“...Go away. I don’t want to tell more to you...” Edward held his arm. “... Fine... If you’ll leave me alone. I’ll talk.”
Edward after watching the fight helped Aku move out of the house to where Edward was gonna possibly live at one day. “...Brother... Thank you.” Edward looked at Aku as they put the last of the furniture in. “No need to thank me little bro.” Aku smiled a bit at him and put his hand on the top of his head. “I’m not gonna let anyone hurt you.” Edward smiled a bit and gave Aku a hug. “I’ll see you tomorrow morning hopefully.”
The next few weeks went by kinda normally. Aku would come and cook food for the Benson family in the morning and would then go back home to do his own thing. “Edward.” Vincent looked at his son. “Y-Yes father? What is it?” Edward looked back at him. “It’s time to get your own mask and join the sirens.” Vincent looked at him. “...Oh... Alright...” Vincent stood up. “Something wrong with that boy?” Edward then shook his head “...No sir...” Truth be told Edward wanted nothing to do with the companies but Vincent kinda told him he would be one.
The target was simple. A drug dealer who had killed a man who’s family wanted revenge. Edward set himself up in a position near where the man normally did some deals. Edward walked out as the man looked at him. “Hey kid. Want some candy?” The dealer said the Edward approached him. Edward started singing softly. The man started getting wobbly. “W-What are you... D-Doing to ...meee.” Edward continued sing softly until the man was dead. “...Are you proud? Father?”
“...My story? It’s not happy. There is nothing good about it.” Aku looked ahead.
Aku’s life was a horrible one in childhood. Abducted from his family at a very young age and the family he was put in to treated him like a slave. The “Brother” he had was kind to him and kept trying to get him out of it but he couldn’t get him out.
His “Father” glared at Aku. He was now 17 and had been beating to a pulp by the “father” he knew. “Aku-no. You are becoming a siren today. Do you understand your job?” Aku looked up at him. Spitting blood out of his mouth. “Y-Yes father... I’m to kill the target as you said. Earn my wings and work under you to protect Edward.” The man smiled. “Good boy. Now go do the damn job!” Aku stood up and bow to him. “Yes sir.” He walked away and walked past Edward. “Brother! I-I’m so sorry father is treating you this way.” Aku smiled a bit. “Look kid. As long as you are safe. I will be ok with anything that happens.” Aku then ran off to do his job. “My target is... Wait... This man is just a kind man to his family... He does nothing wrong? This isn’t what the boss would want... I’m... I’m sorry.” Aku dropped down and took the man by the throat and started to sing. The man kept shaking to free himself. “l-let me g-go!” Aku crushed the man’s throat and continued to sing. It only took a few minutes before the man’s life faded away. Aku stood infront of the corpse and had his wings appear. A bright red with golden tips on the feathers. “..I’m sorry... But my father asked for this.” He said as he looked at the body. “I’m so sorry.”
