The One Bathed in White (DxD)

Oh Daughter of Mine

Y/N observed his abused body with indignation. So lost in his thought's he didn't hear the sound of the wooden door opening until he heard a gasp. Startled he turned quickly and saw one of the only people who he didn't want to see him like this, Kunou. Quickly he covered his body up with it's usual facade, this time also covering his new scar. But the damage was already done, Kunou had saw them.

Y/N manifested a white shirt over his torso before he turned to Kunou, wanting to try and move past this without her saying anything.

"Kunou right? Your Yasaka's daughter."

He said, playing dumb awkwardly fiddling with his thumbs. He was supposed to be some ancient slayer, a fearsome warrior who had killed thousand's if not millions of people. But here he was feeling nervous in front of a little girl. He looked over the girl who was his daughter, she looked so much like her mother and Y/N couldn't be happier. She was beautiful.

While Y/N was happy to see Kunou, the young girl was just worried. She had heard that White was dying, or at least close to death and now she just saw his entire body covered in scars...it scarred her.

"A-are you okay White?"

 Y/N chuckled, "Yes, I'm okay. Better than okay really." Y/N hadn't felt this happy in year's, the pain he was feeling a distant memory in the current moment.

Kunou was doubtful about what he was saying, based on what she knew he was anything but okay. However if White didn't want to tell her something she couldn't make him, that was her mother's job. Kunou walked further into the room and hopped on the bed Y/N was laying on and let her leg's dangle off the side. Y/N watched this movement and was confused, however his gut told him to just roll with it and sit besides her.

The two sat in silence, Y/N feeling turmoil because he didn't know what he should say. Should he start with telling her he's her dad? Should he talk about something else and ease into it? Should he just wait until Yasaka gets here and then decide what to do? So many actions he could take, but the decision wasn't up to him.

"You're my dad aren't you?"

Y/N felt the breath be sucked from his chest, looking over at Kunou with nervousness. He had already made a bad impression on Kunou, from her position it looked like he made her mom cry, not to mention nearly dying right after. He was worried if he said yes that she would tell him that he can leave. That she doesn't want to see him.

Kunou watched White's eyes, she was a perceptive child and could see the fear and nervousness that arose whenever he looked at her. Though she wasn't hurt by it, she could feel the love he held for her as well, along with the love between her mom and him. She didn't know why she could tell this, but ever since she had met Aphrodite it was like love made itself known to her. It was a weird feeling.

"Uh...yeah...yeah I'm your dad."

Kunou nodded her head, she had finally confirmed her suspicion. 

"Mom's talked about you a lot over the years. About "White the Slayer, hero of the Great War."

Kunou said expressionally, moving her hand's around as if to show how her mom inflated his tales.

"She uhm, never said directly that you were my dad but overtime as she kept telling stories and as I grew older it became more obvious why she was telling me these things."

Hearing that Y/N could feel tear's well up in his eyes, he tried to wipe them away but they just kept coming. Knowing Kunou was watching he started to apologize, but his words died in his throat when Kunou embraced him. His daughter embraced him for the first time. Y/N instantly returned the gesture, hugging her tight to him.
