The Jerk is a Ghost

"Who are you?" the woman asked as she pointed her gun at Uno. Glock gun. Zia pointed out and reminded me of the different types of guns. Ugh, here we go again. Zia again!

I gasped in shock. Uno let go of the eco-bag he was carrying and raised his hand. "H-hey. We're just k-taking our necessities." said the Rev while stuttering.

There was a pregnant woman behind him and a girl. There are only three of them. And the worse they are not fully armored so it is dangerous for them to roam outside.

"I said who are you !?" dalag's brave question so I answered. This b***h!

"If you want us to answer your question then put that gun out. Ikaw ba naman tutukan ng baril sino hindi I wear a formal dress today in meeting with my Grandpa. I'm wearing a red kimono with sophisticated design and pattern while my hair is tied into bun. Mom put decorations in my hair to make it look nice.

"My baby looks so dazzling in this kimono." Mom smiled at me.

"Mom! You know I hate compliments. It flusters me up." I said to him with a sigh.

"But my baby really looks so dazzling and cute!" Mom said and gave me one of those puppy eyes. I immediately gave in and she hug me tightly. I didn't realize that my tears were already flowing. When mom saw it she was shocked.

"Oh my God! What happened? Did I hugged you too tight, darling?" Mom asked me worriedly.

"Mom? Can you hug me again? I missed you." I told him and he seemed surprised at what I said. I know she will, I'm not an affectionate kid. I hate hugs and kisses, anything that's similar to it. But it changed when my family died. I remember longing for them. I regretted that I always avoided their hugs and kisses. Mom gave me a hug. A hug where I feel relief and safe.

"Jeez, and here I thought you hate skinship." I heard mom whisper to me. I hugged her so tight. I promise I won't let Blanca kill you. I promise I won't let Blanca gets what he desires.

"I love you mom." Crying I told her.

"I love you too." Usal is mom.

We finally arrived at the Main Base. Sorry Mikey, I decided to join my family's gathering. Not only I could meet Grandpa, but this gathering is also an important and serious one. Guards greeted us with a bow and the butlers lead us to the Function Hall. This one is a very big hall. I don’t know why the gathering was held here. Because usually, these are held in Limbo Hall. When we entered I saw uncle from not far away, together with Karu and Oru. They do really work under uncle Baki!

"Hikaru, Kaoru ... What are you doing here ?!" Dad immediately asked them.

"Master Kenshin, we worked under Master Baki now." Karu answered formally and took a bow. Dad and older brother Kaito didn't speak anymore and motioned us to sit down while waiting for Grandpa's arrival. Both sides were silent, I could only hear a sigh from dad.

Dad must be really shocked. The two people he raised and taught then, are on the other side now. A few more minutes had passed and I got bored. I decided to slouch on the sit but older brother Kaito tapped my left foot. I rolled my eyes before I sit back formally. And because I was really bored, I decided to break the silence between us. Just as I utter a word the door suddenly opens.

I immediately stand up to see the person we are waiting for. It looks like we all stand in chorus when we see him. The one who continued and grew the wealth and popularity of our family. It's none other than, Louvre Zen Manitoba.

"Granpa ..." I whispered to myself as I saw him again. It's shocking to be honest, why grandpa still looks at the child compared to his age of 58 years old. Together, we bow down as a sign of greetingespect to the higher up.

"Welcome back, Master." Mom feels like grandpa. Even the childrens of grandpa addresses him as "Master."

"Yumi. How many times I've told you not to call me Master. Call me" Daddy ", hmp!" And here it is. Grandpa's childishness.

"Dad ..." Mom frowned at grandpa's behavior. Hihi, he never changed.

"Dad." Uncle Baki greeted him. Grandpa's face immediately became serious when he saw uncle Baki. Uh oh, here it goes.

"Baki. I've heard that you've started an underground fight." Grandpa's words were serious and cold to him. "And I've also heard it caused one casualty and even affected my grandson."

"That's against the rules. Tell me Baki, why did you do that?" Grandpa asked him seriously.

"To gather around those people who said bad things to us and consume the money ---" Uncle didn't finish what he was going to say when grandpa suddenly kicked him in the stomach. "GRAAAGGHH !!" Uncle moaned in pain and then grandpa punched uncle in the face.

"AARRRGHHH !!" She moaned again. This is a really disturbing sight to see for normal kids. But the thing is we're not normal. We're used to seeing this kind of sight so it's normal to us, to me. Mom immediately get between the two.

"Dad! Please stop! You're gonna kill Baki nii-chan !!" Mom pleads with grandpa with a streak of worry in his voice and expression.

"Move. I'm just teaching him a lesson." Grandpa's cold command.

"But it's too much. Please dad, calm down! I don't want to lose a brother anymore." And finally mom's tears fell. I noticed that grandpa's shoulder seemed to have dropped as well. "Dad ... Please .... Please ..." Mom continued to plead while crying protecting uncle's now unconscious body. I saw grandpa grab both mom’s shoulders and pulled her in a hug.

"Alright princess. I'm sorry. Daddy's sorry. Sshhh, stay." Grandpa's gentle words to mom. It's the first time I've seen grandpa's soft side.
