Chapter 8- It ain't his fault

Yuki looks confused at this but doesn't let it bother him as his food just arrives then. "Okay then let's dig in." he says before smiling and enjoying his food. While eating his food suddenly the thing that Nozomi told him comes to his mind," Oh yes, Nozomi did say something but what was it?" he looks confused but the brushed it off with a loud sigh, He quickly eats his food and thanks Aki before leaving and returning to his room. Oh the way to his room he finally remembered what Nozomi asked him to do." Ah Yes! She asked me to introduce The Agency Tech to the boys." he then rushes to his room and quickly changes into normal clothes. He runs towards the room where both the boys were sleeping. Meanwhile, in the room where both the boys were sleeping could have been the quietest room in The Agency but something wasn't right. Kiyoshi who was sleeping was tossing and turning all time, Suddenly his eyes snap open, Kiyoshi is covered in cold sweat, to the point where he was even shaking, his heart pounding, He shot up straight and was looking around the room suspiciously and paranoid that the horrors may have followed them there also. He was still shivering and rubs his eyes and head, he tries to be fully awakens. He then stumbles to the bathroom, looks in the mirror slowly but more of cautiously as if not sure what he'll see. The sun shines bright through the windows, washing away the vestiges of the horror, leaving him relieved to return to their mundane existence. He starts to brush his teeth suddenly he spots a shadow moving behind him and the followers with a loud gun shot and a bloodcurdling scream for help. That's when Kiyoshi suddenly shots up from his bed, covered in cold sweat and breathing heavily. He looks around and after a second he understands that all of it was a nightmare. He slowly gets up, still looking around cautiously. He looks around and then notices that he's never even seen any room like this and slowly but steadily the fear for the worst takes over Kiyoshi and he frantically gets out of his bed and starts to look around, He spotted the door and tries to open it but to no avail. The door was locked, the fear has now turned into panic. He runs towards Saski's bed where his best friend is still sleeping peacefully.

He shakes Saski but it all went in vain as Saski wasn't waking up for his own sake, Kiyoshi tries everything and at last fed up he exclaims, "Saski! You pig wake up!" Just then Yuki who was running towards the room comes barging in and scares the heck out of Kiyoshi. The already scared boy from his just nightmare again experiences the near death heart attack. "AAAGH!!!!." Kiyoshi exclaims but this time also waking up Saski. The room was filled with awkward silence in which Kiyoshi was looking at Yuki with a face full of confusion , Yuki looking at Kiyoshi straight in the eye and Saski just scratching his head, yawning to show him still being half asleep. Yuki finallyh breaks the silence and introduces himself with the most welcoming smile. Kiyoshi finally seems off the hook and Saski finally awake from his sleep. Kiyoshi interrupts Yuki saying and says, "Wait your voice. I remember it you were the one who came to save us last night. Didn't you?" This words from Kiyoshi leaves Yuki in surprise as to how he could recognize his so quickly but Yuki keeps his calm and goes ahead with his introduction, "My name is Yuki Ishikawa, You both shall call me Yuki as I'll be your teacher and at last I'd want you both to get ready within 15 minutes and meet me outside, I'll be answering all of the questions then." With that Yuki flashes them a smile and leaves the room. Both of them look confused and look at each other before following the instructions given to them. Saski looks confused and asked Kiyoshi if he know anything about what they'll change into and Kiyoshi says that he's sure that they must have kept a spare change of clothes for them as our teacher didn't specifically tell us anything for this. Till the time Saski is getting ready Kiyoshi looks for the clothes and finds then kept neatly inside under their respective beds. They both finally get ready and when they both exit the room which this time isn't locked. They both see Yuki waiting for them outside and straightway go to him, Yuki greets them again and briefly tell them about how they end up here, "let me start from the start, when Saski called me." Kiyoshi looked surprised at this fact and looks at Saski to confirm this and is in more shock when Saski nodes his head to agree with Yuki. He then continues, "Saski had already informed us about his suspicion on The Dark Mafia to come for you as he'd already seen the cursed ability mark on your hand and informed us about it. Now usually when The Dark Mafia kidnaps some kid who is cursed with cursed ability, it's just the men coming and simply taking the kid away without even being bothered to look at the parents. But in your case it was very different, the whole family had supposedly been under attack and after Saski told me everything I decided to look into it and asked the informers to dig out information about you and The Dark Mafia. After I got the information I told the boss or the leader of The Agency about all this.

Kiyoshi looks very confused about all this and this look of confusion is noticed by Yuki, He asks Kiyoshi to clear his doubts and ask him anything and he does so. "What can you do about this whole situation and what is that your informer had found out about me being related to The Dark Mafia and most importantly where are we?" Kiyoshi asked Yuki but before he could expect a reply Yuki laugh and says that currently they both are in The Agency Tech. Then he proceeds to answer the remaining questions, "The Agency Tech is an organization made to protect people from the horrors or The Dark Mafia and I guess you already know what the Dark Mafia is capable of doing and that's where we come in, We work with the government for the welfare of the people and protect them from Curses." He then continues with the answer to the second question, "Our informer informed us that the relation that keeps you related to The Dark Mafia is being the bosses brother's son and we've also got to know that the cursed ability that you'll possess or have within you is rare and also very helpful for The Dark Mafia to strengthen itself so they wanted to take you under them and you." This leaves Kiyoshi in despair. All the events from last night flashes infront of his eyes and he falls to the ground. Both Saski and Yuki act fast and help Kiyoshi to stand up and console him till he feels better.

Kiyoshi then gathers himself and stands straight even tho he feels like crying his heart out. Kiyoshi finally asked Yuki to explain more about The Agency Tech and The Dark Mafia so that it'll be easier for him to cope up with the situation. Yuki agrees and also tells them that he'll like to show The Agency to them as it'll be their home from now on. Kiyoshi is speechless at this fact that it be his new home from now on and isn't sure how to react. Saski looks at him and gives him a satisfying smile before holding Kiyoshi's hand for support. Yuki then turns towards the boys and asked them if they both are hungry but before anyone could even open their mouth Yuki already gets the answer when Kiyoshi's stomach grumbles followed by Saski's stomach grumbling. This makes all of them laught and the tension in the air is calmed down for the time being. Yuki then says with a smile followed by a chuckle that as it's their first day in The Agency Tech so they both with be treated with the best food. Kiyoshi looks at Saski who is already jumping with excitement and thanks Yuki for the kind behavior and making him feel better already. Kiyoshi and Saski both followh Yuki to The Agency's dinning area, soon after reaching there they meet Aki who'll be serving them again, " Oh Hey Yuki, so what brings you here again?" Aki askehs Yuki and he replies, " It's actually not related to me this time, You see it's the boys from the attack last night and I'd like to treat them to the best food we have in The Agency Tech." Aki face is filled with happiness and he flashes a big smile before saying "Yes sure I'd love to make something for them." and running towards the kitchen and leaving everyone in a happy mood.
