Hi everyone I hope you enjoyed the last chapter. Here's another one :)
________________________________________________
Daichi after three days had passed since the last time he confronted Hakai about the people he killed, had refused the yukata yet again. Knowing that even if he did keep it and try to sell it, it would leave Hakai curious as to why Daichi was acting like that. He would also wonder why the sudden change of heart even when the red head would have taken it the moment he was given it.
Daichi as he grew up to be a wild fox however had a code, never to kill needlessly unless it was provoked or the need for secrecy had to come first. Some of his code now changed to no killing unless it there was a reason, why? It was for Yuuki and Hana that he would change so easily but he didn't want Hana to know. No she was the innocent party, she didn't know about his terrible deeds and that was how he wanted it to be.
But it was getting harder to refuse his brother's 'gift', it did seem odd that Hakai would just keep bugging him over something like this. Most of the time he would let it go, but not this time to his dismay. Daichi slowly started to get worried, wondering what would happen if he kept refusing his brother's 'gift' after all his brother often allowed him to be the exception in regards to having his own way. And to his dismay he had to distance himself from Yuuki and Hana for a while, until his brother would cool off and allow him peace. It was long and nerve wrecking but it would work eventually, it was just a waiting game that he would often have to play in order to be left alone.
Daichi soon started to realise that Hana and Yuuki were slowly starting to change him from the inside out, naturally he would have been happy and accepted this change with open arms. But then there was Hakai to consider, he without a doubt would not take kindly to this and would try to find the reason for his brother's sudden change of mood and heart before destroying it without a shadow of a doubt. After all to Hakai Daichi was a ruthless wild yōkai who was always there and went into battles alongside him. However now these kind of things had left him feeling like they were pointless and dull.
There was no doubt that Hakai would try and do what ever he could to get Daichi back to the way he was before, which was something Daichi personally would not take kindly.
Even though he was happy to see Hana face to face, he still didn't feel completely satisfied. Why? Because the red head was hardly able to a word out without her freaking out and alerting her mother about him, then again he doubted that Hana wouldn't be able to say much since it had happened so fast.
A month had passed and Hana would still refuse to come out. Not without her mother with her which had left him sad if not disappointed. After all he couldn't just peek into the house thanks to the barrier and he had tried- multiple times, however sometime after he had located them he had once been rash and tried to enter the house without their knowledge. Only the moment that he had touched the windowsill did he receive a nasty burn and shock at the same time leaving the kitsune utterly surprised. Especially from how strong the barrier was, or maybe it was to do with how powerful her need was to protect Hana from danger he wasn't sure. But what Daichi was sure was that this could most only hold off Hakai for so long before he would find away to smash the barrier to pieces, not caring if he had killed anyone who had been too close to the barrier- maybe except him of course after all he was close to Hakai in a brotherly manner. But that wouldn't mean that he would spare Hana and Yuuki, no they would be as good as dead which didn't sit well with Daichi.
Daichi sighed as he watched Yuuki peek her head out the house before letting Hana out, only she was wearing her usual cloak in order to hide her ears. Did Yuuki not know that Hana could use leaves to disguise herself? He didn't know but that cloak could only do so much before the villagers would start to get suspicious, which could mean that they would have to leave unless something had been done. Daichi frowned knowing that he wanted to help Hana but he couldn't risk being known, he was content with them being in his line of sight despite the fact that he wanted more. It was so irritating and frustrating! They were just in front of him and yet he could do nothing.
