Chapter 97 - A Message To You My Son.

''Awwww!''. Everybody says as Togata smiles.

''That's cute kid''. Seiko says.

''Takakura maybe you and I could have something like that one day''. Aira says lovingly.

''Haha....''. Okarun replies not fully answering.

''Well you've got the craziness down ya skank''. Momo comments. ''No offence to your mom Togata''.

''None taken''. Togata replies.

''Shut it Ayase!''. Aira says.

''Keep reading what does it say?''. Jiji asks.

Togata continues reading. 

''A lot happened after that, too much to put into a book, I think I will tell you one day when you're older...But the important thing is how you come to this world...After years of trying I and your mother tried to have a child, but to no avail. Many of your brothers and sisters died before giving birth. You see vampire birth is something no possible with female vampires and it had almost never been done before except in a few cases and all hope seemed lost''.

''I bought and read many books on how to solve this but all roads ended in frustration, every time she managed to get pregnant your siblings would feed on her causing her to become too weak, even to feed them and they would die...But your mother refused to give up on her dream of having her own family, and had an Idea one day, she gave herself tiny amounts of cyanide in order to weaken the babies it seemed to be working, but she still couldn't carry to full term, that's until we had you''.

''You see every vampire has a different power, some are stronger than others some have incredible supernatural abilities and some are more resilient, like you my boy, you managed to survive although you mother was so weak, but she was so happy and when you were born, and you were so cute...''.

Togata cringes as he smiles.

''While leaving the hospital in a hurry to escape suspicion even though we covered you in a blanket we accidently let light touch you, I read that a newborn half vampire must undergo a ritual to keep and control their vampire side and they cannot be touched by light for 72 hours or it will seal away your power unfortunately it seemed to have damaged your cornea as well, I was glad you had your mom's eyesight not mine, because it seemed becoming a vampire couldn't fix mine, but in the end you have been cursed with bad eyesight such as mine''.

''So that's why you have glasses''. Jiji laughs.

''Seems so''. Tick replies.

Togata continues reading.

''According to the book there is no way to undo it, but I'm sure that is untrue, this world is full of opportunities and if you somehow manage to unlock it without us being present I want you to know that maybe it was even for your own good although our carelessness allowed it, and I know you will be angry because we didn't allow you to have cool vampire powers when you were younger''.

''Psh!''. Momo says bursting into laughter.

Togata laughs as he keeps reading.

''I also just want to give you a piece of advice my son, I know you will achieve great things but don't forget to keep your humanity, be the caring person we raised you to be, and if you manage to undo the ritual you will become someone very strong but I don't want you to become intoxicated with your new powers as I did, when you have the ability to do so much harm, people tend to stop counting heads and start counting groups, never allow yourself to be blinded to the importance of a single human life, and in the end if you do find yourself in the same position I was in, open up, be yourself and do not run from help and maybe you will close allies or even find a significant other of your own...P.S make sure to introduce her to use soon enough, or your mom will kill both of us''.

''Do not worry mister Toriyama! His significant other will only be the best! I will guide your son till the day I breathe my last breath!''. Tick declares dramatically.

Togata sits there calmly re-reading the words multiple times.

''So your power was sealed...But then, how do we unseal it?''. Jiji says.

''Well we have to find a way, Death said something about if he wanted to get stronger he would have to discover himself''. Okarun points out.

''Well what do you think Togata?''. Seiko asks.

Togata sits quietly sighing.

''What is the matter young master?''. Tick asks.

Suddenly Togata gets up and heads outside.

''Huh?''. Everybody asks as they follow him.

He stands in the yard doing push ups and sit ups.

''What are you doing?''. Momo asks.

''I understand it now''. Togata says still doing the exercises.

''The hell is wrong with you?''. Aira asks.

''I get it, my dad was right''. Togata replies.

''It seems he has gone mad''. Kinta comments.

''What do you mean?''. Okarun asks.

''Do you remember mister Minato? When he woke up I immediately put my scythe to his neck, If not miss Seiko stopped me, I would end him without hesitation, sending him to the void, without even hearing his side of the story''. Togata explains as he keeps working out.

Tick flies closer, already helping him.

''Yeah, that was a close one''. Momo replies.

''But it goes even further. This power, Death said something about keeping balance, and recently there's been a lot of reports going around about yokai and mysterious death's not to mention the recent alien invasion, without us, who knows how many casualties there would have been? But I've noticed something, a pattern, spirits and aliens kill humans, the humans die with regrets causing them to become yokai themselves, killing more people''. Togata says as he pants training.

''I see young master! You are right, I do not see an overpopulation problem as Death spoke of''. Tick says.

''Yeah...Cause it's an underpopulation problem!''. Okarun deduces.

Kinta poses as he thinks. ''Yes I see, Grim Reaper keeps the balance, so when there is a need for them, it seems this Death fellow elects a new Grim Reaper''.

''Exactly, and that's what I'm here for...I think he wants me to kill humans before they become yokai but, if I just end the yokai and aliens that are causing the death's...It should do the same thing, balanced restored''. Togata explains.

''Woah, I get it, like a loophole''. Jiji says.

''But what about you? What happened to being freed from this damn contract!? If you die you take his place you know?!''. Aira points out.

''The plan is still there, but...This power, and what my Dad wrote, this isn't a coincidence, I refuse to believe that''. Togata says.

''So what's the plan kid''. Seiko asks.

''Save the world using his power, undo the sealing ritual to unlock my full potential and kick some ass''. Togata says with a smirk.

''I love that fire Togata''. Seiko says.

''So basically you want to fight spirits and aliens, what we've been doing already?''. Aira says.

''Yep, but with intention this time, before we let the Serpo and spirits come to us...Now I'll hunt them''. Togata replies.

''Well you can count on us''. Okarun says.

''Of course I can''. Togata says with a smile.

''But why would Death tell you? I'm sure he knew you would figure this out''. Momo says.

''Yeah, but I have a feeling that he wanted me to, choose my own path. When I got a hang of this power he seemed happy, maybe he's playing the villain for some reason''. Togata says.

''Like?''. Kinta asks.

''No idea, but all I know is I have to listen to what my Dad told me, I forgot the reason I came here, to help people, I'll become someone he can be proud of, I swear it''. Togata says with determination.

''So you figured all this out from your Dad basically giving you dating advice?!''. Aira asks.

''Yeah....guess so''. Togata replies.

''Ugh show off''. Aira says.

''Well protecting people from all spirits and aliens won't be easy kid''. Seiko says.

''That's why I'm training, I'll need to get stronger than this''. Togata says squatting and standing as Tick spots him.

Jiji rushes over as he starts training with Togata. ''Well, then let's start training!''.

Okarun comes over as well and starts doing the reps as well.

''I believe you could use my assistance!''. Kinta says coming over struggling with the simple cardio.

''Yeah...I agree but I'm not doing that''. Aira says.

''Same here''. Momo replies as the two stand there condescendingly.

''Training!''. Vamola shouts with a fist in the air as she heads over to the guys training as well.

''I'll need to work more on combat, Okarun, Jiji, let's spar!''. Togata says.

''Yes!''. Okarun and Jiji reply as Okarun, transforms and Jiji takes an offensive stance.

''A fellow like myself could participate!''. Vamola says raising a hand as her kaiju suit deactivates camo mode and she looks like a kaiju once again.

''Sorry Vamola but this is serious''. Jiji says.

''Yeah, I know you're strong when you turn big with your kaiju suit but what can you do at normal size?''. Togata asks.

''A fellow like myself is strong!''. Vamola says as rushes forward and punches Togata right into the shrine house as it is destroyed.

''AHHHH!''. Everyone screams.

''Vamola why did you do that!?''. Okarun shouts panicking.

''YOUNG MASTER!''. Tick shouts.

''Togata dude!? Are you Ok!?''. Jiji shouts.

Togata comes out from the rubble injured but smiling. ''Ok, I stand corrected Vamola, you can join in too''.

''Hmmph!''. Vamola grunts with determination as she puts her hands in the air in triumph.

''I am not dealing with this''. Aira says as she goes inside, Momo following after.

''You're gonna have to pay for that Togata!''. Seiko says as she enters the house as well.

The group of six meets in the middle as they chant.

''Training! Training! Training!''. Togata, Tick, Okarun, Jiji, Kinta and Vamola shout in determination.
