PSAIG. Please stay away I'm Gay! Book 1

Growing Up

We left Kibbles to rest for a while and then went to see Ki as Ren and I had just been told that she had woken up. We walked from my residence to one that was close by. Ki was in a room that was rather similar to mine but it was a lot less furnished. There was just a bed and a side table.

Ki was laying down on the bed, her chest and stomach wrapped in a bandage. Ren leaned on the table while I crouched down on the side of the bed. Ki was looking away from us and had not spoken since we walked in.

" Ki, I am really glad to see you awake, are you feeling okay," I said as gently as I could.

Ki turned her head to look at me a complicated expression on her face. She, Ren and I said nothing for a while before she finally spoke.

" Young master... I am sure you have realised that I have hidden some things from you..." She said as her voice became quieter and quieter towards the end.

" Like the fact that you are a one-woman army? " I said in response bluntly.

Ren who was still leaning on the table stifled a laugh.

Ki then looked at Ren and shot him a death glare before looking back at me.

" I guess you could say that " she laughed nervously.

" Are you angry?" She said after a moment.

[ Angry? That is what she was worried about? ]

" Ki, I am sure you had your reasons. I am young and I don't need to know everything yet. I am sure when you are ready you will tell me." I responded.

She looked at me with a strange expression before laughing a little and patting my head.

[ I guess being this mature in a ten-year-olds body probably seems weird ]

" Plus who can say they have a famous mercenary that serves them breakfast. I.. am really lucky to have you Ki" I said honestly.

" Young master! " the look on her face beamed to her usual high spirited self. She then nodded before a stern look came across her face.

" Now that you know, no more running off and playing hero okay! If you dare do something so stupid again I will tell Ishi to make you some more porridge, you got it?" She said before she paused.

" You may think that you have learned a lot but you were just lucky this time! Worse comes to worse, I will give up my life so that you can live. Your family is responsible for the safety of the entire country, remember that!" She huffed angrily

Her words hit me like a tonne of bricks and my stomach sank. I sat there pondering the responsibility that I had been born into, the soldiers that admired my family and what Delta and Kelt said about Vance.

Here my family are considered heroes that had saved our country from destruction during the war. In Vance, however, my family are the equivalent of monsters that ruined the livelihoods of many. I put my head down.

" It is sad to say young master but there will always be more mercenaries like me and more soldiers like Ren but there is only one Aikyo family!" She continued.

" YOU ARE WRONG!" I lifted my head and snapped.

Ki had looked at me tilting her head to the side in confusion.

[ Nobody's life is so cheap! ]

" There may be many soldiers and mercenaries but there will never be another Ren and there will never be another you," I said as my voice broke.

" You are my precious friends!" I looked at her and said determinedly.

" I.. may not understand war.. I may not understand what happened in Vance but I do know that you and everyone else around me are irreplaceable! Don't think you can be thrown away!" I said as my hands turned into fists at my side.
