"F..Father?" Himawari says with a shock. "What are you doing here in the dojo? I thought you was out with mom running errands?" Himawari responds with hesitation in her voice. "We were, until one of our guards alerted us that we had guest in the family dojo." Himawari's Father says as he walks to Debiddo, analyzing him. "What? What guard alerted you?" "Helloooo" Guard 3 says stupidly as he waves his hand in the air. "Dang it Ed! this is why you always sit in the quiet room during dinner time!" Himawari says scolding him. "Umm, it seems like she gets her attitude from her father." Debiddo says as he whispers to Oshiro. "You're right Debiddo" Oshiro responds back. "and here I thought members of the Fujin clan are a bunch of air heads" "Enough" Himawari's father says waving his hand in the air causing a large gust of wind. The air was thick with the anticipation of not knowing what would happen next. "Himawari Fujin.." Her Father says in a stern tone. "Yes...father?" Himawari responds. "Why..." Her father says with much intimidation. "Why...Didn't you tell me you was having friends over?" To atmosphere went from a thick feeling of unease to that of relief and light-heartedness. "Hello, you two" Himawari's father said while bowing to both Debiddo and Oshiro out of respect. "No,no,no your lordship, The pleasure is ours." Oshiro says as he bows his head and makes Debiddo bow his head as well. "The Name is Daigusto Fujin, I am the 15th leader of the powerful Fujin clan." Himawari's father says with much enthusiasm. Daigusto then walks to Debiddo and pats him on the shoulder. "You are a strong man. I can sense the hardships you have faced to get this strong." "Well, thank you Sr." Debiddo says respectively "Don't worry about the Sr. part, its makes me seem old, hahahahaha" Daigusto says as he pats Debiddo's back extremely hard. "Just call me Gus. Itsmuch shorter" "No Father! Himawari yells. "You are royalty! such non-formalities aren't becoming of a ki..." Daigusto punches his daughter in the head "owwww dad that hurrttsss" Himawari whines. "What I told about acting like that." Daigusto says in a serious but calm tone. "You were not raised to act in such a manor, so why do you insist I act that way." Himawari grew quiet as Debiddo and Oshiro looks on with their hand on their mouths in shock. "Well come on you guys, let me take you to our manor. I know you guys are probably hungry." Daigusto says, changing the tone of the room. "Yes, I'm glad you asked I am starving!" Debiddo says as he rubs his growling stomach. "Very good, let's get a meal ready for you two" Daigusto says. "Riku, tell our chefs to prepare a feast for my Himawari's friends." "Father they are not my friends." Himawari says as she still rubs her head. "I'm helping them get ready for the exams." "Himawari, you won't get any friends with that kind of attitude." Daigusto says as walks towards outside. "Nevertheless, they are our guest and we shall treat them accordingly." Everyone then walks outside to be met with strong wind. Himawari and her uncle and her father are unaffected. Oshiro was able to give some resistance. Debiddo on the other hand, is struggling trying to keep his balance. Debiddo then points at the castle and says, "Wow that's a huge ass castle." Oshiro grabs Debiddo helping up before he falls again. "This my first time seeing a castle up close. You guys...oof..go-got a nice house." Debiddo continues struggling with the wind. "hahahahaha, that's not our home. That's the guest home" Daigusto then points upward a tall mountain. That's our house." Oshiro and Debiddo both looked up just to see a large castle that was so tall that clouds surrounds the top of the roof. "Woooow, What the hell?" Debiddo and Oshiro both says in awe. "Well let's head out now shall we?" Daigusto says grabbing Debiddo and Oshiro on the shoulder pushing them to the Fujin clans Transport vehicle powered by pure wind. Everyone got into the vehicle and with the word "Rise" by Daigusto, The vehicle rose up to the top of the castle. "Hey, Oshiro" Debiddo says. "Why are you so surprised by all of this?" Don't you be around royalty all the time due to you being a chaser?" "Well Debiddo, I am one of the lower guard soldiers. We carry out lower level missions and fight out in the front line in battles. Nothing more, nothing less." Oshiro then takes a big sigh and says. "Only those that rank high in the chaser exams, and or have a high ranking in a chaser tournament, will be inducted in the Royal Guards and will be able to meet royals, and also lord Ichiroun himself." "Wait what?" Debiddo says shocked "This whole time I thought you was part of some big time royal guard." "Well I'm not dammit" Oshiro says in an irritated tone. Silence fills the air of the carriage through half of the ride. Debiddo looks up at the mountain as wind blew through his afro. "But you know." Debiddo says "I'm glad that I had you train me in what you know. Learning something is way better than knowing nothing at all." Oshiro then turned around, looking the opposite way from Debiddo smiling ever so slightly. The carriage finally made it up the mountain. Debiddo and Oshiro leaves out of the carriage. Looking at a large building stretching the entirety of the mountain and scaling past the clouds. "Well we are here." Daigusto says with a stretch of his back. A small gust of wind that was carrying his staff, place the staff in his hands. Daigusto hits the ground twice with his staff causing the doors to the house to open up. "Welcome to the Fujin manor!" Daigusto says with a lot of emotion. "Oh my goodness dad, why you have to be so extra" Himawari says in embarrassment while she walks to the. "Whaaat, I'm just showing my guests our lovely home." Daigusto responds. "Whatever dad" Himawari responds as she walks away to the other room. Suddenly a gust of wind picks up Himawari and brought her back to her father. "Where do you think you are going?" Daigusto says to Himawari as the gust of wind puts her down. "What do you mean?" Himawari responds. Daigusto then starts pulling Himawari's cheeks saying. "Go escort them to the dining table." "But Dad!" Himawari whines. Daigusto then hits Himawari in the head. "No Buts, just do it!" Daigusto says in a commanding tone. "Finnnneee" Himawari retorts. Himawari then walks to a shocked Debiddo and Oshiro and says politely "If you please follow me, I'll take you to the dining area. Himawari then walks for 2 minutes with the crew to the dining area in which they look up in awe at how large the area is. The dining décor was something of a rugged but very fancy design. The furniture had perfectly hand crafted wood. With Golden veins throughout the entire design. The dining table stretched for eight feet. Covered with the finest green and gold silk. At the table, Himawari's Mother, Winda Fujin sat with her brother, Riku Fujin, and Himawari's twin siblings Dee, and Gus Fujin. They all wait paitently as Debiddo and Oshiro sits down at the table. "So Everyone!" Daigusto exclaims "These folks are the people that Himawari was traveling with!" The air in the room then lightens up when Daigusto says that. "Welcome, you guys!" Riku says with her hands stretched wide. "It's so nice to meet you!" "Yeah. Nice to meet ya!" Dee and Gus says as if they were echoing themselves. "Nice...To meet you too" Debiddo says confused. Dee then slams his hands on the table saying "You seem strong, can we fight, huh, can we, can we?" "Dee stop harassing them and sit up straight in your chair?" Himawari says as she sits down next to Debiddo. "Wow hima." Debiddo says scratching his head. "Your family is awfully friendly" "A little too friendly if I say so myself. Himawari retorts "And stop calling me Hima!" "No it's good. I thought that your family was going to be stuck-up and snobby like were, but I see now you just trying to hide who you actually are?" "Shut up! You do not know me!" Himawari said as she stands up abruptly. Himawari then stormed out with her head down. "Himawari!" Daigusto and Winda says together. "Hima wait!" Debiddo says following her out the room. Debiddo follows Himawari to the middle of their living room. "Stop following me Stupiddo!" Himawari says to Debiddo as she turns around in a fit. "Why are so embarrassed of your family. They seem like nice and loving people and they love you very much. They are so care-free and..." "That's why!" Himawari says interrupting Debiddo. "They are too care-free! I'm tired of being the laughing stalk of the other clans. I always had to deal with the pressures of being a noble of a family who doesn't take anything seriously!" Himawari starts crying. "We are always known as the AIRHEADS or the Wind For Brains. The Elementals that don't take anything seriously." Himawari then wipes her tears and straighten her voice. "I will pass the chaser exams and become a chaser that everyone will see as serious. Then finally...finally they will see us as True Nobles and not as jokes." Her words resonates with Debiddo which compels him to give Himawari a Strong embrace. This sudden hug catches Himawari off guard. "It's going to be ok Hima. You don't need to ashamed of your family. Your family loves you and who you truly are. No matter what others think about you." Debiddo then briefly remembers his mom through the conversation. "I was a piece of crap son to my mother and to my classmates. Even though I did all that , my mom still helped me and loved me no matter what. She took care of me, and treated me like a person no matter what I did to people, and I loved her for it." "What happened to your mother?" Himawari said with concern. "My mom....she was killed by a demon." Debiddo says with a broken voice. "That's the reason why I'm trying so hard to be a chaser. I want...no I NEED to avenge my family and everyone who was slaughtered by these demons. Only then everyone would be fully avenged from what happened." "Wow...Debiddo...I didn't know" Himawari says with concern. "Yeah..I know" Debiddo responds back. "Now come on, don't try to change your way of life or how your family are. Cause if they love and care about you, and you love and care about them, Then that's the only thing that should matter to you. Cause who cares about what others think of you. There is only one you, and if you try..to..change...That...You are no..longer yourself." Debiddo comes to a realization about himself and who he is as a person. "So come on Hima, let's go eat with your family." Himawari then smiles a smile that had so energy that it can outshine the sun, and says "Ok". Unknown to the both of them, Daigusto and Winda were both listening in to their conversation with a smile on their face. They walk back to the dining table without Himawari and Debiddo knowing. Himawari and Debiddo comes back to a table with conversation, laughter and a lot of eating. "Hey!! Welcome back you guys." Daigusto says with lots of energy. "Come get some of our cooking Debiddo" Winda says holding a roasted chicken on a plate in front of her face. "Yeah! Dis fuud iz good" Oshiro says as he has a mouth full of food. Dee and Gus then jumped on top of Oshiro saying to him "Play with us, Play with us" "O.K., O.K. geeeze" Oshiro says. "What are y'all, 2?" "We are 5 years old" Both Dee, and Gus says together. "Oh awesome!" Oshiro says getting up. "Let's go then. Debiddo I'll be gone for a bit." "Yaaaay" The Dee and Gus says together. "Alright, I see you when you get back" Debiddo said waving his hand in the air. Daigusto then says "You guys should go ahead and rest up here. We have plenty of space here, and that way you guys can leave with Himawari for the exams. "Oh really? Thank you so much" Debiddo says bowing his head. "Oh, it's no problem at all. A friend of my daughter is a friend of our family." Everyone then laugh together as Debiddo looked over to see a laughing Himawari. "I think I like this Himawari much more." He says to himself smiling.
