The Guardians…

  The next day we woke up, still terrified by what had happened yesterday. I and Yuki quickly ran up the stairs to Dad's room. There we saw Hanbi and Sai looking upset.

"Yudai, let us chat outside. I have something important to tell you, Yuki you should come too." So we went out of my house and immediately started talking.

"Look Yudai, we have been investigating your parents. And I take full responsibility for that, but your father did not make it."

"And what about mom, is she okay? Can we go visit her?" asked Yuki, crying with sadness.

"She's still alive, but we think she's paralyzed forever. And I do not think you should visit her now because she's still healing from her wounds."

"Is there any way to free Mom so she can walk again?" I asked, gasping.

"Yes, Yudai, there is a fruit called Iyase that is shaped like a beehive for some reason, but I am afraid it's a myth from an old ancient sacred book called "The Legend of Amaterasu and Tsukuyomi," in which the main character's pet dragon died and he found the Iyase fruit to revive him. Although it is just a myth, I really believed that it was a real thing.

“But where can I find this mythical fruit Sai? I’m more than happy to help cure mom.”

"Now, in the beginning, before there was printing, someone recorded this book by hand, and only 3 copies of this book were made and sent to different parts of the world for safety. We do not know where the other two books are. And one more thing, each of the books has a different symbol, which is three mythical ores - gold, Akai, and diamond to open the dungeon of the Iyase fruit. The only one we know is the book with the gold symbol, but half of the book has already been burned by an unknown person and the symbol has also been stolen."

"Who stole it ?"

"The authorities are still checking but we suspect it's the Aka hunter – a criminal organization with modified bodies, I think the one who attacked us yesterday is also a member of Aka hunters too. They are currently attacking the northern part of the world. "

"Why do they want this fruit ?" Yuki asked

"I don't know … Oh and Yudai if you want to find this fruit you should go explore the northern part of The world. Said Sai while giving me a big and long piece of brick.

"What is this Sai ?"

"This is an old world map device. It is different from the world map we have now. This is more accurate for finding some sacred books."

All of a sudden Hanabi ran out of our half-broken house.

“Yudai, Yuki your mother is finally awake she told me to call you guys to talk to her,” Hanabi said excitedly.

Thus, we straight up ran into mom’s room. I saw her lying in bed tired holding a long, big, and mysterious box. I was at a loss I do not know what to do. As soon as mom looked at me. She looked regretful, disappointed in some way.

"Yudai, Yuki, you two are adopted and me, dad and Sai are in an unknown organization - "The Guardians". "The Guardians" are trying to protect the Iyase fruit, and the Aka Hunters are hunting all of us. Yuki, Yudai, I know we are not your biological parents, but you are the only hope to take down the Aka Hunters."

“Wait WHAT!!! so who are our biological parents? Why did they give us up? I’ve been fooled my whole life what ?” Yuki said with mixed emotions looking like she is going to cry the next second.

“Calm down Yuki. Yudai's biological parents were arrested 12 years ago for some reason. We took pity on him so we adopted him. But what we didn’t know is both his parents are members of the Aka hunters and both of them broke out of jail last year. Yudai the police are still looking for both your parents. ”

“So, this explained the aqua color eyes. But who are Yuki’s biological parents?”

“I can’t tell you right now. We agreed not to tell you this after you are older to keep you safe-”

“Why don’t you think I’m supposed to know? Why? I deserve to know this. You’re not my mom I hate you!” shouted Yuki angrily while running back to her room.

“Yuki we’re you going”

“She’s always like this mom don’t take it to heart. Mom, I will always love you whether you are my biological mom or non-biological mom. You’re always my mom that cared for me all these years”

“Ya, Yudai you’re right she’s always like this. As I was saying you might know that the Aka Hunters inject some monster cells in them. So there is a chance of you getting mutated someday, Yudai.”

“Mutated? Do you mean like me turning into some kind of monster or demon?”

“Yes, Yudai there is a chance, but commonly you will not turn fully into a monster, it's just like you can turn into a demon whenever you want.”

“Mom, can you tell me what the Guardians do?”

Mom went up and told me that a long time ago there was a fruit created by the god of food called the Iyase Fruit it was meant to heal or revive every sickness there is in this universe. The Aka Hunters are trying to find this fruit to revive their founder that died in a duel against the most vital Member of the Taniguji Clan – Taniguji Sasaki, known as the greatest kendo master to ever live. The Guardian doesn’t want this to happen because of the founder of the Aka hunters – Vi. He will destroy the whole world. Oh, and also mom told me that the Guardians intend to keep finding the Iyase Fruit and will build a giant vault to store it if it's been found. As for me If I ever find the Iyase fruit I will give it to mom to heal her. It is because she went through a lot to feed me, make me precious, and make me special. As I said, I will love her the same if she were my biological parents or adoptive parents. She will always be my mom. Oh, and also she told me that she wishes Me and Yuki will join the H.A short for the Hugosha Academy. H.a Is an academy for gifted kids for sports like kendo and bow shooting (that Yuki also is good at). On top of that, she also told me that “going anywhere or doing anything is meant to be not easy. I must go through ups and downs to succeed at everything” which I like very much. I also told her that I will find the fruit and heal mom and revive dad.
