The Adventures of the Seven Deadly Sins- A Origins Crew Version Story

Chapter 11

Kyo's POV:

I was sitting on a cliff that overlooked the town. I had my legs dangling off the edge. They were swinging, slightly, back and forth. I sighed in content. This is probably the calmest and quietest since I left the village. I paused. The village...

I pulled my legs towards my chest at that thought. I wrapped my arms around them and layed my chin gently on my knee's. When should I tell them? I've already broken down about the village. So they must know something happened... by now... I thought.

I burried my head in my knees. I was so overwhelmed with everything that happened. I started to cry. At some point, someone walked up to me. They had put their hand on my shoulder. I tensed up. I couldn't stop crying though.

"Kyo... what's wrong?" they asked.

I knew it was my father. Just by the tone. I eventually I shook my head. I didn't-no- couldn't tell him. He would be so upset. He would rage... I didn't want him to be mad. I decided not to respond. Not like I could, like I said before.

"Ya know, kid. It's not good to bottle this all up..." said a new voice.

I froze. I lifted my head slightly. Dad had let go of my shoulder, and took a couple steps behind me. I turned around, a little to look at them. I mumbled "P-Papa?" I saw Papa leaning on a tree. Him and dad both chuckled lightly.

"Guess he likes you more, huh Ritchie?" joked Dad.

They both started to laugh even more. I relaxed and wiped my tears. My tears had stopped falling by then. I just kinda sat there, watching them bicker. I was very entertaining, to be honest. I looked back off the cliff, dangling my feet.

They were swaying just slightly. Not vierourly, but also not where they aren't moving. This is how it should have been for 15+ years I thought. A happy family. Not one where they were threatened 24/7. Where there isn't psycho's around every corner...

Where we all can live normally. I sighed slightly. Why can't I have a papa who didn't date a pshyco for a week. At some point, they had stoped bickering. I could feel them staring at me. I just didn't say anything. Eventually, Papa said something.

"Here, let me make this easier. You're gonna tell us. No matter how long it takes"

I looked at him with wide eyes. I sighed and shook my head in defeat. I knew I wouldn't be able to persuade them. I waved them to come sit with me. Papa sat on my left. Dad sat on my right. I started to explain to Papa my PTSD. Dad was confused about why I told Papa.

He said, and I quote, "Why did you tell him? Don't get me wrong it was a good thing to say, but still. What does that half have to do with anything?" I told him that he would half wait for the answer. After I was done, I shakily sighed.

"About 2-3 days ago, when it hit the 8 year mark. Yuki gave me a note from Dad. It said leave. Go back to my original home. Not the village." I paused, and motioned around us. "This place..." I waited a second, debating what to say. "Not long after we arrived, I realized I forgot my sword"

I gestured toward my sword, that was still in the hilt. The corner of my eyes started to collect tears. I didn't know what else to say. "When I arrived... there..." I paused, trying hard not to cry. I continued with "t-the whole village..."

Then the flood gates opened. I couldn't finish my sentence without bursting into tears. Everything I had bottled up for the past 15ish years came out. All the tears needing to be shed. All the anger needing to be released. And the happiness I was scared to feel. Everything.

Awwwwww. Bean!!!

I then grabbed onto Ritchie, and sobbed. I sobbed my whole heart out. At first, Ritchie was surprised. Then, eventually, he slightly hugged back, rubbing my back lightly. I continued to cry lightly. Eventually, Dad decided to lighten the mood.
