HIDE N SEEK | Yumark

40. Goodbye angel

Yuta sighs, hearing the man approach him.

"Yuta?" The man whispers and Yuta peers his head around the corner. "Ah... good to see you" He laughs, shaking Yuta's hand. "I wasn't expecting you to take up the job as you're quite the hidden one but I'm glad as you're the best person for it" He smiles.

"I'd do it for free if I really wanted" Yuta chuckles. He wouldn't actually. He'd do it for a life. A life for a life. He'd kill the person they wanted dead and then he'd kill the person who wanted them dead. It's only fair, right? He only now understood how he got the nickname 'Grim Reaper', reaping lives like it was his job... well it kinda was but he hadn't been given that role. He'd taken it upon himself as he felt... unjustified perhaps? no one including himself knew, he was just killing for the sake of killing.

"Well, whilst we're here, how about we catch up?" Yuta asks, leading the man to a nearby bench. "S-sure" The man stutters, a little nervous.

"How have you been?" Yuta asks with a smile. "Oh I've been just great, the daughters were gonna visit Ryu and the missus but for some reason, they're not answering or anything, you heard anything from em? I know you're quite close with his youngest" He says and Yuta pauses, would he say? Should he say? He could speak and let them mourn however he could leave them in the dark, that way they wouldn't be sobbing all over him... yeah sounds good. "Not sure, perhaps Ryutaro's got himself in a pickle" Yuta shrugs. "He is that kinda guy though isn't he?" The man sighs and Yuta nods.

"How are the daughters?" He asks and the man pauses. "Well, they're that age aren't they? getting their own places n stuff, heh, I'm not really needed anymore" The man sighs and Yuta raises a brow.

"Not needed? of course, you're needed Daisuke, they're your daughters and you're their father, they'll always need you" Yuta states and the man named Daisuke seems to close up like a mimosa leaf. "Well... since Yuki died... they seemed to hate me," He says quietly and Yuta pauses.

Yuki was Daisuke's first wife, and his oldest daughter Maia's mother, his current wife is the mother to his other 2 daughters, Eris and Kosmo. Yuta was the one to kill Yuki, as requested by Daisuke as she supposedly cheated on him. However, Yuta found out the truth but he killed her anyway as she'd pissed him off during the interrogation process. He doesn't regret killing her however now that he's... slightly saner than he used to be, he knows he probably shouldn't have done that but it's not surprising that his daughters hate him for her sudden death. They have all the right and more to hate him. Yuta despises him along with the entire world. Everyone is just a plaything for Yuta. He doesn't do any sort of relationship, whether that be friendship or love. Everything is just whatever he wants to think of it.

"Why's that?" Yuta questions and Daisuke shrugs. "I don't know... I tried helping them mourn but they didn't want anything to do with me, Kosmo told me that apparently, Maia wants Eris and herself to move in" He says. Yuta had an idea of where this was going... he found it cruel however that's what keeps him going, isn't it? "Have you tried asking them why they hate you?" Yuta asks and Daisuke looks down. "I'm afraid. If they believe that I killed her, how will I prove I didn't?" He asks looking at Yuta. "Honesty is better than anything," Yuta smiles. "Just tell them, unless you want me to" A mischievous smirk appears on Yuta's face that Daisuke knew too well. He'd never agree to such an offer.

"No..."

"Don't... please just..." Daisuke pauses, his fists balled up. "K-kill them" He sobs and Yuta snickers. Such a weakling. "If you want them dead then why are you crying about it?" Yuta crosses one leg over the other. "I feel bad, they're my daughters, I love them but I can't stand them" He whispers.

We're not so different after all...

"Is that why you're asking me to do it?" Yuta smirks. "You don't want the blood on your hands... but how will you cover it? how will you lie if you don't have proof?" He asks. "Enough with the mindfucking, just kill them and I'll send you the stupid fucking money, make it look like an accident at least" Daisuke spits and Yuta laughs. "Okay fine, I'll do it, however, I'm demanding an extra ten grand for little Kosmo, she was my favourite" Yuta juts his bottom lip out and Daisuke nods, rolling his eyes. "Yeah fine," He huffs.
