The car raced over bridges and fly overs, with many curved turning it entered into the land of wilderness. Giant conifers stood at the mountain face, intimidating anyone that dare to enter inside.
On the heights of the hill, a faint glowing light was seen at the horizon. As the car approach, it became brighter. The light came from the several luminous bulbs dotted on a grand white mansion. The gates opened and the car entered one after the other.
At the spacious verandah, bordered by potted ferns, the leader sat at the middle of it on a chair. The still restrained Shinji was dragged to him and was forced to sit on the floor. The vertebral band around his mouth was unsealed.
"Who are you, why have you kidnap me?" he asked desperately.
But all the people around him remain silent and indifferent to his plies. The leader removed his mask and put it on the glass table infront of him. His face was a fairly etched one. His hairs were slightly long reaching near the eyes and dark brown. He eyed him thoroughly and also quite a long. Shinji felt a growing discomfort with that dragging stare.
"Pull out your kagune" he demanded in a faint voice.
"What?" Shinji blurted out.
The lady behind him pulled his wrist band causing a sharp pain.
"Can't you hear, Yuta sama asked you to show him your kagune"
Shinji curled up and slowly his kagune was materialising in it's best form. Like a lotus opening it petal one by one, the limbs of the kagune stretch forward.
Everyone gaze was fixed at those kagune and there was a wary look on each of their face.
"I knew it you were the one ... I thought you perished but it seem you are still hanging to dear life..." Yuta spoke
Shinji look at him in a puzzled expression.
"You may not know a thing since you were little. Do you even remember your sister or even you mother. Well your dumb face speaks volumes. Let me tell you what you have missed" he said and crossed his feet.
"You are my step brother, we share the same father. But consequences wished only one of us to succeed. Our father was not the best one and also quite unfaithful. And one night he brought your mother as his second wife. Mom's life shattered, but she didn't gave up hope. After the birth of your sister, she was sure that I would still inherit the after father. But your mother once again got pregnant and after nine month a boy was born. And it was you. Mom was in deep agony and plotted a plan to hunt all three of you. Her plan was by no means perfect, and your mother died out of exhaustion and cold in some frozen wood in the countryside. The news fell on father's ears and he dispatched a search party that recovered the dead body and your live sister. But none could find a trace of you. Everyone thought you were picked up and eaten by some wild beast. My mother soon followed the same paths as your mother. Perhaps this was some kind of curse" he paused and looked at Shinji. And Shinji was listening blankly.
"After that your sister loss the status of a daughter and has been reduced to a servant. How you survive is a mystery, which even you may not know. But let bygone be bygones. Now listen, you have only two options. Serve me as my personal servant as your sister is doing or die" he said malignantly.
Shinji was furious and it was even with the bright yellow colour his kagune was displaying.
"How could I serve someone who is a son of a bitch" he roared and in just a blink of an eye flew towards him. Even the guard couldn't react to it.
But before he could even gaze him, Yuta unleashed his own kagune. It pierced Shinji at his right arms and pin him too the floor. The excruciating pain from the hit cause his kagune to withdrew at once. The guards ran to seal Shinji but he was very much wasted by now.
"A dog, that is what you will serve best" he said "you are in charge of training him, Aizara; make sure he becomes obedient." And after that he walked into the mansion. She bowed.
When Yuta figure disappear behind the mansion door, she extended her kagune and wrap it round Shinji's neck. Without a word she walked rapidly to the quarters dragging Shinji along with her.
