4 Family problems

Masato sat on the window looking down the road. he was pretty much lost in his thoughts but the smile remained same.

after putting his mother on the bed he was wondering what to do? it's not like he can't earn money.. there a lot of way for him to do so.

but the point is whether his mom allow it? or can he make time for both of them? even school took almost all their time. if he were to work..

"w-where are you? hello please...no.." behind him his mom was mumbling while her expressions were sour. he looked back at her and approached her.

'is she is having some nightmare again?' he said putting his hands on her forehead.

as he patted her head she calmed down, and suddenly a smile formed over her face.

Masato was taken aback, she was looking very beautiful. he wondered how could she suffer such a fate..

'wait a bit more.. them i will make them pay, who dares to hurt you' he said before leaving the room.

he went back to his room, even though he barely use this room. he looked down his bed, pulling out a card board box.

'mm.. this would do.' he said as he pulled over a black mask. the mask was perfectly fitting.

he pulled a black full sleeved t-shirt and black leather pants.

then again put a black cap clipping his hairs.

'now let's deal with you first..' he thought as he jumped out of the window vanishing through the air.

in Gremory house hold.

Rias was sitting on the couch while sitting next to her mother Venelana Gremory, Venelana looks very much like her daughter with shorter flaxen hair and violet eyes. Due to her devil lineage, she appears around the same age as her daughter.

on the opposite side Zeoticus,  a middle-aged, handsome looking man with long crimson hair that is tied in a loose ponytail with a black hairband. He has bright blue eyes just like Rias Gremory. He also has a short and red beard or stubble.

the atmosphere was tense, Venelana tried to console her daughter who was upset or angry.

"it's better you know Rias, our clans made this decision for your good, you shouldn't refute." said Zeoticus.

"b-but-" Rias wanted to confront but shut down by her father.

"Rias! we're done here go back to your room." he said while getting up from the seat.

"Rias.. " Venelana was a bit sad that she couldn't be any help.

they all got up returned to their own rooms. upon reaching their room Rias gritted her teeth.

"... it's no use, we have to get him on my side, he is the only hope." she said.

in the middle of the city, a man with black covered his whole body could be seen jumping from one roof to another. he was running very fast that it's hard to spot him.

upon reaching a certain roof of a building he stopped.

a dark aura illuminated from his body making people shiver in his vicinity. the guard was soon knocked out by him. as made his way inside the building he saw almost all the lights are closed. he went back to the room where he saw some lights on.

he saw a woman sitting by the beach with a coffee in her hands.

he sneaked behind her and grabbed her mouth refraining her from screaming.

"sh.. don't shout take it easy." he said as he removed his hands. she wanted yo scream but her voice stuck inside.

she was scared what's happening. she turned around to find a man with black mask and black dress covered his whole body. it was Masato.

"i am here for details of someone. if you help me i will just return, if not.." he said while releasing his pressure.

she gulped and started to shake her head.

then she guided him to another small room, filled with files.

for safety measures he covered both of them with some dark fog which the cctv cameras can't catch their footage.

"who are you looking for? name or something.." she said.

"um.. you are here today right?" he asked.

"y-yes?"

"then about the conference. where the Grey-White production team was meeting. who was the guy that taken to the hospital?"

"oh..him? " her expression darkened.

"oh..so you know about him?" said Masato.

"that's.. our branch manager, he usually handles the new projects and the contracted ones."

"oh, that's fine, now give me his files." asked Masato.

"that's.. it's confidential information i can't-" she was denying as he interupted.

"do you think i am here in the middle of night to ask? i am ordering you bring me the files." he said as he pressured her a little bit.

"i-i am sorry.. i will do it." she said as she went inside the room and took out a card and bunch of keys.

then they left for another room nearby, she was terrified with his presence only it's getting intense every second. she want to leave asap, if it is to give out the personal documents so be it.

she rushed inside the room using the card as a key then went to the locker shelves. there she took out some documents among the pile of papers.

"here.. this is the manager Kishi Iwao." she handed the papers with her shivering hands.

she was scared if she not do as he wish it won't end well for her. at the same time if the papers went missing it would be troublesome.

"hmm.. don't worry i am not that inconsiderate as long as you don't piss me off. go and make a copy and put the originals back." he said looking at the trembling figure of the woman.

she took out her glasses and lead him the way. she stopped at the printer to make some copy.

after handing over the papers she sighed in relief.

"you! go and fix everything how it was before." he said.

"y-yes." she said as she turned off the printer and put the documents back at the locker and returned the keys.

"well then now i have to excuse myself, i have some family problems to handle" he muttered as he held her neck.

she soon passed out. "aww.. i had to wipe your memories you don't mind right?" he left her on the bench she was before he arrived.

he got top of the building and sat down.

"hahah, what we have here.. a wife and two kids? still lusting over here and there.."

he looked at the documents, he found his address and his family details.

he got up and started to run.. he took a leap to the other building, but didn't reached as he vanished out of thin air
