Shangri La Pt. 1

5: Problematic

( Bit of a time skip, it's a day later. )

It seemed the Captain of the Todoroki Knights returned home faster than anyone expected, but that didn't mean everyone was necessarily happy about it. 

A man with Silver Gray hair and sharp Crimson Red eyes noticed how all the other knights were keeping their distance from their ash blond Captain. 

This man is known as Gin Acri, he's 24 and is known to have some impeccable fighting skills. Before he became a knight for the Todoroki Kingdom, he was actually a member of the White Lotus Organization, but left due to some uncertain circumstances that happened back then.

"Any reason why you guys are distancing yourselves from the Captain?" Gin asked. 

"Ever since he got back from going to the East, he's been acting like this. None of us have had the courage to ask him what happened." Kaminari said. 

Gin looked and noticed how intense Katsuki was in the middle of training, so he thought he might as well give it a try. The other knights noticed Gin walking up to the Captain right away and weren't sure what was about to happen. 

"Hey-" 

Katsuki swung his sword and stopped the blade when it reached Gin's neck. Katsuki saw the slight scar on the Silver haired man's lip and knew who this was. 

"Gin..." 

"Mind telling me why you're in this mood, the other knights noticed it too." Gin said with sluggish eyes. Though his eyes seemed tired, Katsuki couldn't look away from Gin's Crimson gaze. 

"Tch- fine."

Gin busted out laughing and got to the point that his stomach was hurting. 

"I don't believe this- you're mad because a girl ran from you?" Gin said, rubbing his eyes. 

"Tch- stop laughing, this isn't funny!" Katsuki yelled. 

"So then, what's the girl's name?" Gin asked. 

"Erm, I... don't know..." Katsuki muttered. 

"Seriously, then what did she look like?" Gin asked. 

"I-I don't know that either!" Katsuki yelled. 

"Wait- you mean to tell me you're mad about a girl that ran and to make it worse you don't know who they are or what they look like?" Katsuki nodded slightly. Gin sighed, as this was not what he was expecting, he wasn't expecting to see Katsuki's face turn childlike either.

"Do you remember anything from the interaction you had with this girl?" Katsuki shook his head. 

"I was saving her from a bunch of shitheads and didn't really pay attention to her. Those guys said strange stuff though..." Katsuki said. 

"Like what?" 

"They said she was dangerous, but... I didn't see it when she asked me to save her from them..." Katsuki said. 

"What did you see then?" Gin asked. 

"I saw..." 

Katsuki remembered those large and soft Emerald Green eyes and how entranced he was to them.

"Her eyes..." 

"What about her eyes?" 

"Those guys said she was dangerous because she was a member of a powerful Clan." Katsuki said.

"Powerful Clan, huh? Were her eyes green?" 

Katsuki's eye jolted up and he looked at the Silver haired man.
