Chapter 9: Memories

[Before We Begin, None Of This Is Canon. Please Understand.]

Sakuya was sitting in her room, holding her pocket watch that helped her to control time. She sat down on the bed with Cat.

There was a knock on the door. Y/N walked in, looking suspiciously dangerous, but that doesn't matter yet.

"What was your father like?" they asked.

"I don't want to talk about him."

"I can easily just invade your thoughts and find out all I need to know." Y/N said.

"You can do that?" Sakuya asked.

"It's very easy."

They looked at her directly in the eyes. Suddenly, a memory occurred.

It was a park with young kids. A young aged Sakuya was standing at the fence, watching them. A man, who was her father, approached her.

"My daughter," he said, "have you found any vampires yet?"

"Yes, papa." she said.

"Did you kill them?"

She stayed silence.

"Speak, girl!"

"... no."

He sighed.

"Disappointing. How can you hope to be as good as me if you can't even harm a single soul?"

"I'm sorry, papa. But, they weren't aggressive. They were fairly nice."

"It's a trick. They trick you. You fall too easily prey to this vampire. They must be stopped."

"Ok, papa."

The memory faded. Sakuya and Y/N returned to reality.

"H... how did you..?"

"If I look you in the eyes, I can see into your mind at will."

They looked at each other again. Sakuya avoiding eye contact.

"Your father was an abusive and violent man, was he not?"

"... yes. He would... sometimes hit me, or... refuse to let me eat, or... or..." she stopped.

"Or..?"

"The basement." she said. "Dark, and damp, with rats everywhere, kept locked away for days, sometimes weeks. He was very cruel. I am glad to be away from him now."

"How did you escape from him?"

"I just... ran. And never looked back."

Before anything could happen, that goofy ahh kid called James just came out of nowhere and started being... well... y'know... stupid.

"Oi James." Y/N said. "You look like burn McDonalds' curly fries.Your face looks like a paper bag and you look like a body I just dragged out of the river."

That goofy ahh kid called James did not leave and instead just made himself at home in the room.

"I have a question..." Sakuya began.

James started speaking terrible Japanese, clearly taken from Google Translate as well as aggressively yelling "no!" in German as soon as anyone said anything. And just looking like a dumbass.

In conclusion, live in the mansion would become worse than hell in a matter of minutes.
