~~~Chapitre 2 - Confrontation~~~
“What’s wrong, Zero ? You seemed, distracted.”
Ryosuke looked up to the face of his upperman and shrugged.
“Nothing. Just a little tired.”
“Watch yourself. You know that you have to be aware all the time in this world.” The man continued.
“Don't worry about me, ‘Mr. Valentine’. I'm always aware about everything in any condition.” Ryosuke said flatly.
“What happened with the Eastern-Gatekeeper ? It’s so unlike him to be distracted like this.” Come a teasing tone from Ryosuke’s right direction.
“Shut up, Snake. Just take care of yourself before you start butting yourself in someone else’s problem.” Ryosuke spat.
“Watch your languange, Zero. And Snake, you should’ve known better than to tease others. You’re an adult already.” The only woman in the room warned them off.
“Hai, hai. Faith-mama. I’ll shut up.” The man called Snake retreated back on his seat.
“Now, now. You guys are comrades. Stop acting like you’re enemies.” The man in the middle chuckled. “Fine. Now that we have everyone’s attention, we shall begin today’s meeting. There’re some business I would like to speak, but today’s main topic concerns the suspension order for our dear friend, Dash, the Southern-Gatekeeper. And I would like to discuss this matter with you all.”
At the mention of the name, Ryosuke slowly turned his head to his left, where the chair lack it’s occupant.
“Why don’t you ask Zero there. I believe he knew something about his unique friend.” Snake snorted.
“Watch your mouth, Snake. And for your information, I had no idea of what he was doing for him to get suspended from the organization.” Ryosuke snorted back.
The man called Mr. Valentine cleared his throat to stop the two boys from arguing any further. “I told you to stop arguing, didn’t I ?” He said calmly. “Now listen, Zero was telling the truth when he said that he knew nothing about this. After all, he was out of the city when the happening occurred. But let me tell you this, according to my trusted informant, Dash was making a move of betrayal to us all, and he even leaked the information of our whereabouts to an outsider. I thought that he would be forgiven if he denied the accussation. But when I questioned him about the truth of the rumours, he made no tries of denial. It’s not that he agreed with the rumours at all, but still, I believe that he was involved with this matter. That’s why, until further confirmation of whether he was indeed betraying us or not, I put him under a suspension. If the rumours were confirmed false, his suspension would be cancelled and he would returned to job soon. But if the rumours were confirmed right, then he would be removed from the organization immediately. With a severe punishment and an assurement that he would not tell on us any further.”
Ryosuke could feel a cold sweat running down his forehead. There’s only one meaning of those words.
“He’ll be killed then.”
All eyes turned to see the newcomer slowly making his way to the empty chair on Ryosuke’s left side.
“Sorry I was late. The messenger kinda messed up the notification, so I didn’t know that I should be coming here today.” The man sit leisurely as he crosses his arms in front of his chest.
“Ah, of course. While Dash is under the suspension order, he would be replaced temporarily by his Vice, King. King, we are delightful to have you here.” Mr. Valentine slightly bowed to the newcomer.
“My pleasure Mr. Valentine.” The newcomer bowed back. “I hope you could lead me out, everyone, since I’m kinda new with this position and all.” He smiled warmly toward the other three occupants of the room.
“Eh ? So you’re the infamous Vice-Captain of the Southern Gate, eh ? For a person your age, you’re quite short. But I’m not surprised since we already had a shortie here.” Snake commented from accross the room, which received a hiss from Ryosuke, and a warning "Snake" from Faith. “Hope you’re better than Dash. Nice to meet you, King. I’m Snake by the way, from the Northern Gate.”
“Let’s work hard together. The name is Faith, the Western-Gatekeeper.” Faith bowed as well.
“I’m Zero. Adapt quick or you’ll be left behind. You’re not some yesterday kid in this world, right ?” Ryosuke said coldly, without even looking at the newcomer.
“Yes. I will try my best.” The newcomer bowed down.
“Now, now. Shall we continue our meeting ?” Mr. Valentine cut in with his remark smile which constantly shut the room up.

“Nakajima-kun ! Sorry, I was late.”
Yuto turned his head to the smaller boy running his way and put a small smile. “It’s okay, Chii. And I’ve been telling you to stop calling me so formally like that. Just call me by my name.”
The smaller boy just gave him a sheepish smile. “Right, Yuto-kun. So where are we going today ?”
“Just some strolls around town. Come on, I’ll show you around. There are nice places here in Tokyo that you would like.” Yuto offered a hand which the smaller boy took delightfully.
“Sure.” The little boy smiled as he let Yuto lead him to many places in town.
“So, what do you think ?” Yuto questioned as the both of them rest in a bench of this very beautiful park in town. A strawberry ice-cream on Yuto’s hand, while Chinen has vanilla.
“As expected, big city is different. I was a little anxious coming to the new environment, but I have Yuto-kun by my side so I think I’ll be fine.” The squirrel boy chatter happily.
Yuto smiled at the sight. “Ne, Chii ?”
“Hmm ?”
“Aren’t you afraid of me ?” Yuto suddenly asked.
Chinen’s brows furrowed at the question. “Why ?”
“Well, since I told you stories about my life. You know, about the secret organization I’m in. Don’t you think that I’m insane or something ?” Yuto shrugged while licking on his ice-cream.
Chinen shook his head slowly. “I must say that I was startled at first, but then I knew that you were telling me the truth. The fact that you told me about it flattered me, actually. I didn’t really expected you to share that huge secret of yours with me. And I wouldn’t think of you as an abnormal, I mean, everyone has their own stories, right ? You’re my friend, so I believe you.”
Yuto smiled again at the boy’s innocent answer. “Thank you. You’re the very first person who ever thought of me as a real friend. And you accepted me the way I am. I’m, grateful.” He looked up into the sky as he feels his smile widened. “Really, thank you.”
“You are welcome.” Chinen make a cute face as he pinched on Yuto’s nose.
