⚠️ warning there be some blood talk and bad past if don't like don't read ⚠️

Michelle walked ahead as Senku walked behind her deep inside the woods neither said a word. Even if he wanted to start the conversation he was hushed by Michelle's dead serious gaze and kept on walking till they reached a clearing. Nothing was heard but the night creatures yet she still keep a sharp gaze using her night vision. Not till she knew everything was 100% safe did she make a dimensional barrier one that was not bound by time or space, it amazed him seeing such power as it incase them in the clearing making it look like they where in the nebula galaxy.

Much as he admire this power he looked at Michelle seeing how her face didn't changed and then he too became serious once more. "Senku... I know you wouldn't ask me for a talk the way you did unless it was necessary... so out with it " cold and sharp was heard in her voice which almost frightened him but pushed it aside. "I hardly know you do I?... The girl I knew is not the girl I see before me. You're the same as Pandora's box chain with secrets. So I ask you as a friend... as a form of family. I need to know exactly who and what you are."

This shocked her but then again as she looked side ways she sigh thinking to her self. -Should I tell him... then again he might find out sooner or later and the last thing I want is for him to think I'll do any harm. Senku...- looking back at him almost saddened she snapped her fingers making two wood chairs come from the ground along with a table to sit down then Senku followed her as he too sat down.
"As you know I'm not human, I'm a guardian... that is true yet I think there's something more specific you want to know." She asked as he slightly nod "What's this about you and the church and when it comes to marriage."

Michelle only lightly narrow her eyes seeing how he said it she knew Ruth said something but not completely. "I see..." sighing a bit and getting up her eyes turn green as 4 shadow figured heads came one that looks like they say high on there chairs judge anyone for a trial. "the 4 main houses of the top church leaders. The first is house Blue Rose. Second house black Wolf fang... I won't explain the others for now those 2 are the main target of this conversation." She explain as he nod to understand.

"As explain the church wanted my family to serve under them keeping a strict rule alongside side monitor us... the church makes us marry whom they think will not only benefit them but also keep the power balance stable. They do take our personality preference into account so they give us files of our future spouse...on the surface they seem good hearted but in reality they just want to be contain."

As she explain more both house holds came close to them along with a shadow of herself that showed more like her and another of a girl which was her sister but her face can't be seen. "me and my sis where the strongest of the children of the 3 who where born of grandmother's kids... the church frightened maid a plan. That me and her must be bounded to 1 house hold as there personal guardians..." she said that last part with venom yet Senku kept quite and keeps listening.

"My sis went to house blue Rose, as guardian she takes care the main family... last I knew she was taking care there sick daughter and as for me... I was placed in Black wolf fang... how ever I get the feeling I place in that house do to petty reasons... still they restricted our movements even further and orders are absolute even I can't say no even if I want too." As she kept explaining her insides became warm her body almost shaking in anger. Even the center of her eyes almost glowed red but lightly. Even with anger filled her lungs she pushed it as deep down as she could.

"We live longer so we will be serving next generations of the house hold. And if we want to marry only the top 4 can choose who we can... we can't just marry anyone unless we want to be like my Aunt." This took his interest as he looked at her, her eyes showed sadness as she make more shadows. A woman and man along with 3 children.
