Chapter 9 - DNA

With tears in her eyes, Aya hugged Miho tightly. "I am so sorry for leaving you behind!" she said crying.

Aya slowly stopped crying and Miho told her, "It's alright Aya." As they were hugging.

"Miho, Ryuu is the son of Takashi Nomura…he wants to meet with Akagi." Aya said.

Miho looked at me surprised, "Really? The son of Takashi?" and then she told us, "Let's go to Akagi then!"

The three of us walked in the cold streets of the night in silence, no one was talking. I only wanted at that moment to meet the creator's son, Akagi and ask him about my father.

After walking for about 20 minutes, Miho said, "Well, we are here. I don't think Akagi has returned yet."

Then a sound of a motorcycle engine echoed on the streets as it was coming closer to us. Miho said, "There he is!"

A man dressed in a suit stopped right next to us on a sports motorcycle and looked curious at me.

[Akagi, 28]

He says nothing and slowly gets off the motorcycle and keeps looking at me, then Miho goes to him and tells him, "Akagi, he is Ryuu, Nomura's Takashi son!"

Shocked, he said, "Ryuu..come with me, we should talk inside."

I followed Akagi and after entering the door, I got myself into a giant lab. I looked surprised in every direction, there were a lot of substances and things that I cannot explain. I asked him, "Are you a scientist?"

As he was searching for something in his lab, he told me, "Yeah, just doing what I've learned from dad."

"About your dad, what happened between him and my dad?" I asked.

Akagi answeard me, "When I was little, me and my dad lived in a small house in a forest near the city. One day, my dad came home with Takashi, who ran away from home after having an argument with his family. My dad welcomed him to stay with us, meanwhile, at night, my dad worked on his little project…Aya and Miho. One night, Takashi found my dad doing some calculations and asked him about it. My dad told him the truth."

"About Aya and Miho?" I asked.

Akagi said, "Yes…about Aya and Miho. Then he prepared a special vaccine for him made from holy blood, not to be possessed by them, as they didn't know how to control their powers at first. I couldn't be possessed as I wasn't even allowed to enter his little lab in the house. Then I started hating your father little by little as I was seeing how he was stealing my dad. It was like…he was his son, not me."

I looked at him confused and asked him, "So…your dad started considering my dad like his own son instead of you?"

"Yeah, then after a few more weeks, he left to return back to his home and I haven't heard anything from him since then. After he left, my dad seemed kinda sad, as he lost someone he cared about so much."

"I understand…" I said.

Happily he said, "Here it is, I found it!"

I asked him, "What did you find?"

He looked at me, showed me an injection and said, "Ryuu, I've seen your cross sign on the finger since I arrived. I think you want to be able to get more power but you can't because of your holy blood from your father."

I looked at him as he continued speaking, "That injection in my hand. Let me explain it to you. You have holy blood, which rejects demonic power. All humans with normal DNA can be possessed by demons easily. But this injection, made directly in your heart's artery will pump all the dosage at once in your whole body."

"Directly in the heart's artery? What does it do?" I asked, scared.

He tells me, "It kills all of your DNA, you will die and after the injection you will have no DNA left in your body, immediately after that, if Aya or Miho tries to possess you, they will write a new DNA in your body…you will have a demonic DNA."

Trembling, I said, "It sounds kinda scary…to die as a human and then…reborn as a demon."

"Ryuu, take a seat here." He said softly.

"Alright, but why?" I asked him curiously.

Akagi looked at me and told me, "I'll give you the injection!"
