The Forbidden Fruit

You Aren't Worth Anything To Me Part 2

(What I imagine Kanji to look like at nineteen. No the art isn't mine. Please remember all of these are temps until I can an artists to do actual portraits for all of them.)

Kanji's POV

Everyone who was standing in group were helping Aiden up. While Zero and Toshiba held me back from trying to kill Aiden. He spat blood out and glared at me. His group went from helping him up to holding him back.

"YOU DUMB STUPID TRAM-"

I spat at him and it landed in his eye causing him to scream and start thrashing. I smirked and started trying to shake Zero and Toshiba off me.

"LET ME GO! THAT FUCKING ASSHOLE HAD IT COMING!"

Toshiba struggled to keep a hold on me and to speak.

"I KNOW KANJI. Trust me. I do. But doing this will not help at all. It'll only make it worse. We've gotta find a different way to do this."

I calmed down slowly and she let go of me. Zero held me still for I don't know why I assumed it was cause he was scared I'd lose my shit again. Aiden also calmed down and one of his companions spoke.

"Look at how violent she is. Aiden's right. We should kick them out!"

Toshiba growled causing that companion to hide behind another. I stood there pissed as they murmured amongst themselves while staring at me like I was an animal on display at the zoo. I shook Toshiba off me and spoke with no but pure rage.

"If it wasn't for my mother. A GENSHINA. Aiden would've fucking died. Zero, Toshiba, Toshino, and more would've DIED. She saved them. So I beg to differ on the circumstances of us staying. We aren't leaving, and there isn't shit you can do to make us."

Silence took over them. And they all looked guilty. They knew I was right. They were being ungrateful. Their future rulers were safe because of my mother. She saved us told us where to go and protected us till her dying breath.

I glared at them while panting. Zero who had let go of me during my speech sighed.

"She's right. As the half sovereign as long as he agrees to it the other Genshina can stay here in hell for as long as they need."

Aiden side eyed his brother. He knew what he had meant. Their father had spilt the powers when they came back to make it even. But because of Aiden's erratic behavior only Zero inherited half of the throne. Aiden's half still resides with their father.

"You know keeping them here will only lead to a war."

Aiden glared at his brother while spitting those words out angrily.

I glared back at Aiden.

"The only one who wants a war is You."

He scoffed and spat blood out of his mouth on to the ground.

"Then pray to your Pathetic god that it never happens. Afterall.... He may be able to protect you now... but you aren't worth anything to me."

His words were laced with Venom. And so was his stare. He looked back at his brother before walking away with the group that followed him before. Toshiba took a deep breath and then sighed.

"That.... Could've.... went worse... right?"

Zero raised an eyebrow unimpressed and shook his head.

"Kanji. We need to talk."

Zero stared at me with a harsh serious look. I sighed and ran my fingers through my hair. I nodded and looked up at him.
