Chapter 2 : to a new school

The man observe me. He soon found my bleeding arm. He com closer and kneel down to my level. I came to my self at the same time he do that.

"kid, let me see your hand. "

I unconsciously show my wounded arm to him. He grab my hand gently, and touch my wound. I was too dazed too notice the pain. Then his hand glow green. My wound close visible with my ***** eyes. But it's not totally cured yet.

"I'm sorry, I'm not good at healing," the man says as he take out his handkerchief. Next he wrap my arm with it. Because my body is small, the handkerchief is enough to cover it.

"kid, where's your mother or father? " the man ask patting my head.

"they are out. I will be alone tonight. " i answer, clenching his sleeve, determined to not let the man go.

The man was astonished that they could leave a boy as young as this alone. "where is your house? I'll take you home. "

I nod, "beika street. Onii-san what's your name? "

The man smile and carry me, he start walking to my house, " Izanagi Yota. "

My eyes shone brightly, "Yota niisan! "

Izanagi Yota eyes soften looking at me, "what's your name?"

"kudo yoshio! "

Izanagi nod.

"Yota niisan, I haven't eaten yet. If you also belum makan, let's eat together. " I plead, looking at Yota with puppy eyes. 'I must make him stay, then I'll ask him to teach me. The way he swing his sword is cool.'

"alright," He then search for a nearby place to eat. Izanagi Yota thought, ' I should take care of this boy first.'

>....

We arrive inside of my house after we eat dinner. Fortunately, the food in my bag can be eaten tomorrow, so I can just eat it later. Yota put me down. Afterwards, I immediately grab his sleeves. He look at me questioningly, to ask what I want.

"Yota niisan I'm sacred. Otosan and kasan not home. Stay with me. "

Yota eyes turn wide, surprised at my proposal. When he thinks more about it, it's not unexpected. He sees me grabbing his sleeve not letting go. Yota sigh, he then take out his phone and text his colleague to take care of his shift tonight.

Yota pick me up again, "where's your bathroom? Let's take a bath and sleep "

"ok"

We go to my room. I put down my bag and pick my clothes. Yota hang his uniform jacket. I know the jacket is a uniform because it has a badge. The badge look like a scythe.

"let's go"

"un"

Yota carry me again to the bathroom. He also take a bath and wash me. After the bath he wear a bath robe, because he doesn't have a change of clothes. Yota put me on my bed. Next, He put his clothes in the washing machine along with his jacket, so he can use it tomorrow.

"Yota niisan," I Call him.

"yes? " Yota cover me with blanket and wait for me to sleep.

"take me as your apprentice, " I say rubbing my eyes.

Yota was amazed by yoshio remark. He thinks to himself, 'I also want a cute apprentice like you, but it's too dangerous. It's not like I won't protect you, but I can't just stay beside you forever. If I can I would spoil you to death. You probably just want to learn to use sword. You don't know what my work is. ' Yota let out a sigh.

"gomen shio-kun. There are test you need to past to be my apprentice. "

"what test? " I ask not giving up.

"you need to be able to have a spiritual core. Not every one has it. " yota answer trying to make me give up as softly as possible. Yota continue, " spiritual energy is what we use to strengthen our body. We can move faster and our attack would be stronger. If you don't have spiritual core, you can't do it. " Yota speak to himself after he finish saying that. `we do need spiritual core, and it can grow. We also have tools that helps us figth demon but that's for later. `

"how do I know that i spiritual core? " I ask curious.

Yota answer as a matter of factly, "if you can see ghost, than you have it. "

"OK. I have it, so let me be your apprentice. "

"pardon? " Yota ask again. Afraid that he misheard it.

"I have the spiritual core."

Izanagi Yota immediately sit up. Astonishment shown in his face. He then thinks hard, 'not only he is cute, but he has potential. But it is still dangerous. Let's wait a few years. If he still want it, then I'll take him in. I also make sure to protect him. '

Yota look back at the sleepy yoshio. He sigh again. Yota thinks that he already sigh many times today. "let's talk about it with your parents. Now sleep. "

"un" yoshio fall asleep

...

The next morning, Yota already wake up and make breakfast for the two of them. I walk toward Yota while rubbing my eyes.

"Yota niisan"

Yota is wearing the same clothes he wear yesterday, but he doesn't wear his jacket. He put his jacket by the front door, so it's easier to put it on when he goes out.

" ohayo yoshio. Eat some food. "

"un. " after I sat down, I start eating with Yota.

"when will your parents be home? "

"I don't know. "

....

"shio chan! Okasan is back! " yukiko call out while carrying shinichi.

"looks like we have a guest. " yusaku say after seeing a pair of shoes and a jacket.

They walk to the living room. On the way, they meet Yota.

"Hello, you must be yoshio parents. " Yota state welcoming them.

Yusaku and yukiko look at each other, worried if something happen to yoshio.

Yusaku ask Yota, " yes. Kudo yusaku. This is my wife yukiko. You are?"

Yota explain, "my name is Izanagi Yota. You could say I am a patrol police. "

Yukiko ask suspiciously at him, "so what are you doing in our house? "

"well, let's sit and talk. It's not a good manner to let the guests stand in the hall. " yusaku invite them.

"yes, that would be good. " Yota smile

They walk to the living room and sit down on the sofa. They saw yoshio sleeping in the sofa covered in blanket.

"let's get to the point. Why are you here? " yusaku cross his leg.

"right. Yesterday while I'm on patrol, I found yoshio alone in the street. So I take it to myself to take care of him. " yota explain. He then think to himself, ' there's no way to say that a demon attacked your son. It won't be believable.'

"soka, arigatou for taking care of yoshio. " yukiko brightly smile.

"i guess you have something to say. If not you would have already go back to work. " yusaku deduce.

"yes. what do you think about letting yoshio attend this academy?" Yota give them a browser on the table.

`The browser only contains what the public knows. However, the students there know why they enroll there. Either just to have ability to protect themselves, have the same kind of friends, or joining the shinigami agency. Agency that I currently work for.` Yota thought.

Yukiko and yusaku frown after reading the browser.

Yukiko was the first to ask, "this is a military school deso. Soreni it says only invited student can attend. Doste yoshio? "

"that is because I see his talent. Learning martial arts will do good for him. And this academy have the usual education system and because yoshio is still young, the training won't be too hard. Moreover, after they graduate from high school they aren't required to join the government. So, you could let yoshio attend normal university after he graduates. "Yota explain. This is also the reason why Yota easily accepted yoshio despite it might be a child impulses.

Yusaku thought, `it might be OK. It's just a normal school with martial arts training. It will do yoshio good to learn some martial arts.` yusaku turn toward yukiko. " I'm okay with that. yukiko what do you think? "

After hearing that, ask Yota, "this academy use dorm right? That means we won't be seeing him anymore? "

Yota : "that won't be a problem. The dorm is for students that doesn't have a place to stay. I could pick yoshio up everyday to the school."

Yukiko eyes turn bright, " I have no problem then. Demo what does yoshio think of it? "

Yota : "I already ask yoshio, and he doesn't mind. "

Yusaku nod his head, "OK then when will he starts? "

Yota : "yoshio can attend when he starts his elementary school. Any other questions? "

Yusaku ask again, "yes, where is this school? "

Yota shakes his head, " for safety reason we're not allowed to disclose it's location. "

Yukiko and yusaku have surprise expression, not expecting it.

Yota stand up planning to leave, "if there isn't anything else, I will take my leave. "

"wait! " yukiko called Yota. Yota halt his footstep, waiting for yukiko to finish her word. Yukiko immediately take out her phone.

"your phone number please. " yukiko give her phone to Yota.

Yota was enlightened when he sees it, " ah, yes. " yusaku also give his phone number to Yota.

After that Yota leaves taking his jacket with him.
