TWO

Toya P.O.V

“Boss, we found someone new with powers, and Riden has been tailing them. Should we tip off your father again?”

I look at Kyle and shake my head, “No, send Gara to handle it himself. I want you to keep an eye out on Kendo, that traitorous bastard is the one who let word spread about my kids, how the hell did no one know he was an inside spy that directly reported to Kai Riden?” I glare at Kyle, I do not trust him anymore.

The only way Kendo could have fooled me for so long is if Kyle knew and he is not loyal to me anymore. Speaking of kids, why the hell are those brats in my head all the damn time? I barely managed to blink last night. I am not comfortable with them living with Reina, she was a good cover but now word has spread, and they will be safer with me.

I stand up thinking about them is breaking my focus, I cannot get through all this work, fucking hell, it is no use losing my mind here, they are my kids and yes, it is affecting me. I might be attached to them just because they are mine, and I am the type that does not do attachment. I sigh, “Kyle, I gave you orders, why are you still standing here?”

“You looked like something was on your mind, I was wondering if it is more orders.” Kyle responds, and the look of curiosity on his face is annoying. It feels like he is analysing me and that infuriates me.

“I just want to check on my sons, please make sure the news about them doesn’t get to my father yet.” I open the door, and my father is standing at my door with the twins behind him with mini suitcases, what the hell did Reina do?

“You better calculate the next words that come out of your mouth very carefully.” My father threatens, steps out of the way and the twins are sitting on the floor playing together.

“I was on my way to tell you,” He looks at me signalling to explain now with just a glare, if looks could kill, “Uhm, their mother and I were together for a very brief time and that’s when I got back together with Bella after we separated and we lost contact, she found out I was pregnant after we both went our separate ways. I swear I did not know about them until recently.” I glance at Kyle snickering by the corner, why is this bastard still hired, I should fire his ass.

I look at my father, damnit, did he overhear me telling Kyle to not tell him anything? I glare at him to get out, why is he damn sluggish? This is not the Kyle I remember working with, something is seriously off, it is like there is a – disconnection of sorts.

“Boys.” I lock my office door after Kyle leaves. I pick them up, “What are these bags for?”

“Sleep over at your house.” Hiryu smiles.

“Mommy said ... mm ... mommy said we can sleep over when we asked.” Killuhua smiles.

Fucking Hell, I have not told Bella yet.

I look at my father and an idea crosses my mind, why not sleep over at his house together? I have not been over for a visit in a while.

“Awesome, do you guys want to meet my father? I am going to sleep over at his house tonight.” Yeah, this is better. I do not have to worry about Bella now. I look at my father, “I wanted to discuss a more serious issue about the twins.”

“Which is?” My father is looking at me like he wants to strangle me.

“One is a Dichotome, there is a chance it could be both, but they have already manifested powers, and for their age it is ... powerful.” I put the boys down and let them use the elevator and take the stairs with my father, “The thing is, eventually they will both be Dichotomes. The problem is not even that, it is ... their mother’s power.”

“What is it?” my father asks, he seems calmer now.

“She can make wishes happen, and well, one of the boys already has the power. I did some research on the Wish Bloodline, and according to record there are none left. They were hunted down, and the day I met Luna her hair was white, I do not think Killuhua gets the colour from me.” I look at him, my mother is a sour topic for him.

“What about the other one? Why do they have Airan names?”

Airan?

“Their mother must be Airan I guess, anyway, it’s Hiryu and Killuhua, can you focus on their powers, we have a serious issue here.” I look at my dad and he is not paying attention to me, “Dad.”

“Those are very Airan, and what is her last name?”

I do not know.

“Dad, your grand kids could be in danger, can we discuss the mother later.” I take his hand and stop him in his tracks and block his path, I am not taking a step farther until he stops questioning me about their mother and the conversation swings my way.

“Helia who would be stupid enough to come anywhere near my grandchildren?” my father smirks. His confidence is reassuring.

“Someone desperate enough to take any job. Can you indulge me for a moment.” I do not want to tell him about the rumours Kendo spread about the twins, because they are being hunted down and there is a big price on their heads.

Dad.

I look down and wave at the twins, “They are young, and I just met them, they are vulnerable.” I am glad they are kids, they just allowed me to break into their everyday life and blend in like I was always in the picture.

Hiryu sneezes and sets himself on fire. I jump down from the third floor and rushes to his side taking his jacket off. I calm him down when he starts crying.

“Does it hurt?” I ask wiping his tears and he takes my hand, I watch his bursts into flames, “Hiryu calm down please.” What the hell can I do? What is wrong? The heat is not so bad, but for a child, should it be so hot? The temperature is also rising.

I look around and everyone in the reception has stopped working, looking at us, and my father is taking his time down the stairs, while I cannot figure out what to do, how to hold him, what to say, why this is happening.

My father picks him up.

“What’s wrong?” I flinched, his crying suddenly started up again and sounds like he is pain, “Dad.” I exhale watching his whole body set on fire. All my staff is now watching us, and on the worst day, I have a press interview scheduled today, and they are getting an exclusive on my kids which I never wanted to happen, I was planning on them never becoming public.

I pick up Killuhua who is hiding behind me.

“Can we go?” I ask my dad, the cameras are watching and getting closer. That Bitch Candice is having a field day, she is here because I do not want her to blow my cover.

My dad signals me to wait, and my sons’ flames change to a light blue and form into a small creature with wings. A blue aura like the one Reina hit me with bursts out of him.

“Babe, what is going on?” Bella runs towards me and looks at the child in my arms.

“Bella not now.” I put Killuhua down and walk towards Hiryu, “Dad, he is too young for flames this hot, can he handle it?”

“He will be fine, those were not flames.” My father runs towards Killuhua leaving with the food deliver man and carries both twins in his arms, “Come on. Your food is ready this side.”

I look at the press and Bella, “Uhm, dad, can you take them home? I will catch up to you later.” Damnit, having kids is a nightmare this is why I never wanted any.
