tied up, in a chair made me pissed but I remained calm. I knew I couldn't fight with my ghoul Kagune, so obviously I will have to use my hands in this fight.
"Hey punk, am talking to you. What the hell are you?! A man in a black singlet and baggy shorts snapped at me. He had an orange hair cut and mustache.
I sighed as imagined this battle to be pretty easy. I glanced around the small warehouse and counted them. 7, no 8. I hissed as this seemed stressful but I can get my family back on track now. At least, I might be a ghoul but I can save them. But first I need them to be the one to attack me first and of course, have to use normal weapons and not my Kagune. I didn't want my folks to know I was a ghoul or whatever.
"Come at me, bastards". I muttered in a low voice and had them launch themselves at me. I dodged a their attacks and launched a counter. It was pretty easy, since I was already trained to fight and clearly was a boss at it. I beat them all up and had them laid on the ground.
I sighed and stepped over to my terrified parents, who mumbled words as their lips was sealed. I paused as I heard a rolling sound, turning back slowly to see a grenade being thrown by one of the men. I swinged my right foot and kicked it up in the air, it blow up and creates a dust filled cloud.
"Thank you son. Who are you exactly? My father asked as I ripped his cuffs apart. I kept my eyes away from his questionable gaze as I refused to answer the question. But I can assure they were watery with tears.
"He's Suzame. A friend of Ichigo! Eugene snapped out and came out her hiding place in the corners of the barrel.
"Eugene?! I snapped out and she ran over to give me a sweet hug. I had my body shiver as she muttered.
"thanks…Suzame". I wanted to come clean and explain who I was but before I could even say a word. I felt my father's hand on my shoulder, my mother's beautiful smile at me. I was starting to give in, even further when my father muttered.
"You sound…just like Ichigo, our son". My father stuttered and I turned and looked at him.
"True… amongst all his friends, I haven't met one named Suzame". My mother muttered rubbing her chin.
"M…m..". I bite my lower lip, underneath my mask as I was hurting inside.
"Thanks again for saving us, kid or should I say…Ichigo". My father spoke and I widened my vision. He called me by my name, tapping my back again. I turned to look at him as he give me an assuring smile.
"Ichigo? You're Ichigo right? Eugene asked and I couldn'tbreak myself to speak. I fell over and screamed in agony. I felt the reunion of a family brewing and I was surly not going to stop it.
"How did you know? I asked as I took my mask off.
"Easy. The voice, battle stance remembered me of my early days, you know. Plus when you were dodging their attacks, I caught a rare glimpse of your face and that's how I knew, you were Ichigo".
"Dad, mother, Eugene". I cried out and gave them a hug. We hugged for a long time, seeing them a excited and happy to see me.
"where have you been? My mother asked and I knew I had to lie.
"I travelled with Milo. We got lost a bit but made it back". I muttered and expected a scoff somewhere.
"Come on son, no need to lie to your old man". My father grinned.
"Fine! I sighed and looked back at them, with a look of seriousness. "I was at Yumeko's. She had me there and my phone was in bad shape, so I used hers to contact Eugene after I heard
"what happened". I scoffed and got a wide stare.
"Yumeko? Oh yeah, the beautiful girl. But big brother, why wear mask. It's like you didn't want to know it was you". Eugene asked and I snarled, biting my lower lip as lying was not in my strong suit.
"that because, he didn't want you to know who he is". A voice muttered and stepped forward. I and my family turned to see Suzame, standing with his playful cloud tool and smirking at me.
"Suzame? I muttered in a low voice.
"That's right, it's bad when you take someone's phone". He muttered and smirked again.
"Who is he? Do you know him, Ichigo? My father asked but I was still processing the situation and couldn't answer.
"Am a man hunter! Silver rated case. Killer of ghouls, right Ichi? He called out even my nick name given to me by Yumeko and j staggered with fear.
There were other foot steps heard nd two extra man hunters stepped forward, taking to his sides. One of them was using a gun and I remembered him immediately, he was the one who shot me in the head in the early chapter. The second one, colored green eyes, brown hair and serious face was using a sledgehammer.
"shit…" I muttered as I knew I would definitely need to use my Kagune now and my family will discover that I am a ghoul.
