Life

1 week later

"Hey mom I'm going to head out to get some groceries!" I called out from the living room

"Okay be safe!" she yelled back

I left the house and drove around to places getting some food for my mom. But while I was driving around I saw a glasses store so I parked the car and went in.

"Hello sir how may I help you?" he asked

"Can you take off these lenses and put on some fake ones?" I asked

Without question he nodded and handed me my glasses. I put them on and drove off back home.

I began unloading my car and when I opened the door I saw two pairs of shoes that didn't belong to us.

"Mom?" I called out

I entered the living but I saw two people sitting on the couch and I nearly dropped the groceries I was holding.

"What the fuck are you two doing here?" I asked

Lydia and Kishimoto were sitting in my couch drinking some tea.

"Ryu you made friends, this is a start! I'm so proud of you!" excitedly said my mom

"Wait mom they're-"

"Thank you for being friends with Ryu. He never had friends before so I thank you for coming." my mom cuts me

"Oh it's nothing." chuckled Kishimoto

"I'll grab some bread and snacks for you." said my mom

She takes my groceries leaving me dumbfounded.

"How the hell did you find me here?" I asked

"We're MVA you can't hide from us unless you're Demon." said Kishimoto

"What do you want?" I asked

"Why did you leave?" asked Lydia

"I don't want to be a part of this. So I left." I replied

"Is it because of me?" she asked

"Well that's part of the reason but not entirely." I replied, "Plus I have feeling for her."

"How can you still have feelings for her when she tortured you in such a cruel way?" asked Kishimoto

I didn't know how to answer that question.

"Maybe because she treated me well." I replied

"She killed so many Ryus." said Lydia

"Look I'm not like any of your 22 Ryus, I think they were careless when they tried to interpret Demon's plans." I said, "She showed me what happened the day earth prime Ryu was killed. He could have lived."

Lydia got mad and got up but Kishimoto grabbed her arm, stopping her.

"Let's not have someone else get involved." whispered Kishimoto

I looked towards my mom who was busy cutting fruits for us.

"Look, I'm not returning back to the MVA." I said, "I'll write down her plans and that'll be it."

Lydia then suddenly grabs my hands and starts tearing up.

"Ryu I'm sorry I didn't tell you. But please come back, you'll be safe with us." she pleaded

"Hey hey, calm down. I'll be fine, don't worry about me too much." I said, "If I need help, I would like to contact you or the MVA which I don't know how to but you know."
