CHAPTER 4 THE DARK HISTORY OF GIYU AND GO HOME

The story this time explains more about the story of Giyu life when he was a child even before he went to the big island because he was still traumatized by something. The hill referred to many times in the previous chapter is the hill which is near the south of the Yae mountain, also any additions I will give later- Zarias.

February 13, 1914, 8 p.m.

Shinobu headed to the hill area that was always destined for the two of them.

Old house giyu.

The house is just an ordinary house owned by a family in Japan, where the house is quite large surrounded by large trees.

Picture

Shinobu saw around the house in disarray and even many parts of the house were almost destroyed like a terrible fire.

So this is the house..giyu as a child said Shinobu saw the whole area in front of the house.

Shinobu who was in front of the house saw the footprints, he moved in slowly but the atmosphere was very dark from outside but when he went inside, he saw a bonfire that was burning in the middle of the living room. Shinobu who saw the bonfire was suddenly shocked when he was greeted by the voice of a giyu who was sitting in the corner of the living room while drinking a lot of wine because there were many bottles of wine or sake by his side. Giyu faces just put on a dark face.

Tomioka..mm..Giyu? said Shinobu.

Why are you here? said the still drunk giyu.

I'm here just to ask you to come home, reply Shinobu.

Ohh..you are very good, you are always good with someone who does not want to talk to anyone said giyu.

You're drunk giyu, do you want me to be your friend? kata Shinobu.

You are still beautiful when you put on a worried face..said Giyu who started lying down because he wanted to.

Shinobu sat next to the giyu, especially above his head.

Shinobu just silently looked at Giyu who was still drunk.

Do you want this sake? said the giyu who handed the bottle of wine to the Shinobu.

Not replying to the Shinobu who took the bottle and placed it next to it.

So this is your house, this house is beautifully said Shinobu.

I don't want to talk about this if you don't drink giyu once.

Shinobu who heard it only looked at the bottle of wine, so he drank only once.

Shinobu felt the alcohol was strong but he was sure he wouldn't get drunk.

Giyu was silent.

Why do you want to come here? said Shinobu.

I just want to come here to see this house alone said giyu.

What happened? said Shinobu.

Tch..giyu said in an angry tone.

Forgive me said Shinobu.

Not that I just felt sad and useless for so long, I was just a family burden, it all started 3 days before winter ended then we didn't eat for almost 2 months, we only ate wild plants in the forest and grass we found, we were then only 6 years old, we had to hunt deer or whatever we could afford but the deer was too fast even we had nothing to use for hunting like spears or stones there was none at that time I just saw my mother crying and we just sitting at the dining table with a drink from the melted ice also the food there is only water mixed with a lot of leaves when that snowstorm is very strong. We who were children could not afford to go to the nearby town and the mother could not move very much because her legs hurt, said the giyu who looked at the moon behind the leaking roof of the house.

Shinobu is just him.

Then that night when we slept and woke up the next day.

Where my brother Ryu disappeared from the bed, I just talked to the mother but she said she was going to our aunt's house only that I believe only because I was still a naive child said giyu.

That day too, I got a chance to see a rabbit but when I tried to get close. The rabbit fled and there was no result of the Giyu hunt.

That night we slept, I was able to wake up but I was stunned to see my other sister being pulled by mom towards the room, I didn't want to get up first when I heard the sound of an ax. I started to feel something was wrong then I heard the sound of the door opening and saw my mother covered in blood and moving to the toilet and coming home clean. I just went back to sleep, the next day, I saw my mom wanted to go outside to arrange something also she brought a rather big bag and walked slowly from home and that was my chance to go straight into my mother's room said giyu.

Do you see Shinobu response that starts to feel something is wrong?

I went into the room, at first, it was okay but when I saw there was a space I did not know. When I entered, I was shocked to see some parts of my brother's body hanging like meat that was being stored, said giyu.

Shinobu's face continued to stiffen instantly.

Giyu..said Shinobu.

That's when my mom came home and saw me in the room and kept trying to chase me but I was still able to run around the room even her legs weren't strong. Then I saw there was a spear with my brother's head stuck to be peeled. I continued to take the spear and was ready to fight also at the same time my mother continued to want to attack me with the ax she was carrying, I continued to stab my mother's chest and she collapsed but she was still alive said giyu who imagined the tragedy.

She said, Giyu.., forgive me if you have to do this, even if you go through this, please giyu continue your life no matter what, I know you are very hungry so please eat, a mother said giyu.

I ate her alive but she still talked, eat mother giyu continue your life, while I ate mother who was still alive, she continued to talk eat mother many times also she said continue life giyu mother still love you said giyu who shed tears.

Shinobu let out a tear.

I don't know why my mom did this if she had a spear but why? said giyu.

Then I stayed alone in the house until I met my adoptive father a year later said giyu.

Forgive me giyu, if I made you tell that story said Shinobu.

Why is all this happening Shinobu, if you think oni is cruel to eat humans what's the difference giyu said.

No !! Please don't say that giyu, I'm sorry if all this time I've always been as cold as possible because I don't know how to talk to you, said Shinobu.

Giyu was shocked.

Why? said giyu.

I'm not sure since we met, I've always wanted to chat with you, but you always stay away from us all said Shinobu.

I don't want to socialize with you all, honestly specifically for you said giyu.

Why ? said Shinobu.

I feel like you don't like me just replying to giyu who is now beginning to realize the effects of his drunkenness.

No..I like you but I don't know if I want to talk, said Shinobu.

So we just responded to the giyu who started to wake up making the Shinobu shocked.

If we can stay together, we will be able to eat,

If with all my sisters, I would be happy,

Stay strong to face this season until the end,

When we succeed, we can eat happily,

Giyu sang as he walked out to return to the headquarters of the oni hunter organization.

Giyu ?! said Shinobu.

Giyu was still staggering, he almost fell, but Shinobu who knew giyu couldn't walk home continued to support giyu to walk to the headquarters. Giyu was still singing the same song with a sad face.

Let's sing with Shinobu, I'm tired of the word giyu who is still a bit drunk.

They both sang together and walked back to headquarters.

Time skip.

February 13 to February 28, where Shinobu and giyu are still carrying out their missions but now they often move to carry out missions together. Also, Giyu mental state starts to recover because Shinobu is often with him causing giyu to feel happier and have someone who cares about him. Also the next day they will both return to the big island again because the situation on the island of Okinawa is starting to improve also the number of onis is less and can be faced by oni hunters also Mirai is now appointed as the leader of the Okinawa island headquarters at the request of Alia also the insistence of Ana who started sending letters starting birds kasugai.

February 29, 1914, 10 p.m.

Port of Okinawa.

Shinobu and giyu were waiting for their ship to start arriving, shinobu looked at giyu standing next to him.

Giyu what are you fine, you're a bit different said Shinobu.

What is it ? said giyu.

I see you, calmer than ever. Is there something too? reply shinobu.

No ... I just feel a little happy, said Giyu.

What? reply Shinobu.

I don't know how to reply giyu.

You remain silent too ye giyu reply Shinobu who laughed a little.

You stick with your fake smile Shinobu reply giyu.

After a blank chat, the two boarded their ship and headed to the big island again.
