Chapter 9

Kaito gazed at the rest of the room from the corner he sat in, his mind was playing the event that happened not a few days ago wondering if he was going crazy, or that Shinichi really came back, came back as a different person, with a different name, and different life, and deep down, Kaito wondered if this was all just a dream and that he will wake up from it, more heartbroken and pained than he was when he went to sleep.

But Kaito knows that was not true, he knows that Shinichi and his father were back not a few days ago, that his mother spent the last three days bonding with his father in their house, and that she sent him pictures of his father as much as the two of them can when they weren't busy sucking each other faces, which was kinda disgusting thinking of his parents like that, especially when one of his parents were supposed dead for more than half of his life.

The cooing made the Omega raise his head, giving a small tired smile for one of his doves that came and perched on his knee, and the Omega raised his hand which made the dove hope on his fingers cocking its head, and letting out a content coos when Kaito starts petting its head with a wobbling smile. "What am I going to do Tama?" Kaito asked as he leaned on the wall behind him sniffing, his breath hitching, the shock of meeting Shinichi three days ago has finally left, leaving fear and pain and uncertainty and confusion painting his way. "He… he is alive, Tama, after all these years, he was alive…" The dove cooed and tilted its head, looking at him with a dark eye making the Omega laugh. "You are right; maybe I should talk to him…" Kaito breathed which made his dove flap its wings before flying to join the other doves.

The sound of knocking on the door made the Omega blink, and stand up, wondering who will come to his shop when it was known that the shop was close for the day when Kaito reached the shop's front door, he prepared himself and opened the door, nearly shrieking when he was pushed inside by an insane-looking Heiji as the man panted for dear life, looking at the Omega like he was a few seconds from losing his mind. "K-Kudou is alive!" The Alpha's voice cracked as he said those words, and Kaito let out a tired sigh when he heard them. "You saw him, right?" The plea in Heiji's voice made the Omega give a sad smile as he nodded his head, which made the strength leave Heiji's body as he leaned on the glass door behind him.

"I will make tea…" Kaito offered, which made the Alpha nod his head, before following the Omega on his shaky legs, when the two were finally seated in the small dining table, Heiji seemed deep in thoughts, he didn't react even when Kaito pour him his tea, and the Omega let the Alpha think, taking the time to regroup as he sipped his tea.

"He… they told me he is a Shirosaki now…" Heiji spoke after a while, breaking Kaito from his deep thoughts, his words made the Omega swallow and close his eyes before letting out a quiet 'Yes' causing Heiji to inhale sharply. "I… I don't know what to say… I don't know if I'm more shocked about him being a Yakuza, or him knowing the Shinigami's true identity…" Heiji whispered taking a sip from his teacup, trying to busy himself more than wanting to drink the tea, for the hot drink tasted like bitter ashes in his mouth. "How are you holding up?" Heiji asked in concern, knowing that it was a big shock for the Omega, his mate and late father returned to the land of living not three days ago.

"I don't know…" Kaito finally answered, putting his cup down, bitterness starts pooling in his heart once again, the thought of the last eight years made something inside of Kaito twist in pain, and the Omega was left wondering if he was losing his mind slowly. "He is… different… not the Shinichi we knew, and I'm not sure he will ever be the man we once knew… on one hand, he is a Yakuza, on the other… his family did more good along with the bad… more good than bad in the last year, but still… he is a stranger…" Kaito whispered his words like they were a forbidden secret to share, but he has to share it, he has to get it off his chest or else.

"No one will fault you if you don't want to get back with him, you know that, right?" Heiji questioned which made the Omega blink and turn his gaze to the Alpha, making the Alpha give him a brotherly smile. "Nearly eight years have passed, a lot of time pass, and we changed, our hearts changed, and every day, people move on, and it's in your right to move on, if you decided that you are not interested in him and that you wanted to pursue another relationship, we are here to protect you if you decided to do that." Heiji explained which gain a nod from the Omega who frowns like he was in deep thought. "But…" Heiji started once again when he saw the hesitation painting the Omega's face, his words gained the Omega's attention. "That is the easy choice, now the hard choice, is you deciding to open your heart once again to a strange person who used to be your mate, a person who wears the face of an old lover, it's hard, and not easy, and will be so painful at times because when you expected him to act a certain way, he will act a different way…" That made the Omega's lips twitch up.

"You have become wise, huh?" Kaito joked, trying to lighten the mood, getting a snort from the man and an eye roll, causing the Omega to smile. "He… he is still the same in a way… but scarier, he perfected his glare of doom." That got a laugh from Heiji as the Alpha tried to catch his breath, as much as it was scary thinking about Shinichi mastering his glare of doom, it was actually reassuring to see that he still has the same look…

They spent the day catching up…

Kaito finally gathered his courage to knock on the door, his heart was pounding so loudly in his chest he thought that it was about to escape, especially when the door opened, showing his smiling mother, and Kaito had to pause at that, because since when did he see his mother smile so carefree like this?

The last time Kaito remembered his mother smiling happily was before the show that his father gets kidnapped on, even when Kaito presented as an Omega, his mother as much as she acted happily, she spent that night crying while holding a picture of his father, reprimand his father for not being there when Kaito presented.

"So, you finally came to annoy your Tou-San!" His mother said with a happy laugh, and Kaito gave a strained smile that turned genuine when he saw the woman glowing with happiness, and the Omega wondered if he will ever find happiness like that again.

"Hi, Okaa-San, how are you doing? Spent any of Tou-San hard earn money, again?" Kaito joked, which made his mother giggle at that and skipped inside the room, this joke was theirs, ever since his mother starts traveling and the two of them use it and hearing his mother laughing at it, made happiness warm itself inside Kaito.

"Kai-Chan! How are you doing on this fine day?" Toichi waved happily when he saw Kaito, which made the Omega wave shyly toward the Alpha, not knowing how to act around his father who has been absent for twenty years. "You came to ask about Shinichi-Kun, right?" His father questioned with a knowing smile which made the Omega pause a little before nodding his head.

"How… how did you meet him?" Kaito finally asked after gathering himself, which gained him a tired smile from his father, as the older Alpha pointed to the sofa beside him, making the Omega takes a seat as he gazed at the old man, hope shining in his eyes.

"He saved me…" Toichi finally spoke, after he gathered his thought, turning to Kaito, wondering how he was going to tell his son that his mate was the feared Shinigami. "He sent the Shinigami to save me, a family's friend was kidnapped, and the Shinigami was task with saving him, and I was there, instead of leaving me for the BO, he decided I was worth saving and brought me back to the Shirosaki's mansion, where Shinichi took care of me, hired doctors to treat me… and threat me that he will shoot my ass if I didn't go to the therapy, he even promised me that he will help me find my family again… I never thought that he was Yuusaku's lost son, and never thought that he was your mate… though I should have known, the two of you had that strange chemistry, even when the only time you meet was at the kids' park." Toichi chuckled, which made Kaito press his lips into a tight line, but he took the teacup from his mother thanking her.

"But he is a Shirosaki… and… the Shinigami is a criminal, how can you just… just ignore it?" Kaito asked desperately, making the smile on his father's face vanish, though there was an understanding in his father's eyes, which made him relax a little.

"Kaito… I think that's a little hypocrite for you to say… especially when we are a family of thieves…" Those words made Kaito lower his head and bite his bottom lip, his face flush with embarrassment at what his father pointed out to him, which made him squirm a little. "The Shinigami… Shinichi… they are both following the path their family made for them, Shinichi, as much as he was Yuusaku's he is now a Shirosaki, he doesn't follow the rules that's true, but he did more good than bad ever since he became the head of the family… the Shinigami… he is the person who is forced to show himself to the public, taking in the hate, raising the fearful reputation, the Shinigami's word is a law, in the criminal world and in the real-life, and you can see that never once did the Shinigami killed an innocent life, he only took out rapist, serial killer, the people no one can take without losing their lives… personally, I think that the Shinigami was the one who spread those dark rumors about himself, just to scare the underground world into obeying him and stop hurting the innocent." Toichi explained gently making Kaito wiped under his eyes, trying to reign in his tears, his emotions were a jumbling mess, that the young man can't control.

"Then what am I supposed to do? Go back to him like nothing changes?" Kaito's voice cracked as he said those words, making Toichi give him a soft look and open his arms, making Kaito shake in his place before standing up, throwing himself in his father's embrace when he reached the man.

"It's your choice Kaito, if you wanted to move on, Shinichi will understand, he always does, he is not the type to hold something against you, he will understand and will let you go, if you wanted to stay with him, it's your choice, right now, the two of you are strangers, you are not the teenagers you were eight years ago, you are grown up, with different interests, different jobs, different lives, it's up to you two to meet in the middle and work it out, but to do that, you have to take the first step to acceptance." Toichi said gently to the young man in his arms, which got him a sob from the Omega as he hides his face in the Alpha's neck

He was scared…

Shinichi breathed a sigh of relief when they landed in the airport; it has been a week since he finally found his mate, a week since he had to leave, knowing that he wouldn't be appreciated if he stayed while the Omega was unbalanced as he was at that moment, so Shinichi stayed away while ordering his men to gather as much information as they can about Kaito, being impressed all the while with the information he got.

The week he spent in Germany was challenging, because more than once the Alpha wanted to hop on his private jet and fly back Tokyo, wanting to see the Omega and explain to him what happened in the past years the two of them spent apart, wanting to pull the Omega back in his arms and refuse to let him go, promising him everything and anything.

The walk with his family to the waiting hall was spent with his sister and mother chattering about the sight the saw in Germany and their extended family they had the pleasure to meet, Shinichi, only nodded his head at the words he was hearing giving a soft smile that widen at his mother's laugh when his sister said something funny.

"Kaito…" Shinichi breathed, happiness taking hold of him, the thought of the Omega waiting for him made his heart flutter in content, though all the hope he felt dashed when he saw the Omega's hard face, and that more than ever prepared him for the next words that will decide his fate…

"We need to talk, Shinichi…"

So what do you think?

Shortest chapter I wrote? Yes, it is, yes is it… hopefully the next will be a long one…

Hmmm, I only realized it now after finishing this chapter, but we are more than halfway done with the story!

Shocking I know, but it prepares me for the next one!

I have two Shinkai stories I want to publish next!

The first one is a horror story! There is no horror story in this fandom only one when I searched high and low, and I sower to myself I will be the one to write the second one.

The other story is actually inspired by this one! But in the next story, our little Shinigami will meet Kaitou Kid! An adventure between two criminals who fell in love! Yes, it's identity porn, and yes, it's also an A/B/O story with Omega Kaito!
