Normal pov
Genya:8 Sanemi:13
It's a nice beautiful day, the sun is high above the sky, not a single clouds to be seen. Birds are chirping, children outside playing, farmers watering their plants, shops owners trying to get some money. So while it nice out Shizu ask her oldest daughter if she could wash the clothes then put the wet clothes on the line to dry. Genya without questioning told her ok an order all her siblings to bring all their dirty clothes, blankets to her. Each of her siblings brought their clothes and blankets to her. Before she could go outside, she also grabs her older brother clothes an added them to the basket. Since her brother Sanemi won't be home in a few days, she have been doing extra work to help her mother.
So while Sanemi is trying to earn more yen, Genya is helping out as best as she could. So with a full basket Genya heads outside and started washing the clothes. While haft way washing the clothes Genya started to feel a little bit dizzy. She grab her head for a second then shook it off. She shrugged it off an continue on with washing these clothes. After an hour or so she is finally done washing the clothes now she have to put the wet clothes on the line to dry off. So she got off her knees an stood up, but all a sudden she all most lost her balance. But again she shook it off an continue on with her work.
Lately she have been feeling off for the past 3 days. But it was serious since she would get small headaches here an there, or her eyes goes blurry just for a second. But nothing really major to tell her mom about since her mother have enough things to worried about. Like her bastard of a father using all the hard erranding on alcohol and gambling. Or making sure that there is food on the table every single day. And protecting all of her children from her husband who is abusive to everyone in the house. So Genya is hoping that whatever is going on with her will all blow over soon.
Genya look up at the clear blue sky an smile to herself " I wish every day can be like this. * look at the clothes line * I wonder when Nii-chan will come back home....I really miss him....I hope he doing ok..* smiling * maybe later I'll ask mom if she can teach me how to make ohagi when he get back. He loves whenever mom makes ohagi he always have this big smile on his face * giggles * I wonder what his reaction will be when I makes his favorite snacks ". Hang each clothes on the line to dry " Still I hope he comes home soon, * blushing * I misses our goodnight kisses that only we knows about. After everyone finally asleep me an Nii-chan wou-would move closer towards eachother an slo-slowly puts our lips together. Sometimes * blushing even more that steam is coming out of her * we would sneak into the bathroom an touch eachother. I would help Nii-chan get his thi-thing that is already hard to release that white liquid. While at the same time he would touch me dow--aaaahhh!!! * shook her head repeatedly * I need to finish hanging up so I could help mom with other stuff "! Genya now more eager to finish started to go even more quicker.
Haft way finish she started to feel dizzy again but this time it much worse. Everything around her is spinning, but she continue on with her work an hope that this dizziness will go away, but before she could even put the blanket over the line. She all a sudden pass out, an her body hit the ground. She stayed like that about 2 hours until her mom finally came to check up on her. Shizu, just finished making dinner call all of her 5 children to dinner. Hiroshi came running with Tekio walking right behind him, while Sumi and Shuya follow right behind as fast a their legs will let them. Shizu smiles at each of her children an watches them each sat on their seat. But she noticed Genya isn't there an actual she haven't seen Genya since this morning. The last time she saw her was 10 hours ago.
So where could she be? So she call out for her " Genya, dear dinner is ready ". She waited an no response so she tries again
" Genya didn't you hear me? I said dinner is ready ". But again nothing, so she look at her 4 children an ask them " Do you 4 know why Genya haven't come yet "? Her 2 youngest shook their head no while Hiroshi said " No, the last time I saw her was when I gave her my clothes ". Teiko nodded at what her twin brother just said
" Yeah, same here ". Shizu now worried decided to go look for her oldest daughter " Don't eat dinner yet until I come back ok ". All 4 said " Ok "! At the same time while their mom goes look for oldest daughter. She check the bathroom to see if she might be washing her hands, but nothing. Then she check the bedroom but she wasn't there either and she ain't even in the main room. So the only place she haven't checked yet is outside.
Shizu now speed walking to the back door an quickly slides the door open " Genya! Are you her-- * eyes goes wide * GENYA "!!! Shizu anicking quickly run to her daughter who is out cold. She bend all the way to the ground an started shaking her " GENYA! WAKE UP DEAR!! PLEASE WAKE UP "!!! She bend down an put her ear right on Genya chest to listen to her small heart beat. After what felt like forever she can can hear Genya heart beating, she sigh in relief that her daughter is still alive but that doesn't mean she still scared. With all her strength she carries Genya in her arms. But before she could get back in Hiroshi and Teiko were standing in front of entrance in shock and fear. When they heard their mom yelling they panicked an headed where she was at.
Teiko shaking an in tears as her mom " Wha-what happened t-to big sis Genya-nii mom "? Hiroshi who couldn't speak stares at his mom an his sister in wide eyes, Shizu walk past her youngest an headed towards to their single bedroom, where she and her kids sleep at. They follow right behind her as she put Genya in her futon. Finally Hiroshi spoke up " Mom....is will she be ok "? Shizu rubbing her daughter mohawk look at her 2 other children " I-.....I * look back down at Genya * I don't know my little ones...hopefully she get back better in the morning, but if she doesn't then....I'll be getting the doctor here ".

Middle of the night
When everyone else have fallen asleep, Genya slowly opens her eyes. But her eyes were so heavy that she could barely kept them open. She was very confused when she finally got her eyes to stay open, she look around to see it dark and everyone is peaceful sleeping. She slowly sat up an put her head down on her hands " What happened? I just remembered that I was doing laundry an all a sudden, I'm in my futon "? Genya again look around an tries to figure out what just happened, but there was nothing that could help.
Then all a sudden she started to have a hard time breathing. It was like all the air have been suck out of her. She put her hand on her chest an tries to breathe, she got some small gasp of air in her but it wasn't enough. Now terrified she asks herself ( What is going on with m-- ) Before she could even finish talking to herself, she heard her mother voice " Genya? What the matt-- GENYA "!!! Now everyone is awake an confused and scared turn to look at their mother who is crawling towards her daughter. She put her hand behind Genya back an pull her towards her chest then started rocking her back an forth " Slowly count to 5 Genya, it might help you with breathing ". She did as she was told but it only help a little bit then Shizu put her hand on her daughter forehead, and she realized that Genya was burning up. Her eyes goes wide an said " Your burning up "!!
Genya now getting dizzy look at her mother in confusion an terrified then ask her " What's happe-happening.....to me...mom "? Shizu now freaking hold her daughter, trying not to cry in front of her kids said " Don't worr-worried Genya ever-everything will * gulp * be ok. I promise, mommy will make you feel better * closed her eyes very tightly * I promise ".
-----
Morning
"..........I'm sorry madam * stepping away from Genya * but I don't know what is wrong with your daughter ". An older guy probably in his late sixties stop looking over Genya. Shizu shock look at the doctor " What do you mean, you don't know? You're a doctor you should know what is wrong with her "! The doctor just sighs an started to put his equipment away in his bag " Like I said, I'm sorry. I have never seen this before. What she just described to me I have never heard before, but if it makes you feel better I can give you some herbs that are used for colds ". He grab a small glass bottle out of his bag an handed it to Shizu " And maybe it is just a common small cold. But I'll be back in 5 days to check up on her. * looking around * You should move her in another room so your other children and you won't get sick too ".
Shizu holding the herbs very tightly look worried " But theire is no other space ". The doctor just look at her an said in a calm voice " You have a shed right ". Shizu slowly nodded " Then used that. I have somewhere else to be right now ". The doctor started to walk away from Shizu who started to panic an tries to go after him " Pl-please wait!! There have to be a better situation her--" He slide the front door close in her face " Here...." Shizu, now staring at the door that the doctor left through fell to her knees an slowly started to sob to herself. Her 4 children who were standing outside of the closed bedroom walked towards their mother an hug her very tightly. They were trying to help her but they too started to cry in eachother arms.
-----
4 days have past
Someone walking towards the Shinazugawa households have suddenly stop in front of the house " Finally * sigh in relief * I'm back home. * let go of the cart an started stretching * mmm * sigh again then smile to himself * I everyone is doing ok. * chuckle * I can't wait to see everyone again. Especially my cute little sister Genya ". Sanemi slowly let go of the handle of the cart then walk over the handle. Then he turn around to grab a huge watermelon that a friendly nice old farmer gave to him after working on his field. An in his pocket is some sweet candies that some old couples gave him after finishing fixing their roof. He put the watermelon under his arm an started to walk towards the door when he slide the door open it was very quiet. But he shrug it off thinking that his siblings are playing hide an seek
" I'm back ". He said as he slide the door closed, he waited for a second but no answer . Now confused, he tries again because usually his siblings would come an greet him with so much excitement and Shizu would stop doing whatever chores she was doing, and come an greet him for a second. " I'm back home!.......mom!? Genya!? Teiko, Hiroshi!? Sumi, Shuya!? Hello I'm back home "!? But nothing " Maybe...they are out shopping ". He told himself as he walk towards the kitchen an put the watermelon down on the counter. When he put the watermelon down he heared small foots steps coming from the hallway. He smile then turn around to face his siblings to see them peeking out of the hallway with a worried/afraid expressionon their faces. Sanemi now getting a little bit worried but hides it behind his smile an said in a cheerful tone " Hiroshi, Teiko, Sumi, and Shuya why are you guys way over there? * walk toward them * And where is mom and Genya? * raised his eyebrow * Also what the matter? * eyes suddenly go wide * Is he here?! If so don't worry I'll this righ--huh"?
All a sudden his youngest siblings ran towards him and started crying into him. Now worried, he pulls his siblings into his arms " Guys what the matter, please tell me right now "? None of his siblings answer him as they were still crying. After a few seconds he decided he was going to go look for Shizu and Genya to get some answer until he heard one of them stutter something. " Som-something * hiccup * i-is wrong......* hiccup * with big si-sis Genya-nii * hiccup *. She is ou-outside in th-the she-* hiccup * shed. Mom i-is with her right no-now * hiccup *". After listening to who he think was Teiko but he couldn't tell since his mind went blank. ( Something...wrong....wit..h... Genya...? ) Before realizing it Sanemi is now outside standing a few feets away from his mother an a strange old man. "*crying * Please! There have to be another way to save her! She getting worse by each day an those herbs you gave her aren't working!! * fell to her knees * Please there must be another way to save her..please...."
The doctor just look at her with pity eyes before sighing in annoyance " Look madam there is nothing else I could do for her. If the herbs aren't helping her then she must have something else that I have never heard or seen before. So the only final option I could say to you is just pray for her. Maybe praying will help her get better but, at the rate she going she might not have much to live for. An beside madam you have 4 other children to worried about. So it ain't the end of the worl----" Finally having enough of this so called doctor, Sanemi finally let his present known " Mom! What is going on here, and what bullshit is this guy talking about! And where is Genya "!? Shizu now realizing that her oldest is here, she turn to look at him
" San-Sanemi...." She started to cry even harder and Sanemi ran towards his mother to pull her into his arms. The old doctor decided to take this chance to get away from this family that he thought was weird.
When the old doctor left Sanemi pull away from his mom an ask her a serious question " Mom * staring into her eyes * what's going on? Please tell me what's going on and what is happening to Genya"? Before Shizu could even answer a sudden loud coughing coming from the inside of the shed. Then they heard gasping, Sanemi slowly stood up an started to walk towards the shed. But before his hand could even touch the door Shizu quickly grab his arm " NO SANEMI!! YOU CAN'T GO IN THEIR "!! Sanemi stop moving an stares at the closed door then ask in a shaky voice "...Mo-mom * gulp * wh-what is..going on "? He slowly turn to look at her with a worried look on his face. Shizu grip on Sanemi gotten tighter as her tears are still coming out and told him in a whisper told him " Genya....is in there..the doctor ca-can't figure out what is wrong with her. So the doctor suggested that it is best for her to stay in there inst--"
Sanemi quickly cut her off an yell at her out of anger " WHAT DO YOU MEAN IT'S BEST FOR HER TO STAY IN THERE!!! SHE SHOULD BE INSIDE WITH US INSTEAD BEING OUT HERE WHERE SHE WILL BE LONELY AND COLD!!! THAT DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW SHI---" Shizu pull her son into her arms and hold him very tightly, an started to apologize over an over until she couldn't uses her voice anymore.

Middle of the night
Everyone has fallen asleep but there is one person who couldn't fall asleep and that would be Sanemi. He just got home and just found out that his little sister has been sick these past few days, and his mom won't allowed for him to go see her. So he decided to make a plan, he would wait for everyone to be asleep an sneak out the room to head outside, where the one person he love the most is at. So when he sees that everyone is finally knock out cold he slowly pull his blanket away from his body, an slowly got up and sneak out the room. He stayed very quiet until he got outside then he run towards the shed. When he finally in front of the door he quietly knocks on the door an quietly whisper through the door " Hey Genya, it's me Sanemi. Are you still awake"?
He stayed very quiet and listen very closely for any sign of life in there. He waited out there for 2 minutes until he hear a soft whisper said " Nii-chan...." When he heard Genya voice he has already open the door and is now standing outside of the open shed. He stares in shock at what he is seeing " Gen-Genya?...is that yo-you "? Sanemi slowly walks inside an headed towards Genya an sat right next to her. Genya breathing hard told her brother " Yo-you shou-* gasp *-ldn't be in he-re * gasp * nii...chan ". Sanemi not listening gently touches her hair slide to her cheek then to her chaps lips. He so badly wanted to cry but he won't cry in front of sister since he is the older brother so, he has to act strong in front of everyone. But Genya could tell that Sanemi is about to break down, so she slowly lifted her hand up which Sanemi took an pull her hand to his lips.
" Genya * clenching his teeth * I promise I'll find the best herbs to heal you even if I have to steal, or beg on my knees to just get that herbs. So please don't give up, that's an order from your big brother got it! Because we promised eachother that when we get older we will get married an stay together forever! So you can't leave me alone in this could world of ours got it "!
Genya who could barely nodded her head started to blush bright red after what her brother just told her. So she softly told him " O..k Nii-chan..I'll try ". Genya tries to move her head away out of embarrassment but Sanemi stop her by gentle grabbing her chin an gently face her toward where he a few inches away from her lips. Genya who eyes went wide in shock started to get scared " Wait nii-chan! Yo-you shouldn't be this clos---" Sanemi cut her off by kissing her an sliding his tongue inside since he been waiting all this time, and he just doesn't care one bit if her sickness get passes onto him.
He want to continue but he could tell Genya is having a difficult time breathing even if it just a kiss. He slowly pull out an sees their saliva is still connected to their lips. Then he look at Genya who is in a daze and panting heavily since she already was having a hard time gasp air inside of her. When she finally snap out of her daze she became even more brighter red then tries to yell at her brother " nii-chan "! Which was a barely a whisper but Sanemi doesn't cares since he finally got what he wanted even though it wasn't the best option to do. Then before Genya could even realize Sanemi slides into her futon an pull her into his chest. Genya tries again to stop him but Sanemi stop her by telling her " Sleep ". An Genya knows not to question him even though she should stop him before she passes this strange illness to her brother. An before she knows it she have quickly fallen asleep in her brother's warm arms.
When Sanemi finally woke up he was back inside the house and he was the only one inside the bedroom, until he saw his mom standing there outside of the room staring right at him with a disappointed look on her face. Sanemi knew right away he was in trouble, but he doesn't care one bit because he was going to do it again.

1 year later
Genya: 9 Sanemi: 14
May 14
Today would be like any other day except it quiet not a bad quiet but a interesting sort of quiet. Because walking down a dirt road is a tall man wearing a interesting outfit that none of them have seen before. Even his pale blonde hair is interesting they only seen people with black hair but never blonde. But I think what caught everyone attention is his eyes. Usually people have black eyes, brown eye, green eyes, hazel eyes and even more lucky blue eye. But this guy have rainbows in his eyes, like heaven has decided he is the one be gods of the beauty. Some of the woman's tries to approach him but he wouldn't stop for them, because he on a mission. But that doesn't mean they will stop following him wherever he is heading to.
This strange gentlemen finally stop walking in front of a house, but it not any house it is the Shinazugawa household. He walk up to the house an knock on the door and waited until the owner of the house answer the door. Everyone who lives here started gossiping with some being shock, or talk in a envy tone, or curious why this gentlemen want from the Shinazugawa. It didn't take long for Shizu to slide the door open. When she take a look who was here she looked at the strange new comer in confusion. The strange new comer smile at her an give her a short bow " Good even madam, I'm sorry if I'm intruding. * stop bowing an stares into her soul * But I some rumors about your daughter having a strange illness, and I hope you wouldn't mind if I take a look ".
Shizu feeling uncomfortable by everyone staring right at, but she feels the most uncomfortable by his emotionless stared. Shizu slowly slide the door closed that only her head can be seen peeking out "I'm sorry for wasting your time, but we have enough of doctors giving us bad news. And we don't have enough money to give you since we are on a really low budget right now ". Before she could fully slide thr door close this strange man stop her by pulling his foot between the door. Then he titled his head to the side so Shizu can see him smiling at her " Don't worried about money madam, I'm doing this all free. And beside * looking very serious while smiling * I'm pretty sure, I know what is wrong with your daughter madam. So please trust me before it to late ". Shizu still feeling uncomfortable and uneasy slowly slide the door open for him to come inside. But before he could fully step inside Shizu block him with her small frame an look at him with what everyone call a mother death glare.
" You better not make me regret this sir, because we're * trying not to cry but don't have any more tears to cry anymore * so done with you doctors just giving up on her. Got it ". The strange man just smile at her and stated something to her so she would trust him " Please don't worried madam, because unlike those unprofessional doctors. I at least know what I'm doing so don't worry your daughter is in good hands. And by the let me introduce myself * hold his hand out * Hashibira Doma but you can just called me Doma madam ". Doma watch Shizu slowly shaky hand shook his " Shinazugawa Shizu just Shizu is fine ". Doma lifted her hand to so he could take a closer look " Shizu have you been sleeping * smiling * well? Because you look very pale ".
Shizu pull her hand away and started to walk away from Doma but he followed right behind towards the back door. Doma raised his eyebrow but he still have that smile on his face " Why are we going outside "? When Doma headed and Shizu slide the door behind him then started to head toward the shed " Because the first doctor this would be safe for everyone ". Doma just hum in response. When they stood in front of the shed, Doma have another question for Shizu " May I ask why there a lock on the shed and some barrier "? Shizu sighs to herself before answering his question " My oldest son have been sneaking in here when we're all asleep. When he found out that Genya is now sleeping in here, he wasn't exactly happy about it. So every single night he would sneak inside and sleep with her. So I set a lock and some barrier so he wouldn't get inside, but now he would sleep outside against the door. I'm just glad he ain't here right now ".
Doma raised his eyebrow again " What do you mean "? After moving the barrier an now unlocking " We needed money right now after my husba-..* tight her lips *...we needed money real badly so after begging my oldest he finally decided to do some odds jobs. And if he was here right now I wouldn't have agreed so easily because the last doctor who came was bad injured after telling us that we should just give up. So hopefully * glance at him * the gods finally given us a break after a long torture". Once Shizu slide the shed door open Doma didn't wait and headed towards where Genya is laying at. Doma sat on his knees and started his check up on Genya checking her eyes, nose, mouth, and ears. Doma have a feeling he knows what's wrong with Genya since her skin is slowly turn gray but he needs to make sure.
Doma looked at Shizu an ask her " You said Genya earlier right? Is this Genya "? Doma pointed at Genya to make sure that is his patient name and Shizu nodded yes to Doma. After being resured Doma turn to look down at Genya who was having a difficult time breathing. " Genya I'm going to sit you upward so I could listen to your lungs and heart ok. So it might hurt a little bit sitting upward but it won't take long k ". Not even checking if Genya heard him, he order Shizu to sit her upward so he could listen to her heart and lungs. After listening to her lungs and heart he knew right away what is wrong with Genya.
What felt like forever for Shizu, Doma stop checking on Genya an turn to look at Shizu with that smile on his face. " Slowly lay her down and followed me outside ". Shizu did as she was told an followed him outside. Once outside Doma turn to look at Shizu who was very tense and straight forward told her " She needs to come with me so I could make her feel better ". Shizu whole entire body stop working even her brain stop working. Shizu stares at Doma an ask " Re-repeat....that..again "? Her eyes started to shake as he still smile but a gentle kind of smile an continue on talking " This illness will be difficult to heal but it ain't possible. I'm just surprised that she lasted this long, usually the person would died in just 4 days an that for adults. While elderly and young children dies just 1 or 2 days. So your daughter body most be really strong enough to fight this illness. But now she doesn't have to suffer anymore more, because I have the medicine to help her. But it'll take about 3 or 2 weeks just for herself to feel normal again ".
After hearing all of that Shizu falls to her knees an let out the loudest cry that she herself never knew she have in her. She most have been holding holding everything inside of her until finally she couldn't hold it back anymore. Doma turn to the house an see 5 children peeking through the sliding door. He look at each one until his eyes landed on the 4 months old, he release a low whistle and secretly said to himself ( Her and her husband must really love eachother........but maybe not after a small information that I got before she caught herself. But it ain't my problem to help with since I have other things to worried about. ) Doma turn back an look down at Shizu who was still crying but he most be on his way before it become night time. So he clear his throat to get her attention which made her look up with red puffy eyes. After getting her attention Doma squat down an told her " I'm sorry for ruining this moment, but me and Genya really need leave right now. If I stay here any longer I would be using up precious daylight just by standing here. So I'll be our leave right now ".
Doma turn around an started to head back inside the shed to lift Genya up, but before he could even touch Genya, Shizu stop him in his tracks. " Wait! Can we come with to--" Doma quickly cut her off an stood back up an told her in a serious cold ass tone " I'm sorry but you can't come with me. Where I'm going is far away from here and this place is very hidden. I would be dangering my patients just bringing you guys there. Especially for my master since he already ill an as his doctor I don't want to make it worse, with unknown people suddenly stepping into his land. So I'll give 2 choices either allow me take Genya or allow her suffer a slowly death. I don't know how much longer her body will last, so if I were you, I would choose the first option so your daughter could live a healthy life ". Shizu stares blankly at Doma for awhile which made Doma stood up an decided that she most have choose the second option.
But before he could even walk away Shizu grab the hem of his coat an ask " Can we send her letters at least "? Doma turn his head an look down at her and sees tears sliding down her face he couldn't tell those were fresh tears or not. " I have to ask my master first, but if he does say yes keep an eye out for a crow. But right now we have to leave so please says your goodbyes, but * clap his hands together * don't worry you guy will see each other properly in 3, or 2 weeks if everything goes as planned ". After everyone says their goodbyes they watches them leave until they can't see Doma anymore. Shizu really wanted to go with but knows it's for the best to see Genya be healthy again.
After 2 days have passed Sanemi finally came home. And when he just found out what just happened to Genya he wasn't happy for one bit and I mean it. He started pacing around and questioning his mother parenting. Which he would never do because he love his mom and trusts her with all his being, but when it comes to Genya then that's another story. Some of the questions involve " Why did you trust this strange guy when you don't know anything about him! He could be lieing to you "! And " Why couldn't he just have done everything here! It's just to suspicious mom!! You just allowed him to take Genya far away from who nowhere!! And we can't visit or go with just, because his so called
' master ' might get even more sick "!!!
Shizu stares in shock and maybe a little bit scared at her son, because she have never seen him act like this before. But as his mother she must calmed down her son and tell him everything will be find. But Sanemi didn't listen to her for one bit because all he can think about is Genya safety.
----------
5 days later
Genya now feeling a tiny incy bit better, but still not in the best condition is able to finally take in deep breath. Also Genya now can open her eyes a little bit more, so out of boredom she decided to look around. The room is....white nothing interesting there so she decided to look else where that ain't the wall or ceiling color. She sees some pictures hanging, but she can't fully tell what's on then since her eyes are still on the blurry side, but that doesn't stop her from looking around some more. There seem to something all over the walls, but she can't tell only that it's...everywhere. There seem to be only one window in this room but she can't tell if the curtains are open or not because it to bright out to tell... probably there open the more she thinks about it. Then she glance to her right to look down to see dark wooden floors.
So basically a boring quiet room....well sometimes quiet if there weren't random running down the hallway in the morning and even an sometimes night with scary laughter follow with it. But all an all it a quiet room, you would have thought by now she have gotten used to this. But she really ain't since she so used to having her family either talking to her, or hearing her siblings laughter while they tries to play in the backyard while their, sister is in the shed fighting for life. So basically she done staying here an is ready to go home, but Doma order her that she have to get better before even thinking about going home. She just glares at him while he quietly hum some tones while he check up on her.
So deciding that she have enough looking around she decided to take a nap, for awhile until Doma come an check up on her. But before she could even closed her eyes Doma came inside with a serious look on his face. But Genya with blurry eyes can't see that he being serious until she, heard his ice cold voice that made her keeps her eyes fully on him. " Genya there something I need to tell you. An it best you hears it now then later ". Genya thinking that maybe this strange illness that Doma haven't told her what it is, might be getting worse. " Does it......* gripping the blanket very tightly * have to with my illness? Is it progressing wor--"
Doma cut her before she could even finish " No, everything is going as planned Genya. You are actually getting better by each days, but this is about something else. An this ain't the greatest news you want to hear because it very gruesome ". After hearing that Genya stayed very quiet which Doma took to continue. He look down at Genya an in a serious tone told her " Last night you're family been murdered ". Genya mind stop working and just stares at Doma figure but there were no life in those which used to be beautiful purple eyes, but after getting sick her eyes lost those shine but now her eyes are totally dead now. Doma watches while Genya is trying to process everything after 7 minutes of quietness Genya finally spoke " Wa-was it my..... father...who did it "?
Genya clenches her fist out of anger because all those gambling and debts that he put them through. And finally have enough an decided to ends it with his own hands, but what Doma is going telling to tell her is something she would never at least expected to happened. " No much worst then that actually ". Genya confused thought ( What could be worse then that!? )
Doma watching very carefully since he secretly loves when he tell people's about this an watches each ones reaction, like it's the most interesting thing he have ever seen. Secretly smiling " The thing that murder your whole entire family was a demon. Middle of the night a demon came inside an started eating each of your family one by one. An we can tell that they were still alive when this demon started eating them. So when one of our low rates finally find them they were to late to save them. But luckily the demon didn't get far because ones they found ' it ', apparently ' it ' didn't listen to their master warning, and ' it ' was caught in the sun light slowly burning to death, before one of our slayer finally end it ".
After finishing telling her what just happened Doma waited for her reaction an waited an waited and.....waited. After a few minutes Doma slowly stop smiling an looked very confused, because usually when he tell someone about this they would either scream in denial, yell at him or the helpers or both of them, crying none stop, sometimes laugh like a maniac, or past out on the spot. But what he had never seen before is her having those same empty emotions in her eyes. Like she's in another world but Doma knows she heard him because right now her knuckles are fully white. He wouldn't be surprised when he check those hands that they would be bloody. But this reaction is even eerie for him to had to admit. So he decided to knock her out of it and what a best way to do it by annoying her.
" Helllooo~ anyone home? Helllooo~ * knock on her head * knock knock~ ". After annoying her for a straight minute, he is finally getting somewhere an sees some tears rolling down her face then she release a blood curling scream. He smile to himself an said ( Ah~ there the reaction that I was expecting. ) He decided to take his leave an waited an hour or 2 for her to calmed down.
When he finally came back Genya was facing away from him, but he can tell that she is still awake just by the way she is breathing. After getting a little bit closer Genya with a sore throat ask him " Are they really all dead....." Doma now standing over said " Yes, about 5 body parts that weren't eating where pieced somewhat together. But it was obvious that they were children's under 6----" Genya quickly stood up an turn to face Doma with this hopeful look on her face " If you only found 5 * voice cracking * maybe there a chance that mom and nii-chan is still al---" Doma cut her off before she can even finish talking " Most likely not Genya, because we haven't found any sign of there body, and that most likely mean the demon have already absorbed them or another demon caught them. Because once they smell blood they will followed that scents until they found them an finish them off. So don't get your hopes to high got it ".
Doma watches that hopefull face slowly disappeared and started to cry again, but there were no more tears, to tears about anymore. After watching for awhile Doma sighs to himself and patted her head very gently an told her " If you want, you can stay here if you want. I can teach you everything that I know from medical to sword fights. An you won't be alone because, there are three others children here an 2 are the same age as you. So you won't be alone for ever but if you do stay here it won't be easy, because you would at death door at any time when ever you encounter any demon. So when you do decides an do this job, none of us will go easy on you when you do start your training. So choose wisely Genya because either road you take will be dangerous, but at least you would be protected if you do sta----" Before Doma could even finish talking they heard a huge crash outside in the hallway somewhere.
Doma sweat drop an stood up with a smile on his face " Oh dear.....I better go an check to make sure my son didn't break anything, while I was away. * glance at Genya who still haven't respond yet * Just think about it Genya, because you would be staying with us 2 or 3 weeks. So you have enough time to think about it. * look at outside * Dinner will be ready in about 2 or 3 hour, so * look at her * get some rest k". After that, Doma left Genya alone with her thoughts. An she had already decided when Doma gave her that option. She will kill all those demons so no other family have to go through what she have to go through.
( Nii-chan, mom, Hiroshi, Teiko, Sumi, Shuya, and baby Koto. I will make sure your death won't be in vain. I promise. )
